Chapter 484 Theodora and Castle Joan Hospital
Her fingers brushed against the patina-stained wall and she felt the rough texture. Theodora withdrew her hand, thinking it was moss.
The rain outside the house rushed against the eaves, swaying the wind chimes of this townhouse.
Looking at the greasy fireplace, Theodora lifted up her skirt in disgust and jumped over the missing corner of the floor.
She pulled up the blinds made of wood chips, and outside the window were the somewhat deserted flowerbeds and courtyards.
A little further away, you can see the tower of the Joan of Arc Hospital.
According to the nuns, it was a ward for patients with infectious diseases.
The hospital asked them to isolate themselves from the outside world as much as possible, and they were allowed to leave only after they recovered.
Standing at the door, a man dressed as a butler was arguing fiercely with a middle-aged housing agent.
“The minimum rent is three months, this is my bottom line.”
"Perhaps we can leave in a month, or you can lower the price."
"Is 60 dinars a month expensive for such a good house?"
"If we didn't have women, Who would take a fancy to your corner house?”
Theodora and his party have been in Langsand County for more than a month for treatment.
After living in a low-rise hotel for such a long time and recovering from two serious illnesses in a row, she naturally wanted to live in an open and airy house.
It's just that when these two people quarreled, it was really noisy.
Theodora frowned, and her veil was swayed by the breeze inside, revealing her delicate and small chin: "Bonato, tell Mornstein, let him ask... Are there any other commercial properties?”
“Yes, Miss Theodora.”
Theodora’s message was quickly conveyed to Mornstein. and agent's ears.
He shook his head regretfully: "You are not on the Papal State's household register, so you cannot buy property locally, you can only rent it."
Mornstein pointed at Bonato beside him: "Is it too late for us to naturalize now? For example, let this companion naturalize first."
"Sorry, you have to submit an application first and then work locally. You can become a naturalized citizen if you don't have any criminal records for one year." The housing agent pushed the felt hat on his head and said regretfully, "I'm afraid it's too late now."
Commission fee for selling a house. , much more than renting out a house.
It’s a pity that they probably won’t be able to buy it at the moment.
“We don’t want to become local citizens, we just want to buy a house locally. With your household registration system, what businessmen are willing to come here to open a chamber of commerce?” Bonato glared dissatisfied. Eye.
"Sorry, we have our own national conditions here and there is nothing we can do." The housing agent shrugged.
"Can it be done within a month? For example, replacing someone else, or changing a few words in the household register?" Mornstein walked forward slowly and quietly stuffed a few Sola gold coins into the house. Agent's pocket.
The agent was stunned. He reached into his pocket and dug twice. His eyes changed.
He coughed, reluctantly took out the gold coin, turned and handed it to Mornstein: "I am just a small housing agent. The Salvation Army is different from the past. How can I operate the household register? Ability."
Mornstein smiled and pushed the gold coin back: "Our lady will not get her money back if she gives it away, just take it...
Can you think of another solution? Give us some advice without violating your noble conscience. "
Looking at the golden coins, the agent hesitated for a few seconds: "There are indeed special channels for adding household registration. For people with this authority, it only takes one sentence.
You must be wealthy businessmen. If you buy enough jihad bonds to show your financial strength, I think I can find an elder to receive you.
You just need to say that you want to buy a property locally, and it will be much more convenient then.
As for whether you want to buy property or not, to be honest, no one will dare to use force to urge you.
The most they can do is visit every few months, wait a while, and then sell the bonds at a slightly lower price, which doesn't cost much. "
Mornstein looked at Theodora behind him. Theodora thought for a moment and then nodded and then shook his head.
He understood immediately and turned to the agent The person said: "Then let's rent this house first, and we'll discuss the rest later. "
"Okay. The agent touched the gold pound in his pocket and said, "I'm on vacation tomorrow and can take you to the Saint Lady Bank."
