Blood tax

Chapter 287

The two little boys came to the gate very smoothly, without any hindrance or hindrance.Just when they happily picked up the ball and were about to finish the game easily, the two raised their heads at the same time.

In front of them was an oak door, which was covered with messy scratches, like claws scratching, or unintentional graffiti.There is lightless darkness between the small cracks in the door, and there seems to be something moving.The little boys seemed to be attracted by some sound, staring at it, and slowly raised their hands to touch the door.

Oops!Griffith drew out his eyes and rushed forward.Just as he mobilized his blood to prepare for the battle, the two little boys were suddenly awakened.They turned around neatly, and walked back quickly with blank eyes.

"You've won," Griffith breathed a sigh of relief, and tossed the centimes to them. "Did you hear or see anything at the door?"

"No," the two little boys said in unison as if endorsing, "We will never go there again."

It seems that dangerous items with an ominous smell are stored in the warehouse. Considering that items related to the ancient gods may be sealed here, the danger is obvious.

A certain degree of defense is set up outside the warehouse, and objects exceeding a certain speed will be slowed down when approaching.If passers-by approach it unintentionally, they will be cursed with hints.Obviously, Homenwalts will not set up deadly traps in the streets, and the defensive measures are mainly to drive and hint.

Of course, if you try to force your way through after touching the outer layer's restrictions, you will most likely run headfirst into the inner layer's countermeasures.

There is nothing wrong with the school's handling measures. If the first layer of defense adopts aggressive strategy settings that may lead to dangerous measures or let the breath of dangerous goods disappear, then there will be riots here at any time, and there are many people who are spying on the secrets of the warehouse. Excuses and methods tear the line of defense.

There are also many gentler ways to enter the warehouse.For example, Griffith can start with the dances and dinners held by the principal or Professor Salorian, and then how to improve his favorability in academic and social aspects.However, the demigod spellcaster and spellbreaker become good friends...

I'm not the chosen one... Thinking of this, Griffith couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, turned around and walked to the nearby block, and came to the door of a real estate agency selling rental houses.

The store manager was sitting in the store with the store staff, and he saw the silver oak leaf knight eagle badge on Griffith's collar at a glance, and greeted him graciously: "Good afternoon, Sir Knight. Livable Company provides all kinds of clean, comfortable housing. We can provide the best rental and buying advice!"

"Buy." Griffith simply replied.

The store manager immediately received great encouragement, smiled and kindly laid out some information:

"We have a separate bedroom of [-] square meters, and share the living room, bathroom, and kitchen with the other two rooms. It is relatively small, but the price is reasonable, and it is very convenient to change hands.

"The second type is townhouses, without a garden, facing the street, and the entrance is the living room, but there are oriel windows on the upper and lower floors, which provide good lighting and are suitable for small families.

"The third category, the price is higher, with independent front and rear gardens and basement, two floors above and below, with a small attic, suitable for a family of four or five. Many teaching assistants in Homonworth buy real estate from us. !

"More expensive are the courtyards and manors in the suburbs, the price is in..."

A map of Baltimore town hangs on the wall of the store.The southeast of the town is Homenworth, and the coast, residential areas and commercial streets extend to the northwest in an arc, forming a gentle slope that is high in the west and low in the east.The lower terrain is the seaport, wharf and warehouse, and the higher gentle slope is the main block facing the west gate of the school.

The properties of Livable Company are mainly concentrated in the middle of the mountain in the northwest of the town, only two to 3000 meters away from the west gate of the school.

Griffith looked at the map, and said after a while: "Please tell me about the single-family house, with a garden and a basement, which can be rented or purchased for half a year."

"Oh——! Then you must not miss this," the store manager immediately took a sketch book from the clerk.

Exquisite painting skills present the characteristics and beauty of the cottage just right, without excessive exaggeration and embellishment.

"Master Knight, please allow me to introduce you to the single-family house on Huayue Street.

"The house faces south, the entrance is the living room and living room, the east wall is the kitchen and the fireplace, there is a washroom and a study room inside, which can also be used as bedrooms, and there are two rooms upstairs.

"Quiet and private. The terrace on the second floor can see the sea. The sound of the waves at night makes people sleep peacefully. The girls absolutely love it!"

The store manager led Griffith across two streets to the door of the single-family house.

It is not too far from Belia Street. It is located on a gently sloping hillside. Standing on the street, you can see the roof of the warehouse and the blue sea. It is secluded but has convenient transportation.

The busiest commercial street is separated from the hut and the Homemonwatts campus, less than half an hour's walk away.The foyer faces south and to the east is the fjord of the Calm Sea.

