People are subject to change. Some people, in just a few months or even a few days, will become another completely opposite person. And in a year, the changes that have occurred are sometimes enough to make relatives find it difficult to recognize each other.
A year ago, Joshua was a life-saver, a poor boy who was dripping with pus all over his body due to a curse, and everyone could step on him. Joshua a year later is a handsome, majestic elite with extraordinary skills A professional, he is also the lord of the city of Sicily, and the youngest lord of Holevin. He controls the joys and sorrows of the people in the city.
This is the difference between cloud and mud, sky and earth. From one extreme to the other, there is no intermediate process, no hard struggle. Few people can maintain their original heart in such a drastic identity change.
Beta has seen many such people. At first, he thought that Joshua could struggle to survive and not give up his last hope in such an extremely harsh environment, so he felt that he should be a firm-willed person, so this Pushed him to the position of the city lord.
But now it seems that Beta feels that he seems to overestimate Joshua's character, after all, the other party is still just a young man.
Of course, this is not to say that Joshua is a disqualified city lord, but Beta feels that there is more desire and ambition in Joshua's eyes, while the other party's ability has not improved much.
However, Beta doesn't really want to care about such things. He saved Joshua mainly for the epic mission. Since he didn't pay much attention to the other party at the beginning, it is normal for the other party to have a separate life with him now. .
That's why Beta planned to only need a large warehouse.
After the three finished their dishes, the butler Connors came out not long after. He said, "Master, there is a black arm outside who wants to take you to see the warehouse. I heard it is the arrangement of the city lord."
Beta nodded to express his understanding. He asked the housekeeper to clean up the table, while he took Shirley and Amanda out.
A white carriage trimmed with gold trim was ready outside the door, and two snow-white horses without variegation, looked extraordinary at first sight. There was also a strong man in a short skirt standing beside the carriage. When he saw Beta and the others, he first showed a flattering smile, and then lowered his head.
On his right arm, there is a large hammer tattoo, which almost covers the entire right arm. Beta estimates that this is the origin of the meaning of 'black arm'.
The three of Beta got into the carriage, Black Arm trotted ahead to lead the way, and the driver followed slowly behind in the carriage.
While shaking slightly, Shirley leaned close to Beta's ear and whispered: "From top to bottom in this manor, all the people were recruited by that Joshua. In other words, they are all his people. Do we want to change them?" last order?"
Beta shook his head: "No, we didn't stay here for a long time. Besides, we changed people and told Joshua clearly that we don't trust him. There is no real conflict or conflict between us now. If so If you don’t do it, it will only deepen the rift between the two parties.”
After listening to Beta's words, Shirley felt the same, so she stopped mentioning this matter.
The carriage entered the urban area, and after a few turns, it came to a relatively less crowded neighborhood. Black Arm walked to the car window and said in a humble voice: "Your Excellency, we have arrived."
The three of Beta got out of the carriage, looked around for a while, and soon found the big house in front of them.
A silver coin bounced in front of Hei Bi, who subconsciously caught him.
"Take us in and have a look."
A silver coin is already a lot of money for Hei Bi, he was overjoyed, and led the three of Beta to the big house. The door looked very old, the black arm pushed it open hard, the wooden door made a creaking sound, and dust fell from it faintly.
Shirley instantly sent a light wind to blow the dust away.
The door was wide open. This big house was not as big as the mansion that Beta stayed in just now, but it was better than empty, with nothing inside. It is indeed a rare thing to have such a big house as a warehouse near the center of the street.
"How is the rent calculated?" Beta asked.
"Thirty silver coins a month."
With his head hanging down, he didn't dare to raise his head, because he found that the two female companions of the nobleman were beautiful, and he was afraid that if he lost his composure, he would cause the other party's dissatisfaction, and then lose this business.
Beta continued to ask: "If I want to buy this house, how much will it cost?"
Heiji looked up at Beta in surprise, then quickly lowered his gaze, and said, "If you want to buy it, you need twenty... twenty gold coins."
Twenty gold coins is an unimaginably huge amount of money for Heiji, but considering the land price of Sicily, the commercial capital, and its location close to the city center, plus the floor area of this house, this The price is actually very conscientious.
"Okay, I bought this house." Beta took out twenty gold coins from the space and put them on the palm of his hand: "So, where is your title deed?"
Black Arm looked at the dazzling gold coins, and he swallowed: "I, I don't have a title deed."
When Beta heard this, she frowned a little. Amanda, who had been watching the whole show by the side, finally couldn't help it anymore. She smiled and said, "Hey, man, without a title deed, why do you say this house is yours?"
"There is no title deed." Black Arm scratched his head, glanced at Amanda, then quickly lowered his gaze, and said, "This is the house passed down from my grandfather. We have always lived here and only recently moved out."
Beta shook his head: "Without the title deed, we dare not buy this house, nor rent it. If something happens, it will be difficult to explain clearly."
Hei Ji was anxious: "This is really my house, there is really no title deed."
Beta sighed, ready to leave. At this time, one of the young people who had been staying not far away came out, and he shouted at Beta: "This noble lord, the black arm does not have a title deed, because the title deed belongs to our boss, if you want To buy this house, I can go to the boss and get the title deed."
"Get out, get out of here." When Hei Bi saw the young man, he suddenly became angry: "This house belongs to our family. If Michael Luo dares to come over, I will fight him directly."
"Oh, you're so arrogant to speak..." The young man began to mock Hei Bi.
Seeing this, Beta knew that the warehouse could not be bought... He turned and walked towards the carriage, intending to look elsewhere. If it doesn’t work, let Shirley use magic to build a warehouse in the open space in the suburbs. Although maintaining the magic effect for a long time will make Shirley’s body a bit burdened, it’s better than buying a warehouse without a title deed .
Just when Beta was about to leave, a group of menacing strong men ran over from the corner of the street, and they quickly surrounded Beta and the others, as well as Black Arm.
