Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 58 Family Industry

There are two core urban areas in the City of Stars. One is the Xingyue City area where the Holy See headquarters is located. The complex of buildings occupying a huge area is comparable to some small cities.

Blue Lake City may be about the same size as Xingyue City, but it is far less prosperous. Many people are also accustomed to calling Xingyue City the teaching city.

The other area is the gathering place for nobles including the royal palace, and the Xingcai City District with the same name as the city. Of course, people are more accustomed to calling this area the Uptown District, and this name makes it clearer and simpler.

Patrolling Kingdom soldiers can be seen everywhere in Xingcai City, while in Xingyue City there are Judgment Knights.

The two urban areas are like two countries that do not interfere with each other, each exercising its own rules.

But that's what the royal capital is like, and the royal power seems to be respected to a certain extent. In other cities, the mayor is just a decoration. Who can sit in the mayor's position also depends on the face of the person in charge of the local cathedral.

In addition to Xingcai City, many nobles have their own properties on the edge of Xingcai City, and even in the suburbs outside the city.

The area of ​​Xingcai City is limited, and the size and size of houses are strictly limited. The residences of nobles cannot exceed the palace. But outside the city, there is no such concern. Luxurious residences can show one's status.

Of course, this rule basically became a joke after the two-hundred-meter-high observatory next door was built.

In addition, these mansions outside the city can also be used for some shady things, such as hoarding large assets of unknown origin, or hiding treasures in golden houses.

The girl's exquisite figure outlines a seductive arc. Although it is far less oppressive than Rosalind's, it is still particularly pleasing to the eye.

Iris blended in naturally and began to direct the work of these maids.

The maids who arrived first have already started tidying up the house. Due to frequent cleaning, the workload is not large. This house only needs to add some daily necessities before you can move in directly.

Iris knew that the time had come for her to show off, and the girl who cheered up began to slowly introduce the situation of the Augustman family to Li Xun.

"I...I'm not trembling. The young master is not a scary being. I am just that..."

"When will you stop trembling in front of me and say such words again?"

"Really? Why didn't I see it?"

"The eldest son of the master is in the watch business. Compared with the gorgeous diamond jewelry, watches and pocket watches with complex craftsmanship have become new status symbols. A watch made by a top master can sell for a sky-high price of tens of thousands of gold coins.

.”

The mansion where the sacrifice was held was not outside the city, but in a remote place in the corner of the Star City.

"The second young master runs a factory, producing mechanical parts and luxury goods such as car pianos. Nowadays, in the capital of stars, mechanical creations have become more and more popular, and they are also a symbol of noble status."

"The eldest young lady is selling cosmetics and clothes, but it's just for fun and not serious. The second young lady is still young and has not taken over the family business yet."

From people's livelihood to military use, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to new technologies, the shadow of the Augustman family can be seen everywhere.

Whether it is dark or bloody, she is not uncommon. She is not the kind of little girl who is ignorant of the world.

"Master, are you looking down on me? As the deacon of the Augustman family, I am not a little girl who will be frightened to this extent!"

"Well, speaking of it, I have never held an adult ceremony. By the way, Iris, how old are you?"

Looking at the dejected and somewhat lost girl, Li Xun smiled and sipped the black tea in the cup again.

"How old is the second young lady?"

When Li Xun arrived here, he found that there were two houses of similar size and type around the mansion, but they were already empty and there was no trace of human activity.

He moved a little closer to the girl, who immediately shrank her neck in fear.

As a thousand-year-old family and a duke of the kingdom, the Augustman family's industry is naturally huge.

After talking about Augustman's family business, Iris introduced the situation of Mochier's children.

As a residence, this three-story mansion was impeccable, but Li Xun still couldn't imagine how nearly a hundred people died in this mansion.

Like a child who was excited about moving, Iris walked past with a cheerful smile on her face, holding a cup of black tea.

"Yes, Master, I will explain it to you now."

And I remember that Teacher Rosalind once said that the scenes at the scene were so tragic that she didn't even see any traces.

"The third young master opened casinos, prostitutes, and loaned money in Xiacheng District. He was in charge of many gray industries in the family. But I think that the third young master is the one that the master is most optimistic about. Not many aristocratic families with thousands of years are clean. These gray industries

Someone has to take over the business, and this is part of the family."

Isn't this a three-story building, from top to bottom, every place is fully paved?

"Before dinner, talk to me about the existing properties of the Augustman family. I can choose one of them to take over, right?"

Iris couldn't help but raise her head and chest out, wanting to prove to Li Xun that she was not a flower vase, but that she had real qualities and was actually very capable.

After hearing what happened, Li Xun was even a little confused, because the Augustman family had so many properties that he didn't know what to choose.

"I'm seventeen years old, and I haven't held a coming-of-age ceremony yet."

Li Xun took the tea cup, which was made of gold and jade and could be called a work of art, and took a sip of the black tea in the cup. He felt that the taste was mellow, had a long history, and had a unique flavor.

"You don't look scared at all. You must know that more than a hundred people have died here. I'm afraid it can be regarded as the top haunted house."

Li Xun, on the other hand, walked around the mansion, trying to find the remnants related to the accident that year.

The physical reaction was so loyal that Iris' words of defense seemed extremely feeble.

"Master, dinner will be ready soon."

"Hey... I... Master, it is very rude to ask a girl's age like this!"

Iris opened her mouth a little coquettishly, and the expression on her face looked a little embarrassed.

Because she suddenly realized that the young master in front of her was actually only eighteen years old, much younger than herself.

When she thought about how she had cried bitterly in front of the other party before, and even now when she looked at the other party, her legs were still weak, Iris couldn't help but feel particularly ashamed.
