Chapter six hundred and twentieth, investigating the mansion
When Ryan and Sulia rode pure blood elf war horses to the commercial street in the Nurfu area, it happened to be about an hour before the "afternoon tea" every day began.
The entire wealthy area has begun to get busy. Almost every noble mansion has carriages decorated with flowers, portraits and high-quality silk cloth, and carriages are traveling back and forth on the streets. Each carriage carriage is filled with a gorgeously dressed noble lady or aristocratic lady. Most of them are wearing fox fur coats or vests outside, low-cut long skirts made of silk, and dome-wide hats with many hats on their heads, stockings and high heels. The grand scene of the belles is indeed refreshing, if not so many guards and servants follow behind the carriage.
In this regard, Nur and Brunswick are different. Brunswick is relatively crowded, even in the wealthy area, it is very crowded. If the noble ladies and noble ladies do this, it will easily hinder traffic and eventually attract the attention of the capital army and the emperor. For the nobles of the empire's military achievements, they are quite annoyed by this. Naturally, the noble ladies and noble ladies do not dare to have such a large battle, and there are few large-scale gatherings.
Nour is different. First, the ruler of Nour was the Regent Schroeder family before, and the ruler later was the empire's baron Emmanuel. They were not very strict in this regard. After all, Emmanuel, that is, Emilia herself is also a woman. She didn't participate much, but she could understand.
Second, the streets of Noor are much wider than those of Brunswick, and they are extremely orderly and difficult to get blocked.
Therefore, the female nobles in the entire city gained a certain degree of autonomy, and the female nobles held various activities all day to pass the boring time.
In Nuer, the entertainment life of female nobles is still very rich, including various art gatherings and activities at Nuer University, reading parties, dinner parties, horseback riding picnics, watching various competitions and conferences in the city, shopping, and the most important aristocratic traditional afternoon tea party in Nuer.
A large number of female nobles went directly to Nuer University in a carriage. It seemed that there was a study club today. You could listen to lectures, socialize, and complete afternoon tea.
This is a circle that countless women want to enter. Whenever women in the old world talk about the exquisite life of the Nour female nobles, they always look fascinated. It takes a long time to wake up from their dreams.
Because of this, Ryan never blamed the maid at the Magrit State Hotel. He always had a dream. What if it came true?
From this perspective, Duchess Surya, who rides a pure-blooded elf war horse, seems quite alternative.
Sulia also felt this. Today, the female knight was wearing a satin texture mocha warm floral shirt, a retro cherry wine-red late autumn tweed coat, a white lace striped one-step skirt, a pair of slender and straight long legs wrapped in black opaque thick pantyhose, and a pair of black high-heeled boots on her feet. The hem of the skirt fluttered slightly with the movement of the pure-blooded elf war horse.
Even if Suliya is not wearing a noble dress now, no one would suspect that this beautiful female knight is a real female noble, because her temperament is too prominent. No one can perfectly integrate the heroism, nobleness, intellect and motherhood that belong to women like Suliya. Her appearance has even attracted the attention of some male nobles in the wealthy area. However, seeing that the Holy Grail Knight next to her is obviously her husband, he is not afraid to come up to chat with him for the time being.
Sulia's fair and charming face was a little rosy. She rode a pure-blooded elf war horse and said to her husband: "Think about it carefully, Ryan, we don't have many opportunities to go out alone like this. The most interesting time I remember was Curona's mill and windmill. Unfortunately, we didn't stay alone for long, and Mathubad and Fiona interrupted us... Now we even have Devin Hill..."
"Why, Madam wants to have an afternoon tea party, too?" Ryan's answer meant something.
"Ryan, you know what I want is not that." Sulia pulled the reins and signaled Richter to walk slowly. She said angrily: "You did it on purpose!"
"Hahaha~" Ryan looked at the other end of the neat and clean stone street and sighed slightly: "It's because I have too many things... there are a lot of women, and I don't spend enough time with you. This is my fault."
"This is a common problem for excellent men, Ryan." Sulia shook her head: "The same is true for my father. When I get busy, I rarely have time to accompany my mother... but this is the hero in my heart."
After saying that, Suliya seemed to have thought of something, and she said repeatedly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Ryan, how do you arrange the next time?"
"Let's go to the von Lack family's mansion to see what clues are there." Ryan nodded, and he continued, "Then you arrange it, and by the way we can talk about what to do next."
