Chapter 452 Decoration Trivia
Seeing that Shade doesn’t understand this at all, Auguste priest stopped, Looking in the corridor with Shade towards the morning view of the Plaza Dawn outside the window on one side:
“Shade, you obviously impossible to supervise the construction work at home all day long. Although the construction team I recommend to you is very reliable, it will not Trouble you, but how do you deal with problems during construction? Do you let them report once a day? And, do you really trust a group of strangers to stop at your home?"

"This."

On the shoulders of the old priest patted Shade:

"Ha, youngster is really not reliable. In this way, I will send you a supervisor from the church as your representative to assist you in the maintenance and construction of the house. process."

"So how do I get paid? Daily or weekly?"

Shade asked immediately.

“Salary?”

Augustus priest looked towards him curiously:
“Why pay?”

“en? ”

"Most of the time the church helps the believers without a salary. Not to mention it's just a supervisor, even if you want to find someone to help you exorcise your demons, or you want to join the church-organized believers' association to help you Will the church charge you money for officiating weddings and funerals?"

Actually, they still charge some, but very little.

"Hamilton of Rejed, you are the core believers of Dawn Church in Tobesque Diocese. There is no need to talk about money."

The priest concluded the conversation, leading Take Shade to find someone for help. Young priests and nuns passing by in the corridors greeted Augustus priest respectfully, who had a very high reputation in the diocese.

"However, after all, your house is a 'haunted house' named after the church. If something goes wrong in the future, it's best not to deal with it by yourself, but to ask the church to deal with it."

He reread some of the words, and Shade couldn't say he understood:
"But, when I've lived here for a few years and have been safe and sound, can number six be called a haunted house? "

"It's hard to say."

The priest is not optimistic about this:

"Look, former detective Sparrow Hamilton, also lived in It took three years for the accident to happen. So if you want to prove that your house is not a haunted house, at least you have lived in it longer than Detective Sparrow and can move out healthy."

Shade Forget it. , he lived on the sixth for only two months. And if he wanted to sell the house at the price of the normal houses of his neighbors, he would have to live at least until the summer of 1856 on the GE.

"But I have confidence in you. For you, the current situation is a process of rapid appreciation of wealth. This is more reliable than any investment, even the most profitable investment rumored by the nobles The project, and the adventure group that participates in the new continent adventure, will not have such a lucrative return as the real estate in St. Teresa Square.”

Augus first said with a smile, and foreigners agreed:

"Yes, I forgot, not only the house, but also the real estate on No. 6. Sure enough, no matter where you are or what era you are in, real estate is the most valuable investment."

"It's not easy for the youngster to realize this."

The priest touched the chin.

Because there is no house in my hometown, foreigners do not have any experience in building maintenance and decoration.

He thought it was a simple matter, he just signed a formal contract and met with the overseer sent by the church. didn't expect him to make a decision about the large and small layout of the house after the construction started, because in addition to renovations, he also wanted to do renovations.

Apart from this , this afternoon, the horse-drawn wagon transport team sent by Miss Galina blocked half of Sainte-de-Land Square, almost causing traffic chaos in the nearby neighborhood.

Shade didn't expect , that lady maid would get herself so much furniture. All he wanted was a simple wardrobe, bed and table, and the maid didn't expect it to be so detailed that he even chose the style of the curtains, the style of the gas lamp and the oil painting on the wall.

The furniture was shipped to the basement, where it was renovated and then furnished.

In addition to the furniture transport team, Miss Galina improvised and hired a mason to rebuild the decorative walls and fireplaces of Shade's house, and sent a carpenter from the manor to build shelves and fireplaces for Shade. Few have no ready furniture.

So the masons and carpenters who were responsible for the maintenance of the noble estates joined together with the renovation team recommended by Augustus priest invited by Shade, and the plumbing staff from the gas and steam companies. A new home renovation plan was negotiated.

Of course, there is no additional cost, after all, the money Shade has paid has a premium.

Because of these complicated and messy things, Shade week one after another all day, with the cat busy at home, no leisure at all. This is even more tiring than going to Lengshuigang for adventure, and going to Lengshuigang can at least have some leisure time.

But fortunately, the house decoration documents were approved. I don't know who helped Shade to say hello at the city hall, and all documents were stamped and archived in one day.

And when everyone left No. 6 in the evening, the specific decoration and maintenance plan was also formulated. After that, as long as the plan is implemented, as long as there is no heavy rain that affects the roof waterproofing construction, the project is expected to be completed within this week. When the time comes, all the rooms of No. 6 Sunderland Square will be open to Shade.

The renovation of such a great generosity, although it did not make Shade pay extra expenses, has attracted the attention of the neighbors. Although there is no Neighborhood Mutual Aid Committee in St. Teresa Square, the renovation of the block requires the consent of the neighbors due to the possible prolonged noise and the entry and exit of strangers.

So in the evening, Shade visited his neighbors with his submissions. And because of Shade's unusual working hours, it was the first time he saw his neighbors.

Among them, living at No. 5, St. Teresa Square, is a Smith old couple in their fifties with three small dogs. They politely invited Shade to have a cup of tea, and after knowing that it was just a simple decoration, they signed their name on the paper.

The two knew Detective Sparrow who had lived here for three years, but it was also from Shade that they heard that Detective Sparrow had passed away. After all, when the detective was alive, he didn't have a very close relationship with his neighbors.

As for Old Mister and Mrs. Smith, the former is a retired civil servant of the kingdom and used to work as a secretary in the kingdom's treasury. The framed medals on the walls are all his honors, and only Shade knows the "Delarion Iris Knight Medal", "St. George's Loyalty Award Medal" and "Kingdom Special Contribution Medal". In Delarion's Level 5 medal system, both are Level 3 medals and the latter is a Level 2 medal. This means that Mr. Smith is definitely not an ordinary department secretary before his retirement.

Mrs. Smith is an employee of the non-profit public welfare sector in Tobesque, the kind of minimum-paid volunteer staff.

Their two children also live in Tobesque, but have separate families, so they only visit occasionally.

The Smiths know about "Rejed's Hamilton", praise him for his loyalty, and want to invite Shade to stay for dinner, but Shade declines.

And from the conversation, Shade also knew that the two old men had seen him before, but had never spoken to him, so he naturally accepted the matter of his taking over the detective agency.

Fortunately, Detective Sparrow doesn't let the original owner Shade contact too many people, otherwise someone will realize that in just a few months, Shade Hamilton's face and temperament have changed too much. big.
