Chapter 26

"Mr. Connor, please come in. The master told you to wait for him in his study!" Without waiting for Connor to open his mouth, the old man dressed as a housekeeper was the first to say:

"Master?" Connor was stunned. In his memory, Reyes, his mentor, was always alone. He lived here alone. When did another housekeeper come out?

As if seeing Connor's question, the old housekeeper smiles and explains, "my name is Victor. I'm the housekeeper of the professor. I just came here from the professor's hometown a few days ago. Mr. Connor can call me old victor!"

"I see. Thank you, housekeeper victor!" Connor nodded his thanks politely and went to Reyes' study on the second floor of the villa.

Conor is no stranger to Reyes' study. In his memory, Reyes often guides his study.

The door of the study was opened, and standing on the gorgeous and exquisite carpet, Connor smelled a faint smell of strange fragrance, and his eyes flashed a touch of envy. Connor focused on the three large wooden bookshelves and desks in the room.

The wood surface of the desk and bookshelf has a very beautiful golden texture similar to tiger spot, which is a precious and unusual wood. Tiger spot wood is a unique symbol and characteristic. It was not planted in the Kaman empire. Only in the new world, there was a small amount of planting in the imperial colonies. Except for a small amount of planting, this kind of tiger spot wood took a whole hundred years to grow, It can be made into furniture.

In addition to its beautiful texture and pleasing to the eye, the price of tiger spot wood is very high. It also emits a kind of unique fragrance. If people smell this fragrance, it will have the effect of rest, nourishing the spirit and calming the restlessness.

In the current market of Rouen, the price of a cubic meter of tiger spot wood is only over 500 gold pounds. In this case, there is still no market for tiger spot wood. As soon as the tiger spot wood enters the market, it will be bought in less than an hour. The three large bookshelves and desks in Professor Reyes's room cost at least 5000 pounds, according to Connor's estimate·······

Sitting on the sofa in the study and doing nothing, Connor browses the furnishings in the room at will. On the bookshelves, there are a few yellow books shining under the orange light of the gas lamp in the study, Let the whole room feel very much, and on the desk, there is a bottle of red wine with no label and a Book of open notes.

Connor looked at the note with great interest. In his impression, his tutor, Professor Reyes, seemed to have a habit of taking notes.

The paper of the notes is rough and mixed with some small black spots. At first glance, it's cheap and inferior paper. Seeing this, Connor is more and more interested in the open notes. Professor Reyes is a person who attaches great importance to the quality of life. The paper he uses is smooth and white, a special high-grade paper of one penny, like this kind of inferior paper, Professor Reyes will never use it!

Obviously, all kinds of clues indicate that the note on Professor Reyes' desk is not his own.

So whose note will it be?

Connor's eyes flashed a look of hesitation. His heart was struggling. Do you want to stand up from the sofa and look at the contents of the note! Maybe that note will have its own background as a mysterious and powerful tutor.

Glancing at the closed door, Connor made a choice, quickly got up and approached the desk.

The words on the notes can be seen to be the common Kaman language of the Kaman Empire, but the handwriting is very scribbled. The writing of the words can be described as ugly at one time, which further confirms Connor's judgment. Professor Reyes, who holds a doctorate degree from renver University, a famous Imperial University, will never write such words.

"On July 13th, sir montbarton had a tryst with his lover EVA at the leganese Hotel, 119 Narcissus street."

"On September 21, Mrs. annek, the wife of wilbeca, a wealthy businessman, secretly lent her brother 500 pounds to pay off her gambling debts."

"On November 8, Mr. neres, the Commissioner of revenue of the city government, accepted that Garley, a timber merchant, bribed 50 pounds to help him evade taxes."

·············

·············

"It's all someone else's business." Barely able to read the notes clearly, Connor exclaimed to himself:

Looking at the scribbled handwriting on his notes, Connor felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but his classmates, friends, family... And so on didn't have such bad handwriting.

"Balwade!" The name of a dead man suddenly appeared in Connor's mind!

"Yes, that's balwade's handwriting!" Realizing this, Connor's face sank in an instant. Now the handwriting of the note lying on Professor Reyes's desk is exactly the same as that of the investigation report on Rebecca given by balwade! For this, Connor does not need to use the auxiliary stamen to confirm!"Why did balwade's notes appear on Reyes' desk? Is there anything of his own in balwade's notes

These two questions were like two heavy mountains, which made Connor feel a little out of breath. But without waiting for Connor to think about them, there was a sound of walking outside the study.

"Kick! Kick! Kick! ······ "

Hearing the footsteps, Connor quickly backed back to the sofa without thinking.

"Da!"

With a dull sound, the door of the study was opened, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing came in.

"Teacher!" Although full of doubts, but see Professor Reyes, Connor can only pretend that nothing happened, respectfully stand up and say hello.

Looking at Connor, Reyes showed a meaningful smile on his face. He patted Connor on the shoulder and said, "you've given me a surprise in just a few days. You really deserve to be my most valued student!"

"Surprise? What's the surprise? " Although I don't know what Reyes said about the surprise he gave him, Connor pretended to be very grateful and said respectfully: "it's Connor's honor to get your tutor's attention!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Reyes went back to the back of his desk. He pondered for a moment, closed the open notes on the desk, and then handed them to Connor with a smile. "This thing will be Connor's gift for you to become a junior apprentice and formally enter the wizard world?"
