After looking at today's sales data twice, Lear was in a good mood.

With more than 3 gold coins in hand, you will have a chance to get the secret method of night elf advancement that will appear in the high-end transaction on No. .

The arms trade is indeed lucrative.

If all these 3000 sets of 2-star armor are sold, he can directly get 60 gold coins.

It's quite exaggerated.

But think about it, he is selling equipment that can arm 3000 people, so there is nothing unreasonable about it.

Only the top nobles can afford to train an army on a large scale.

A city like Loran is a big player among them. In comparison, the City of Weilu has not even made it to the table yet.

But after he took power, he had already grasped the future in his hands. With the intelligence system at his disposal, sooner or later he would sit on the throne.

He looked at Brando and spoke slowly.

"I got the news that there is a manor for sale on the second alley of Fifth Street."

Brando's expression changed immediately, and he said quickly.

"Sir, are you talking about the Marquis's manor? You probably don't know the situation. It has had seven owners!"

"Since the old marquis died of illness, every owner who bought the manor died for no reason."

“Several sects sent people to investigate, but none of them could solve the problem.”

"This manor is very famous. It has always been said that it is cursed by the goddess of misfortune and the evil god of the abyss."

"If you want to buy a manor, I suggest you change one..."

Superstition in the fantasy world is often related to gods, which makes people more frightened.

After all, gods do exist, and the countless vicious evil gods in the abyss are the source of death and danger.

The church doesn't dare to touch this thing easily.

"The manor of the Marquis family? Interesting. Not necessarily. I know the reason why the manor caused the misfortune."

"Ah? You know?"

"Yes, that manor, how much is it worth now?"

"The initial offer was 100,000 gold coins, and now it's... 20,000. If we bargain, we can get it down to less than 10,000 gold coins."

This price is still an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

But for Lear, who now has more than 100,000 gold coins in his hand, it is easy.

"If it can solve the bad luck, is this price appropriate?"

"Anything under 50,000 gold coins is a huge profit!"

"That Marquis's manor is one of the most famous on Fifth Street. The previous two sales were both for 110,000 or 20,000 gold coins!"

Lear's eyes moved slightly.

"Okay, let's go take a look and buy it if it's suitable."

The City of Wei Lu needs a spacious enough place to stay.

The White Crow Chamber of Commerce is too small to accommodate his ambitions.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Lear had made up his mind, Brando said nothing and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

The moment the plaque sent by Rose Manor was hung above the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, he regarded Lear as a god!

Half an hour later, he returned to report.

"Sir, everything has been arranged and we can leave immediately. Someone from the Blue Dove Chamber of Commerce will take us to check out the manor."

Lear nodded and stood up in a good mood.

If he were alone, he would have to queue up to buy breakfast... After building up his power, he would no longer have to do such trivial things.

Once he gave his orders, his subordinates would carry out his work.

Get on the carriage and drive slowly.

The Swamp Giant Deer King stayed in the White Crow Chamber of Commerce and rode a level 15 mount to buy a manor, which was a bit eye-catching.

After arriving at the fifth block, I could clearly feel the difference in the surroundings.

Not only are the streets wider, but the roads are also cleaner.

Moreover, the beggars that were commonly seen in other neighborhoods have also disappeared without a trace.

The roads are lined with green trees and blooming flowers, making it feel like a holiday area.

The number of patrolling guards has also increased significantly, which makes people feel safe.

The people who live on this street are either rich or noble. Even the smallest manor is priced so high that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The carriage drove into the middle area and stopped in front of a very quiet manor.

Looking out, the four-meter-high wall separates everything around it, with lush green trees peeking out from inside, swaying gently in the breeze.

The wide door opened to both sides, and two neatly dressed young men with smiling faces were waiting in front of the door.

Everyone has an icon of a blue dove with its wings spread on their chest.

The carriage drove to the gate, and Lear and Brando got off, and the two men immediately came to greet them.

"This respected sir, greetings to you, President Brando, good day. We are members of the Blue Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, Jamie and Sam, and we are mainly responsible for the sale and consignment of houses in the Fifth Block."

"We will serve you two adults today."

The two could tell at a glance that Lear's status was far higher than Brando's, so they greeted him first.

Lear nodded.

"Go in and have a look."

"Yes, this way please."

The two men immediately made way for him, feeling the young man's majesty and dignity. When his eyes swept over them, the captivating light made their hearts tremble.

The moment Lear walked through the open gate and stepped into the manor, he immediately felt a chill on his skin.

It's like the cold morning breeze of late autumn blowing on your skin, giving you goose bumps.

The two staff members of the Blue Dove Chamber of Commerce looked slightly pale.

"Sir, since you have come to see this manor, you must have learned about its relevant information."

"We won't hide anything from you."

"The previous owners of this manor all died inexplicably, and the cause has never been found."

"So the price of the manor has dropped to one-fifth of what it was before. If you are interested, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it at this price."

"We'll take you on a tour and introduce you to it first."

As he spoke, he motioned for Lear to come forward. There was a smaller open carriage parked not far away.

