Chapter Sixty: A Peaceful Abode and a Joyful Occupation
"Thank you, Miss Gallo? I'm having a hard time expressing my gratitude right now. Thank you so much for saving my son." Tudorol bowed deeply to Gallo.
Karo hastily walked away, this bow himself can not afford, Tudor also did not insist, to his third son Tuke said "Te, send DeLan master back to rest first, Master is also tired, and call a few people to take care of Lamen, Miss Karo, you are also tired, why don't we go out together and have a cup of tea."
Karo and Delan both nodded, on the one hand, Tulamen indeed needed a quiet rest, Master Delan had just consumed a lot and also needed to go back and recover well, while Karo, at this moment, was also thinking of small calculations.
The room was soon empty, and everyone left. Gallo followed Tudor into a living room, where Tudor ordered someone to bring tea and snacks, then sent everyone else away, leaving only the two of them. Apparently, Tudor wanted to talk to him.
"Please." Gallo didn't hesitate and started eating directly. He hadn't eaten anything all morning, and after being busy for so long, he was naturally a bit hungry.
After eating a few pieces of pastry and drinking a cup of tea, Gallo put down the cup and looked at Tudorol "Lord, you can speak now, why did you call me alone."
"Heh heh, no reason, because I think in your case, there should be some things that others don't want to know. Now that we're alone, we can have a quiet chat. Let me ask you a question first, how did you figure out the poison of the Swallowing Heart Orchid?"
"Swallowing the Heart of the Dragon Orchid, its flavor is like that of a true orchid. Its color changes into thousands of hues, making it difficult to identify. It has a unique energy within, and its juice is black in color. It possesses extremely high medicinal value, but due to its difficulty in growing, it requires an extremely high level of environmental conditions. Moreover, it must absorb nutrients from among ten thousand orchids in order to survive. Its unique effects are ineffective on other species, but for the Dragon Clan and Half-Dragon Clan, they possess a very high level of harm. When ingested, dragon scales appear dark and require blood guidance to be absorbed. However, once mixed with dragon's blood and the juice is extracted, its effects become even better than before, and it loses its toxic properties that are harmful to the Dragon Clan."
Tudor nodded "Understood, Miss Gallo's literary talent makes me admire, and looking at your movements just now, you're not an ordinary person either. I don't know what brings you to our city of You, what can I do to help? As long as I can be of assistance, I will definitely go all out."
"The lord's words are heavy, and I'm also lucky to have cured the young lord's injuries. But speaking of which, I do have a request."
"Oh, go ahead and say it."
"I'm new to You City, the environment here is very good, I want to settle down temporarily and hope to find a quiet house to live in, I don't know if this requirement is too demanding."
"Haha, how is that possible? Alright, tell me, what kind of requirements do you have? I'll get someone to arrange it for you." Tudorol laughed and said "Our city of Yu is a large metropolis, and its area is absolutely not much smaller than any kingdom's capital. You wanting a set of rooms is really too simple."
"Alright then, I won't be polite. My requirements aren't high, just hoping for a quiet place, preferably with a basement. The house should be sturdy, that's all."
"Oh, okay, no problem, anything else?" Tudor reached out and took a box from beside him, opening it to look inside. "As for the house, it's already been arranged. There's a vacant property in the northern part of the city, about 50 square meters in size, built just last year using sturdy grey stone that can guarantee quality for thirty years. There's also a fairly large basement downstairs, and the surrounding area is relatively quiet with not many people around, how about it?"
Jia Luo couldn't help but admire the city lord's efficiency, "Great, thank you so much for your help, City Lord."
Tudor took a pen and wrote a few words on one of the papers, "Alright, this suite has been arranged in your name. This is the deed, take it, with our special seal on it, no one else can forge it except us, be careful with it."
"Alright, thank you very much for your help, I think I should be going too." Gallo took the deed and looked up at the sky which was already getting a bit late, so he decided to leave.
Tudor nodded "Alright, I'll find someone to send you."
