Chapter 69 The grass won’t bleed

"So, sir, are you really not considering other houses?" Charles looked at Li He and asked.

"Don't think about it, just stay here." Li He affirmed.

"..." Charles was stunned, looking at the extremely insistent Li He, and for a long time he didn't know what to say.

After more than ten seconds, Charles took a deep breath and said: "Okay, if you really want to buy it, I can give you a suitable price.

"How many?"

"Five thousand gold coins..." Charles stretched out his hand and said, but before Li He could say anything, his tone changed and he curled up two fingers, "Generally, courtyards like this in other places are sold for five thousand gold coins.

But due to the special circumstances of this courtyard, the maximum limit is three thousand gold coins."

"But..." Charles took the initiative to curl up a finger, "But a few years ago, the price of this courtyard was three thousand gold coins. No one has inquired about the price. Now it will definitely be lowered, at most two thousand gold coins."

"In addition, the former owner of the courtyard said that if someone really wants to buy it, he can lower the price by 500 gold coins." Charles half-shrunk his fourth finger, "So, the deal can be done with 1,500 gold coins. This person

Sir, what do you think?"

"Deal." Li He responded, looking at Charles, feeling that the other person was a little too honest, not as honest as a businessman.

Thanks to having been in charge of accounts at Blackstone Castle before, he has a relatively good understanding of the prices of goods in the Kingdom of Fornarensa. To buy a medium-sized courtyard in the royal capital of Lunsa, five or six thousand gold coins is an average price. If the location is comparable

Okay, maybe even higher. Considering that the courtyard here is haunted and other reasons, 1,500 gold coins is a really appropriate price.

Generally speaking, this price requires constant bargaining with the merchant to get it. Unexpectedly, the other party quoted the lowest price themselves.

Naturally, there was no need for him to be more hesitant and he agreed directly.

Speaking of which, he has never bothered with the price. Whether it is five thousand gold coins or one thousand five hundred gold coins, he can afford it. He owns Blackstone Castle and has a lot of gold coins stored in Blackstone Castle, although it does not make him rich.

But in an enemy country, you can also achieve wealth and freedom. Just buying a house in Lensa is really not a big deal.

"Is the deal done? That's good!" Charles nodded after listening to Li He's answer, and then asked, "Excuse me, sir, when do you want to sign the purchase contract? As long as you sign the contract and pay the money, this house will be yours."

It’s yours.”

"The sooner the better."

"How about tomorrow?"

"This morning."

"Ahem..." Charles almost choked on his saliva and looked at Li He in disbelief, "Sir, are you really not thinking about it anymore... After all, it's a big business of 1,500 gold coins.

Can’t wait for a day?”

"I'm in a hurry."

"I..." Charles opened and closed a few times, looking like he wanted to persuade, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact the owner of this courtyard right away."

…

In the blink of an eye, half an hour later.

"Meat and Spirits" hotel lobby.

It was the time between morning and noon, the business in the hotel was quiet, and there were almost no people.

Li He, Alex, and Ciel appear here.

In addition to the three people, there is also a tall and thin man who is the owner of the haunted house. From the look of it, the man is extremely thin, with deep sunken eye sockets, and the skin on his face is almost attached to the bones, like a living skeleton. According to

The other party said that before he lived in the haunted house, he weighed more than two hundred kilograms. After living in the haunted house, he was tortured by invisible ghosts and became like this.

In addition, there are two elderly people, almost in their sixties.

According to Charles, he was the notary who signed the contract.

Normally, business transaction contracts don't need to be so troublesome, but after all, it involves fifteen hundred gold coins, which is a relatively large amount. The object of the transaction is a haunted house, and it's easy to live in it and regret it, so it's better to be more formal.

In addition, there was also the owner of the hotel, which weighed more than 300 pounds. He seemed to be joining in the fun, sitting and watching.

Finally, there was the son of the hotel owner, a naughty boy who looked like a little meatball. Li He thought that the other party was also joining in the fun, and frowned. Although he was too lazy to teach such a naughty boy a lesson, he was not very happy to see him either.

However, what is somewhat surprising is that the naughty boy seems not to be a bystander, but one of the participants in signing the contract. Charles deliberately chose to sign the contract in the hotel, and after serious discussions with the hotel owner, he specially signed the contract from the kitchen

The naughty kid was invited. The naughty kid was a little restless at first, but Charles paid for it and asked the innkeeper to serve him a roast chicken, which he chewed until his mouth was full of oil. Then he calmed down.

