Lord of Secrets - Chapter 108 107. Lourdes
It was still very early before 6 o’clock. Ubermo left the Big Wolf Tavern first and planned to take a stroll in Guiji Town.
The whole town is not too big, and the houses are a little shabby compared to Lierli. There are all kinds of people coming and going, including some vendors carrying things, thieves stealing on the street, many people wearing cloaks…
If this were in Vimofrei, wearing a cloak would be more conspicuous… Looking at the residents’ expressions of not being surprised by this, he muttered.
Overall, the town of Guiji felt to him like it was a hundred years ago. There were not so many rules. The women were even playing shirtless. Although they were poor, they were very happy.
Back at the Great Wolf Tavern, it was almost 6 o’clock in the evening, and the waiter knocked on his door.
After Ubermo opened it, he motioned for him to sit on the chair. The waiter bent down and nodded, then sat down and said with a mellow voice: “Sir, Demasi Manor is located on the outskirts of Guiji Town. It was originally It belonged to a baron, but he sold the manor five years ago due to bankruptcy. “
The waiter did not hesitate, nor did he ask Ubermo why he wanted to know the information about the manor. He directly told him about the situation of Demaxi Manor.
“To whom?” Ubermo asked.
“A businessman who sells timber, his name is Lauder!” the waiter replied.
“But there are rumors that he has recently gone bankrupt and intends to sell the estate. People are lamenting that the estate is cursed.”
Ubermo asked: “Why do you say that?”
“Because starting from my father’s generation, the owner of this manor has ended up bankrupt every time, and most of the time it’s been 5 years!”
The waiter was about 27 years old. His father’s generation was about 30 years ago. The manor should have changed five or six owners so far. Lake didn’t know who was serving… Ubermore listened quietly. his words.
The waiter continued: “So, we locals all know that the manor is cursed. This news is not a secret to outsiders. If you ask casually, someone will tell you. But every time, there are outsiders who buy the manor.” manor.”
There are always people who don’t believe in evil… Umberto continued to ask: “Then do you know why there is such a curse?”
At this time, the waiter’s voice became deeper and he said: “According to rumors, it is related to the mysterious disappearance of the last descendant of the Yegard family 32 years ago. Some people say that Count Raphael turned into an undead after his death and wanted to punish those who invaded him. Home people.”
Raphael Jagard…Ubermo frowned upon hearing this.
The Yegard family is also famous. In the war of justice hundreds of years ago, Yuri called himself the “War of Resistance” and caused considerable losses to Felosa.
If it weren’t for the various involvements of Creed Emperor, Renne, and other countries in the Southern Continent, things wouldn’t be like this now.
Therefore, the wraith that Lake met was most likely that Raphael… Ubermore guessed.
“Then why was this manor sold at that time?” He continued to ask.
“Sir, I’m not sure whether this is true or not, but according to people of my father’s generation, after Raphael disappeared, the entire manor and villa disappeared, but a lot of blood was left behind.”
“But Raphael had no heirs or other relatives. In the end, the manor was abandoned for several years. Due to the financial crisis of Guiji Town, the mayor decided to sell the manor.”
After thinking for a while, Ubermo then handed the other party 1 Bailey again, and then said: “Thank you for informing me!”
The waiter nodded gratefully and excused himself.
Ubermo was very interested in this manor. It was the Yegard family’s manor, and he didn’t know how many things were preserved in it.
But Ubermore is not optimistic about this. After all, manors are resold after bankruptcy, and the resaleable items must have been sold before bankruptcy.
But there may be some dark rooms that have not been discovered. If there are some books and belongings of the Begarde family in them, it would be worth buying the manor by Ubermo.
Furthermore, there are the remains of Baigarth.
It would be a shame not to buy this.
As for the so-called curse, it may have been caused by the resentful spirit in the ruins, but this also shows that he is greatly restricted.
There is nothing wrong with being careful. Furthermore, the extraordinary people of the “Blazing Sun” path like this kind of resentful spirit best. Just burn it and it will make a “sizzling” sound, like a barbecue.
Thinking of this scene, Ubermo shook his body slightly.
After coming out of the room, Ubermore realized that he had forgotten to ask him where Demasi Manor was.
He stopped a carriage outside and immediately said, “Send me to Demasi Manor!”
The coachman thought for a moment and said, “Okay, sir!”
In more than ten minutes, the coachman took him outside the Demasi Manor in the suburbs. After Ubermo paid the money, the other party hurriedly left.
In addition to the owner’s residence, Demasi Manor also has a living area for serfs and a church. In addition, there are warehouses, mills, oil mills, iron workshops and bakeries.
