Chapter 22 Second Watch
The land belongs to the auction scope of the auction house, and it is clearly stated that any land transaction must be carried out in the auction house, and the private sale of land is not allowed, which is strictly prohibited by the Holy See, and the Holy See controls the auction house, and any purchase and sale of natural land must be carried out under the supervision of the Holy See.
The Holy See attaches great importance to the auction of land, and is particularly cautious, if You Jialan College wants to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, the land required is not ordinarily large, You Jialan College belongs to a private college, which is also a place that makes it difficult to pity, the land is not ordinarily large, if You Jialan College is a public school, naturally you don't have to worry about this problem, but you can't leave Said, You Jialan is only a private college, it is possible to settle in the imperial capital.
It's not a small amount, and relying on her little savings is simply not enough. But for Rei, for a master-level enchanter, there is no shortage of money at all. Walking into the auction house, the crowd was surging, there was a free auction manual, and I picked up a copy and flipped through the land to see the piece of land, frowning slightly, and the price was really expensive, especially for good locations.
After closing the manual, Ren walked to the place dedicated to the land auction, the staff looked at Ren with some surprise, and then smiled, "Miss, do you want to participate in the land auction?"
"I'm from You Jialan College. The staff was stunned, "You Jialan Academy, it's so good! Miss, please come here with me." The staff stood up with a smile and led Mercy to walk back, Mercy breathed a sigh of relief, since the cardinal took the initiative to invite, it was impossible not to do anything, as expected.
Bypassing the front hall of the auction house, walking through the spacious backyard and entering the building, the staff walked to the door with pity and knocked on the door very respectfully, "President, the people from You Jialan College are here." ”
The door was soon opened, and a man with gold-rimmed glasses stood in the doorway, tall and dressed in a very well-cut garment, with very neat stitches in every place, and looked Pian up and down, and said with a smile, "This young lady, come in and talk." ”
The staff left, pushed the door in, the room was gorgeously furnished, and the president of the auction house smiled, "Is Miss You Jialan's student?"
"Well, the headmaster has something to do now, and he has entrusted me to come, and this is the headmaster's letter. He handed the letter over, and the president took it and read it and said with a smile, "The cardinal has already informed us of You Jialan's situation, and the cardinal has also made arrangements for this. ”
Looking at the past, the area of several plots of land is not small, and the cardinal really made a big move, it seems that he wants You Jialan to leave the Said Kingdom, "Miss, please rest assured, You Jialan Academy is an academy invited by the cardinal, and the cost of the land does not have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry about the construction of You Jialan Academy in the future." ”
"The Cardinal is really generous, and on behalf of You Jialan College, I am very grateful to the Cardinal. ”
"Hehe, you're welcome, let's choose. ”
I took a look at it, if a few pieces of land are bought with money, the price is in the hundreds of millions, and the location is good, choose one of them, the president nodded, "The location here is good, although it is not in the center of the imperial capital, it is also far away from the noise and avoids friction." Did the principal come up with a construction drawing, and if he didn't have one, he would have left it to us. ”
"Thank you for that, thank you. The head of the auction house smiled, "You Jialan Academy has performed well in this academy competition, and there is almost no one in the imperial capital who does not know about You Jialan Academy, but unfortunately, the Side Kingdom still missed the opportunity in the end." ”
Smile pitifully, "It's common to lose and win." ”
The governor smiled, "That is, although it is a bit early to say this, but you are still welcome to join the Imperial Capital." ”
"Thank you. The president smiled, "Does the young lady have anything else to need?"
"Good. Ren nodded, the matter of the address was resolved so smoothly that Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and the two walked forward, and a staff member walked over, looking hurried, "President, there is a big buyer." ”
The head of the auction house raised his eyebrows, "Miss, I still have something to do here." ”
"It's okay, I'll go first. Ren didn't bother to listen to their conversation and walked forward, but the next conversation made Pien's footsteps freeze in place, and it was impossible to move one step further!
"Governor, a big buyer from the Northern Continent wants to buy several pieces of land in the imperial capital, I heard that ...... It is from a famous family, and it seems to be Carter......"
The blood in the whole body is all retrograde at this moment!
The Carter family? Isn't that the first family of the Northern Continent Empire, that's the identity she held in the past!
"Miss?" Seeing that Pien didn't leave, the governor couldn't help frowning and asked, and Pian said, "I accidentally heard it, people from other continents are really easy to see, I'm sorry, I won't bother you." The footsteps moved quickly, and soon disappeared, and the governor lowered his head, "Bring this buyer here." ”
"Okay, I'll go. The staff left in a hurry, the president pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, the people from the Northern Continent came to the imperial capital of the Eastern Continent and wanted to buy land, could it be that the Carter family in the Northern Continent intended to develop towards the Eastern Continent?
"Whoosh" A gust ——!of wind blew, the president looked back, there was nothing, and after a while, the staff came over with a middle-aged woman, the woman was dressed simply, with a kind smile, the president smiled and led her into the room, and after closing the door, the conversation between the two began.