"Now go to the mansion of the Lak family?" Suliya thought for a moment, and the female knight quickly agreed to her husband's point of view. She continued: "Then we can go to the famous cafe in Nuer. I also heard that there are activities in Nuer University in the evening? How about the dinner outside?"
"Of course, my dear, I will listen to you." Ryan nodded with a smile.
Without further ado, the two of them rode pure blood elf war horses directly towards the mansion of the Von Lak family.
The family's mansion is located on the edge of the Nurfu area. It is called a mansion, but in fact it is just a three-story building with a basement and a small garden house. There are only five rooms in the house, and the building structure is very narrow, with a floor area of only seventy or eighty square meters.
But such a small house is estimated to be worth 5,000 gold marks. Based on the income of an ordinary farmer of an empire, he would have to spend more than 300 years to save enough money to buy a house.
Ryan always has an illusion that it seems that it is the same everywhere?
After Baron Werner suffered a tragedy, the mansion was caught in a serious dispute. The two sons of the Von Lack family fought for the right of inheritance and have been appealed to the Nur Court and the City Council, and everyone is waiting for Emilia to make a decision.
Because of this, the door of the small house is currently locked and unattended. It is tall and painted in dark black. The ticket reads "Fon Lack No. 6 Ruben Street".
Turning over and dismounting. In February, Noor was still very cold. Ryan walked to his wife and carried her off, then knocked on the door: "Is anyone?"
"Dongdongdongdongdong~"
"Is anyone here?" Ryan knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
Sulia reached her hand to the sword of Lyonaesy on her waist, and she nodded to Ryan.
Ryan asked again, "Is anyone?"
After waiting for a minute, Ryan gave up, and he took out the door key he got from Emilia from him and opened it: "Disturbate!"
The small courtyard is only thirty or forty square meters in size, with some simple flowers and plants planted inside. Ryan and Sulia lead the pure blood elf war horse into the courtyard, and the high wall immediately blocked their sight.
There was a lot of snow in the courtyard, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
The couple stepped into the courtyard, and Sulia let her war Malicht go on the reins. The pure-blooded elf war horse was obviously very dissatisfied with the smallness of the courtyard. It snorted, shook its head, and expressed unhappiness to its owner using body language.
Similarly, the same is true for Ryan's mount grapes. It also raised its hooves to Ryan and pointed at the wall, indicating that you should push this wall for me, otherwise it would be difficult to take a walk.
Ryan had to use elf language and spiritual energy to communicate with Grape, signaling Mr. Grape to stay calm and feel sorry for your old man and your wife to stay here for a while. Let's go in and take a look.
That's right, the two horses of Ryan's war horse grape and Surya's war maricht have given birth to several pure-blooded elves.
After handing over the feed made of carrots, soybeans, black beans, peas, honey and corn, the two pure blood elves war horses calmed down. The grapes sniffed again and raised their hooves, signaling you to go and go back quickly, we will wait here.
"According to your algorithm, this courtyard costs one thousand gold marks, which is enough to buy a pure-blooded elf war horse in Brittany." Surya stood on the steps, and she had obviously thought of a lot: "I think the land price of this city is enough to buy half of Brittany."
"Ha, so why is the export of pure-blooded elves war horses prohibited?" Ryan let go of the reins, walked up the steps, took his wife's little hand, and said gently: "I believe you know very well that the land price is false and the real price is true. If it is really released, the Nurs can buy the entire Brittany pure-blooded elves war horses tomorrow, and then we only get a few useless land."
With Sulia's intelligence, she has deeply realized the impact behind the Nuer Highland Price.
This shock would be devastating to Brittania's estate economy and in-kind taxes.
"But why is the land price of Nuer so expensive?" The female knight was still puzzled by the land price of Nuer.
"What's hard to understand?" Ryan smiled: "The development of industry and commerce has formed agglomeration effect and central effect, and land prices naturally rise. The Chamber of Commerce and the Steel Guilds of Nuer have already reached various conditions with the local nobles and hoarded. Over time, land prices will naturally continue to rise. Whether it is Brunswick or Nuer, it is not only an important city that radiates the entire empire, but also receives resource support from the entire empire. Don't forget that the empire has military factories in these two cities."
