Chapter 199 Hacking You Old Gentleman to Death Every Minute

Early the next morning, Tang En and the others went out after breakfast.

The sale and purchase of real estate in the aristocratic district is very strictly controlled, so this matter must be settled as soon as possible.

Due to the housing issue of employees, Hilton did not go to the store today, but came with him.

After taking the carriage to the address mentioned on the scroll, Dunn and the others immediately saw the courtyard next to them.

From the outside, this courtyard covers an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters, which is larger than the large playground of ordinary schools. Even if it is placed in the entire noble area, the area of ​​this noble courtyard is not small.

For the nobles here, a home without a garden and a backyard is not a home at all, but Yalinx is so big after all, it is unrealistic for everyone to want such a big garden, so only some people can have a big one. garden.

After getting off the carriage, Tang En and the others were even more satisfied.

Although the owner of the place has left and the property rights are all handed over to the intermediary to take care of, the intermediary seems to be very attentive and has kept the place very clean and tidy. The ivy and vines on the outer wall have also been trimmed, so that it does not look so bad scary.

"Hello, are you the Mr. Tang En who wants to buy here?"

As soon as they got off the carriage, an old man who had been waiting at the door for a long time greeted him. Although he was gray-haired and wrinkled, he stood upright. He was dressed in a black dress very cleanly, and the expression on his face was also very good. He is calm, and one can tell at a glance that his character is that meticulous type.

Tang En was taken aback for a moment: "I'm Tang En, are you?"

The old man politely raised his hand on his chest, and made a polite greeting to the nobles: "I am the person in charge of introducing this courtyard to you. Just call me Old Tom."

"Old Tom?"

Tang En said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I know a man named Old Tom."

"It's not a coincidence, it's a common name, I know several people named Tom."

Old Tom led the way and said very seriously: "To be honest, I think we should suggest the Rename Amendment Act to His Majesty Victor, allowing citizens to change their names, or add identification characters and the like."

If the expression on his face hadn't been so serious, Tang En would have thought he was joking with himself, but his expression really made people unable to laugh.

"Look, after entering the gate, this is the main house in the courtyard. In the middle is the place where the master and his family live. On the left is for the servants, and on the right is for the maids."

"The annex buildings on the left and right sides are connected to the main building through corridors, but the annex building where the servants live on the left is only connected to the first floor, and the one where the maids live on the right is connected to the top floor. The reason for this design is to facilitate the tryst between the master and the maid. It also prevents maids and servants from cheating."

Old Tom said with a blank face: "This structure originated from the invention of a nobleman in the Kansas Empire thousands of years ago. One of his maid lovers was unbearable to be lonely and the servant had an affair. After he was executed, the nobleman invented this structure." Structured buildings have become popular among nobles since then..."

Steal, have an affair?

The innocent Elsa flushed with shame when she first heard this word.

Isn't this kind of plot often found in chivalrous novels?

The lonely lady was unbearably lonely, she had a fierce spark with the passing knight, and then it was out of control...

Hey!

What am I thinking!

Elsa covered her face, the lord is definitely not that kind of person!

Elijah looked at Elsa who was blushing, and then at Hilton who was smiling very strangely, scratched her head, and looked at Nora in blank dismay.

The two little ones didn't understand what was going on with the two of them.

"that……"

Tang En faced Hilton's weird eyes and said with a dry smile: "We are not interested in the special functions of this building and its origin..."

"oh……"

Old Tom glanced at Dunn with playfulness in his eyes, turned around Hilton and Elsa again, then looked away silently, and said lightly: "I'm not telling you, as an old gentleman, I am Reminding the two ladies."

etc! What do you mean by that look in your eyes just now? ?

Believe it or not, I hacked you to death in minutes, old gentleman! ?

"Since you are not interested, then follow me."

Old Tom opened the gate and led them around the main house: "This courtyard has a history of more than 500 years. It was first built when a master magician settled here, and it can be found in many places. There are traces of magic treatment, so it is very durable, and it is still strong after more than 500 years of wind and rain."

Upon hearing this, Tang En immediately took a closer look around, and then found that the wall and the ground were very tightly combined, without any gaps at all. This was directly made by using the magic of turning mud into stone...

Except here, many joints can be seen to be very perfect. The craftsmanship of ordinary construction workers in Prandal can't achieve such perfection. Obviously, they all use magic means.

