The two little boys arrived at the gate smoothly without any hindrance or hindrance. Just when they happily picked up the ball and were about to finish the game easily, the two of them raised their heads in unison.
In front of them was an oak door, covered with messy scratches, like claws or unintentional graffiti. There was lightless darkness between the small cracks in the door, and there seemed to be some movement. The little boys seemed to be attracted by some sound. They stared there and slowly raised their hands to touch the door.
Oops! Griffith took out the light and rushed forward. Just as he was mobilizing his energy to prepare for battle, the two little boys were suddenly awakened. They turned around neatly and walked back quickly with blank eyes.
"You won," Griffith breathed a sigh of relief and threw the centimes to them. "Did you hear or see anything at the door?"
"No," the two little boys said in unison as if they were endorsements, "we will never go there again."
It seems that dangerous items with ominous auras are stored in the warehouse. Considering that items related to ancient gods may be sealed here, the danger is obvious.
A certain degree of defense is set up outside the warehouse. Objects exceeding a certain speed will be slowed down when they approach. If passers-by approach unintentionally, a suggestive spell will be cast on them. Homemonworth obviously will not set up fatal traps in the market, and the defensive measures are still mainly to drive away and hint.
Of course, if you encounter the outer restrictions and then try to break through, you will most likely run into the inner countermeasures.
There is nothing wrong with the school's handling measures. If the first layer of defense adopts radical strategies that may lead to dangerous measures or allow the smell of dangerous goods to disappear, then there will be riots here at any time, and there will be many people spying on the secrets of the warehouse. Excuses and ways to tear open the defense line.
There are many gentler ways to enter the warehouse. For example, Griffith can start from the dances and dinners of the principal or Professor Salorian, and then how to improve his favorability in academic and social aspects. However, there is such a thing as a demigod spellcaster and a spellbreaker becoming good friends...
I'm not the chosen one... Thinking of this, Griffith couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders, turned and walked towards the nearby neighborhood, and came to the door of a real estate agency selling rental houses.
The store manager was sitting in the store with the clerks when he saw the silver oak leaf knight's eagle badge on Griffith's collar at a glance, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Good afternoon, Lord Knight. Yiju Company provides all kinds of clean, comfortable housing. We can provide the best rental and buying advice!”
"Buy it," Griffith replied simply.
The store manager immediately received great encouragement and kindly laid out some information with a smile:
“We have an independent bedroom of ten square meters, and share the living room, bathroom and kitchen with two other rooms. It is relatively small, but the price is reasonable and it is very convenient to change hands.
“The second type is a townhouse with no garden, facing the street, and the entrance is the living room, but there are bay windows on the upper and lower floors, which provide good lighting and are suitable for small families.
"The third category is more expensive. It has independent front and rear gardens and a basement. It has two floors, with a small attic. It is suitable for a family of four or five. Many teaching assistants at Homemon Watts have purchased properties from us. !
"More expensive are the suburban courtyards and estates, priced at..."
A map of the town of Baltimore hangs on the wall of the store. To the southeast of the town is Homonworth. The coast, residential areas and commercial streets extend in an arc to the northwest, forming a gentle slope with high west and low east. The lower areas are the seaport, docks and warehouses, while the higher gentle slopes are the main street facing the west gate of the school.
The properties of Yiju Company are mainly concentrated on the hillside in the northwest of the town, only two to three kilometers away from the west gate of the school.
Griffith looked at the map and after a while said: "Please tell me about a single-family house with a garden and a basement, rented or purchased on a half-year basis."
"Oh——! Then you must not miss this," the store manager immediately took a sketch album from the clerk's hand.
The superb painting skills accurately present the characteristics and beauty of the cabin without over exaggerating or embellishment.
"Lord Knight, please allow me to introduce you to the single-family houses on Huayue Street.
"The house faces south. The entrance is the living room and living room. The east wall is the kitchen and fireplace. Going inside, there is a bathroom and a study room, which can also be used as a bedroom. There are two rooms upstairs.
"Quiet and private. You can see the sea from the terrace on the second floor. The sound of waves at night makes you sleep peacefully. The girls absolutely love it!"
The store manager led Griffith across two streets and came to the door of the single-family house.
It's not too far from Beria Street. It's located on a gently sloping hillside. You can see the warehouse roofs and the blue sea from the street. It's secluded but has convenient transportation.
The cottage is separated from the Homemonworth campus by the busiest commercial street, less than half an hour's walk away. The foyer faces south, with the fjord of the Sea of Tranquility to the east.
There are two bay windows facing south on the red stone brick wall. There are two small green lawns under the windows and in front of the door. You can enter the main entrance by climbing three steps. There is a peach tree under the east wall that blocks the quiet path leading to the backyard, which is quite wild.
