Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 595 9.17 Nicholson Manor (2)

"After all, that happened 75 years ago."

"On the day of the battle, blood stained Horn Ridge red. 500 elite Crusaders took turns besieging them, and in the end, more than 200 lives were lost to kill 13 members of the Nicholson family."

"But the head of the family and his three sons are not on the death list!"

"After the battle, the Crusaders rushed into the house, but did not find the so-called 'basement' and the 200 living dead at all."

"After this incident, the surrounding residents began to spread rumors after dinner that this terrible dungeon was hidden by the Nicholson family using unknown evil magic."

"As the Crusaders surrounded Nicholson House, the ancient gods they worshiped smelled the scent of mortals."

"In order to continue to survive, he hid himself and the three men of the Nicholson family! In a void space, he lived by eating the living dead."

"The day when all the living dead are eaten, he will reappear under this house and continue to harm the world."

**

The changes in environment for mortals are obvious.

When he said the last few words, Belikov's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth even began to tremble slightly.

Tang Qianye smoked calmly and shook his head involuntarily. I really don’t know if the brave Slavic king would tear his former tribe to pieces when he saw his former tribe turned into such a bear.

After completing the mission from Black Desert, Heath Branch dies and Greenbrow dies.

The original team of 4 people now only has Xue Fei and Tang Qianye. Although Tang Qianye is not good at fighting, he has led the team to deal with various different forces for a long time, and he has at least twenty little-known special skills.

The art of hypnosis is one of them.

The old butler was certain that if he had not secretly blown the anesthetic smoke from his mouth into the Sheriff's nose, he would never have said these words.

After knowing the background of this house, the old housekeeper couldn't help but admire the right minister's methods even more.

A down-and-out nobleman was deceived by his fellow villagers after living in a foreign land. After paying his remaining silver coins, he got an old house that "seemed magnificent" but actually hid a huge crisis.

Concubine Xue didn't need to say a word or do anything. A slightly stupid young down-and-out nobleman was already tied to her identity.

This is the most important thing for a lurker.

Secondly, the right minister found a haunted house that no one dared to approach, so that he could deliberately avoid the overly enthusiastic Roman citizens around him.

This is also a huge help for them to lurk safely.

The more important point is that this manor is not cheap.

Purchase of the manor "Li Xueyi" has given everything.

If they want to move away from here, they must go out to make money, which gives them a "work motivation" to go out to work every day.

Otherwise, it would be quite strange for an Eastern Continent noble who owns a manor to go out on business every day.

"What I am sure of is that you were deceived by your fellow villagers!"

"It's not too late to stop before you're fully settled in."

Belikov took two steps closer at the right time and spoke in Tang Qianye's ear.

"This property is worth 70,000 gold coins. If you refund, the tax official will only charge 30% of the tax. You can still get more than 50,000 gold coins!"

"Brother, I see you are not young anymore."

"Listen to my advice and tell your mistress. Use this money to buy a decent mansion in the city. You can also live in it very well!"

"Maybe that terrifying god will wake up one day, and he will be dead by then. Do you still have such a small amount of tax left?!"

The hypnosis of the anesthetic smoke will make people express their truest thoughts, and the words of the tribune did not go beyond what Tang Qianye was thinking.

First of all, he is a kind man.

Knowing that the three houses in front of him were not safe, he did not want to watch the Donglu lady step into the fire pit.

Of course, the tribunes also have small thoughts that belong to businessmen.

In this society where everyone works hard for gold coins, Tang Qianye is almost certain that his status as a "tribune" will definitely benefit from this tax.

It doesn't take much, just a few hundred gold coins is a huge amount of wealth that ordinary Roman farmers cannot obtain in three lifetimes.

If it weren't for these hundreds of gold coins, he would never have gotten close to such a dangerous mansion.

**

After continuing to exchange a few words, Belikov's courtesy "visit" was considered to have achieved its purpose.

Concubine Xue didn't speak Latin proficiently, so she could only express her gratitude politely. Tang Qianye escorted him all the way to the rusty gate, watching him and the guards get on their horses and run away wildly.

What followed was a two-day cleanup.

There is no way to move into a gloomy old house that has not had a living person in it for more than seventy years.

Concubine Xue did not believe the strange legends told by the tribune.

On the way into the Black Desert, she listened to several bachelors working tirelessly to popularize rumors about the Outer Gods and Ancient Gods for everyone every day. The most striking feature was that they did not like to live in crowded places.

According to the research of the bachelors, almost all of the existing alien gods live in the outer corners of the world. If there is an "evil god" who chooses to live in the overcrowded Constantinople.

Then this evil god is most likely crazy.

The city walls of Constantinople were divided into 13 urban areas. Among all the urban areas, "Jiaoling", which had a population of less than 10,000 people, had more than 100 large and small manor houses.

This is undoubtedly the property of wealthy merchants, parliamentarians, and nobles.

And this group of people does not need to work.

Most of them make a living by collecting rent from their fields and dividing their caravans.

He sleeps until noon every day, and his only "job" after getting dressed is to drink tea with other nobles, walk the dog, and admire polo swordsmanship.

Use this time to exchange meaningless anecdotes.

One can imagine what a story that has been circulating in aristocratic circles for more than seventy years will look like in the end.

Maybe this was just an ordinary criminal case back then, and the drunken nobles passed it on word of mouth, and eventually it turned into what it is now.

As a human who had killed the leader of the Illuminati, and now received a magical weapon from the Right Prime Minister Li Chunfeng, Concubine Xue walked around the three residences with brisk steps.

Except for a storehouse with oats stacked under the stable, the other two houses only have an underground wine cellar in addition to their foundations.

Dots of dried blood can occasionally be seen on the mottled feldspar, indicating that battles did take place here decades ago.

This is the only evidence that can be found.

As for the rest, they were all regarded as nonsense by Concubine Xue.

The porters and laborers were busy for two whole days.

During these two days, they removed all the bird's nests and squirrel nests in the house. While hunting rats, several old men pulled out a black snake nearly one meter long from a crack in the wall.

The three residences cover an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, with a total of nearly 50 houses of various sizes.

The handymen worked around the clock for two whole days before clearing away the dead branches, dead leaves and decayed dust that had accumulated for more than 70 years.

On the third day, the house that had been abandoned for a long time finally regained some of its original style.

It is not difficult to see that the former head of the household, the "Nicholson family", had quite good taste. The house was designed to face north and south, and the lighting was very particular. After clearing away the climbing green vines and moss on the walls, the exquisite stone sculptures on the exterior of the house were revealed.

Judging from the details, it can be seen that it was written by a famous artist.

The most surprising thing is that the "drainage system" hidden under the eaves is still available. If it rains heavily, the rainwater will flow into the copper pipe, flow out from the stone beast's mouth, and irrigate the flower field on the side of the house.

The pool landscape in the center of the manor also begins to give the entire house a luxurious feel after being injected with enough water.

The change occurred on the last day.

When Tang Qianye found several people with several contracts that could be described as "generous benefits", he asked them if they were willing to continue working in the "Nicholson Family Residence".

The porters and laborers looked at each other, and everyone shook their heads.

They only took away the reward for their hard work for the past few days, and then left quickly without looking back.
