book of old days

Chapter 153 Strange Dreamland
He saw Alhaz soaked in the river water, his skin became white and swollen due to long-term soaking, his face was covered with water plants, but there was still a smile on his livid face.

Coming towards him in the deep darkness, Sean found himself surrounded by sea water, unable to even breathe.

Alhaz's body grew scales and tentacles of sea creatures, and weird appendages and eyeballs grew from the surface of his body. Sean looked at this terrifying scene in horror, and Alhaz's piercing laughter echoed in his ears. Voice……

The second dream Sean had was the scene where he beheaded Aum.

But the difference is that when he cut off Aum's head, the head rolled in front of him, and when he looked closely, the face turned out to be his own.

"Isn't it a pleasure to reunite with an old friend after a long absence?" the head said.

Sean looked at the familiar face and remained silent for a long time. Just as he was about to say something, eight legs grew out of his head and crawled away like a crab.

The strange thing is that Sean didn't feel scared when he saw this weird scene, but felt very funny instead.

The third dream Sean had, he dreamed that he was flying in the sky, looking down on everything on the ground like an eagle.

At the beginning, the city street of Sword Castle was below, but the scene changed quickly, and it appeared near the old house in Oak Valley, but the old house turned into a splendid palace. The Oak Valley was full of oak trees, and countless dwarves were Picking acorns under the tree, Wednesday sat on the throne at the top of the palace, chanting loudly, and hundreds of gnomes crawled at its feet, and they prayed loudly with Wednesday's meeting.

"Great godslayer, creator of life, protector of dwarves, god of the sun, Sean, we humble and insignificant things pray to you, offer our faith, pray for your protection, may the sun shine , is your pure land, and the land covered by the sky is your domain, and may our humble souls live forever in your divine kingdom."

The voice was deafening and unusually neat. For some reason, he felt a warm feeling coming out of his body, which made the trace of uneasiness in his heart disappear.

When he woke up the next morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the sun shining through the gap in the curtains and falling on his face, which was very warm and comfortable.

Sean felt a lot more relaxed. The grotesque dreams of last night had become blurred at this time, only the last dream was still clear. Wednesday and those dwarves, as well as the prayers they chanted aloud, had been Countless people worship is such a feeling, it feels pretty good, even if it's just a group of dwarves.

When Sean was having breakfast, he was no longer flustered like yesterday. He was munching on buttered toast while thinking about today's itinerary.

He has a lot of things to do recently, but first of all, he still has to start with buying a house and land. Only with a stable base can he flex his muscles.

So the first thing is to start with buying a manor.

There are many large manors and ancient castles around Sword Castle. In the Old Kingdom era, Sword Castle used to be a large military fortress, and it was also the largest military manufacturing base of the Kingdom of Brighton. Every civil war in the Kingdom of Brighton, Sword Fort is a battleground for military strategists, hence the name of Sword Fort.

To this day, Sword Castle still has the top three large arsenals in the Kingdom of Brighton.

The nobles in ancient times usually lived in castles, but now it has been peaceful for too long. Those ancient castles are not comfortable to live in. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. The narrow interior space makes nobles move out one after another. Conditional The purchase of a manor residence.

Those who have no money simply go to Chenglai to live in an apartment, and there are very few nobles who still live in the castle.

Sean will now plan to buy such a manor to live in. Of course, if there is a castle with a good environment, he can also consider it. After all, the castle is relatively closed and it is easier to hide his actions.

After breakfast, Sean went straight to the estate planning center located in the urban area. This is a semi-official institution, and almost all large-scale properties are listed for sale here.

Hearing that Sean was going to buy a manor estate and that he was a member of the Society of Rationality, the officials of the Planning Center welcomed him warmly and appointed a clerk to serve him.

The clerk is a middle-aged man in his 30s, named Jonathan, wearing gold-rimmed eyes, a white top hat, holding a palm with a ox bone ball, and hanging a briefcase, a very professional look.

The two were driving out of the city in a carriage, while Jonathan asked Sean about his request.

"Does Mr. Sean have any requirements for the property to be purchased?"

"It needs to be big enough and far enough away from the city. I don't like bustle, so it's better to be remote, and the safety must be guaranteed."

Jonathan nodded, and took out a stack of files from his briefcase.

"I think I have a property that meets your requirements."

He showed the information one by one in front of Sean.

"How about this manor? There is a big house, including [-] acres of land nearby, almost all of which are farmland. If you find the right people to cultivate it, you can have a good continuous income."

Sean looked at the open field in the photo and shook his head, "No, it's too open, I hope it can be more hidden."

"Then how about this manor? There are two houses next to the Sailen River Valley. The place is a little smaller, and there are only some scattered land next to the river beach."

Sean looked at the photo and shook his head again, "This terrain is easily flooded in heavy rain, right?"

Jonathan showed no impatience and kept showing new photos, but Sean was not very satisfied.

He suddenly saw a photo, "This is—"

The photo shows a castle built under a cliff. Because it is a black and white photo, it looks a bit gloomy. The mountain next to the castle is very high, and the steep cliff makes the castle built on the selected side look very dangerous. Feel.

"This castle is the fief of Earl Hobson. Since his family's decline, he sold the castle to an upstart businessman in the city.

But the businessman probably just took a fancy to the castle's illustrious history, but he didn't know that living in it was not comfortable. He remodeled the castle and installed some modern living facilities. Unfortunately, he invested and went bankrupt soon after. , so I entrusted me to help sell it.

Although it is not comparable to a serious manor, it is much more comfortable than an ordinary castle. I went to the castle to check. The main body of the building is very strong and hardly needs any repairs. Although the mountain next to it looks very steep, it is actually The mountain is rocky, so there shouldn't be any danger.

This castle is not too far from Sword Fort. If you go up to the bell tower in the DC area, you can see the peak of the mountain. The only problem is that this castle is a bit remote, although the gathering is not too far away, but Surrounded by mountain peaks, there is only a narrow mountain road to enter and exit, which is very difficult to find, and the surrounding land is also very barren, with no output. "

Sean doesn't really care about this, the more remote the better, it's best to make a big noise and no one can hear it, that's the best.

If the land is barren, it is barren, and he has no intention of farming.

"It's here, take me to have a look."
