Although Tang En had already raised his expectations for Aubrey, he didn't expect him to give him such a big surprise.
The shop in front of him was located in the center of the Alinx market area. It was a square street, and opposite the square was the Church of Holy Light. Next to the square was the Church of Holy Light. It was the only way to get to the Church of Holy Light from the market area, so there was a lot of traffic.
Although the Church of Holy Light was a very small area in the outer city, the people who lived here were all devout members of the Radiant Church. The power of faith brought a strong sense of cohesion to this area. Alinx, or rather, the official religion of the Irus Empire, worshipped the God of Light, Yebirni.
Whether it was the heavily armored paladins, the smiling trainee priests or red-robed priests, or the strict black-robed priests, they all represented the power of the God of Light, Yebirni. They also represented the God of Light's recognition of Alinx.
The market area was built next to the Church of Holy Light. Perhaps the people who planned this city hoped that people could trade fairly under the witness of the gods.
The location of the shop was undoubtedly one of the best in the market area. It alone occupied an area of more than a thousand square meters. It was a four-storey building with a usable area of more than four thousand square meters. It could be turned into a big shopping mall.
It was worth mentioning that the Forier family was very efficient. In just one night, the workers had moved everything that originally occupied the place away, leaving Tang En and the others with an empty shell that they could modify at will.
Hilton looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar shop with a complicated expression.
"After so many years, I didn't expect to have the chance to come back here …"
"You can say that when you have the chance in the future."
Tang En smiled. "Let's take a look around first."
"Yes, my lord. This way please."
Although she hadn't been back for many years, Hilton still knew the layout of this place like the back of her hand. She took Tang En from the first floor to the fourth floor, and even checked the basement and the warehouse at the back.
After taking a look, Hilton felt relieved. She smiled and said, "It seems that the Foire family has been using this shop all these years. That's why the shop looks well maintained. There's basically nothing that needs to be repaired. We just need to renovate it a little and it can open for business."
"Very good? No, no, no, the difference is too big. "
Hearing this, Tang En frowned and started muttering to himself.
The shop was huge, but judging from how much the Foire Family used it, they didn't use it to its full potential. The second half of the shop was simply used as a storeroom, while the real storeroom was half-empty.
In addition, this was a multi-story building. Since most people were lazy, very few people would go to the upper floors, and the utilization rate was even lower.
After taking a look around, Tang En had a rough idea of the overall structure of the building. He also had a preliminary idea, but he still needed to think about the specific details.
Tang En whispered to Hilton, "Bring some people to clean up first. I'll go back to Ellington and discuss with Fiona."
Hilton nodded slightly to show that she understood.
"Elsa."
Tang En called Elsa over and said, "Take care of Elijah. Don't let her run around."
"Yes, my lord."
After giving the order, Tang En went to the basement alone. He first anchored a spatial coordinate here, then communicated with the spatial coordinate of Ellington's mansion. After that, he teleported back to the mansion's bedroom.
Alinx wasn't close to Ellington. This teleportation consumed a lot more mana than the previous one. After noticing the state of the mana pool, Tang En pursed his lips and decided to start building the teleportation circle when he returned.
He had left Ellington for half a month. During this time, the construction of Ellington had never stopped. Standing outside the bedroom window, Tang En was surprised to see that Ellington had changed. It had a brand new face.
The old streets had all disappeared and were replaced by neat blocks. The construction of the living area was almost complete. Dwarves could be seen bustling about on the streets.
The Dwarves and the residents of Ellington seemed to be familiar with each other. They worked together perfectly.
Tang En smiled. It seemed that Bryan didn't let him down.
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, Tang En found the head maid Tina standing at the door of his room in a daze. "When will my lord come back … Why didn't he bring me with him … Elsa doesn't know how to take care of people. How is my lord going to eat, wear, and live …"
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He bent his finger and flicked her forehead. "Tina … Am I that lazy?"
"My lord, he … My lord!?"
Tina came back to her senses and exclaimed while holding her forehead. "How, how — When did you come back!?"
"Something came up and I came back. Speaking of which, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who opens his mouth and opens his mouth?"