There are two south-facing oriel windows on the red stone brick wall. There are two small green lawns under the windows and in front of the door. You can enter the main door by climbing three steps.There is a peach tree under the east wall covering the quiet path leading to the backyard, which is quite a bit of wildness.

The store manager said: "As you can see, this is an independent courtyard, which is completely separated from the neighbors and does not disturb each other. A stable can be built on the lawn near the door on the west wall. We can help, but there is an extra charge.

"There are two floors above and below, with a half-person-height attic, and the basement is 25 square meters. It is very dry and strong, and there is no need to worry about water seepage. This building is the most eastern one. The backyard is higher than the road. You can enjoy the sea view and the sunshine is also very good. , but the price is also higher than those inside.”

Griffith looked around.They were standing on a slightly curved street, with gradually rising hills and lush forests to the north.He stomped his feet and asked, "Where's the foundation? Is it dirt or masonry?"

"The base of the wall is made of masonry, and there is a sewer buried under the road," the store manager said, pointing to the ground, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

Griffiths was greeted by an elegant living room, as spacious as the one at Homewatts, with a settee on a smooth oak floor, a cozy woolen rug on the floor, facing the Fireplace on the east wall.

A little further inward was a dining table for six, under a bright oriel window, from which delicate roses shook their buds.Sunlight shines through the glass onto the floor and the dining table, creating a lazy and friendly mood.

"Not bad," said the store manager quite proudly, "As long as you take good care of it, this is a cozy little nest. Does Sir Knight have a family?"

"No." Griffith was fantasizing about it.

The store manager led him to continue walking in: "On the left is the bathroom, in the front is a single room that can be used as a study, and there is a kitchen near the backyard."

They went upstairs together, and there was a spacious bedroom facing south and north.The master bedroom to the south also has a washroom and a small cloakroom.Although there are no beds and wardrobes here, the floor and wall panels have a fresh fragrance that makes people feel tired.

"My lord knight, please allow me to give you a useful suggestion," the store manager said while introducing the layout of the room. "When choosing furniture, quilts and decorations, you must let the girls decide."

You guys talk a lot.Griffith ignored him and climbed the stairs to the attic.It is very narrow there, and some sundries can be piled up, but there is no way for people to stand.There is a small circular window on the south side of the attic, from which the whole block can be observed.

"It's not a big space, but you can store a lot of things," said the store manager with experience. "Once a girl moves in, no matter how spacious the space is, it will be filled immediately."

Who said I want to let girls live in.Part of the function of this hut is to hold gatherings to accumulate friendship in the next three years according to Sonia’s suggestion, and it is also used as a place to store materials and hide to attend Mr. Hermit’s meeting. As for the other purpose, it is absolutely different from the girls detached!

Saw the guest pretty much see the entire lodge.The store manager asked with some expectation: "Mr. Knight, are you going to rent or buy? I recommend leasing, and the monthly rent is 120 silver lang."

"What about buying?"

"If you pay the full amount at one time, the price is 30 silver lang. Buying is also a good idea. Baltimore town is getting more and more prosperous. If you want to move out in the future, you can easily find another home."

30 Silver Lang, this price is not cheap for a single-family house in a small town, but it is still acceptable. If you bargain, you may be able to reduce it, but I am not good at it.Griffith thought as he walked towards the backyard.

In the Canaan incident, he killed many elves. Although they had no money, the magic ornaments, mysterious items, gems and materials seized could still be sold for 10 to 12 silver langs after they were distributed to Galadia.This is still a number of items that were damaged in battle or not taken away.

With this money, it is not difficult for him to buy a property.

Griffith discussed the price with the store manager, but there was not much room for bargaining.After checking the certificates of the house, signing the contract and paying part of the deposit, the store manager happily went back to go through the formalities and left the hut to Griffith.

The quasi-knight collapsed on the sofa, and the refreshing sea breeze blew into the room, making him extremely comfortable.

This spacious room is really different from the attic.

Griffith jumped to his feet.Go down to the basement.

As the store manager said, the basement here is strong and spacious, which can be used as a storage room or bedroom.He walked along the wall a few times, stood by the wall on the south side, and scratched at the wall with his fingers.

The bricks and stones fell down, and a small hole was soon dug out.

Starting from the basement, go down the gentle slope, and 200 meters ahead of the sewer is the wall foundation of the No. 13 warehouse.

From the beginning, Griffith did not intend to break through the defense there in a short time.

Now that the headmaster has closed the place, out of respect for the demigod, Griffith won't go head-on.In the following time, Minos will drive the puppet for him, and dig according to the predetermined route and engineering volume until the foundation of No. 13 warehouse is opened.If the school also set up the defense line and restriction of the magic spell under the foundation, he could also try to break it underground quietly.
