Chapter 49: Valenia

The bell tower of St. Heard's Cathedral rang twelve dullly.

The calendar has been turned over again, and now it is August 19, 1379, the glory calendar.

Tulum Port, No. 47 Palm Tree Street, this is a luxurious single-family building with white walls, red tiles, exaggerated external relief decoration, and the neat palm trees in the yard, making the living environment quite good.

"Even the opera actress who has become popular recently, she can't afford the house here." Qiao stood outside the back door of the small building with a cigar in her mouth, whispering to pull her fingers and counting the accounts: "So, how much has this guy Yanan given her?"

Palm Tree Street is an emerging wealthy area in Tulum Port. The starting price is more than 100,000 gold marks.

The Vitu family has certain shares in the old theater that was destroyed by shelling and the new theater today. He knows how valuable a popular actor is. Miss Virenya, as the latest popular opera actress, has a legal total income of about 3,000 to 5,000 gold marks in a year.

Compared with ordinary civilians, this is already an astronomical income.

Just compared to the housing prices here...

Ya followed Qiao and he coughed: "Master, Miss Virenia, you can choose to rent this house."

Spreading his hands, teeth smiled and said, "Near Palm Tree Street, the average rent of a mansion is about 5,000 gold marks a year, and the annual return rate of 5% is very ordinary, but it is constant and long-lasting."

Qiao was stunned and shrugged: "Wow, of course, you can rent a house. But I rarely have this concept. I like something and I always buy it directly."

His lips moved and Joe exhaled a thick stream of smoke.

The five thousand gold mark is undoubtedly a sky-high price that ordinary people cannot afford. Therefore, the residents of Palm Tree Street are either new wealthy businessmen with successful business or artists with noble people behind them.

Opera actor, ballet actor, poet, painter, composer, pianist...

Many famous art celebrities in Tulum Port live here. Palm Tree Street is the most artistic street in Tulum Port, not just because it is adjacent to the New Opera House.

Standing a little further, paying great attention to hiding one's body in the shadow of trees at any time, Si Gengsi coughed lightly:

"A ignorant young woman, who became famous and became famous quickly, became famous, had a vanity and enjoyment, especially to maintain her pomp among her peers. How could she refuse a luxury house that was too extravagant and wasted for her? So, she should have rented this house with all her annual income."

With a sigh, Si Gengsi murmured with unforgettable resentment:

"What followed was naturally a tight wallet, and a personal finance that was too short of high-end cosmetics. Damn nobles, they knew that they were tempting and degenerate, and they would definitely take advantage of the situation. Miss Virenya actually fell into Anan's lover? Do you believe that they would be true love?"

Shaking his head, Si Gengsi muttered in disgust: "No, how could it be love? His age can be her father!"

"A shameful deal, a shameless deal... Great Mu, look, look, this is the nobles of the Kingdom of Saint Hia. This is, what is called, the true face of your most devout believer!"

Qiao sighed in his heart, how much resentment does Mr. Si Gengsi have in his heart?

However, it can be seen from this that Miss Virenya has become so popular in Tulum Port recently that even Mr. Si Gengsi has become her loyal drama fan.

The grimace shopkeeper quietly pushed open the back door made of complex and exquisite shapes, made of bronze hollow carvings, and waved to Qiao.

Qiao walked into the mansion surrounded by Ya, Sigens, and a group of guards.

In the kennel next to the back door, two large fist lion dogs collapsed to the ground, their long tongues drooping out of their mouths, and they were snoring in a low voice. In the small room next to the kennel, a male servant who was on duty was also in a drowsy sleep.

Following the path between palm trees, we walked into the small building in the middle of the yard. The whole mansion was quiet and there was no sound. Heavy snoring came from the servants' rooms, and all the men, servants and maids were asleep to death.

"Beautiful job, grimace shopkeeper!" Qiao exclaimed sincerely: "It is a good thing for everyone, especially Miss Virenya, to be able to take away that information without disturbing anyone."

Think about it, according to Anan's account, the Kingdom of Saint-Shia prepared a squadron headed by four first-class battleships outside the sea for this information, and Qiao's heart couldn't help but sink.

This matter will not end so easily.

Follow the stairs, go straight to the second floor, follow the corridor, and go straight to the reception room at the end. Here, there is another arc staircase leading to the third floor of the owner's daily living.

