Chapter 727: A Waste of Money

It wasn't long before Richard and Galead were outside the city, walking along narrow country lanes into the distance.

Passing by a small village, Richard suddenly pulled on the reins of his horse and stopped, looking to the side of the road.

I saw that a few hundred meters away from the roadside was a large area of flat land surrounded by a wall, which was a manor. The manor is very magnificent, there are several stone buildings in the middle, and between the stone buildings and the stone buildings, there are paved bluestone paths, so that you don't have to worry about muddy water on your boots on rainy days.

There was nothing to Richard's liking, and the estate was very large, with a small lake near it, a grove of trees, and a small river running through it.

In the eyes of others, this is just a beautiful scenery, but in Richard's eyes, it is a free water source and convenient water power.

Many of the experiments he did required water, and although he could use spells to draw water, it was definitely not as convenient as directly treating the river. In addition, through water power, it is also possible to do some experiments in the manor, and the province has to run into the Garden of Eden every time.

After a few glances at the manor, Richard already had an idea in his heart, stretched out his hand, and asked Gare, "What is the situation of this manor?"

"Huh?" said Gare, who was in front of him, carefully stopping his horse, looking towards the manor pointed by Richard, "Master, this manor should belong to the Count of Ral. Count Lal is a relatively powerful nobleman in Jialan City, and he uses this manor to house the side members of his family, so the area is relatively large and the price is relatively high. ”

After a pause, Galie continued: "Master, we have to walk a little longer to get to the manor that we have to see. The area will be a little smaller than this, but ...... The rest is good, you don't have to worry. ”

"I'm not worried. Richard said, looking up at Sun Dao, who had crossed the middle line, "I'm just thinking, when I get to those manors, why will it be in the afternoon, right? If the purchase contract is finalized and the cleaning is done, I shouldn't be able to live in it today." ”

"This ......," Galie thought for a moment and said frankly, "it is indeed possible. ”

"So be it. Richard said, pointing to the roadside manor again, "Just buy this manor." ”

"But, master, there is no news of this estate for sale. ”

"It doesn't matter. I ask you, if this estate is to be sold, what price do you think is appropriate?"

"This ...... Why do you need six or seven thousand gold coins, maybe it can reach eight thousand gold coins. Galie guessed, and then explained the reason, "Count Lal is very rich, and if he really sells it, he will definitely not be in too much hurry to sell it, and the price will be too high." ”

"Then you go and tell the people of this manor, I am going to pay twice the price, and ask them if they want to sell it. If it is sold, the condition is that everything must be taken care of today, and I will live in it at night. Richard said calmly.

"Ahh......h

"Tentatively set up fifteen thousand gold coins, and I will pay in crystal coins according to the proportion. Richard said, then glancing at Gare, "Don't be stunned, go and ask." ”

"Uh, yes. Galie swallowed hard and rode towards the stone buildings in the manor, his brain dazed.

It wasn't until he finalized the nearly impossible business under the suspicious eyes of the owner of the manor, and then took a heavy bag of crystal coins from Richard and handed it to the owner of the manor, and completed a series of contracts, that he woke up like a dream.

Before, he was still a little skeptical about "hugging a thigh", but now he is extremely sure that he really hugged his thigh.

The only problem is that this thigh is a little thicker than you think. Not to mention anything else, at least from the aspect of money, it has already hit his worldview very hard.

That's fifteen thousand gold coins!

......

Richard didn't care about this, he paid fifteen thousand gold coins, and he didn't feel much at all when he got the treasure of the Black Spirit King.

To his satisfaction, the owner of the manor, with the power of money, was more efficient than he thought. In order to prevent him from breaking the contract, the owner of the manor took the money, only took some more precious decorations and antiques, got into the carriage and left, leaving most of the heavy furniture of the manor to him.

There were five maids and eight manservants who remained with them. These servants were from nearby villages, and because they were relatively close, they worked on the estate. When the owner of the manor left, it was impossible to take them away, so he simply left them to him.

After thinking about it, he threw the thirteen men to Gareel, and let them be managed, and the wages were paid according to the previous amount. The first thing they had to do was to clean up the manor's rooms, and clean him out of a bedroom, a study, and a laboratory.

In this way, after dinner in the evening, he had already sat in his new study and began his formal life in Jialan City.

Everything went smoothly.

......

However, sitting behind the desk in the study, Richard frowned slightly, and saw a lot of invitations piled up on the desk.

Was it left behind by the original owner?

Why didn't you clean it up?

Richard thought about it, and opened a few casually, but found that it was not left by the original owner, but many nobles in the city specially invited him to a banquet, starting with "Lord Wizard from afar".

What's the situation?

After thinking about it, Richard pulled a string on the wall.

The brass bell rang, and Galie, who had just been promoted to a butler, hurriedly walked in.

Richard pointed to the invitations on the table and asked, "Why are there so many invitations?"

"Ah, that's right, master. Galie quickly explained, "After you bought this manor at a high price during the day, the news spread, after all, you made a ...... It's just too generous. Many nobles in the city want to have a relationship with you, so they all sent people to send invitations. I didn't dare to deal with it casually, so I had to put it on your desk. ”

"That's it. Richard nodded, and continued, "If there is a similar invitation in the future, as long as you don't know someone, you don't need to give it to me." I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to socialize among the nobles, understand?"

"Yes. Galie quickly replied, already knowing a little bit of his character as a wizard master, and asked in a low voice, "What about these invitations on the table now, master?"

Richard waved his hand and said, "You can take it and throw it away, or find a random place to put it away, and don't bother me anymore." ”

"Yes. Galie said, quickly picked up the thick stack of invitations on the table, saluted Richard, and cautiously exited the door.

Leaving the stone building where Richard was, Galie took the invitation and walked towards the kitchen, ready to burn it all. But when he got to the kitchen door, after thinking about it, he went back to his room, locked the invitations in a box left by the owner in front of the manor, and muttered: "What if, the master will be useful in the future?"