And this also made Li He couldn't help but be curious.

However, he did not explore too much. He just wanted to complete the signing of the contract as soon as possible, and then enter the courtyard to carefully search for any clues that the Blood Countess might leave behind.

…

"Okay, gentlemen, as long as you write your names on this contract, the deal will be established." Charles said, and sent the two parchment contracts to Li He and the tall and thin man.

before.

The tall and lanky man was the first to pick up the quill and signed his name: Dally Blood.

Li He picked up the quill, but did not sign his real name. Since the battle with Hale, he was very careful to protect his information, and after thinking about it, he wrote the pseudonym "Lynn Shock".

"Congratulations to both of you." Seeing the names signed, Charles said quickly, and then handed over a strong wooden stick that was more than one meter long and two fingers thick.

"This is?" Li He asked with some confusion.

"What, Mr. Lin En is not a native of Lunsa? Don't you know the rules of Lunsa for signing large-amount contracts?" Dali laughed and reached out to take the stick, "In this case, I'm not polite. The last part of the contract is

, let me finish it."

Dali held the stick firmly and waved it, and the stick made a sound of breaking through the air. Dali's pale face was filled with blood, and he looked a little excited.

Holding the stick, Dali walked towards the naughty kid next to him who was munching on roast chicken. As he walked, he explained to Li He: "It's like this, Mr. Lin En, in Lunsa, except for the big nobles, some relatively wealthy people

People with money and merchants are more cautious when conducting large-amount transactions.

It is necessary to sign a contract, but the contract is only dead. There may be fraud, such as false content or forged signatures. Therefore, in addition to signing the contract, there must be a supplement. The specific way to supplement is to find the best one nearby.

The naughty kid who resisted beating the most and deserved the most beating was beaten so hard that his parents didn't even recognize him at the signing ceremony.

In this way, the child will remember this incident for the rest of his life, and will have a shadow of this day for the rest of his life. From this day on, as long as the naughty child is alive, it will be a living, walking contract. Apart from the written contract, he will

The biggest guarantee.”

"Such a guarantee is really unique..." Li He couldn't help but said after hearing this.

"Indeed, but it's very effective and has been proven for hundreds of years." Dali said, walking up to the naughty boy.

The naughty kid continued to eat the roasted chicken. Dali tapped the naughty kid on the head with a wooden stick. The naughty kid raised his head with dissatisfaction and asked, "What are you doing?!"

"Did you know that I signed a contract just now? I sold the courtyard at No. 7 Greystone Street to the gentleman over there." Dali spoke and pointed to Li He.

The naughty kid glanced at it and asked angrily: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it's none of your business, you have to keep this in mind."

"Why?" the naughty kid asked, rolling his eyes.

Dali laughed, and the innkeeper, the father of the naughty kid next to him, shook his head and walked into the kitchen.

"Why do you ask? Well, I'll tell you, it's based on this!" The next moment, Dali held the stick and swung it down unceremoniously.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound, followed by a scream like a child killing a pig.

"Papa papa!" Dali showed no mercy. He swung the stick down continuously and mercilessly. As he said before, he wanted to beat the naughty child until his parents would not recognize him.

The naughty child screamed for a while, then realized that no one came to save him, so he struggled to escape.

Dali chased him while shouting: "Hurry, close the door, don't let him escape..."

Dali, who was obviously extremely thin, but armed with a stick, unexpectedly unleashed an astonishing attack power, beating the naughty child until he howled like a ghost.

"Bah bang bang!"

"Ah! It hurts! Stop hitting! Ah!"

"Pa bang..."

"Stop...stop fighting..."

Finally, the naughty child was carried into the back kitchen. He screamed in pain and cried out with tears streaming down his face: "I remember, don't hit me. I remember, don't hit me..."

I have to say that this was indeed an impressive contract signing.

After the signing was completed, Li Hyuk went directly to the haunted courtyard without staying any longer.

Before setting off, the house merchant Charles stopped and asked if he needed to hire some servants. After all, the haunted courtyard had not been inhabited for a long time, and if he wanted to live in it, he would definitely need to clean it up. As a house merchant, he could also help hire servants.

, no fee is required, he will take a commission from the hired servants.

The proposal was very good, but Alex stopped him anxiously and refused.

Alex said that he alone is enough.

Charles didn't believe it, but Alex didn't explain too much. He followed Li He to No. 7 Graystone Street and quickly got busy, giving full play to the devil's power.
