21 Deputy
"How's that? I'm right!"
A smug voice appeared behind him, and without distinguishing it, Alan could guess that it was the voice of the bearded Ugel.
"It's amazing indeed. Alan nodded, looked around for a moment, made sure that no one else was there, and then looked back at Ugel. "What else?"
"You can try to talk to him. Uger shook his beard and said with a smile: "His name is wood, you can call him Mr. wood." β
Ugel, who was standing outside the door, was smiling and seemed very proud, but he didn't mean to come in, as if he was afraid of affecting Allen's "experience"
Alan didn't care about his move, looked at the furnishings of the room, hesitated a little, and finally asked tentatively, "Mr. Wood?"
"Is there anything you need help with?
As if ready to reply, as soon as Allen's words fell, a rough and heroic voice appeared again, and voices came from all directions, as if the whole house was talking.
"You... What is it?"
"I'm wooden, handsome little fellow. β
"You can call me Allen. β
"Okay Alan, I'd love to serve those who come here, is there anything you need to help with?"
"I want to know if you can help me..."
β......β
He talked to the house for a long time with a curious expression, during which Alan had a fox wondering if it was a magic effect, but asked the merchant to blindfold the bearded man and take him away for several miles, and the house's talking effect was thrown at it, and it did not diminish anything from it.
He also guessed whether this was a special magic array that didn't need to be maintained, but when he rummaged through the upper and lower four floors of the house, he didn't see any traces of the magic array.
"You kid is very suspicious. Uger, who had been tossed for a while, said depressedly: "Uger's name is synonymous with credibility in Samuel, and you don't trust me? I told you, I have cooperated like this, and I don't agree if you don't buy it again!"
"If you tell me what the hell this thing is, I don't have much to hesitate about. Alan said.
He didn't care about the 100 gold coins, but he was very curious about it, so he seemed so "hesitant".
In fact, in terms of a simple house, although this house is not worth 100 gold, it is not too far off.
Alan had checked the lord's file records before, and the information on the houses registered for sale on them was basically floating around 50 gold coins.
Because he didn't know much about Samuel's specific situation, Alan didn't know which house was more expensive and which one was cheaper.
But relatively speaking, he thinks the house is actually good.
The place is big, counting the basement has more than four floors, the internal space is bright, because it is a half-corner, the light inside the room is also very strong, whether it is morning or afternoon, the sun can always shine on the room is bright.
Coupled with the fact that it was not far from the main road, Rose Avenue, and close to Silvermoon Street, which made Allen so curious, he felt that even if there was nothing special about this house, it would almost be bought.
The thoughts in Allen's heart are not known to others, Uger heard him ask, and thought that he was really hesitating this question, so he said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know, this house has been like this since I bought it, why does it speak, I have studied it for a long time and have not come up with results, in fact, if I hadn't been short of money recently, I wouldn't have considered selling it!"
Ugel said, sighing and saying, "It's a big bargain, but you kid is still so forward-looking, I'm not worth it for my Mr. Wood." β
He really didn't seem to know, Alan was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he didn't give up his intention to buy because of this, and after a while, Alan made up his mind, and the money bag that had been prepared was taken out by him: "Okay, this is 100 gold coins." β
"Haha, I'll just say you won't miss it, 100 gold coins, it's worth a lot!" Seeing Alan take out a bag of gold coins, Ugel was overjoyed, he wanted to take it, but Alan dodged it.
"What? You're going back on it?"
"Shouldn't you go and transfer the owner's information first?" Alan raised an eyebrow: "Or is it really sold if you sell it verbally?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I haven't sold a house in a long time, I almost forgot!" Ugel smiled and retracted his hand.
**
The handover of the house by the stars was simple, it only took to sign a transfer agreement in the presence of official personnel, and it didn't take long for them to complete the matter.
"You kid is a happy person, if you need any help, just go to me, I live in the Maple Leaf Tavern on Silvermoon Street now, you can find me as long as you go there, of course, if you want to buy potions, I am more welcome!"
Leaving such a sentence, the bearded man ran away in high spirits, and Alan felt that his hurried appearance was like a criminal who had cleaned up the traces of the crime, and he didn't want to stay at the "crime scene" for a moment.
"He's gone to the casino again," the merchant said helplessly, "I guess he's been holding back for a long time." β
"For a long time?" said Alench, "his house shouldn't be a hard sell, right?"
"Normally, that's right. "But he is not in a normal condition, as I have said before, there are people who have bad intentions towards Ugel, and although they do not pay attention, I believe that many people who are interested in buying his house have given up on this plan." β
"That's itβ" Alan frowned.
"But you don't have to be afraid," seeing his frowning appearance, Kleist said with a smile, "Because you are already hostile to many people, you will not be affected by this small matter." Those people won't bother you either, and no one wants to be the second bird until you're done dueling with Jude. β
"Then I should thank Jude?" Alan shook his head: "Be prepared, since there is such a thing, I think it is better to be prepared." β
He didn't regret it, the merchant had reminded him before, but he didn't care much, and now he didn't really care, after all, the level he was at no longer cared about this kind of low-level gangsters looking for trouble or anything, the stars and nobles were not just a simple name, they were privileged, and they wouldn't be bullied by cats and dogs at will.
You just can't do nothing.
"Remember the last time those two mercenaries were there?" said the merchant suddenly.
"Hanaris and Dario?" Allen's memory was still good for those who had detailed contact with him, so the merchant remembered it at the slightest mention of it.
"Yes, Hanaris and Dario, one is the two bald friends, and the other is an old mercenary with whom I have come into contact many times, and both are of good character. The merchant said, "If you want to hire people, consider them." β
"They're in Samuel?"
"That's right, last time they lost a lot of money, and both mercenary groups were killed by the orcs, so now they are recruiting people in the mercenary bazaar in Samuel. β
"Haven't recruited for so long?" Alan wondered.
The merchant shrugged: "It's normal, not everyone can be a credible supporter. β
"Well, try to reach them. "Alan has a good impression of those two people, and since he wants to hire people, it is naturally better to know people.
Seeing that he agreed, the merchant was slightly pleased, on the one hand, he really had a good sense of those two mercenaries, and on the other hand, those two were indeed capable.
The merchant has now taken on the role of deputy perfectly - because he left Samuel's house and was about to find another job, he happened to meet Allen, so at Allen's suggestion, he was hired to be his deputy.
said to be a deputy, but in fact, it belongs to the role of a housekeeper. For Allen, he can't do everything himself, and the businessman, despite his age, is agile and sophisticated, and knows Samuel very well, and hiring him is worth the money.
And for Kleist, Allen's generosity didn't give him a reason to refuse.
"So, let's discuss the detailed plan of the newspaper. He said with great interest.
