Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rent and Buy

As the sword was drawn, a greedy aura of food emanated from the jagged blade that leaked out.

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, every time he pulled out the long sword on his waist, this vicious long sword in its form would always be not so obedient.

Although the long sword made of demonic materials is very powerful, it is still tainted with a trace of demonic effects.

However, although this aura is a bit tricky, it is just a matter of a little more trouble for Zhao Xi, but it is a little troublesome for other ordinary people.

Because this breath is still very fatal to ordinary people, especially when encountering some timid humans, it is estimated that they can scare the other party into incontinence.

Zhao Xi gently released his spirit and directly suppressed the restless long sword.

Then the huge square was filled with moving figures and wielding black sword shadows.

For a while, the sword wind howled, and the fierce sword wind blew so that people couldn't open their eyes.

I don't know how long it took, the fierce-looking blade was put into the scabbard by Zhao Xi.

Then the young knight in the field wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spat out a trace of turbid air from his mouth.

After performing several sets of basic swordsmanship, Zhao Xi felt refreshed, and even felt that the fatigue of yesterday's day had disappeared with the flow of sweat.

As he was about to return to his original room, there was a rush of footsteps outside the square.

"Mr. Donn, Mr. Donn, are you here, Mr. Donn?"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps was a shout that was very unfamiliar to Zhao Xi, but there was no malice in this shout.

"I'm here!" Zhao Xi responded.

After hearing Zhao Xi's voice, this hurried footstep approached Zhao Xi's position directly.

"I've found you, Mr. Donn!"

A male servant ran over from a distant path, and when he saw Zhao Xi, his eyes were full of joy.

"The host let us know that breakfast was ready and the two ladies had arrived. The manservant said breathlessly.

"Oh?" Zhao Xi looked up at the sky and said, "It's already this time." ”

"Yes!" the manservant nodded and said, "Please come with me." ”

"Thank you so much!" Zhao Xi said with a smile at the manservant.

......

After everyone had finished eating, the servants around them began to clean up the utensils on the table again.

Today's breakfast is still the same sumptuous, which makes everyone eat so much, and Buffy on the side can't help but eat more after seeing everyone eating so happily.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Xi also opened his mouth to ask about serious matters: "Mr. Buffy, I want to ask you something." ”

"Oh?" Buffy adjusted his sitting posture and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you, but if you speak first, you can say it first." ”

"I want to ask, is there a suitable manor for rent or sale around?" Zhao Xi asked.

"Manor..."Buffy thought for a moment and said, "Ford, do you have any news about the nearby manor?"

"News from the manor?" said the old butler Ford, after a moment's consideration, "It would be better to ask the house sales office directly." ”

"House sales?"

Zhao Xi muttered these words for a while, and suddenly felt that he was back in the modern era, and the modern atmosphere of this name was very obvious.

"Yes. Ford nodded at Zhao Xi and said, "This is a new shop set up by Archduke Xavier, but this kind of shop is controlled by the principality behind it, and the business it is engaged in is also related to the sale or rental of land or houses in the principality." ”

"I remembered. Buffy rubbed his temples and said, "It's like a house auction house, right?"

"Your memory is as good as ever, my master. Ford said with a bow to Buffy.

"Alright, hurry up and give our guests a good introduction to that place. Buffy said with some tears and laughter.

"As you wish. Wood straightened up and said, "This house sale office is not only for sale of the country, but also for private people to sell on it, and the speed of the transaction is always much faster than the speed of word of mouth." ”

"Similar to an intermediary company?" Zhao Xi made a slight comparison in his heart.

"So we also take some of the cut after the deal, right?" said Cornelia's own opinion.

"Of course. Ford turned his head to the clergymaiden and said, "After all, people have provided you with guests, and you should receive some small payment." ”

"And what if you get scammed?" Dorothy asked, holding up her hand.

"You don't have to worry about that, my guest. Ford paused and said, "These goods are just through the principality, unless he wants to fight against an entire principality, or no one will think so." ”

"Is this like this?" Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said, "Can you let someone show us the way?"

"Of course there's nothing wrong with such trifles. Buffy waved his hand and said, "But I still really want you to stay in my manor for a few more days." ”

"I'm definitely going to bother you for a few days lately, as long as you don't annoy us. Zhao Xi said half-jokingly.

