Chapter 141: Mrs. Patty

【Private mission, investigate the cause of death of Felbers, a businessman in the territory, and find out the murderer, with no limit on identity and number of people, generous rewards, face-to-face interviews, no less than 100 gold coins. 】
Private task?
When Xia Duo saw it, he immediately became interested. The 100 gold coins were completely worth his wasting a day to try. If he could find out the cause of death and find the murderer, then the price/performance ratio would be quite high.
After making a decision, Xia Duo immediately came to the long office desk and said to the apprentice on duty: "I want to take Quest 001!" As usual, she checked and verified Xia Duo's identity, then recorded it and forwarded it to the on-duty mage for filing , And then the on-duty mage gave Xia Duo a mission certificate.
I was about to leave, but I heard the mage on duty reminded him, "Just accept it when you see it."
Xia Duo didn't know, so he wanted to ask a few more questions, but the mage waved his hand to drive people away and stopped talking. Xia Duo could only leave first, but he also realized that this matter might not be just a homicide. Fortunately, Xia Duo didn't plan to investigate further, he was to complete the mission indicators of promotion authority as soon as possible, rather than what territory missions he really wanted to do.
It's enough to mix with gold coins.
Because it was a personal task, Chateaute went back and put on the robes he received at the award ceremony last year. Under the decoration of gold and silver threads, Chateau was entrusted to him as a real mage.
Of course, he is now a true mage, not an apprentice, and he changed into this body to facilitate bargaining.
...Savile Town, North District.
Here is a villa with different styles but some commonalities. Chateau is familiar with Savile Town. How could he not see the elf style.
However, except for the ten villas on the northernmost side of the water, the styles and shapes are different, which makes people happy at first glance. The rest are like imitators of the former, and some can't even copy.
Of course, Xia Duo's goal this time was not one of the ten waterfront villas, he was also an imitator, but it was a relatively good copy, but the water diversion channel on the side exposed its plagiarism without any doubt.
Just now Chateau had seen it in those ten villas, but they were built next to the water and could bring in water from the Wolfsburg River to make fountains and pools.
But it is a bit mechanically made here.
This may be the "arty" of another world!
Because Xia Duo's robes are quite gorgeous and exquisite, the decoration of gold and silver threads gleams in the sun and can be seen from far away. Xia Duo also gained a lot of awe on the way.
And he tried his best to keep his face expressionless. Someone leaned forward to salute and greet him. Xia Duo didn't stop, just nodded slightly and made a full gesture.
These ordinary people couldn't see the reality of this robe at all. They only thought it was a certain mage passing by, but never thought it was an apprentice who swaggered through the market.
Although Xia Duo's current status is still an apprentice, he himself has indeed reached the level of an official mage, and he is not afraid of being exposed as a mage, because he really is.
It was at the door of Felbers' Villa, where the two guards were talking in a low voice, frowning.
As soon as Xia Duo arrived, he looked at the two indifferently and said: "I took the task from the mage tower and took me to see the master here."
The mage tower, the mission, and the so-called "magic majesty", the guard at the door heard the voice and immediately saluted, "Master, please come with me."
A guard brought Xia Duo directly to the living room, and the servant brought a hot drink in due course. Xia Duo glanced at the dark liquid in the cup, and did not move.
"My lord, please wait a moment, madam will be here soon."
"Ok."
Xia Duo took out the magic book and flipped through it. Before he could read a few pages, he heard a rush of footsteps. Xia Duo put the book away and read. A young woman was surrounded by four or five male servants and maids. Down, appeared from one side.
The woman looks outstanding and graceful, but her expression is depressed and her brows are frowned, revealing a morbid style. Xia Duo couldn't help but look at it twice, but it was only that.
The force of a mage still has to be maintained.
"This lord, did you receive the mission from the Mage Tower?" The woman seemed a little skeptical, but she was still quite respectful, "I wonder what the lord calls?"
"My name is Chateau, what's your status? What is your relationship with Felbers?"
"Master Chateau, Felbers is mine, mine—" The woman couldn't say the last words, her expression even more depressed.
At this time, a maid next to her spoke for her, "Ms. Patty has been taking care of him since the master’s original wife died, but because the master’s son strongly opposed this matter, this matter was not made public."
Xia Duo nodded and said that he understood. He didn't ask why Felbers' son did not show up. Instead, he talked about remuneration. It is not shameful to talk about money. On the contrary, the wizard likes to talk about money.
"Mrs. Patty, I have very little information from the Mage Tower. I need you to provide more detailed information. In addition, I need to say in advance about the reward."
Regarding the remuneration, Mrs. Patty did not hesitate to offer 100 gold coins as long as the cause of death was discovered, and 500 gold coins to determine the identity of the murderer, and if Chateau could catch the murderer alive, Mrs. Patty was willing to pay 1,000 gold coins.
Even if he caught a corpse, he could get 700 gold coins~EbookFREE.me~ This made Xia Duo very happy, and he wished to agree immediately, but there was some reservedness, but his hesitation made Mrs. Patty think he was right. Dissatisfaction with remuneration.
It actually improved a little bit, and Xia Duo closed it up as soon as he was good. He asked about the details of the case and, of course, asked to check the body.
Mrs. Patty held back her grief and agreed, "My lord, Felbers did not move after the accident. She is still in the study, please follow me."
...
The study of Felbers Villa is on the second floor. Go up the stairs behind the living room. When going upstairs, Mrs. Patty introduced to Chateau how she discovered Felbers' death.
"The morning before yesterday, Felbers and I had tea on the first floor. After that he suddenly said that there was something to be done, so he went back to the study. The servants in the house saw it, but at noon, I asked the servant to tell him to go downstairs. I had a meal, but there was no response. Only then did I realize something was wrong."
Xia Duo was a little puzzled. If there is no obvious sign of death, but if it is suspected to be homicide, then it does not necessarily have to be checked by a mage, and then what the teacher apprentice can find out.
There are too many more professional people, and even ordinary people must know more about autopsy than mage!
"Didn't you find someone to see afterwards?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Patty wiped the corners of her eyes without a trace, and said, "I found a wanderer who specializes in drug making and found nothing. Later I found a few adventurers, but I couldn't find any. Any abnormality only means natural death at the age."
"Death naturally at age?"
Xia Duo just remembered that he only knew that the deceased was a businessman named Felbers, and after seeing Mrs. Betty, he subconsciously had a judgment that Felbers was young. "How old is Felbers?"
"He is 52 years old this year."
