Chapter 51

The bell tower of St. Hilde's Cathedral has a dull knock of twelve.

The calendar has turned another day, and now it is August 19, 1379.

Port Tulun, No. 47 palm street, is a luxurious single building with white walls, red tiles and ostentatious external relief decoration. In addition to the neat palm trees in the yard, the living environment is quite good.

"Even the recently popular opera star can't afford to buy a house here." How much money did Jonah stand at the door of the house, so she whispered

Palm Tree Street is a new rich area in port Tulun. The starting price of a single family house here is above 100000 gold marks.

The witus family had a certain stake in the old theater destroyed by the shelling, as well as in the new theater today. He knew what a popular actor was worth. Miss Verona, the latest pop opera star, has a total legal income of about 3000 to 5000 gold marks a year.

Compared with ordinary people, this is an astronomical income.

It's just that compared to the house prices here

The tooth followed Joe, and he coughed: "young master, Miss Verona, you can choose to rent this house."

Spread out his hands and grinned, "the average rent of a house near Palm street is about 5000 gold marks a year. The annual rate of return is 5%, which is very ordinary, but it is constant and long-term."

Joe froze and shrugged: "Wow, of course, you can rent. But I rarely have this concept. I always buy anything I like directly

His lips moved and Joe puffed out a puff of smoke.

Five thousand gold marks, no doubt, this is also an unbearable price for ordinary people. Therefore, the residents of palm tree Street are either new rich merchants with successful business or artists with noble support behind them.

Opera, ballet, poet, painter, composer, pianist

Many well-known art celebrities in port Tulun live here. Palm tree street, the most artistic street in port Tulun, is not only because it is adjacent to the new opera house.

Standing a little farther away, he was very careful to hide his body in the shadow of the trees at any time. Mr. gengs gave a light cough:

"how could a ignorant young woman, once she became famous, become popular, vain and enjoy herself, especially if she wanted to maintain the ostentation of her peers, how could she refuse a luxury house that was too extravagant and wasteful for her? So, she should have rented the house with all her annual income. "

With a sigh, Mr. sgens murmured:

"naturally, there is a tight money bag, and personal finance for a set of high-end cosmetics is in short supply. Damned nobles, they know seductive depravity, they will certainly take advantage of it. Miss Verona, has degenerated into Anand's lover? Do you believe that they are true love? "

Shaking his head, Spence muttered in disgust, "no, how can it be love? He is old enough to be her father

"A shameful deal, a shameless deal Great mu, look, look, this is the nobles of the kingdom of St. HIA. This is, as the saying goes, the true face of your most devout believers! "

Joe felt in his heart how much resentment Mr. Skinner felt.

However, it can be seen how popular this miss Verona has recently become in port Toulon. Even Mr. sgens has become a loyal fan of her.

The face shopkeeper quietly pushed open the complicated and exquisite back door made of bronze carving, and waved to Qiao.

Joe entered the house, surrounded by teeth, Spence, and a group of guards.

In the kennel next to the back door, two large boxed lions collapsed, their long tongues drooping out of their mouths, snoring in a low voice. In the small room next to the kennel, a man servant on duty at night is also in a coma.

Along the path between the palm trees, all the way into the small building in the middle of the yard, the whole house was quiet, no sound came out. There were heavy snores coming out of the servants' rooms, and all the servants and maids were dead.

"Well done, grimace shopkeeper!" "It's a good thing for everyone, especially miss Verona, to take that information without disturbing anyone," he exclaimed

Consider, according to Anand, the fleet of four first-class battleships that the kingdom of St. HIA prepared in the open sea for this information, and Joe's heart could not help sinking.

It's not going to end so easily.

Down the stairs, straight up to the second floor, down the corridor, to the end of the reception hall, where there is another arc-shaped staircase, leading to the host's daily life on the third floor.

In the largest living room on the third floor, the French windows facing the wharf were all open. The thick velvet curtains were closed, and only the soft and translucent gauze curtain was lowered.

