Chapter 232: Manor on the Hill
Chapter 232: Manor on the Hill
After nearly ten hours of sleep, Liu Chi suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. He woke up not because he arrived in Lilo, but because he had to urinate.
The movement in Liu Chi also woke up Yang Xi.
"Master, are you awake? Are we there yet?"
"No, but it's almost time. What do you want to eat?"
After waking up, Liu Chi did not plan to continue sleeping, but prepared to eat. Including the time for eating and resting for a while after eating, he should be able to reach Lilo.
After hearing Yang Xi's answer, Liu Chi walked out of the room and told Nanako the menu.
After resting for more than an hour after dinner, the fortress stopped because it had reached the set location.
Liu Chi used molecular teleportation to send the two to an empty alley near Alice Chamber of Commerce. After coming out of the alley, they headed straight for Alice Chamber of Commerce.
After arriving on the second floor, Liu Chi discovered that Westan Lee had actually taken charge of the reception himself, but Liu Chi understood that he was just waiting for him.
"Baron Zach, you are here! Follow me!"
Weistan Lee greeted them and led the two of them to the box room.
After the three of them sat down, Weistan Lee did not use too many honorifics, but went straight to the point.
"The Alice Chamber of Commerce has approved the price proposed by the Baron, but at this price, we only support one-time transactions and cannot purchase in installments."
Liu Chi laughed. He had no plan to pay in installments. Not only was it troublesome, but the handling fees were also quite high.
Liu Chi took out the intact check for 20,000 diamond coins from his space ring, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it forward a short distance.
"This is a check for 20,000 diamond coins. Please take a look!"
Weistan Lee stared at the check that Liu Chi took out, put it in front of himself, and took out the magnifying glass he carried with him.
Seeing Westan Lee looking at his check seriously, the question of whether he could use it immediately popped up in Liu Chi's mind. After all, this was his first time using a large check.
In addition, the originally white paper had turned yellow because it had been buried underground for several years.
"After deducting 14,000 diamond coins from your check for 20,000 diamond coins, do you want to exchange the remaining diamond coins into checks or cash?"
After hearing what Westan Lee said, Liu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his check could be used.
"Change five thousand into checks, and cash the remaining one thousand."
"Okay, please move to the lounge on the fourth floor. I'll handle these formalities for you. Alice's process will take about an hour. When you sign, the manor will be yours."
"it is good!"
After Weistan Lee left the room, Liu Chi also took Yang Xi to the fourth floor.
Although Liu Chi knew what the first, second and third floors were used for, he had never been to the fourth floor.
After walking up the stairs to the fourth floor, there was a female receptionist standing at the stairs.
"Baron Zach, please come with me!"
Although Liu Chi didn't know why the strange female receptionist in front of him knew him, he still followed her in.
On the fourth floor, the female receptionist led Liu Chi and the other person to a room door, turned around and greeted Liu Chi,
"Lord Baron, please rest here now. Alice will handle your affairs properly. Please wait patiently. If necessary, please press the magic device in the room!"
Liu Chi looked at the tightly closed door of the room, put his hand on it, and with a light press, the door opened a small gap.
"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave first!"
The receptionist said hello and left.
Liu Chi pushed open the door of the room and walked in with Yang Xi.
The interior of the room is very luxurious. After walking through the three-meter-long entrance hall, you will see three large leather sofas neatly placed in the living room. On the wooden table surrounded by the sofas, there are not only snacks but also steaming tea.
Further in is the bathroom and a separate room with a large bed, and next to them is a study.
After reading it roughly, Liu Chi took a few books from the study, came to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.
Yang Xi leaned his little head on Liu Chi and read the same book with him.
Due to Liu Chi's terrifying reading speed of almost one page per second, Yang Xi, who couldn't keep up, simply leaned his head on Liu Chi. He didn't put the words in the book into his brain like Liu Chi did.
After reading through the several books he had taken out, Liu Chi stood up and put them back in their original places. Not long after he returned to the living room, he heard a knock on the door.
After opening the door, it was Westan Lee with a folder in his hand.
"Sorry for the long wait, Baron Zach!"
"come in."
Liu Chi felt that the sound insulation of this room was exceptionally good. Unlike before, when he could sense the presence of someone through the slight vibrations on the ground, Liu Chi suspected that the fourth floor was where Alice Chamber of Commerce negotiated with major clients.
After the three of them took their seats, Westan Lee first handed Liu Chi a check for five thousand diamond coins.
"Mr. Baron, here is a check for 5,000 diamond coins. Please take a look!"
