Wizard From Afar

At midnight, the furnace sect protecting church.

This church, neither too big nor too small, was built directly opposite the Alchemy Academy. Like the entire town, the walls and bricks were stained lead-grey by dust in the air, but instead The Holy Cross sculpture at the top of the church is still flawlessly pure white.

The Church of the Holy Cross and the Wizard Academy are far away, and it is also called a "spectacle" in the empire.

However, this is not the same as the attitude of the priest in Forgetown to the foreign wizards, how polite it can be...

"This is the realm of the Holy Cross. Nobody is allowed to stay behind closed doors. Step in." A priest with a firm expression held a candle in his hand and stood in front of the black hair wizard: "If you want to pray, please tomorrow morning, believer!"

"I'm very sorry, but Brandon and I ·His Royal Highness Desalion has an agreement, it only takes a quarter of an hour."

"Pray tomorrow morning, believers!" The priest repeated it with a stern face.

"I am your Royal Highness's wizard advisor, you only need to tell the story to be clear." Loren, who is "experienced" in Ancient Wood Town, didn't mean to give up at all, and took a semi-threatening step:

p>

"Alternatively, we can also have a fight here and scare Your Highness directly?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Prince's forehead, and he was still clenching his teeth and not retreating:

"This is...the realm of the Holy Cross!"

"What if I have to go in?"

The black hair wizard stepped forward again, The tense priest subconsciously retreated, and the door behind him was suddenly opened!

"Loren, and this...priest?" Brandon, who was dressed in a loose robe and some sleepy eyes, looked at the two in surprise:

"What are you doing? "

"No offense, Your Royal Highness Brandon! But your wizard advisor, unexpectedly, after the church is closed at midnight..."

"Pray!" black hair wizard He immediately intercepted the agitated priest and explained with a smile: "I just can't sleep, so I plan to take this opportunity to pray to the Holy Cross, that's all."

"Hey...I don't know. Are you so religious? With a long ending, the prince with a grin glanced at him, and then yawned and waved his hand:

"Forget it, no matter what it is, come in now, I'm already Waiting for you for a long time. "

"Yes, Your Highness. "Slightly nodded, Loren smiled to the priest nodded who was still stunned in place, and then followed Brandon through the gate and walked into the church along the promenade.

"But, but Bran Your Highness! This, this is really..." The excited priest yelled a few words, and the two who had already walked away unanimously chose to pretend to be deaf, and left the "pious believer" outside.

Midnight The church was empty, only the moonlight through the window edge barely illuminated the promenade, so that the two would not discredit back to the room.

"Okay, let go of the too enthusiastic priest, Is there anything you want to say? "Brandon, who was asking questions while yawning, walked forward sleepily, hunched his hands on both sides, and his fiery-red hair was also drooping:

"I will come here at night, always It’s not to see how ugly my sleeping posture is-let me guess, what'should not be found' thing you found? "

"Much better than those, His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion. "

Loren walking behind shrugged his shoulders, and slowly put his hands behind his back:

"About the archives of Furnace Town for the past four years, there are some very interesting things..."

…………………………

"Fake! "

Suddenly raised his hands, the file in front of Isaac was thrown backwards by him, and fell precisely into the barrel behind the chair-if it could still be packed.

"What's the meaning? "Loren, holding his shoulders, glanced at the back of the chair. The large and small accounts and files were like waste paper, thrown all over the floor by Isaac.

"Uh...don't understand? "

A certain genius showed a confused expression, pouting browse knit: "Did I use any particularly profound grammar?" OK, let me put it another way-the data recorded in these files have obvious loopholes in the actual basis and conventional theories, and they cannot be proved reasonable through normal descriptions, trying to use the results and big data to confuse the process. Usually scholars call this kind of behavior "fraud", a kind of behavior that clearly violates the imperial law. "

"..."

