The bell tower of St. Hilde's Cathedral struck twelve dull sounds.

The calendar turned over one more day, and it was now August 19, 1379 in the glorious calendar.

Tulun Port, 47 Palm Tree Street, this is a rather luxurious single-family small building, white walls, red tiles, ostentatious exterior relief decoration, plus the neat palm trees in the yard, the living environment is quite good.

"Even if it's an opera actress who has recently become popular, she can't afford to buy a house here." Qiao held a cigar in his mouth, stood outside the back door of the small building, and whispered his fingers to calculate the account: "So, Yanan, how much money did you give her?" ”

Palm Avenue is the newly wealthy area of Tulun Port, where a small single-family building starts at more than 100,000 gold marks.

The Rittal family has a stake in the old theater destroyed by shelling, as well as the new theater today, and he knows how much a popular actor is worth. Miss Vilenya, as the latest opera actress, her total legal income in a year is about 3,000 to 5,000 gold marks.

This is already an astronomical amount of income compared to ordinary civilians.

It's just that compared to the house prices here......

Tooth followed Joe's side, and he coughed: "Young Master, Miss Vilenya, you can also choose to rent this house." ”

Spreading his hands, he smiled and said, "Near Palm Tree Street, the average rent of a mansion is about five thousand gold marks a year, and the annual rate of return of five percent is very ordinary, but it is constant and long-lasting. ”

Joe was stunned, then shrugged, "Wow, of course, you can rent a house." But I rarely have this concept, I always buy something when I like it. ”

His lips moved, and Joe exhaled a puff of smoke.

Five thousand gold marks, there is no doubt that this is also a sky-high price that ordinary people cannot afford. Therefore, the residents of Palm Avenue are either newly wealthy businessmen who have a successful business, or they are artists who have the support of nobles behind them.

Opera singer, ballerina, poet, painter, composer, pianist......

Many of the most famous celebrities in the art world of Tulun Port are here, and Palm Tree Street is one of the most artistic streets in Tulun Port, and not only because of its proximity to the New Opera House.

Standing a little farther away, careful to hide himself in the shadows of the trees at any time, Sgns coughed lightly:

"How could an ignorant young woman, who once became famous, quickly become popular, vain and enjoyed, and above all to maintain the pomp and circumstance of her peers, refuse a mansion that was too extravagant and wasteful for her? Therefore, she should have rented this house with all her annual income. ”

With a light sigh, Si Gengs murmured with unforgettable resentment:

"Naturally, there is a tight money bag, and personal finances that are stretched thin for a set of high-end cosmetics. Damn the aristocracy, they know that it tempts to fall, and they will definitely take advantage of it. Miss Vilenya actually degenerated into Yanan's lover? Do you believe that they will be true love? ”

Shaking his head, Si Gengs muttered in disgust, "No, how can it be love?" He is old enough to be her father! ”

"A shameful deal, a shameless deal...... Great Mu, look, look, this is the nobility of the kingdom of St. Sia. This is, as it is called, the true face of your most devout believer! ”

Joe sighed in his heart, how much resentment there was in Mr. Sigons's heart.

However, it can be seen from this that this Miss Vilenya has become so popular in the port of Tulum lately that even Mr. Stans has become her loyal fan.

The grimace shopkeeper quietly pushed open the back door made of bronze hollow carvings with intricate and exquisite shapes, and beckoned to Joe.

Jo walked into the mansion, surrounded by Tooth, Strons, and a group of guards.

In the kennel next to the back door, two large boxers collapsed to the ground, their long tongues hanging out of their mouths and snoring lowly. In the small room next to the kennel, a manservant on night duty also fell into a coma.

Following the path between the palm trees, all the way into the small building in the middle of the courtyard, the whole mansion was quiet, and no sound came out. In several servants' rooms, there was a heavy snoring sound, and both men and women, all of them fell asleep.

"Well done, grimace shopkeeper!" Joe praised sincerely: "It is a good thing for everyone, especially for Miss Vilenya, to be able to take that information without alarming anyone. ”

Think about it, according to Yanan's account, the detachment led by four first-class battleships that the Kingdom of Saint Sia prepared in the open sea for this information, Qiao's heart couldn't help but sink.

This will not end so easily.

Follow the stairs to the second floor, along the corridor, to the living room at the end, where there is a curved staircase that leads to the third floor where the master lives daily.

