After coming out of Iolum's study, Xia Duo's mentality relaxed a lot, like letting go of a boulder in the bottom of his heart.
In this situation, with Iolum's endorsement, he can finally escape from the suspicion of Cliff's death. No matter what the Seven Towers determined that Cliff's death was due to him, he has enough confidence to deal with it.
Just in front of Iolum, Xia Duo didn't say whether to return to the South Border immediately. In fact, he was not going to return immediately. He also wanted to know the results of the Seven Towers investigation as soon as possible.
In any case, this incident has involved him, and he has to wait for a result, no matter whether the result is good or bad for him.
Walking out of the Austrian Law Federation, Xia Duo looked up at the sky. He felt that the sky was much clearer than before.
Coming to the west side of Offa Square, Xia Duo saw Evans looking around under a large arcanist statue, until Xia Duo came closer, the other party didn't notice it at all.
"I'm right in front of you!" Xia Duo sent a message.
"what?!"
Evans suddenly withdrew his eyes from looking around, and focused his eyes on the ordinary adventurer in front of him, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Is that you? Lord Chateau?"
"It's me!" Xia Duo said calmly.
At this sensitive moment, it is still possible to avoid a lot of trouble when going out with an illusionary disguise, like the situation where you just encountered Lord Hawke in front of the Comensuo Embassy, after all, it is still a minority.
"Did you bring the real estate information I wanted?"
"Bring it!" Evans hurriedly took out a wad of crumpled parchment from his arms and prepared to hand it to Chateau.
Xia Duo took it casually, but didn't check it immediately. Instead, he pointed to the west and said, "Go, take me to the nearest place first."
"Yes."
Evans responded, and immediately began to lead the way. While walking, he also introduced the first property he was waiting to visit:
"That house is located at the junction of the port area and the trade area, not far from my'Drunkard's Home', only two blocks away.
"It was originally bought by a southern businessman, but when the businessman encountered pirates when he went to sea, the house was sold to'Blackbeard' by his young son.
"My lord,'Blackbeard' is the boss of the real estate guild in that block. I heard that he has an unusual relationship with a big man in the Seven Towers. Of course, compared to you, it's not worth mentioning."
For such compliments, Chateau did not comment, nor interrupted Evans's narration. Before the high-level, his main activity area was the Tower of Time.
I have been to Sevinton several times since then, but at that time his was already an arcanist, and he was too far away from the real bottom, and it was difficult to experience the real fresh bottom life.
Now listening to Evans telling the stories of these neighborhoods, Chateau has a clearer understanding of the other side of Netheril's casters, and it also allows him to feel the truth of the world more deeply.
"My lord, I haven't told ‘Black Beard’ that you want to buy real estate. If you identify yourself, the house price may be much cheaper, and it will save you a lot of trouble in that block in the future."
"No hurry, go and see first."
Chateau didn't doubt Evans's statement, but if it could be solved with gold coins, why should he owe others favors?
Although others don't necessarily expect him to pay it back, he is a principled person and will keep it in his heart. In order to avoid inadequate thoughts, it is better to owe less favor.
…
Soon, the two came to a crossroads that crossed north and south. Evans pointed to a section of a building in the northwest corner and said to Chateau:
"My lord, that is the first property."
Xia Duo only glanced at it and frowned. It was not that this house was not good, but that it was close to other houses, similar to the low-rise warehouses on the edge of the old community in his hometown.
It's just that the houses here are not low, but three or four storeys high. From the outside, the whole body is made of stone, which is relatively tall.
Chateau had also seen many brick or plywood houses in the port area. Evans certainly wouldn't introduce that kind of property to him, but there was indeed a gap between him and his expectations.
Walking to the one-pillar street lamp, Xia Duo quickly flipped through the pages of the information that Evans had found. This house was also in it, and the sale price was as high as 100,000 gold coins!
"It's not easy to be big!"
In the past, Savile’s net income, including the Tower of Time, was only about 100,000 yuan a year. It was a very difficult decision to spend 100,000 yuan on a one-time purchase of a property in Sevinton that might not last several times a year.
Even now, this money is a huge sum of money for Xia Duo!
What's more, he wants a more independent property than here, which is more expensive, but since he wants to buy a property, he must find a property that meets his expectations.
Collecting the information, Chateau directed Evans to the next place. After excluding most of the houses that were not independent and decent enough, only two estates were left.
What they are going to now is one of them, which is located at the junction of the trading area and the old city. Regardless of other factors, just because it is close to the old city, the price will rise by at least 20%.
The sale price offered by Evans is three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!
This price is already half a mage tower. Before today, Xia Duo did not expect that the house price of Seventon could be so high!
Even if he is a senior arcanist, it is quite difficult for him to buy a real estate that meets his status in Seventon.
Of course, if he is willing to "sell himself", some chambers of commerce and spellcaster organizations are willing to give him this money.
But he obviously wouldn't do it.
…
Soon, Xia Duo saw this manor worth 350,000 gold coins, surrounded by green trees outside, and the area inside was not small for Sevinton, who was rich in gold.
A full 10,000 to 20,000 square meters!
The building of the manor is mainly composed of two parts-a two-story villa in the style of an elf, UUkanshu www.uukānshu.com and its attached garden square; the other is a row of brick houses for servants to live in and place sundries.
The location of this manor is also quite good, with a trading area to the south and the old city to the north, with convenient transportation and good public security.
You can even often see guards from the old town passing by here. Seeing this, Xia Duo is no longer ready to go to the next place.
Because that other manor property is located in the old city, it is only rented but not sold, and the annual rent is as high as 50,000.
In other words, renting over there for six or seven years is tantamount to losing this freehold estate here.
Maybe it was more decent and more able to reflect the status of a senior arcanist, but in the case of this manor here, Xia Duo really didn't want to be taken advantage of.
Thinking about this, he had actually made a choice in his mind, so he asked Evans again: "Can a mage tower be built here? What if I want to build a mage tower here?"
This manor is so large that it is not too small to build a mage tower, and for Chardonnay, it would be safer and more convenient if he could have his own mage tower in Sevinton.
