Chapter 36 Opera House
Uncle Gergill stayed to continue discussing the divorce, while sisters Kingsley and Iwinnie accompanied Karl to see the house.
This is a two-story house built of a mixture of brick and wood.
The walls are specially reinforced, the doors are mostly round arches, and the design of flying beams makes the house more light and delicate.
The accommodation upstairs and the reception downstairs are divided into seven rooms. Each room is very spacious, even the bedroom.
The kitchen and dining room are located close to the entrance to facilitate the preparation and distribution of food and drinks.
The living room is located in the center of the house.
In addition to the bedroom, there is a cloakroom upstairs, which can be converted into a small chapel or laboratory.
There is also a bathroom, which is divided into two parts: the outside for washing and the inside for using the toilet. It is separated by a folding door in the middle.
Overall, the layout of this house is reasonable, but it lacks popularity and the furniture is not complete, making it feel very desolate. After all, no one has lived in it for a long time.
In addition,
Wooden houses also have disadvantages.
Due to the age of the building and gnawing by insects and ants, many wooden piles have rotted. If you want to live in it formally, you need to spend some time repairing it. This cost is not small, and it also seriously affects the price of its sale.
"There is also a storage room underground. Due to design issues, the ventilation is not good. Remember to ventilate it before entering."
Kingsley took Carl around:
"How's it going?"
"Very good."
Karl nodded:
"I'm very satisfied."
Compared with the house, he was more I am satisfied with this small courtyard of more than 100 square meters. I can rest in the courtyard at any time.
Every time he came back from the gloomy Black City, what he wanted to do most was to bask in the sun.
And a separate courtyard is also convenient for transporting goods.
As for other flaws, it doesn't matter to him. As a wizard's apprentice, there are many ways to solve them.
"As long as you are satisfied."
Kingsley smiled:
"Then let's sign a contract. Forty gold coins. I didn't expect you to have such a large inheritance."
Inheritance!
Karl’s explanation for his wealth was that his grandfather left a legacy specifically at Mountbatten Bank.
As for whether others believe it or not...
Believe it or not.
"After buying a house, I am penniless." Karl pretended to sigh:
"Pay ten gold coins first and pay off the rest within a month."
"No problem." Kingsley waved his hand:
"You are my cousin, I still have this trust."
She looked very happy, after all, forty gold coins are far away More than this house should be worth.
As for the sadness of divorce...
She will only be glad that she has regained her freedom and is eager to be freed from her marriage.
“Ewinnie.”
After signing the contract, just as the two women were about to board the carriage and leave, Karl remembered something and extended an invitation to Ewinnie:
"Do you have time tonight? A friend of mine will perform on stage at the Wim Opera House today. Do you want to go with me?"
"Ah!"
Ewinnie looked ecstatic at first, then looked at Kingsley, thought for a while and then shook her head gently with regret on her face:
"I want to accompany my sister."< br>
My sister is divorced and has a lot of things to deal with at home. Even if she doesn’t need her help, she can’t play by herself.
“Yes.” Karl expressed understanding:
"Then let's get together when we have time."

"Pancakes! Pancakes for a penny!"
"Fish and chips, sugar-coated fruits, sold cheaply..."
"..."
In front of the Wim Opera House, the stalls crowded the road, and the cries of hawkers kept coming and going. .
Those who maintained order in the theater had to yell and push before they could barely clear a passage.
Getting off the carriage, Karl followed the flow of people and headed towards the ticket entrance, when he was suddenly pulled by his sleeve.
"Karl!"
"Yes." Karl turned around with a surprised look on his face:
"Sir Dinah, what...are you dressed like?"
Being a sand man The eldest daughter of Viscount Xun, Dinah is not short of money, and her clothes are naturally exquisite and gorgeous.
Today is different. The tunic made of linen is dull and patched, the cloth boots under his feet are stained with dirt, and the turban is even more rudimentary.
The beautiful facial features are also covered by plaster. At first glance, they are no different from those lower-class women on the street.
No wonder Karl failed to recognize him for a while, but this dress was obviously intentional.
Suddenly said:
“Are you conducting an investigation?”
In recent days, Dinah has rarely appeared in the inspection hall. It is said that she is fully investigating the mummy case.
Unfortunately it is not very supported.
The people in the inspection office all come from wealthy families and have no shortage of food and drink. How many of them are willing to take risks?
“Yeah.”
Dina’s face was expressionless:
"You should have concert tickets with you. I'll pay double the price and sell them to me. I have something to go in."
"Sir." Karl shook his head:
"Concert requirements You are neatly dressed. With your current attire, even if you have tickets, you may not be able to get in."
He took out two tickets and gestured:
"Let's go! ”
Dinah raised her eyebrows, then hummed softly, raised her hand to wipe her face, took off her headscarf and let her long hair spread.
After her simple treatment, although his clothes were still shabby, his whole temperament had changed.
Especially the radiance of the delicate facial features, completely covering up the others.
Stepping forward, Dinah took Karl's arm, tilted her body to get closer to each other, and walked side by side, looking like a loving couple.
"You two, please come in."
The ticket inspector checked the tickets, looked at Dinah for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to guide her.
It is not uncommon for rich people to bring mistresses to high-end places, and the quality of this mistress is also very high.
Even though men are a bit stingy, they don’t even buy decent clothes when they come to the theater.
The strange sight did not move Dinah. After entering the theater, she immediately let go and opened the distance between the two, which made Karl, who was immersed in the soft experience, a little regretful.
“Thank you this time, I’ll treat you to a drink when I get the chance.”
After saying polite words, without waiting for Karl to answer, Dinah slipped into the crowd and disappeared.
…………
Everyone in the Barrow Concert Group performed hard, and the singers’ voices were clear, translucent, and highly penetrating.
The music surges like a tidal wave, and every note seems to have life, jumping and spinning in the air, hitting people's hearts directly.
But even with such a wonderful performance, there are still people who are distracted.
A corner of the theater.
“Three gold coins?”
A beautiful woman exclaimed in a low voice:
“Why has the price increased again?”
“ There is a shortage of goods and it is not normal for prices to rise." A man in a robe snorted and said slowly:
"Of course, you don't have to buy it."
"Three gold coins are really too expensive." The woman looked embarrassed:
"I have spent nearly fifty on you. A gold coin, can it be cheaper this time?”
“I said...” the man said indifferently:
“You don’t have to buy it”
?
The woman's expression changed, she struggled, and finally sighed helplessly:
"I will buy it."
As she said that, she took out her exquisite wallet and took out a coin. The gold coins and twenty gold pounds were handed over.
“Is the goods correct?”
"When did you miss it?" The man borrowed money, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he handed over a porcelain bottle:
"It's still the same, three drops at a time, once a week."
"Da!"
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and held the porcelain bottle.
Dina’s figure emerges:
"So, this is the so-called purity potion?"
"You..." The man's expression changed, and then he jumped out as if there were springs under his feet.
“Want to escape?”
Dina snorted coldly:
“Can you escape?”
