Chapter 194

There are several invitation letters in his hand, and the reason why Ren singled out this one is because he noticed a unique message in the signed name.

"Xia Lanwei Rose..."

He had just heard this name from the Tauren Habu not long ago.

The font on the invitation letter was beautiful, and it was written in the Orion language of the empire. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but there were a few letters in it that showed different handwriting.

From this handwriting, Ren judged that the Orion language was obviously not the first language of the handwriter, and it vaguely had some characteristics of Dragon language.

This kind of small difference is difficult for ordinary people to find, even if they see it, they can't tell it apart.

But in Ren's eyes, it was so obvious that it was hard to see it.

Through the translation dictionary on his mobile phone, combined with the materials in the Silver Star Library, he mastered a part of the dragon language writing, and after a little comparison, he guessed the details of the owner behind this invitation letter.

Fabian replied: "My lord, Mrs. Xia Lanwei is the most famous rich woman in Modu. Her background is very mysterious. No one knows her origin. I only know that Mrs. Xia Lanwei came to Modu more than a hundred years ago. It is said that she was once a student of a legendary wizard, and she is a wizard herself."

"Wizard..." Ren smiled, glancing at the invisible Oxilia out of the corner of his eye.

Why do you like pretending to be a wizard?

He asked curiously: "This Mrs. Xia Lanwei is very rich?"

"Yes, my lord." Fabian's face was full of envy and longing, and he sighed: "Ms. Xia Lanwei is very business-minded. She likes long-term investment. She operates a number of luxury brands under her name, including jewelry, silk, Perfumes and cosmetics, as well as magic items and alchemical ingredients."

"There are more than a dozen Madam Xia Lanwei's shops in the Liushenjiao business district in the territory."

"Ms. Xia Lanwei owns a lot of real estate, shops and rental apartments in Morocco. If you have read the property rights form of the territory, you should have noticed Mrs. Xia Lanwei's name. She also has a lot of properties in Glamorgan Territory."

"In addition, Mrs. Xia Lanwei lends money to nobles and rich people. It is said that more than half of the wealthy people in Morocco are in debt to Mrs. Xia Lanwei."

Ren was surprised to hear that this is a super rich woman!

He read the invitation letter again, and the other party invited him to participate in a trade fair, which was held in an auction hall in Liushenjiao business district, half a month later.

If you are free at that time, you can go to learn more.

"Fabian, reply to this invitation letter for me, and I will attend." Ren ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Fabian took out a small notebook, quickly wrote two strokes on it, and asked, "What should my lord do with other invitations?"

Ren thought for a while, "You should help me to reply and refuse, but you can tell them that there will be a banquet in the castle in the near future, and they will be invited."

"Remember it, my lord."

Ren went all the way back to the study and confessed several things in succession, all of which were related to the management of the territory.

The most important thing at present is the lack of manpower, not extraordinary power, but experienced civil servants. Most of the people who used to be in charge of the territory have left, and the remaining 20 or so people are simply too busy.

Ryan decided to advertise in the newspaper for recruitment, and offered a slightly higher salary.

When the news that he reached an agreement with the nobles of Modu spread, I believe that many people will be moved by the news, and it won't take long to recruit them all.

In the study, it took Ryan more than an hour to finish his official duties.

Fabian stands up and leaves.

Ren suddenly said: "You should record the entry and exit records of ships in the two ports in the past few years, including passenger ships and cargo ships, their ship owners, route targets, dates, don't omit these contents, and move all the records to mine. Come to the study."

Fabian was surprised, and without asking why, he replied, "I'll send someone to the port right away."

"Um."

Ren nodded.

As soon as Fabian exited the study, Oxilia's figure appeared and asked, "Why do you want the ship's entry and exit records?"

"Of course to investigate the nobles of Modu." Ren replied.

Oxilia didn't understand.

Ryan had no choice but to explain: "Today I asked them for a million in taxes, but they couldn't take it out right away. It doesn't make sense."

"And it's not a problem with one or two families, but that the seven of them don't seem to be rich."

"So, I suspect that their funds may have flowed out. Maybe some useful clues can be found from the port's records."

Oxilia suddenly realized, and she admired Ryan's delicate thoughts in her heart.

However, bad news came within half an hour.

Fabian came back to report that all the records of ships entering and leaving the two ports had been destroyed.

"I see, go get busy." Ren shook his head and told Fabian to leave. Oxilia's figure appeared in front of the desk, she sat down, and said in a deep voice: "There is really a problem with their funds, and they must have flowed out of the port, otherwise they would not have deliberately destroyed the records."

Ren nodded, which can be regarded as pointing out the direction of the investigation.

There was a moment of silence in the study, and Oxilia asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Ryan didn't answer.

In fact, he discovered two clues today, one was about the funding problem, and the other was about the Earl of Atlanc, Pirino Eden.

When negotiating at the pier, when I saw Pilino for the first time.

Ren's soul's eye saw through his details. The real earl of the empire has turned to the evil god!

And it's not the native evil god of Ellenus, but the lord of the dead, one of the four great evil gods of the abyss!

Pilino's soul was completely shrouded in the pale and terrifying flame of faith, which was deeply rooted in his soul. It can be seen that he had been devoted to the Lord of the Dead for many years.

Believers of the lord of the dead are not as crazy as the lord of darkness.

It will also not show that after the onset of the bleeding soul curse, it becomes distorted like a "fallen person", which has no effect on the mind, looks completely normal on the outside, and is difficult to be noticed.

This discovery surprised Ren. While negotiating, he secretly observed Pilino.

However, there was nothing unusual about Pirino at all.

The beliefs of the other nobles are normal, they don't seem to know that Pilino is already the minion of the evil god.

Ren couldn't be sure whether Pilino's depravity was related to the plot of the Mordu nobles, and he couldn't tell the matter directly, so he had to investigate secretly by himself.

This question cannot even be told to Oxilia.

Otherwise, the existence of the eye of the soul may be exposed, and no explanation will make sense.

Ren thought for a moment, and said, "Silia, lend me your shape-changing ring again, and can you make me a few invisibility scrolls?"

Aushilia frowned.

She showed some hesitation, "The ring of transfiguration and the scroll of invisibility... What did you find that you want to investigate alone?"

"Sorry, I can't say." Ren's face became serious, "Please believe me."

Oxilia hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will go back to make the scroll now, and I will give it to you tomorrow."

After speaking, she opened any door and walked in.
