The Old Mariner's Tavern, Brest Port. "Mr. Uta, Mr. Fern came here just now" As soon as the Seahorse Mercenary Group entered the door, the female owner of the tavern, Celine, greeted them warmly. "Oh, did he say anything?" Xia Zuo asked. He still remembered what he told Fern, asking him to help buy a manor. Fern has been operating in Brest for decades, and it must be better than He knew this place well. Before the two parted ways, Xia Zuo also explained some of the manor's requirements. "He said he would come and see me in the evening!" Celine laughed. "Okay, thank you!" A total of twenty or thirty people from the Seahorse Mercenary Group arrived and walked to the corner of the tavern. "Hey, Paul!" Xia Zuo saw an acquaintance, the first mate on the Free Sailor, and a group of sailors. They were all hired by Fern and worked for Fern. It is said that Paul worked on the Free Sailor every month. The income of twenty gold coins can definitely be regarded as a super high income. "Mr. Uta" Paul stood up with a smile. "Here, let me introduce you to Alfred, the leader of the Seahorse Mercenary Group. This is Paul, the first mate on the armed merchant ship." Xia Zuo introduced the two to each other. Paul seemed very enthusiastic, and although Alfred was polite, he seemed to lack interest in Paul. Although sailors and mercenaries both made a living with their heads in their belts, it was obvious that sailors were on a lower level overall. , from the perspective of combat ability, any one person from the Seahorse Mercenary Group can sweep through everyone on Paul's side. These are two completely different circles, and Xia Zuo from both parties happened to know each other, so they introduced each other. The sailors and mercenaries sat together, a total of sixty or seventy people in total, occupying ten tables. However, it seemed that they were clearly divided. The sailors occupied five tables, chatting about their own topics. Go to sea. About the sea, about the Chamber of Commerce, and the mercenaries occupied four tables, talking about various mission topics. The last table was for mixed seating. In the middle, Xia Zuo, Alfred, Paul, and some other high-status mercenary sailors sat at this table. Everyone started eating and drinking. After a hearty drink, the time gradually moved to dusk. "Mr. Wuta!" Fern came, with a hearty smile on his face covered with furry beard, and waved to Xia Zuo as soon as he entered the door. "Come here!" Xia Zuo smiled and waved. A sailor took the initiative to give up his seat, and Paul also moved his seat. Let Fern sit next to Xia Zuo. "Fern, the captain and owner of the Free Sailor, Alfred, the leader of the Seahorse Mercenary Group," Xia Zuo pointed back and forth and introduced. Alfred quickly reached out and shook hands with Fern, his attitude this time was indeed much more enthusiastic. Although Fern is not a wealthy man, he is definitely a big businessman. This status is naturally worth making friends with. "Hahaha, Mr. Alfred, I have heard of the name of the Seahorse Mercenary Group for a long time. It is my honor to meet you!" Fern laughed heartily and kept his posture very low. "That's right. It should be my honor." Alfred smiled. "Okay, you two guys, stop flattering each other and drink and drink!" Xia Zuo laughed. Both of them had a very hypocritical side. "Come on, have a drink, brothers! Have a drink!" Alfred nodded repeatedly. Raised his glass. All the mercenaries raised their glasses. Fern and the sailors also raised their wine glasses, but looked at Xia Zuo with a somewhat surprised look. He was not surprised to have such an attitude towards Xia Zuo, because Xia Zuo had helped him a lot. It also brought him huge benefits, but what happened to this group of mercenaries, especially the amazing mercenary leader, there was no reason to treat Xia Zuo like this. Listening to the tone of their conversation, they sounded like they had been old friends for many years. But the mercenaries are a group of very good guys, and Fern knows that the Seahorse Mercenary Group is a local mercenary group that is quite famous, but Xia Zuo is from the American continent and has never been to France before. Obviously they have just met. a few days. He couldn¡¯t figure out why Alfred would treat a mechanic like Xia Zuo like this. Mercenaries and mechanics are two completely different industries. This question was kept in Fern's mind. He was not the kind of person who liked to get to the bottom of things, and it was not an important question. After three rounds of drinking. The mercenaries and sailors were all a little drunk, and they were all hugging each other and making a lot of noise. Because it was night, all the taverns were like this. This was not a clean place, and it would not be annoying. People who come to the pub to drink just like this noisy atmosphere. "How are things going at the manor?" Xia Zuo put down his wine glass and looked at Fern with drunken eyes. ¡°??, look at my brain! Fern patted his forehead, looked at Xia Zuo and said: "I have already bought it. According to your requirements, it is big enough and secluded enough. There is only one small town nearby, which is also far away, and the price is high, but" "But what? " Xia Zuolian asked. "Because no one has lived there for a long time, it is a bit dilapidated and some places need to be renovated. It is estimated that it will take half a month" Fern looked at Xia Zuo with a drunken tone, "If Mr. Uta doesn't Urgent, wait for a while before going there. If you go right away, maybe the main house there has been completed" "Well I'm not in a hurry. Do you still have enough money? Xia Zuo nodded and asked again. At that time, Xia Zuo gave Fern 250,000 yuan. According to the previous agreement, he only needed to give 215,000 yuan. With an extra 35,000 yuan, he could buy the manor with all his strength. This price is enough to buy the manor. Buy a medium-sized manor anywhere in France except Paris. