Colin and Hank soon left Baron Joyce's mansion, leaving only two of his men to record Mr. Baron's description of the case and his claims.

Because he was shocked by what had just happened, Baron Joyce cooperated very well to complete the "transcript".

The female sheriff, who was considered by Colin to be "very sexy in standard soft armor", took out a charcoal pen very professionally and asked the baron to sign, and asked Summerer on the side by the way:

"Is there anything you would like to explain or add, Lord Summer?"

Summerer snorted coldly, "If I had to say, I suggest you check out your own magic advisor, shouldn't a magician who can use that magic pattern so skillfully be suspected?" ”

The female sheriff under Hank, whose name was Maya, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then immediately laughed:

"Are you sure you want me to record your claim truthfully?"

"Why not?" Summerer said indifferently: "Anyway, it's your own business to check it or not." ”

"I'm only responsible for recording your words."

Maya smiled: "But to be honest, with our position, we don't have the authority to investigate that Mr. Advisor for the time being, but I suggest that you can express your suspicions through the Magic Association, after all, that Mr. was also hired by us from the Association." ”

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Summer, who didn't plan to get into too much trouble with the sheriff's office, was pushed to the head of the female sheriff in front of him, and he couldn't get off the stage at all if he didn't say something.

"Of course not." Maya did not continue to entangle him, turned her head to say goodbye to the baron, and then called her colleagues and prepared to leave.

When she reached the staircase leading to the ground, she stopped, looked back and smiled:

"By the way, Mr. Summer, our advisor's name is Colin Wayne, please remember clearly, don't find the wrong person."

With that, he walked up the stairs and left.

"Colin Vane?"

The two men left behind silently recited the name, and then their eyes widened at the same time.

Summer's legs went limp.

……

After saying goodbye to Hank, Colin sent Bob back to the Mage Tower first.

Yourself enters the Old Town from the path.

When he saw that the shop selling ice water was empty, he patted his head and secretly laughed at his life - Anne was still in the academy at this time.

He paced out of the Old Town and slowly came to the Canal Zone.

This time is a bit embarrassing, and there is nothing to do when I go to the You Jin Chamber of Commerce, and it is too early to go back to the Mage Tower, and I think that I have not rested a lot, and it is not bad to take a walk in this free time.

The Canal District is the busiest place in Thunder City, where more than eighty percent of the goods trade is gathered, but as long as it is not on the banks of the canal, it is not particularly noisy, but the various shop fronts seem lively and prosperous.

The shops here are not as high-end as those in the garden area, nor are they as modest as the slums.

Thanks to the King's New Deal and the advantages of the capital, Thunder City certainly has a large number of people living in extreme poverty, but relatively speaking, the number of middle-class civilians is not a minority, which can support a large number of mid-range shops in the Canal Zone.

Colin walked a few steps, didn't see anything particularly satisfying, and finally bought a piece of roasted sweet potato and ate it as he walked.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

In a shop with a wider façade than the next few shops, business is obviously better than others.

Several boys and girls were chattering and discussing something together, and from time to time there was a burst of exclamation and laughter.

"I must marry a wife as beautiful as Miss Dinah in the future."

"Just you? I think you'd better make up for a while with your father's maid, Carly Murdo. ”

"Carlie Murdo has only one eye and is 35 years old...... I'll fight with you. ”

"Haha......"

“……”

Intrigued, Colin walks into the store and finds a row of small but delicate photographs on the display case.

He smiled, and immediately understood that this store belonged to the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, and these palm-sized photos were the product of the collaboration between the camera and Dinah.

Strictly speaking, this belongs to the work of the second generation of photo cameras.

At the same resolution, the smaller the size, the higher the technical requirements, and the second-generation photographer can not only take smaller photos, but also increase the number of shipments per time from the original one to 20.

But even so, in the case of huge market demand, Dinah still needs to take pictures for more than 8 hours a day.

This young dancer, who was originally only famous in high society, swept the entire civilian class of Thunder City in an instant.

After the photo size has been greatly reduced, the Chamber of Commerce has a reason to reduce the price.

An oil painting-sized portrait costs 10 gold francs, while a palm-sized photo costs only 5 silver guilders. Of course, the Chamber of Commerce does not support selfies with small photos for the time being, so the photos of this size on the market are all printed by Dinah alone, and the current launch is a long skirt dance photo, a total of 12 photos.

This price is still not cheap, Colin even thought that there would be no market for it, after all, it was not his own photo, who would have nothing to do to spend this unjust money to buy someone else's photo - even if it was a beautiful woman.

Yet Colin still forgot one thing.

In a world where there is no television, no movies, and middle-class civilians find it difficult to see even shoddy live performances, it is already quite a pleasure for ordinary people to be able to get a high-definition photo of a beautiful woman.

The entertainment that most civilians look forward to is watching the cabaret performances organized by the town hall from afar during the festive season, where few people can see the actors on stage.

After the layout of the high-end market, the Chamber of Commerce gradually spread the business of the photograph to the mid-end market, although the unit price profit is much lower, but the sales volume far exceeds the former.

Many people have saved up for a few months to buy a photo of Dinah, and those who are a little richer are already thinking about collecting 12 group photos.

The noisy boys and girls in the shop reminded Colin of those young people who chased stars in his previous life, the difference is that the cost of chasing stars in this world is too high, and the parents of these teenagers are at least high-level craftsmen, or small businessmen who do some trading.

In Colin's view, the business planning of the photograph is already the end at this stage.

Although the population of the Old City accounts for half of the entire Thunder City, it is almost impossible to do business among these people.

Just think about Anne and know that she couldn't have spent 500 bowls of ice water on a photo of a stranger.

And Anne is already a group of people among the poor who are nimble and have a decent life, and many of the poor may not be able to scrape together 5 silver guilders after selling all their belongings; A small number of destitute families even have to take turns going out, because there is only one pair of pants in the house, and whoever goes out wears it.

This is still Thunder City, and in all the lands of the Tulun Kingdom, which occupies nearly half of the entire southern continent, such poor people abound.

Thinking of this, Colin could only sigh: The people are too poor to scrape oil and water.
