Chapter 641 Villa
David nodded to Butler Jason beside him. This was also taught by etiquette teacher Euphemia. When nobles were out, try not to pay by themselves.
Although he didn't care about this, it was considered to do as the locals did.
Butler Jason didn't understand the use of David buying such expensive alchemy raw materials, but he didn't raise any objection, but walked up to talk with Edna's guide.
David didn't pay attention to the conversation between Butler Jason and Edna's guide. He sat on the side and drank a drink leisurely. After Butler Jason finished his work, he stepped forward and put all the alchemy materials into the space ring. .
They left the Temple of Wealth in the warm farewell of Edna's guide. When Edna's guide wanted to come, once the rich baron who was addicted to 'alchemy' would bring her huge benefits.
For example, after David was in charge of shopping by Edna guide last time, David is also a customer of Edna guide by default, and all the consumption of David under the guidance of Edna guide Edna guide. There is a commission.
Think about how much alchemy material a baron with a million gold coins will buy from Edna's guide after he indulges in 'alchemy', the hobby of burning gold coins.
'Alchemy' has never been an easy task. Starting from a trainee alchemist, without the support of a large number of divine gold coins, and without an alchemist leading the way, the constant failures alone will make the rich go bankrupt.
Different from the addiction imagined by Edna's guide, David was more like a child who got a new toy. He sat in the carriage, and his spirit was constantly sweeping over the 'alchemy raw materials' in the space ring.
If it wasn't for the wrong circumstances, he would have the urge to act immediately.
The carriage continued on its way, then stopped in a wide street.
The ground of this street is paved with pure white rocks, and each of the trees on the roadside is a thick tree hugged by two people. The history of these trees is at least a hundred years old.
These trees alone show the extraordinaryness of this street. This is also the aristocratic residential area of Jianmo City, and even the city lord's mansion is at the end of the same street.
"Master, No. 16 Orr Street is here!" Butler Jason said as he opened the carriage door for David.
David got out of the carriage and saw the house in front of him that would belong to him.
When he listened to Deputy Chief Garrett saying that he would be compensated for a yard, he had a small building in his mind, and there was a flat area in front of the building.
But the house in front of you should not be called a yard.
It should be said that it is a villa.
There is a statue fountain in front of the villa. The statue is of two women playing in the water. David doesn't know much about the great world of God, and he doesn't know who these two women are, but the level of the statue is very high. Under the surging of the fountain, the woman who was still standing still had a sense of agility.
This villa does not mention the interior of the building, even the value of the fountain is probably more expensive than the yard in David's imagination.
When David was watching the fountain, Butler Jason had already communicated with one of the butlers who greeted him.
"My Excellency Baron Arthur, I am Steward Albin at No. 16 Orr Street. It is my honor to serve you!" Butler Albin introduced himself to David.
Butler Albin is actually very nervous. The villa he manages has always been the property of the Noble Affairs Office. The previous work was very easy. Only when someone from the Noble Affairs Office came to Jianmo City would he be needed to entertain him. .
But he does not belong to the noble affairs office, he is only responsible for managing the villa.
After the villa was delivered to David, Steward Albin also handed it over to David along with the villa.
If David didn't need Albin's butler, he would be out of a job, and finding a suitable butler position was not easy.
"Butler Albin, show me here!" David smiled and nodded.
"Please!" Butler Albin calmed down a little, as long as he didn't drive him away immediately, he would have hope.
When he entered the villa, David was still surprised. The ground was polished like a mirror, revealing the strange patterns of special ground stones. Above his head was a chandelier made of crystals, extending from the top of more than ten meters.
The walls are covered with exquisite carvings, and every item in the hall has a heavy sense of history, ranging from tables to candlesticks, all of which can be called handicrafts.
Under the leadership of Butler Albin, David visited the restaurant, living room, study, music room, and leisure room on the first floor, ten luxuriously decorated guest rooms on the second floor, and the master's bedroom, lounge and cloakroom on the third floor. .
It can be said that this villa is comparable to smaller castles, and its luxury is far more luxurious than Ruth Castle.
You must know that when David took over the Luce Castle, the Luce family had long been unable to make ends meet, and the Luce Castle was in urgent need of overhaul.
"Butler Jason, butler Albin will be handed over to you to manage. His responsibilities remain unchanged, and he will still handle the affairs here!" David arranged for Butler Jason with satisfaction after seeing the villa.
"Yes, Master!" Butler Jason was also happy that the family could have such an extra courtyard.
David's perception of Vice President Garrett has improved a lot. Although it is not difficult for him to buy such a villa with the divine gold coins in his hand, it is not easy to find a suitable villa in a short period of time.
The social structure of the Great World of the Gods is different from that of the Interstellar Federation. The nobles here are relatively stable. Although new nobles are constantly appearing and the old nobles are declining, the new nobles are just branches of noble families, not Promoted from the rest of the ranks.
Therefore, it is difficult to buy real estate in the hands of nobles, unless it happens that the nobles need to sell their properties, which is not common.
The Aristocratic Affairs Office itself is an organization that manages the affairs of the nobles. After some nobles go bankrupt, for various reasons, the property will be handed over to the Aristocratic Affairs Office to take care of them.
This kind of property management office does not have ownership, but has the right to use and trade on its behalf.
This is also the origin of the villa that David got. Usually, the noble affairs office will not take the initiative to sell villas like this. High-quality properties are generally value-added, and they are also an important resource. big.
Just like this incident, Deputy Chief Garrett compensated David for this villa. On the one hand, it was because David had an excellent attitude towards him, which was too much of a face, and he needed to give the same return.
On the other hand, it is also the most important. Once the villa is sent out, the cost will be paid by his superior, the deputy chief of Cora. As for how the deputy chief of Coram can find it from Dryden, or from the rest of the relevant personnel. It is not something that Deputy Chief Garrett can manage to return this expense.
