Arcane Universe

Hesitated for a while, the door was opened from the inside, and the door was opened by a complexion pale thin girl. She was petite and seemed to be fourteen or five years old, but Her tired face looked like she was in her twenties again.

Feng Chou turned around and threw two large copper plates to the child. He was happy and left.

The girl let Feng Chou into the house. This is a narrow house, about five meters deep and three meters wide. In the innermost part of the house, there are two wooden doubles against the corner. Shelf canopy bed, one bed is wider, leaning against the inner wall, and the other is narrower, leaning against the left wall.

In the middle of the room, there is a small table. On the table are paste basins, carton strips, wooden box strips, and some pasted or semifinished product matchboxes. There are two small tables beside the table. The stool, one stool is empty, and a dustpan is placed on the other stool. In the dustpan, there are some finished matchboxes tied with cotton thread.

Across the table, on the lower bunk of the narrow canopy bed, sits a haggard old man. He looks at Feng Chou and seems to want to say something, but he keeps coughing and always interrupts him. Words.

After waiting for a long time, the old man finally calmed his cough and panting. He looked at Feng Chou tiredly and asked: “Sir, I am dying. I don’t know that I am a dying person, right. What’s the use of a noble gentleman like you?”

Feng Chou turned around and said to the girl: “Can I trouble you to avoid it? I have something I want to talk to Mr. Chapman.”

The girl glanced at the old man hesitantly, turned around and walked out of the room at the old man’s sign, and closed the door from the outside.

After confirming the girl’s departure, Feng Chou said: “Mr. Chapman, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Leo Amberit Baron.”

“As for mine If you want, I’ll speak frankly. I came to you because I became interested in Viscount Chapman.”

“I recently purchased Wood Manor. You must know that it is a The jazz collar located south of the Viscount Chapman. During the investigation around the jazz collar, I found something that made me make certain judgments.”

“So I noticed, The ownership of this viscountry is still in the name of the Chapman family, that is, under you, the only direct heir of the Chapman family.”

This dying old man is a dead investigation. The second son of Viscount Pullman.

“I came to you to buy this Viscount collar from you.”

The old man lying on the bed seemed a little weird, he asked back Said: “You mean, you want to buy the Chapman Ghost Castle?”

Feng Chou said: “Yes, I will not only buy the Ghost Castle, I want to buy the entire Chapman Viscount collar.”

The old man pondered for a while and asked: “Sir, can you tell me what you found that made you make such a crazy decision?”

Feng Chou said: “It’s actually very simple. During my investigation, I found that the influence of Chapman’s ghost castle is slowly increasing.

“Fifteen years ago, when the accident just happened, Evil Spirit The impact of ”is only within Chapman’s collar, and other territories outside are only a loss in reputation, not at all are actually affected. “

“But today, fifteen years later, the outer territories, including the Wood collar that I purchased, have begun to be substantially affected. For example, the scary Resentful Soul appeared, and the grain production in the territory began to decrease slightly. ……”

“We all know that in the north, east, and southeast of Chapman’s collar, it is next to Earl Hall, Viscount Lake, and Earl Hawke. These three lords are all He is a powerful figure in the city of Casaranca, especially Earl Hawke. He is the chief judge of the Casaranca Court of Appeal and the senior bishop of the God of Justice. “

“Once the territories of these gentlemen are invaded, they will definitely find a way to push the Church of the Gods in Casalanka and the Mage Guild to eradicate the Evil Spirit in Chapman Fort. “

After hearing Feng Chou’s words, Chapman looked gloomy and uncertain.

Of course Feng Chou knew what he was thinking, and he said: “It’s a little regrettable Yes, the Evil Spirit’s scope of influence spreads very slowly, so if you have to wait until Earl Hawke’s territory is significantly affected, I’m afraid it will take at least two decades. “

After hearing Feng Chou’s words, a wry smile appeared on Chapman’s face. He can’t wait for twenty years. He is not fifty years old this year. If he can be treated with the divine technique, then Don’t eat too much hardship in the days of the past, then he can live to at least 70 years old, but if he is not treated now, severe lung disease will kill him in one or two years.”

He thought for a while and asked: “How much can you give me?”

Feng Chou said: “One hundred thousand crowns.”

Chapman said: “No , Sir, that is a viscountry!”

Feng Chou said: “That viscountry is worthless now.”

Chapman said: “No, sir, sir , Your Excellency Baron, you can’t do this. You have to give me a piece of land or a real estate that can bring annuity income. You have to protect the rest of my life. You and I know that one hundred thousand crowns is simply spent in Casalanca. It won’t be long.”

Feng Chou thought for a while and asked: “Territory? Real estate? What kind of real estate? What are your requirements?”

Chapman said: “If If it is a territory, at least it is a jazz collar, and the annuity income must be more than 10,000 kronor. If it is real estate, the annuity income must be more than 20,000 kronor.”

If it is before the trip to the Arcane tower, Feng Chou’s financial resources are no longer enough to buy a jazz collar or a real estate in Casalanka, unless he is willing to sell the keel and adamantine that he raided when he made war fortune in the Tigerkin Caves, of course he would not bear it.

But now, hundreds of thousands of kronor are nothing to him. In fact, he found more than 30,000 magic gold coins in the warehouse on the third floor of Arcane’s ruined tower.

Magic gold coin is a large denomination currency minted during the Arcane Empire. Its base material is magic gold used to refine low- and medium-level magic items. Magic gold is mainly gold, mixed with a certain amount A kind of Arcane alloy made of copper, and a small amount of Mithril.

The ratio of magic gold to gold is 1:10. A standard magic gold coin weighing 10 grams is worth 100 kronor.

This kind of magic gold coin still circulates in the transactions of mages until today, and the mages are used to calling this currency “Olang”, a standard ten grams of magic gold coin is an “Olang”.

These more than 30,000 magic gold coins are equivalent to more than three million kronor, which is enough for him to buy several jazz collars in Casalanka.

Feng Chou was not surprised by Chapman’s request. He was born as a nobleman, and naturally he could not escape the way of thinking of ordinary nobles. In the eyes of nobles, land is always ranked first. Next is the real estate that can bring stable income. In their eyes, cash is neither safe nor economical.

Feng Chou thought for a while, and he decided not to bargain. On the one hand, hundreds of thousands of crowns are nothing to him now.

On the other hand, the Evil Spirit led by Viscount Chapman will not be resolved like Feng Chou said. It will take twenty years to solve it. This business is definitely worthwhile.
