Chapter 164: Attack at Night?
"Little brat?" Ariel was suspicious, and stepped forward to observe, there was almost no dust on the broken stone bricks, and people often came and went here, and there were still very high stones underneath, and it seemed that the other party was still very short.
"This house is in your name," Ayton confirmed again, and although he didn't worry about money, he didn't want to pay an IQ tax here.
"Of course this house is mine, our chamber of commerce operates nearly a quarter of the real estate in the south and east districts, and honesty is the principle of businessmen"
The thin old man was afraid that he would not believe it, so he quickly took out the house vouchers and real estate deeds in his arms, and the bright blue and red seals on the parchment scroll were very eye-catching.
"Okay, give me the key"
Ayton pushed open the dusty door and walked in, there was plenty of light, the space was large, the structure seemed to be a combination of white marble and sandalwood, but there was no furniture at all, and it looked a little imposing except for the dust on the floor.
At this time, Ariel leaned down and looked at the ground, the thin dust was imprinted with faint footprints, and she stepped forward to compare them slightly, and found that the other party was indeed only a child about eleven or twelve years old, with few footprints and roughly the same, there should be only one person.
Many of the windows leaning into the front yard were broken, and there was not a single shard of glass around them, which had been cleaned.
The thin old man smiled embarrassedly: "This is probably also caused by ignorant rat district kids, if someone lives, they will definitely not dare, haha..."
Ayton didn't doubt the real estate agent's words, if anyone dared to make trouble, no matter who it was, he would definitely let the other party know how to write the word regret.
The four of them walked around the whole house, the house was fully equipped, the bathroom and kitchen were available, and they were ventilated.
"Brother, let's leave it here. Ariel was lying on the balcony, enjoying the warm sun, which was much better than the cold cave anyway.
Ayton didn't want to waste any more time, so he immediately chose this house, and the price of the mansion was... Five hundred gold coins, the money that the civilians of the Southern District could not earn in their lifetime, but he only had one hundred gold coins on him now, and he gave the old man fifty coins as a deposit, and he promised him to pay all the remaining four hundred and five by tomorrow night.
The old man who sold the house did not hesitate, and directly gave Ayton all the keys in hand, anyway, he had the house credentials and title deeds in hand, and he was not afraid that they would occupy the house.
After the old man left, Warren, a young man who was weaving baskets, still stood in the corner without saying a word, and the two did not say hello halfway.
"Warren, do you know where to buy furniture?"
"Their chamber of commerce has it, moving, cleaning and other services, only if you have money, they can help you do it, and the price is very fair. Warren said this sentence in a somewhat depressed mood.
Ayton vaguely guessed what he was thinking, just like that fat man Reiner, he was dissatisfied with his fate and origin...
He could spend hundreds of gold coins in a casual manner, and he was still struggling with silver coins one by one.
"Brother, let's live in this big house from now on. Ariel's voice of joy came.
"Of course, you can stay here for as long as you want, but this place needs to be cleaned, my money is estimated to arrive tomorrow night, let's clear out a room to live in tonight." β
"Yay!"
Ayton chuckled and turned to look at Warren, who was still standing in the corner, as he tossed a gleaming gold coin in his hand.
"I'm okay today, it's your reward for today"
Warren happily took the gold coin, hid it in the deepest part of his clothes, bowed down gratefully and said, "Thank you for your generosity, I will be waiting around here tomorrow"
"I've got something to do tomorrow, and you don't need it. β
The young man's delicate face was slightly stunned, and then he smiled bitterly: "Yes..."
"Just tell me your address, and I'll look for you if I don't understand anything in the future. β
He was just about to turn around when Ayton's flat voice came again.
A look of astonishment flashed across Warren's face, and he quickly returned to normal: "My home is where I first met you, and I usually sit at the door and work. β
"Okay, I got it"
At this time, Ariel suddenly ran to Ayton's side: "Brother, come and see, someone has actually lived in the attic!"
"What, take me to see it" Ayton looked startled and followed Ariel up to the second floor.
