A gust of cold wind blew past, Lorist shivered, and his head on top of his blood began to wake up. After recovering and thinking carefully, he couldn't help but smile wryly, and was fooled by the old fox Dean Levins again.
From merging the Yellow Ribbon College to applying for a loan for the development of the college, he was humiliated in the college fraternity. In order not to let them slander him, he did not hesitate to gamble with all the colleges in the college district, and then it became a matter of rectifying his own name. All of this seemed so reasonable, but in the end, the old fox had no responsibility at all, and easily stayed out of the matter and watched the excitement.
I was so inexplicably put on the stage by the dead old man, and then I will fight for my silver invincible honor, fight for the future development of the college, and fight for the expectations of all the teachers and students in the college. The dead old man put everything on the surface and dug a big hole for himself to jump into willingly. I can't even have the idea of releasing water, otherwise, if I miss, the accusations and complaints of everyone in the academy will drown me alive.
What the dead old man said was fair and aboveboard, if it was really a game between colleges, he would have nothing to say. The problem is that now the dead old man ordered Fatty Shi to post duel notices everywhere, just because he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Going back to find the dead old man, the dead old man will definitely say that a sheep is herded, and a flock of sheep is also herded. Flick back.
Looking back at the blue-gray tower, the white gauze curtain on the window of the dean's office above was swaying in the wind. Lorist shivered, and decided not to reason with the dead old man anymore, and stay away from the old fox in the future, and don't hang around in front of him no matter what, so as not to be missed by the old fox.
As for now, Lorist weighed the copper key in his hand, and decided to go and see what the teaching residence the academy gave him was like, and if he liked it, he would move here earlier.
In fact, the academy gave him a dormitory after Lorist received the Icador badge, but the dormitory was in the teaching building, which was the base camp of the academy's silver professors, and the people who lived up and down were all silver professors. Lorist himself also knew that he was not welcomed by the silver trainees, so he simply stopped looking at him and returned the dormitory to the academy. I ran to live with my girlfriend by myself, and I felt free to live outside.
Moon Lake is located in the south of Chenxi College. It is a small, approximately circular lake with clear and rippling water and graceful willows on the shore. It has always been a good place for students to relax and talk about love. To the north is the site of the former Yellow Ribbon College. Near Moon Lake is a small hillside. There used to be a mulberry forest on it. Now the mulberry trees have been felled scattered and replaced by dozens of unique and exquisite loft-style villas. It seems that this is the golden teaching residential area that Dean Levins mentioned.
The wall separating the two colleges had been demolished, and Lorist quickly reached the foot of the hill along the cobblestone path by the lake, but the hill was surrounded by a fence made of bamboo. Going along the grille, it didn't take long to go around to the front of the hillside. It was a row of double-storey wooden houses and a gate.
A hired worker in a servant's uniform took Lorist to the first room of the wooden house. It was a large office with five desks, and behind the innermost desk sat a man whose hair had started to grow. The white woman was writing something with her head down. The employee pointed to the woman, meaning that this was the director Scarlett that Lorist was looking for.
After receiving the copper key from Lorist, and looking at the thirty-fifth month engraved on it, Director Scarlet said with a friendly smile: "So you are the legendary black iron gold instructor Locke of our academy, I have known you for a long time. Hehe, I used to be in charge of several stores of the college in Morente City, and I didn’t come to the college very much, so I only heard about you but never met you.”
Lorist was relieved. After all, he had been in Dawn Academy for ten years, and he was considered a celebrity, big or small. There were not many management personnel of the academy that he had never met.
Supervisor Scarlett personally took Lorist to see the house. She was a very talkative woman: "Little Locke, your house is near the lake, so it may be a little quieter, and No. 34 next door is a bit far away from you. People who live there It's Marin teaching, you should know it."
Lorist nodded. Professor Marin is one of the retired military officers who came to the academy three years ago. His catchphrase is my horse is my second wife. He is married, has a beautiful and gentle wife and a very lovely daughter. When he came to the academy, he not only brought his family with him, but also brought an old horse. According to him, this mare named Jenny has saved him no less than three times on the battlefield, so he has to take her everywhere until she returns to the kingdom of the God of War.
This is a villa with wood and stone structure, it should be considered as two and a half floors, and the spire above it is a small attic. As Director Scarlett said, the place is indeed a bit quiet. This is the corner of the hillside near Moon Lake. Due to the terrain, there are no other buildings around. Standing in the yard, you can only see Villa No. 34 in the distance. half roof.
The yard is estimated to be about 40 square meters, which happens to occupy all the flat land, and a row of half-height holly trees forms a wall. Although it is close to Moon Lake, there is still a well in the yard. Lorist stretched his head to look. The well was surrounded by square bluestones, and the bottom of the well was covered with fine white gauze, which was used to filter the well water.
There are two wooden houses built near the mountain wall in the yard. Director Scarlett opened the gate of the villa with a key and said: "That is a stable, which can keep two horses. If there is a carriage, it can be parked in the yard or Put it in the shed beside the gate for safekeeping. If you don’t have a horse, it can also be used as a utility room. Well, the door is finally opened. The new key needs to be oiled to save effort, otherwise it will be too laborious. Come in and have a look. "
The first room you enter the door is a large living room with a fireplace and a sofa, and tapestries hanging on the walls. Although it is not expensive, it has a kind of homely warmth. Loris nodded. It seems that the furniture is all arranged, so you don't have to buy it yourself, which saves a lot of trouble. For someone like me who is afraid of trouble, this house seems to be tailor-made and fits him very well. Mind.
Supervisor Scarlett introduced one by one: "The back is the kitchen and the dining room, the two on the left are the servant's room, and the two on the right are the washroom and the warehouse. There is also a small space under the stairs for storing sundries. Let's go upstairs and see look."
