According to the address on the title deed, John took Selena to the villa where the mansion was located.

As soon as he walked to the perimeter of the villa area, John saw a row of iron bars nearly five meters high, with barbs at the tops of the densely arranged iron fences. John led Selena along the fence and soon saw the gate in and out, which was as wide as the avenue outside, and was guarded by soldiers.

Since John is a fresh face, he doesn't look like a rich man no matter how he dresses, he carries a sword and a shield, and he is holding a little girl with a noble temperament, this combination naturally attracts the attention of the guards. Soon, while John was still holding the title deed to determine his location, a guard came up.

As a guard of the nobleman's residence, he naturally won't come over and pick people up directly. The guards who came over greeted John and Selena, and when they turned their attention to themselves, they said, "You two, is there anything you can help you with?"

John was looking for a place when he saw a guard approaching. Who better knows the structure of this place than the guards?" thought John, "you have come just in time, and I am confused." The guard stood upright, waiting for John's next words.

John held the title deed in front of the guard, pointed to the address on it, and asked, "Do you know how to get around here?" I saw the layout outside the fence, and I felt that it was not very neatly structured, and I was having a headache and could not find a place. ”

The guards here are also well-informed, and just by looking at the pattern of the scroll in John's hand, they know that it is a real estate deed. If you have found it with the title deed, you must have just bought the property here? Now there are four vacant properties in this aristocratic district, and there is also a property left by a nobleman who has been purged for political reasons for sale, is it there?

The guards were also quick-witted men, and when John stretched out the scroll to speak, he had already figured out the possible locations, and arranged them mentally according to the possibilities, and also made a draft of the instructions. However, these were only discovered after seeing the address on John's real estate deed, and they were done in vain.

"This is ......" The guard looked at the address above, a little surprised. The address wasn't one of the properties he had in mind, and if memory serves, it was supposed to have an owner, or a high-ranking member of the church. Could it be that this man is still related to the church?

But no matter how shocked he was, the guard didn't show any abnormality, but unconsciously brought a little respect when he spoke: "Yes, sir, and this lovely lady." The address on your title deed is located at the back of the entire residential area, which can take a long time if you walk there. As he spoke, he turned slightly and pointed to the door behind him: "If you can, please let me lead the way for you." Our guard department is equipped with horse-drawn carriages, which can be used to take you there. ”

John didn't care about these details, and turned around and asked Selena, "How is it, little girl, are you walking over or taking the carriage?" Selena bit off the candy stick in her hand and said as she chewed, "It's all right." Are the big guys going to see the workshop today or tomorrow? If we do today, we'll take a carriage, it's getting too late. John thought about it, and said to the guards, "Then let's take the carriage, thank you." ”

The guard told John no, and walked over to his companion at the gate.

As soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by his companion: "Hey, Howard, what's going on? Could it be that the eldest lady of the family got lost and was sent back? I haven't heard of it." Howard waved his hand and said, "Stay put, this is with the deed, go and prepare a carriage." "Title deed?" The companion was surprised, raised his hand and pointed at John slightly: "Here? just them? There is not even a carriage?" Howard quickly reached out and knocked his companion's hand down: "Don't finger!" After speaking, he was afraid that the action here would be too big to attract John's attention, so he secretly glanced over there, and saw that John was still chatting with Selena before he said to his companion with confidence: "Don't underestimate people, he not only has the property here, but the location is also behind there." "Is it a district in the back?" the companion was startled at first, and then immediately leaned in and asked in a low voice. Howard didn't answer directly, patting his companion: "Don't hurry up and prepare." ”

Seeing his companion go to tidy up the carriage, Howard walked over to John again: "My companion has gone to prepare, I guess it will take some time, do you want to come to our place to rest for a while?" Although it is already half of the afternoon, the sun is still very hot, and it is not a matter to stand here. Let's sit in our lounge area for a while, and then set off when my companion has finished the carriage. ”

The guard's lounge is actually in the shade of a small tree next to the gate, and you can't usually see it if you don't pay attention when you enter and exit the door, but in the lounge, you can see the situation at the gate clearly. John and Selena followed the guards, Howard, to the break room as he walked, and Howard briefed them on the situation. After John and Selena sat down, Howard also took out a bottle of light ale wine and a bottle of juice from the warehouse and put them in front of John: "The carriage is estimated to wait a while before it comes, let's drink something first." John looked at the light ale in front of him and asked, "What is this?" Howard said, "This is a supply prepared by the guards for the visitors to drink while they wait and rest." John opened the cap and took a sip and it felt good. Selena thanked her and took a big sip of juice, but after drinking it, her face was twitched: "It's so sour~" Also, Selena has been eating sugar since she came out of the candy house, and how can there be any sweetness when she drinks juice at this time.

