Arcane Universe

steward took Feng Chou to visit the entire villa, and when he returned to the first floor again, all the servants in the villa were already concentrated in the lobby on the first floor.

They stood in a row under the order of the chief maid, waiting for Feng Chou’s inspection.

Steward introduced these servants to him. They included the maid, the former master’s personal maid. She was a pretty young girl. These two people, plus Steward, were considered senior servants in this villa. .

Apart from this, there is also a chef, two ordinary maids who are responsible for the sanitation in the villa, and a gardener who is responsible for the garden.

The janitor does not belong to the servant of this villa, he is a member of a mercenary group that signed a long-term escort contract with Xia Zuo.

This mercenary group has contracted the defense work of this villa in the form of annuity. They must send one person to serve as the janitor during the day and a five-person squad to patrol the villa at night.

The neighborhood where the villa is located is a wealthy neighborhood. There are police patrols during the day, which is relatively safe, but not necessarily at night.

After reading it, Feng Chou was quite satisfied. At least he didn’t notice any situation such as staying in the owner’s room while the owner was not there. The entire villa was cleaned and the garden was neat and tidy.

The servants looked at the new master and were a little nervous, especially the head maid and the close maid, even a little frightened.

Generally speaking, the personal maids of this World are a bit like the housekeepers in ancient China. In addition to serving the master’s daily life, she also serves the master’s desire.

The maid maid is generally a close friend of the is Master. For example, in Amborit, the maid who died Baron was his personal maid when he was young.

Of course, the maid of this villa will not be an old man led by Amberit, because when Xia Zuo bought the property here, he did not use his original identity. He planned to treat the property here as a sly individual has more than one plan to fall back on to operate.

The head maid here is a woman in her thirties. From Feng Chou’s eyes, she is at an age full of mature charm, and she looks a bit similar to the appearance of a close maid. , There should be a blood relationship between the two parties.

For personal servants and maids who rely on the trust and favor of their masters to gain a foothold, changing masters often means going out.

Fortunately, Feng Chou not at all plans to change servants.

Next, Feng Chou stayed in the villa. He did not refuse the hospitality of the maid and the close maid, but he did not accept their further hints. On the one hand, Feng Chou Without this mood, on the other hand, he doesn’t plan to live here for a long time.

Looking at the personal maid who looked terrified because she refused to take care of the bed, Feng Chou couldn’t help comforting her a little bit. This terrified girl reminded Feng Chou of Leo. The personal maid in her youth.

At that time, the freckled girl was as frightened and helpless as this close-knit maid.

Thinking of that girl, Feng Chou will have strong regrets in his heart. He will think of the scene of Leo and her innocent playmates when he was a child, of Leo’s ruthless face turning, and remembering that one is not The despair on her pretty little face remembered that that night, she rushed into Leo’s room, screaming to let Leo escape, and, facing the Drow who then rushed in, she threw her fragile body at the enemy without the slightest hesitation Going back.

These emotions make Feng Chou very helpless.

For some comfort, he sent the maid out. Feng Chou, who had just taken a comfortable hot bath, fell headlessly on the wide bed and soon fell asleep.

2nd day, Feng Chou took the carriage rented by Steward to the Commerce District, which is located on the west side of the city near the wharf area.

He visited a commercial company called Enoch.

This is a company whose main business is entrusted to manage manor houses. Xia Zuo Baron bought the jazz-level manor he bought in the southern suburbs of Yaduni, with an annuity of five kilograms per year. This company manages it on its behalf.

In other words, this company only needs to hand over to him five kilograms per year, and all other income of the territory belongs to Enoch Company.

The reason why the annuity is so low is that this manor is located close to the Owendale River embankment, directly facing the threat of the Owendale River murloc robbers, the defense pressure is very high, and it is necessary to maintain a Strong territory guard.

Feng Chou came to this commercial company to declare that he has inherited the manor. If nothing happens, he will continue to renew the contract with this company.

Feng Chou not only has a full set of inheritance procedures for the city hall, but also has the Baron title of Ancient Family. He does not seek to increase the annuity, so the process of re-signing the contract is very smooth.

After that, he went to see two commercial buildings not far from the commercial company. These were two three-story buildings next to the street.

Both buildings are white-walled and blue-roofed buildings that are very common in this World big city. The materials used are extremely solid, giving people a very heavy feeling. The floors are very high, more than five meters, and the buildings On the roof directly above the central gate, there is a baroque vault, and the whole building looks thick and powerful.

The two buildings were leased to two different companies.

One building was leased to a patriarch water trading company, and the other building was leased to a leasing company. After the leasing company divided the building, the first floor was leased to several shops , The upper floor was converted into an apartment and rented out. The two buildings can bring a total of almost 40,000 crowns to Xia Zuo every year.

The income brought by such a building far exceeds the income brought by a high-quality jazz collar, but the price of the building is actually cheaper than the jazz collar. This is probably a thousand years of land-based aristocratic thinking. It’s a strange phenomenon.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that although the building can bring wealth, it cannot bring title.

Receiving the inheritance left by Xia Zuo, Feng Chou went to several mercenary unions in Yaduni.

Adunis has a mercenary general union located in the Commerce District of the West City, located in the southern part of the city, two branches of the Northern Part of City.

Among them, the Federation of Trade Unions located in the Commerce District of West City mainly faces businessmen, especially the water transport traders who rely on the Owendale River. They mainly undertake the task of guarding the water. Most of the activities here are more credible. The elite mercenary team.

The two guilds located in the southern part of the city and the Northern Part of City mainly face the small and medium-sized nobles in the city. Most of these nobles’ territories are located near the banks of the Owendell River. They are under heavy defense pressure and often need Mercenaries help clean up the murloc robbers.

As for Dongcheng District, where there is a settlement of high-class nobles and mages, there is little demand for mercenaries.

After walking around in the mercenary union, Feng Chou was disappointed when he didn’t find the information he wanted.
