When Sophia announced that she could go to dinner, the girls ran not to the Sword and Shield Tavern at first, but to Eric's house, where they had to wash up first.

Eric's yard had been passively enlarged a lot, but he didn't care, it was already next to the Cloud Forest, so the place was remote and there was a lot of open space, just push the fence out a bit.

"Grandpa Tulle, why are you here?" Sophia's face turned a little unnatural when she saw that the butler Tulle and Eric were chatting happily.

Eric was puzzled by Sophia's reaction.

"I'm here to tell you good news!" Tulle looked very happy: "Our manor doesn't have to be so troublesome, I have already taken over Baron Willy's manor!"

Sophia's eyes lit up when she heard the news: "Really?"

Seeing Thule nodding, Sophia waved her fist happily: "It's amazing, this Willie still seems to be worth dying, thank you really for Moon Candy." ”

Eric on the side was a little confused: "Isn't it to build a new manor?"

"I'll tell you this, that's ......," Thule began to explain to Eric.

After listening to Thule's explanation, Eric finally understood why Sophia was so happy. Baron Willy's estate was not his, but another nobleman's. Only half of the estate was built, and the foundation was actually just laid.

This manor has a nice name, it's called Black Swan Manor. The entire estate was specially designed by the original owner, and a large part of it belonged to military installations.

In particular, the castle in the manor, the Black Swan Castle, was able to house the air force at the top of the castle. The Dawn Empire's air force is made up of dragon eagles, but Eric hasn't seen them yet.

Later, the original owner was accidentally killed at the hands of the wizard, and the manor, which was supposed to be inherited by his descendants, was also forcibly seized by Baron Willy. The full blueprints of the manor are still there, but Baron Willy only built part of the castle of the Black Swan, and the rest is completely abandoned. Baron Willie didn't plan to stay in Laikaling for long, he kept thinking about returning to Yanjing!

"Originally, I was still a little worried about the financial constraints, but now it's okay, the original owner has prepared a lot of materials to build the manor, and I calculated that according to the original design, plus the part we need to be built, there will still be a surplus in finances. After this manor is completed, hehe....everyone will know by then, anyway, it is safer to live in it than Laika City!"

Hearing these words, Eric glanced at Sophia, who nodded and said, "Don't worry! Not only that, but I want to develop the estate into another Laika town, and I have the right to move people!"

For some reason, Eric felt a chill when he saw the inexplicable light flashing in Sophia's eyes.

"Rejoice, you're almost the actual owner of the manor!" said Tulle, like a young man, as he gently pushed his elbow against Eric's ribs.

Eric nodded, he knew the location of the Black Swan Manor, it wasn't very far from the town of Laika. Thinking that Sophia still has that kind of power, Eric has to be a little envious of the nobles with deep roots. If he alone doesn't know when he will have his own manor, even if he does, no one knows where it is.

The most important thing is to finally have his own home, Eric began to get excited when he thought about this, Nima's life in Laika Town, either this or that annoyance.

After living in the manor, the people who want to see themselves have to go through the notification first, and if they get angry, they will directly put away the suspension bridge and not let you in.

After arriving at the Sword and Shield Tavern, Eric went to see Dora and Alan, who had fallen into a deep sleep and could not wake up for a short time. Caroline could only pour a "nutritional potion" into Alan's mouth every day.

This "nutritional potion" Eric can also make it, but he doesn't need to make it specifically for Ellen, it's not expensive. Dora's condition was much better, with no injuries other than extreme weakness.

Like Ellen, Eric sensed that Dora's soul power had decreased, but the situation did not deteriorate, and it seemed that her contract with the devil had been completed.

Unlike Allen, the power of the soul is still decreasing, and Ivanov must have noticed this situation as well, but Ivanov didn't say anything to the Caroline family.

Eric wasn't too worried about this situation, and he was going to break the devil's contract for Eren in a few days, but before that, he had to be fully prepared.

In the evening, when Eric finished meditating, he walked towards the burial chamber in the small town of Laika, where he was going to look for information and materials from the Brotherhood of Thieves, which was the only thing available now.

Overhead, the night sky was vast, but there was a lone moon, and the stars shimmered timidly in its distance, and carefully faded farther and deeper.