Arriving at his own house, Garro let out a sigh. He really did have no luck when it came to having a place to live. On Earth, there was no need to think about it - his home had definitely become a ruin by now. The room in Garrotte's place probably didn't exist anymore either. Now he had another one, but who knew how long this one would last?
Go in and take a look, it's not bad, although it's a bit small, the basement is still very good, it's built very solidly, the waterproofing is also very perfect, the temperature is moderate, the humidity is good, and you don't have to worry about the materials anymore, after all, your own space is limited, and later on, a large amount of materials will still need to be arranged elsewhere.
The house is empty and bare. Judging from the sky, it will be dark in a few hours. In order to have a place to live, I should go out and buy some furniture now.
Among the treasures taken from the mountain bandits, coins made up the majority. In total, there were just over 30,000 gold coins, which was already a huge sum in this place, but Galo knew that no matter how much money he had, it was meaningless in the face of alchemy, so he still had to be frugal.
Bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, bedding, other household items, spent a lot of time, actually not demanding on accommodation, took a look and walked into a hardware store.
There were a lot of things placed here, and for a moment, it made Galo's eyes dazzle because there were really too many things that had never been seen on Earth. Thinking about figuring out so many things, Galo felt a headache coming on, and looking at the prices again, oh my god, they're really expensive.
The most ordinary materials are already priced in silver coins, let alone the higher-end ones? I may still need a lot of magic cores for experimentation later on, what about the money then?
The more I think about it, the dizzier I get. Forget it, let's just not think about it. Gallo picked out some cheap materials he had never seen before and then thought about it some more and bought a bunch of paper and pens. Anyway, they're all going to be used eventually. But still, that was over 50 gold coins gone in an instant.
"It won't do to go on like this, sitting and eating will eventually lead to trouble. It seems I need to speed up a bit, think of a way to research something and produce some products to sell for money, just like Earth before. Having determined his future direction, Galo felt much more at ease."
But she didn't know that at this moment, in a distant place, something else was happening.
"How detestable! You bunch of fools! How much time has passed and you still haven't found anything?! It's infuriating!" Prince Kahn thundered. "You're told to find one person, with such distinctive features, and it's that difficult?!"
Several people kneeling on the ground were silent, because this time they were really too ashamed. They had been searching for almost a month and had no intelligence to speak of, let alone any gains. Moreover, the target of their search was not someone else, but their prince's heartthrob, who might even become the future empress.
"Alright, son, don't be angry anymore." Gugedro walked in and waved his hand "You all go down now, search carefully again, report immediately if there's any news."
"Yes!" Several people hastily left.
Kahn walked down with a heavy sense of loss in his tone "Father..."
"Ah, kid, don't push yourself too hard, just relax a bit, I hope it's not for nothing." Gugdelro patted Kahn on the back and whispered softly.
Kahn nodded "I know, Your Majesty, but I just can't forget..."
Gugedro nodded understandingly. "I can understand your feelings, but as a prince of the kingdom, sometimes personal grudges need to be put aside. By the way, I have a task here that needs you to handle."
Kahn took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down "Speak, Your Majesty."
"I hope you can attend the grand auction held in Yu City twenty days later on my behalf. It is said that there will be top-notch items appearing at that time. I give you full proxy rights, and at that time, you can determine the auction items according to your own judgment. Can you?"
"Is!" Kahn understood, this was also the reason why his father asked him to go out and relax.
There were also many others, including Eli, the captain of the Golden Sword Knights, Artimicia's court spirit mage, Ravemia, and one other person who was Princess Dina, the third princess of the Kingdom of Rajim.
On the other side, another person also set off, with the same goal of heading to Yu City. He was the lord of Jialun City, a powerful sixth-level mage named Mahaya.
Garro didn't expect that the person she least wanted to see and the one who most wanted to see her were now setting off together towards where she was, while Garro was still leisurely decorating her room. Since the entire room wasn't very big, with only two rooms and a living room, it just needed a quick tidy up. One of the rooms would serve as her bedroom, and the other one could temporarily be used as a storage room.
What pleased Galo the most was that this house also had a kitchen and a built-in bathroom, which only needed minor improvements to be usable. To know that until now, she still hadn't gotten used to the unique taste of this world.
