Chapter 16: Clues

The people who separated from Turly came to the business district of Tamar City. Looking at the noisy neighborhood as always, Mag's mood slowly relaxed, and as Mag's hand pointed to a four-story building, Turry and the others finally saw the headquarters of the House Chamber of Commerce.

In the business district with large and small chamber of commerce stores, the building of the headquarters of the House Chamber of Commerce is particularly magnificent. Four floors down is a large shop with a few luxuriously decorated carriages used by the aristocracy. According to Mag, this headquarters was built by his father a long time ago.

On the first floor are some ornate and expensive jewelry, which is very popular with some nobles and noble ladies. The second floor is a place to sell some magic items, and magicians and adventurers alike like to buy some simple and useful magic items. The third floor is some rare jewelry and magic items, and if you want to go up to the third floor, you must have a senior member of the House Chamber of Commerce to go up, and not anyone can go up. So it's not very difficult to get a premium membership, but most people just can't get it. That is, it needs to have a certain amount of assets and be appraised by the Chamber of Commerce before it can be issued. To put it bluntly, it's the amount of money. If your assets don't meet the requirements of the House Chamber of Commerce, then sorry, this is the reality of society. After all, if you don't have a lot of money, then it's useless for you to go up. The fourth floor is where some of the jewel-making technicians work, and no one other than the Chamber of Commerce is allowed to enter.

Behind the headquarters of the House Chamber of Commerce is a small courtyard, and there is also a three-story building in the courtyard, which is Mag's home.

Everyone came to the gate of Mag's house, and when the attendant guarding the door saw that Mag had returned, they hurriedly welcomed everyone into the courtyard.

"I've been out all the time I've been out lately, and nothing has happened, is it?, how is my father?" asked Mag in a series of questions about a young butler who was approaching.

"It was okay some time ago, nothing happened, but the old housekeeper quit his job three days ago, saying that he felt that his body was not good and wanted to return to his hometown. The old president looked at the old housekeeper's homesickness, gave the old housekeeper a large sum of money, and asked people to send him back to his hometown. The young butler said.

Mag and Turisenge glanced at each other, and both saw something that seemed to be ordinary, but at this juncture, it was not ordinary. "Where is my father?" asked the young butler.

"The elder is reading in the study on the second floor, and I just brought him a cup of hot tea. The elder will be glad to know that the president has returned safely, so go up quickly, president. The young butler said to Mag with a smile.

"Well, okay I see, you go get busy. Oh yes, the second son of the Tess family may have to come over in a while, if you come, you can ask him to go to my father's study on the second floor to find me, his name is Terley. ”

"Yes, President. I went first. The young butler turned and walked away.

Everyone helped Uncle De, who insisted on walking on the ground, down, and looked at Uncle De's still somewhat pale face, and heard Uncle De say: "I'll go with you to meet your father, I also have something to ask him." ”

Turry and Mag helped Uncle De and Senge up to the second floor together, and walked in the direction of the study.

Mag's father's name was Sinter, and he was a great samurai in his youth and participated in an adventuring team. It's also a master. However, he quit the team after suffering a leg injury. It was also at that time that he got acquainted with General Tang Guode. Later, after recovery, he chose to go into business. The career was smooth sailing under Tang Shu's care. It reached its current size, and his wife, Mag's mother, died at an early age, leaving father and son to depend on each other. Later, after the leg injury began to worsen, the family's business was slowly handed over to Mag to take care of. And Mag is a well-known filial son in Tamar City, who personally takes care of his father every day after he is unable to walk, never stopping. It was the aristocratic friend who commissioned him to go out once.

After his mobility problems, Mag's father was not depressed, but became obsessed with books. History, miscellaneous notes and the like are all collected.

Sint took the book handed over by the maid and was looking through it, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and when he looked up, he saw that his son had returned, and saw that his son, who had rarely gone out in recent years due to his leg inconvenience, had returned safely.

"Mag, you're back, it's okay to come back, it's okay on the road, these are your friends......, aren't they?" What's wrong with you!?" Synte's mood grew angry with Derain's serious injury. Seeing his son come back with a few strangers, and the look of worry on his face, coupled with Delan's serious injury, gave Cint a bad premonition. With a wave of his hand, he waved the maid away, and invited everyone to sit down.

"Mag, Deran, what's going on?' Something happened on the way?" Cint calmed down after a brief moment of confusion and shock, after all, he was a generation that had been through the storm and waves, and he seemed much calmer.

"Father, that's what happened......" Mag slowly told his father all the things that had happened on the road. During this time, he also introduced his father to Turry and Senge. After hearing this, Shinter expressed his deep gratitude to Toury and Senger, and then fell into deep thought, apparently analyzing the matter himself.

"Sind, do you remember the White Tiger Assius?" Uncle De's voice interrupted Sint's musings.

"I have the impression that he has a mercenary guild under him, and he is also a mid-level martial artist. The "Tiger Roar" martial arts have few opponents. At that time, it was also one of the most fierce organizations in the kingdom of Aster, but wasn't he killed by the vice-president of the Holy See? What are you mentioning him for......?

"Yes, just a few days ago, he was the one who attacked us in Xianglong Mountain. And he's already at the realm of a great martial artist...... Obviously, he didn't die back then, and he had some chances. And it seems that he is the one who serves this mysterious organization. By the way, Zinte, is that necklace still there? Show it to me. Uncle De said to Mag's father.

"Here, Mag, you open the cupboard, and it's in that mahogany box. Cint handed the key to Mag and motioned for him to open the cabinet and take out the necklace.

Mag took out the box where the necklace was stored, did not open it, but handed it to Uncle De as soon as possible. Uncle De slowly opened it, looking at the empty box that should have had a magic necklace, and raised his head and looked at Sint in surprise and inexplicably. Slowly turning the empty box and showing it to Mag's father.

Mag's father looked at the empty box and fell into shock, his face mixed with annoyance, regret, and remorse. "It seems that we all underestimated the penetration of that organization. A few days ago, when the old butler who had followed me for most of my life asked me to return to my hometown, we talked for a long time in this study...... That's right!" Old man Xint was shocked as if he suddenly remembered something!

"During this time, he took out a piece of incense and said that it was good for my injury. Then I had a dream. I forgot everything in the dream, but I found that I woke up and fell asleep on the table in the study, I didn't care about it at the time, but thought that my body was slowly failing, a natural phenomenon. Now that I think about it, it must be the old butler......" Cint seemed to suddenly age a few years old, and his heart became heavy.

Everyone's mood became a little heavy and surprised. It was obviously not easy to buy a member of the family who had followed him for most of his life! "Uncle Sint, do you still have that piece of incense?"

"I found out afterwards that the incense had been lit, but now I think it must have been taken by the old butler...... But I still have that incense burner, and I haven't burned any other incense, here. Cint picked up the incense-burned incense burner from his desk and handed it to Toury.

Turi didn't know anything about burning incense. In the study, only Senge raised his hand to take it from Turui's hand. Apparently well-informed, he knows something.

I saw him look at it for a while before he said, "This kind of incense is not different from the common ones on the market, at least I haven't seen it." I think it is made by a special process, and the main ingredient is not clear. I've never seen anyone use it!" Senge shook his head as well.

Misty incense and the like, it is generally a consistent trick of the assassin or thief profession, and Brother Sen, who has been in the mercenary guild all year round, has never seen it, which means that this thing is really rare!