Warren had the same look of envy in his eyes as the fat Reiner, and turned to leave alone.
......
A dark and cramped attic space with a worn quilt carpet and a candle that is less than half cut off, and a woodcarved statue of the goddess of light in the round window?
"This isβ" Ayton looked at the scene in front of him, not knowing what to say, as the real estate agent seemed intent on making them miss the place.
"Forget it, this is my territory in the future, see who dares to come" Ariel was the first to let go, threatening to throw these things out.
Ayton stretched out his hand to stop her: "Wait a minute, put things here first, wait for the owner here to come and let him take it himself, this is probably some homeless street child who once lived here"
From the marks on the carpet, it was obvious that the two of them were very small people who spent the night here, and maybe they threw away all the other party's property...
"Alright" Ariel obediently retracted her hand, and the two of them went downstairs to clean up the dust, and soon cleaned a clean room.
At the same time, the sky was slightly dark, and there was a rumbling sound from the stomachs of the two, and the two unanimously decided to go to the 'Little Fat Man' restaurant to treat themselves to a full meal, and then went to the hostel to quit the rent.
As for the carriage he had ridden before, Ayton said he didn't want it anymore and gave it directly to the innkeeper and his family, for which they were very grateful.
When he returned to this mansion, night had completely fallen, and the low chirping of insects sounded everywhere on the deserted weed road, and Ayton couldn't help but wonder if there would be mosquito bites on this big night, but there were few mosquitoes in this world, and the nearest garbage dump was more than 2,000 meters.
With the thud of the key flipping, Ayton pushed open the tall iron door.
"Brother, I have a feeling that someone is watching us in the dark" Ariel tilted her head slightly, glancing back out of the corner of her eye.
"Well, I feel it too... But we're far away. β
Ayton locked the door quietly, the figure was very cautious, estimated to be hundreds of meters away from him, fortunately both of them were always keenly alert.
"He should be the 'owner' of this house before, don't worry about him, he will naturally show his stuff after a while. β
"Hmmβ" Ariel swept around the mansion as a warning in holding the two magic lamps she had just bought for thirty gold coins.
The two walked into the mansion, and quickly arranged a bed with the tent blanket in the Fraud Orb, and the curtain was also drawn up after cleaning, but unfortunately there was not enough time, and Ayton would not set up some guard circles, otherwise he would put a layer of solid defense on this new home. ......
At nightfall, a crisp glass sound woke up the two figures who were lingering...
"Enemy attack!" Ayton was startled, quickly put on his clothes and turned over to the window, opened a small slit to take a look at the situation outside.
"Brother, the voice seems to have come from another place. Ariel was dressed, but the flush on her face still hadn't faded.
"Maybe it's the 'black finger', be careful..."There was no movement around, only the slag of broken glass falling down, Ayton kept the sound to a minimum, the newly bought magic lamp had been extinguished, and the two dark elves could still see it clearly in the dark environment.
"Hmph, if you dare to disturb us at this time, I will never spare them!" Ariel pursed her lips in hatred.
But after half the salary, the attacker did not make any further move, and the two cautiously sneaked to the place where the sound occurred, only to see a fist-sized stone, surrounded by broken glass shards... As for the attackers, they are long gone.
"Ahh
Someone would dare to destroy the new home she had just bought!? And she chose this kind of time, you can imagine how sinister the attacker's heart is.
"Calm down, Ariel, at least that bastard isn't 'Blackfinger'"
Ayton couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, the other party must be a young child, and he could only retaliate by throwing stones in this way, and his intuition told him that the other party was probably the owner of the gaze they had when they entered the house.
"Hmph, I hope that person will dare to stand up and fight with real guns"
With that, Ariel turned around and walked angrily towards the attic.
Ayton guessed what she wanted to do, and said with a wry smile: "Wear more, it's cold outside now..."
"Got it..."
Moments later, a carpet of quilts wrapped in candles and carved wood from the goddess of light was thrown on the deserted weedy road.
