Chapter 17 Flanders Manor

Chapter 17 Flanders Manor
The Kingdom of Barak, located in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire, is one of the four kingdoms within the Tiandou Empire. Therefore, the entire Tiandou Empire is actually composed of five countries - the four kingdoms occupying the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest respectively, and the Tiandou Royal Autonomous Region in the center.

But compared to the other three kingdoms with harsher landforms and environments, the Barak Kingdom possesses resources that are no less abundant than the Tiandou Royal Dominion. This is because Tiandou is located in the north of the cold northern province, in the east is the sea that even the royal family dares not set foot in, and in the west is a desert area. Only the Barak Kingdom is in the most favorable situation. In addition to having fertile land where everything can be grown, it also has abundant resources. It is backed by the Xingdou Great Forest, which makes forestry and mining industries extremely developed. In addition, it is located on the border and can trade with the Xingluo Empire, so industry and commerce can also develop rapidly.

Generally speaking, this is a rich place where you can make money by doing anything. At least Leng Xiyao is very envious of this place. She dreams of taking the Barak Kingdom into her possession and making it her base for dominating the continent.

Of course, the reason why they can occupy such a good place is that the king here is the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye. It is said that the royal succession in the Tiandou Empire is extremely harmonious. There will only be two heirs in each generation. The winner of the battle for the throne will naturally become the emperor, and the loser will become a prince and inherit the Kingdom of Barak.

These princes may have some ambitions at first, but after staying here for a long time, they become reluctant to leave. After all, being a king here is much more comfortable than being an emperor of Tiandou!
And now, the city of Soto, the economic center of the Barak Kingdom, is welcoming three uninvited guests who are looking at the entire city with ill intentions.

Well, actually these three people are Leng Xiyao and Qin Menglan who came from Xingdou Town, and Luo Qianrou who helped hold the egg.

In a sense, Xingdou Town is actually within the territory of the Barak Kingdom. After all, several nearby border towns are under the jurisdiction of the other party. It’s just that Leng Xiyao, the mayor, holds an official position in the Tiandou Empire rather than the Barak Kingdom, so there is always a very strange feeling.

But no matter what, Xingdou Town is not far from Soto City. You can just call a carriage and drive for two days to get there.

As soon as she got off the car, Leng Xiyao looked around like a country bumpkin, as if she was very curious about everything here.

It must be said that Soto City is definitely the most livable city she has ever seen. Not only is it located in a plain, but there are also many woods with rich soul power around it. There is also a clear river running through the city, dividing the entire city. Coupled with the city's well-planned buildings and antique style, Leng Xiyao actually had the illusion of traveling back to the Qinhuai River in the Ming Dynasty.

It would be great if she could occupy this place!
Looking at Leng Xiyao, who was drooling, Qin Menglan said anxiously, "Sister Yaoyao, let's go buy a place to live first. My children have been away from the land for too long and their vitality is almost gone."

"Oh, yes, let's go."

Leng Xiyao then remembered the important matter. Although the vitality of the fourth-level spiritual medicine was relatively strong and would not die suddenly when it left the soil, it obviously could not last for too long without absorbing enough nutrients. It was good enough that it did not die during the journey in the past two days, so she took the lead and walked towards the city.

However, Leng Xiyao soon encountered a problem that she had also encountered in her previous life.
"Is the housing price in this small city of Soto so expensive?"

Leng Xiyao walked into the trading center of Soto City with full confidence, and then was shocked when she looked at the real estate transaction module.

She thought that her current wealth of about 300,000 gold soul coins was enough, but who knew that in Soto City, this money was only enough to buy a small courtyard of only a few acres. The cheapest luxurious manor in the city cost one million gold coins, which was simply beyond her ability to afford now.

Of course, if she sold a few bottles of remaining cold liquid or a piece of ten thousand year old cold marrow, the money would not be a big goal, but the problem was that there were too many things that money could not buy, and Leng Xiyao would not be so short-sighted as to exchange treasures for money.

Qin Menglan was so shocked looking at the sky-high priced mansions above. If she had one million gold soul coins, she could probably adopt all the homeless children in the Tiandou Empire!
"Dear guests, how can I help you?" Looking at the extraordinary temperament of Leng Xiyao and the others, a receptionist soon came forward and asked with a smile.

Seeing that professionals had come, Leng Xiyao didn't think much about it. She pointed to the properties at the top that were priced over a million, and then asked, "Miss, we want to buy a manor of this size, but we only have 300,000 gold soul coins. Do you have any recommendations?"

The receptionist did not show any disdain when she heard Leng Xiyao's words. Instead, she thought about it seriously and finally said, "If you need a large manor, you can buy one outside the city. The price will be much cheaper. You can even buy land and build it yourself. The manors in the city are almost all for the top rich people and royal nobles to live in. They have a lot of special meanings, so they are so expensive."

Leng Xiyao understood after a little thought. This was probably a kind of pretense, or an IQ tax. It was like two businessmen with similar business scale, one lived outside the city to save money, while the other lived in the city and was neighbors with a bunch of big shots. Their connections and status were immediately distinguished.

However, Leng Xiyao just wanted to find a place to settle down, but she didn't expect the housing prices in Soto City to be so horrible, so she asked: "So, is there any good place to recommend near Soto City?"

"Well, the manors in the villages and towns around Soto City."

When the receptionist heard this, she turned back to her desk, picked up a small notebook, and slowly flipped through it, frowning slightly. Obviously, most manors built outside the city were inhabited and would not be registered for sale at the exchange.

When turning to a certain page, the receptionist suddenly stopped, looked at the registration information and then read out: "Got it. There is a large manor near Shrek Village. The owner is called Flanders. The decoration is quite good and there are all the necessary facilities. It's just that the place is a bit remote."

"Ah, this. Flanders can also build a manor?" Leng Xiyao was a little surprised when she heard this familiar name. That old money-grubber didn't seem like someone who would enjoy luxury!

Seeing Leng Xiyao's expression, the young lady continued to explain: "According to the reason given by the other party when he came to register, this manor was originally intended to find some sponsorship for his college, so as to build this place and give those wealthy businessmen a place to stay to show their sincerity."