"I think there is still a vacant place in the basement. I want to build an alchemy room there. What do you think?" David thought about the structure of the entire villa, and then asked the two housekeepers.
His original plan was to build an alchemy room in Luce Castle, but it would take some time to get to Jammer City from Luce Castle, which was inconvenient for the purchase of 'alchemy raw materials'.
With this villa, David can completely build the 'Alchemy Room' in the inner city, and it is very convenient to do anything here.
"Master, when the Luce family was prosperous, they once trained alchemists, and there are records of the construction of the alchemy room, but those were records more than 300 years ago!" Butler Jason said helplessly.
As a housekeeper, unable to help his master, he felt dereliction of duty.
"Master, if you want an alchemy room, then you don't need to build it!" Butler Albin hesitated, but still said.
"Steward Albin, what do you know, just say it?" David couldn't help but ask after hearing Butler Albin's words.
"Actually, the original owner of this villa was an apprentice alchemist. After inheriting the title of lord and a considerable wealth, the apprentice alchemist became addicted to alchemy. I built an alchemy room in the villa and practiced by myself every day. In the end, I not only lost all my wealth, but also failed to become an alchemist!" Butler Albin continued.
His words actually meant exhortation, but he didn't know that David's "alchemy" level had reached the master level, and he would never become like the former owner of this villa.
"So there is an alchemy room in this villa?" David couldn't help but be surprised when he heard another meaning in Butler Albin's words.
The construction of the alchemy room is very long, regardless of the amount of gold coins and time spent. What he considers is to build the alchemy room while temporarily finding a place to practice 'alchemy'.
I didn't expect that there is an alchemy room in this villa, so he can use it directly.
"Yes, but that secret room needs spiritual talent to open!" Butler Albin sighed in his heart and replied when he saw that David didn't hear his exhortation.
"Hurry up and take me to see!" David said with a wave of his hand.
Butler Albin took David to the study on the first floor, and he led David to stop in front of an art statue.
"This is the entrance to the secret room, you can only try to open it yourself, I only know the location!" Butler Albin said, pointing to the art statue.
David nodded, and the Shadow Servant flew to the wall behind the art statue under his mind control. Some isolation patterns were drawn on the wall to completely cover the atmosphere inside the wall.
Behind the wall is a small room. The walls of the room are full of cabinets, and the cabinets are full of various crystal bottles and material boxes.
In the middle of the room is an alchemy table, and next to the alchemy table is a tool cabinet.
Although the configuration of this alchemy room is incomparable to those in David's phantom, it is absolutely extravagant for a trainee alchemist.
It's no wonder that the trainee alchemist would go bankrupt because of 'alchemy'. Without knowing his own strength, how could he not go bankrupt with such a huge investment.
Withdrawing the Shadow Servant, David observed the statue in front of him. There was a mental detection pattern hidden in the statue's seemingly ordinary carving technique.
In theory, David is a 'master alchemist', and he just glanced at it and found the mental detection pattern.
His spirit touched the node of the spirit detection pattern lightly, and then the statue moved away, revealing a hidden door that was blocked by the statue and was just for one person to enter and exit.
A look of sadness flashed on Butler Albin's face. He once saw with his own eyes that the previous owner went bankrupt because he was addicted to 'alchemy'. Now the new owner seems to be also addicted to 'alchemy', and the consequences are probably not much different from the previous owner.
As a housekeeper, the only thing he can do is to pray that David's alchemist will waste less divine gold coins, so that bankruptcy will come later.
Sometimes it is not a good thing to have spiritual talent. In fact, unless the spiritual talent reaches a certain level, formal alchemists will not accept trainee alchemists, because the probability of success of trainee alchemists with low spiritual talent is too low.
Too many young people with spiritual talents who are only qualified, with infinite longing for 'alchemy', because there is no official alchemist to accept it, they devote themselves to 'alchemy' at their own expense.
David walked into the alchemy room. He stroked the patterns on the alchemy table with his hands. These patterns made the alchemy table stronger and more resistant to high temperature and corrosion. The most important thing was the protective cover on the alchemy table, which could make the table Toxic substances on it will not affect the alchemist.
In the tool cabinet on the side are more than ten quills of various specifications, three sets of carving knives for carving different materials, and some other tools.
He walked to the cabinet on the wall again. Most of the crystal bottles and material boxes here were empty, but these crystal bottles and material boxes alone were worth a lot of money.
You must know that these crystal bottles and material boxes are exclusively used for 'alchemy materials'. If the purchased 'alchemy materials' are not kept properly, it is likely that a large amount of utility will be lost.
These crystal bottles and material boxes are also 'alchemy items'. David did not buy them at the same time because the materials purchased this time did not need to be stored for a long time.
Of course, on the other hand, the number of divine gold coins in hand is limited. Even if one million divine gold coins are a lot, if they are really used, it may not be enough to set up such an alchemy room.
David didn't know the reason why the former owner here would rather go bankrupt than sell the alchemy room, but he clearly knew that this time he took a big advantage, and a complete alchemy room could be more expensive than this villa.
"Does the Noble Affairs Office know that there is this alchemy room?" David turned to look at Butler Albin and asked.
"Yes, when the Noble Affairs Office took over this villa, I thought Lord Hammond would take it back one day!" Butler Albin nodded.
"Is Lord Hammond the former owner of this place?" David asked.
"Yes, five years after I took over this villa at the Noble Affairs Office, I heard the news of Lord Hammond's death!" Butler Albin's voice was low.
David did not ask why Steward Albin told him about the alchemy room. Perhaps Steward Albin wanted to become an official steward of the Luce family and return to the status of the noble steward.
