468 Unexpected
People will change. Some people will become another completely opposite person in just a few months or even days. The changes produced in a year are sometimes enough to make relatives find it difficult to recognize each other.
Joshua a year ago was a poor boy who was in danger of being in danger because of the curse that he was covered with pus and everyone could step on it. Joshua a year later was a handsome, majestic and extraordinary elite professional. He was also the city lord of Sicily and the youngest city lord in Holevin. He controlled the joys and sorrows of the people in the city. He could determine life and death in one word, and could help others fly in one word.
This is the difference between clouds and mud, and the sky and the earth. From one extreme to another, there is no intermediate process or hard struggle. Few people can maintain their true hearts in this drastic change in identity.
Beta had 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. He felt that he should be a strong-willed person, so he 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 does not mean that Joshua is an unqualified city lord, but Beta feels that Joshua has more desires and ambitions in his eyes, and the other party's ability has not made much progress.
However, Beta didn't really want to think about such things. He saved Joshua mainly for epic tasks. Since he didn't take the other party too seriously at the beginning, it is normal for the other party to be dichotomized with him now.
That's why Beta planned to just have a large warehouse.
After the three of them finished the dishes, the housekeeper Connors came out soon after, and he said, "Master, there is a black arm outside to take you to see the warehouse. I heard it was the arrangement of the city lord."
Beta nodded to show that he understood. He asked the housekeeper to pack up the table, and he took Shirley and Amanda out.
Outside the door, a white carriage with gold edges was prepared, two snow-white horses without any color, and they looked extraordinary. There was also a strong man in a short swaying standing beside the carriage. When he saw Beta and others, he first showed a flattering smile, and then lowered his head.
There was a big hammer tattoo on his right arm, which almost covered the entire right arm. Beta probably said that this is the origin of the meaning of "black arm".
Beta and the other two got on the carriage, and Black Arm trotted in front and led the way. The coachman drove the carriage and followed slowly behind.
While shaking slightly, Shirley leaned into Beta's ear and whispered: "From top to bottom, all the people in this manor were recruited by Joshua. In other words, they are all his people. Should we change a batch?"
Beta shook his head: "No, we have been here for a short time, and if we change people, it is obvious that Joshua is told that we don't trust him. There is no real conflict or contradiction between us now. If we do this, it will deepen the rift between the two sides."
After listening to Beta's words, Shirley felt that so, so she stopped mentioning this matter.
The carriage entered the city, and after a few bends, he came to a relatively small neighborhood. He walked to the car window and said in a humble voice: "Herdes, we are here."
Beta and the other two got out of the carriage, looked around for a while, and soon discovered the big house in front.
A silver coin bounced into the black arm, and the latter subconsciously caught him.
"Take us in and have a look."
A silver coin was already a big money for Black Arm. He was overjoyed and led Beta and the other two to the big house. The door seemed very old, and the black arm pushed open with force. The wooden door made a squeaking sound, and dust fell from it.
Shirley instantly let out a light breeze, blowing away the dust.
The door is wide open. This big house is not as big as the mansion that Beta just settled in, but it is better than the empty space and there is nothing inside. It is indeed a rare thing to have such a big house as a warehouse near the center of the city.
"How to calculate the rent?" Beta asked.
"Thirty silver coins a month."
Black arms were hanging down his head, and he did not dare to look up because he found that the two female companions of the noble Lord were very beautiful. He was afraid that he would lose his composure and would cause dissatisfaction from the other party, and then he lost the business this time.
Beta continued, "What if I wanted to buy this house, how much would it cost?"
Black arm looked up at Beta in surprise, then quickly lowered his gaze, and said, "If you want to buy it, you will need twenty...twenty gold coins."
Twenty gold coins are unimaginable for Black Arm, but with the land price of Sicilia, the commercial capital, and the geographical location close to the center of the city, and the area of this house, the price is actually very conscientious.
"Okay, I'll buy this house." Beta took out twenty gold coins from the space and put them on the palm of his hand: "So, where is your land deed?"
Black arm looked at the dazzling gold coins and swallowed: "I, I don't have a land deed."
When Beta heard this, she frowned. Amanda, who had been watching the show all the time, finally couldn't help it. She smiled and said, "Hey, man, there is no land deed, why do you say that this house belongs to you?"
"No land deed." Black arm scratched his head, looked at Amanda, then quickly lowered his gaze, and said, "This is the house passed down by my grandfather. We have been living here forever and have only moved out recently."
Beta shook his head: "Without a land deed, we dare not buy this house or rent it. If something happens, it is difficult to say it clearly."
Black Arm was anxious: "This is really my house, there is really no land deed."
Beta sighed and was about to leave. At this time, among the few young people who had been staying not far away, one of them came out and shouted to Beta: "This noble master, Hei's no title deed, because the title deed is with our boss. If you want to buy this house, I can go to the boss and get the title deed."
"Get out, you guys get out." As soon as Hei'er saw the young man, he suddenly became angry: "This house belongs to our family. If Michaelo dares to come over, I will fight him directly."
"Oh, I'm so arrogant..." The young man began to mock Black Arm.
Seeing this situation, Beta knew that the warehouse could not be bought... He turned around and walked towards the carriage, planning to go to other places to see it. If it really doesn't work, he asked Shirley to build a warehouse with magic in the suburbs. Although maintaining the magic effect for a long time will put Shirley's body a little burden, it is better than buying a warehouse without a land deed.
Just as Beta was about to leave, a group of fierce men ran over the corner of the street. They quickly surrounded Beta and others, as well as their black arms.
