Chapter 498: Akasia
Char slowly walked out of the basement and let out a long sigh of relief.
His current mood is very complicated, Kuro's death also represents the passing of an era, and it also represents the passing of some of his things
However, Char has always been a person who is very good at sorting out his emotions.
So quickly, he collected his emotions and looked at the roof on one side.
There, two old men were standing on the roof, quietly watching the sunrise in the distance.
One is Arthur, and the other, Ramses
As the embodiment of the sun god, he lived much longer than many, although the emperors of the Great Egyptian Empire changed from one generation to another.
But he was always behind the scenes.
Kuro was also his friend.
The three of them met on the battlefields of the Western Empire, and have been in correspondence ever since.
When Mordred launched the revolution, Kuro was asked by Arthur to choose to help Mordred.
And Ramses II also operated in a state environment.
So now that Kuro is gone, they will definitely come.
Ramses II had the means to see the spirits, so they probably talked for a while.
Char didn't bother them, his identity would make them feel inhibited, this may be their last face in the world, Char didn't want to ruin all this.
So, he just disappeared in place.
When it appeared again, it was the streets of the imperial capital, and it seemed that it was because of the departure of Quetzalcoatl, and today was a rare sunny day.
There are white clouds on the blue sky, to be honest, Char has come to the imperial capital so many times, and it is the first time he has seen such a clear sky.
It also seems that because of the rare sunny day, many people on the streets have come out to shop, and people are dressed appropriately and bring their children.
Beetle-shaped multi-legged taxis transport tourists to the imperial capital through the streets.
Since this is the capital, there are also quite a few soldiers patrolling the streets.
The retreating bipedal mechs on the battlefield took heavy steps, followed by four-legged reconnaissance mechs, diesel engines rumbling and billowing smoke.
However, the smoke cleared quickly, and the diesel engine must have undergone some upgrades, and the black smoke produced by incomplete combustion in the past was not as thick.
The people on the streets are no longer surprised by these mechs, but some of the people in the countryside are amazed by them.
Char did not continue to use teleportation magic, but continued to walk the street, just like the ordinary people on the street.
Soon, he reached the end of the street, navigating through a narrow alleyway, and finally came to a street that was rarely visited.
Directly opposite this alley, there is a staircase leading to the second floor.
The sign hanging on the stairs reads.
"Master's Consulting Office."
It's a very abstract name, and you can't tell what this is a store for.
However, Char still walked up the stairs to the second floor, where he stood at the door and knocked on the door.
Then, the door slowly opened, and a woman in her thirties dressed plainly opened the door slowly, and glanced at Char.
Then the woman asked, "Hello, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm here to consult." Char said.
The woman nodded, "Come with me." ”
With that, he led Char into the room.
The rooms are strangely constructed, some of them resemble an excavator-like structure, and you have to go through a long corridor.
On both sides of the promenade hung light yarns, fluttering in the wind, and a distinctive smell of spices permeated the air.
Soon, they entered the room, and set up a lot of gauze tents and curtains that were still hung, and Char saw the oriental-style curtains, and also saw the Persian-style curtains, which were very tricky.
In the middle of the room is an antique oriental-style wooden table with matching chairs.
The woman motioned for Char to sit in the chair.
Char sat down very obediently.
On the other side of a gauze curtain, a thin woman sat at some point.
It's just a gauze curtain, so I can't see it clearly.
"What do you want to ask?" The woman said, her voice was very crisp, like the first spring rain in early spring, refreshing.
Char's eyelids narrowed slightly, and he continued, "Is this the kind of service attitude in your firm? The guests came, and they didn't even see each other. ”
The woman behind the curtain was silent for a moment, and then teased, "When you meet, you also have to charge. And it's not cheap. ”
Char raised his hand, and three gold rings appeared on the table.
The woman on one side took the ring away and walked behind the curtain.
The woman took the gold ring from the woman's hand, looked at it carefully, and played with it in her hand.
She raised her hand, and the woman pulled the curtain back.
Behind the curtain was an unusually beautiful girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
has long soft dark green hair, the overall face is narrow and long, and the facial features are very three-dimensional, delicate and cold with a little glamorous. Her facial features are thin, her eyes are narrow and long, her lips are thin, her upper lip is thinner than her lower lip, and she is slightly upturned, which makes people feel charming and a little weak. The eyebrow bone is three-dimensional, the nose bridge is straight, the nose tip is round and small, slightly upturned, weak and aggressive. At the same time, it can be seen that her face is very folded, and her three-dimensional and exotic facial features are not abrupt at all.
There is a feeling of oriental skin mixed with western bone phase, which is very amazing.
Char smiled, "It looks like it's worth it." ”
"What do you want to ask?" The woman said.
"Are you short of money?" Char said.
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and she teased, "Is that your problem?" ”
"Ding~"
The crisp sound of metal echoed in the air, and a gold ring was bounced up by Char and flew towards the woman.
She caught the gold ring with precision, and looked at the stranger in front of her with a slight frown.
Truth be told, he was the strangest of all the counselors she had ever received.
"Okay." "It's enough," she said. ”
She raised her eyes to look at Char, "Is this the only one you have in question?" ”
"What's your name?" Char continued to ask.
Another gold ring was bounced at the woman again.
"You can call me Akasya." She said.
Char's eyelids twitched and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, this was the name he had given Sissi in the first place.
Yes, the woman in front of her is Sissi, her daughter.
She is now doing this kind of information consulting work in the imperial capital, she can ask any question, and the insight and connections brought by the long years have provided her with a huge intelligence network.
