Cheese didn''t make hill wait long. The mage''s way of thinking was always short but focused. The cheese did not show any surprise when he noticed hill in the room. "It''s really about time. But is it true that Ms. Amelia sent you to invite me? The shadow of the wizard can''t be chained. "
"Jason is the product of Ms. Green''s call. I think she must have taught Ms. Amelia the method of control, so you don''t have to worry about it." Hill stood up and saluted the cheese. For the sake of protecting the witch, she said after hearing the worry in the mage''s words, "if you don''t have any other arrangements, we''d better go back as soon as possible. Miss emia must have wanted to see her daughter earlier
To this, cheese just nodded. When he got up, he turned to look at Roland. Although he didn''t speak, the color of inquiry in his eyes was enough to convey the meaning. "I''m not going. I can''t help you with magic creatures like that." The old man just waved his hand and puffed out a smoke ring. "By the way, take your diary with you. Maybe Jason will know something or not."
There was still some distance from the port area to the residential area where the witch''s house was located. Fortunately, Dr. Hill didn''t come here on foot. The carriage parked outside the small building made it unnecessary for them to spend more time on the road. The woman doctor and cheese got into the cabin of the carriage, and hill signaled to the driver that a man in the same mask was ready to drive. After the clear whips broke through the air, the wheels began to babble.
"Doctor, I have something to ask you." In the cabin, cheese suddenly said. "How much do you know about Marcus Taylor Riel?"
Hill pondered for a moment, as if not expecting the wizard to ask such questions. As the leader of Dementors, she is a famous private doctor of Wangdu and nobles of the whole kingdom. After all, no one can get sick, isn''t she? Especially as aristocrats, it''s better not to go to the doctors for some diseases. The best choice for them is a private doctor like hill, who is not well-known and keeps his mouth shut.
"Marcus Taylor Riel, the Earl of the Kingdom, is the current Minister of finance. He should be around 25 this year and has no bad habits." The Dementor said without reservation the information about Marcus in his head to the chief secretary, "a rare business genius, he became assistant to the finance minister at the age of 22. One year later, he left office because of physical reasons. His majesty personally appointed this person to replace the position of finance minister. Marcus showed a trend of polarization in the aristocracy''s comments, and he had a high reputation among the older aristocrats. Although it was said that he had been in a standoff with many great nobles, there was no family or individual in the kingdom against him. On the other hand, he is famous among young aristocrats and is not liked by others. According to the information I have collected, it should be related to his appearance and his basic absence from social activities. Of course, the possibility of jealousy can not be ruled out. But these young people are not the backbone of the Kingdom, they can''t really influence Marcus. "
"Oh? That''s interesting. " Cheese tapped his forefinger on his forehead. He would ask about Marcus. In fact, it was only on the spur of the moment. To be honest, although he had an unpleasant experience with the fat man in the castle, the mage did not hate each other because of such a small matter. "What about the Taylor Riel family he belongs to? What''s the status of Cang lion
"Before Marcus was born with his talent, the Taylor Riel family was just a declining nobility, and their fixed assets had long been exhausted by extravagance. In fact, had it not been for Marcus'' talent, his Majesty would have taken back the title of nobility in that family. Even so, the Taylor Riel family is a huge burden to Marcus. You should note that the title of the chancellor of the Exchequer is count honorary, which means that he has no land and assets that are commensurate with his title as the count of Montenegrin. "
"Sounds like this fat man is miserable? Obviously, he has enough talent, but he is dragged down by his family and can''t get the corresponding status. " The mage looked at the street outside the carriage and said casually. As a caster outside the secular world, cheese can not identify with the kinship of the family, but this does not prevent him from understanding that this is the foundation of the secular operation.
"You can say that, but it''s also good." Hill looked ahead, and there was no disgust or emotion in her voice for the count.
"For example?"
"The absence of fiefs and assets means that there are no worries and risks. As Minister of finance of the Kingdom, Marcus may have less assets than ordinary rich businessmen. In this case, he will not have interest disputes with other people, and the possibility of favoritism is very small. And that''s what the king wants to see, a minister of finance who is absolutely loyal and completely concerned about the kingdom. This is the advantage of Marcus, and His Majesty''s trust in him is almost absolute unless evidence of his bribery is sent to the king. "
"And in this state, even if Marcus is accused of bribery, it is very easy to prove his innocence. It may be difficult to find out the source of a rich man''s assets, but a beggar can tell where he picked up every piece of cloth Cheese followed Hill''s words, and he understood that Marcus was firmly in the king''s mind as long as he was not stupid enough to take bribes. In this way, at least in the political arena of the Kingdom, this man is valuable.The conversation about Marcus was interrupted by the stop of the carriage. The door of the witch''s house had appeared outside the carriage. The coachman jumped out of the driver''s seat and opened the door for the two passengers briskly. The gesture was courteous and sophisticated, which made people wonder whether he was making a living on it. "There''s nothing to do with you. Wait at home first. I''ll call you if you need to Said the woman doctor, as she passed by her kindred in her arms. The coachman nodded, closed the door and stepped back to the original position, shaking the reins in his hand, so that the carriage quickly disappeared in the corner of the lane.
"You''re very close to him, mate?" Cheese laughed, and he noticed that there seemed to be a difference in the relationship between hill and the coachman. Dementors do not strictly have gender, but long-term survival in the human world will also make them infected with human habits. Many Dementors will choose a gender for themselves when they are adults, which will help them better integrate into the crowd.
"No, he is my son." The woman doctor said, the hands of a few gestures to untie the witch door steps on the defense magic. This magic caused a lot of trouble when cheese made his first visit. Of course, the correct method of "knocking on the door" was taught to the mage when he made a covenant with the witches.
Following hill, the two quickly walked through the magic hallway to a room with a heavy iron door. "Madame Amelia is in it. I''ll go and set up Madame clandy first." With that, the woman doctor left cheese and left.
The mage shrugged, reached out and pushed open the iron door. What''s interesting is that the cheese standing outside the iron gate can''t see the inside of the door in any case, only a piece of darkness. This simple magic can effectively make ordinary people who are afraid of the unknown to walk away, but the mage can''t see the significance of it being set up here. Since you can''t think of the reason, you might as well go in and ask the person who released the magic. Cheese went in without hesitation.
The process of walking into the room is like passing through a black curtain without substance. When the visitor passes through the darkness of the door, the situation in the room will be displayed in front of him normally. And cheese, too, understood why Emilia did it. Because this room is too bright.
The intense light from the room boundary 12 two meters high crystal prism, with the room floor inlaid with the crystal plate and dome light source, this room let the mage feel that there is no room for hiding, everything in the light to reveal their original appearance. The only thing that remains dark here is the black human figure in the middle of the room, bound by a huge crystal cross.
"Jason, we met again."