"The manor is large, and it will take quite some time to tour it. It will be faster for us to take a carriage."

Lear nodded and got into the carriage.

The staff member drove the car himself and kept introducing the Marquis's manor on the way.

It covers an area of ​​more than 600 acres and is equipped with a front garden, a back garden, a stable, a fountain and a fish pond.

And it has 4 building complexes, with 10 3-storey houses in the middle, where the owner lives.

↑To the north is the guards’ residential area, which has 30 buildings and supporting weapons repair workshops, sanatoriums, and medical rooms, and can accommodate 5 squadrons of guards.

→To the east is the slaves’ living area, which has 20 houses and can accommodate 300 people.

↓To the south is the guest room area, which has 12 buildings and can accommodate hundreds of guests.

After the overall introduction, Lear was quite satisfied.

The overall layout of the manor is very reasonable, and the environment is quiet. In addition, no one has been here for a long time, resulting in lush vegetation.

It made him feel very comfortable.

The only difference was that there was a vague chill that made everyone sitting in the carriage feel a little uneasy and nervous.

It was like being stared at by some terrifying monster in the shadows.

It may open its bloody mouth and jump out at any time.

Lear glanced at the location of the central building complex and said nothing more.

After circling the manor, the two young men driving the coach breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly drove towards the gate.

Lear waved his hand.

“Go to the building in the middle.”

The two of them froze and tried to force a smile but the fear in their hearts made their expressions become a little distorted.

"Sir, we are not showing you the building in the middle."

"This is the rule of the Blue Pigeon Chamber of Commerce."

The Blue Dove Chamber of Commerce is also a large chamber of commerce with strong backstage support.

I'm not afraid of outsiders causing trouble.

Lear nodded.

"It's okay, just wait for me at the door."

"Brenda, come in with me and take a look."

Brando was a little nervous, but he got out of the car without any hesitation.

With adults here, even if it really is the goddess of misfortune that has descended, so what!!

With a determined look in his eyes, he stepped into the gate.

Seeing them like this, the two people behind them stamped their feet and wanted to move forward, but they just couldn't muster up the courage.

Everyone who had entered the central building complex of the manor before had encountered strange situations.

They don't want to follow in the footsteps of their companions.

In the middle is the hall. When you go in, you can clearly feel that the air has become a little colder. Turning around and looking around, although no one has lived here for a long time, it seems like someone cleans it every day.

Spotless.

The decoration is classical and elegant, with very good taste. If you buy it, you can use it directly after making some minor changes.

"Which building is the master bedroom in?"

"It's in the building behind the hall. This way." Although Brando didn't see anything unusual around him, the weird feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Lear nodded, walked across the hall and out the back door.

There is another small garden full of green plants, and behind it is a three-story classical house with a square spire, stained glass bay windows, white stone pillars, and floral reliefs.

He liked it immediately.

But Brando's legs were weak at this moment. He was trembling with fear, as if he was tied to a mountain.

Every step forward seemed to cost him half his life.

Li Er glanced at this guy and his mind moved slightly.

A majestic aura surged out and covered the other party.

In an instant, the coldness that penetrated into the soul was isolated.

Shivering, Brando came back to his senses.

"My Lord, I felt like my soul was frozen just now."

Lear waved his hand.

"Follow me."

As he said this, he strode forward and pushed open the door of the house in front of him.

At this moment, Lear's vision suddenly went dark. He turned his head and saw that the light around him was completely swallowed up, and it became a completely dark place.

"Is it you who wants to take away my manor?!"

"Damn bastard, I'm still here, the master of the Ives family is still here!"

"Who dares to take away my manor?!"

The darkness ahead surged, forming a cloud of mist, blurring out black and white, and condensing into a head in armor—

One can barely make out the face of a middle-aged man, distorted and crazy.

Dark Wraith, Level: Level 15, Hero Talent: The body is scattered all over the manor and absorbed by the flowers and plants. As long as the manor exists, it can be resurrected after death
Li Er looked at the other party's attributes and raised his eyebrows slightly.

No wonder the sect members were unable to resolve the issue of this vengeful spirit.

This hero's talent is something.

The ghost was enraged when he saw that Lear did not react.

"You are disrespecting the owner of the manor! The great Marquis?!"

The dark head swooped down, opened its huge mouth and swallowed him directly.

But at this moment, whoosh~ Lear's cloak behind him moved without wind.

An even darker force surged out and instantly covered the head.

The Blue Dove Chamber of Commerce staff who were waiting outside only saw a black fog rolling in from all directions.

When I looked up, I saw that it was pitch black all around me and I couldn't even see my fingers when I stretched out my hand.

The fear in my heart instantly reached its peak.

I'm coming! !

They knew something was going to happen in this manor!!
I wanted to escape, but I couldn't find the direction. I could only lean on the carriage subconsciously, trembling with my companions.
Lear's perception was fully activated at this moment, sensing the fierce battle between the shadow of the fog and the dark ghost.

But because both sides have no physical form, the battle becomes strange and unpredictable.

