Chapter 69 Woodcutter and Sheep Herder

The sound insulation of the wooden house is poor, and any movement or noise can be easily penetrated, which itself is also a major source of noise.

Wooden boards are easily deformed by moisture and emit an unpleasant musty smell.

Rats grind their teeth and like to gnaw on wooden boards, so you can often hear strange "chicking, gurgling, gurgling" sounds when you sleep at night.

When burning a fireplace in winter, you must be very careful, otherwise it is easy to turn your home into a big bonfire and you become a barbecue.

In comparison, the stone house does not have these shortcomings at all. If it has an independent courtyard, it will be perfect.

No. 129, Red Snapper Alley along the river in Greenleaf City, is the new residence of the master and apprentice.

Stepping out of the rented carriage, taking the key and opening the courtyard door, you will see a well-tended garden.

Around the garden, there is a stone wall more than 2 meters high, dividing the residence into a small independent world.

In the middle of the garden stands a two-story stone building of about 200 square meters.

Just looking at it makes people feel comfortable.

"I just saw that there is a servant's room in the backyard that can accommodate four servants. So, we can also hire a gardener to help take care of the garden."

"By the way, I see there is a small stable in the backyard. Why not just buy a carriage and hire a coachman, or hire a gardener who can drive the carriage."

Harrick smiled bitterly: "Because I was just as restless as you back then, until I was hit by an arrow in the thigh. Okay, now that the painting is done, I have to send it to the buyer."

When the two arrived, it was exactly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun was shining down, hitting the front of the small building.

There are five square windows on the front of the small building, all of which are equipped with high-quality glass. The sunlight shines through the glass, making the interior of the entire stone house very bright, and you can easily imagine the warmth inside.

So, one teaching, one learning, time flows quietly and silently.

"The stone house has three floors, two above ground and one underground."

Because of the better environment, her lecture ideas became much clearer, and the one who benefited was naturally Rosen, the apprentice.

With this thought, Rosen completely concealed his thoughts and started drinking leisurely with Thrandis on the balcony.

"There is no other way."

"In Silver Moon Castle, for all those easy and profitable businesses, such as big hotels, casinos, brothels, etc., there is a nobleman standing behind them. Those who operate on the facade are all the nobleman's servants."

He smiled and introduced: "The original owner spent at least 200 crowns to drill this well."

This knowledge is not much different from that of Earth, but the details are different. This is normal, after all, human nature is the same.

The most exciting thing is the second floor.

He took out a bottle of high-quality cider from the luggage that had not yet been unsealed, and then took out two crystal glasses. After each person poured a glass, they took it to the balcony on the second floor.

After he finished painting "Beach Party", he was in no hurry to leave.

Then he said: "Teacher, it's getting late and I have to clean up the room. You can rest here and leave everything to me."

"However, most knights are honorary titles. If you want to become a noble lord with your own territory, you have to look at fate."

"Oh, thank you very much, we're fine."

"My mentor is devoted to me in terms of magic. Leave all the trivial matters in this world to me, the apprentice."

The exterior wall of the small building is made of hard blue ashlar stone with lime mortar. The exterior wall is pure natural while the interior wall is decorated with decorative light blue lime.

Rosen thought about his past experiences and found that this was indeed the case.

"It's just that painting makes money. You get something for every effort you make. If you don't do it, you won't get any income. It's a firewood-type job."

"Young man, I can understand what you are thinking."

When Uncle Harrick was busy mounting the oil painting, he expressed his thoughts.

“It’s really good.”

Rosen was also very satisfied, because Thrandis liked to bathe and consumed a lot of water. With this well, he didn't have to go out to fetch water every day.

He has also made great achievements in magic and has learned all three virtues and six skills.

Alice tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "The new home is very warm and full of sunshine. Although it is not as good as a real large manor, it is small and exquisite. Is it called a sunshine house?"

He couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, it would be great if Uncle Shabolai was the Earl of Silver Moon Castle.

After half a glass of apple nectar, Thrandis's cheeks turned bright red and she sighed with contentment.

"Because someone has been maintaining it, the furniture and decoration in the house are well preserved, which can save the two of them a lot of renovation costs."

