Broad World - Chapter 352
Chapter 350 Mansion
The Erlatan House is located in the northern part of the administrative district. It was built by the Ronore family 20 years ago. It is said that at least 150,000 gold coins were spent on light materials. The whole building adopts Karin Shan’s most popular curved spire, milky white marble pillars and various precious flowers and plants can be seen everywhere. Just like the meaning of its name, it exudes an elegant atmosphere.
But today, here is a bleak scene, and it also exudes a faint smell of blood. A few hours ago, an elite army directly under the six-member council rushed in and killed people at sight without asking why. Several family members and more than forty servants were slaughtered within ten minutes.
Many passers-by who witnessed this scene were scared to speak. We must know that the Council has always upheld the principle of negotiating things, and this is the first time such a fierce and **** action in recent decades. Many interested people began to inquire in private, and soon they got some other shocking news. For example, the Ronore family’s shops and ships docked in the port were all sealed up, and many nobles who were close to them were arrested. Combining with the recent maddening of private fights, it is easy to guess what happened.
The Ronore family, which claimed to have 500 professional fighters, was defeated, and it was a terrible defeat. The council is obviously trying to please this rising upstart, so there are eyeliners everywhere around the house, hoping to know who is inheriting the title and land of the Deanis family.
Suddenly, several figures appeared at the end of the street. A few guys with particularly good eyesight recognized Henry walking in the forefront at a glance, after all, he had appeared in public in the morning. These people now finally know why Nalia dared to provoke the powerful Ronore family publicly, and why the council directly intervened in the private grievances of the two nobles, all because of this unfathomable legendary master.
Altagos keenly sensed the gaze hidden in the corner, and immediately asked in a low voice: “Master, it seems that many people are spying on us, do you want to kill them all?”
“Don’t worry, these are spies sent by nobles and merchants, and they will leave naturally when they recognize me.” Said Heng used the cloak to wrap the poisonous tongue queen in his arms tightly. In order to prevent the dark elves’ unique black skin from being exposed. Viconia curled up knowingly and pretended to be a weak and shy human female.
At the gate of the courtyard stood two guards wearing stainless steel breastplates, pointed helmets, and a red feather inserted above them. According to Amn’s military system, ordinary soldiers have green feathers on their heads, while red feathers can only be worn by officers. As soon as I saw someone approaching. One of the guys immediately stood up and shouted: “The comer stopped, this place does not belong to the Ronor family anymore.”
“I am the new owner of this house, and here is the certificate issued by the council.” After that, Henry directly handed over the title deed and the deed to the house. After a busy day, he is now a bit tired and wants to take a bath and eat something, and then sleep well.
The officer took two pieces of parchment with a surprised look. Carefully checked it again and after confirming that it was not a forgery, his hands were returned back.
“I’m very sorry for the delay in your time. But this is our duty, please don’t be offended.”
Henry smiled friendly. “Nothing, I can understand. But I want to ask, are there any uncleaned corpses and bloodstains here?”
“Uh… please rest assured. The body and blood stains have been cleaned up, but there will still be a bit of smell. In addition, there is not even a housekeeper and servant here, so it may be a little inconvenient to live. I personally recommend you It’s best to hire a few mercenaries first, because the night is not so peaceful.”
Hearing the veiled reminder from the officer, Henry immediately understood that the life of the shadow thief must have been quite sad recently. He nodded slightly, and placed a small bag of gold coins in the opponent’s hand. “Thank you for your reminder. Take this money as a reward for your loyalty to your duties.”
“In this case, we are ashamed to accept it. If there is no other order, we will retreat first.” Said the two officers saluted, turned and walked in the direction of the barracks. The discipline of Amn’s army is not as good as Baldur’s Gate, and private bribery is almost a tacit unspoken rule.
As soon as I walked into the gate, the first thing that caught my eye was a large piece of neatly trimmed flowers and trees, and a huge female fountain sculpture was erected in the center of the courtyard. Henry walked. While secretly sighing that the **** of the Ronore family would really enjoy it. If he reads it right, this statue must have been made by a master, and its value may not be much cheaper than a magic full body armor.
Viconia looked at the surrounding environment with disdain and sarcastically said, “This is the residence of the human nobles? It’s really useless. If it is attacked, I am afraid that it will not even be able to protect it.”
“This is a city on the surface. There are not so many dangers and tricks in the dark area. Therefore, the houses of nobles and merchants pay more attention to comfort and beauty, and rarely consider the issue of defense.” Henry explained with a smile. He has also been to the dark elf city, and once participated in a family war.
