Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 58 The Family Industry
The City of Stars and Colors has two core urban areas. One is the Xingyue urban area where the Holy See headquarters is located. The building complexes occupying a huge area are comparable to some small cities.

Blue Lake City may be about the same size as Xingyue City in size, but it is far behind in terms of prosperity. Many people are used to calling Xingyue City the Educational City.

The other area is the aristocratic gathering place including the imperial palace, the Xingcai District with the same name as this city. Of course, people are more accustomed to calling this place the Shangcheng District, and this name is more clear and simple.

In Xingcai City, there are Kingdom soldiers patrolling everywhere, and in Xingyue City, there are Judgment Knights.

The two urban areas are like two countries that do not interfere with each other, each exercising its own rules.

But that's what kings are all about, and kingship seems to be respected to a certain extent.In other cities, the mayor is just a decoration, and who can take the position of mayor depends on the face of the local cathedral administrator.

Apart from the Xingcai city, many nobles have their own real estate on the fringes of the Xingcai capital, and even in the suburbs outside the city.

The area of ​​Xingcai City is limited, and the size and size of houses are strictly limited. Noble mansions cannot exceed the imperial palace.But outside the city, there is no such concern. A luxurious mansion can show one's identity.

Of course, this rule basically became a joke after the 200-meter-high observatory next door was built.

In addition, these mansions located outside the city can also be used to do some shady things, such as storing large amounts of assets of unknown origin, or hiding the beauty in a golden house.

The mansion where the sacrifice was held was not outside the city, but in a remote place in the corner of the Star City.

When Li Xun arrived here, he found that there were two other houses of similar size and type around the mansion, but they had already been deserted and there was no trace of human activity.

The maids who arrived earlier have already started cleaning up the house. Because of the frequent cleaning, the workload is not heavy. This house only needs to buy some daily necessities, and you can move in directly.

Iris naturally blended into it, and began to direct the work of these maids.

Li Xun, on the other hand, walked around the mansion, trying to find remnants related to the accident that year.

As a residence, this three-storey mansion is impeccable, but Li Xun still finds it hard to imagine how close to 100 people died in this mansion.

Isn't this a three-story building, from top to bottom, every place is fully paved?

And I remember that Teacher Rosalind once said that the scenes at the scene were very tragic, and I didn't see any traces.

"Master, dinner will be ready soon."

Like a child who was excited about moving, Iris walked by with a slightly happy smile on her face, carrying a cup of black tea.

Li Xun took the teacup made of gold and jade, which can be called a work of art, and took a sip of the black tea in the cup, only to feel that the taste is full-bodied, with a long history and a special flavor.

"You don't look scared at all. You must know that more than 100 people have died here. I'm afraid it's the top haunted house."

"Young master, do you underestimate me? As the deacon of the Augustman family, I'm not a little girl who will be frightened by this level!"

Yuanwei couldn't help raising her head and puffing her chest out, wanting to prove to Li Xun that she is not a vase, she has real materials and is actually very capable.

Whether it is dark or bloody, she is not uncommon, and she is not the kind of little girl who is ignorant of the world.

"Really, why didn't I see it?"

The girl's exquisite figure outlines a seductive arc, although it is far from the oppressive feeling that Rosalinde brings to people, it is still very pleasing to the eye.

Approaching a little closer to the girl, the latter shrank her neck in fear.

"When will you stop trembling in front of me, and then say such things again!"

"I... I didn't tremble. The young master is not a scary existence, I am the one..."

The physical reaction was so loyal that even Iris' words of defense seemed extremely feeble.

Looking at the dejected and somewhat lost girl, Li Xun smiled and sipped the black tea in his cup again.

"Before dinner, talk to me about the existing properties of the Augustman family. I can choose one of them to take over, right?"

"Yes, master, I will explain it to you now."

Iris knew that it was time for her to perform, and the cheered up girl began to slowly introduce the situation of Augustman's house to Li Xun.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Duke of the Kingdom, the industry involved in the Augustman family is naturally huge.

From people's livelihood to military use, from basic necessities of life to new technologies, the shadow of the Augustman family can be seen everywhere.

After hearing this, Li Xun was even a little confused, because the Augustman family had so many properties that he didn't know what to choose.

"Master's eldest son is in the watch business. Compared with gorgeous diamond jewelry, wristwatches and pocket watches with complicated craftsmanship have become a new status symbol. A watch made by a top master can sell for a sky-high price of tens of thousands of gold coins." .”

"The second young master runs a factory that produces mechanical parts and luxury goods such as car pianos. Nowadays, in the capital of stars, mechanical creations have become more and more popular, and they are also a symbol of dignity."

"The third young master opened casinos, prostitutes, and lending money in the lower urban area, and was in charge of a lot of gray industries in the family. But I think that the master is most optimistic about the third young master. Few of the thousand-year-old family are clean. These gray Someone has to take over the property, it's part of the family."

"In the case of the eldest lady, she is selling cosmetics and clothes, but it is just for fun, not serious. In the case of the second lady, she is still young and has not yet taken over the family business."

After talking about Augustman's family business, Iris introduced the situation of Moqier's children.

"How old is Second Miss?"

"17 years old, no coming-of-age ceremony has been held yet."

"Well, speaking of it, I haven't held a coming-of-age ceremony, by the way, how old are you, Iris?"

"Hey... I, I... Young Master, it's very impolite to ask a girl's age like this!"

Iris opened her mouth a little timidly, and the expression on her face also looked a little embarrassed.

Because she suddenly realized that the young master in front of her was actually just a young man, much younger than herself.

Thinking of not long ago, she cried bitterly in front of the other party, and even now looking at the other party's legs are a little weak, Iris couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed.