In the largest living room on the third floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the pier were all open, and the heavy velvet curtains were closed, except for the soft translucent sheer curtains.

The night breeze blows the gauze curtains, the dark fragrance floats, and on the soft sofa in the living room, several slender and charming girls are lying there.

There were several silver hookahs on the ground, long hoses hanging on the ground, and wisps of faint smoke mixed with spices came out of the cigarette holders.

The air was a little cloudy, and an ambiguous atmosphere echoed through the room.

The girls were all dressed in extremely cool clothes, and their teeth whistled softly, but Sgns turned around, and with a loud voice, ordered a group of guards to stand in the corridor outside, forbidding them to step in for half a step.

Joe took a deep look at the girl lying on the couch with black hair as soft as satin.

The facial features with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, the ivory skin reflects a faint light in the dim light, the slender white body, and the fingernails and toenails are coated with a layer of pale pink nail polish.

A few days ago, under the pressure of Leah, Joe accompanied her to see a recently popular opera "The Merchant of Nice", and he recognized this as the heroine of "The Merchant of Nice", Vilenya.

A very delicate beauty.

Thinking about the honor of His Excellency Yanan, and his age, Joe whistled softly: "In the words of "The Merchant of Nice", this is a filthy world, what flower can come out of the mud without staining? ”

Shaking his head, Joe walked straight across the living room into Vilenya's bedroom.

According to Yanan's confession, at the head of the bed in Vilenya's bedroom, Joe slid a huge oil painting of "Water Lilies" more than six feet to the side, revealing a three-foot square safe behind it.

Still the familiar mountain pattern coat of arms, Joe smiled and entered the eighteen-digit password of Yanan's confession.

Pulling open the heavy safe door, you will see a thick cowhide briefcase one and a half feet long, one foot wide, and half a foot thick.

Joe took out the briefcase and examined the two small padlocks on the briefcase.

The padlock was undamaged, and the few secret notes of Yanan's confession were intact, and it was clear that after Yanan handed over the information to Miss Vilenya, the beautiful girl did not have any undue curiosity about the briefcase.

"Merciful Muteste is above, and it is good for her, and for us." Joe patted the briefcase gently.

Then, curiously, he rummaged through the other contents of the safe.

A tourist passport, then a stack of blank traveler's checks, and a dozen small boxes containing a few very nice pieces of gemstone jewelry, according to the market price, about 30,000 gold marks.

A velvet money bag containing less than a hundred gold coins, mixed with a few large gold pounds minted by the Ice Sea Kingdom Mint. Next to the money bag, there was a small wallet with more than seven hundred gold marks in it.

That's it.

An opera actress who has just made her mark in Tulun Port and is about to become a hit, her entire net worth is so much.

"Need an advanced prescription for a power potion?" Laplasie's voice rang out just in time.

"Oh no, I'm a cop, not a thief!" Joe hastily rejected Laplasie's offer.

After taking a serious look at the safe that seemed a little empty, Qiao was about to close the door of the safe, his fingers suddenly shook inexplicably, his pupils turned pale red, and the three-round six-pointed star magic array in the depths of his pupils slowly rotated again.

Joe's hand shook from side to side in the safe, and then he grabbed at a dark swirling black light in his field of vision, and with a 'click', a secret door in the safe was activated, and in the inside of the safe, there was actually a mezzanine.

In this mezzanine, there are stacks of brand-new gold mark banknotes, and nearly 100 two-pound gold nuggets are neatly stacked together. At the top of these banknotes and gold, there is a milky white crystal ball.

Joe's eyes were deep on the crystal ball, at the wealth that was worth more than a million gold marks.

This crystal ball, at first glance, is ordinary, only in the crimson vision, Joe can see the unfathomable power in this crystal ball like a deep pool. Deep, twisted, like a tiny passage to an unfathomable being.

Joe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again, and the red light in his eyes was gone.

"Wow!" Jo sighed in a low voice, "Our Miss Vilenya seems to be more than just a simple opera actress......

La Plathi's distinctive, parrot fish's shrill laughter gnawing on coral rang out again.

"Isn't it...... If you're willing to pay a paltry amount of money, I can even tell you......" Laplachi's words came to an abrupt end, apparently deliberately trying to hunt for Joe's appetite.

"Oh, I don't want to know." Joe shook his head, closed the secret door again, restored the safe, put the painting back in its place, and strode out with the safe.

An hour and a half later, surrounded by a large group of family guards, Joe finally returned home.