Looking up at the stunning night view, Eric said, "It's a bit out of place for the occasion!"

At this time, Eric was walking through the cemetery, and he was now a little puzzled why his mental power became more active every time he came here, and he also found that if he meditated here, the meditation effect would be increased a little.

Could it be that the meditation environment is also important?, with a question in his mind, Eric walked towards the tomb. Suddenly, there was a "croak!" sound from the cemetery's trees, startling Erik.

"Shet, what's it called in the middle of the night, don't you know that you represent ominous?" Eric who found that it was a crow that scared him, couldn't help but curse a few words at the crow.

The crow did not take Eric's scolding to heart, and continued to croak defiantly and "quack!", and now the crows of the entire cemetery crowed.

"Count it on you!" Eric said with a thumbs up to the crow and entered the burial chamber. In the small cabin next to the tomb, the grave keeper arranged by the Brotherhood of Thieves smiled: "It's good to be young, and there is still the spirit to compete with the crows!"

Eric arrives at the Brotherhood of Thieves' pastime, the Great Barrel, where the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere gives Eric a bit of a previous life to visit a bar, and the tavern-like place he passed by last time was originally called "The Great Barrel".

Just as I was about to ask someone about the devil, Jack's voice came from not far away: "Hey, Eric! Why did you want to come here today? Come and treat me for a drink!"

Eric followed the sound and saw Jack and the two of them sitting at a drinking table. Eric, who came to sit down at the wine table, stopped a waiter and said, "Four bottles of thorn honey, don't look for them!"

As he spoke, Eric shoved five silver sterts into the waitress's waist pocket, and touched the other man's ass by the way.

Jack and the other two people at the wine table, after seeing Eric's movements, all squirted out the wine in their mouths with a "poof".

Erik, who reacted in time, picked up the cloth on the wine table and spun it around, blocking all the drinks that were about to be sprayed on him: "What the hell are you doing, Jack?"

Jack didn't answer Eric's words, but stole a glance at the waitress. Seeing this, Eric also turned his head to look. Suddenly, Eric's expression froze.

"How... How are you?" said Eric, a little sneering.

This waitress turned out to be Crawford, yes, it was the Crawford codenamed "Black Widow". Eric, who has been messing around with the "big barrel" for a while, already has a comprehensive understanding of Crawford.

So Eric, who didn't know if Crawford would be mad, his body tensed.

Crawford looked at Eric with an angry look on his face, and did not speak.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Eric finally couldn't help but speak first: "I said what's going on? Why are you here to be a waiter? You can't blame me! Every time I order a drink, it's like this, misunderstanding!

"A Golden Wall!" said Crawford, holding his hand in front of Eric's eyes.

"What?" said Eric, who didn't understand what Crawford meant.

"Two golden walls, forget about this matter, otherwise you drink carefully in the future, and see if I dare to add some ingredients to it!" Crawford seemed to be saying something that was not a big deal.

When Eric heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt sorry not only for the two golden walls, but also for Crawford's festivity. He didn't believe that Crawford would give up on taking revenge on him after receiving the money.

Despite this, Eric painfully pulled out two gold walls and handed them to Crawford. Crawford, who received the money, left satisfied. Eric asked Jack with some humility, "Will she be able to do that?"

Jack frowned and said, "This....probably will! After all, you are different, we are a team." ”

"It's strange that Crawford didn't poke you with a dagger?" said the man sitting to Eric's left. The man looked thin and dark, but there was a shrewdness in his eyes.

"Yes, the guy who wanted to tease Crawford last time has been lying in bed for three whole months!" said another, very ordinary-looking man.

Jack then said to Eric: "Eric, let me introduce you, this skinny man is called Buchanan, and the ordinary-looking man is called Simon, and they are all small characters. ”

"You're the little guy, your whole family is the little guy!" Buchanan and Simon shouted to Jack in unison.

Ignoring the two men, Jack asked Eric directly, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"No, I'm here for some information about the devil. ”

Hearing this, Jack suddenly lost interest, and he said to Buchanan, "This man happens to have some experience in dealing with devils, you can ask him." ”

Eric turned his head to look at Buchanan and noticed the glint of money in the other party's eyes, which made Eric subconsciously hold down his money bag.