The largest living room on the third floor, all the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the pier are open, the thick velvet curtains are sucked, and only the gentle translucent gauze curtains are put down.

The night wind blows the gauze curtains, the faint fragrance floats, and on the soft sofa in the living room, several slim and charming girls lying there in a straight line.

There were a few silver hookahs on the ground, and long hoses hung on the ground. In the cigarette mouth, a faint smoke mixed with spices suddenly emerged.

The air was a little turbid, and an ambiguous mist echoed in the room.

The girls were dressed in extremely cool clothes, and their teeth whistled softly. Si Gengsi turned around and called out a group of guards to stand outside the corridor, strictly forbidding them to walk half a step.

Qiao looked deeply at the girl with soft and black hair as soft as satin on the sofa.

With strong three-dimensional facial features, ivory-colored skin reflects a faint light under the dim light, and a thin white body, a layer of light pink nail polish is applied to the fingernails and toenails.

A few days ago, under the pressure of Leah, Joe accompanied her to watch the recently popular opera "Nice Merchant". He recognized this person as Virenya, the heroine of "Nice Merchant".

A very delicate beauty.

Thinking about the honor of His Excellency Yanan and his age, Joe whistled gently: "To use the lines of "The Merchant of Nice", this is a dirty world. Which flower can come out of the mud without staining?"

Shaking his head, Joe walked straight through the living room and entered Virenya's bedroom.

According to Yanan's confession, at the head of the bed in Virenya's bedroom, Joe slid a huge oil painting of "Water Lily" more than six feet away, revealing a three-foot square safe behind.

It was still the familiar mountain-patterned shield badge. Qiao smiled and entered the eighteen-digit password confessed by Yanan.

When you open the heavy safe door, you will see a thick cowhide official document box that is one and a half feet long, one and a half feet wide and half a foot thick.

Qiao took out the official box and carefully examined the two small padlocks on the official box.

The padlock was not damaged at all, and several secret notes that Yanan confessed were intact. It was obvious that after Yanan handed over the information to Miss Virenya, the beautiful girl did not develop any curiosity about the official document box that should not have.

"The kind Muteste is above, it is a good thing for her and us." Qiao gently patted the official document box.

Then, he curiously flipped through other things in the safe.

A travel passport, followed by a stack of blank traveler's checks, and a dozen small boxes containing several very good gems and jewelry. According to the market price, it is about 30,000 gold marks.

A velvet purse with less than a hundred gold coins in it, and there were also several large gold pounds minted by the Ice Sea Kingdom Mint. Next to the purse, there was a delicate small wallet with more than seven hundred gold marks of banknotes.

That's all.

An opera actress who just made her mark in Tulum Port and was soon popular, has only so much wealth.

"Do you need an advanced prescription for the strength potion?" Laplaci's voice rang out in time.

"Oh, no, I'm a policeman, not a despicable thief!" Jo hurriedly rejected Laplacie's proposal.

After taking a serious look at the safe that looked a little empty, Qiao was about to close the safe door, his fingers suddenly shook for no reason, and his pupils turned pale red, and the three-circular hexagram magic array deep in his pupils slowly rotated again.

Qiao's hand shook left and right in the safe, and then he grabbed a ball of vortex black light in his sight. With a "click", a secret door in the safe was activated, and there was actually a layer of mezzanine inside the safe.

In this mezzanine, stacks of brand new golden mark banknotes are filled with nearly a hundred and two-pound gold nuggets are neatly placed together. At the top of these banknotes and gold, a milky white crystal ball is placed right.

Qiao looked at the crystal ball with deep eyes, looking at the wealth with a total value of over a million gold mark.

This crystal ball looks ordinary at first glance, but only in the crimson view, Qiao can see the unfathomable force inside this crystal ball, like a deep pool. It is deep and twisted, like a tiny channel leading to an unfathomable existence.

Qiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, and the red light in his eyes disappeared.

"Wow!" Qiao whispered: "Our Miss Virenya seems to be more than just a simple opera actress..."

The unique laughter of Laplacina, like a parrot fish gnawing on corals, rang again.

"Not... If you are willing to pay a little bit of insignificant money, I can even tell you..." Laplacie's words came to an abrupt end, obviously deliberately catching Joe's appetite.

"Oh, I don't want to know." Qiao shook his head, closed the secret door again, restored the safe, returned the oil painting to its original position, and then walked out with great strides with the safe.
