"What's going on over there?"

Ivas was a little puzzled: "Is it the shipment smuggled by the former trade secretary that has arrived?" ”

He remembered that just this morning, Sherlock had made a point of mentioning it.

The cargo ship was scheduled to return to port today. And it was sent out before Minister Drost was arrested, and there was no information after leaving the country, and it was impossible for them to know that Drost had an accident. Therefore, the previous smuggling plan should also be carried out normally.

Then now it should be fully loaded.

"This kind of thing should be directly taken over by the Inspectorate, right?"

Ivus was a little puzzled: "What about Edward?" ”

Speaking of which, it seems like he hasn't seen Edward in a few days.

The last time we met, it was before Ivus faked his death - because Ivus was not very worried about Edward's acting skills, he was not notified of the news of his fake death.

He didn't look like Sherlock after all...... According to Sherlock's personality of liking to act alone and investigate privately, his fake death really scared everyone. Because there is a real possibility that something will happen, he needs to notify a circle of people and not scare his own people.

But Ivus was obviously much more poised than Sherlock, and he wasn't so easy to fool, and he didn't even have a corpse.

So Ivas needs to ask Edward to help him deceive people - Ivas doesn't have to do anything himself, and when Edward is in a hurry, the others will know that "Oh, it looks like he's really missing" is not hiding.

After dealing with the affairs of Lloyd's and Minister Drost, the prince was cursed and killed, the Overseer was attacked by the giant prince Wolfram, the trap was set up to kill the bone carving, and Lady Meg was molted and reborn...... This was followed by Ehuas's advancement ceremony and final exam.

He's been busy for the past two weeks.

Ivus simply forgot to look for Edward.

And now he remembered — oh yes, I have a big brother.

Speaking of which, he has been "resurrected" for a week. Why didn't Edward come to him?

- Or why didn't Edward come to the funeral when Prince Andrew died?

"I don't know, I haven't seen it in a long time."

Isabel shook her head slightly.

Although under the guidance of the Queen, she is now also in contact with politics. But after all, she still has to take care of the improvement of her studies and extraordinary abilities, and she doesn't have so much energy to directly take over the various political affairs of Avalon.

"Since he didn't come to Prince Andrew's funeral, it means that Edward may have disappeared a week ago."

Evas fell into deep thought, and said to himself, "But Your Majesty has not specifically mentioned this to me. Lygia didn't say anything either...... So at least he shouldn't have had an accident. ”

"He's not going to fake his death."

Isabel blurted out.

Ivas almost choked on his own saliva.

"Not so much...... It shouldn't be," Rationally speaking, this is definitely impossible, but Ivas is suddenly a little uncertain now, "After all, as the chief inspector, he is usually relatively low-key. The people who can see him are either of high status or have committed something serious......"

"Don't you know?"

Suddenly, Janis's voice rang out, "Edward has gone abroad. ”

"Huh?"

Ivus was startled.

The paintings hanging in the house have just been burned, where did Janis get out?

Janis's voice came from the magic painting above Ivus's bedroom—the one that looked like a window. Because it was so much like a window that Ivas forgot it was a painting when he glanced at it.

It usually brought fresh air to Ivus, and at this moment Janis emerged from the painting. Because the material of the magic painting is not ordinary paper, it was able to survive the burning aura of the morning black fire.

At this moment, Janis was like a puppy with its paws on the edge of the bed, grabbing the painted "window" with both hands and poking her head in from the outside.

“…… How long have you been listening here? ”

Ivus's expression was complicated.

Janis said with a smile, "Start with 'I'm afraid of pain'. ”

- Didn't you hear it all!

"Huh......?"

Isabel's eyes widened with curiosity.

Ivas ...... Are you afraid of pain?

She was a little excited—maybe she was even better than Ivus in this regard.

- She's not afraid of pain!

In the promotion ceremony before, even if her head hurts so much, it doesn't affect her investigation; Even if she blew her head with a pistol, she could recover with just a shake of her head.

"Rest assured," Janis shrunk half of her head slightly, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes, "I'm just watching." I don't want to be the person in the painting...... In that case, it will be skewed to the dusk path. ”

Janis is really fond of eavesdropping and peeping. She doesn't leak secrets, she has a very tight mouth, she is simply full of curiosity, and she wants to lean over and take a look at everything.

The "artist" can dive into any painting, but usually requires constant jumping and a certain distance limit; However, if you draw it yourself, you can teleport it even if it is far away.

I hope that Isabel will not learn from her teacher when she is higher in the future......

If Isabel learns this bad habit, it's over.

- After all, the queen can decide the currency.

The banknotes used today by Eivers were only used on a large scale almost a hundred or two hundred years ago. Until then, the most commonly used currencies were coins.

At that time, coins were not edging, and it was easy to become irregular in use. At that time, many people would cut off the edges of coins or grind some powder, and over time they would be able to make up a lot of silver or even gold. Because of this, many coins on the market are getting smaller and lighter.

In order to put an end to this situation of bad money, a king introduced paper money more than 200 years ago. At that time, Prince Lloyd had not yet appeared, and the royal family still had complete and unchecked power. They can do whatever they want.

