Chapter 138: John Bacon

Hugo frowned when he saw the client of the mission, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, since John Bacon wanted to sell the family castle, why did he still issue the task of expelling evil spirits? Wouldn't it save time and effort to sell it directly to the buyer? In this way, he could get a sum of money and get rid of the ancestral house with resentful spirits, so why find someone to expel the evil spirits, this is not taking off his pants and farting?

Hugo asked his doubts, and the Brown Knight thought for a moment and said, "Young master, how many gold galleons do you think a large armed house is worth? How many gold gallons is a large haunted armed house worth? Under normal circumstances, a large house with a certain amount of protection costs more than 3,000 gold gallons!" If it is a castle with a steep location, surrounded by a moat, and has a strong Romanesque style, the price will rise by a large amount, and if this castle is still magically protected, then it can even break the high price of 10,000 gold gallons! This is only the price of a large house or a small castle, and the price of those medium-sized castles can even increase several times or more.

If the small castle of the Bacon family is infested with resentful spirits, then the value of the castle will be greatly reduced, even to an unacceptable extent, if John Bacon can expel or kill the evil spirits first, then the value of the house will not be greatly affected, on the contrary, I am afraid that even one-third of the price will not be reached.

If I were John Bacon, I would also find someone to expel the evil spirits, instead of selling the house immediately, although the cost of expelling the evil spirits is not low, but it is much cheaper than the house, not to mention that the only person who can do this work is the wizard or the exorcist, these humans who have mastered extraordinary power do not necessarily have to use gold galleons to settle the bill, if Bacon still has a special magic item handed down from the family, maybe it is just the appetite of the exorcist or wizard, so that there is no need to pay gold galleons, and it also saves the trouble of selling magic items separately, isn't it a double win๏ผŸโ€

Hugo heard the words of the Brown Knight, and nodded in agreement, Indeed! If he simply sold the house, then he would definitely be killed to the point of misery, but does he really have something in his hand that can make an exorcist or wizard look at it? Is there anything good on this loser's body?

I don't know why Hugo always feels that something is not right, but he can't say what is wrong, it's like a very thin thorn stuck in his throat, although it doesn't affect his speech, but it always feels bad to be stuck there.

But now he is very interested in this small castle, Scotland in the Middle World is a place with a lot of castles, large and small castles are located in this beautiful land, and the castle can not only ensure life but also very effective against external dangers, such as Vikings, dark wizards, lords, magical creatures, etc., they are very deadly, so it is very important to have a castle suitable for their own survival.

Now there are only two people in the entire Trelawney family plus the Brown Knights, a large armed house is just enough to meet Hugo's survival needs and security, if the castle is too big, he can't even configure the guards, and the loyalty of those hired guards is too low, if there are too many hires, the whole castle will be like a colander, and there is no way to guarantee safety.

The armed house is different, as long as there are few guards or simply the Brown knight himself plus a few servants can operate, just suitable for Hugo's current situation, if you can buy it, it is really ideal.

"Uncle Brown, let's go to John Bacon's prodigal son and see how much he plans to sell his ancestral estate, and if it is appropriate, we will buy it, for Eastburg no longer exists."

Hearing Hugo say this, the Brown Knight was silent for a while, and an indescribable emotion permeated his heart, in fact, the Brown Knight's sensibility to Eastburg is more than Hugo's fusion of the original owner's memory, Hugo has the identity of a time-traveler after all, his receptivity is very strong, and the Brown Knight really grew up in the castle since he was a child, and received education and training in that familiar place, and the feelings are very deep, and now they want to have a castle again in another place, that is to say, the original Eastburg is afraid that it will disappear into the dust forever, which makes the Brown Knight involuntarily have a trace of sadness, but the Brown Knight's sadness only lasted for a short time, and he repacked his feelings and became the man who seemed to be steel again.

"John Bacon should be in Corwin now, does the young master want to visit his house?"

Hugo nodded, glanced at Will, who was still intently watching the task under the plank, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then squeezed over again, and told the earth dog brother that he was going to the town of Colwin to find John Bacon to buy the castle, and asked him if he wanted to go and see the excitement.

"I'm at a 'critical moment in my life' and need to choose a job, and I don't have the money to buy any castles, so of course I'm not going!" Will indulged in his fantasies, and threw Hugo aside, not at all meaning to be a little brother.

Hugo expected such an answer, and with a shrug of his shoulders, he and the Brown Knight broke away from the noisy crowd and walked along the crowded path of the Forgotten Village towards the front.

There was a lot of noise and robed wizards, as if all the wizards of Scotland were concentrated in this small village at this time, and the crowd made Hugo's desire to move fast was in vain, and he could only move patiently step by step with the flow of people.

When the master and servant finally squeezed out of the crowd, they couldn't help but let out a long breath, not far from them was a medieval-style town, but the style of this town was different from the wizarding village they had just left.

It's populated by ordinary people and squibs that can't release magic, and without those weird magical creatures and non-human intelligent life, the overall style seems normal, there will be no crooked goblin house suddenly on the street, and there will be no ugly goblins slipping under your nose.

Most of the ordinary people living here exist as vassals of wizards, and they basically have a certain understanding of white wizards and black wizards, and can understand the difference between the two, so there will be no fear of wizards and inability to live a normal life, and some of them can even negotiate business with wizards smoothly, and the squibs who have a blood relationship with wizards are not particularly rare, and they even play the role of a bridge between ordinary people and wizards.

From this point of view, the life of the Squibs is actually quite good, of course, except for a few people, such as John Bacon!
