Chapter 57 Chatting and Buying a House

After exchanging a few words, the four of them took their seats.

Danny sat on the spacious single sofa chair, stretched out his right hand, and made a slight gesture, and a maid carrying a round plate came forward with brisk steps and stood respectfully beside him.

"What to drink"

Danny looked at the three of them with a smile and introduced: "I have basically all the tea on the market."

Arthur looked at Edward Bonnis and saw that they both looked confused, then turned back and said with a smile:

"We don't have much research on tea, just have something casual."

Danny nodded, then turned to the maid with a smile and ordered: "Bring four cups of Moses black tea."

After the maid left to prepare, Danny turned back and introduced the three of them to Arthur:

"Moses black tea is the signature product of Moses Town, the Kingdom of Langeying in the West Sea. It is very famous outside. One tael is worth one gold coin. You can try it later. The taste is very pure."

Not long after, four cups of black tea were placed on the white beech wood table in front of everyone.

The white glazed tea cup is dotted with exquisite golden patterns, and the dark brown tea soup is rippling in the cup, exuding a faint scent of roses, making people salivate.

Arthur picked up the black tea and took a gentle sniff. He felt a light and elegant rose fragrance accompanied by the hot air, reaching his nose. It smelled very good.

Then he took another small sip, and a strong sweetness filled the tip of his tongue, which was very refreshing.

"hot hot hot"

The exclamation came, and Arthur raised his head, but it was Edward and Bowness who had taken a big sip of hot tea carelessly. At this time, their faces were flushed, sticking out their tongues, and shouting loudly.

Danny and Arthur looked at each other and smiled, and then said to them helplessly: "The black tea you just brewed must be very hot, and so are you."

The two of them had no choice but to lower their heads, blushing and saying nothing.

Arthur observed Danny on the side and felt that both the way he treated people and his aura were completely different from when he was in prison before. He couldn't help but nodded secretly.

It seems that with the training of his father and the various resources of the Jinlan Chamber of Commerce, Danny's growth in the past six months has been tremendous.

However, after just a few days of getting along with each other in prison, Danny and himself didn't actually have a deep relationship with each other. Coupled with their respective growth in the past six months, Arthur could still feel a certain emotion in Danny at this time. Isolated.

After all, the class gap in this world is not so easy to bridge. Their outlook, knowledge, life, etc. are all very different.

At this time, Danny turned around again, smiled and asked Arthur: "What are you doing now?"

Arthur took another sip of black tea and replied with a smile:

"Pirates are raging and we can't stay outside any longer. We are about to go to the city to buy a yard and settle down. Why don't we come to you to ask for Bailey?"

"Pirates are really rampant outside now."

Danny frowned, remembering the pressure from the Chamber of Commerce in terms of security, and couldn't help but nodded, then held up the black tea and continued:

"Recently, many surrounding villages have been attacked by pirates, and many suffering villagers have flocked into the city, especially the villages to the east."

At this point, Danny was slightly startled, and then said: "I remember your village is to the east."

"Yeah." Arthur nodded.

"Our village encountered pirates, and many people died."

Arthur felt a little sad, and Edward and Bowness on the side also had their faces darkened, remembering the bloody memories not long ago.

Danny looked around the three of them, understood, sighed softly, and said comfortingly:

"The deceased have passed away. I hope they can rest in peace in heaven."

"Fortunately you are all okay."

Then he turned around and called a middle-aged man who looked like a butler to come over. After whispering a few words, he waited until the butler turned to leave, then turned back and continued to say to Arthur:

“Which yard are you going to buy?”

"Do you want to buy the Al Ain area? I can help you arrange it."

In Gojiazhi City, the control of houses within the walls is very strict. If you want to buy a yard in the Al Ain District, you must have the endorsement of a noble before you can buy it. As for the Sigh District, it must be a place where nobles can live.

Of course, as a country that focuses on commerce and trade, the Kingdom of Merigian's noble status can be "sold and sold". As long as you can pay a certain fee to the country every year, you can obtain the relevant titles.

For example, Danny's father is a viscount, and as the second son, Danny also has the noble status of a baron, so it is still possible to endorse Arthur's purchase of a house.

Upon hearing Danny's question, Edward's eyes lit up, he raised his head and looked at Arthur expectantly, while Ponister raised his head and looked at Arthur.

Although Bowness' expectations for Al Ain District are not as high as Edward's, he still hopes to live in such a clean and beautiful place.

However, Arthur shook his head and extinguished their expectations.

"No need to trouble you, we can just find a yard outside."

Arthur's considerations were more practical. His goal was to establish a temporarily low-key kendo gym. There were three reasons why he did not choose Al Ain District.

First, the housing prices in Al Ain District must be very expensive. After buying the yard, they still need to decorate and renovate, and purchase various gym materials. The Baileys of the three of them will definitely not be enough.

Secondly, Ain District is considered the territory of Beichen Ittou Ryu. When he is still weak, it is really unwise to go to a provocative kendo gym with a senior swordsman.

Third, regarding the issue of student sources, Arthur is still more willing to recruit the children of common people outside the wall than the children of the elite nobles inside the wall.

Children of common people come from clean families, can endure hardships, and have not received much education. It is easy to guide their three views to develop in the direction they want.

The children of those elite nobles all have their own tutors, and their personalities are mostly fixed and difficult to correct. Coupled with the complex backgrounds of their respective families, it would be too troublesome if they accidentally fall into the strife of the big shots.

"Okay then." Danny said with some regret.

Then he continued to ask: "Would you like me to ask the people below to help you find a yard?"

"You have just arrived and are not familiar with the place. It won't be easy to find a yard by yourself."

"Okay, I'll bother you then." Arthur smiled and nodded without shirk.

It would be too time-consuming to wait for someone to find an apartment by yourself, so it’s really nice to have someone to help you.

And at this moment, the middle-aged housekeeper who had just left happened to come to Danny again carrying a small black suitcase.

Danny noticed the butler behind him and didn't look back. He just waved his hand and saw the butler put the small black suitcase on the table and slowly opened it.

Following the butler's movements, a box full of colorful banknotes appeared in front of the three people's eyes.