The Kingdom of Yuri has not abolished some serfdom policies. Although the current manor owners are not nobles, they also have their ownership rights.
The main reason is that the Yuri Kingdom itself is in a state of chaos. The town mayor has some rights, and the Yuri royal family has low control. They are now similar to a small lord.
Of course, if there are nobles, they are usually in control. After all, they maintain a group of guards.
It’s just that this place is close to the Lier calendar, and it still abides by Yuri’s laws.
In addition, the church here belongs to the Death God Church, but it is only a spontaneous construction of the belief in the Death God. It is different from the Orthodox Church such as the Huiyao Church, which has control over its affiliated churches.
This is similar to people placing statues of evil gods and sacred symbols of gods in their homes.
Regarding Ubermore’s intrusion, the working serfs promptly informed the guards.
In about a minute, the guard came to Ubermo at a fast pace.
Ubermore looked at these guards who were casually wearing rusty armor, holding spears, and without any order and said: “Take me to see the owner here. I want to discuss the matter of this manor with him!”
The leading guard glanced at Ubermore, winked at the person next to him, and then said: “Please follow me!”
One of the guards immediately left first.
And Ubermore slowly followed them to Lauder’s residence.
Seven or eight minutes later, Ubermore arrived in front of the luxurious castle. Although it had been renovated, it still had a sense of age.
A middle-aged gentleman wearing a black tuxedo and white gloves stood at the door. He looked at Ubermo and bowed slightly and said: “I am the butler of Demasi Manor, my name is Benajo. My master is already waiting in the living room. You!”
Ubermore nodded and said, “I know!”
Following the butler through the huge wooden door and walking through the spacious corridor, the original decorations on both sides were gone.
There were not even stone statues or oil paintings. The other party was almost bankrupt when they arrived… Muttering in his heart, Ubermo came to the living room.
Sitting in the front seat was a somewhat thin middle-aged man who was a little tired, but seemed to be a little happy about Ubermo’s arrival.
He observed Ubermore’s clothes and quickly stepped forward and said, “I am the owner of this manor, Lord!”
After introducing himself, he then said: “Sir, what do you want to discuss with me?”
Although he said this, Ubermo could see that he was still looking forward to it, expecting Ubermo to say the words in his mind.
Ubermore said directly: “I heard that you are selling this manor, so come and take a look!”
Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in Laalder’s eyes, but he still maintained a calm expression, and then said: “Sir, you are right, I plan to go to Xisong, so I can only bear the pain and leave this place with me.” The estate I have owned for many years is for sale.”
Businessman… Ubermo complained in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: “I don’t want to say anything else, I have taken a liking to this manor. And I have heard those rumors, but I want to take a look. See if the legendary undead exist.”
“So, you make an offer! If it’s suitable, I’ll buy it. If it’s not suitable, I’ll look for something else. There should be a lot of haunted houses.”
Lauder glanced at Ubermore and then said: “Sir, I spent 6,000 beli to purchase this manor.”
6,000 beli is not too expensive… Ubermo feels that this price is not too expensive.
Although the Yegard family is ruined, the manor of Raphael, who is a direct descendant of the Yegard family, should not be worth this price regardless of its historical value or other reasons. He thought it might be related to the financial crisis in Guiji Town at that time, so he sold the manor at a low price. Then there were rumors of a curse. The manor changed hands several times, and the price continued to drop.
“Since sir, you also know that rumor, I won’t lie to you, 5,500 berries!” Lauder said calmly.
“5,500 beri is my bottom line, otherwise I can look for other outsiders. They will always want to buy this manor just like me. After all, this is the former manor of Count Raphael.”
Speaking of this, his tone became slightly tougher.
After all, he is also a businessman and knows how to maximize his own interests, although the bottom line may be lower because he is on the verge of bankruptcy.
After a moment of silence, Ubermore said: “To be honest, I can spend dozens of beli to spread various rumors among the people here and let all outsiders know.”
“Even if there are people who don’t believe the rumors, or who hear the rumors and want to buy the estate.”
After a pause, Ubermore said calmly: “But how long can you hold on, Mr. Lauder? Maybe one day later, maybe one month later.”
As Ubermore spoke one sentence after another, Lauder’s expression turned dark. This touched upon his pain point. As long as he stayed here for a second longer, banknotes kept disappearing from his pocket.
Even if he moved out, it would be useless. As long as the manor belonged to him, he could not escape that bad luck. He could only sell the manor.
Suddenly, Ubermo said: “But I don’t bother to do this. We only need 5,000 beli, and we can trade. After all, you don’t have too much debt yet. This money is enough for you to accumulate wealth again.”
