"What do you mean by an unknown person?" The old butler's description immediately piqued Connor's interest.
He squinted his eyes and said, "It's the first time an unknown person has appeared in Flosinone, and his identity can't be traced. People like this are common in the various provinces of the empire. I don't think it's a big deal, but the old master values it very much. He even asked me to give this ring to you, young master …" Old butler Martinez said with confusion. It seemed that he didn't know why old Ferguson would do this.
Hearing the old butler's words, Connor didn't show anything on his face, but he was a little surprised. Although the household registration system existed in this world, it wasn't perfect. In addition, although the city of Flosinone wasn't very big, it still had nearly a million permanent residents. Old butler Martinez was right. It wasn't a big deal to have an unknown person appear in Flosinone for the first time in Flosinone.
Connor clearly remembered that in order to reduce labor costs and gain more benefits, some factory and farm owners in Flosinone liked to hire unregistered residents, or some Odin and Bossis people who admired the prosperity of the Kaman Empire and came to work in the farms and factories. In short, it was very normal for unknown people to appear in Flosinone.
"Young master Connor, the rent for your apartment is about to expire, right? Here's a thousand pounds. The old master asked me to give it to you. " Just when Connor was lost in confusion, Butler Martinez looked up and scanned the furnishings in Connor's apartment. He then solemnly took out a thick stack of hundred-pound notes and one-pound notes from his pocket and handed it to Connor.
Looking at the stack of notes in front of him, Connor was more or less touched. From his memory, he knew that the Ferguson family's financial situation wasn't ideal. A thousand pounds was definitely a huge expense for the Ferguson family.
After pondering for a moment, Connor did not refuse Ferguson's kindness to his son. He took the thick stack of money from Butler Martinez.
Perhaps it was because the money was not easy to come by. After handing the money to Connor, the old butler hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Connor, "Young Master, save this money!"
"I understand. I won't waste it!" Connor nodded with a smile. The old steward's words made him even more certain that the financial situation of the Ferguson family wasn't that great.
"Young Master, I've completed the task that Old Master gave me. I'll take my leave first. There are still many things waiting for me at home!" After speaking, the old butler stood up from the sofa and turned to leave the apartment.
"Wait! Old steward, please wait! "Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Connor hurriedly asked the old steward, who had worked hard and performed many meritorious deeds, to leave.
"Young Master Connor, is there anything else?" Butler Martinez's cloudy eyes looked at Connor in confusion. He didn't know why Connor stopped him.
"It's nothing much. I just want to trouble you to stay here for the night. We'll set off for our hometown tomorrow. I wish to buy some Loen specialties, so I'll have to trouble you to bring them back to Father!" Connor said with a smile.
"Young Master, you …" Butler Martinez seemed to be very surprised by Connor's words. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, he looked at Connor with relief and said, "Okay, okay! I'll stay here for a night and return to my hometown tomorrow! "
After arranging for the old butler to stay in the guest room of the apartment, Connor walked out of the apartment and stopped a taxi on the busy Lander Street.
"Eastern suburbs!"
Connor said to the coachman as he walked into the carriage. Hearing the address, the coachman nodded, then quickly raised his whip and urged the horse to rush to the eastern suburbs of Loen.
Half an hour later, Connor, who had arrived at the eastern suburbs in the carriage, casually threw a one shilling note to the coachman and got out of the carriage with the coachman's gratitude. Connor walked a little further to the east. When he could vaguely see a familiar manor, Connor shook his black robe and turned into a middle-aged man with brown hair and sword-like eyebrows. After observing his disguise, Connor nodded with satisfaction and rushed to Meazza Manor.
Walking into Meazza Manor with familiarity, Connor handed the red-robed masked man a ten-pound note and successfully entered Meazza Manor. Today's auction.
Connor had long been aware of the auction list for Meazza Manor. As there wasn't anything he wanted, Connor didn't plan on coming. However, his plans couldn't keep up with the changes. Connor didn't expect that old butler Martinez would come looking for him from Flosinone and even give him a thousand pounds.
Although this thousand pounds wasn't of much use to Connor, Connor could feel the kindness of the Ferguson family for pooling a thousand pounds for him despite their poor financial situation. Connor didn't wish to owe anyone a favor, much less sign a favor from the Ferguson family!
Therefore, the moment Connor received the thousand pounds from old butler Martinez, Connor had already decided to return this favor to the Ferguson family.
Connor planned to raise some money for the Ferguson family to ease their financial situation. Although Connor had some money in his wallet, that money was for his own use. Ever since coming to this world, Connor had been pursuing a better quality of life. Moreover, as a Magus, money wasn't the number one pursuit, so he had always been extravagant with his spending. His personal expenses weren't small either. Therefore, if he wanted to raise money for the Ferguson family without affecting his own expenses, Connor would have to sell some things. This was also the reason why Connor came to Meazza Manor at this time.
Today's auction in Meazza Manor was hosted by the descendant of Odin, Mr. Arazov, whom Connor had seen when he first came here. Since Connor had been to Meazza Manor many times, he more or less had some understanding of Meazza Manor. Meazza Manor's auction had a total of three hosts, including Mr. Arazov. Two men and one woman were all advanced Apprentice Magi. As for Mr. Arazov, he was the one who hosted Meazza Manor's auction the most frequently.
