Rheagar took a sip of coffee and frowned.
“He wants compensation from the village chief?”
Zeller still shook his head.
“No, he gave the village chief two choices. First, he wanted to rip off the village chief’s pants in front of everyone to see if he had similar symptoms. Second, if the village chief did not agree to the first condition, then he would have to sleep with the village chief’s women again and take at least one of them away.” When Matthew heard this, he was shocked by the tax officer’s train of thought.
Rheagar was also a little confused.
” After that, I went to find Little Parton. He said that since he had been infected witn tne sexually transmittea disease, ne nugnt as well nave some more run. Plus, after he returned to our town, he couldn’t infect others, so he had to take away one of the village chief’s women.”
This was probably Zeller’s first time dealing with something like this. He looked very speechless.
Of course, the village chief disagreed. He claimed that he and his women were very clean. The two sides had a dispute, and the dispute quickly escalated into a conflict. You know what happened after that. Little Patton was driven back to Rolling Stone Town with only half of the tax money. The other half was held in the village chief’s hands.
“However, the village chief didn’t seem to have the intention to resist the tax. As soon as I arrived at Riverside Village, he handed over the remaining tax and pulled me into the house to take off his pants.”
Zeller couldn’t help but cough.
“I saw it with my own eyes. The village chief and his women did not have a sexually transmitted disease.”
Rheagar tapped his five fingers on the desk.
“So, was Little Patton lying?”
Zeller shook his head.
“Not necessarily. We all know Little Patton’s character. Although he’s lecherous, he’s always reliable.
“Ms. Lizzie is very good at teaching her sons. Little Patton, like his brother Blake, had never made a mistake in his position in the past few years.
“This time, he might have been stimulated by the sexually transmitted disease, which was why his behaviour became so eccentric after the incident. “I’ve checked his body, and it’s indeed a very serious scabies. “According to Little Patton, it only appeared after that night.
“This whole thing was unbelievable.
“I couldn’t even get rid of all the symptoms with the Basic Dispelling Scroll. I suspect that someone is behind this.
“However, after staying in Riverside Village for a few days, I didn’t get any additional clues, so I came back first.” Rheagar nodded with a heavy expression.
“Could it have something to do with Little Balmer?”
Little Balmer was the Evil Art Master who was suspected of kidnapping Sif and killing his own father.
After he escaped from Rolling Stone Town, he never appeared again.
Zeller said uncertainly,
” I can’t rule out this suspicion, but my divination didn’t show any relevant traces. The other party is very cunning. There’s a high chance that he just tested me and ran away. I was worried that this would drain my energy, so I didn’t continue to investigate. I arranged for little Patton to rest at home for a while and eat some herbs. I’ll visit him again after a while.”
Rheagar glanced at Matthew. “Spell consultant, what do you think?” Matthew said seriously,
“I think Zeller handled it very well.” Rheagar couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“Is there anything else?” he asked Zele.
Zeller took out a piece of papyrus and placed it in front of Rheagar.
“This is the latest official letter from Jade Court. They mentioned in the letter that a team of Shadow Leopards is on their way.”
Matthew raised his hand and asked, “Haven’t I heard this before?”
Zeller smiled and said,
“Yes, before you left for the south, Jade Court sent a team of shadow leopards to receive our prisoners.
“Unfortunately, the team of shadow leopards was attacked by a green dragon not long after they left Jade Court. In the end, they were completely annihilated.
“Jade Court spent a lot of time investigating the matter.
“In the end, he sent a letter to us saying that he had sent a second team to receive the criminals from the Silver Frost Brotherhood.”
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
“So those arsonists have been freeloading in prison for more than a month?” Rheagar was angry when he heard this. He slammed the table hard.
“Tell Jade Court that they need to pay us more. If they don’t act quickly, I’ll sell these people to the Necromancers in Baiyan City. They hate arsonists too!”
Zeller pouted his lips.
Matthew had an idea.
“Are these criminals locked up in prison every day doing nothing?”
Rheagar asked,
“What else do you expect them to do?” Matthew suggested expectantly,
“Why not let them work?
“Arsonists are very good at making blazing glue and fiery dragon oil. Find a supervisor and give them the materials to work for us.
“They couldn’t just eat and drink for free, right?
“If you think it’s inappropriate to let the arsonists come into contact with these dangerous items, why don’t you let them repair the cemetery for me? “I’ll have the zombies keep an eye on them. Nothing will go wrong.”
Rheagar and Zele looked at each other.
The former muttered,
“What you said does make sense.” The latter sighed and said,
“Doing so can indeed recoup the cost.”
Then, the two of them said at the same time,
“As expected of a necromancer!”
One last thing. According to the report of the Council of Five, the haunting of the South Trade Station is getting more and more serious. Howard and several owners of the craft workshops have put pressure on them many times.
“The Council of Five had looked for several exorcist masters in the town, but they could not solve the problem..”
