Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Chapter 101 New Home Equipment Allocation

More than half a month later, Rose contacted the real estate agent again, asking him to recommend a house in a working-class neighborhood, preferably with a basement.

The real estate agent thought for a moment and said that there was indeed a house with a basement, located in a working-class neighborhood, and its exact location was roughly within the area of ​​the kindergarten that Mason had mentioned.

However, there is a problem: the owner of the house requires a lease option contract. Before renting the house, a "option" fee of three percent of the house's value must be paid, and the remaining monthly rent is the market price. The contract is for two years.

To be honest, this really touches on Rose's area of ​​knowledge.

Rose asked for details and learned the general situation: the 3% fee was to qualify Rose to buy the house two years later.

Then, two years later, Rose will either buy the house or move out.

The homeowner wants to sell the house because they don't want long-term tenants, but they don't want to lower the price, so they're doing this.

Rose fell into thought; he felt that the lease option contract was acceptable to him.

Compared to a normal rental agreement, this type of contract requires paying an additional "option" fee to gain the right to purchase the house in the future.

While this requires paying an extra sum, it also means that the house will almost certainly belong to Rose for the next two years, and she can buy it back at any time after that.

The cost of buying this house is a considerable sum for an ordinary person, but it may not be much for the magic community.

Although magicians also have mortgages, the kind of houses that come with their own magic pools and enjoy the conveniences of the entire magical civilization's technology are not like the houses in the working-class areas that are for ordinary people to live in.

Rose believes that with the knowledge of the most advanced civilization on the faith side, he should be able to convert it into a considerable amount of money.

For example, the "Silent Thunder" potion recipe he found a few days ago has a large market among mages.

Two years is enough time for Rose to accumulate a huge fortune, enough to buy this house.

Even if you can't buy it, you only lose an "option" fee.

Rose ultimately decided to sign the contract.

So the real estate agent took Rose to contact the homeowner, because this transaction was different from the last one, and there was no room for negotiation.

Everything is specified in the contract: the rent is based on market price, and the "option" fee is three percent of the market price of the house.

Therefore, Rose did not pay an extra brokerage fee to have the agent negotiate on her behalf, as she had done with Hope's house last time.

Instead, Rose met with the homeowner in person, toured the entire house and basement, and found it acceptable, ultimately signing two contracts.

One is a standard lease agreement, and the other is an option agreement that specifies the future purchase price, option period, option premium, etc.

The houses in the working-class area were much more expensive than the 400 marks a month rent in the slums. Including the option fees, Rose paid a total of 12000 marks for a year's rent.

This is one-third of Hope's house. Although Hope's house also has a basement and occupies a considerable area, its location is not good, situated in the dirtiest and most chaotic slum in Lovilia.

After everything was settled, Rose returned home to inform Tiana about the move and her upcoming schooling.

"Wow! Going to school?!"

Rose had previously bought Tiana picture books about going to school, so that she could have a concept of going to school in advance.

"Um,"

Rose responded, "Let's pack our things first."

The two of them quickly finished packing. Actually, there wasn't much stuff; it was just some clothes and canned food.

There weren't even any books left; the two books Rose had borrowed from the library had already been returned after attending the party.

These things filled the large backpack that Rose had bought when she was still living in a tent.

This time it really got heavy, and Rose's physical condition was starting to show signs of strain.

Fortunately, Rose has a Storm spell called "Transform into Cloud" to help her lose weight.

With the combined effect of the wind and Rose's physical abilities, Rose easily lifted the large backpack.

He then took Tiana and left for their new home.

Upon reaching the door, Tiana's eyes lit up as she looked around the bedroom, living room, attic, basement, and kitchen.

A large two-story house with everything from storage rooms to other amenities.

"Oh my god! Rose, is this our new home?"

Rose nodded, then settled Tiana in and tidied up the new house before returning to the house she had previously rented to contact the landlord for the move-out and inspection.

Afterwards, Rose purchased some furniture and household items that she might need and moved into her new home.

At this time, it was not too late.

Rose decided to go to the black market in the slums to see if she could find some equipment for mixing medicines.

Rose covered himself up completely, then used the "Transform into Cloud Form" ability to force air into his throat. With his high sanity and exceptional proficiency in "Transform into Cloud Form," he manipulated the vibrations of the air inside his throat. After several fine-tuning adjustments, he transformed his voice into a rather rough one. In this way, Rose successfully disguised himself as an adult dwarf.

Of course, this kind of operation consumes a lot of concentration, but as a follower of the Ancient Dragon, Rose has nothing but high concentration, which increases his mana limit when he sleeps.

Then, following the address provided by Mason, Rose went to the black market in the slums, where he used [Perception Enhancement].

He scanned the entire black market.

It was eventually discovered that, just as Mason had said, the place did not have any overly sophisticated instruments, only some pots, stirring rods, test tubes, pestles, and the like.

Rose probably understood that there was likely no market for it, because most of the people involved in this black market trade were at a normal level of rationality, while most of the technologies in the Magic Federation required rationality to operate.

As for the potions developed by the followers of Gu Long 20,000 years ago, did they need any sophisticated instruments?

This is underestimating the faith of Gu Long's followers, a civilization that once stood at the pinnacle of belief and suppressed an entire era.

In fact, Gu Long's followers have already developed the use of electricity, although the methods of power generation are rather crude, including artificial power generation and bioelectricity.

Moreover, the believer's control over himself makes this current extremely stable. In addition to its physical properties, this ancient dragon current also has mystical and extraordinary properties, and has more wonderful little uses than the electricity in the previous life.

Therefore, the machines used by Gu Long's followers in the preparation of potions had astonishing precision.

Without any instruments to assist you, if you're just doing it by hand, what you can actually make depends entirely on luck.

Rose bought some basic tools that she could use on the black market and then planned to go to the illegal clinic to see if they sold any related equipment.

If the illegal clinic doesn't work, Rose plans to go see Joel, the Ancient One.

Since Joel is a student in the medical department of a magic academy, they should have the necessary equipment. Let's see if we can buy a set.

However, he needs to handle the issue of identity properly. Unlike other magicians who misunderstand Rose's age, Joel knows Rose's age quite well.

So perhaps we need to come up with some plausible reasons.