Tang En was annoyed. "I'm an adult, okay? I don't even know how to eat and wear clothes? "
"No, I didn't mean that!"
Tina blushed and lowered her head uneasily. She played with her fingers and muttered in a low voice, "I, I just think that this kind of thing should be done by me …"
"Okay, okay, this is a special situation … You go do your work. Is Fiona in the study?"
"Yes, Sister Fiona just came back from outside."
"Not bad, then you go do your work."
Tang En patted Tina's shoulder and said with a smile and went straight to the study.
"My lord …"
Tina touched her shoulder. It was as if the lord's temperature was still on it. Tina faintly felt weak all over when he patted her shoulder …
My lord obviously doesn't have that kind of thought. Tina, how can you think about it …
Calm down, you must calm down …
Tina covered her burning face. "I, I must be sick. Yes, yes, it must be so …"
When Tina came back to her senses, she was stunned again. "Didn't my lord go to the Imperial Capital? It's such a long journey, why did he come back? What's going on? "
When Tang En came to the study, Fiona was writing something with her head down.
Hearing the footsteps, Fiona said without raising her head, "If you want money, write a budget and give it to me. If you want supplies, write an application form and find Brian. If you want people, write a plan and find Abedon …"
Tang En looked at the busy Fiona with interest. It seemed that she was used to a busy life these days. Moreover, she managed Ellington's people very well. She was indeed from a merchant family.
Hearing no response, Fiona raised her head and was about to speak when she saw Tang En standing in front of her. She immediately widened her eyes. "Why are you back? According to the time, you should have just arrived in Alinx not long ago. "
"Well, something happened … I felt that it was necessary to come back to see you and talk to you."
Tang En casually picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. The tea brewed from the leaves of the World Tree was full of vitality and made people feel comfortable all over.
Seeing this, Fiona blushed.
That was her cup. How could the lord use such a personal thing so casually …
It was simply too rude …
Moreover, wasn't this an indirect kiss?
Did he not understand these things, or was he deliberately teasing her?
It was understandable if he did not understand, but if he was deliberately teasing her with the purpose of seeing her being silly and shy … Hahahaha …
Tang En was suddenly stunned. He seemed to see a layer of faint black gas appear behind Fiona, which disappeared after a blink of an eye.
Was it an illusion?
Tang En put down the cup and pondered for a moment. Then, he said, "The matter of the Royal Parliament has been settled. You don't have to worry."
"Is that so … That's great!"
Fiona heaved a sigh of relief. The message from the Royal Parliament to Tang En was like a heavy mountain pressing down on Fiona's heart. After hearing that it was settled, the mountain finally disappeared.
However, Fiona did not know that in Tang En's eyes, they were a bunch of clowns who were not worth mentioning.
"And … Hmm? What's this smell? "
Tang En was suddenly stunned.
Fiona smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell you later. Tell me what's the matter first."
"Other than this … Elsa is actually a member of the House of Foel."
"House of Foel … House of Foel!?"
Fiona's eyes widened. "That means Uncle Abedon —"
"That's right." Tang En nodded. "Abedon. Foel, Aubrey. Duke Foel's only child. "
Fiona suddenly felt that her brain was not working. The man she had been ordering around recently was actually the duke's child?!
"Wait! If he's the duke's child, why is he in Ellington?! "
"I don't know."
Tang En spread his hands. "Maybe Clairat is too weak, so she wants to find a beautiful place to recuperate … Oh, right, Clairat's full name is Clairat. Bolet, this is Adrien. Bolet's daughter. "
"Adrien. Bolet … "
Fiona gasped. "Duke Irus of Condemnation … Oh my god … What kind of monsters are around me …"
Tang En looked at her strangely. "Do you think you're so ordinary?"
Fiona was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Of course."
She was the orphan of a fallen merchant family. Compared to these people, she could not be more ordinary.
"Unfortunately, you're not ordinary …"
Tang En shrugged. "Aubrey and I made a deal. He gave me a shop that used to belong to the House of Rosa d 'Oro." If you like this work, you're welcome to donate.
