Chapter 141: Lady Patty

- [Private mission, investigate the cause of death of the territory merchant Fairbers, find out the murderer, no limit on identity, unlimited number of people, rich reward, interview, no less than 100 gold coins.

A private mission? Xia Duo saw it, and immediately became interested, 100 gold coins were completely worth his waste of a try, if the cause of death could be found and the murderer could be found, then this cost performance would be quite high.

Making a decision, Xia Duo immediately came to the office desk and said to the apprentice on duty, "I want to take on mission 001!" "As usual, it is to check and verify Xia Duo's identity, then record it and transfer it to the mage on duty for filing, and then the mage on duty will give Xia Duo a task voucher.

was about to leave, but heard the mage on duty remind,

"Take it when you see it." Xia Duo didn't know why, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the mage waved his hand away and stopped talking, and Xia Duo could only leave first, but he also realized that this matter might not be just a simple homicide.

Fortunately, Xia Duo was not going to investigate more deeply, he was trying to complete the task indicators of the promotion authority as soon as possible, not really wanting to do any territorial tasks.

If you can mix gold coins, you will be satisfied. Because it was a private task, Xia Duo specially went back and changed into the robe he received at the award ceremony last year, decorated with gold and silver threads, and entrusted Xia Duo like a real mage.

Of course, he is now a true mage, not an apprentice, and he is also changing into this body to facilitate bargaining.

…… Savile Township, North District. This is a villa with different styles, but with some commonalities, Xia Duo is also relatively familiar with Savile Town, how can he not see the elf style.

However, except for the ten villas on the northernmost side of the water, the styles and shapes are different, which makes people feel happy at first sight, and the rest are like imitators of the former, and some can't even copy them well.

Of course, Xia Duo's target this time is not one of the ten waterfront villas, and he is also an imitator, but it is a relatively good copy, but the aqueduct on the side that completely does not see the water exposes its plagiarism.

Xia Duo had just seen it in those ten villas, but they were built near the water, and they could bring water from the Wolfburg River and make it into fountains and pools.

But it's a bit of a scrappy thing on its side. This may be the otherworldly

"Vassal elegance"! Because Xia Duo's robes are quite gorgeous and exquisite, and the decorations of gold and silver threads sparkle in the sun, they can be seen from afar, and Xia Duo has also gained a lot of awe-inspiring eyes along the way.

And he also tried his best to maintain an expressionless appearance, someone came up to salute and greet, Xia Duo did not stop, just nodded slightly, and made a full gesture.

These ordinary people couldn't see the reality of this robe at all, they just thought that it was a mage passing by, and they didn't think that it was an apprentice who was too much to swagger Although Xia Duo's current identity is still an apprentice, he has indeed reached the level of a formal mage, and he is not afraid of being exposed by someone pretending to be a mage, because he really is.

When they arrived at the door of Fairbers Villa, the two guards were talking with a sad face, and as soon as Zheng Xiaduo came, he looked at the two of them indifferently and came out: "I came from the Mage Tower to take the task and take me to meet the master here." "Mage Towers, quests, plus the so-called

"The mage is majestic", the guard at the door immediately saluted respectfully when he heard the voice,

"Master Mage, please follow me." A guard took Xia Duo directly to the living room, and the servant also brought a hot drink at the right time, Xia Duo glanced at the black liquid in the cup and did not move.

"My lord, please wait a moment, Madame will be here soon."

"Hmm." Xia Duo took out the magic book and flipped through it, and before he could read a few pages, he heard a rush of footsteps, Xia Duo put away the book and saw that a young woman appeared from one side, surrounded by four or five male servants and maids.

The woman was outstanding in appearance and elegant in posture, but her expression was depressed, and her brows were tightly locked, revealing a morbid style, Xia Duo couldn't help but look at it twice, but it was nothing more.

A mage's compulsion still has to be maintained.

"My lord, you received a mission from the Mage Tower?" The woman seemed a little skeptical, but her attitude was still quite respectful,

"I don't know what adults call you?"

"My name is Xia Duo, what is your identity? What is the relationship with Fairbers? ”

"Lord Chardo, Fairber is mine, mineβ€”" The woman said the last words without saying anything, and her expression became even more depressed.

At this time, a maid next to her came out for her,

"After the death of the master's original wife, it has always been Mrs. Patty who has taken care of him, but because of the strong opposition of the master's son, this matter has not been made public." Shado nodded in understanding, and instead of asking Fairbers' son why he didn't show up, he talked about the honorarium, and there was no shame in talking about money, on the contrary, the mage liked to talk about money.

"Lady Patty, I don't know much from the Mage Tower, I need you to provide more detailed information, and the matter of the honorarium needs to be prepared in advance." Mrs. Patty did not hesitate to pay the honorarium, offering to give 100 gold coins as long as the cause of death was found, 500 gold coins to determine the identity of the murderer, and if Xia Duo could catch the murderer alive, Mrs. Patty was willing to pay 1,000 gold coins.

Even if you catch a corpse, you will get 700 gold. This made Shado so pleased, and he was eager to agree at once, but he was still somewhat reserved, but his hesitation made Mrs. Patty think that he was not satisfied with the honorarium.

It was even a little higher, and Xia Duo also accepted it when he saw it, inquired about the specific circumstances of the case, and of course offered to examine the body.

Mrs. Patti resisted her grief and agreed,

"My lord, after the accident, Fairbers didn't move, and he was still in the study, please come with me." …… The study of Fairbers Villa was on the second floor, and up the stairs behind the drawing-room, Lady Patty told Chateau how she had discovered Fairbers' death.

"The morning before, Fairbers and I had tea on the first floor, and then he suddenly had something to deal with, so he went back to the study, and the servants of the house saw it, but at noon, I asked the servant to call him downstairs to eat, but there was no response, and then I found out that something had happened." Xia Duo was a little puzzled, if there were no obvious traces of ordinary death, but if he suspected that he killed him, then he didn't necessarily have to find a mage to check it, and then the mage apprentice could find out something.

There are too many more professional people, even among ordinary people, there must be someone who knows more about autopsy than a mage!

"Didn't you find someone to see it afterwards?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Patty wiped the corners of her eyes without a trace, and said,

"I found a wanderer who was good at making drugs, but I didn't find anything, and then I found a few adventurers, but I couldn't find anything abnormal, but I just died of natural causes when I was old."

"Old enough to die a natural death?" Xia Duo then remembered that he only knew that the deceased was a merchant named Fairbers, and after seeing Lady Betty again, he also subconsciously judged that Fairbers was not old.

"How old is Fairbers?"

"He's 52 years old."
