Chapter 641 Villa
David nodded to Butler Jason on the side. This was also the teaching of Euphemia, the etiquette teacher, when the nobles were away, try not to pay by themselves.
Although he didn't care about this, it was considered as following the local customs.
Butler Jason didn't understand what David was using to buy such expensive alchemy raw materials, but he did not object, but came forward to talk to Instructor Edna.
David didn't care about the conversation between Butler Jason and Guide Edna. He sat aside and drank the drink leisurely. After Butler Jason finished the work, he stepped forward and put all the alchemy materials into the space ring.
They left the Temple of Wealth amid the enthusiastic farewell from the Edna Guide. When the Edna Guide thought that once the wealthy Baron who was addicted to the "alchemy" would bring her huge benefits.
After David was led by Edna Guide last time, David defaulted to being the customer of Edna Guide. David had commissions for all the consumption under the guidance of Edna Guide.
Think about a baron with millions of god-generated gold coins. After he became addicted to the "alchemy" hobby of burning god-generated gold coins, he would buy how much "alchemy" materials would he buy from the Edna guide.
‘Alchemy’ has never been an easy thing. Starting from the trial alchemist, if there is no support from a large number of divine gold coins and no alchemist leads the way, the continuous failure alone will make the rich go bankrupt.
Unlike the addiction that Edna guide imagined, David is more like a child who has obtained a new toy. He is sitting in a carriage, his spirit keeps sweeping over the 'alchemical raw materials' in the space ring.
If it weren't for the wrong environment, he would have the urge to take action immediately.
The carriage continued to drive, and then stopped on a wide street.
The ground of this street is paved with pure white rocks, and each of the trees on the roadside is a thick tree that two people embrace. These trees have a history of at least a hundred years.
These trees alone show the extraordinaryness of this street. This is also the residential area of the nobles in Jianmo City, and even the lord's mansion is at the end of the same street.
"Master, 16 Orr Street is here!" said Butler Jason opened the car door for David.
David walked out of the carriage and saw the residence in front of him that was about to belong to him.
When he heard Deputy General Garrett say that he was compensated for a yard, there was a small building in his mind, and there was a flat land in front of the building.
But the residence in front of us should not be called a yard, but a villa.
There is a statue fountain in front of the villa. The statue is two women playing in the water. David doesn't know much about the world of God and does not know who these two women are. However, the level of this statue is extremely high. The two still women actually feel agile under the surging of the fountain.
Not to mention the interior of this villa, the value of this fountain is probably more expensive than the yard David imagined.
While David was watching the fountain, Butler Jason had already gone over to communicate with one of the butlers who were greeting him.
"Great Baron Arthur, I am the Albin Butler of 16 Orr Street. I am honored to serve you!" Albin Butler gave a big gift to David and introduced himself.
Butler Albin was actually very nervous. The villa he managed has always been the property of the noble affairs office. His previous work was very easy. Only when someone from the noble affairs office came to Jianmo City would he need to entertain him.
But he did not belong to the noble affairs office, he was only responsible for managing the villa.
After sending this villa to David, butler Albin also handed it to David with the villa.
If David did not need Albin butler, he would be unemployed, and it would not be easy to find a suitable butler position.
"Butler Albin, take me to see here!" David said with a smile and nodded.
"Please!" Butler Albin felt a little calmer. As long as he didn't drive him away immediately, he would have hope.
When entering the villa, David was still surprised. The ground was polished like a mirror, revealing the strange patterns of special floor stone. On the top of his head was a chandelier made of crystals, extending from the top of more than ten meters.
The walls are covered with exquisite carvings, and every item in the hall has a historical heaviness. From tables to candlesticks, everything is crafted.
Under the leadership of Butler Albin, David visited the dining room, living room, study, music room, and leisure room on the first floor. On the second floor are ten sets of luxuriously decorated rooms, and on the third floor are the master's bedroom, lounge and cloakroom.
It can be said that this villa is comparable to a smaller castle, and its luxury is far more than that of Luce Castle.
You should know that when David took over Luce Castle, the Luce family had long been unable to make ends meet, and Luce Castle also urgently needed overhaul.
"Butler Jason, butler Albin will be left to you to manage. His responsibilities remain unchanged, so he will still handle the affairs here!" David finished reading the villa and arranged for Butler Jason with satisfaction.
"Yes, Master!" Butler Jason was also happy that the family could have such an extra villa.
David's impression of Vice President Garrett has improved a lot. Although it is not difficult to buy such a villa with the divine gold coins in his hand, it is not easy to find a suitable villa in a short period of time.
The social structure of the Great World of God and the Interstellar Federation is different. The nobles here are relatively stable. Although new nobles continue to appear and the old nobles decline, the new nobles are just branches of the noble families and are not promoted from the rest of the classes.
Therefore, it is difficult to buy the property in the hands of aristocrats, unless they happen to encounter the decline of the nobles and need to sell their property. This kind of thing is not common.
The Noble Affairs Office itself is an institution that manages aristocratic affairs. After some aristocrats go bankrupt, for various reasons, the property will be handed over to the Noble Affairs Office for handling.
This kind of property management office does not have ownership rights, but has the right to use and transaction rights.
This is also the origin of this villa obtained by David. Villas like this are usually not sold on the voluntary basis. High-quality industries are generally value-added and are also an important resource, which is very useful at the right time.
Just like this incident, Vice President Garrett compensated David for the villa, on the one hand because David had a very good attitude towards him and was too proud of his face. He needed to give the same reward.
On the other hand, it is also the most important thing. Once the villa is sent out, the required fees will be paid by his superior Vice President Korad. As for how Vice President Koram recovers this fee from Dreden or from other relevant personnel, it is not something that Vice President Garrett can do.