"Not only do they think earlier than you do, they also do it earlier than you do and do it thoroughly."

In the evening, Anna began to teach Rosen the magic knowledge in the flower hall on the second floor.

"Is there no other way?"

"The basement is a storage room. It is very cool but slightly damp. It can store some items that are resistant to moisture but not heat, such as bottles of fine wine."

In fact, only gravity spells can directly resist gravity spells, while other types of spells can only resist indirectly.

The stone house has always been taken care of by someone, a well-dressed middle-aged man named Ma Fu, who is a professional housekeeper.

"Go to your business, my dearest apprentice."

His mana has also increased a lot, and he can now release about 10 small missiles in one breath.

The difficulty level is 4 stars, and it’s called ‘The Power of Impermanence’.

After a sweet kiss, he asked again: "Teacher, would you like to give your new home a name?"

Rosen and Thrandis were the only two people left in the small building and courtyard.

"The mentor is a rare magic genius, but in terms of life, she is a standard noble lady."

The problem is that Chabolais is the second son, his status is not high enough, and the protection he can provide is not strong enough. Naturally, he does not earn enough money.

As soon as I had this idea, I heard Alice's voice coming from the heating platform.

"Hehe~~ My dearest apprentice, come here, the instructor wants to give you a kiss."

Ma Fu bowed slightly, saluted, and left neatly.

But there are changes.

Early the next morning, Rosen rushed to the Hound House to paint as usual.

Rosen suggested: "Mentor, let's hire a cook with excellent cooking skills?"

With the assistance of virtual machines, Rosen was able to quickly master these new spells.

But where can I find such a good job?

The housekeeper Ma Fu said with a smile: "If you two have no problem, then the house handover is over and I have to go back to Wangyue Garden to report on my work."

"Ah~~How wonderful~~~My dearest apprentice, I seem to have returned to my girlhood again."

Rosen's spellcasting ability has successfully stabilized at four stars, and is faintly breaking through to five stars.

"Rosen, the idea is a good idea, and you are not the only one who thinks so, the noble lords also think so."

Naturally, Rosen would not refuse.

Soon, the two of them followed Ma Fu into the small building.

"Uncle, you know so much." Rosen praised.

Although Alice is enthusiastic and lively and has no fingers in the water, she has learned some prudent calculations after being poor for three years.

Now is the time for lively Alice. She lifted up her skirt and ran towards the well in small steps. She saw that the well water was crystal clear and exuded a crystal-like luster under the sunlight.

"There is a flower hall on the second floor, as well as three bedrooms, a dedicated dressing room, and a small and exquisite sun terrace."

"I can only say that if you want to ignore worldly matters and focus on studying magic, you must at least become a baron, and your territory must be quite prosperous and can bring you an income of at least 5,000 crowns a year."

"The lobby on the first floor has a large fireplace that connects the two floors, and also has a lobby, kitchen, two guest rooms, and an independent bathroom."

At this time, he acts as a guide.

"Rosen~~ Open a bottle of cider quickly, let's have an afternoon drink."

"There are heating flues in the walls of each room, and each flue has a special switch that can be turned on and off according to the situation."

Rosen agreed: "Well, that's right. Let's hire a cook, a cleaning maid, and a gardener first."

He carried the painting and left, while Rosen fell into deep thought.

Rosen's understanding of gravity far exceeds that of ordinary people. Coupled with the high intensity of his magic power, the power of the impermanence he releases can reach the middle-level and lower levels. Because of the special characteristics of gravity-based spells, it is extremely difficult to defend against.

A night of silence.

"This well has also returned the owner's investment. There are at least five springs at the bottom of the well. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the well water is always clear and overflowing."

“The room is quiet, clean and spacious, the air is fresh and warm, it’s great.”

Harrick laughed after hearing this.

"If you spend more time painting, you will have less time learning spells. It's not very cost-effective. If only you could find a job like sheep herding.'

When they arrived at the balcony, they saw Alice lying on a wicker chair with her legs curled up, squinting her eyes lazily and playing with the ends of her hair leisurely with one hand, like an elegant and cute cat.
