Chapter 021 The House Owner
The next morning, Don En opened his eyes and turned over, and his whole body suddenly "crackled" like fried beans.
"Damn!" Tang En helped his lower back and bared his teeth for a while: "Is this Nima a bone shrinking skill? Half of his life is gone!"
Since Don En's total blood and qi value had already reached the conditions for learning some skills, he was eager to learn skills last night.
After looking up and down, he decided to learn the bone shrinking technique first.
Tang En still remembered that the old butler had demonstrated to him the effect of bone shrinking in the past, "click, click, click", and the old butler, who was about six feet tall, instantly turned into a child, like a Transformer, which was really magical.
But when it was his turn to "click, click, click" - Nima had a broken bone......
According to the old butler, it was Donn's bones that had been finalized, and the best time to learn this skill had long passed. If you want to learn now, it is inevitable that the bones will be broken and reorganized.
Whenever the bones are broken too hard, the old butler cleanly seals the marquis, and the body is reorganized, okay, let's do it again......
So for about two hours, Donn's bones spent the cycle of interruption and recombination, during which the pain was really unbearable for a normal person. Fortunately, Tang En has been specially trained in pain, and although he has been howling miserably, he has not had a mental breakdown after all.
As soon as the two hours passed, Don lay in a faint in the system space, and slept until dawn.
Don changed the bandage on the wound, and the injury on his back was not yet healed, but according to this trend, it was a matter of two or three days.
When he went out, Tang En asked the innkeeper about buying a house in Laiyan City, and was told that he could handle it at the City Affairs Office.
The City Affairs Hall was located in the middle of Laiyan City, and after explaining his intentions, the lazy City Affairs Hall civil servant raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the wall, motioning for Tang En to look for himself.
There are several sticky notes on the walls, and it is clear that the size, location, and price of the house are all available.
After reading it, Don couldn't help but smack his tongue. The cheapest house above is 100 gold coins, and the most expensive house in Dongcheng District is priced at 200,000 gold coins. And Tang En only has a total of about a dozen gold coins, and he can't afford to buy any of them.
Prices are not cheap...... Don touched his nose and sighed.
"Sir, do you want to buy a house?"
"Huh?" Tang En turned his head in astonishment, and saw a half-grown teenager with a sharp body looking at him with a smile.
"But housing prices are too expensive, aren't they?"
Seeing Tang En's head, the young man said quickly: "The houses sold here can be counted on one hand, believe me, the old men of the City Affairs Department have never been business materials." I've grown up in Lai Rock City since I was a kid and know everything here. If you can trust me, I will help you find the right house. All you need to do afterwards is pay me 3 credits. ”
Don said noncommittally, "How do you make me believe what you say?"
"Sir, you may ask me. I know a little bit about the things in Laiyan City. ”
Don's heart moved: "I heard that a nobleman was assassinated yesterday......"
"Yes, sir. The deceased was named Deck Vinson, the eldest son of Viscount Deck's family, and the assassin was the first assassin of Lay Rock City, Ghostface. ”
Tang En opened his mouth and looked at the half-grown boy in front of him in a daze: "How do you know?"
The boy took out a stack of gray paper from his pocket and handed it over: "Sir, if you are interested, there are some details on it. ”
Don took it and opened it, and the paper read, "Viscount Deck's eldest son was assassinated", and below are some specific contents, including the ghost face of the assassin, some information about the Deck family, and some traces of the assassination scene. At the bottom of the page, a black-and-white drawing of an assassin wearing a grimace mask plunging a dagger into his opponent's chest. ...,
"What is this?"
"Lai Yan tabloid, sir. ”
"Newspaper?" Don was in a trance, and a ridiculous sense of time came to his mind. This kind of thing that he had never seen before, now made him feel the urge to burst into tears.
"Sir, sir...... How, have you decided to use me?"
"Okay, it's you. Tang En froze, pointed to the newspaper and said, "But you have to tell me first, where can I buy this?"
"Absolutely. At this time, the young man looked very excited, and said quickly: "Every morning, there are sales at the dock and in Dongcheng District. The price is 10 copper coins, so generally only the nobles of Dongcheng District and the merchants of the dock will buy it. ”
After a pause, the young man raised his head and said proudly: "The content on this is mainly about the business situation in various places and what you have seen and heard in the city. I would rather go hungry every day to buy it, and I know that this information will one day bring me wealth. ”
"You're sure to be an outstanding businessman. Don looked at the clever young man and said with emotion.
"Xiexie you, my name is Alan. ”
"Arthur ......"
............
In the residential area of the southwest corner of Laiyan City, in front of a small two-story attic.
"Mr. Arthur, this is it. This house is a few years old, but the inside is very well maintained. The area is not large, but there is a yard in the back. If it weren't for the owner's eagerness, ten gold coins would never have been able to buy this place. ”
As he spoke, Alan went up and knocked on the door.
In a moment, a slightly rickety old woman opened the door. I wasn't surprised to see that it was Allen, so I let them in when I got out of the way.
Alan said hello to the old woman, and took Don inside: "This is the owner of the house, and her son wants her to move in with them, so he sold the old house." ”
Don nodded, walked up and down the attic, and then went back to look at the courtyard.
Honestly, the house is just the ordinary way it looks. Although it is two floors, it is a single upper and single lower, and the area is relatively small. However, Donn was very satisfied with the terrain here. It is located in the southwest corner of Laiyan City, which is relatively remote, which is very suitable for him to live.
Whoa......
Just as Don was looking around in the courtyard, there was a sound of paper flipping in the courtyard of the adjacent house on the right.
Originally, the sound of the paper being blown by the wind was very soft, but in the courtyard next to it, there seemed to be hundreds of large pieces of paper being blown up, so the sound was in an uproar.
Alan explained on the side, "There's one living next to it, uh...... Painter, this is probably drying his paintings again. ”
Don nodded suddenly.
"This painter is not simple...... Allen said with a mysterious face.
"Oh, what famous painter is it?"
"I don't know if he's famous, but what he draws is terrifying. I'm talking about his identity is not simple, his name is Robert Bess, but he is the eldest son of our lord of Lai Rock City, Count Robert!"
"Well, ......it's him," Donn was stunned, and when Beven suddenly arrived at the Vincennes party, he had heard the young nobleman speak of this man, as if he were not liked by Count Robert.
"Tsk, I really can't figure it out, the eldest son of the good Earl of Haode is not appropriate, what kind of painter ......" Alan was obviously very unimpressed by Bass's actions.
"Is he staying here?" asked Don curiously. This earl's eldest son is too miserable.
"Mr. Arthur isn't from Lai Rock City, is he? This bass is a painting maniac, and he paints some weird things. The lord of the castle asked him to take care of the family's affairs, but he ignored it. One day, the lord of the castle tore up his sketch in anger, and as a result, he fell out. Later, Bess moved out of the Robert family to live here, and he didn't go out every day, but he devoted himself to painting, and he heard that the angry city lord wanted to cut off the father-son relationship with him. ”
"It's really wonderful...... "Sure enough, literature and art are a kind of disease!"
After a small hiccup, Don finally decided to buy the house.
The old woman simply accepted the money and gave the title deed to Donne, but Don would not be able to move in until tomorrow, after all, the old woman's things needed to be packed.
Going out, Don took five silver coins to an excited-looking Allen and asked him for the address. Tang En also saw that this Alan was indeed familiar with Lai Rock City, and he couldn't wait to ask him something one day.
Although there are still a few silver coins left in his pocket, Tang En's mood is not bad, and he is also a family with a house!
