"Is this...a bakery?"
Pleasant looked around the room and saw rows of counters lined with rotten lumps and some utensils used for baking.
He carefully observed the shapeless rotten lumps through the glass counter, and the pungent smell hit his face as he got closer.
"It's pretty much the same. Even if it's not a bakery, it's probably a store selling food."
Pleasant walked a few steps further in and casually patted the heavily decayed wooden counter next to it.
"It didn't collapse directly. It's quite strong."
Pleasant opened the drawer on the counter. Inside the drawer were several silver coins worth one pound and a book with a gray cover.
Plisson looked back at Luas and Vitor, who were observing other parts of the room intently, and then quietly put the few silver coins into his pocket.
He held up the thick book in a decent manner and looked at it carefully.
"Is it a diary again? Why do you feel like everyone in the world loves to write diaries except me?"
Pleasant simply flipped through the bowl of heavy books and glanced at them briefly.
But just a few unintentional glances at the contents of the booklet allowed him to read two extremely critical pieces of information.
First, this book is not a simple diary but more of an account book.
Second, this booklet marked the date of accounting. The date was based on the Eagle Calendar. The year he saw was 173.
Year 173 of the Eagle Calendar! This is the ledger from 11 years ago.
Pleasant immediately became interested, and he began to read the contents written in the account book at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, he also saw words one after another that were extremely familiar to him.
"On the 17th of the hot month of the year 173 of the Eagle Calendar, the cargo from Blue Pearl Harbor arrived and delivered 8 Daole 17 Seti."
"On the 18th of the hot month of the year 173 of the Eagle Calendar, Governor Osramon revised the Norton tax law, reducing the grain tax, lowering the commodity tax, and increasing the idle house tax. It may be time to consider selling my idle house in Cattrall. "
........
"On the 22nd of the winter month in the year 173 of the Eagle Calendar, the weather was too cold. Almost no one took to the streets. Even in the prime location of Inriges, it was very deserted. The store only made 5 dollars and 72 setsi in one day. Compared with the past, Almost half missing.”
........
"On the 9th of the Flower Moon in the year 174 of the Eagle Calendar, it was the 70th birthday of the former governor, Earl Duke Lynn. The current governor, Oselemon, held a banquet for him. The whole of Inrigos was bustling with excitement, and even the Flower of the North also celebrated his 70th birthday. Here I am, I really want to see the most beautiful woman in the North, but visiting the store is more important, so I won’t join in the fun."
"My dear, it's so lively. I made a net profit of 35 dollars today. I really hope that Count Ducaline will live a happy birthday every day."
At this point, the contents recorded in the ledger came to an abrupt end.
Pleasant took some time to browse through all the contents of the ledger. The contents recorded in the ledger stopped on the 9th of the Flower Moon in the year 174 of the Eagle Calendar, which was more than 10 years ago.
The 9th of the Flower Moon in the 174th year of the Eagle Calendar happened to be the day that Count Othelemon held a banquet for Count Ducalin, and it was also the day that Inriges ushered in a great disaster.
From what was recorded in the ledger, it was obvious where they were now.
"...Inrigos."
Pleasant's face looked better. After wandering around in danger and unknown for such a long time, he finally reached his destination.
Pleasant grabbed the booklet and thought for a moment.
Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before they discovered that the place they were currently in was Inriges, and there was no need for him to hide this from Vitor and Luas who were traveling with him.
Thinking of this, Pleasant cleared his throat and said loudly to the people around him.
"Guys, I think we've reached our destination."
Plissen's words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people, especially Vitor.
After hearing Pleasant's words, the other party immediately stopped playing with the rotten utensils and turned to look at Pleasant.
"What's the meaning?"
"The Governor can come and take a look at this. It will become clear after reading it." Plisson shook the account book in his hand, and then handed it to Vitor, who walked quickly to his side.
Vitor took the account book and flipped through it briefly.
Like Plissen, Vitor suddenly understood everything after seeing a few familiar place names. His originally frowning brows began to relax, and the expression on his face also changed.
Luas, who was following Vitor, noticed the change in the other person's expression, but unfortunately Luas didn't know many words and couldn't understand what was written in the booklet, so he had to close the book after Vitor had read it. When he came up, he asked: "Mr. Governor, what is written on it?"
"We have arrived at Inriges." Vitor placed the book on the counter and replied.
Seeing that Vitor had understood the contents of the account book, Plisson asked tentatively: "Now that we have reached our destination, what is the next step for the Governor?"
Vitor took a deep breath
