Alex looked innocent, looked at Gro and said, "How did I become a profiteer?"

Gro said unceremoniously: "You are not a profiteer, one positive and one negative is the difference between two and a half gold coins!"

Alex was even more innocent: "But this is all the market price, there is a limit to exchanging gold coins for crystal coins, and I offer a ratio of one for thirteen, which is enough for conscience." ”

"That's a profiteer, too. "I'd better go and exchange it from someone else." ”

Alex: "......"

At this time, Richard opened his mouth and asked Alex, "What else can you do besides the accidents you just said?"

"The rest. Alex's eyes flashed, and he carefully glanced around with a pair of fine eyes, and found that no one was too close, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "I can also do some business that doesn't see the light, such as getting some forbidden materials and spell books, or asking some gangs in the city to help deal with people you don't want to see, or hiring some wandering wizard apprentices in the city to serve you at a high price." ”

"Is that all?" asked Richard.

"Well, isn't this enough......" Alex said, his eyes rolling rapidly, racking his brains to recall all his business scope, "The rest is to help you sell some things that you can't use for the time being, help you pay attention to the information that you need things in the market, and rent a house for you......"

"Rent a room?" Richard interrupted Alex and asked in confirmation, "can you do this?"

For Richard, after spending so many days in his dorm room, he really wanted to rent a house outside of the White Rock Tower. It's not that it's a bit risky to move out of the dormitory right now, but it can be used to do some experimental research in your spare time - in the dormitory, many experiments are impossible due to space and privacy issues.

After listening to Richard's words, Alex's eyes lit up and he felt that there was business coming to his door, and he replied repeatedly: "I can do it, of course I can do it." I have the most information about the most rental houses in White Rock City, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking for me. ”

"How about taking me there now?" asked Richard.

"Now?" Alex wiped his sweat, stunned.

Just now he followed Richard and Groh all the way, and he still hasn't slowed down, and after listening to Richard's words, his legs are a little weak. But at the thought that there might be coins in his pocket, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Alright, let's go. ”

"Forehead ......"

......

Soon, Richard, Gro, and Alex arrived at the location of a rental courtyard in White Rock City.

Before he entered the courtyard, glancing at the street, Richard denied: "No." ”

"Ahh

"The location is a bit poor and too noisy. Richard pointed to the constant flow of pedestrians on the street.

"Noisy...... It's good to be noisy. Alex tried to persuade, "Noisy is popular, noisy is lively, I like noisy the most...... Call...... I ......"

Richard didn't say a word, just looked at Alex, who and Richard looked at each other and suddenly shut up.

"Whew...... Okay, okay, I'll take it and see the colder places...... ...... "Alex said, striding effortlessly forward.

Half a ring, to the location of the second rental house, this place is indeed much colder than before.

However, Richard glanced at it and denied it: "No." ”

"Ahh

"It's so easy to be peeped at. Richard pointed around, "There, there, there, all high-rise stone buildings, and if you look at this courtyard, you can see everything." ”

"That's good. Alex tried to persuade," someone looked, exhaled...... It shows that it is popular. I wish people would look at me, and I don't close the door when I take a shower...... Call...... Forehead ......"

Richard was silent.

Alex shut up again and looked at Richard: "Really?"

"Not really. ”

"Gotcha!" Alex said through gritted teeth, a little harsh, "Then I'll take you to the next place." ”

......

The third place.

The fourth place.

Fifth, Sixth, Seventh......

Alex walked with Richard for almost the whole afternoon, feeling like he was collapsing, and finally stopped in front of the dozen rental houses that he couldn't remember, pointed to the house in front of him and said, "Whew...... Call...... It's cold and private, easy to get into, and the walls are high enough to prevent prying eyes, everything is what you want. ”

"Definitely. Richard nodded, but then raised an eyebrow, "But do you think it's a little small?"

"Huh?!" Alex was a little broken, and he felt the urge to turn around and run away - not with such a torment!

"Well, it's a little small, but it's not unacceptable, right? Call...... Small also has small benefits, it doesn't seem so empty, and it's easy to clean...... Call...... Forehead ......"

Richard was silent.

Alex shut up, looked directly at Richard for a while, and said on the verge of collapse: "Is it really not good?"

"Under the same conditions, it would be better to be bigger. Richard said.

"Well, then ......" Alex hesitated, the expression on his face distorted slightly, and suddenly thought of something, took a deep breath and said, "Actually...... There is one place that fits your requirements perfectly. But ......"

"But what?"

However, the house is said to be haunted inside. Alex had a frightened expression on his face, "There have been three tenants in a row, the longest one has stayed for less than half a month, and the shortest one has not even stayed for three days.

They all said that there were ghosts wandering around the courtyard, and that the doors of the courtyard and houses would be knocked on from time to time in the middle of the night. If you don't mind, the place can be handled cheaper for you. ”

"Then let's go check it out. ”

"That's fine, but I have a request. Alex said.

"What requirements?"

"Let me take a break — five minutes, I can't really walk now. Alex said.

"Forehead ......"

......

In a few moments, Alex, who had enough rest, led Richard to the front of the haunted courtyard.

Pointing to the courtyard next to the street, Alex said: "Look at it, the area is large enough, the location is cold enough, the access is convenient enough, there are no high stone buildings around, and there is no peeping at all, everything meets your requirements." Apart from...... Haunted outside. ”

Richard glanced at it and said, "That's it." ”

"Huh?" Alex's eyes flashed, as if he didn't understand.

"Like you said, it ticks all my boxes. "So, I decided to rent it." ”

"But don't you really think about the haunting? I can remind you now, I won't give you the money back if you can't live in it for a while. Alex reminded.

"No, you can rest assured. Richard shook his head and added, "Even if you can't live in it, the money will never be returned." ”

"Well, that'...... Five silver coins a month, with gold coins, can give you a ratio of 1:30, how long are you going to rent it?"

"A year, these are three gold coins, you take it. Richard said, placing the three gold coins in Alex's hand.

Alex's eyes flashed: "Wrong calculation, right? A year, shouldn't it be sixty silver coins - two gold coins?"

Alex became indignant and full of a sense of justice, and said loudly: "I am a person with a very good conscience, don't try to test me and bewitch me with such small means!"

"Don't think about it, the extra gold coin is just a hard money for you. After all, it's hard for you to run all afternoon. ”

"Well, that's it. Alex's eyes lit up immediately, "I can accept this!"

Alex can also get a cut from the rent, but it definitely doesn't have more than one gold coin. The windfall of a gold coin simply overjoyed him.

Quickly putting away the gold coin, Alex looked at Richard, and said with burning eyes: "That's all there is to say, if you have any problems in the future, just ask me, and I will definitely help you solve it-I have made up my mind for this friend of yours! Tomorrow I will ask someone to write the contract and bring it to you." ”

"Hmm. Richard nodded, not mindful.

Suddenly, Alex's eyes flashed, and he scratched his head and looked at Richard and asked, "By the way, my dearest friend, there is something I have to ask, I hope you don't mind." ”

"What?"

"What's your name?"

“......”
