Chapter 62: Low Prices

The sun rises slowly in the east, spreading the light of the "Eternal Sun" on the earth.

Since the weather is still relatively cold, the sun's rays on the ground can't help but add a little cold brilliance to this long-suffering land.

A rough native of the Southern Continent who got up early to the morning carried what he needed for his labor, and was ready to go to the docks near the sea next to the Paz Valley to find some work to do.

He rubbed his eyes as he walked forward, yawning and moving his shoulder as he passed an alley, but his gaze suddenly froze as the corner of his eye swept over the alley.

"Ahh

This honest resident of the Southern Continent couldn't help but scream after seeing the scene, and fled to the side like crazy.

As he ran wildly, he shouted:

"Monsters, there are monsters!"

"Someone died!"

In the alley he passed, there was a corpse with outstretched hands and stiff resting it at his sides, showing a corpse that was limp on the ground.

Around the corpse, the hairy corpse with obvious twisted and evil tendencies was thrown around unevenly.

The whole scene is full of bloody rituals, blood is wantonly smeared all around, and the corpse constitutes a huge blood-colored "cross" totem!

The fragments and dried blood dripping here and there were symbolic signs, and some of the black strips of wood that grew on the corpse were covered in some of the bewildering patterns.

It seems that as long as you look up for a while, the whole person will go crazy because of it.

After the inhabitant of the Southern Continent had left for a long time, several men in ragged black robes walked indifferently and feverishly towards the alley, pulling out the sharp structure of the corpse with their hands, and fanatically touching and kissing it.

On the ground of the alley, dots of red patterns spread out in all directions, making the scene even more sinister.

…………

"Are you going to buy a piece of land here? Are you ready to open a factory and plantation here? ”

The somewhat short and fat, but rather formally dressed man from the Northern Continent couldn't help but reread what the middle-aged man in a suit in front of him had just said to him, and couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.

It's crazy! Who would come to the Southern Continent to buy land at this time?

If those who are still in the Northern Continent don't know the current situation of the Southern Continent, because of the lack of information circulation, in their eyes, the Southern Continent is likely to be a treasure land full of money and wealth.

But for the merchant in front of him, whose skin had obviously been darkened by the sun, and who had obviously been trading with the surrounding area for a long time, this employee believed that it was obviously impossible for him not to know about the recent situation in the Southern Continent.

The recent collision and friction between the two regions of East and West Byran seems to be due to the problems caused by the contradictions between the countries of the northern continent in the colonies.

This alone is enough to make people feel anxious, not to mention the various local organizations.

Now there is a rampant Rose Sect in East Bailang, and there are chaotic elements such as the Aurora Society, pirates and illegal colonists in various countries, this man in charge of helping the Northern Continent Company to carry out local real estate transactions obviously can't imagine that under such circumstances, which rich business will buy land here to start some industries?

Even if it was possible to find workers and serfs here at relatively low prices, now everything has changed.

Maybe the real estate that you bought in desperation today will be burned down tomorrow by the "Creator Salvation Society", and the day after tomorrow, even your own net worth will be looted by members of the "Rose School"!

The staff of this company subconsciously thought that if it weren't for the company's multiple times the honorarium, and he couldn't go back because of the contract with the company, he also wanted to go back to the Rune Kingdom now to live a relatively stable life......

As far as he knew, even if Beckland of the Kingdom of Rune had been dealt a fatal blow, the middle-class people living in the "Jowood" district and the old men in the "Queen" district were not harmed at all!

After working here for a few years, he felt that he could go back to Beckland and buy a house in Jowood!

The employee subconsciously thought about it and swallowed the words that he almost blurted out just now into his stomach.

If he can sell one more piece of land, he will be able to get an extra commission and return to his hometown sooner. Of course, he wouldn't have taken the liberty of reminding the businessman in front of him of what he knew.

"What kind of land do you need? Our company's business scope is very large, whether it is East Bailang or West Bailang, our company has a certain land deed inventory. ”

"The price of land in West Bailang is relatively low, and if you want to open a factory or plantation here, you can buy a factory land that is several times the size of the Kingdom of Rune for less than 10,000 gold pounds."

The employee's tone was quite sincere: "But now the land price in East Bailang is higher than that in West Bailang, but East Bailang is still safer, after all, there are churches and extraordinaries of the Church of the Night, unlike West Bailang ...... now"

As he spoke, the employee sighed.

Crane held his left hand behind his back, his gloves lit up slightly; There was no touch on his face, and he casually flipped through the booklet in front of him with the land prices of the two regions written in front of him, and his ears moved slightly after hearing the employee's words.

The extraordinary? Is the concept of the Extraordinary so widespread here?

Klein felt a little puzzled for a while, knowing that although there are more people who know that there are extraordinary people now, they are smart enough not to talk nonsense outside, for fear that they will be invited over for tea by the official extraordinary people.

But why is it that a random person here can say the information of the Extraordinary in such a casual tone? Is the occult so widespread here?

However, since he is a native of Rune, and only mentions the Goddess of the Night and does not mention the Lord of the Storm, then he should not be a believer in other gods, and he should believe in the goddess......

Klein, who used the "mind-reading" ability in "Creeping Hunger", was a little cautious.

"Are you a believer in the goddess?"

He said in the tone of Dwayne Dantès with a gentle face, looking at the real estate employee in front of him, with a slight smile in his words:

"I don't think it's very common for people who believe in goddesses here."

He maintained a gentle and elegant smile, maintaining the persona of Dawn Dantès, a middle-aged gentleman, and said to the real estate employee in front of him. Klein was going to talk to the employee to see if he could find any other clues.

And "Klein" is holding a calm mood, with the help of the shell of "Dawn Dantès" to silently analyze the performance of this employee.

