Uncle Gajeel stayed to continue discussing the divorce, while sisters Kingsley and Ewennie accompanied Carl to see the house.

This is a two-story house built with a mixture of brick and wood.

The walls have been specially reinforced, the doors are mostly arched, and the flying beam design makes the house look lighter and more delicate.

The upstairs is used for accommodation and the downstairs is for entertaining guests. It is divided into seven rooms in total. Each room is very spacious, even the bedrooms.

The kitchen and dining room are located close to the entrance to facilitate the preparation and distribution of food and drinks.

The living room is located in the center of the house.

In addition to the bedroom, there is also a cloakroom upstairs, which can be converted into a small chapel or laboratory.

There is another bathroom, which is divided into two parts, the outside for washing and the inside for using the toilet, separated by a folding door in the middle.

Overall, the layout of this house is reasonable, but it lacks popularity and the furniture is incomplete, making it feel very desolate. After all, no one has lived there for a long time.

in addition,

Wooden houses also have their disadvantages.

Due to the age of the building and the gnawing of insects and ants, many of the wooden piles have rotted. If you want to formally live in it, you have to spend some time and effort to repair it. The cost is not small and it also seriously affects its selling price.

"There is also a storage room in the basement. Due to design issues, the ventilation is poor. Remember to ventilate it before entering."

Kingsley took Carl around: "How is it?"

"very good."

Carl nodded:

"I am very satisfied."

Compared to the house, he was more satisfied with this small courtyard of more than 100 square meters, where he could rest at any time.

Every time he came back from the gloomy Black City, the thing he wanted to do most was to bask in the sun.

Moreover, the separate courtyard also makes it convenient to transport goods.

As for other defects, they were of no concern to him. As a wizard apprentice, he had plenty of ways to solve them.

"As long as you are satisfied."

Kingsley smiled and said, "Then let's sign the contract. Forty gold coins. I didn't expect you to have such a large inheritance."

heritage!

Carl explained his wealth by saying that his grandfather had left a legacy specifically in the Mountbatten Bank.

As for whether others believe it or not...

Believe it or not.

"After buying the house, I will be penniless." Carl sighed pretentiously: "Pay ten gold coins first, and the rest will be paid within a month."

"No problem." Kingsley waved his hand:

"You are my cousin, so I still have some trust in you."

She looked very happy; after all, forty gold coins were far more than the house should be worth.

As for the sadness of divorce...

She would only be glad that she had regained her freedom and would be eager to be freed from her marriage.

"Eweni."

After signing the contract, when the two women were about to board the carriage to leave, Karl remembered something and invited Ivni: "Are you free tonight? A friend of mine will be performing at the Wim Opera House today. Would you like to go with me?"

"ah!"

Eweni was ecstatic at first, then she looked at Kingsley, thought for a moment, and shook her head with regret: "I want to accompany my sister."

My sister is getting divorced and there are a lot of things to deal with at home. Even if she doesn't need to help, she can't play on her own.

"Yes." Carl expressed his understanding: "Then we can get together again sometime."

* * * "Crepes! Crepes for a penny!"

"Fish and chips, candied fruit, sold at a low price..."

“…”

In front of the Wim Opera House, stalls crowded the road and the sounds of hawking were endless.

The theater's order maintainers had to shout and push loudly before they could barely make way for a passage.

After getting off the carriage, Carl followed the crowd towards the ticket entrance, when suddenly someone grabbed his sleeve.

“Karl!”

"Yeah." Carl turned around, looking surprised:

"Captain Dinah, what...what is this outfit?"

As the eldest daughter of Viscount Sassoon, Dinah had no shortage of money, so her clothes were naturally exquisite and gorgeous.

Today is different.

Her pretty facial features were also covered by plaster, and at first glance she looked no different from those lower-class women on the street.

It’s no wonder that Karl failed to recognize her at first, but this outfit was obviously intentional.

Suddenly he asked, "Are you doing an investigation?"

In recent times, Dina has rarely appeared in the inspection office. It is said that she is concentrating on investigating the mummy case.

Too bad it's not well supported.

The people in the Inspection Office are all from wealthy families and have no shortage of food and drink. How many of them are willing to take risks and risk their lives?

"Um."

Dinah had a blank expression:

"You should have concert tickets on you, I'll pay double the price, sell them to me, I need to go in for something."

"Sir." Carl shook his head. "Concerts require neat clothing. With the way you're dressed now, I'm afraid you may not be able to get in even if you have a ticket."

Then he took out two tickets and gestured:

"Let's go!"

Dinah raised an eyebrow, then snorted softly, raised her hand to wipe her face, took off her headscarf and let her long hair spread out.

After her simple treatment, although the clothes were still shabby, the whole person's temperament changed.

Especially the radiance from those delicate facial features, which completely overshadowed everything else.

Taking a step forward, Dinah took Carl's arm and leaned her body to be close to each other, walking side by side, looking like a loving couple.

"You two, please come in."

The ticket inspector checked the tickets, his eyes paused on Dina, and then he stretched out his hand to wave her.

It is not uncommon for wealthy people to bring their mistresses to high-end places, and the quality of these mistresses is also very high.

It's just that the man is a bit stingy and doesn't even buy me decent clothes when I come to the theater.

Dina was not moved by the strange gaze. After entering the theater, she immediately let go of her hand and distanced themselves from each other, which made Carl, who was immersed in the soft experience, feel a little regretful.

"Thank you for this time. I'll buy you a drink when I get a chance."

After a polite remark, without waiting for Carl to answer, Dina dodged into the crowd and disappeared.

…………

Members of the Barrow Singing Group performed with all their might, and the singers’ voices were clear, bright and very penetrating.

The music surged like the tide, and every note seemed to have life, jumping and spinning in the air, striking people's hearts.

But even with such a wonderful performance, some people were still absent-minded.

A corner of the theater.

"Three gold coins?"

A beautiful woman exclaimed in a low voice: "Why is the price going up again?"

"Goods are in short supply, so it's not normal for prices to rise." A man in a long robe snorted and said slowly:

"Of course, you don't have to buy it."

"Three gold coins is really too expensive." The woman looked embarrassed: "I have already spent nearly fifty gold coins on you. Can you give me a discount this time?"

"I said..." the man said indifferently, "You don't have to buy it."

?

The woman's face changed, she struggled, and finally sighed helplessly: "I'll buy it."

As he spoke, he took out his exquisite purse, took out a gold coin and twenty gold pounds and handed them over.

"Is the product correct?"

"When did you miss it?" The man borrowed the money and finally smiled. He then handed over a porcelain bottle: "It's the same as always, three drops at a time, once a week."

"clatter!"

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grasped the porcelain bottle.

Dinah's figure emerged:

"So, this is what is called the Purity Potion?"

"You..." The man's face changed, and then he suddenly jumped out as if there were springs under his feet.

"Want to escape?"

Dina snorted:

"Can you escape?"
