Herag thought for a mont. If he rembered correctly, the formal mbers of the Serlandir faction have a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to buy a house at half price.
He then asked, "Mr. Pries, how much does a house in Silver Moon City generally cost?"
Pries pondered, "It depends on the district, the price varies quite a bit. Let’s head out first, I’ll take you to an inn to settle in. Buying a house isn’t sothing that can be done in one or two days."
"Thank you, Mr. Pries," Herag expressed his gratitude.
Pries waved his hand and laughed, "No worries, we’re all from the sa faction, no need to stand on ceremony. Besides, your guidance task is worth twenty Contribution Points, and such easy points are not sothing you can just pick up without effort."
Pries led them through a series of twists and turns, and after crossing several main streets, they arrived in front of a tall inn.
The inn was located at the intersection of a busy cross street, with a lot of foot traffic, suggesting it wouldn’t be cheap to stay here.
However, Herag and his companions had their accommodation covered for half a month by the Serlandir faction, so the expense wasn’t an issue.
Pries helped Herag and the other two register and complete the check-in process at the inn’s reception, then went upstairs to beco familiar with the route.
The rooms here were quite small, smaller at least compared to those Herag had stayed in before, likely due to the location, making them more expensive and thus smaller.
But the basic facilities were present; apart from a bathroom, there was even a small kitchen.
After checking the room to ensure everything was in order, Pries said, "Herag, I’ll give you the Talisman Stone number of soone from the Property Managent Center. He’s also a mber of Serlandir and won’t overcharge you. Of course, to be safe, check with before any transactions. Only pay if there are no issues."
He finished speaking and sent a number to Herag through the Talisman Stone. After morizing it, Herag added the person as a friend and discovered his na was Jamie.
"Thanks for your help, Mr. Pries. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, feel free to ask."
Pries was genuinely responsible, and Herag was very grateful to him for helping him avoid being clueless upon arriving in the Land of Dawn.
Pries laughed, "No problem, no problem. I’ll be off now. Get comfortable quickly, and contact via Talisman Stone if there’s anything."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Pries." Herag and his companions saw Pries to the inn’s entrance and watched him leave.
After returning to his room, Herag noticed the Talisman Stone flashing; Jamie had already accepted his friend request.
"Mr. Herag, Pries has already told about your situation. Welco to Silver Moon City and to joining the Serlandir faction," Jamie greeted.
Herag replied, "Mr. Jamie, I’m interested in buying a house. Do you have any suggestions?"
"The price varies greatly depending on the area in Silver Moon City. Simply put, the closer you are to the city center, the more expensive it is; the closer to the city wall, the cheaper it is. However, this isn’t always absolute, as there are so special cases. Do you have a map of Silver Moon City? I can explain it to you," Jamie said.
The Talisman Stone could only send text ssages, couldn’t send or store pictures.
Herag glanced at the map in his hand and replied, "I do."
Jamie responded, "What are your requirents? What kind of environnt do you need?"
"Quiet, preferably not too noisy, and places with fewer people," Herag thought for a mont and said.
He didn’t like crowded places, as more people often led to more trouble.
The Land of Dawn was a complex place, and the fewer the problems, the better.
Jamie replied, "These places are generally more expensive. The cheaper places have higher population density. What’s your budget?"
"The budget would be within tens of thousands of Magic Stones at most," Herag had just over ten thousand Magic Stones, so his budget was limited.
"That’s fine. Hang on a minute, I’ll help you pick so places, and you can see which one you like," Jamie replied.
About ten minutes later, Jamie sent over so place nas.
Herag compared them with his map. The first was a residential area called King Street, located in the middle of the eastern part of Silver Moon City, quite far from the city wall, priced at eighty thousand Magic Stones for a small courtyard.
The second option was a small courtyard in the southern part of Silver Moon City, relatively cheaper at fifty thousand Magic Stones.
The third option was a small courtyard in the northwest of Silver Moon City, priced at seventy thousand Magic Stones.
Herag imdiately excluded the southern courtyard because it was too close to the city wall. Upon examining the location on the map, he saw several taverns and inns nearby, which tended to have more complicated visitors.
As for the northwest courtyard, after thinking for a while, Herag decided against it.
It was too close to a residential area for common people, which from the map clearly had dense housing, indicating a high population.
Even though it was so distance away, Herag was still not satisfied.
As for the residential area on King Street, it seed more suitable. The surrounding buildings weren’t dense, and there were no large residential areas, so foot traffic wouldn’t be high.
The only downside was that it was more expensive, requiring eighty thousand Magic Stones.
Herag replied, "Mr. Jamie, could you please send more property introductions? I’d like to compare a few more."
"No problem." Jamie quickly sent over more place nas.
Herag invited Reese and David to discuss and settled on three candidate locations.
Of course, it was mainly Reese involved in the discussion, while David remained mostly silent, simply agreeing each option was good.
To him, everything seed fine.
"Mr. Jamie, could you take us to see these houses tomorrow?" Herag asked.
"No problem, are you at the Cross Inn?" Jamie inquired.
"That’s right."
Jamie said, "Sure, I’ll co to pick you up around 10 o’clock tomorrow."
...
The next morning, Herag and his companions waited downstairs at the designated ti.
A carriage slowly stopped outside the inn, and then a man alighted, glanced at the inn entrance, and soon identified Herag and his companions.
Jamie approached and tentatively asked, "Mr. Herag?"
Herag nodded, "Yes, are you Mr. Jamie?"
Jamie extended his hand with a smile, "Yes, yes, pleased to et you."
After a handshake, David and Reese introduced themselves, then boarded Jamie’s carriage.
On the carriage, Jamie said, "Mr. Herag, you have a good eye; the three locations you’ve selected are all decent properties. In my opinion, any of them would be a good choice. Once you visit all three, make your decision."
Herag smiled and nodded. He had picked the three most expensive ones, so naturally, they wouldn’t be bad.
Over the next two days, Herag and his companions visited all three places under Jamie’s guidance.