Although he is not a true psychologist, he has become more speculative about people's micro-expressions and psychological changes since his promotion to "Faceling" and the use of the "creeping hunger" grazing souls.

…… In terms of movement habits and tone of voice, he should be closer to the Rune. However, this is just my speculation, and maybe people in other countries also have the kind of culture that likes Rune and deliberately talks according to Rune's habits.

Everywhere there are people who like other cultures......

"How do you know?" The employee of this company looked at the gentleman in front of him with some surprise on his face.

Seeing this, Dwayne Dantès did not hurry to tap four times on his chest, drawing a "crimson moon" on his chest.

It seems that this also believes in goddesses, and he is afraid that he guessed it...... Seeing this scene, this employee couldn't help but understand.

Out of the gentleman's demeanor in front of him, the employee was also a little more relaxed. He stood up, took a pen and paper from the side, and complained casually:

"Praise be to the Goddess. Alas, don't say it, it's bad luck, I didn't expect this place to be like this. Speaking of which, you are the first goddess believer I have seen here, and most of the others are in East Bailang, unlike me, who have to endure danger here. ”

Knowing that the fellow Rune in front of him had the same beliefs as himself, the employee was obviously more casual, and of course, there was also an element of Klein's hints to the employee with the help of the herding "psychiatrist".

Enduring the danger...... Klein put down the booklet in his hand, tapped lightly on the table with the knuckles of his right hand, and asked with a deliberately puzzled look:

"I remember that the security here in Bailang was still very good? I had also been in East Bailang for a while. ”

The experience of doing business in East Bailang according to other identities belongs to the character of Dawn Dantès, and Klein is ready to start from the details to make this character more fleshed out, and he will not be found to be wrong when he returns to Beckland in the future.

"You haven't been here in a long time, have you? Well, it's okay to have a church with a goddess there. However, there are many terrorist organizations attacking Xibailang all day and night, such as the Aurora Society, an organization composed of natives who believe in death, and now there are a group of people around from time to time. ”

The employee pursed his lips, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Hehe, I heard that the natives of the Southern Continent also established a 'Creator Salvation Society' here when they heard that there was an evil god called the True Creator." ”

"I think these guys are some rebels, if they are honestly ruled by us, how can there be so many things in the Southern Continent?"

"We brought civilization to them, and they didn't even thank me!"

Colonized...... The rebels of Byam flashed through his mind, and Crane sighed in his heart.

He didn't pause in his tone and looked at the employee in front of him: "This land on the Star Plateau is only 5,000 pounds?" ”

5,000 pounds can only buy a small estate around Beckland, but in the southern continent you can buy a considerable piece of land.

What made Klein feel a little strange was that, not to mention the range that was not commensurate with the price, this land alone was in the lower part of the Star Plateau, and it was next to rivers and lakes.

This location is the best place for transportation in this era of low productivity. Why only £5,000 for such a good location?

Is this an ancient evil spirit with a sealed seal, or are all the owners of the house dead in it? Is this a murderous house?

Klein subconsciously associated it with "unlucky".

"It's good here, but maybe a little ...... Law and order issues. ”

The corners of the employee's mouth curved down slightly, and he still explained to Dawn Dantès in front of him with all his heart:

"It's not very safe here, but there are several villages and churches of the Eternal Sun. In general, there are no problems, and these documents have been officially recognized by the local colony of Intis and notarized by the Church of the Eternal Sun. ”

"However, a lot of people think it's not safe here, so it's dropped from 7,500 gold pounds all the way to 5,000 pounds, hehe, now we are selling this at a loss......"

The employee paused, and saw that the middle-aged gentleman in front of him seemed to be a little moved, and couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot:

"This title deed is now owned by our company - if you have your eye on this land, I can arrange for you to have a boat to see what is going on here, what do you think?"

"If you're willing to buy outright, well, I can give you an extra £100 reduction in the price, that's the limit of the company."

Seeing the gentleman in front of him nodding slightly, the employee wanted to remind something, but in the end he still pressed his beating conscience.

Some of the land deeds in the company's inventory have not been sold, which is also a big loss for their company, and their company does not have the ability to set up factories in the southern continent, so they can only occupy the company's funds in vain.

It is worth mentioning that they only spent £4,200 when they received the title deed, due to the fact that there are now rumors of demons and ghosts here. With guilt in his mind, the employee said tentatively.

"Absolutely."

Klein saw through the careful thinking of the employee in front of him at a glance, but he didn't care: "Then please arrange the time of the ship, if there is any news, you can come to this place to inform me." ”

It seems that there should be an extraordinary event in the local area, so that many people dare not pick up this bargain, even a considerable number of extraordinary people do not dare to pick up the bargain.

However, I can move in the Aurora Society, which has no place to live here, I can build a factory here, and I can hide my power here......

I'm not going to replicate the South American plantations here, at least to provide a basic wage for the workers here...... It's so hard, and I can't let my money fall into a situation where I can't make ends meet......

Ha, I've become mean, too.

The thought of calculating the wages of the colony like this made Klein grin like a "clown".

He laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart, reminding himself that he could not lose one's most basic conscience.

Of course, the premise is to take care of the Sun Church here, well, it's another expense, and it's a little distressing......

However, the price of this large piece of land is quite low, and if there are demons and xenomorphs here, I can take this opportunity to lower the price again, and the funds given to me by the goddess are not so sufficient......

Speaking of which, I was considered an extraordinary person for the living corpse crew before, and the money was approved, so I shouldn't have been found out by the church that I had reported false accounts, right?

Crane thought with some uneasy conscience, and handed the sticky note with the address of the hotel where he was now living to the employee opposite.