As for this house now, if you don’t mind it being a little dirty, you can move in and sign a contract now for 50 dinars a month. ”
"Then sign it now and rent it for a month first." Mornstein took the housing agent to the house next door to sign the contract. Theodora lifted the veil on her hat and began to look around the house. .
There is a reason why she is trying to buy a property or a business.
After experiencing the Chief Hospital of Fort Joan of Arc, Theodora was ready to stay here until the war was over and the road was clear.
I am also idle, so I can take out my hidden money and try my hand at buying some small property locally.
If Thousand River Valley is really independent from the Kingdom of Laia in the future, it would not be a bad idea to establish the Krabby Patty family's business base here in advance.
During this period, Castle Joan of Arc left too many deep impressions on Theodora.
Not only are there hard roads, an orderly rural system and good public security, but there is also a fairly free and open atmosphere.
In a building that looks like a monastery, there is actually a black market witch doctor practicing medicine openly.
The black market witch doctors here are surprisingly skilled, better than normal black market witch doctors.
Theodora not only cured her previous parasitic disease, but also cured her back sores over the years.
The back sore was caused by Theodora's father accidentally shooting his daughter while hunting. Later, due to various reasons such as infection, it became a chronic disease.
You know, even priest-level monks can't cure Theodora's back sores.
Theodora's father found the so-called "Miracle Doctor of Cod Castle" to cure him.
The other party said that he needed to drink the sleeping potion first, then use a sharp ax to cut open the back, and then take out the damaged spine so that he could sit back and relax.
Theodora's father immediately ordered the son of the "famous doctor" to be called over and asked him to demonstrate it first. If he succeeded, he would do it to Theodora.
What followed was that the son’s back was chopped open with an axe, and the father’s head was chopped open with an axe.
She wanted to live with the disease. When she arrived here, when she was treating the parasitic disease, the witch doctors discovered the sores on her back.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Theodora asked them if they could cure it.
As a result, these witch doctors told her that they had seen this disease many times on the battlefield, and it could definitely be cured but it would be expensive.
This problem is naturally not a problem for Theodora.
The Chief Hospital of Fort Joan of Arc dispatched four miracle priests, constantly using frost magic, hypnosis and scorching rays.
The three witch doctors worked together to remove the rotten flesh from Theodora's back.
Then they gave Theodora an alchemical potion and invited a monk to use divine magic to heal and repair her injuries.
The use of divine blessing and witchcraft in the same room did not cause angels and devils to fight, but the effect was surprisingly good.
In just one month, she was able to get out of bed and walk around with a cane.
Although there was an ugly scar on her back and she was suspected of blaspheming the Holy Lord, she was finally able to lie down and sleep!
For the price of 35 gold pounds, what kind of carriage do you need?
35 gold pounds may be the total salary of a laborer for five years. For a noble like Theodora, it is only two months of pocket money.
Compared to the price of hundreds of gold pounds for a visit to Castle Cod Church, it is extremely cheap.
You must know that there are countless number of Norn nobles who are ill and difficult to cure.
Most of them can only go to the church to use magic, which can only restore the pain to its original state without curing the root cause. It can even relieve the pain and sometimes aggravate the condition.
Many nobles donate to the church. In addition to their own political stance and beliefs, they also pay for the church's medical expenses.
It’s really hard to see Theodora’s attitude like the Salvation Army Hospital’s one-time treatment and fear of your second visit.
I just don’t know, can these witch doctors and miracle priests work miracles on my father’s migraines?
"Priest Miracle...Alchemy Potion..." Reaching out to turn over the picture frame on the wall, Theodora blew away the dust, revealing a portrait of a knight, the former owner of the house, "Interesting..."
< br>"Miss Theodora, the notary has signed the contract." Mornstein put his right hand on his chest and saluted Theodora, "Shall we go to the bank next?"
"Why bother looking far away when you are close?" Theodora put down her veil, "Mr. Halkin introduced us to the hospital, and we haven't even visited him to thank him."