It can be said that the drow has completely implemented the two words practical into the bones, no matter it is armor or weapons, it is rare to see finely crafted patterns. Needless to say the residence, the gates of the upper-class noble houses are all pure gold, and there are many traps near the courtyard wall. The pattern engraved on the door is not a decoration, and the slaves who have been blown into pieces have the most say.
“Huh, what a bunch of idiots, otherwise they won’t be killed, right?” Viconia said as she stood up. As a drow, she would never let anyone see her weak side if she was not forced to do so.
“Stupid? Maybe.” Henry’s face showed a hint of helplessness. In this world, even the gods are stupid, not to mention these mortals. Merchants and nobles just want to enjoy more in their lifetime, and then die to go to the kingdom of God to be honest petitioners. Not every race can live just to fight for power like the dark elves.
After a brief inspection of the entire house, Henry found that apart from no one, even the various ingredients in the kitchen were the same. It seems that there are not twenty or so servants here that can’t function at all, but it’s getting a bit late now, and everything has to wait until tomorrow. As the only person in the team who can cook, he had to cook by himself. After half an hour, a few very generous dishes were brought to the table.
In order to feed the two dragons, Henry stewed almost all the meat that could be seen in the kitchen. I also cooked several pots of mashed potatoes. It is also very bold when placed, a large pot with a diameter of one meter is directly placed on the table, and the dark bottom of the pot irons a large hole in the seemingly expensive silk tablecloth.
Viconia, who had been hungry for several days, gobbled it up, and in a short while, she was able to get rid of two plates of stew and a portion of mashed potatoes. As for the two humanoid dragons, there is no image at all. At present, the only person who is still elegant is Amelia. Perhaps because of her good education, she always cuts the meat with a dining knife without hurries, and never makes any noise when she drinks soup.
Looking at the messy dining table. Henry couldn’t help sighing. After wiping his mouth with a napkin, he stood up and walked towards the second floor. Just as he had just stepped on the stairs, Amelia hurriedly stood up and asked in a low voice: “Master, when do you plan to receive the Ronore family mage tower?”
“I’m a little tired today. I’ll wait until tomorrow. Oh. By the way, remember to hire a few servants tomorrow morning, otherwise this place will become a garbage dump in a few days.”
Amelia glanced back subconsciously, and saw that the contents of a few large pots were eaten cleanly by the two giant dragons, and bones and plates were thrown everywhere. The elegant and chic restaurant an hour ago is almost like a slum tavern, and the expensive handmade carpets are covered with splashes of soup.
She nodded sadly. “Don’t worry, I will get this matter done early tomorrow morning.”
“Do this well. As a reward. I’ll leave the Wizard Tower to you to manage.” As he said, Henry touched Amelia’s short black hair and walked directly to the second floor.
The girl was stunned by the sudden good news and couldn’t believe it was true. We must know that every mage is eager to have his own tower, but the expensive construction cost can make more than 90% of the people retreat. Even the simplest mage tower can not be made less than 400,000 gold coins, and it must have many aspects of knowledge. Most mages spend their entire lives and can only work in other people’s towers in exchange for a certain amount of energy to experiment and make magic items.
Amelia, who grew up in the Masked Mage’s Guild, knows deeply that if you want to get something, you must pay, otherwise even if you get it, you will lose it. She could feel the closeness and affection from the heart in Henry’s eyes. So I gritted my teeth and walked up.
Viconia saw all this in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth made a slight arc. She is now more and more curious about this team, especially Henry, as the team leader, obviously can feel that there are so many secrets hidden. Just look at the two guys lying on the ground sleeping fast, and ordinary people can’t make the dragon bend their heads to their ears like this.
Through careful observation on this road Viconia has long discovered the true identity of Altagos and Orlockseth. After all, even if there were no brown dragons in the gloomy area, there were still a few black dragons. She felt that Henry must have acquired a certain artifact or invented a special spell to control the dragon. If you can get it, even if you return to the gloomy region, it will not be impossible to set off a storm of revenge.
The dark elf priestess gleamed with longing eyes in her eyes, and shouted deep in her heart: “I swear to gain this power. No matter how much it is paid, it will be no hesitate.” But she did not notice. A pair of twinkling purple eye contours and pitch-black pupils suddenly appeared on his forehead, which disappeared after only a few seconds.
