Chapter 2271 Buy a New House

Joan opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a black teenager wearing a servant uniform and a "newsboy hat". He bowed to him and handed a letter with both hands, saying that his master asked him to deliver a note to Professor Rawls.

Joan rewarded the little black slave with a silver coin, and returned to the house to hand the letter to the teacher.

Master Rawls opened the envelope, took a look, and immediately smiled.

"Joan, colleagues from Leiden College specially held a banquet in the school cafeteria tonight to celebrate my resurrection. As the protagonist, of course I have to attend!"

"Look, the sun is almost going down, and it's getting late. I have to take a shower quickly and change into a decent dress. You should also pack up and go to the banquet with me. Sanitation and so on, there is still time to clean it another day .”

Joan saw that Master Rawls was just looking for an excuse to avoid doing housework, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

"Teacher, you know that I don't like socializing, so I won't join in the fun."

"Oh, all right! What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it back for you."

"Don't bother you, I'll go out for a walk after cleaning, and just find a small restaurant on the way to have something to eat."

After Master Rawls left, Joan spent another half an hour cleaning the house spotlessly, cast a spell to remove the dust on his body, and went out for a walk.

Both sides of the street were covered with snow, and there were few pedestrians on the street at dusk. After walking for about half a mile, Joan accidentally saw a notice of real estate for sale hanging in a window on the side of the road. In the house of Master Els, anyway, I am not short of money now, so I might as well buy a residence near here, and it will be convenient to go to school in the future.

After making up his mind, Joan walked into the mansion for sale. The yard was cleaned very clean. The architectural style of the two-story house reminded him of Mrs. Anderson's old house, which added a good impression.

"Is anyone home?" Joan knocked on the door.

After a long time, the door opened, and an old black man with gray hair stood in front of the door holding a candlestick, looking out suspiciously.

"I'm here to see the house." Joan pointed to the sale notice posted on the window.

"Oh! Sir, please come in! The master is not at home, you can take a look around first, if you decide to buy it, I will drive you to the master's office." The old black slave said humbly.

Joan walked into the lobby on the first floor, and saw a piano near the window, surrounded by a circle of sofas, and a wine cabinet against the wall. It was arranged as a small salon, which had the atmosphere of a southern country gentleman's family in the New World.

Joan went around twice on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor. He checked the living room, study room, and four bedrooms one by one. The layout and furniture were all in line with his wishes.

"Is the house sold furnished?"

Joan turned back and asked the black butler holding a silver candlestick.

"That's right, sir. Including the complete set of furniture, piano and kitchen utensils, our master only asks for 4,000 Gold Duga. I dare say that you can't find a more cost-effective real estate in the entire city of Leyton!"

"Only 4000 Gold Durga?" Joan was a little surprised.

This house is much more grand than Mrs. Anderson's old house, and the age of the house does not look old. Coupled with the gorgeous decoration and excellent location, even if the real estate price in Leiden City is cheaper than that in Midgard, it will not be too expensive. So cheap.

There must be something wrong when things go wrong, Qiao An turned around to avoid the butler's sight, blessed "Distinguish Lies", and then turned around and asked the butler: "The price is indeed very affordable, but I suspect that there is something wrong with this house. Has there been a murder recently? Or are there any bad supernatural rumors?"

"No! Absolutely not!" The old black man shook his head hastily.

"If there is no special reason, why is the price so cheap? I don't believe that your master is doing charity." Joan asked coldly.

The old black man dodged his eyes, and pretended to be calm and said: "Sir, it's actually like this...well, our master's business has not been going well recently, and he owed a large amount of debt. To raise money, so the price is low, and I want to get rid of it as soon as possible.”

Joan shook her head lightly: "You're lying."

"No, no!"

The old black man still wanted to argue, but Joan snapped his fingers with a wave, and a ball of shining magic light popped out from his fingertips, illuminating the astonished face of the other party.

"Are you... a mage?"

Joan nodded.

The old black man couldn't help but took two steps back, and nearly knocked over the candlestick by mistake.

He soon realized that it was unwise to lie to a mage, so he had to tell the truth.

"Master, my master's surname is Randolph, who is a well-known owner of a large estate in Yalfheim. The master bought this house specially for our two young masters, so that they can go to school nearby."

"Just two months ago, for some reason, the two young masters of our family were seriously ill, so we had to temporarily suspend school and take them back to the manor for recuperation."

"What's wrong?" Joan asked casually.

"The doctor said it was 'fever fever'. The two young masters have been suffering from high fever. In severe cases, they may even be unconscious. It is said that it is contagious, and it may be fatal!" The old black man looked ugly.

Joan nodded.

Although "rot fever" is not as contagious as "smallpox" and "black death" and has a high fatality rate, it is still quite dangerous among common diseases.

"After the young masters returned home, only a group of servants were left to guard the house. Shortly thereafter, the servants also fell ill for no reason... they were also infected with 'fever fever'."

The old black man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a mournful face: "When the master heard about it, he quickly removed the sick servant, leaving me here alone to guard, and said that the house was too unlucky, so he decided to sell it as soon as possible." .”

"Unlucky" is a superstitious term, but Joan feels that this house is indeed not safe. There are likely to be germs growing in the dark corners. Living in such a place has a high probability of contracting "rot fever". No wonder the old black slave With a gloomy face, whoever was forced to stay in this ghostly place full of germs would not be happy.

Joan has an anti-virus physique, and "fever fever" does not hinder him. A little cleaning can wipe out the remaining germs in the house, so he doesn't care much.

After thinking for a while, Joan said to the old black slave, "Take me to your master now."

"Master Master, do you... really want to buy this house?"

The old black slave looked over in surprise.

Joan nodded and replied calmly: "I'm not afraid of viruses or anything."

The old black slave immediately showed reverence in his eyes, and hurried out to harness the carriage.

An hour later, with the house purchase contract in his arms, Qiao An rode the Phantom Horse alone, and returned to the new home he had just purchased in full.

After entering the room, Joan flew up in the form of a beeman, and blessed the crystal chandelier on the first floor with "Immortal Flame", and the hall became brighter.

On the first day of December, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, thank you everyone!