"In addition, security is also a very important reason. Nur's army and city defense are too strong. Living here makes people feel safe, which is very important to the empire."
"Well, the citizens and nobles are also inconsistent with this. For the citizens and nobles with land, the increase in land prices is a benefit for them. These people occupy the vast majority of the real estate in Nur City. Therefore, even if there are some oppositions outside, they can't do anything about it. As for your little maid, she is the largest landlord in Nur, so naturally they will not object. The rise or at least not falling is what they like, and they will even use their power in their hands to prevent the land prices from falling." Suliya immediately figured it out, and the female knight shook her head helplessly: "I always think that your idea in Musilon is the same."
"You are so smart, my wife." Ryan held his wife's little hand and said with a smile: "At that time, I will be the biggest landlord in Musilon, and you are the landlord's wife, and Devin Hill is the little landlord."
"Who wants to give you the local master's wife? What an ugly title!" Sulia's face turned red, and she suddenly lowered her head and muttered to herself: "I used to think that I would be a countess and duchess in the future, but I didn't expect..."
"Isn't that good?" Ryan smiled and placed Sulia's little hand on his big hand, and said seriously: "You are worthy of the best in the world, my wife."
"Lian..." In the cold weather in February, Sulia looked at her husband affectionately, her face dyed red.
Until the grapes sniffed.
Mr. Grape hissed, raised his hooves and pointed, signaling you to go in, why are you standing at the door? We are waiting for you!
Both Ryan and his wife were a little embarrassed. Duke Musilon quickly reached out and pressed it on the door of the mansion. As the blue spiritual power penetrated the crack of the door, a sound of a spring came from behind the door, and the door opened.
A gust of hot wind came towards him, and Ryan and Sulia's faces changed immediately. Ryan held the Hammer of Thor with one hand, and Sulia's Leonardo's sword was immediately unsheathed. Platinum flames were burning on the sword body. The two of them carefully stepped into the mansion, without taking off their shoes, and just stepped in.
As mentioned earlier, this mansion is very narrow, with only the dining room and kitchen on the first floor, with good carpets on the floor. The decoration style adds many Nuer's steel and gunpowder elements compared to the antique flavor of Brunswick, including some cannon sculptures and golden griffin heraldic emblems.
"There are signs of excessive fire in the kitchen, but it's not something that happened recently." Ryan checked the kitchen. Because the windows were open, there was a thin layer of gray in the kitchen: "Strange, normally, even if Baron Werner and his men died in Brunswick, Noor's mansion would not be unmaintained? If this mansion is not inhabited, it will age very quickly."
"Is it the temporary cold treatment caused by the dispute over inheritance?" Suliyamai moved her long black stockings and inspected the restaurant. The female knight carefully observed the silver tableware and some red wine locked in the cabinet: "There should be no one here [Biqusa.vip] has come in. These are good red wines. If I were a thief, I would not let them go."
"If they don't know the goods?" Ryan carefully checked the interior of the restaurant. He heard Sulia's opinion, and he smiled casually: "Not every thief knows alcohol like my wife."
"But there is no reason for them not to take away the silver tableware." Sulia picked up a small silver spoon and shook it in front of Ryan: "This thing is easy to take off, and it can be collected everywhere, put it in the stove and recast it. No one can recognize the original owner."
"Hahaha, obviously, I was convinced by my wife." Ryan immediately said playfully, "Okay, let's go to the second floor to check it out."
The couple had no gains on the first floor, so they decided to go upstairs to take a look.
And when he walked carefully to the door of the second floor and saw the scene in front of him, both Ryan and Sulia frowned.
An elderly man in a butler's tuxedo had died at the door of the living room on the second floor, with a purple dagger inserted on his back.
"It seems we are late." Sulia immediately squatted down and checked the dead body: "He has been dead for several days, but the weather is cold and the flesh and blood are frozen, so no one noticed it."
Ryan also squatted down. He checked carefully and soon found something wrong: "Sulia, look, he is holding a corner of the scarf in his hand."
"Let me see." Pull the scarf out of the dead old housekeeper's hand, and Ryan gently opened the scarf.
There was a special pattern printed on the square scarf, with the green female Siren in the middle, surrounded by her two split tails, and there were some coffee stains on the square scarf.
"Is this...the pattern of the Banshee Siren?" Sulia looked at the pattern and fell into deep thought.