"How so? hahahahaha!" Buffy smiled happily.

......

Zhao Xi and the three of them, led by a manservant, were walking on the bustling streets of Shodrea.

Compared to the streets that have just entered the city, the streets in the city are more planned.

Unlike at the beginning, when all the shops were crowded together, almost all the shops on the street where Zhao Xi is now sell all kinds of daily necessities.

Occasionally, I would see one or two ready-to-wear stores, but I couldn't see the inside clearly, so Zhao Xi decided to take her second daughter here to see after renting the house.

Although he himself doesn't pay much attention to appearance, girls should still have a few good-looking clothes, after all, how can a girl not love beauty?

But when he thought of this, Zhao Xi's afterglow swept to Cornelia who had not spoken all this time.

"Maybe there are a few girls who don't love beauty?"

Zhao Xi thought silently in his heart, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he might be poisoned?

However, the clergy girl really didn't show her intention to love beauty, maybe Zhao Xi didn't find out?

The trio soon arrived at the destination of their trip.

When Zhao Xi came, he also told the second daughter why he wanted to buy the manor, and the two girls had no objections, and directly felt that the boys in the team would come out to make a decision.

This point still touched Zhao Xi, you must know that her money is also part of the second daughter, but the second daughter never asked where the money went, it was completely out of trust in herself, if Zhao Xi secretly spent the money on these two girls, she might not be aware of it.

But Zhao Xi won't be that kind of person, he will make it clear to the second daughter in advance for every consumption, so as to save any misunderstandings in the future.

Having said that, the house sales office in front of me didn't look so glorious, and it was a bit shabby in comparison.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house, without the momentum of the principality behind it.

If it weren't for the plaque with the words "House Sales Office" written on it, Zhao Xi and others would have thought that they had come to the wrong place.

However, the valet who showed them the way walked in naturally, as if he was a regular visitor.

"Hello guest, how can I help you?"

When everyone walked into the room, the old clerk behind the counter poked his head out and asked Zhao Xi and the others.

The clerk saw that these people were dressed a little strangely, a young man with a male servant leading a few linen clothes, how to look at this scene.

However, with a vicious eye, he could see at a glance that the long sword on the waist of the young man led by him was very extraordinary.

He guessed at once that these young people had extraordinary backgrounds, and they might even be the children of nobles, but they wore some linen clothes to hide their identities.

"May I ask, are there any small estates for rent or sale?" Zhao Xi asked with a clear throat.

"Small estate?"

After the old clerk heard Zhao Xi's words, his eyes shone inexplicably, as if he had seen a rich man.

"Yes, yes, we don't have small estates here, we also have large estates, and even castles in remote areas, if you want, we can sell them. ”

The old clerk enthusiastically explained to everyone, but Zhao Xi felt that the clerk's focus was definitely on the castle.

"Okay, okay, we just want to see the small estates, and the prices are modest. Zhao Xi waved his hand and said.

"That's right..."

When the old clerk heard that Zhao Xi only needed a small manor that was cheaper, his attitude instantly lost his enthusiasm just now.

"The words of the small estate..."

The old clerk began to look through the ledger-like things on the table, and his movements were very careful.

After a while, the old clerk raised his head, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and said, "There are three small estates that meet your conditions. ”

He raised the "ledger" in his hand, flipped through it and slowly explained to everyone: "Two manor districts are located in the middle of the city, and one is located outside the city. ”

Zhao Xi looked at the album in the hand of the old clerk opposite, and briefly understood the specific appearance of several manors.

This kind of atlas only briefly outlines the specific appearance of the manor, and some details are written below, and the specific amount is not the same.

One of the estates is for sale and not for rent, and the other two are for rent and purchase.

Both estates in the city are located in the same area as Buffy's estate.

As for the manor outside the city, it is a bit far away, and if you want to enter the city, you need to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

If you choose to walk, it will take a long time.

In fact, if it was a simple residence, Zhao Xi would definitely choose to live outside the city, but the main purpose of coming to the city was to help Dorothy inquire about her mother's whereabouts, which was not easy to travel.

However, two estates in the city were worth a lot, one was rented for 8,000 gold a year, and the other was 7,300 gold a year.

When Zhao Xi saw this price, he almost bit his tongue in fright, he used to think that he was very rich, but now he can't even afford to buy a house.