After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Howard opened the door, saw that it was his companion, and knew that the carriage was ready, so he took John and the others to the carriage.

After Selena got into the carriage and sat down, Howard sat on the carriage and directed the horse forward: "Drive!" The two horses pulled by this carriage were originally war horses, because they were too old to withstand combat training, they were retired by the Armaments Department and distributed to various departments, and the guards of the aristocratic district belonged to the Wangcheng Garrison, which could be regarded as the elite specially screened for the magnates, although they were not as good as the city defense guards, they could also be regarded as elite troops other than the field troops, and naturally had certain privileges, and got a lot of retired military horses to inspect and pull the carriage. The discipline of the military horses was higher than that of the other horses, and when they heard the order, the two horses started at the same time, and walked forward with a bell bell, pulling the carriage with a slow but steady pace.

Howard was right, John and the house they got was located in a very far away area, thanks to the good greenery here. There was a yard in front of each house on the side of the road that John could see now, and John estimated that there was a distance of nearly fifty meters from the entrance of their respective small yards to the main entrance of the house, and the courtyard was a similar square layout, so the area was even larger.

The carriage moved slowly and crossed a bridge. John found that the river was also surrounded by a fence on its embankment, and that the bridge was facing the gate, and that it was guarded. Howard stopped the carriage by the bridge and communicated with the guards here for a while, and then continued to drive the carriage forward, and his colleague explained to John: "This is the first district where your house is located, and most of the people who live in the first district are royal nobles and the high-ranking members of the cathedral, so the security is stricter than outside." ”

John listened to Howard's explanation and thought: Sure enough, Selena guessed correctly. Turning his head to look at Selena next to him. Selena raised her head slightly, looking arrogant.

After entering the first district, it is not a small building with a courtyard that you see outside, each building here is a western-style house, five or six floors, the outer wall is inlaid with various decorations, and in front of the door is a large garden planted with various flowers, and the garden outside each western-style pavilion is different and has its own scenery.

John was looking at the gardens when Howard pulled up the carriage in front of a mansion: "Two, here's it." ”

John and Selena got out of the carriage and saw the Western-style pavilion in front of them. The sight of the garden is a garden of all kinds of plants, not only flowers, but also several large trees that are sprouting, in the garden there is a gazebo, and a small stream winds in the yard.

"From here, the garden and the hill on which the mansion is located are all yours, sir. Howard said, pointing ahead.

John asked a little strangely, "Is there such a big place in this city? ”

Howard explained: "Actually, from the moment we entered District 1, we were already out of town. The river we just passed by is a section of the moat. To be exact, this place already belongs to the Wang Family Garden, and those guards just now are actually members of the Wang Family Garrison. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the hill: "If I remember correctly, at the foot of the hill on the other side of the hill, there is a fence that separates the residential area from the garden. Because the people who generally live here are big people who will be summoned urgently when something big happens in the kingdom, there should be a small door on the fence, please don't get close, if you are misunderstood by the royal garrison, it will be very troublesome. All right. Howard led John to the door, pointed to the nameplate next to the gate and said, "Please open the deed to this place." If you are the host here, there will be a reaction. John did so, opening the deed to face the blank nameplate. I saw that the lower part of the scroll suddenly caught fire and began to burn, and the ashes that had been burned fell off the scroll, and some of them flew to the nameplate, and they spelled the name "John" by themselves, and the remaining ashes gathered together by themselves, turning into a key and floating in front of John. John reached out and took the key in his hand, only to see the key "ding" and make a soft sound, and the originally closed door slowly opened by itself.