The store manager said: "As you can see, this is an independent courtyard, completely separated from the neighbors and not disturbing each other. A stable can be built on the lawn near the door on the west wall. We can help, but there is an additional fee.
"Two floors, with a half-person-height attic, and a 25-square-meter basement. It's very dry and solid, so you don't have to worry about water seepage. This building is the easternmost one. The backyard is higher than the road. You can enjoy the sea view and the sunshine is very good. , but the price is higher than those other buildings.”
Griffith looked around. They were standing on a slightly curved street, with gradually rising hills and lush woods to the north. He stamped his feet and asked, "Where's the foundation? Is it soil or masonry underneath?"
"The foundation of the wall is made of bricks and stones, and there are sewers buried under the road," the store manager pointed to the ground and said, "Come on, let's go in and take a look."
What caught Griffith's eyes was an elegant living room, as spacious as the living room of Homemon Watts. There was a row of couches on the smooth oak floor, and a comfortable wool blanket was spread on the floor. Fireplace on the east wall.
A little further inside is a dining table that can seat six people, placed under the bright bay window, with delicate roses swaying buds from under the window sill. The sunlight shines through the glass on the floor and dining table, giving people a lazy and friendly mood.
"Not bad," the store manager said proudly, "As long as you take good care of it, this will be a cozy little nest. Does the knight have a family?"
"No." Griffith was imagining.
The store manager led him further inside: "On the left is the bathroom, in front is a single room that can be used as a study, and there is a kitchen near the backyard."
They walked upstairs together. There were spacious bedrooms facing south and north. The master bedroom to the south also has a bathroom and a small dressing room. Although there are no beds or wardrobes here, the floors and wall panels have a fresh aroma that makes people feel tired.
"Dear Lord Knight, please allow me to give you a useful suggestion," the store manager said while introducing the layout of the room. "When choosing furniture, bedding and decorations, you must let the girl decide."
You talk a lot. Griffith ignored him and climbed up the stairs to the attic. The place is very small, and some debris can be piled there, but there is no room for people to stand. There is a small circular window on the south side of the attic, from which the whole block can be observed.
"The space is not big, but you can stack a lot of things," the store manager said with experience. "Once a girl moves in, no matter how spacious the space is, it will be filled immediately."
Who said I wanted a girl to move in? Part of the function of this cabin is to hold gatherings to accumulate friendships in the next three years based on Sonia's suggestion. It is also used as a place to stack materials and attend Mr. Hermit's meetings in secret. As for the other purpose, it is definitely different from the girls. Related!
I saw that the guests had almost viewed the entire cabin. The store manager asked expectantly: "Mr. Knight, do you plan to rent or buy? I prefer leasing. The monthly rent is 120 silver francs."
"Where's the purchase?"
"If you pay the full price at one time, the price is 30,000 silver francs. Buying is also a good idea. Baltimore Town is becoming more and more prosperous. If you want to move away in the future, you can easily find a new home."
30,000 silver francs, this price is not cheap for a single-family house in a small town, but it is still acceptable. If you bargain, you may be able to reduce it, but I am not good at it. Griffith thought as he walked toward the backyard.
During the Canaan incident, he killed many elves. Although they had no money on them, the magic ornaments, mysterious items, gems and materials they captured could still be sold for 100,000 to 120,000 silver francs after dividing some of them among Galadia. This is despite the fact that many items were damaged in battle or could not be taken away.
With this money, it would not be difficult for him to purchase a property.
Griffith discussed the price with the store manager, but was unable to gain much room for counter-offering. After checking the certificate of the house, signing the contract and paying part of the deposit, the store manager happily went back to go through the formalities and left the cabin to Griffith.
The would-be knight fell down on the sofa, and the refreshing sea breeze blew into the room, making him feel extremely comfortable.
This spacious room is really different from the attic.
Griffith jumped to his feet. Go to the basement.
Just as the store manager said, the basement here is strong and spacious and can be used as a storage room or bedroom. He walked along the wall several times, stopped at the south wall, and dug at the wall with his fingers.
The bricks and stones fell down, and a small hole was soon dug out.
Starting from the basement, go down the gentle slope and pass the sewer two hundred meters ahead to reach the wall foundation of Warehouse No. 13.
From the beginning, Griffith had no intention of breaking through the defense there in a short time.
Since the principal has sealed the place, Griffith will not break in out of respect for the demigod. In the following time, Minos will drive the puppets for him to dig according to the predetermined route and project volume until the foundation of Warehouse 13 is opened. If the school has also set up defense lines and restrictions for the curse under the foundation, he can also try to crack it quietly underground.
