Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 60: Real estate

   "Everyone is okay?" After releasing a [Detection Magic] to confirm that there is no other extraordinary around, Lawrence asked aloud.

   "It's okay." "It's okay." Syfiel and Fatina replied at the same time, and then everyone began to collect the spoils. Fortunately, this place itself is relatively remote and the level of public security is also very average. So after hearing the gunshots, not only did no one come over to check, but they avoided the distance. This gave Lawrence and them enough time.

   After searching the two bodies, they used the keys they found to open the dilapidated warehouse known as the studio. After lighting an oil lamp hanging on the wall, Syfiel quickly found their target this time.

   "I think, I found what we were looking for." When he came to the only table in the room, Safir pointed to the pile of parts on the table and said. "Fortunately, we came in time."

   was indeed timely, because the pendant they were looking for had already been taken apart at this time, and the crystal on the back cover was thrown aside. Fortunately, the most important portrait of Miss Marshall's hair and enamel are just scattered on one side and not destroyed. And beside these things, something that looked like motor oil was placed in a transparent glass beaker, exuding a kind of sour herbal smell.

   "Why does he collect such things?" Saifei asked somewhat puzzled. "Is it because he is a pervert? Just like when I was going to school in Langtignyam, the capital of Briton, I heard that a pervert stole the students from the girls’ school next to us and dried them on the balcony. Clothing."

   "It shouldn't be." Lawrence once again released a [Detection Magic], but found a magical reaction behind a painting. He stepped forward to pick up an easel and uncovered the oil painting on the wall, and immediately found that two notebooks and an Aurora-style scroll were placed in a hole in the wall, and the magical light radiated from that scroll.

   After putting on his gloves and taking out these things, Lawrence wrapped them in a canvas and put them together with the spoils he had just collected.

After checking the studio carefully, Lawrence and the others left here together and rushed to Mr. Marshall’s residence. Based on the conversation they had just concluded, all the important things of that guy should be placed in this place. As for the things in his room, I guess. It can only make others cheaper.

   After all, the people in the place where he lives are too complicated and familiar with each other. It is not a good idea to put yourself in an awkward situation for a little money.

   Lawrence and the others quickly took the carriage to Marshall's house, and then under the guidance of the butler, they met Dalton Marshall and showed the pendant that was taken apart.

"Thank you! Thank you so much. Thanks to you my niece, this relic can be retrieved." Dalton Marshall took the pendant that turned into a hospital and touched the bunch of hair with the ring on his hand. , And then shook Sefei's hand vigorously. "It's getting a bit late now, it shouldn't be convenient for you to go back. Now I let the butler take you to the guest room to rest."

   After finishing talking, he signaled the housekeeper to rest in the guest room at Lawrence, and then he hurriedly let the coachman put on the carriage and drove to the place where his brother lived.

   After sleeping in the soft goose down quilt for a night, Lawrence got up from the bed early. When he finished his personal hygiene and rushed to the restaurant, breakfast was ready, and the two ladies soon appeared at the table.

   Today’s breakfast is the most hearty meal Lawrence has eaten since he came to this world: roasted bacon, roasted mushrooms, roasted tomatoes on a white porcelain plate. The picture shows a toast with butter, a few sausages and two poached eggs. There was also a pot of fruit vinegar and a small plate of dried cranberries next to it.

  Lawrence and Fatina were very happy to eat, only Syfiel felt average. After all, during her four years in Briton, she often ate this cloth-style full breakfast at a girls’ school.

"Okay, kids, you can take a look at the house that now belongs to you. My housekeeper will come with you with all the documents." Just after Lawrence and the others finished their breakfast, Dalton Marshall took a look. He walked over and said to them, "In addition to the share you deserve, I also gave you a small gift. You can see it when you get there."

   The property is very close to this place, and Lawrence and the others rushed there after sitting in the carriage for five minutes. After seeing the beautiful First Civilization Expedition Monument at the entrance of the street, Lawrence immediately recognized that this was one of the most famous commercial streets in Eagle Fort, Lime Tree Street.

   This street is not very wide, it can only accommodate two carriages passing by. The sidewalks on both sides of the road are planted with lush linden trees, museums, libraries, and some high-end clothing stores and jewelry stores are distributed in the buildings on both sides of the street.

   The property that Mr. Marshall gave to Lawrence is on this street. It is a three-story building painted blue. Look at the sign. This used to be Marshall’s art store. Unfortunately, the style of this building is a bit old due to the long construction time. On the whole it is not as attractive as the surrounding shops with large glass windows.

   After entering the store, Lawrence and the others also knew what Mr. Marshall's so-called gift was: In addition to a renovation budget of up to 500 yuan, he also paid property taxes for the house for three years.

   "Ha, we can finally gain a foothold in this city." After the Marshall housekeeper left with the signed documents, Syfiel excitedly said to Lawrence and the others.

   When signing the document just now, Safir strongly requested that the property be shared by the three of them. UU read www.uukanshu.com because she believed that the property was obtained entirely because of the joint efforts of the three. Her character and moral cultivation do not allow her to take away more than her share at this time.

   Besides, Safir knows that even if he has so-called aristocratic blood, he has gone to a good girls' school for further study. But this is also the last benefit that her blood can bring to her. All the next steps have to rely on her to work hard, and this effort also includes finding some like-minded partners.

   Saifei is not the kind of good girl, she yearns for independence and freedom. Under this circumstance, she refused to become a tool man of the Coburg family. Naturally, this was equivalent to rejecting all other help from other families.

   Powerful families like the Coburg family often provide corresponding free education to non-primary descendants of those families according to their level. In this process, these non-primary descendants will face various temptations.

   For these noble families, if the temptation is successful, then the family will have one more tool person and directly powerful family. And if the temptation is unsuccessful, people with such a firm consciousness will often achieve something. For the family, it is very likely that it will come in handy in the future. This is also one of the important reasons why these families can maintain a long time.

   So that's why Safir is very happy now, because this property is not just a property for her, but a cornerstone of her foothold in this big city.

   "You're right." Lawrence nodded. He was also very happy to own a property here. After all, many things are inconvenient to do while living in a church. It is much better to have your own base.