Sometimes it was a pure clash of energies, sometimes it turned into mist and eroded each other, and sometimes it condensed into various forms and bombarded each other. It was impossible to tell what the next move would be.

If an ordinary person came here, he would be tortured to death in an instant.
The battle is extremely fierce, with dozens of collisions occurring in just a few breaths, and the consumption of energy is also exaggerated.

But within three or two minutes, one could clearly feel the aura emitted by the resentful spirit decreasing.

However, the Shadow of the Mist, which possessed a huge amount of energy reserves, became even more ferocious at this moment.

As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, the Shadow of Mist began to gain the upper hand.

Realized that the situation was not right.

The vengeful spirit suddenly broke through the shadow of the fog and turned into a condensed black fog ball that rushed towards Lear.

You can feel his overwhelming resentment and hatred.

"No one can take my estate away. No one!!"

Huh~ Rushed directly to Li Er and wrapped him up.

The black mist quickly gathered towards his head.

But in an instant, whoosh~ the black fog escaped at an even faster speed.

"No, no, how is it possible?"

His tone was filled with unspeakable fear.

One can clearly sense that the resentful spirit's aura has become extremely weak.

The Shadow in the Mist noticed this and suddenly pushed aside the mist, directly covering the other party.

Then it started spinning wildly, ready to destroy the opponent directly.

The dark ghost was struggling in fear to break through, and a large bulge could be seen from time to time in the fog.

But the shadow of the fog is like taffy, no matter how hard it hits, it will not be torn.

With abundant energy reserves, the situation soon stabilized and the ghost's struggling momentum became weaker and weaker until it was completely calm.

Creak, creak, creak~
There was a sound of chewing, and the breath of Misty Shadow suddenly soared.

Then the fog surged and the surroundings became bright again.

Lear turned his head and found that he was in a unique area.

There was fog all around him, as if he was walking on clouds.

At the same time, perception was greatly suppressed, and it was even impossible to penetrate the fog.

The next moment, the fog in front surged and condensed into a blurry figure in front of him whose face was 70% similar to his.

"Owner."

"Misty Shadow? Where is this?"

"This is inside my body. After I devoured that vengeful soul, I gained a special skill."

Li immediately became interested and opened its panel. The level from 15 had been upgraded to the critical level 16.

Became the second level 16 high-level creature in the City of Wisdom.

Moreover, as his personal bodyguard, the improvement of Mist Shadow's strength is closely related to his safety.

At this time, a special skill appeared on the opponent's panel——

The Mist Prison is special. It can build a mist cage inside the body and pull the enemy into the mist prison and imprison them.

In the prison, the prisoner's attacks will be purified into energy and can be directly absorbed.

Lear was quite surprised.

Wow, this skill is quite powerful.

Originally, the Shadow of the Mist relied on absorbing energy to advance. As long as it could imprison the enemy inside, the chances of the enemy escaping would be slim.

All your attacks were swallowed up, what else can you use to escape? !

This resentful soul is quite good. It can still provide considerable value after death. I will treat your manor well.

"How many people can the Mist Prison hold?"

"The weaker the strength, the more people can be detained. For ordinary people, thousands can be detained."

"If it is stronger than me, it will be easy to break free. It is best if it is a life form that is not higher than my level."

"Will imprisoning the enemy affect your activities?"

"It doesn't matter. This is the cage I built inside my body."

"Okay! Let's disperse the cage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog around him quickly dissipated like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

The light returned to the eyes, and a classically decorated room appeared before my eyes.

Li Erzhi, who was in a good mood, took a look and turned away.

Purchasing the manor is just a side benefit. Now that you have obtained the resentful soul, you have already made a huge profit.

Brando, who had not yet entered the house, had just come back to his senses from the black fog and saw Lear coming out, and said in a trembling voice.

"Sir, just now"

Lear waved his hand.

"The problem is solved. Go and negotiate with them about the price of purchasing the manor."

Brando was stunned. Solved?

He just felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then it became bright again. Is this problem solved?
The sect has come so many times but nothing can be done. You are worthy of being my trusted supporter, awesome! !
He did not hesitate and excitedly followed Lear through the back door and across the hall.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw two young men, sweating profusely, leaning on the carriage with trembling legs.

"My Lord, you finally came out."

Both of them had crying voices and their eyes were red.

This job is damn dangerous and hard.

I will never come to this crappy place again! !

"We have to leave quickly, the curse here has struck again"

"No need to go so fast, you guys calculate what the lowest price for this manor is, I'll buy it."

"You want to buy?"

The two of them felt a tremor in their hearts and were greatly shocked.

After experiencing such a weird thing, would you still buy it?

How big is this adult's heart?!
Lear nodded.

"That's right. You can discuss the specific price with Brando."

Having said that, he did not linger any longer and happily asked them to take him out of the manor first.

He also has to go to Second Avenue today. The high-end trade fair is held there. He must obtain the secret method of the night elves' advancement.

Get some information first so that you can prepare. (End of this chapter)