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t worry, the manor will satisfy you. Come on, don¡¯t talk about it, just drink! "Fern smiled and changed the subject. "You guy" Xia Zuo saw some problems on Fern's face, pointed with a smile, leaned into Fern's ear and said: "Come to me early tomorrow morning Get 50,000 gold coins and do it well, I won¡¯t let you pay for it! " "Hey, Mr. Uta" "Okay, don't talk about this, brothers, drink! " Everyone speculated about the identity of this Uta. He looked very young and was dressed in ordinary clothes. Except for the giant sword leaning on the stool beside him, which looked special, he had no other special features The next morning, Xia Zuo was still sleeping. But he was woken up by a rapid knock on the door. He looked up at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the morning. He had overslept. He got out of bed and ran to open the door. "Ah I'm sorry for oversleeping!" Follow me to the bank later. I don¡¯t have that much money. "Xia Zuo yawned, as if he hadn't woken up yet. "No, you listen to me" Fern outside the door had an apology on his face: "This matter is my fault, and I am willing to bear all the consequences. The loss is because I didn't do it well. " "What's wrong? "Xia Zuo became more emotional and blinked. "I just heard about the manor today. The manor was a haunted house. Thirty years ago, the owner and his servants, including one hundred and seventy people, died. I heard that recently There are also ghosts haunting the area. At that time, I was still wondering how 30,000 gold coins could buy such a large manor. Oh, my fault I will go to talk about checking out in a while. The deposit has been paid, and I will pay for it! "Fern sounded apologetic. He messed up the matter. "How much is the deposit? "Xia Zuo frowned slightly. "Five thousand gold coins, Mr. Wuta, don't worry, the loss will not be settled on you! "Fern continued. "Oh, forget it, even if you want that manor, you don't have to retreat, it's okay! " Xia Zuo said casually and yawned again. "Mr. Uta, this is not possible. The manor has not been sold for thirty years. There is a big problem" Fern became anxious. "It's okay, it must be a lie. If it's human, you need it. "Xia Zuo is indifferent. There is a big devil and ghosts around him? Who is afraid of whom? Xia Zuo is too lazy to waste his energy on this. Noon. "Master, are you going to fight today? The minibus is ready! "Bad, who has become a little boy, is jumping up and down in the room, flying around. Little Bard has also changed a lot from his previous appearance, mainly because he has an extra pair of wings, but the pair of horns are not there, which are the most obvious features of the big devil. The symbol will only be revealed when the body is fully formed. ¡°I¡¯m going to hit you on the head to get money. I¡¯m still a member of the Seahorse Mercenary Group, so go and have a look. "Xia Zuo laughed and scolded. "Then should I go? "Bard hung upside down on the beam, holding a small fork and gesticulating constantly. "I'm going to ask you a question, can I put away this big sword just like you did last time. "Xia Zuo asked, holding up the black sword. The Ghost Rider's sword is definitely worth more than a million if it is auctioned. It is extremely sharp and strong, but it is too big. Xia Zuo can just play around with it, but if he wears it for a long time But it was a bit troublesome. Last time, Xia Zuoke saw with his own eyes that when Bard put on the Ghost Rider's helmet, the helmet also became smaller. "Well" Bard's eyes became a little weird. , his big eyes rolled around and he said: "It's possible, but the master has to turn into a dark creature. Turning into a dark creature can activate this sword.""All the powers can be made bigger or smaller" "Pretend I didn't ask!" "Xia Zuo sighed, only a ghost would turn into a dark creature. "Master, you can give the sword to Xiaoba. Xiaoba will keep it for the master, absolutely no problem! "Bud rolled in the air and flew to Xia Zuo's side with a smile. "Huh? Xia Zuo nodded thinking: "This is a good idea, take it!" "" Bartley Manor, Villa Hall. "Why aren't you here yet?" " "I guess I'm scared! " "That's right, the Seahorse Mercenary Group has always been a third-rate mercenary group, and nothing can change it! " Wearing gorgeous clothes, Shabi stood by the window and looked around, with a faint smile on his lips. He was a little nervous at first, but after winning the help of 'Three Yuan Wrath', he felt completely relieved. Bartley Manor is located in a remote area. There is not even a small town within ten kilometers around it. It is difficult to find out what happens here.
