In the afternoon, relying on his superb forgery skills, Yager came to the bank with a duplicate police investigation order and retrieved all the transaction records in the name of Viscount Pound.
Judging from the thickness of the ledger, this viscount was keen on shopping.
In just five years, Pound's bank accounts had piled up into a thick mountain, making it impossible for anyone to start even if they had access to these records.
Fortunately, there are non-human creatures who can help.
In the small room of Hall Bank, the messengers, who were less than half a meter apart, struggled to cooperate with each other, picked up one of the accounts, and handed it to the black-haired young man on the sofa.
Two poor little messengers were pushed too slowly by their companions and rolled around on the ground. After getting up, they hurriedly crawled to pick up the top hats they had dropped.
Behind them, countless little messengers were looking through piles of other accounts.
Yager, who was sitting and waiting, reached out to take the specially selected account and read it carefully.
According to the information previously retained by Mr. Cragg and information from bank records, the new Viscount Pound was originally a sideline of the family. It was not until the two heirs of the main family died suddenly that he accidentally obtained the title of Viscount.
It's a pity that he can't hold up the wall with mud.
After taking over the title, the new Viscount squandered the Pound family's fortune of hundreds of thousands of gold pounds within four years. He was demoted to a baronet by George III and had to sell off all his assets, including his ancestral home.
Despite this, he was still teetering on the edge of complete bankruptcy.
This is why many antiques owned by the Pound family are circulated on the market.
On the bank account book with dense stickers and fonts on hand, what the messengers circled were two inconspicuous items.
"The gilt painted vase was given by the king when he first bestowed the title of knighthood on commoner Lean Pound. The painted pattern above depicts his heroic performance in the 'Oath-Breaking War' that began in 738 of the Fifth Age. In 1347
Backlund sold it at the sixth auction for 3,200 gold pounds."
And a transaction from five years ago: "Silver palace seal with Tudor royal emblem on the head. Sold to Fusac collector in 1344 for 5,100 gold pounds."
These are almost two conflicting descriptions.
Yager's eyes became serious.
If the Pound family obtained the title for the first time in the war of the Fifth Age, and the previous Pound ancestors were all commoners, how could they produce the relics of the Tudor royal family in the Fourth Age?
Only a single relic may be able to explain it, but after the new Viscount took over four years ago, there were at least a dozen Fourth Age antiques sold...
Unless the Pound family was also prominent in the Fourth Age, it would be impossible for them to accumulate so much.
What's more, the 'War of Broken Oaths' was mainly caused by the conflict between the other two major churches of the Righteous God, the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, which in turn caused the conflict between the three empires, Loen, Feysac, and Inti.
conflict between Sri Lanka.
The Pound family who made outstanding contributions in this war and received a title must be extraordinary.
Are they descendants of the Tudor royal family from the Fourth Age?
After thinking for a moment, Yager made a bold assumption.
At the same time, they possess Tudor relics from the Fourth Age, magic potion formulas from the extraordinary path, and a large amount of assets. The royal family is the most qualified.
This can also explain the reason why Pound's former owner kept buying and selling houses in the ledger...
They may be looking for the relics left by the Tudor royal family in Backlund, the land of the former Tudor Empire!
The black-haired young man in the bank reception room closed the account book in his hand with a 'pop' sound.
Now it seems that the two heirs of the Pound family who died suddenly, the house that was found to be abnormal after being resold, and the blond angel who led him there——
Apparently, they've found it.
Yager stood up, took the books from other couriers and stacked them into a pile again, preparing to leave immediately and go to a nearby bookstore to buy a general history of the Fourth Age to supplement his blank historical knowledge.
Then search for possible owners of the relics.
However, just as he was about to take a step, the messengers around him suddenly hugged his feet.
"?"
Yager looked over with confusion.
Each of the little messengers stretched out their withered arms, opened their empty mouths, and uttered strange murmurs...
The babble was translated into a few sentences in Yager's ears.
In short, ask for pay.
Yager's pupils slowly dilated: "?!"
"What did you say? One pound for a dozen? Why didn't you go downstairs and grab it?!"
...
Although the episode was minor, it emptied all the gold pounds that Yager had brought with him today, and forced him to return home first before paying off the wages of the couriers for their extra work.
By the way, he did have the urge to go downstairs and rob a bank, but he was too pressed for time today.
Even the detour left him no room to buy a general history first.
Disgusting money addict!
Finally, at six o'clock as written on the invitation letter, the well-dressed Yager accepted the invitation and came to the manor of Viscount Gray Lint.
Most of the attendees of the salon have already arrived.
The hall was magnificent, but compared to the previous banquet held by Congressman Viscount Manchester, it was still a little inferior. It seemed that there was a gap between the first rich generation and the second rich generation.
The participants were a mix of nobles and commoners, some were well-dressed, and some were more author-like. Most of them gathered in twos and threes around cakes and sofas and chairs to chat.
Following the waiter's footsteps, Yager walked through the crowd and arrived near a study room on the second floor.
His extraordinary hearing captured the whispers of conversation not far away behind the study door.
"Miss Fors, Miss Xio, can you help me take a look at that paralegal in a moment? I suspect that he is also an extraordinary person." The young male voice said, "De Lester, do you remember this name? ?He said he and you know each other."
This is obviously Viscount Graylingt.
"We actually can't tell whether he is an extraordinary person..." Another female voice answered.
Then there was a voice that sounded very surprised: "He said he knew us?! But, we don't remember the name!"
These are the two girls he once threatened.
It seems that the reason why the Viscount suddenly became attentive last time was because he knew the identities of Xio and Forsi, and then believed that they were also extraordinary people.
A Viscount who is curious about the extraordinary? There is a lot of space to take advantage of.
Yager, who was walking towards the study, nodded secretly.
It just so happened that he still lacked historical information related to Viscount Pound and the Fourth Age. He believed that the stock in the Viscount's study would satisfy him.
As for Forsi and Xio.
Tsk.
Yager didn't even bother to think about them both.
He believed that they would make the right choice.
"Knock knock."
The butler knocked on the door: "Your Excellency, Mr. Drester has arrived."
The elegant door of the study room opened, revealing three faces with different expressions. They all looked at the door in unison, but without exception, they were full of suspicion about the person coming.
Forsi and Xio even cast glances that contained anger.
Who is this person who used their name to deceive others?
What exactly is...
yes......
The smiling face of the black-haired young man appeared before his eyes.
Their expressions froze——
Ah ah ah ah ah!
It was the one that had made them tremble thinking about it for weeks, and prayed countless times that it would never appear again, the high-sequence Beyonder who robbed them of a total of forty gold pounds!
Forsi and Xio's faces slowly distorted, and soon they performed a vivid interpretation of Emperor Russell's famous painting "The Scream".
"Introduction, this is Mr. Yager Drester, the assistant to the chief criminal lawyer of the Minsk office." Viscount Gralint smiled and turned to look at the two ladies.
"These two are..."
"Huh? What's your expression?"
