After coming out of Iolem's study, Xia Duo's mind relaxed a lot, like letting go of a boulder pressed on the bottom of his heart.

Now in this situation, with Iolham's endorsement, he can finally get rid of the suspicion of Cliff's death, and no matter what the Seven Towers ultimately determine the cause of Cliff's death, he is also confident enough to deal with it.

In front of Iolem just now, Xia Duo did not say whether to return to the south immediately, in fact, he was not ready to return immediately, he also wanted to know the results of the investigation of the Seven Towers as soon as possible.

In any case, this matter has involved him, and he has to wait for a result, whether it is good or bad for him.

Walking out of the Arcane Federation, Xia Duo looked up at the sky, and he felt that the sky was much clearer than before.

Arriving on the west side of Arfa Square, Xia Duo saw Evans looking around under a statue of a Grand Arcanist, and the other party did not notice it until Xia Duo approached.

"I'm right in front of you!" Shado said.

"Huh?!"

Evans suddenly withdrew his gaze from looking around, and focused his gaze on the ordinary adventurer in front of him, who was not good-looking, and asked with some uncertainty:

"Is that you? Lord of Summer? ”

"It's me!" Xia Duo spoke calmly.

At this sensitive moment, going out to a foreign illusion disguise can still avoid a lot of trouble, like the situation of just encountering Lord Hawke in front of the Comanso embassy, after all, it is still a minority.

"Did I bring the property information I wanted?"

"Brought!" Evans hurriedly pulled out a crumpled stack of parchment from his bosom and prepared to hand it to Shado.

Xia Duo took it casually, but did not check it immediately, but pointed to the west, and said, "Let's go, take me to the nearest place first." ”

"Yes."

Evans answered, and then began to lead the way, and as he went, he also introduced the first property to be visited:

"The house was located at the junction of the port and trade districts, not far from my 'drunkard's house', just two blocks away.

"It was originally bought by a southern merchant, but when the merchant went to sea and encountered pirates, the house was sold to Blackbeard by his youngest son.

"My lord, 'Blackbeard' is the boss of the real estate guild in that block, I heard that he has an unusual relationship with a certain big man in the Seven Towers, of course, compared to you, my lord, it is not worth mentioning."

Chateau was noncommittal to such a compliment, nor did he interrupt Evans's narration, and before the high level, his main area of activity was the Tower of Time.

He had been to Severton a few times after that, but by then he was already an arcanist, and he was too far away from the real bottom to experience the real life of the bottom layer.

Listening to Evans tell the stories of these neighborhoods now gives Shado a clearer understanding of the other side of the Nessriel spellcaster community, and it also makes him feel the reality of the world more deeply.

"My lord, I haven't told Blackbeard about buying a property, but if you identify yourself, the price may be much cheaper, and you will have to avoid a lot of trouble in that neighborhood in the future."

"Don't worry, let's go and see first."

Xia Duo didn't doubt Evans' claim, but if it could be solved with gold coins, why should he owe someone a favor?

Although others may not expect him to be repaid, he is a principled person who will keep it in his heart, and it is better to owe less favors in order to avoid unenlightened thoughts.

……

Soon, the two came to a north-south crossroads, and Evans pointed to a section of a building in the northwest corner, and said to Chado:

"My lord, that's the first property."

Xia Duo only glanced at it, and then frowned, not that this house was bad, but that it was next to other houses, similar to the low bungalow warehouse on the edge of the old community in his hometown.

It's just that the houses here are not low, but three or four stories high, and from the outside, they are all stone, which is relatively tall.

Chateau had seen a number of brick or plywood houses in the port area, and Evans certainly wouldn't have introduced him to that kind of property, but it was still a bit short of what he had hoped for.

Walking under a pillar of street lamp, Xia Duo quickly flipped through the pages and looked at the information found by Evans, this house was also among them, and the sale price was as high as 100,000 gold coins!

"It's not easy to live in a big house!"

In the past, Savile's net income including the Tower of Time was only about 100,000 a year, and it was a very difficult decision to spend 100,000 yuan at one time to buy a property in Severton that might not be lived in several times a year.

Even now, this money is an out-and-out huge amount of money for Xia Duo!

What's more, he also wants a more independent property than here, which will be more expensive, but since he is going to buy a house, how can he find one that meets his expectations.

Putting away the information, Chateau directed Evans to the next one, and after excluding the vast majority of houses that were not independent and decent enough, only two manor properties remained.

It was one of them that they were going to now, on the border between the trade area and the Old Town, and its proximity to the Old Town would have cost at least 20 per cent of the price apart.

Evans offered a sale price of 350,000 gold coins!

This price is already half a small mage tower, and before today, Xia Duo really didn't expect the house price in Sevinton to be so high!

Even if he, a veteran arcanist, wants to buy a property in Severton that matches his status, it is not easy.

Of course, if he is willing to "sell himself", some chambers of commerce and spellcaster organizations are willing to pay this money for him.

But he obviously wouldn't do it.

……

Soon, Xia Duo saw this manor worth 350,000 gold coins, surrounded by green trees outside, and the area inside was really not small for Severton, where every inch of land was valuable.

10,000 square meters!

The manor building consists of two main parts – a two-storey villa in the style of an elf, and an attached garden square; One is a townhouse used for the squire's residence and the placement of miscellaneous items.

And the location of this manor is also quite good, with the trade area to the south and the old town to the north, so the transportation is convenient and the security is good.

It is not uncommon to see patrolling guards of the Old Town passing by here, and seeing this, Xia Duo is no longer ready to go to the next place.

Because the other manor property is located in the old city, it is only rented and not sold, and the annual rent is as high as 50,000 yuan.

In other words, renting there for six or seven years is equivalent to losing this freehold estate here.

Maybe it was more decent and more reflective of the status of a senior arcanist, but in the case that this manor here was okay, Xia Duo really didn't want to be the wronged leader.

Thinking so, he had actually made a choice in his heart, so he asked Evans again, "Can I build a mage tower here?" What if I want to build a mage tower here? ”

With such a large estate, it would not be too small to build a mage tower, and it would be safer and more convenient for Xia Duo to have his own mage tower in Severington.