"...These exhibits in the corridor are very precious treasures. They are the accumulation of aristocratic background. The owner here has no time to deal with them because he is in a hurry. Please ask us to pack them up and deal with them at a discount. If you don't want them, we can arrange them separately. deal with."

Tang En glanced at those statues and portraits, and said casually, "Leave it."

Although he has no interest in these things, these pretense things are still necessary if he wants to be in the noble circle.

Old Tom nodded, took out a small parchment notebook and wrote a few words, put it away, pointed to the crystal window on the staircase and said: "From here, you can see the scenery of the backyard. The small canal in the city is connected to the Rhone River outside the city, so it is very convenient for servants to fetch water for you..."

Hearing this, Tang En immediately went to hell, the emotional magic water supply is still the privilege of the garden area? People in the noble district can't enjoy it? Can only drink river water?

After walking around the entire mansion, Tang En looked at Hilton, who nodded slightly: "Just let them live in the servant building, and the main building can be reserved for you."

So Tang En looked at Old Tom: "I think this place is not bad."

"If you really want to buy real estate in the aristocratic area," Old Tom paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "then even if you feel that this place is terrible, this is your only choice for the time being."

This old guy... Honestly, it almost made my unicorn arm explode...

Tang En's mouth twitched: "Okay, how many gold coins?"

"Let me do the math, please."

Old Tom took out the small parchment book from before, and began to write and draw on it. After a while, he raised his head: "If you really want it, the price is one million gold coins."

Fuck! ?

Tang En was taken aback: "So expensive!?"

Before Hilton bought a property in the aristocratic area of ​​the mountain city of Bein, it only cost 5,000 gold coins, right?

Although there is no comparison between Bein and Imperial Capital Alyns, the gap is too great...

Old Tom said expressionlessly: "Mr. Dunn, to be honest, this price is a preferential price for the face of the Grand Duke of Bradley. If it is not a discount, you have to pay at least two million gold coins, and you have to pay Pay high property taxes."

Old Tom turned the little book to Tang En, which was full of numbers and calculations: "But because you are the guest introduced by the Grand Duke of Bralette, we can use your status as the Duke to reduce or exempt the property tax for you. We Not only did I save a lot of money, but I also got to know the Duke, so I can give you this preferential price."

Dunn looked it over carefully, and found that it was really as he said. The original price included the price of the collectibles in the house, which was worth 500,000 gold coins, plus 500,000 gold coins. property tax……

"Well, the price is indeed very affordable."

Tang En spread his hands: "Then here comes the problem, I don't have that much money..."

"……what did you say?"

Old Tom, who had always been expressionless, showed a surprised expression for the first time: "You have no money? But yesterday you—"

Old Tom swallowed the words suddenly.

"That's right, I didn't expect it to be so expensive."

Tang En was slightly taken aback, and then his face was full of helplessness. All the gold coins he earned from opening yesterday had been brought back to Ellington. Fight yourself...

Old Tom was in a hurry, it was all settled, why did he suddenly have no money?

If he had no money, how could he sell this house to him?

In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly said calmly: "Well, we can use the Grand Duke of Bralette as a guarantee. We will transfer the ownership of the house to you first, and you can live in it directly. As for the arrears, you can make up for it later. How about us?"

"The service is so attentive?"

Tang En's face was full of astonishment. He even had the concept of intermediary and credit transactions? This is Prandal!

Old Tom said lightly: "After all, you are the guest introduced by the Grand Duke. We think you are trustworthy. It is only a million gold coins. It is probably not a problem for someone the Grand Duke is optimistic about."

Tang En glanced at Hilton, and even she was stunned.

"Yes, yes, but..."

"Since you said yes, then I will go through the formalities right away. Can you give me your family crest for authorization? After the transfer is complete, I will send the formalities here, or to the Grand Duke Brat."

"This... well, just send it here."

Tang En gave his family crest, which was actually the Golden Dragon badge of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, with the family crest with the word "big" removed, and handed it to Old Tom.

Then Old Tom took out three bunches of keys and handed them to Tang En without saying a word: "These are the keys, and the number on each door is clearly corresponding. The three buildings are separate, please keep them safe."

After collecting the keys, Old Tom excused himself to go through formalities and left.

Watching Old Tom leave, Tang En standing by the window suddenly showed a strange expression on his face: "This old Tom... how did he know that I just made a million dollars yesterday?"
