Chapter 907

On the top floor of an old-fashioned building without an elevator, Franca looked at the rental house that emitted a slight moldy smell and muttered:

"In this location, this kind of broken house, the whole rent is 2200..."

This rental house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one kitchen, and a living room that serves as a restaurant. Each is very narrow, the master bedroom has a balcony, and the house age is over thirty years.

But even for such a rental house, Franca used the "Witch"'s "Instigation" ability and played her strengths in social aspects to negotiate the price with the female landlord to within 2500, and there was no need to pay three months' rent as a deposit, only one month's rent as a deposit.

"It's okay," Jenna was quite satisfied with the current residence.

This is much better than the place where her family lived before her mother passed away.

Lu Mian glanced at the cash in his hand and said to Franca:

"Only three thousand left. Including the ones you borrowed, it's less than six thousand, and we still have to buy a batch of ordinary clothes. We can't go out so conspicuously every day."

"It's okay," Franca, who was in a familiar environment, was no longer as worried as before. She smiled calmly and composedly, "I can borrow from every app again, and so can you. Adding them up is enough to support Ludwig for several months. With such a long time, are you afraid you won't be able to make money?"

"Is it so easy to borrow money here?" Jenna asked in surprise.

In Trier, whether it is going to a pawnshop to mortgage items or finding a loan shark to borrow money, it is not a simple matter. There must be corresponding things or people with certain value, and just now she saw Franca just click a few times on her mobile phone and successfully borrowed a sum of money.

Is everyone like this, or do beautiful "Witches" have special treatment?

Franca curled her lips:

"It's quite easy. Even the poorest people have residual value. If it really doesn't work, they can be sold for organs..."

Obviously, she doesn't like the fact that online loans are too easy, but now she has to borrow a bunch of small loans to support Ludwig and the whole team, so she can't say the words behind.

Lu Mian took out the golden box returned by Lady 'Magician' from the "Traveler's Bag" and asked after deliberation:

"Is there anyone here who buys gold?"

The space contained in his "Traveler's Bag" has also shrunk significantly. Currently, it is only equivalent to a storage room, and he cannot store too much food for Ludwig.

"Yes, but it's managed very strictly. Let's see if there are any illegal channels later," Franca has read a lot of books and has a certain understanding of gold trading.

"Illegal channels?" Lu Mian said thoughtfully, "When we find such channels to sell gold, will they see that we are outsiders, easy to bully, and dare not report to the police for such things, and swallow our gold directly without giving money?"

Franca glanced at Lu Mian:

"Do you want to fish again?"

"This is called a kind person giving a gift," Lu Mian laughed. "For this kind of black-eating-black, they shouldn't report to the police, and it shouldn't affect our good image of abiding by the law, right?"

After long-term daily influence from Aurora and Franca, and being in the corresponding environment, Lu Mian gradually became proficient in the use of certain words and sentences.

"Can't you find a proper job?" Franca scolded with a smile.

"Work will only affect our observation of the people and things around Mr. 'Fool'," Lu Mian's reason was sufficient.

"That's not necessarily true," Franca retorted subconsciously. "If that job can help you become Mr. 'Fool''s colleague, wouldn't it be more convenient to observe?"

"That's true..." Lu Mian's gaze moved from Franca's face to Jenna and Anthony, as if thinking about who should apply for the corresponding job.

"Speaking of which, the company where Mr. 'Fool' is located was opened by Emperor Roselle," Franca recalled the content of the information. "The Emperor's real name wouldn't be Huang Tao, right? According to the Major Arcana cards, that is occasionally the Emperor's own projection, but most of the time it is a fake person woven by Mr. 'Fool' in the dream. Well, now only the latter possibility remains. I don't know how long it will take for the Emperor to get a chance to resurrect..."

As she spoke, Franca suddenly laughed:

"The Emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Bei Er Na Dai, has the name Huang Beibei in Mr. 'Fool''s dream. Haha, what a cute name. Is this Mr. 'Fool''s sense of humor?"

"You restrain yourself. Princess Bei Er Na Dai often projects her consciousness in. She seems to have an item similar to a lucky gold coin," Jenna reminded Franca with a smile. She had just seen the corresponding description in the information.

At this time, Lu Mian had already considered clearly:

"I or Anthony will apply. A 'Witch' entering the Emperor's company might have a lot of trouble and can't be low-key."

Franca and Jenna nodded heavily, both thinking of the Emperor's famous saying.

Lu Mian turned the topic back to gold:

"If I sell this golden box in the dream, will my golden box in reality disappear?"

"If it doesn't, can it be sold again and again by leaving the dream and returning?"

"..." Franca, Jenna, and Anthony couldn't speak for a while.

Is this the influence brought by Amon's gift?

After a few seconds, Lu Mian said to himself:

"It shouldn't work. Mr. 'Fool' is a great existence who holds errors and loopholes, and won't leave such an obvious problem. I suspect that selling gold in the dream is equivalent to sacrificing it to him..."

