Aldrich's treatment of teachers is quite high, including food and accommodation, eating all kinds of meals provided free of charge in the canteen, and even having the opportunity to add meals to extraordinary cuisine once a week, and living in a special teacher's dormitory area, all luxury single-family villas.

Merlin and Alice strolled down the road in the teachers' quarters, looking at the beautiful villas around him with some curiosity.

"Ah, it's a house I couldn't afford to buy in my last life without eating or drinking."

He complained silently in his heart.

Aldridge is located in the center of the western part of Cornwallis City, and it is only ten minutes away from the former Imperial Palace.

And if it was in the period before the empire collapsed, the house in this location could not be bought by ordinary people even if they had money, and all the people who could live in this area were nobles.

If you look at the central palace as the middle point, then Aldrich's location is the first ring, and the other mansions that are also the same ring are basically the ancestral homes of those big nobles, and the second to third rings are divided by the small and medium-sized nobles, and outside the third ring is the turn of those big businessmen and rich people.

However, now that the empire is gone, and the former capital of Cornwallis City is gone, the class rules are not as strict as before, and many small and medium-sized nobles in the second and third rings have sold their houses to wealthy merchants who used to live outside the third ring road, and then moved their families to the new capital of the Southern Alliance.

The house prices in the ordinary areas outside the Third Ring Road have plummeted, but the house prices in the core areas within the Third Ring Road have not fallen, but have risen sharply because of the money scattering behavior of those merchants who do not pay back the prices.

I really don't know what those big businessmen think, maybe it's because they burn too much money, they use more money than the market price to buy a large number of small and medium-sized aristocratic houses that have economic problems, completely put on a posture of how much I collect.

This is not fine, many people sigh that rich people really know how to play, in this situation where Cornwallis City is not as good as a year after year, will those businessmen really not lose money and go bankrupt?

In fact, Merlin was also curious about what the merchants thought, and there were two such "coin-throwing" merchants around him, one was Cinderella's father, and the other was Diana's father.

Cinderella's family now lives in a luxurious villa on the second ring road, and Merlin has heard from the schoolgirl that this is a rare act of grandfather on the part of her crumbling father, Keynes, who insisted on spending a lot of money to buy the house that originally belonged to an earl, despite the objections of her miserly stepmother.

Xueba girl herself doesn't know what crazy his father is, after all, her father is a self-made small businessman, and his past investment has always been cautious, and he will only make a move when he makes a steady profit, and his bold purchase of a house is really a bit unexpected by everyone, so Xueba girl's stepmother Vera is almost about to divorce, because the crazy man has a little bit of money to buy a house, so he hit the idea on his stepmother's dowry.

Well, Cinderella's father did not hesitate to target a Grandet's private vault in order to buy a house, which can be said to be really a little crazy.

As for Diana, her family is really rich, so she is even more fearless when it comes to throwing coins, as if one-sixth of the real estate in the second and third rings is surnamed Halder.

This makes Merlin quite worried about this cheap nephew, the reason why Cynthia's ghost woman will accept the merchant girl as a disciple is because she covets her family's wealth, if Diana's family has been throwing coins like this and finally goes bankrupt, with Merlin's understanding of Cynthia, this ruthless ghost woman will definitely kick the merchant girl who has no use value out of the school on the spot.

But then again, it seems that so far the sellers are still some small and medium-sized nobles, as for the big nobles in the first ring area, no one seems to have moved, although most of them have also moved to the new capital of the alliance, but the old mansion here has been taken care of, no one has thought of selling, even if a big businessman like the Halder family has shouted a sky-high price to buy, no one is still tempted.

Come to think of it, even if the powerful empire of the past collapses, the great nobles of the empire are still the great nobles of the alliance now, and their status and wealth have not changed much, so naturally there is no need for them to sell their ancestral homes for a little money like those pathetic small and medium-sized nobles.

In the same way, it is precisely because these great nobles ignore the lure of the merchants that the housing prices in this ring have risen to an astronomical and terrifying level, and Aldrich is located in the first ring, and every house in the dormitory here is absolutely valuable.

As a professor at the school, Merlin should have been assigned a single-family villa like this as a temporary residence, but considering his particularity, he would incarnate as a demon king at night, and the demon king's magic power was too serious for the demonic erosion around him, so Merlin finally rejected the old principal's original proposal to give him a good house.

He didn't want to wake up one day to find Aldrich turned into a demonic school with all demons.

But then again, he seems to have a property in this horrific part of the housing price, and it is definitely the best one......

Merlin looked up at the Imperial Palace in the center of the West Quarter, and then shook his head again.

Although the title deed of that place was still well kept in his castle, and he was the only legal heir to the big house that was coveted by I don't know how many people, but he would run to live there when he was full.

Low-key low-key ......

Merlin withdrew his gaze and continued with Alice, and in a few moments, he found Sister Lin's house according to the house number.

It was a beautifully walled detached house on an island in the middle of the entire dormitory.

There are only no more than ten villas on the island in the middle of the lake, each of which is not far away from each other, with good privacy, and at the same time, from the architectural style and decoration quality, it is known that it is more than one grade higher than the ordinary villas outside.

This is where only the real high-level of the college are qualified to live, and generally only the dean and vice president can live here.

Of course, as Sister Lin, she naturally wouldn't say anything when she lived here, and if Merlin had accepted the dormitory arranged by the old headmaster, he and Sister Lin would probably be neighbors.

Merlin stepped forward and shook the doorbell hanging outside the door, and soon, there was a cheerful footstep from inside the villa.

"Welcome, Professor Merlin."

Lynn opened the courtyard door and smiled happily at Merlin.
