Chapter 29: A house?

Viktor and Adonis went outside to try new seafood in the market street. It was super crowded and the sidewalks were full of street food stalls. It was a very lively city.

The city Viktor is currently staying in is called Brinein port. Is it the only city that has a port. It's a huge marketplace for all the people who come to do business with the Vestrain kingdom.

So it was normal to be this crowded.

There are only 10 days left till the application deadline. About 90 percent of students have already applied for the exam. They are all studying back in their room and I am roaming around with an octopus fry with Adonis.

'Master! What is that?"

Adonis pointed at a small shop.

"Oh, it's called an oyster. I don't enjoy its taste."

"I see."

-He's curious about everything. Even a small fish is making him excited. I want to feed him everything I can.

Both of them went to every corner of the city to buy so many things that Adonis saw. At the end of the night, Viktor spent 100 gold on him. But he was satisfied because Adonis needed to know about the human world. Because from today, he's going to live like a human with real humans.

It's already morning. I need to go and apply for the exam.

"Adonis, we're going to the Academy to fill up my form."

"The school you talked about master?"

"Yes. It's a school that I want to enrol in."

"Then it must be a very good school. I wish you, good luck master."

I observed his moments and behaviours from last night. And I understand that he's good at following instructions, a good listener, a quick learner and he has excellent conversational skills that I don't. He's good at everything. I guess he can be a good partner of mine.

The sun rose and both of them went to the Academy to apply for the exam. Viktor was surprised that it didn't even cost a single penny. The whole school provides the students with free academic classes. Even the certificate doesn't cost a silver.

"Adonis, let's go to the guild. I need to buy land or a house to stay here for 5 years. I can't pay the hotel bill forever."

"You can buy a house master?"

"Yes, I can. But I need to check if there's any reasonable house that I can afford. I have only 2000 gold. "

In the Omega kingdom, I saw a shady shop. So I went inside and saw people selling so many things they found in the mountains. Even one of them sold a vial full of some kind of potion in 100 gold.

So an idea came into my head and I sold a medium-grade potion for two thousand gold coins. The buyer's face was priceless.

It was a risky business but I was about to leave the kingdom back then. So I sold only one and earned that money.

I didn't know my potions would be that expensive. That damn old man cheated on me. I'll never sell any potions to him. Moreover, that was a high-grade potion.

I can feel my thousand gold coins kissing me goodbye -_-.

Viktor went to the guild and saw it was crowded as ever.

He went to the receptionist and asked,

"Excuse me miss. Can you tell me where I can buy land near the city mountains?"

The lady looked up and she was already charmed by Adonis. Viktor was invisible to her already.

"Oh! Young man. You want to buy a land?"

"Ahem... It's me who's asking for a land miss."

"Oh! Sorry, I didn't see you there young boy. You wanted to buy a land right? Is there any problem if the land has a house on it?"

"That will be great. Can you tell me the price, please? I want to check if I have that much money with me or not."

"The city building cost 3 thousand gold with 2% tax per year. And near the mountains land with a house cost 1 thousand gold. And the tax is 3 gold. If you want to buy a villa near the sea which belonged to a noble house 2 months ago it will cost a little more."

"How much?"

"It's 2500 gold."

Viktor was looking at the pictures of the house and it was marvellous. But he was getting a feeling that the woman was lying. Also, Adonis was furious when she talked about the price.

Suddenly, a man came in and kicked the woman out of the room because he thought she was going to lose customers.

"I am sorry customers, was she bothering you with anything? If she was then I am very sorry. "

"No, no, everything was fine."

"I am going to recap everything from the beginning. The house you're looking into, that house is 1000 gold. It is a noble house which has been abandoned for 2 years. And it's a very old house. I can give you a discount if you buy it right now. As you can see our real estate's inner maintenance situation is not very good. We are short on money. So we are selling out houses at 10% off. "

I knew that woman was a scammer.

"Do I need to fix the house inside?"

Viktor asked.

"No, it's perfect for living. But I don't know if you'll like it or not."

"I'm not a noble so don't worry. I am not used to living a luxurious life. So I think I can manage it. 1000 gold right? I can pay it right now."

"Really!! I will prepare the papers."

He left the room running and Viktor took a sip from his teacup. He was worried that the house was too close to the sea but he wanted to fight back. He wanted to overcome his phobias, so he chose the house which was close to the water.

-I am really an a**.

"Master, from this drawing of the house you're buying, it's a house. What are you going to do with 13 rooms?" n--o).v/)e-/1)-b/(I--n

"Don't know..."

-One day, those rooms will be filled with so many people.
