The God's birthday is approaching, and as an annual grand festival, the city of Signo has begun to dress up early.

The same goes for the Inspection Office.

Kaili twisted his fat body and hung the statue above the window with some effort, saying:

"This time the higher-ups were very generous. To celebrate the God's birthday, they gave us twice as much funding as last year."

“Even the outer gate needs to be renovated.”

The weather was getting colder, so Carl put on a cashmere robe today and lay in a reclining chair reading a book.

Hearing this, he nodded casually:

"Really? It seems that the benefits we will receive will be good."

"yes."

Kaili got down from the chair, panting and looking sideways, his eyes fell on the book in Carl's hand: "Anatomy, are you planning to change your career and become a doctor?"

"Learning never ends!" Carl smiled:

"I heard that there is a doctor named Robert in the city who makes a fortune every day with his medical skills. Who wouldn't envy him?"

"Robert?" Carey shook his head: "Never heard of it."

Although he was a descendant of the nobility, his living standard was not high and the people he came into contact with were often not wealthy either.

I haven't heard of it, it's normal.

"Speaking of which..."

Kaili moved the chairs and placed the decorations: "Are you not coming to help?"

"You can do this by yourself. It's enough to exercise your body and lose weight." Karl shook his head: "I have something important to do."

Saying,

He picked up the hot red wine beside him, took a sip, and looked very satisfied.

He was indeed busy with work. If he wanted to analyze the spell model on the red-haired man's broken arm, he needed knowledge of anatomy.

"never mind."

Kaili shook his head speechlessly, and said while busying himself:

"Have you heard the news? The vampire that disappeared recently has reappeared."

"Um?"

Carl looked up, puzzled: "What's going on?"

It's been a while since I heard about this incident, ever since the Vatican's Night Watch took over the mummy case.

I thought it had been completely resolved, but it still appeared.

"I heard..." Kaili stopped and said, "Vampires and fire thieves are not in the same group. The Church swept the city to find hidden fire thieves but was unable to find the vampires."

"Aren't they in the same group?" Carl was slightly stunned: "Then at that time..."

"Yes, we are chasing those people. They should have deliberately led people to the base of the fire thieves."

Judging from the situation at the time, the fire thief also responded hastily when faced with the sudden intrusion of the inspector.

Otherwise, how could it be that with a mid-level wizard apprentice in charge of the base, only a few inspectors died?

This shows that the mummy case and the fire thief case are most likely not overlapping, or even that the forces they belong to are hostile to each other, so they would deliberately lead people to the other side's stronghold.

This is not difficult to guess.

The Vatican has only reacted now, which can be said to be very slow. It seems that there are troublemakers everywhere.

"Chief Dina is applying to investigate the mummy case." Kaili said:

"It seems like she's ready to take on this case, but I advise you not to get involved."

"Of course." Carl shrugged.

"It's none of my business."

"By the way, how is the house you found for me? You haven't mentioned it for so long."

"Looking, looking." Kaili replied, "You want a yard, and a quiet place in the city, and the price can't be too expensive."

“It always takes some time.”

Preparing potions and practicing martial arts both require a certain amount of space.

The house that Carl rents now is too small, and it is not convenient to make too much noise, which causes many inconveniences.

Especially because more and more things were purchased for mixing potions, the fragments of the divine domain could no longer be stored, and it was inevitable to find a new place to live.

After a brief pause, Karl said:

"As for the price...you can be more lenient."

"oh!"

Kaili raised his eyebrows: "Why, have you become rich recently?"

Buying a property is not a small amount of money, and considering Carl's salary level, it is difficult to afford it in a short period of time.

"I'm envious." Kaili sighed, "I understand. I'll help you ask more questions recently. But what have you been busy with during this period?"

"No one is seen day after day."

"Something." Karl took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "Off duty!"

…………

Last night, the goddess of ice and snow bestowed her blessing, and the entire city of Signo was covered in silver, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road.

Buddy's Cargo Store.

Old Nick wiped his hands with a handkerchief and sat down opposite:

"Baron, you are here again."

"yes."

Carl put his cane aside and sighed:

"I've almost sold out all my family's belongings. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here again."

As he spoke, he took out a long wooden box from his arms and opened it to reveal an exquisite hairpin inside.

Frequent sales of expensive goods attract too much attention.

Just like now.

Old Nick has regarded Carl as a regular customer. Every time Carl comes, he will take his order personally and make himself familiar to him.

In fact, Carl has been selling goods in various consignment shops under different identities in order to avoid trouble.

"If we're not selling, you can come and buy." Old Nick said with a smile, "The Baron exchanged no less than a hundred gold coins from our store. Now he is a real nobleman."

"The dealership is always welcome."

Carl shook his head.

He did exchange a lot of gold coins, and the total amount added up to far more than a hundred, but the cost was even greater.

wizard,

It's simply a crazy money-burning profession.

Especially pharmacy!

One hundred gold coins may seem like a lot, but it might cost you a lot to buy some herbs and do a few experiments.

“Karl!”

At this time, a passionate female voice sounded:

“You’re here too.”

Carl looked up with surprise in his eyes.

The woman who came into his sight was so gorgeously dressed and heavily made up that he almost couldn't recognize her.

Uncle Gadger's eldest daughter, Carl's cousin, Kingsley.

The last time the two met was at Count Rekton's manor outside the city.

The other party appeared as a gift for the Earl's son's coming-of-age ceremony, but because his identity was too embarrassing at the time, they did not recognize each other.

Next to Kingsley was an old man in his forties or fifties, dressed neatly.

She held the old man's arm in an intimate manner, and looked at Karl, or the hairpin in front of Karl, with surprise.

His eyes almost sparkled as he looked at the hairpin: "What a coincidence."

"yes."

Karl stood up and nodded, “My cousin is here to shop too, this is…”

Although the two people in front of him acted very close, Karl would not mistake his cousin-in-law.

I've heard that the couple have their own fun, but I didn't expect them to have so much fun?

"My friend, Crane." Kingsley introduced with a natural look on his face: "Crane, he is the cousin I mentioned to you, a distinguished baron, Baron Carl."

"oh!"

The old man, Crane, originally had an indifferent expression on his face, but when he heard that Karl was actually a baron, his expression changed: "So it's Baron Karl."

"Carl," Kingsley interrupted, "Are you selling something?"

"Yes." Carl nodded. "I'm a little short of money lately, so I'm selling some things at home to support myself for a while."

“Tsk!”

Kingsley shook his head: "If you have difficulties in life, go to your uncle, or you can come to me. Is this the hairpin you want to sell?"

Without waiting for Karl to speak, she stepped forward and picked up the hairpin in the box, her eyes full of love.

"It doesn't matter who you sell it to, why not sell it to me?"