"I think so too," Franca expressed agreement.

While they were talking, a cluster of quiet and evil black flames condensed around the two "Witches" and Lu Mian, who had a male appearance.

These twenty or thirty black flames flew to all parts of the room, burning the insects that might exist.

Originally, Lu Mian could let the entire house be submerged by the "Witch"'s black flames to complete the cleaning, but he could only exert the level of Sequence 7 now.

After finishing the cleaning, Franca began to teach Lu Mian and the others how to use mobile phones and guided Ludwig to play with the children's phone watch.

Unknowingly, the sky slowly darkened.

"I'm hungry!" Ludwig's voice suddenly sounded.

Franca pulled her gaze from the mobile phone and looked at the sky that was already dusk, sighing sincerely:

"Mobile phones are so fun..."

Time passes so fast!

Lu Mian, Jenna, and others who were greatly shocked had to put away their mobile phones and go out to find a restaurant to avoid Ludwig getting hungry and causing trouble.

They hadn't even assigned which room to sleep in.

After leaving the old community, Franca looked at the row of shops on the roadside and said with a smile:

"According to my previous observation, this city is modeled after one I traveled to before. The cooking level of the small shops on the street here might be higher than that of big hotels, and more suitable for us who are not high-class.

"Let's eat at this one first, so as not to let Ludwig wait."

She pointed to a small restaurant on the left side of the community, which had a good business and even set up a few tables on the sidewalk.

Before going out, Lu Mian and the others had used the "Lie" ear clip to adjust their hair color and eye color and modified their faces. Although the handsome men and beautiful women still attracted hidden or bold gazes, at least they wouldn't make them look out of place with the surrounding environment, looking like outsiders at a glance.

Franca chose one of the tables on the sidewalk, took the menu, and asked with a smile:

"The specialty is spicy, can you eat it?"

"Isn't the essence of spicy a kind of pain? What can't be endured about this?" Lu Mian answered without caring at all.

Franca looked at him provocatively, then looked at Jenna, and smiled:

"It's not all spicy. There are sweet and sour ones, and there are fresh ones. Like two dishes I like very much, Kung Pao Chicken and Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, they can be made non-spicy. And the proportion of sour, sweet, and other flavors can be different in every family. You have to have fate to meet the type that best suits your taste. The two times I was most satisfied, one was in an old brand, and one was a fly restaurant similar to the current one.

"The Kung Pao Chicken of the old brand was adjusted to a lychee paste flavor, and the chicken used was all cut from the chicken legs, tender and smooth without being dry. And the Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce of that fly restaurant only used scallions cut into sections as side dishes, and the sweet, sour, salty, and pickled pepper flavors were all adjusted into the juice, mixed and stir-fried with the meat. This is different from the common practice, but it is very appetizing and delicious...

"Uh, should we open a few bottles of beer? We rarely have such a full team dinner, although I don't like bottled beer, but I can drink it if I make do..."

Since introducing mobile phones on the train, Franca has been maintaining an excited state like returning to her home court, always introducing and sharing endlessly, with light flowing in her eyes, as if hiding a ray of sunshine.

Lu Mian didn't mind that this guy showed a host-like enthusiastic attitude and snatched all the words the captain should say, but was infected by a bit of calmness, relaxation, and joy because of this.

The summer night was very late to get dark. It was past seven o'clock now, and the sky was still bright. The wind blowing through the tables and chairs on the roadside brought a bit of coolness from the restaurant and other shops, making the people eating and drinking more and more lively. Some were laughing loudly, some were playing with mobile phones while eating, without any restraint of sitting on the sidewalk.

Jenna observed for a while and said to Franca in a low voice:

"There is a strange sense of relaxation..."

She hadn't seen people sitting on the roadside eating in the Botanical Garden District and Market District, but she didn't have a similar feeling.

"This is one of the pasts I miss," Franca, who had ordered the dishes, said with bright eyes.

At this time, a young woman with smooth and moist black hair simply tied into a ponytail was wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt, fitness shorts, and dragging slippers, came to the entrance of this small restaurant and asked the busy boss:

"How long will it take to pack?"

"Little Xia, so late today?" the boss asked with a familiar tone.

The woman surnamed Xia hadn't answered yet when someone shouted not far away:

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

A figure ran through the tables and chairs, holding a diamond necklace tightly in his hand.

When he ran to the side of the woman surnamed Xia, the latter suddenly raised her foot and kicked sideways.

Bang!

The thief was kicked out for several meters, fell to the ground, wailed in pain, and couldn't climb up for a short time.

"This sister is a bit fierce," Franca was full of appreciation.

Lu Mian looked at the side face of the woman surnamed Xia and said in a low voice:

"Is it Xia Tas, the one who shares a rental house with Mr. 'Fool'?"
