Uncle Gergier stayed to continue discussing the divorce, while sisters Kingsley and Iwinnie accompanied Karl to see the house.

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

The walls are specially reinforced, the doors are mostly in the shape of round arches, and the design of flying beams makes the house more light and delicate.

The accommodation upstairs and the reception downstairs are divided into seven rooms. Each room is very spacious, even the bedroom.

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 a cloakroom upstairs that can be converted into a small chapel or laboratory.

There is also a bathroom, which is divided into two parts: the outer part for washing and the inner part for using the toilet. It is separated by a folding door in the middle.

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

in addition,

Wooden houses also have disadvantages.

Due to the age of the building and gnawing by insects and ants, many wooden piles have rotted. If you want to live in it officially, you need to spend some time repairing it. This cost is not small, and it also seriously affects the price of its sale.

"There is also a storage room underground. Due to design issues, the ventilation is not good. Remember to ventilate it before entering."

Kingsley took Karl around:

"How about it?"

"very good."

Karl nodded:

"I'm very satisfied."

Compared to the house, he was more satisfied with the 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, what he wanted to do most was to bask in the sun.

Moreover, a separate courtyard is also convenient for transporting goods.

As for other flaws, they didn't matter to him. As a wizard's apprentice, he had plenty of ways to deal with them.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Kingsley smiled:

"Then let's sign the contract. It's forty gold coins. I didn't expect you to have such a large inheritance."

heritage!

Carl's explanation for his wealth was that his grandfather left a legacy specifically at Mountbatten Bank.

As for whether others believe it or not...

Believe it or not.

"After buying a house, I am penniless." Karl pretended to sigh:

"Pay ten gold coins first and pay the remaining amount within one month."

"No problem." Kingsley waved:

"You are my cousin, I still have this bit of trust."

She looked happy, after all, forty gold coins was far more than the house was worth.

As for the sadness of divorce...

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

"Ewinnie."

After signing the contract, just as the two women were about to board the carriage and leave, Karl remembered something and extended an invitation to Ewinnie:

"Do you have time tonight? A friend of mine will perform on stage at the Wim Opera House today. Do you want to go with me?"

"ah!"

Ewinnie looked ecstatic at first, then looked at Kingsley, thought for a while, then shook her head slightly with regret:

"I want to accompany my sister."

My sister is divorced and has a lot of things to deal with at home. Even if she doesn't need her help, she can't play by herself.

"Yes." Karl expressed understanding:

"Then let's get together again when we have time."

"Pancakes! Pancakes for a penny!"

"Fish and chips, sugar-coated fruit, sold cheaply..."

"..."

At the entrance of the Wim Opera House, stalls crowded the road, and the sounds of hawking came one after another.

The people maintaining order in the theater had to yell and push before they could barely clear a passage.

After getting off the carriage, Karl followed the flow of people and headed towards the ticket entrance, when he was suddenly pulled by his sleeve.

"Karl!"

"Yeah." Karl turned around with a surprised look on his face:

"Sir Dinah, what...are you dressed like?"

As the eldest daughter of Viscount Sassoon, Dinah is not short of money, and her clothes are naturally exquisite and gorgeous.

Today is different.

The tunic made of linen is dull and patched, the cloth boots under his feet are stained with dirt, and the turban is even more rudimentary.

Her beautiful 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 couldn’t recognize him for a while, but this outfit was obviously intentional.

Suddenly he said:

"Are you doing research?"

In recent days, Dinah has rarely appeared in the inspection hall. It is said that she is fully investigating the mummy case.

Unfortunately it's not very supported.

The people in the inspection office all come from wealthy families and have no shortage of food and drink. How many of them are willing to risk their lives?

"Um."

Dinah's face was expressionless:

"You should have a concert ticket with you. I'll sell it to you at double the price. I need to go in for something."

"Sir." Karl shook his head:

"The concert requires clean clothes. With your current outfit, even if you have tickets, you may not be able to get in."

He took out two tickets and gestured:

"Let's go!"

Dinah raised her eyebrows, then hummed softly, raised her hand to wipe her face, took off her headscarf and let her long hair spread.

After her simple treatment, although his clothes were still shabby, his whole temperament had changed.

Especially the radiance of the delicate facial features completely obscured the others.

Taking a step forward, Dinah took Karl's arm, tilted her body to get closer to each other, and walked side by side, looking like a loving couple.

"You two, please come in."

The ticket inspector checked the tickets, his eyes paused slightly on Dina, and then he extended his hand to invite her.

It is not uncommon for rich 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 little stingy, and he didn't even buy her a decent dress when he came to the theater.

The strange sight did not move Dina. After entering the theater, she immediately let go of her hand and pulled the distance between the two, which made Carl, who was immersed in the soft experience, feel a little regretful.

"Thank you for this time, I will buy you a drink when I have the chance."

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

…………

The people in the Barrow Singing Group performed hard, and the singers' voices were clear and penetrating.

The music was as surging as the tide, and every note seemed to have life, jumping and spinning in the air, hitting 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 to increase the price." A man in a robe snorted coldly and said slowly:

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

"Three gold coins are really too expensive." The woman looked embarrassed:

"I have spent nearly fifty gold coins on you. Can it be cheaper this time?"

"I said..." The man's voice was indifferent:

"You don't have to buy it."

?

The woman's face changed, she struggled, and finally sighed helplessly:

"I'll buy it."

As she said that, she took out her exquisite purse, took out a gold coin and twenty gold pounds from it and handed it over.

"Is the goods correct?"

"When did you miss it?" The man borrowed the money, and finally smiled, and then handed over a porcelain bottle:

"It's the same as always, three drops at a time, once a week."

"Da!"

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

Dina's figure appeared:

"So, this is the so-called Purity Potion?"

"You..." The man's face changed, and then he rushed out as if his feet were equipped with springs.

"Want to escape?"

Dina snorted:

"Can you escape?"
