Chapter 50: Settling In
After finally making the decision to meet the king, the few people had no intention of continuing to chat, and soon dispersed.
However, it is worth mentioning that just as Xue Hua was about to go to the tavern proprietress and rent a few rooms in this "Yelin" tavern with a fairly good environment as a place to stay, Farah looked at him with surprised eyes.
"Xue, haven't you opened that extra gift I gave you?"
"Uh... Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot ......" Xue Hua smiled embarrassedly.
After the Battle of Stone Fields, Kane approached him and told him that if he accepted Farah's invitation, he would receive an additional gift.
Later, at Kane's persuasion, he finally agreed to help the Mage Society find the tomb of Talasya.
So, he got an extra small wooden box from Kane.
And since he had been busy with the ruins of the castle that Zagala had found after receiving the wooden box, he had forgotten about it.
There were so many miscellaneous things in his belongings space that if Farah hadn't reminded him at this time, I'm afraid he would never have remembered the little box lying in the corner.
Farah shook her head and said, "Open it up, I don't think you need to rent a tavern. ”
"Huh?" Xue Hua was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the small red wooden box from the item space, and then opened it to see that there was actually a key and a house deed inside.
The address of the deed is located in the center of the upper town, and judging by the contents of the deed, it should be a small two-story villa-style residence.
"What is this?" Xue Hua took the key and looked up at Farah in some shock.
"Haha! You come to help us, I don't dare to promise anything else, but at least I can't let you stay in a hotel! Farah smiled and continued as she walked out.
"Don't worry, it's an idle property of the Mage Guild, although it's not big, but it's still good as a place to stay."
"Uh... Okay, then I'll stay first, thank you~"
Xue Hua was not hypocritical, and accepted the key calmly.
In terms of his abilities, a single-family house is really nothing, although it is located in the heart of the upper city, which can almost be said to be a piece of land, but it is a house after all.
Sooner or later, Xue Hua would have to leave Lu Gaoin and continue his travels, and although this residence was said to be given to him, it was actually only a place to stay for his adventures in the desert.
For all adventurers who aspire to enter the second world, a dwelling is always the least valuable thing in the first world.
The group soon left the Yellin Tavern, and the proprietress Atma eventually emerged from the grief and pain of the past under Sothia's persuasion.
She promised Sothia not to tell anyone what she heard for the time being, but she also begged Sothia and the others to try to stop the king's madness and prevent the tragedy of decades ago from happening again in Rugoin.
The carriage of the Mage Society sent Xue Hua and the Rog sisters to their new residence, and then headed for the Mage Council headquarters, Kane did not live with Xue Hua, he said that he would go to the Mage Council headquarters first, study the information about the ancient tomb of Tarasya, and see if he could find anything.
Xue Hua was reluctant to force his decision, so he had to stand at the door of his new home with the two girls, watching the carriage go away.
"Alright, from today onwards, this is our home!" Watching the carriage disappear around the corner, Xue Hua turned his head, hugged the soft waists of the two girls, and looked at the white domed villa in front of him with a cheerful expression on his face.
The size of this residence is not very large, but it is extraordinarily exquisite.
In addition to the typical Arabic decoration, it also has a small courtyard with a courtyard wall, the gate of the courtyard is locked, Xue Hua took out the key, opened the iron door, and walked in with two blushing girls.
In the small courtyard there are two small flower fields, planted with drought-tolerant flowers that are quite local characteristics, and in the middle of the two flower fields is a winding stone path, and on either side of the path are two small magic street lamps, and at dusk, the wooden claw pads at the top of the street lamps are slowly lighting up with a faint beige light.
This thing is a by-product of the experiments of the former Hradim mages, and it is beautiful and safe, unlike torches and oil lamps, which can set the house on fire if you are not careful.
But this thing is also very expensive, if you want to make it available every day, you have to inject mana into it every few days, and it can't be touched, it's easy to break, and the price is not cheap, so the common people can't afford it, even if it's a little bit of aristocrats, it's hard to afford it.
From this point of view alone, Farah can be regarded as doing his best for him, but it's a pity that Xue Hua doesn't think he will have time to keep this thing in a working state......
Xue Hua led the two girls along the stone path to the house at the end, and under the light of the street lamp, the white two-story building seemed to be plated with a soft golden coat, which looked particularly moving and beautiful.
The style of the small building is also typical of Arabic architectural style.
The round top lid has a sharp bump, like a spire left after squeezing cream, and it can even whet the appetite of some foodies.
In front of the portico there is a row of white columns with delicate carvings at the upper and lower ends.
There was still a beautiful carpet at the door, and the two girls couldn't even bear to step on it with their shoes on it, so they forced Xue Hua to take off his shoes outside the door.
But don't say it, this carpet is really soft to step on, and it's obviously not a bargain.
When I opened the door, the floor inside the door was also covered with soft carpets, and the decoration in the whole room was exquisite and elegant, which was very similar to the feeling of Xue Hua's Arabian seaview villa in his previous life, of course, it was the retro kind.
"It's a nice place!" Anne looked at her in a daze.
But Funia disappeared in a puff of smoke, and it was a long time before her coquettish cry of surprise came from a room in the inner room.
"Wow~~"
"What's wrong? Funia? Xue Hua was startled, thinking that something had happened, but he ran over to take a look, only to find that this girl had actually found the kitchen in the house with only intuition......
"You girl, you definitely chose the wrong profession at the beginning......" Xue Hua leaned against the kitchen door, looking at the little things that were almost sleeping in the kitchen, and turned around to look at Anne, the two of them had helpless expressions on their faces.
After coaxing and tricking Funia out of the kitchen, Xue Hua took them to the second floor of the house.
The second floor of the house is still not big, there are only two bedrooms, but they are also very exquisitely furnished, and the two girls quickly fell in love with the one with the window near the flower field, and "domineering" it "occupied" it.
Xue Hua was helpless, so he had to rub their little heads dotingly, and then went with them.
After a simple packing, their luggage was quickly settled, so Funia went downstairs to make a hearty dinner with ready-made ingredients from the kitchen to treat their stomachs to digest nearly half a month's worth of dry food (they could stop cooking in the first half of the trip, and it was almost impossible to stop in the second half of the trip). )
Anne, like a little butler, began to look up and down the room so that she could know what to expect.
Xue Hua was idle, so he had to lean on the comfortable cushions in the living room and watch Anne go about there.
A few minutes later, just as Xue Hua's eyelids began to slowly become heavy, Isa's voice suddenly emerged from the mind of the main nest.
"Juggernaut, you're in the free stage, can you check out the adjutant briefing on the work of the swarm?"
"Uh... Not... Okay, okay, come on, I'll listen~" Xue Hua opened his eyes helplessly, cheered up, and prepared to start listening to Isha's report on the intelligence summary of the swarm during this time.
It's been more than ten days since he sent Dehaka into the mysterious sand dunes, and I wonder how the collection of genes is going.
And the case of the swarm fleet.
Six days have passed since Stokoff reported to Xue Hua that the fleet had completed all the preliminary preparations and was ready to move towards the target beacon location, and since the fleet had completely left the coverage of the main nest mind, Xue Hua was now completely unable to contact Stokoff.
He also wanted to know what was going on with the fleet.
And the development of the hive base that Zagala is in charge of, the progress of Abasser's research, and the star spirit phase technician Kyreus, what is he thinking about?
Ay... I thought I could have a night of leisure, but I didn't expect there to be so many things waiting for me~
Xue Hua sighed helplessly, and then concentrated his mind on the mind of the main nest.
