Chapter 202 Such consumption

The afterglow of the setting sun casts a slanting shadow on the lighthouse on the coast.

The construction of the wharf on Yingzui Island has reached the final stage, but there are still thousands of people busy on the construction site.

Sorada is one of them.

This savage from the former blueskin tribe is carrying a polished ashlar stone and climbing up the spiral steps on the edge of the lighthouse.

The salty sea breeze blew on his sweat-covered back. Under the bronze skin were knotted muscles, strong and strong.

The highest point of this lighthouse is nearly two hundred feet above the ground, and the task of transporting stones upward is not something that just anyone can do.

Those who are timid will have weak hands and feet even if they look down from above, let alone climb on the pedals with heavy objects on their backs.

In fact, there have been accidents where someone slipped and fell to their death.

The kind and wise lord later asked the craftsman leader Vito to set up a protective net around the lighthouse, so that even if it fell, he would not be killed immediately - of course, if he was hit by a stone falling from above, it would still be more serious.

Solada was stunned by his friend's question. He put down his wine glass and asked in a deep voice:

"Rick, why do you need so much money?"

He usually eats the free food distributed at the construction site. Although it doesn't taste very good, it can at least fill his stomach. At best, he can go to the mountains and forests to hunt some game on his days off to satisfy his craving.

"Yes, but you have to pay it back on time."

Rick coughed slightly, as if he wanted to pretend to come here often:

"Two venison, four roasted sweet potatoes, a plate of lettuce, and a small bottle of brandy."

"As long as I pay the down payment, the house is mine?"

Rick then said: "Actually, I also want to ask you for a favor this time."

Feeling the hot wine sinking into her throat and leaving a sweet aftertaste, Solada said rather embarrassedly:

Solada became curious and followed Rick all the way to the Commercial Street.

"How much can you borrow?"

"What do you want?"

"Yes. Lord Caesar is planning to sell the houses in the territory, and you can buy them with work points."

Rick chuckled and said mysteriously:

"Just follow me."

"It's okay. The Lord will lend me the rest."

Solada touched her friend's arm and advised, "Why don't you buy something from outside the valley?"

"It's okay!" Rick waved his hand generously and poured his friend another glass of wine.

"But, but, haven't they just started to be sold?"

“Where to eat?”

"Yes. Mr. Rick, I'm sorry that you are late."

"Buy a house?" Solada was immediately confused, "Don't you already have a place to live?"

According to the rate at which he is making money now, he may not be able to afford such a house in his lifetime.

"Yes, there is, but..."

"It's not just here." Rick drank down the glass of wine and explained to his friend with a smile, "The shops on the entire commercial street can use work points. Of course, the vendors on the street cannot."

Pushing open the heavy iron oak door, a noisy and noisy atmosphere suddenly rushed in, which made Solada, who came here for the first time, a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, then come with me. There will be an assistant bachelor here to help you deduct work points."

Sorada heard that the real owner of this tavern had a close relationship with the lord, so he dared to use the flag of the Caesar family.

Sorada felt as if a door to a new world had opened in front of him.

"It's actually like this!" Solada suddenly thought of those women's wards where beautiful girls often come and go, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Praise Lord Caesar!" Rick drew a flaming red heart on his chest, which was the symbol of the Lord of Light whom he had recently converted.

Sorada climbed to the top of the tower, piled the ashlar on the outer wall, and then returned.

“The Eagle Tavern.”

Just when Solada was worried that her friend would not be able to come up with the money to pay, she heard Rick say:

"Are you talking about work points? Okay, how much do you want?"

"Sorada, I'll treat you to a nice meal today!"

"Great!" Rick clapped his hands excitedly and diligently helped his friend pour wine.

"Lord, will you lend me money?" Solada looked in disbelief.

The two of them clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Sorada was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the maid was not surprised at all:

A maid came over and asked with a smile:

"But it was lent to us by the lord to live temporarily. I heard that if we don't work for the lord in the future, we will have to charge rent. Moreover, eight people live in one room, which is too crowded. I

I want to own my own house.”

Can work points also pay for meals?

"Is this still possible?" Sorada was shocked, "What a kind lord."

"I think the more important thing is that it can solve the problem of work points cashing in Yingzui Island."

"The prices vary greatly. The houses closer to the castle are definitely more expensive. The room I'm interested in is next to the orphanage, so it's convenient for me to visit my grandmother. However, that room costs thirty silver deer, or

Equivalent work points, so..."

"Twenty-five silver deer."

"Yes, but everyone wants to buy it. You know, the area in the Yingzui Island Valley is not big to begin with, and there are not many houses that can be built. They are all robbed as soon as they come out. Now if you still want to buy

If so, we can only choose houses in settlements outside the valley."

"Just what?"

"Say." After eating such an expensive meal from a friend, Solada was of course embarrassed to refuse.

"Don't think too much." Rick smiled and comforted his friend, "I just want to buy a house."

Solada has actually accumulated a lot of work points, so it's not necessarily impossible to try it out, but the work points haven't been cashed in yet, so he wouldn't be able to experience it even if he really had the guts.

Rick struggled for a while and finally made up his mind: "Okay! How much does it cost for the house closest to the valley entrance?"

Therefore, people who do this dangerous job will receive double work points.

“It’s just that the rest are a bit expensive.”

"How about it?" Rick urged, "Can you help me? When you want to buy a house in the future, I can also lend you money."

Rick rubbed his hands and seemed a little embarrassed: "Can you lend me some money?"

"Okay, I want to check out the house first."

"I dreamed about it." Samwell shrugged.

"What's the problem?"

After finishing the meal, Rick put the unfinished brandy into his arms and took his friend straight to the house he liked.

However, when the two arrived, they heard bad news.

"Of course." Rick raised his head proudly, "The kind lord said that we can only pay the down payment. The house I am interested in costs about nine silver deer, and then he will lend us the remaining money.

We can give him a job and pay him back slowly after making money."

"I don't know either." Margery was a little discouraged, "I just feel a little unsure...Sam, how sure are you?"

"Okay, please come with me."

Sorada was shocked that one meal here actually cost him more than half a month's wages.

After he regained his feet on the ground and was about to continue carrying the stones, he heard the supervisor say that the time was up.

Rick followed the maid away, leaving Solada alone in a daze.

Finding an empty table, Solada sat down with some anxiety at the invitation of her friend.

When Rick left and returned, the maid also brought what they ordered.

"Sold out?" Rick stared at the salesman in front of him with wide eyes.

Solada turned around and saw her friend Rick walking over and hugging his shoulders affectionately.

The Commercial Street is right next to the castle and close to the beach. Both sides of the street are lined with two-story red rock buildings. There are grocery stores, hotels, women's branches, blacksmith shops... there are all kinds of them, and it is extremely lively.

Solada knew that the Eagle Tavern was the most luxurious tavern in the territory. He had passed by it several times but had never gone in.