"...It means that this Rauchzi file is just a pile of waste paper. "

"But you didn't finish it, basically just glanced at it. "Even if he knew that this guy was very human, Loren still couldn't believe it: "A four-year record-I remember you didn't learn mathematics much, right?" ! "

"Yes, I haven't learned much, but we don't need to do profound calculation problems today, just add, subtract, multiply and divide. "

Twitched nose, Isaac spread it out as it should be: "even more how, do these so-called files really use any profound mathematical knowledge?" "

"...Well, let me put it another way. "The black hair wizard who resisted the desire to complain, gritted his teeth and opened the mouth and said: "It's in these files-I mean the waste paper. What did you find?" "

"This ledger also has files, almost all of which are running accounts. How much is entered, how much is spent, and at most the results, it seems that there is no problem at first glance. "Isaac eyebrows raised:

"I don't really understand this thing about the account book, but the result alone should be very one-sided, right? "

"But? "Loren, holding his shoulders, leaned back on the back of the chair, waiting for the other party's performance.

"But even so, there is still a lot to do. "Isaac shrugged his shoulders indifferently, pretending to be plain: "A place like their big workshops will have so-called'predetermined indicators' and'result indicators'-it's not about forging as many iron ingots as you buy. Take long sword, only fools can do this! "

"But if the'predetermined index' is set very high, the'result index' is very low, and the balance between the two can be maintained through inventory, so it seems that everything is normal ? "

"It's like borrowing money from ten people at the same time, and then repaying each other, using the method of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall to maintain the status quo? "

"It's more powerful than that, maybe it can make money punish!" "Pointed to the pile of files behind him: "The advantage of running accounts is that as long as the results are guaranteed, even if there is a discrepancy between the account book and the actual data, most people can't see it. "

"Then how do you see it?" "The black hair wizard continued to tease Isaac with a curiously asked face.

"It’s actually very simple. If you often come into contact with mysticism, something that cannot be explained by common sense, then those who don’t Things that are too right will look particularly eye-catching. "

Shrugging my shoulders, Isaac slowly lifts the head: "So even if I hold it in my hand, I know that these files are not right-like I never ask, I know you and Ain are both. Personally, something has been hiding from me, even though I don't know what it is. "

For an instant, the "curiosity" on Loren's face was completely frozen.

"I originally wanted to take the opportunity of you to ask me for help and let you tell me what it was. But I found that I didn’t seem to be very interested. Although the fact that there is a little secret between you two really makes me awkward, but... Does this mean that you owe me a favor? "

"Uh..." The black hair wizard's cheek twitched slightly: "What do you want?" "

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I did read a lot of information about Duanjieshan before coming. So if there is an opportunity to go to Niederhogg, the capital of the giant dragon kingdom...I mean if it really exists..."

"That's it! "

Not thinking about it, Loren agreed directly: "As long as there is a chance to leave Duanjieshan and head north, no matter what it is for, I guarantee that we will pass there once-and only the two of us! "

"Only us? Don't even bring...Ain? "

"No, this is our secret, let's keep it...Ain! "

"I knew that we are the couple who have the best relationship!" "

Isaac smiled like a child: "This is a carnival of spell studies and mysticism. Alchemists with low intelligence have nowhere to go!" "

I just want to make sure that I didn't make a wrong decision... The black hair wizard whispered in my heart still has a stiff, formulaic smile on his face.

............ ......

"So, the dean of the melting pot Academy, moved his hands and feet on the file and made false accounts? "

The smile on Brandon's face is very wonderful. He was still awake a moment ago, but now it is brilliant like the noon sun: "I can't wait to see what the Imperial Brother is. Explained-can you find evidence? "

"Data can be faked, words can be deceived, but fabricated things will not appear out of thin air, nor will they suddenly disappear. "

Slightly nodded, Loren turned his gaze to Furnace Town at midnight outside the window: "I counted when I entered the town. There are ten large warehouses in Furnace Town, so..."

"There is definitely one, and put evidence of his fraudulent accounts! "
