Rheagar took a sip of coffee and frowned.
âHe wants compensation from the village chief?â
Zeller still shook his head.
âNo, he gave the village chief two choices. First, he wanted to rip off the village chiefâs 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 chiefâs women again and take at least one of them away.â When Matthew heard this, he was shocked by the tax officerâs train of thought.
Rheagar was also a little confused.
â 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 couldnât infect others, so he had to take away one of the village chiefâs women.â
This was probably Zellerâs 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 chiefâs hands.
âHowever, the village chief didnât 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.â
Zeller couldnât help but cough.
âI saw it with my own eyes. The village chief and his women did not have a sexually transmitted disease.â
Rheagar tapped his five fingers on the desk.
âSo, was Little Patton lying?â
Zeller shook his head.
âNot necessarily. We all know Little Pattonâs character. Although heâs lecherous, heâs always reliable.
âMs. 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.
âThis time, he might have been stimulated by the sexually transmitted disease, which was why his behaviour became so eccentric after the incident. âIâve checked his body, and itâs indeed a very serious scabies. âAccording to Little Patton, it only appeared after that night.
âThis whole thing was unbelievable.
âI couldnât even get rid of all the symptoms with the Basic Dispelling Scroll. I suspect that someone is behind this.
âHowever, after staying in Riverside Village for a few days, I didnât get any additional clues, so I came back first.â Rheagar nodded with a heavy expression.
âCould it have something to do with Little Balmer?â
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,
â I canât rule out this suspicion, but my divination didnât show any relevant traces. The other party is very cunning. Thereâs a high chance that he just tested me and ran away. I was worried that this would drain my energy, so I didnât continue to investigate. I arranged for little Patton to rest at home for a while and eat some herbs. Iâll visit him again after a while.â
Rheagar glanced at Matthew. âSpell consultant, what do you think?â Matthew said seriously,
âI think Zeller handled it very well.â Rheagar couldnât help but roll his eyes.
âIs there anything else?â he asked Zele.
Zeller took out a piece of papyrus and placed it in front of Rheagar.
âThis is the latest official letter from Jade Court. They mentioned in the letter that a team of Shadow Leopards is on their way.â
Matthew raised his hand and asked, âHavenât I heard this before?â
Zeller smiled and said,
âYes, before you left for the south, Jade Court sent a team of shadow leopards to receive our prisoners.
âUnfortunately, 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.
âJade Court spent a lot of time investigating the matter.
âIn 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.â
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
âSo those arsonists have been freeloading in prison for more than a month?â Rheagar was angry when he heard this. He slammed the table hard.
âTell Jade Court that they need to pay us more. If they donât act quickly, Iâll sell these people to the Necromancers in Baiyan City. They hate arsonists too!â
Zeller pouted his lips.
Matthew had an idea.
âAre these criminals locked up in prison every day doing nothing?â
Rheagar asked,
âWhat else do you expect them to do?â Matthew suggested expectantly,
âWhy not let them work?
âArsonists are very good at making blazing glue and fiery dragon oil. Find a supervisor and give them the materials to work for us.
âThey couldnât just eat and drink for free, right?
âIf you think itâs inappropriate to let the arsonists come into contact with these dangerous items, why donât you let them repair the cemetery for me? âIâll have the zombies keep an eye on them. Nothing will go wrong.â
Rheagar and Zele looked at each other.
The former muttered,
âWhat you said does make sense.â The latter sighed and said,
âDoing so can indeed recoup the cost.â
Then, the two of them said at the same time,
âAs expected of a necromancer!â
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.
âThe Council of Five had looked for several exorcist masters in the town, but they could not solve the problem..â