The original banknotes were printed with royal heads, much like the Avalon Triangle carved on ancient silver coins. Soon after, counterfeit coins appeared.

Even if the king used the Nine Clans' Elimination Technique, it didn't help—counterfeiting was rampant, disrupting Avalon's economy and causing chaos in the country. So the king was forced to bring back the coins again, and the banknotes and coins were mixed.

But after that, it became more and more chaotic. It wasn't until more than 100 years ago that a king creatively decided to eliminate the circulation of gold coins, make silver coins the highest grade currency, and then create two grades of copper and copper coins, and print new banknotes.

He put a layer of bread on the outside of the coins so that they would be easily spotted if they were cut; He also had the coins and banknotes emblazoned with the emblems of the silver crown dragon, the candle and the sand timepiece. Claiming that it was a currency used under the supervision of the pillar gods, making and using counterfeit money is tantamount to blasphemy.

When the church heard it, it was spiritual. The bishops of Avalon were asked to help carry out the promotion, and it was almost since then that the counterfeit money of Avalon was extinct.

When people encounter counterfeit coins marked by the king's head or Avalon, or bad coins with insufficient weight, they will most likely assume that they don't know and just use them secretly. As a result, there is an increasing number of counterfeit and bad coins circulating in the market.

- But if it has anything to do with the Nine Pillars God, people won't dare.

Originally, even if counterfeit money was used, there was nothing、After all, it was not made by them, and it was a big deal to be found to be genuine; But now if you use counterfeit money, you risk blasphemy—although probability-wise, the Nine Pillars God can't keep an eye on everyone who uses coins, and may not even bother to bother with it.

But people don't dare to gamble.

Because there really is God in this world.

This is the authoritarian royal family's solution to the problem.

And if Isabel becomes queen, she has another solution - that is, to print all the coins with her own hand-drawn paintings, and even slightly larger denominations can be printed directly into magic paintings. This is undoubtedly the best anti-counterfeiting mark, and the cost can be reduced once the volume is up.

In this case, it means that Isabel's "eyes and ears" are all over the country.

As long as there is money on them, they will become Isabel's surveillance camera. She can also jump and teleport with these notes......

That's terrifying.

If people found out about it, it might have caused panic.

…… And Ivas had a hunch. If Isabel had done this, she might have been drawn for money.

Hopefully, Isabel won't remember it—or rather, hopefully, when Isabel comes up with the idea, she'll have time to stop it.

Evas thought for a moment and asked, "Did Edward go to teach the country?" ”

His first reaction was "Did Edward go to Mr. Oswald?"

Their old butler said that he would be back soon, but now it has been almost half a month, and he still has no news at all. If Ivas hadn't known that Oswald's combat power was about the same as the fifth level, he would have wondered if something had happened to him.

- If the adoptive father is missing, the housekeeper goes to look for him and then disappears as well; So Edward went to the butler and disappeared again, which is hilarious.

Hulu baby save grandpa, right?

"It's not a church, it's an irise."

Annis replied, "The Queen's order - do you remember the girl who assassinated you earlier?" According to the investigation of the Inspectorate, her grandfather was the vice chairman of the Iris Public Safety Committee, the powerhouse of the fifth energy level of Iris, which is equivalent to our Grand Judge. This is already a diplomatic event...... In order not to damage Avalon and your interests, Edward took the initiative to ask Ying to deal with this matter.

"He was going to have to dwell on it for a while longer because we didn't have the evidence, which was a problem. Thankfully, Lars Graham has shown a flaw – and there is no doubt that we are going to win big this time.

"If you're curious about the port, you don't have to go there. Because Madame Red has already gone to arrest people...... This time, a smuggler who was connected to Drost came with the ship. He is the person who sent it to the door.

"Oh, yes. You may not know ...... The Red Lady was Edward's deputy. Just go to the Inspectorate and wait. But I think she can handle it too. ”

…… The Red Lady?

Eivas remembered the man.

She also seems to have something to do with Chancellor Drost, and she also seems to have something to do with Lloyd's...... But Ivas wasn't so sure.

He and Lily looked at each other, making sure that each other's impressions were correct.

- Gotta meet her. Not only to meet the smugglers, but also to see the Red Lady.

However, the smugglers who came from Star Antimony to sell goods to Drost......

For some reason, Ivas always felt a little familiar.

Then Ivas spoke, "Then let's go and have a look." Isabel, do you have an exam in the afternoon? ”

"Nope."

Isabel shook her head: "I only have one left, and it's tomorrow afternoon." ”

"I'm pretty much the same," Ivus smiled and patted her hand, "Let's go, then?" ”

“…… Is that what you're wearing? Why don't I get out of the way for a while, and you can change your clothes and come back to me. ”

Isabel replied crisply.

But......

Did he have longer hair?

She looked at Eivus's soft white blonde hair, which had now turned into shawl hair, and felt a little confused.

Isabel knew that Evas was reading the Tantra—the servants had already told her.

- What kind of hair growth tantra is this?

Then if Ivus looks at it again, will it become waist-length long hair?

Isabel felt a tickle in her heart.

She decided to wait until she was done to draw a magic picture of Ivus's waist-length hair - although Ivus's hair was still far from that far, her imagination could make up for it!
