Chapter 188 Moving

Elor would make a point of coming home early every day to accompany Dorothy to choose a suitable house.

Dorothy behaved herself in the days that followed.

I was careful to maintain appropriate boundaries when interacting with Elor.

The atmosphere feels a little off right now.

They acted the same way when they were together.

But I feel like there are always some little sparks in everyday life.

If we're talking about the person Dorothy is closest to, it's not Elor, but Anna.

Although Anna usually keeps a distance from Dorothy.

But if you look for Anna, you can always find her around Dorothy.

Elor has recently become more willing to get closer to Dorothy.

Although the two were friendly before, there was always a certain distance between them.

The sense of distance seems to have disappeared recently.

For example, right now.

Elor and Dorothy were walking down the street, but they were holding hands.

Passersby on the street can't help but glance at them.

Although Dorothy also said that they should keep a low profile in public.

However, Elor said that this proves they have a good relationship and don't need to care about other people's opinions.

Dorothy, of course, didn't care about the stares of others.

But she always felt that Elor's behavior was starting to show some possessiveness.

Dorothy just hoped it was all in her head.

After six days of searching, Dorothy and Elor found a house that satisfied them.

It's a large three-story building with front and back gardens, and if you buy it, it also comes with several small houses around the perimeter.

The house that came with the house was also one of the reasons Dorothy was interested in it.

Dorothy was thinking that she needed to increase staff at several shops under her Carter Company.

Recruiting locals in the apprenticeship city is much more difficult, but recruiting people from other places is much easier.

The house that comes with the house can be used by the people who are recruited.

You could say this house has advantages everywhere, but of course, it has one drawback that's not exactly a drawback.

Or rather, it was a flaw for Dorothy.

That's because it's too close to the Church of Holy Light.

Dorothy turned to look at her neighbor across the hall.

Just step outside and you'll be directly at the Church of Holy Light.

At this moment, four paladins were still standing guard at the church entrance, and Dorothy's gaze met theirs.

Dorothy gave a friendly, non-awkward smile.

But the knights simply turned their gaze away coldly, searching for any suspicious persons in the vicinity.

The Knights didn't pay much attention to their new neighbor, Dorothy.

Then it comes to money.

The city of apprentices is also a place where every inch of land is extremely valuable.

Although this area is considered relatively remote.

The owner of this house was a middle-aged man with a large belly and a rather short stature, whose brown hair was half-white.

"Ladies, if you wish, two thousand gold coins will be enough to take this house and all the small houses nearby."

In the city of apprentices, the housing prices are not expensive.

Taking out two thousand gold coins in one go was not difficult for Dorothy.

Moreover, Dorothy only ran small businesses.

Even if she spends these gold coins, it won't have much impact on her restaurant or clothing store.

But it still hurts to ask Dorothy to pay for it.

So Dorothy looked hesitant.

The owner of the house, of course, noticed Dorothy's hesitation, and went on to explain the advantages of the house.

"Hey, look at this avenue. It leads directly to the commercial street and market. Transportation is very convenient. The Holy Light Church is right across the street. If you feel unwell, you can ask the priest to come and treat you."

"The houses that came with it have also been cleaned up and there is absolutely no damage."

"Moreover, the two ladies have already toured the interior, including the banquet hall, the reception room, the kitchen, and the servants' quarters."

The cellar was fully equipped, and even had magical plants growing inside to improve the environment.

"If it weren't for my age, my children's desire for me to return to my hometown to retire, and the recent attack on Apprentice City, I would never have sold the house so easily."

Dorothy naturally knew that such a large house must have all sorts of advantages.

Moreover, the hidden dangers within the City of Apprentices have now disappeared, and if I had stayed two more days, it might have been sold.

In the end, Dorothy could only console herself.

Never mind, Dorothy, didn't you give Renee a thousand gold coins a while ago?

It's a great deal to get such a big house for just 2,000 gold coins.

In the end, Dorothy nodded.

"Okay! I'll buy it."

The wealthy merchant smiled when he heard Dorothy agree. He ran his finger along the ring on his left hand and produced a magic scroll and a piece of parchment.

"These are the transaction agreement and property certificate."

After signing the transaction agreement and completing the deal, the wealthy merchant left directly in a carriage.

Dorothy clutched her wallet, looking utterly devastated.

Although he had taken all the money from the pockets of noble ladies, and the clothes were made by exploiting Angel.

But it was money I earned through hard work.

However, when Dorothy looked up at the big house in front of her, her depressed mood was relieved quite a bit.

Elor poked Dorothy's shoulder with her hand.

"Dorothy, why are you suddenly spacing out?"

Dorothy shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just feel like—finally I have a home of my own."

Apart from the drafty, dilapidated house in Laurent Village, this house was Dorothy's first real home in the world.

Dorothy let out a breath.

"Let's go, we're moving in here starting today. Let's go back and move."

Upon hearing this, Elor smiled happily.

The knights at the entrance of the Church of Holy Light paid no attention to this new neighbor.

When Renee returned from her missionary work, she had just stepped off the carriage when she saw three cargo wagons parked outside the house opposite the Church of Holy Light, where workers were moving furniture.

Renee paused slightly, then asked the paladin standing guard at the door, "Has that house across the street changed owners?"

One of the knights closest to Renee immediately stood up straight and nodded in response, "Yes, Your Highness, this morning two young girls bought that house, and they are moving in now."

Renee nodded to indicate that she understood.

"I see. To be able to buy such a big house, one must be either a magician or a nobleman. I'll pay him a visit during dinner."

After all, they are new neighbors.

Renee still wanted to get along well with her new neighbors.

So when it was time for dinner in the evening, Renee prepared two books.

One book contained the doctrines of the Holy Light Church, and the other was a fairy tale book that she loved very much.

Renee stood at the entrance of the mansion and touched the reminder magic placed on the wall.

Soon a young girl came out of the house.

Renee was slightly taken aback when she saw Leonce come out of the house.

"Miss Leons?"

As a senior mage at the magic academy and a friend of Dorothy, Leonce was naturally someone Renee knew.

When Leona saw that Renee was holding a gift, she immediately knew Renee's purpose in coming.
