Mage? Spell Engineer!

Should I still mention this? Melo Wenjia has nothing to do with the Master, so he could only be here for himself. Rorschach frowned and said something shocking: "Which Merovingian are you talking about?"

"What, you still have contact with the Grand Duke Mero Wenjia?" Could it be that after beating the Grand Duke's son, Master Rorschach came to apologize?

"Of course, do you want me to show it to you?" Rorschach also took out a contract like Gerald before entering the house and flashed it, but the investigator was not sure and only wrote down the signature of Grand Duke Mero Wenjia, Family crest and many digits.

The young man in front of me still has money dealings with the Grand Duke! This was the most influential nobleman in the banking industry. When he thought about his background check and found out that Rorschach was the major shareholder of the most powerful liquor merchant in the capital, Gerald's mind was spinning again and again, and his eyes were wandering.

Rorschach, who caught this, struck while the iron was hot, took out his gold watch and said deliberately: "It's already this time, Master Gerald, shall we go to dinner together?"

Gerald saw Yuci's pocket watch again. Luo Xia was afraid that his eyesight would be bad, so she deliberately held up the watch chain and let the shell dangle in front of him.

"This ornament." As the "young man" among the aristocrats, Gerald of course picked up heraldry appreciation skills. The relief pattern on it is a celestial globe and musical instruments on both sides, with a goddess holding a flag in the middle, representing wisdom, Art and victory.

This combination was most often the work of the palace owner. Rorschach "inadvertently" turned the dial over and showed it to Gerald. The sapphire blue enamel was dotted with three golden irises.

"You and the King"

"Ah, this watch was indeed a gift from His Majesty the King. According to His Majesty, it was made by him himself. Master Villefort, you have such a good eye."

"Just call me Gerald."

Rorschach took this opportunity to talk about his past chatting and laughing with the King and Duplessi, and Gerald listened with his mouth slightly open.

After a few brief chats, Rorschach was almost done meeting him. Although Gerald thought he had restrained his expression, Rorschach saw that this man's expression changed again and again. He was arrogant at first and respectful at the other, which was quite ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, one day when he would borrow the power of Charlie Sixteen Fox, Luo Xia put away the gold watch given to him by the royal family and once again suggested that they go to the cafeteria to eat together.

"No need, I have other things to do, take my leave."

"Master Gerald, thank you for your hard work." Rorschach seemed to have remembered something and added: "By the way, you haven't found Master Pascal yet, have you? This guy is acting recklessly!"

He shook his head exaggeratedly, then lowered his voice and whispered the last words before the other party went out: "I even suspect that he is the illegitimate son of Master Kano. You have to investigate carefully."

"Thank you for providing very important information. I will do a good job in the investigation. Goodbye, Master Rorschach!"

Rorschach waved his hand, thinking that it would be best to never see him again.

After Gerald left the Tower of Stars, he met with other investigators. It was well known that he and Granol were close, and he was appointed as the team leader. The results of the investigation were naturally gathered into Gerald's hands.

However, he was now reviewing them one by one, pulling out a few contents from time to time, and he also pulled out a lot of Rorschach's lecture notes. He didn't plan to report it entirely.

"Carnot Granol" At this time, Gerard de Villefort seemed to be transformed into a scale, with Carnot, Rorschach and Pascal on one side, and then Poincaré and the Alchemy Ministry, and Granol and other aristocratic factions on the other side. .

Gerald did not expect that Rorschach, His Majesty the King, and Grand Duke Merowenja could chat and laugh happily. He was a little doubtful. Is he or Rorschach born in a noble family? At the same time, the assets this kid controls are not small, and he also has interactions with many great mages.

Damn it, he was still on the same level as him at such a young age. Gerald had never seen anything about "Don't bully a young man into being poor", but he knew that the young man he originally planned to deal with was not poor at all.

Hiss. Thinking about the guild subordinates behind the Archmage, the scale of manpower and material resources that can be mobilized far exceeds that of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, and the balance is tilting towards Kano.

A mage who was also part of the investigation team came in, and she was a little dissatisfied: "I heard that you went to the Tower of Stars to investigate with great fanfare today? Wouldn't this expose our intention on Kano's territory?"

"This is only the preliminary stage, and we are acting under orders. We are not afraid to show everyone the progress of our investigation to show that this matter is open and fair."

It seems that Gerald was led by the "strange apprentice" and Rorschach today, but his goal has been achieved.

Since it was a battle between two archmages, and he was unlucky enough to be the first in line of soldiers to charge into the battle, he had to make things happen loud and clear. It's best to let everyone know that Villefort is here to investigate, but not to irritate the parties involved, so be careful about it.

Sure enough, I found out the depth. Gerald considered today's results with satisfaction and determined that Kano's students were not easy to mess with. The quality of his connections was high and hard, and he was suspected of being an illegitimate child connived by the Archmage. Neither of them should be offended, that is, neither of them could investigate further. .

"If you feel that the investigation is not sufficient, I will use you as the main force in the follow-up work!" Gerald sent the female mage away, and now began to worry about another matter - whether to take refuge with the Archmage of Kano, and when to maximize the benefits of taking refuge.

Ta-ta-ta. He knocked on the desk, picked up the documents he wanted to conceal with his other hand and put them in his bag.

"The investigation team has come to see me. An intermediate mage named Gerald Villefort was talking to me." Rorschach immediately reported to Cano. He clearly realized who had the final say and who had the final say in this territory. Currently, we are most capable of changing the current situation of Normal University.

But Cano didn't seem to care: "Gerrard, I didn't expect that he could be promoted before he was forty years old."

Rorschach spoke some more, mentioning Granol's signature, but Cano kept writing furiously.

It took a while for the master to stop. He rubbed his eyes tiredly and said, "I'm sorry, I will be involved in secular affairs during this time."

"Huh?" Luo Xia smelled the smell of intelligence, and the letters he wrote to the agency director every month always contained something valuable occasionally.

Being able to entangle the "mundane affairs" of the chief mage of the Tower of Stars must be very valuable.

"Oh, I shouldn't have discussed it with you, an imperial guy." He said with a smile. Who said Luo Xia was the "Prince King of the North" who could serve as a temporary adviser to the king:

"If, I mean if, His Majesty the King wants the Magic Guild and its affiliated chambers of commerce to give him more money, what should we offer in return so as not to lose money?"

"The king's coffers are still short of money?"

"As long as our Majesty is alive, we will always be short of money." Necker's method after coming up was just to postpone the date of debt repayment, and it was approaching step by step. Although the Finance Minister tries to open up as much as possible, he is like a futile pool manager, filling the pool with water and draining the water at the same time. The drain is also a "mouth of the abyss" called the royal family.

Rorschach thought for a while: "If it is just a unilateral transaction between the guild and the royal family, it may not be possible."

"What business is there that we can't take over?" Kano was a little curious.

Rorschach took out a banknote representing gold lang, and held the portrait of Charles XVI with two fingers: "Master Carnot, don't you think there is a big problem with His Majesty and his financial controller printing money and spending it at the same time? Who can Are you going to make sure that the palace doesn’t give you random money?”