"It's not easy for people from the Northern Continent to come here. The governor smiled, served a cup of hot tea, and the middle-aged woman smiled, "It's indeed not far away, but it's also worth it, the imperial capital of the Eastern Continent is really as we imagined, not bad." ”
The governor nodded with a smile, "It's rare for women to come to negotiate matters." ”
"The patriarch of Carter, the first family of the Northern Continent Empire, is a woman, so naturally he pays more attention to women. ”
Somewhere outside the room, Ren Jing stood there quietly, the conversation between the two was clear and eary, not a word would be missed, and Pian couldn't help but clench his fists, the current patriarch of the Karl family was a woman...... Grandpa he ...... Isn't it anymore...... Pity gritted her teeth secretly, she couldn't imagine that her sister could ascend to the position of patriarch, and she was really a woman with means.
"The patriarch of the Carter family is not ......" The president was surprised, and the middle-aged woman sighed, "The head of the previous generation of families has been depressed since that incident, and the original healthy body has suddenly failed, there is no way, the eldest lady can only pick up this burden." ”
The president sighed very regretfully, "It's a pity that the second lady of your family is jealous of her talents, she ...... at such a young age."
"There's no way, the old man is in pain for the death of the second lady, and no method will work. ”
Pity's heart twitched and ached, in her she was still Ola. When Carter was in power, the patriarch, that is, her grandfather, cared for her very much, and Hei Yao was given to her by her grandfather! Whether it was strict or loving, her grandfather was the hero in her heart, an indelible pillar! Unexpectedly, now this hero has also fallen, and the pillar has collapsed!
Sister, for everything, can you do it!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Pity told himself to calm down, and the conversation in the room continued, "...... Is the Carter family going to fight in the Eastern Continent?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, "It's not a war, the eldest lady just wants to expand the economy of the Carter family, you know, cross-continent transactions are the most profitable." ”
After hearing this, the governor smiled, "The number one nobleman in the Northern Continent, is he still short of money?"
"This money, the more you earn, the less it will be, the Carter family is so big, and there are so many properties under your name, no matter how much money you have, there will be less money. The middle-aged woman spoke, and the governor pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, "Is the cross-regional development of the family? ”
No family will consider the development across the continent, after all, the teleportation array is not something that anyone can use, especially the teleportation array across the continent, the Holy See is more strictly controlled, and the family also came on foot at the beginning, and the cross-regional development of the family has too much restrictive effect, but if it is developed in the Eastern Continent alone, it will be another matter.
"It's just doing business, not about development, and you have to start everything from scratch when you get to the East Continent. The middle-aged woman smiled, and the governor also laughed, "That's right, although I don't know the situation on the North Continent side of the Dao Dao, but the competition on the East Continent side is still very fierce." ”
"Hehe, we naturally know this, and we also said that everything must start from scratch. ”
The next conversation between the two is about the land, it sounds like the Carter family's goal this time is very clear, it is indeed to develop in the Eastern Continent, and the pity has already flashed away, sister, I can't imagine that your ambition has swelled to such an extent, and a single Carter can no longer satisfy you?
All the way back to the place where she lived, her expression was very cold, she didn't expect to meet the people of the Carter family in the Eastern Continent, the flame of revenge in her heart was burning and boiling, her revenge object was her dear sister, not the Carter family, but now the Carter family is estimated to have been unrecognizable, grandpa is no longer there, what else can she not do!
"Chirp!" As soon as Lian pushed the door open, Xiao Huang flew on Pian's head, and the clown showed the expression that only a puppy has, the lizard's tail flicked around, Pian is in a very bad mood now, it can be said that it is a little weird, hatred and excitement continue to overlap in her heart, it seems that You Jialan is not important in her heart, all she can think of now is strong hatred!
"Huh?" Xiao Huang felt that something was wrong with Pity, tilted her head and shouted, Pity exhaled deeply, no, she has to be calm, the more she has to be calm at this time, she has the weight in her hand, the token from the Temple powerhouse, if it is revealed, the auction house in the Eastern Continent will not sell the land to the Carter family, and the Carter family wants to develop in the Eastern Continent There is no way to talk about it!
Mercy clenched his fists fiercely, and the corners of his mouth rose, do you want to develop in the Eastern Continent? Dear sister, no matter what ambition you have, the first step you take is doomed to failure.
The next day, Jace came to the door in the morning, the speed was very fast, and Hidden Moon didn't go out, the three of them went to a very high-end café and sat down, and as soon as Jace sat down, he spoke, "I'll tell you a big thing, the Carter family in the Northern Continent actually came to the Eastern Continent!"
Yin Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise, raised her eyes pitifully, and also showed a slightly surprised expression, "The first family of the Northern Continent actually went to the Eastern Continent, what are you going to do?" Yin Yue asked, Jace raised his eyebrows, "Who knows that Lu Dao, the Carter family came here with a high profile this time, and now the circles in the imperial capital know about Lu Dao, it's not good to stay in the Northern Continent and go to the Eastern Continent to do something." ”
"It's probably for a better development. Mercy said lightly, and Jace snorted disdainfully, "Cross-border is already thankless, and the Carter family may be too rich to spend here to consume, and they are really wealthy." ”
Although Jace's Rocky family is also the first family in the empire, they may be a little weaker than the Carter family in terms of financial resources, at least they don't have the courage to cross regions. Jace leaned back in his chair, "Speaking of the Carter family, I wonder if you've heard of the genius girl Ola. Carter's name?"
