Chapter 160 Maple Leaf City Layout (I)
"Lightend, this vision is related to the formation of the space channel recorded in ancient history." The beautiful woman in a long skirt said to Lightend softly with doting eyes.
Another woman in a gorgeous dress blinked and said to her husband: "It's probably in the northeast direction, but it's hard to tell how far it is."
"Is that so?"
Lightend touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The silver dragon girl hugged her husband from behind, and the soft touch interrupted his thinking.
"Lightend, don't worry, with us here, any crisis can be resolved."
"Saralina, thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Lightend touched the silver dragon girl's head dotingly, telling her not to worry.
"Teacher, the army will be dispatched by you."
"Lilith, the coordination of various places will be left to you."
"Yes."
The two women nodded and then left the platform.
Lightend came to the edge and looked down, and could see the whole picture of Lightend City.
"Saralina, let's go to the northeast."
"Okay."
The silver dragon girl restored her true form, took off with her husband, and headed northeast.
On the way to Maple Leaf County, Weilin looked up at the sky and saw a silver dragon passing by.
"I didn't expect the search to start so soon. We have to speed up." Looking at the figure in the sky, Weilin felt a little heavy and urged his men to speed up.
They were all knights who had entered the ranks. They had been traveling for several days without sleep. Their bodies could fully support it, but they were a little tired mentally.
The group no longer paid attention to other things and concentrated on traveling towards Maple Leaf County.
After two days and one night of riding, the group finally arrived at the county town of Maple Leaf County.
Looking at the stone city with the rough architectural style of the North, after the search by the guards at the city gate and paying the entrance fee of sixteen copper coins, Weilin and his eight people successfully entered the city.
Kyle handed the purple horse to a bronze knight, came to the roadside, took out a few pieces of preserved fruit from his pocket, and gently asked the child sitting on the roadside: "Excuse me, do you know where the house trading place in the city is?"
"Over there, after passing two streets, you can see a place called Rhine Building House, where houses are sold." The child clearly answered the information Kyle wanted to know, but did not take the preserved fruit he handed over.
"Why, don't you want it?"
Looking at the kind uncle in front of him, he turned his head to look at the counter and found a middle-aged man nodded, happily accepted the preserved fruit in Kyle's hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Kyle touched the child's head, then returned to the queue and reported the situation to Weilin.
"Let's go to the Rhine Building House first."
Then, the group led the horses and headed towards the center of the city.
The surrounding residents were a little curious about the strangers from outside, but they were just curious.
After crossing two streets, Weilin looked at the small shop of Rhine House of Architecture, asked Kyle and the others to wait outside, and went into the shop alone.
"Welcome to Rhine House of Architecture, what do you need?" The idle businessman looked at the wooden door of the shop being pushed open, and immediately changed his face and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Buy a house, buy land."
"So you are a distinguished guest, please sit here, I will bring you the product catalogue immediately."
The businessman warmly invited Weilin to sit down, and then went to the back of the store, took out three two-finger-thick books, placed them in front of Weilin, and then went to make tea and brought them to the small wooden table.
Weilin picked up one of the books and began to read it. It recorded the houses for sale in Maple Leaf County, the geographical location and price information.
"Shop No. 134, Avenue No. 2, West District, Maple Leaf County, covers an area of 120 square meters, the price is 85 gold coins, and a set of furniture is included."
"Residence No. 2352, Avenue No. 3, East District, Maple Leaf County, covers an area of 180 square meters, the price is 65 gold coins, and a one-wheeled wooden cart is included."
In the store, there was no other noise except the sound of books being flipped.
After roughly reading the first book, Weilin began to flip through the second book, which recorded the land sales information outside the city.
"Black Stone Village, 15 kilometers away from the county seat of Maple Leaf County, currently has a house covering an area of 300 square meters and 30 acres of land for sale, asking price 320 gold coins."
The last book is about the sale of houses and land in the county town under Maple Leaf County, but it is not as detailed as the first two books, only the approximate location and price information.
"If I buy the land of a village in bulk, how many houses and land can I own at most." Weilin put the last book on the small wooden table and asked the merchant.
"Sir, according to the decree issued by the Duke, the houses and land owned by an individual or family cannot exceed one-fifth of a settlement, otherwise they will be punished by the local governor and their excess property will be confiscated." The merchant replied respectfully.
Weilin did not speak, but asked the merchant for paper and pen and wrote down a few messages.
"I want these three houses in the city today, can you solve it?"
The merchant took the paper and roughly estimated the price in his mind, and how much he could earn from it, and his attitude became more respectful.
"Yes, sir, as long as the gold coins are in place, you can own these three houses immediately."
"Well, then let's take three sets first, and I am also interested in buying land outside the city later." Weilin looked at the table and said to the merchant.
"Don't worry, sir. We need to go outside the city to survey the land and house information. I can lead the way for you." The merchant was extremely excited when a big business came to him. He almost knelt on the ground to talk to Weilin.
"That's it for now. I'll notify you when we go outside the city." Weilin waved his hand, signaling the merchant to get down to business.
Then, Weilin asked Kyle to follow the merchant to the city lord's mansion to handle the transfer declaration and put the three houses under his name. As for him, it was not convenient for him to show up now. Otherwise, how to explain that a noble traveled thousands of miles to a remote city to buy houses and land, wouldn't it tell others that there was something wrong here?
That night, Weilin moved into one of the three houses, covering an area of 320 square meters and priced at 165 gold coins. It was far from the city center and had six houses, a main hall, a stable, a kitchen, a toilet, two warehouses and a basement, which were all the buildings in the house.
In the next few days, Weilin stayed in this house and dispersed the other six bronze knights to go to taverns, shops, shopping malls, streets and other places where people gathered to collect intelligence.
He wanted to fully and carefully understand the information of the entire Maple Leaf City so that he could think about how to plan the next step and maximize the benefits after the space channel appeared.
At the same time, on the territory of a duke, how to plan related industries so as not to be too dazzling and attract the attention of the other party.
