Port of Brest, Old Mariner's Tavern.
"Mr. Uta, Mr. Fern just came...... "As soon as the Seahorse Mercenary Group entered, the tavern owner Selene greeted warmly.
"Oh, did he say anything?" asked Xia Zuo, who still remembered the things he had told Fern to help buy a manor, and Fern had been in operation in Brest for decades, so he must know more about this place than he did, and before the two of them separated, Xia Zuo also explained some of the manor's requirements.
"He said he'd come and see it in the evening!" said Selene laughed.
"Okay, thank you!"
A total of twenty or thirty members of the Seahorse Mercenary Group arrived, and they walked to the corner of the tavern.
"Hey, Paul!" Xia Zuo saw an acquaintance, the first mate on the Freesailor, and a group of sailors, all of whom belonged to Ferne's hired subordinates and worked for Ferne, and it was said that Paul had an income of twenty gold coins a month on the Liberty Mariner, which was definitely a high income.
"Mr. Uta......" Paul laughed and got up.
"Come, I'll introduce you to Alfred, the leader of the Seahorse Mercenary Regiment, this is Paul, the first mate on the armed merchant ship. Xia Zuo introduced the two to each other.
Paul seemed very enthusiastic, and although Alfred was also polite, he seemed to be lacking in interest in Paul, sailors and mercenaries, although they all pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers to make a living, but obviously the sailors as a whole were a grade lower, from the perspective of combat ability, the Seahorse Mercenary Group, any one person, could sweep everyone on Paul's side.
These are two completely different circles, and it just so happens that Xia Zuo on both sides knows each other, so they are introduced.
The sailors and mercenaries sat together, a total of sixty or seventy people, and occupied ten tables, but it seemed that the sailors occupied five tables, and talked about their own topics, all about going to sea. About the sea, about the Chamber of Commerce, and the mercenaries occupy four tables, talking about various task topics.
The last table was mixed, with Shazo, Alfred, Paul, and a few other high-ranking mercenary sailors sitting at the center.
And the people began to eat and drink. After a hearty drink, the time gradually moved to dusk.
"Mr. Uta!" Fern came, his shaggy face smiling heartily, and beckoned to Natsuzo as soon as he entered.
"Come on, here!" Xia Zuo smiled and waved.
A sailor voluntarily gave way, and Paul moved his position. Let Fern sit next to Xia Zuo.
"Fern, Captain and Boss of the Freesailor, Alfred, Captain of the Seahorse Mercenary Regiment,......" Xia Zuo pointed back and forth, introducing.
Alfred hurriedly reached out and shook Fern's hand, this time his attitude was indeed much more enthusiastic. Although Fern is not a huge rich, he is definitely a big businessman, and this identity is naturally worth befriending.
"Hahaha, Mr. Alfred, I've heard of the name of the Seahorse Mercenary Regiment for a long time, and it's my honor to meet you!" Fern laughed heartily and lowered his posture.
"Where to say. It should be my pleasure. Alfred laughed.
"Alright, you two guys, stop flattering each other, drink and drink!" Xia Zuo smiled, both of whom had a very hypocritical side.
"Come on, drink, brothers!" Alfred nodded repeatedly. Raised his glass.
All the mercenaries raised their glasses.
Fern and the sailors also raised their wine glasses, but looked at Xia Zuo with a somewhat surprised expression, he was not surprised that Xia Zuo had such an attitude, because Xia Zuo helped him a lot. It also brought him huge benefits, but what happened to this group of mercenaries, especially this amazing mercenary leader, there was no reason to treat Xia Zuo like this.
Listening to the tone of the two of them, it seems like an old friend for many years.
But the mercenaries are a group of very guys, and Fern knows that the Seahorse Mercenary Group is a local mercenary group, and it is quite famous, but Xia Zuo is from the Americas Big 6, and he has never been to France before, obviously they have only known each other for a few days.
He couldn't figure out why Alfred would treat a mechanic like Xia Zuo like this, and mercenaries and mechanics were also two completely incompatible industries.
This question was put in Fern's heart, he is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of it, and it is not an important question.
Three rounds of drinking.
The mercenaries and sailors were a little drunk, and they were shoulder-to-shoulder, and there was a lot of noise, for it was night, and all taverns were like this, and it was not a clean place, so as not to annoy people.
People who come to the tavern to drink just like the noisy atmosphere.
"How's going on at the manor?" Xia Zuo put down his wine glass and looked at Fern with drunken eyes.
"Hey, look at my brain!" Fern patted his head, looked at Xia Zuo and said: "I have already bought it, according to your requirements, it is big enough, secluded enough, there is only one town nearby, and the distance is also very far, and the price is not enough, but ......"
"But what?" asked Xia Zorren.