But she didn't start doing this kind of work for a short time, only a few years.
She has the immortality that Char gave her, which also makes it impossible for her to stay in the same place for long, and moved to Europe some time ago.
However, due to the war, she had to change her plans and move back to Britannia, which caused her to lose a lot of money in the flight.
"Are you here to ask questions, or are you here for a blind date?" Akasha asked with interest, "If you're the latter, then I'm sorry."
She raised her head slightly, like a proud white swan, "I have no interest in rich people." ”
She expected the man in front of her to look a little embarrassed.
But to her surprise, he smiled and smiled happily.
"It's a very correct perception, keep it up, men don't have a good thing."
Akasha stared at Char quietly, "You seem to be a man too." ”
"It doesn't matter." Char said.
After a pause, he continued, "I want you to find me someone. ”
"Name." Akasha said.
"Warsha Monique." Char called out a name, "She's an eighteenth-century person, to be precise, I'm trying to find her descendants, and he also has an older brother named Helang Monique." ”
It wasn't difficult for Char to find a few people, and he didn't come here to find people, just to meet Sissi.
Acacia pondered for a moment, "The offspring of an eighteenth-century woman. It's a bit challenging. ”
She raised her eyebrows and teased, "That's not a low price. ”
Char raised his hand and reached into his sleeve, took out a title deed and put it on the table, "I am in the center of the imperial capital, and there is a mansion with a courtyard of 4,300 square meters. ”
"Just a piece of land." Akasha tried to bargain with disdain, but after she heard Char's words clearly, her expression froze instantly.
She looked at Char in disbelief, "Where!? How much flat !? ”
"The center of the imperial capital." Char said, "Four thousand three hundred square meters, a villa of 1,300 square meters, and a courtyard of three thousand square meters." ”
The houses in the city center themselves are expensive, not to mention the center of the capital, which is the root of the imperial city in the words of the old BJ.
Akasha softened her emotions a little, and she stared at Char for a moment, "The mansion in that place is not something that money can buy. ”
"It could be that you didn't give enough money." Char said.
"It seems that that the descendants of that person are important to you."
"Sort of, entrusted by someone." Char said.
"Give me a week." "After a week, you'll receive their address. ”
Char smiled and slowly got up from his seat.
"Aren't you going to take things with you?" Akasha pointed to the title deed.
"Let's put you here first." Char said, "If you find someone, a lawyer will come to you to close the property." ”
After saying that, Char slowly left here.
Akasha stared silently at Char's departing back without saying a word.
She put the gold rings on her hand, and studied them carefully through the light cast by the window, and after a long time she said.
"What a strange guy."
She raised her head and looked at the woman who had just received Char on the side, "What do you think?" Lisa. ”
"I don't feel anything." Lisa said expressionlessly, "But what I do know is that if you don't take this order, we may not even be able to afford to live in this house." ”
She reached out and grabbed Akaxia's hand, and then prepared to take off the golden ring from her hand.
Akaxia's reaction was quick, and she hurriedly protected her gold ring.
"What are you doing?"
"Take it to pay off the loan." Lisa said.
"Repay the loan?" Akasha reacted, "Where's our money?" ”
Lisa continued to say with a blank face, "Do you want to take a look at the sixteen expensive sports cars parked in the garage you rented, including Mercedes and Rolls-Royce, and nine mechs of different models. ”
"That's an investment!" Akasha said conclusively, "Those are all discontinued models, and they will be worth a lot of money in the future!" ”
"You can't afford to eat now, my eldest lady." Lisa said helplessly.
Seeing that she still didn't plan to hand over the gold ring, Lisa continued, "Okay, I'll go and sell all those things in your garage, and I'll see how much they're worth." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Akasha was directly anxious.
"Eh!" Akasha hurriedly shouted, "I haven't said I won't give it yet." ”
Lisa turned her head and looked at her quietly.
Akasha muttered a few words, and then reluctantly took off the rings in her hand and handed them to Lisa.
"When this order is completed, will we have the money?" Akasha asked.
Lisa nodded, "It depends on whether you want to live or sell." ”
"What do you mean?"
"If you sell it, you can get a sum of money that ordinary people can't spend in their lifetime, but if you live
Such a large villa is to be maintained, and there needs to be an investment every year.
So my suggestion is to just sell it. ”
Akasha shook his head, "No, how can you sell it, the war has only stopped for a few years, and it is the time for the economy to recover, such a large piece of land in the city center, after a few decades, it will definitely have to be multiplied several times."
And I have a place to put my cars and mechs, so I don't have to rent a warehouse. ”
She looked up, "Anyway, let's finish the commission first, Lisa, you go investigate." ”
Lisa nodded, then bowed to Acaccia and slowly retreated.
Instead of going straight to the commission, she walked through several blocks and soon found Char, who was walking slowly down the street.
She stepped forward quickly and bowed to Char, "Sir." ”
Char stopped and slowly looked at the woman beside her.
She is the artificial person that Char arranged for Sissi in the first place.
But obviously, after the baptism of the years, her every move is more humane and more like a real person.
"You're doing a great job." Char said.
He slowly raised his hand and handed her a piece of paper.
"This is the address of that family, you can just give it to her when the time comes."
"She has a terrible view of money, she can spend as much as you give her." Lisa said helplessly.
"Good thing." Char nodded, "Buy something you like, it's nothing." I've been paying for the maintenance of the villa for 30 years, and you don't have to worry about the rest, if you really don't have the money, you can sell it. ”
Lisa smiled helplessly, "My lord, you call this doting. ”
Char's eyes lowered, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice.
"I didn't give her much love."