Hidden Moon raised her eyes, "I've heard of it." ”
Ora, a genius girl. Carter, this is a very loud name, in the upper circle of the four empires, no one may know the way, this is a sensational figure at the time, and has been appreciated by the Pope!
"Isn't she dead? Pity said, Jace sighed with some regret, "It's a pity to talk about this genius girl, she has a family background and strength, if she is still here, there is a good chance that the position of the patriarch of the Carter clan will be hers." It's just a pity that I was younger than me when I died. ”
The corners of Pian's eyebrows jumped, "Fate, I can only say that she is too unlucky." ”
Jace hooked the corners of his mouth, "If only I had one-tenth of her talent, but it will be really difficult for the Carter family to develop in the Eastern Continent." ”
"After all, it's not in their own territory, but the Carter family still has the means, the Carter family has a close relationship with the Holy See, and no family can have high-level figures in the Holy See for generations. Hidden Moon spoke, Jace tugged at the corners of his mouth, compared to the Rocky family, it seems a little downgraded, with strong financial resources, but the relationship with the Holy See is only average, and the Rocky family in the upper echelons can't speak at all, so it seems that the Carter family is the real aristocratic boss.
"Jace, don't say you will meet your brother when you come back, what are you doing here?" A few figures pushed the door in, Jace frowned unhappily, and looked back, the three of them were all rich children, and the appearance of the hanging child was very similar to the previous Jace, the three young men walked over unceremoniously, and saw Yinyue's eyes lit up, and when they saw the pity, they disdained to speak, "I thought you had a girl, but I didn't expect it to be such a good thing, tsk." ”
"Have you said enough! Get out of here when you've said enough!" Jace was very angry, and the expressions of the three young men changed, "Jace, we used to be brothers, but you have really changed?"
"I'm not the same as I used to be, get out. Jace didn't give any face, and the three young men gave him a vicious look, "Okay, let's go!" The three men turned to leave, Jace was a little embarrassed, "...... That's the old fox friend and dog friend, now I don't have contact, I'm far away from the old circle, it's true!"
Ren picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You don't need to explain this to me. ”
Jace's face was slightly red, and Hidden Moon was silent on the side and didn't speak, "Ah, I went to the auction house and heard that the Cardinal has already arranged for the academy?"
"Well, I've already chosen the address, and the Cardinal is very generous. Mercy spoke, Jace smiled, and suddenly there was no topic, and Hidden Moon stood up at this time, "I have something to do, go first, you continue to talk." ”
"You seem to be busy?" asked in a low voice, and Hidden Moon spoke, "It's okay, it's just a private matter." ”
“...... In this way, I will see you again. Pity spoke, Hidden Moon said and then turned to leave, Jace stared at Hidden Moon's back and whispered, "Hey girl! ”
Rei frowned slightly, and was not sensitive to the title of male goblin, Jace looked at Pien's expression, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
Pity's heart trembled, and he followed up, what did he do, "Why do you want to keep up?"
"Of course go see what he does! Didn't he always circle around you? The goblin left so early...... I think eighty percent of them have something to do with women!"
A burst of pain hit him, and he couldn't help but grab the cup in his hand, and Jace stood up, "Let's go, dead girl!
Ren sat there without moving, Jace suddenly reached out and grabbed Ren's wrist and pulled her up from her seat, "Jace, what are you doing!"
Jace pulled out of the room, only to feel her palms sweating, and her heartbeat was faster, but she didn't shake it off...... His fair cheeks flushed slightly, and Jace just thought about how good it would be to keep dragging his hand if he didn't want to let go......
"Smack!" shattered the dream, the warmth in the palm of his hand withdrew, and Jace stopped, "I'm not going, if you want to go, go yourself." ”
"Dead girl, you ......" Jace wanted to say something, but after seeing something, he pulled pity aside, "Jace, what are you doing......"
"Shhhhh
Pity followed Jace's gaze and looked over, that place, the handsome young man was tall, just the back was fascinating, after a while, a carriage came, the door opened and a richly dressed girl walked out, Jace couldn't help but curse, "The male goblin is really ......!"
Ren only felt that her body was completely frozen, she didn't want to look, but her eyes couldn't be taken off at all, the girl smiled, Ren turned around abruptly, her expression was as cold as ice, "Dead girl, you ......" You have nothing to do, Jace wanted to speak, but his throat was inexplicably tight, Ren turned away, and in a moment, he completely disappeared from Jace's sight.
"Dead girl, dead girl!" Jace shouted, but he couldn't find the figure of pity, and the girl who was talking to the hidden moon turned around suddenly, Jace and the girl's eyes met, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Jace! Jace!" The girl shouted out a little disregardful of the image, and then ran towards Jace like crazy, Jace retreated in embarrassment, who is this woman!
Yin Yue frowned and looked in a certain direction, her figure disappeared directly in a flash, and the pearl in the clam may be ready to be taken out.