"I see there is still an empty space in the basement. I want to build an alchemy room there. What do you think?" David thought about the structure of the entire villa, and then asked the two housekeepers.
He originally planned to build an alchemy room in Luce Castle, but it would take some time to come to Jianmo City from Luce Castle, which is not convenient for purchasing the 'alchemy raw materials'.
With this villa, David can completely build the "Alchemy Room" in the inner city, and everything is very convenient to do here.
"Master, when the Luce family was prosperous, they once trained alchemists. The construction of the alchemy room was also recorded, but that was recorded from more than 300 years ago!" Butler Jason said helplessly.
As a steward, he could not help his master, and he felt his dereliction of duty.
"Master, if you want an alchemy room, you don't have to build it anymore!" Butler Albin hesitated for a moment and said.
"Button Albin, what do you know, just say it?" David couldn't help asking after hearing Button Albin's words.
"In fact, the original owner of this villa is an intern alchemist. After inheriting the lord and a considerable amount of wealth, he became addicted to alchemy. Since he did not find an alchemist to take it in, he built an alchemist room in the villa and practiced it on his own every day. In the end, not only did he lose all his wealth, but he was unable to become an alchemist!" Butler Albin continued.
His words were actually instructive, but he didn't know that David's "alchemy" level had reached the master level and would not have become like the former owner of this villa.
"So there is an alchemy room in this villa?" David said in surprise when he heard another meaning in the butler Albin's words.
Whether it was the divine gold coins or the time it took to build an alchemy room, it was very long. He was considering that while building an alchemy room, he temporarily found a place to practice "alchemy".
I didn't expect that there was an alchemy room in this villa, so he could use it directly.
"Yes, but that secret room requires spiritual talent to be opened!" Butler Albin sighed in his heart and replied in his mouth when he saw that David did not hear his advice.
"Take me to see!" David waved his hand.
Butler Albin took David to the study on the first floor, and he led David to stop in front of an art statue.
"This is the entrance to the secret room. You can only try to open it yourself. I only know the location!" Butler Albin pointed to the art statue and said.
David nodded, and Shadow Master flew into the wall behind the art statue under his control. Some isolated patterns were drawn on the wall, completely covering the breath inside the wall.
Behind the wall is a small room, with cabinets all over the walls of the room, and the cabinets are filled with various crystal bottles and material boxes.
In the middle of the room is an alchemy platform, and next to it is a tool cabinet.
Although the configuration of this alchemy room is incomparable to the equipment in David's illusion, it is definitely an extremely luxurious one for an intern alchemist.
No wonder the trainee alchemist went bankrupt because of "alchemy". Without understanding his own strength, he invested so much, so how could he not go bankrupt?
Withdrawing the shadow servant, David observed the statue in front of him. There was a mental detection pattern hidden in the seemingly ordinary carving technique of the statue.
In theory, David was a "alchemy master". He just glanced at him and found this mental test pattern.
His spirit touched the nodes of the mental detection pattern, and the statue moved open, revealing the hidden door blocked by the statue that happened to be for one person to enter and exit.
A gloomy flashed across the butler Albin's face. He once saw with his own eyes that his former master went bankrupt because of his addiction to "alchemy". Now the new master seems to be also addicted to "alchemy". The consequences are probably not much different from those of the former master.
As a steward, the only thing he could do was pray that David's alchemy would waste less divine gold coins and make bankruptcy come later.
Sometimes it is not a good thing to have spiritual talent. In fact, unless the spiritual talent reaches a certain level, formal alchemists will not accept the trainee alchemist, because the probability of successful training alchemist with low spiritual talent is too low.
Too many young people who meet the standards are just young people who have infinite longing for "alchemy" because they have not accepted it for the official alchemist, and they devote themselves to "alchemy" at their own expense.
David walked into the alchemy room and stroked the patterns on the alchemy platform with his hands. These patterns made the alchemy platform stronger and more resistant to high temperature and corrosion. The most important thing was the protective cover on the alchemy platform, which could prevent the toxic substances on the alchemy platform from affecting the alchemy master.
There are more than a dozen quill pens of various specifications placed in the tool cabinet next to it, three sets of engraving knives of different materials, as well as some other tools.
He came to the cabinet on the wall again. Most of the crystal bottles and material boxes here were empty, but these crystal bottles and material boxes alone were of great value.
You should know that these crystal bottles and material boxes are specially used for "alchemical materials". If the purchased "alchemical materials" are improperly stored, their effectiveness may be lost in large quantities.
These crystal bottles and material boxes are also "alchemy items". Because the materials purchased this time did not require long-term storage, David did not purchase them at the same time.
Of course, on the other hand, the divine gold coins in your hand are limited. Although there are many divine gold coins in one million, if you really use it, it may not be enough to arrange such an alchemy room.
David didn't know why the former owner here would rather go bankrupt than sell this alchemy room, but he knew clearly that he had taken a big advantage this time, and a complete alchemy room could be more expensive than this villa.
"Don't you know that there is this alchemy room in the Noble Affairs Office?" David turned to look at Butler Albin and asked.
"Yes, when I took over this villa at the Noble Affairs Office, I thought Lord Hammond would take back the villa one day!" Butler Albin said, nodding.
"Lord Hammond is the former master here, right?" David asked.
"Yes, five years after I took over this villa in the Noble Affairs Office, I heard the news of Lord Hammond's death!" Butler Albin's voice was deep.
David did not ask the butler Albin why he told him about the alchemy room. Perhaps the butler Albin wanted to become a formal butler of the Luce family and return to his status as a noble butler.