Liu Chi picked up the brand new check, checked it for a moment, and then put it directly into the space ring.
Weistan Lee then handed over five exquisite small bags.
"My Lord Baron, here are 1,000 diamond coins, divided into five bags for you. Please take a look!"
After Liu Chi saw the five bags, he directly put them into the space ring.
"Mr. Baron, this is our transaction contract, please take a look!"
Liu Chi glanced over the contract and signed his name at the very end.
After Weston Lee took back the contract, he used magic props to immediately copy another copy of the contract.
"Please keep this contract yourself, Baron!"
Liu Chi put the contract handed over by Wei Stan Lee into the space ring.
After doing all this, West Lee took out three bunches of keys, placed them on the table, and explained to Liu Chi,
"My Lord Baron, these are the keys to your manor. The three sets of keys correspond to different areas of the manor. I only know that these two are the keys to the courtyard and the mansion. You may need to explore the remaining keys yourself."
After finishing speaking, Weistan Lee took out a few more drawings.
"My Lord Baron, these are the architectural drawings of the manor. They will help you get familiar with the structure of the manor. The numbers of the keys to unlock each area are also marked on them."
Liu Chi still put the key and drawings directly into the space ring.
After seeing that Weistan Lee didn't seem to have anything to take out, Liu Chi asked,
"Any more?"
"That's all for now, I won't bother you any more!"
After Weistan Lee stood up, Liu Chi also stood up.
"What are you doing?"
"I have to go check out my estate too, right?"
"But I advise you to go tomorrow during the day. When you get there in a while, I think it will be night, so you'd better be careful."
"Thanks for the reminder, but I never believed in these things. I need to investigate further."
"Then you better be careful. I won't send you off here!"
"it is good!"
Liu Chi took Yang Xi out of the Alice Chamber of Commerce building, arrived at an empty alley, and teleported directly back to the fortress.
After changing the new coordinates, Liu Chi and Yang Xi were directly teleported to the newly purchased manor because the manor itself was abandoned.
Before it got dark, Yanagiike confirmed the basic situation and immediately asked Nanako to arrange several robots to come down and do the work.
The advantage of using robots to work is that they don’t get tired, they won’t be unable to see because it’s too dark, and they are highly efficient and won’t make mistakes.
"I'll leave the cleaning up to you, Nanako. Help me keep an eye out for any irregularities in this manor. Use these keys for any doors that won't open."
After saying that, Liu Chi placed the three bunches of keys directly at the fountain in the courtyard of the manor.
After a brief stroll inside the manor, Liu Chi lost interest. After all, the manor was in disrepair after a long period of time. Apart from the fact that there was no place to rest, even the most basic hygiene was not up to standard. The old dust on the wooden floor could not be cleaned without mopping it a dozen times.
After explaining everything to Nanako, Yanagiike took the key to the manor alone, opened the door, and walked along the stone road covered with weeds.
Liu Chi wants to try and see how to get from the manor to the United Guild and how far to go.
Seeing that Liu Chi did not use molecular teleportation, Yang Xi also understood the reason. The first thing had been done, and the second was that he wanted to test the route and distance from the manor to other places.
Relying on the Lilo map in his mind, Liu Chi went down the hill where the manor was located and spent nearly an hour walking to the gate of the United Guild.
Liu Chi knew that this was still due to his physical limitations. If it were someone else like Lance who was physically strong, once they got down the mountain, the time they would take to walk from the street to the United Guild would be even shorter than his.
Liu Chi was smart now. He put on a hood, a mask, and a black robe, and dressed like Yang Xi, and walked into the crowded United Guild.
The United Guild is a magical place, and even without a commission, many people like the atmosphere here. Many adventurers without a home even regard this place as their own home. After all, the United Guild provides food and accommodation, and you only have to pay, or become an adventurer within the guild.
As the two entered, many people looked over. Because there was no leader, people did not recognize Liu Chi and the other person, and they did not know their relationship with the black robe team, even though they were wearing black robes.
The black robe style adventurer outfit is even more outrageous than the baron style. Although it became popular much earlier than the baron style, it obviously lacks staying power and has become a limited edition for adventurers.
After looking through the commissions on the notice board, Liu Chi took Yang Xi away from the United Guild. If calculated according to the time of the bet, Catherine and others should have stayed in the hotel obediently for these three days waiting for news from him.
After confirming, Liu Chi and Yang Xi got on a carriage and headed towards the hotel.
After getting off the carriage, a ragged girl was kneeling in front of the inn, and she caught Liu Chi's attention.