Upstairs is a living room leading to the master bedroom and two guest bedrooms, a small study and a powder room. The master bedroom is large with its own bathroom and dressing room. The stairs leading up from the living room lead to a small attic.
Supervisor Scarlett said with a smile that in the future, when Professor Locke becomes a home and has children, the small attic can be converted into a children's room or a small bedroom. I believe the children will like it very much.
Lorist replied that he was single now, and it was too early to start a family and have children.
When Director Scarlet heard that she was interested, she began to ask what kind of girl Lorist liked and what she wanted. It seemed that she was planning to go back and bring dozens of girls over so that Lorist could choose a wife.
Lorist hurriedly thanked Director Scarlet for his kindness, and shirked that it was a critical moment for his cultivation, and he would be preparing for the challenge duel at the academy, so he couldn't be distracted. Only then did Director Scarlet dispel the idea of introducing a girlfriend to him.
In the living room downstairs, Supervisor Scarlett asked Lorist what he thought of the house, and if it was because of its remote location, it could be replaced with a similar one. Anyway, a total of 52 villas have been built in the gold teaching area, and there are only 38 gold teachers from the college who live there, and there are 14 other villas that are vacant and can be exchanged.
Lorist said that he was very satisfied with the house and did not need to change it. I'm going to bring my luggage over tomorrow.
Supervisor Scarlett pointed to a green rope hanging by the fireplace and said: "Professor Locke, this rope is the bell rope leading to the management office of our residential area. If you pull a few times, the bell over there will ring, and we will send someone over." Ask if there is anything you need to do. If you just moved in and don’t have a personal servant, you can hand over any chores to the hired help in the management office.”
Director Scarlett pulled the bell rope a few times while talking: "A helper will come over later, you have to clean the house first when you move in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I just checked and there is dust on the handrails of the stairs."
Lorist was very curious: "Director Scarlet, this place is a bit far from your management office, how did you bring the bell rope there?"
Director Scarlet smiled proudly: "It's actually very simple. There are bamboo tubes buried in the ground, and copper wires are covered in the bamboo tubes. The bell rope is just a pull ring to catch the copper wire. Pulling the bell rope a few times will affect the copper wire." , to drive the copper bell in the office. There is a number on the copper bell, so you can know where it is at a glance. This method is based on the summoning bells buried in the walls of those big companies. There are more things there, and the copper bells hanging on the walls are all There are hundreds."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and then a burly maid came in. Lorist looked at it and smiled: "Ke Li, it's you."
This maid was Lorist's nurse when he just traveled here to recuperate from his injuries. It had been several years since his chubby figure had become more and more sturdy. Originally, the original owner of the body that Lorist passed through, Little Locke, had a very unpleasant temperament, and put on airs of aristocrats every day. Although Ke Li was a nurse, she only did some nursing care for the sake of money. I'm usually lazy to talk.
Then Lorist traveled through time and became the new owner of this body. Although he was recuperating in bed as usual, in order to understand this new world, he paid Keri extra wages and asked her to read books and newspapers to him. It took a long time The two got acquainted with Keli and began to feel that this little nobleman was actually quite pitiful, being so far away from home at a young age. Thinking about how a woman's natural motherly love erupts and takes good care of Lorist, the relationship between the two is getting better and better. If Keli's family hadn't gone back later, Lorist would have wanted to hire her to take care of his daily life for a long time.
"Ah, it's Master Locke!" Keli happily greeted Lorist.
"What happened to your family at that time? After recovering from my injuries, I went to the management office of the academy to ask the employee in charge. He said that your family had something to do and you couldn't come back to the academy." Lorist asked.
"Well, my mother-in-law was sick that time, and I went back to take care of her for half a year, and then she died, and I farmed and worked at home. In this way, one, two, three, four, five, six years passed, and the children grew up , I can do things for the family, so I came to the academy to work as a helper again." Keli counted how many years she had stayed at home with her fingers, and Lorist wanted to laugh when she saw it. Still the same.
Lorist turned around and asked Supervisor Scarlet, could he hire Keli as his servant? Supervisor Scarlett said yes, but Kekeli was unwilling. She said that now Lorist is alone, and as his servant, he has nothing to do except cleaning, so she can't earn tips. She couldn't save money for her children to get married, so she quit.
Lorist smiled wryly and shook his head: "What a silly big sister..."
I chose the second suggestion made by Supervisor Scarlett, which is to hire Keli as a long-term servant, come every two days to clean up, half a day each time, five silver coins per month. So everyone is happy.
The silly elder sister Ke Li said that she would come to clean it in the morning, and Lorist decided to stay for a while, so she gave Ke Li the matching door key and asked her to open the door and come in to clean it by herself. After sending Director Scarlet and Keli away, Lorist looked at the new house again. From now on, this house will be his home.
After traveling to Galintia for ten years, he finally has his own home, a home of his own. This is the place where I settle down in this world, and it is also the harbor where I can find peace of mind. Lorist inspected his new territory step by step, feeling very happy. If it wasn't for the sudden thought that the old man Dean Levins was in a bad mood, Lorist would even have wanted to sing aloud.
There are still some things to decide. Standing by the window of the master bedroom on the second floor, staring at the peaceful Moon Lake in front of him, Lorist once again recalled the first time he saw her in Moon Lake. The heart is hurting, the relationship of more than three years has just come to an end, is the status of a nobleman really so important, it can make her forget the previous mountain alliance and vow to devote herself to the arms of others, and even the career of working hard together? They can all be sent out as capital for entry...
Since you want to divide it, you should divide it. Today, I should go and end all this. Lorist punched the wall angrily, making his final decision.
