The carriage drove quietly on the flat path lined with trees, the sun poured through the gaps in the branches and leaves, the shrill and loud cicadas and the extraordinary graceful birdsong weaved a unique summer scene, the breeze blowing, the swaying branches and leaves rustled, and the sound of the waves crashing against the reef seemed to be faintly heard in the ears.

In front of a quaint and magnificent building, the carriage slowly stopped, and when the carriage door came down, the solemn gate suddenly came into view, and the green lawn courtyard was paved, and the tall houses with white stucco walls and light red roof tiles showed a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.

In the distance, a middle-aged man in a black dress who looked like a butler stepped on the cobblestone road, and when he saw DeWitt in front of the carriage outside the door, he said softly with an elegant smile on his face: "Mr. DeWitt, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to come to visit today, I'm really sorry for the disappointment." ”

"Butler Bernie is gracious, I have something to do to visit today." DeWitt replied politely.

The butler named Bernie opened one of the doors of the iron bar, stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "In that case, you might as well go to the house and talk about it slowly." ”

"There's a Lauberie butler."

With that, DeWitt, Xia Lan and the others entered the door, and under the leadership of the butler Bernie, they were in the luxuriously decorated living room of the house in a short time.

After the maid brought the hot tea and pastries and stepped back, DeWitt, who was sitting on the soft sofa, took a sip of tea and then explained the purpose of today's visit to the Bernie butler opposite.

"Butler Bernie, I'm here to introduce a guest today." De Witt's gaze moved to the quiet and indifferent Xia Lan beside him: "This is Mr. Lowell, his purpose is to rent a large house in Monteres with a quiet environment, after knowing this demand." The first thing I thought of was Butler Bernie. ”

As for the little boy beside Xia Lan who looked curious and looked around, Eller automatically let him ignore it.

"Mr. Lowell. Hello. Butler Bernie followed DeWitt's gaze and introduction, and immediately said politely. In Lower Coaster. Bernie. Now he is the steward of the manor. ”

"Hello." Xia Lan nodded and said lightly.

"Mr. Lowell, do you think this is the right place for your needs?" DeWitt asked, taking advantage of the situation.

"Can I take a tour of this place?" Charland Road.

"Of course."

It was Bernie, the butler, who replied, and he took a bell from his waist and shook it slightly, and in a moment, a maid with a beautiful face walked into the living room.

"This is Mr. Lowell, please serve the other party well and visit here."

Shortly after Charan pulled Eyler out of the living room with the maid, Bernie, the silent butler, suddenly opened his mouth to DeWitt and asked, "Mr. DeWitt, how much do you know about that Mr. Lowwell?" And. The most important thing is how long does he need to rent this estate? ”

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen this Mr. Lowell today, and I don't know much about him, but I think he's an important guest that you can't let go." DeWitt said slowly: "The loan period is three months, and the rental fee and commission are doubled. ”

Butler Bernie frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. DeWitt, you know my situation, double the loan fee is tempting, but what I need is stability. ”

"Put it down. As far as I understand, Sir Kemir's trip to the kingdom of Tros was very troublesome. No matter how smooth it is, it will be difficult to return to Monteres without a year. Dewitt said calmly.

"I trust your sources of information in this area, and in your dealings, but please forgive me for my concerns, if Sir Camille were to know that I had lent the estate to someone else without permission, you and I would know the consequences." Butler Bernie sighed softly.

"The size of the risk and the benefit are directly proportional, and from the moment you take this step, you have no chance of turning back." DeWitt said. "I'll try to help you in this matter, after all, we're on the same page."

"I hope it's a pleasure to work with."

……

……

After carefully visiting this manor villa, Xia Lan's heart was secretly satisfied, whether it was the environment or the overall internal and external structure of the manor, it was completely in line with his needs, and after looking at the warehouse in the basement, he returned to the living room with the maid.

"Mr. Lowell, are you satisfied with this house?"

As soon as Xia Lan sat down, DeWitt asked directly.

"Yes, if I can, I hope to be able to complete the rental procedures and move in here today." Charland Road.

"No problem." When DeWitt heard this, he immediately said, "But before that, Steward Bernie wants you to agree to some of his loan terms. ”

"Conditions? Let's talk about it. Charan's gaze shifted to Bernie on the other side.

"Mr. Lowell, did you hear Mr. DeWitt say you only need to be on loan for three months?" Bernie Road.

"Three months is a conservative time, but I wouldn't rule out a longer loan." Xia Lan said truthfully.

"I would like to take the liberty of asking, what is the maximum length of time you can expect to be rented?" Bernie asked.

"Within a year." "Because I have no intention of settling in Montreis. ”

Hearing this, Bernie breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "One more thing, if you are willing to take in the servants of this manor and strictly abide by the terms of the lease agreement, then we can sign the lease agreement today." ”

"It's okay to take in the servants of this manor, but they must follow the rules I set in the manor!" Charland Road.

"Of course." Bernie nodded in response, turned to DeWitt and said, "The next thing to do is to ask Mr. DeWitt to sign the loan agreement." ”

"Okay, if nothing else, we'll get out of the way for now." DeWitt stood up and said.

Under the courtesy of the housekeeper Bernie, Xia Lan and De Witt left this remote and quiet manor, and returned to the central city of Monterres to have lunch.

"Mr. Lowell, are you interested in the underground auction in Montreis?"

After Xia Lan signed all the agreements and paid the full rental agency fee, DeWitt suddenly asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"Underground auctions?"

"Yes, you know what kind of place Montres is, every year there is a lot of good stuff coming in from outsiders, and it tends to be auctioned off underground." DeWitt pretended to be mysterious: "Why is there an influx of outsiders in Montrés these days?" The impact of the recent wanted texts cannot be ruled out, but the main thing is that there are quite a few interesting things in the underground auctions in Montres this year. ”

"Oh? Looks like Mr. DeWitt, you have access to this? Xia Lan's mind really attracted his words.

"Although it is not well-known in Montreis, there is still an invitation to the underground auction every year." DeWitt said with a slight smugness.

"Does Mr. DeWitt mean that he wants to invite him to the next underground auction?" Xia Lan smiled.

"It's up to you." DeWitt said.

"When does the underground auction start?" Xia Lan said dryly.

"The seventh day of the next month." DeWitt said.

Xia Lan calculated the date in her heart, and it was only about two weeks from now, so she immediately agreed: "This will bother you." ”

"If you need help with anything else, you can look for me in the morning at the teahouse where we first met, and I'm used to spending the morning in that teahouse if nothing else." DeWitt said.

At the time of parting, after Charan rewarded the little boy Elle with ten gold coins as agreed, he seemed to remember something and calmed down to DeWitt: "Mr. DeWitt, I still have to thank you for renting the manor, but I want to say to you that I don't want some unpleasant things to happen in the manor to affect our relationship at that time." ”

De Witt was slightly stunned, and then knew that the other party had seen some problems in the leased manor, and then said indifferently: "Your Excellency can let go of this, I believe that the people in the manor will pay more attention to the content of the agreement signed than you." ”