The night wind blows the screen curtain, and the fragrance floats. On the big soft sofa in the living room, several graceful and charming girls are lying there.On the ground, there are several silver water pipe bags, and the long hose is hanging on the ground. In the cigarette holder, wisps of light smoke mixed with spices are slowly emerging.

The air is a little cloudy, a vague dense reverberates in the room.

The clothes of the girls were very cool, and their teeth whistled softly. Mr. gunnes turned around and ordered a group of guards to stand in the corridor outside, forbidding them to enter.

Joe took a deep look at the girl with satin like soft black hair lying on the sofa.

has a strong sense of three-dimensional features. Ivory skin reflects light in dim light, with a thin white body, fingernails and toenails coated with pale pink nail polish.

A few days ago, under the pressure of Leah, Joe accompanied her to watch a recently popular opera called "the merchant of nice". He recognized this opera as Verona, the heroine of the "nice merchant".

A very delicate beauty.

Thinking about the honor and age of the Lord Yanan, Joe whistled softly: "in the words of the merchant of nice, this is a dirty world. What flower can grow out of the mud and not be stained?"

Shaking his head, Joe walked straight through the living room into Verona's bedroom.

According to Yanan's confession, at the head of the bed in Verona's bedroom, Joe slid a huge oil painting of "water lily" to one side six feet away, revealing a safe three feet square behind.

Still familiar with the mountain emblem, Qiao smiles and enters the 18 digit code of Yanan's confession.

Open the heavy safe door, the eye is a foot and a half long, a foot wide, half a thick cowhide briefcase.

Joe took out the briefcase and examined the two small padlocks on it.

The padlock was not damaged at all, and some of the secret records confessed by Yanan were also intact. Obviously, after Yanan gave the information to miss Verona, the beautiful girl did not have any curiosity about the briefcase.

"The merciful muteste is here, which is good for her and for us." Joe patted the briefcase.

Then, curiously, he rummaged through the rest of the safe.

A tourist passport, then a stack of blank traveler's cheques, and a dozen small boxes, which contain some very good gem jewelry, according to the market price, about 30000 gold marks.

In a velvet purse, there were less than 100 gold coins in it, among which there were several large gold pounds cast by the ice sea Kingdom mint. Next to the money bag, there is a smart little wallet with more than 700 gold mark notes in it.

That's all.

An opera star who has just made her debut in port Toulon and is on the verge of a big fire, has so much wealth.

"Need an advanced prescription for strength potions?" Laplacian's voice sounded in time.

"Oh, no, I'm a policeman, not a thief!" Joe quickly rejected Laplacian's offer.

After a serious look at the safe, which seemed a little empty, Joe was about to close the safe door when his fingers suddenly trembled. His pupil "Shua" turned to light red. The magic circle of three circles and six pointed stars in the depth of the pupil slowly rotated again.

Joe's hand swayed from side to side in the safe, and then he grabbed at a dark whirlpool of black light in his field of vision. With a click, a secret door in the safe was activated, and there was a layer of interlayer inside the safe.

In this interlayer, there are stacks of brand-new gold mark banknotes, and nearly a hundred two pound gold pieces are neatly stacked together. At the top of these notes and gold, there is a milky crystal ball at the top.

Joe looked deeply at the crystal ball, at the total value of the million gold mark above the wealth.

The crystal ball, at first glance, was ordinary. Only in the crimson field of vision, Joe could see the immeasurable force in the crystal ball like a deep pool. Deep, twisted, like a small channel, leading to unpredictable existence.

Joe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again, and the red light in his eyes disappeared.

"Wow!" "Our Miss Verona, it seems, is not just a simple opera star..."

Laplacian's unique, almost parrot like, coral nibbling laughter began to ring.

"I don't think so If you are willing to pay a little bit of money, I can even tell you... " Laplaci's words suddenly stopped, apparently deliberately fishing for Joe's appetite.

"Oh, I don't want to know." Joe shook his head, closed the secret door again, restored the safe, returned the painting to its original position, and marched out with the safe.

An hour and a half later, surrounded by a large group of family guards, Joe finally returned home.