"Because no one has lived in it for a long time, some of them are dilapidated, and some places need to be renovated, and it is estimated that it will take half a month......" Fern looked at Xia Zuo, and his tone was slightly drunk, "If Mr. Uta is not in a hurry, wait for a while and then pass, if you go over immediately, maybe, the main house there has been completed......"
"Hmm...... I'm not in a hurry, is there enough money?" Xia Zuo nodded and asked again.
At that time, Xia Zuo gave Fern 250,000 yuan, and according to the previous agreement, as long as he gave 215,000, an extra 35,000, to buy a manor with force, which was enough to buy a medium-sized manor in any place in France except Paris.
"That's enough, don't worry, the manor promises to satisfy you, come on, come on, don't talk about this, drink!" Fern smiled and diverted the topic.
"You guy......" Xia Zuo saw some problems on Fern's face, pointed with a smile, leaned into Fern's ear and said, "Come to me early tomorrow morning and get 50,000 gold coins, get it well, I can't let you post money!"
"Ah, Mr. Uta......"
"Alright, don't talk about this, brothers, drink!"
Natsuzo smiled and slammed his glass on the table and raised it to the surroundings.
One call!
Both the mercenaries and the sailors raised their glasses and drank them down.
The other guests in the tavern looked sideways for a while, and they all guessed what the identity of this Uta was, he looked young and dressed in average, except for the giant sword leaning on the stool on the side, which looked special, there were no other features.
......
The next morning, while still asleep, Natsuzo was woken up by a sharp knock on the door.
Xia Zuo looked up at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, it was he who overslept, turned over and got out of bed, and ran to open the door.
"Ah...... Sorry for oversleeping! Come with me to the bank for a while, I don't have that much money on me. Xia Zuo yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"No, you listen to me......" Outside the door, Fern's face was apologetic: "This matter is my fault, I am willing to bear all the losses, but I didn't do it well." ”
"What's wrong?" Xia Zuoqing blinked.
"The manor, I just heard today, the manor is a murderous house, thirty years ago even the master and the servants of one hundred and seventy died, I heard that there are ghosts in the vicinity recently, at that time I wondered, how can 30,000 gold coins buy such a large manor, hey, my fault...... I'll go talk about checking out in a moment, the deposit has been paid, and I'll pay for the money!" Fern's tone was sorry, he had messed up.
"How much is the deposit?" Xia Zuo frowned slightly.
"Five thousand gold coins, Mr. Uta, don't worry, the loss will not be counted on your head!" Fern said.
"Oh, forget it, you just want that manor, you don't have to retreat, it's okay!" Xia Zuo said casually, yawning again.
"Mr. Uta, this can't be done, the manor hasn't been sold for thirty years, there's a big problem......" Fern was anxious.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's definitely a lie, it's going to be. "Xia Zuo doesn't care.
There's a big demon by his side, and there's a ghost?
Xia Zuo was too lazy to bother with this.
......
Midday.
"Master, are you going to fight today? The minibus is ready!" Bud, who had become a little bit, jumped up and down in the room, flying around, and the little Bud also changed a lot from before, mainly because he had a pair of extra wings, but the pair of horns did not appear, which was the most obvious sign of the big demon, and it would only be revealed when he was fully formed.
"Beat you up, it's to get money, no matter how I say it now, I'm also a member of the Seahorse Mercenary Group, let's go and see. Xia Zuo scolded with a smile.
"Shall I go, then?" said Bard, hanging upside down on the beam, gesturing with a small fork.
"I'm going, I'm going to ask you a question, can I put away this big sword...... Just like you did last time. Xia Zuo held up the black big sword and asked, the big sword of the Evil Ghost Knight, it is definitely worth more than one million when it is auctioned, it is extremely sharp and strong, it is too big, Xia Zuo is good to play casually, but if you take it for a long time, it is a little troublesome.
Last time, Xia Zuo saw with his own eyes that Bud wore the helmet of the Evil Ghost Rider, and when his body became smaller, the helmet would also become smaller.
"Well...... Bard's eyes became a little weird, and his big eyes rolled wildly and said: "It can be, but the master has to become a dark creature, and turning into a dark creature can stimulate the full power of this sword, and it can be ...... if it becomes bigger or smaller."
"When I didn't ask!" sighed Natsuzo, the ghost would turn into a dark creature.
"Master, the sword can be given to the minibus, the minibus will keep it for the master, absolutely no problem!" Bud rolled in the air and flew to Xia Zuo's side with a grin.
"Huh?" Xia Zuo thought and nodded: "This is a way, take it!"
......
Bartley Manor, villa hall.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"I guess I'm scared!"
"Yes, yes, the Seahorse Mercenary Group has always been a third-rate mercenary group, and it can't be changed no matter what!"
Shabi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood by the window and looked out, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was still a little nervous, but after the 'Wrath of the Three Elements' won to help, he was completely relieved.
Bartley Manor is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is not even a small town within ten kilometers of it, and it is difficult to find anything here.
