The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3518 Research on Cats and Dogs (Sixty-six)

It is extremely rare to find someone who has enough money to buy a house these days. So when Schiller called the real estate agent, the agent immediately said that he could take him to see the house right away.

Schiller agreed to meet at the door of the house. He wanted to drive around the neighborhood to see if the roads were easy to drive on and if there were any traffic jams.

But it turns out that it is impossible to avoid traffic jams in the city center, especially since this place is very central - it is only two minutes' drive from the most congested roundabout. Schiller was stuck in the street next to it for 20 minutes.

When he arrived at the door of the house, he saw that the agent had just arrived and seemed to have been stuck on another street for half an hour.

This made Schiller back off a bit. The house was good, but no one could stand the congestion.

The traffic jams caused by the chaotic traffic rules have been alleviated, but as the lives of Gotham residents have improved, the number of cars has also increased. Although the traffic management is not bad, it is still congested.

Gotham couldn't build a subway before, and although it is under construction now, it will take at least a year for Line 1 to be completed. Before that, the traffic jam situation will not improve.

Schiller sighed and decided that he should not go to the city center. Unless he could go shopping all over the street like Harley, going to work would be enough to make him suffer.

The agent was also embarrassed by the situation, but still tried hard to introduce the house.

The house is indeed nice. The wood used is dark oak, which is different from the white walls in terms of depth and lightness, showing a simplicity and brightness different from the Victorian style, while still having a touch of British elegance.

The floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows look even more amazing in person. The entire wall on the first floor of the front of the house is a large floor-to-ceiling window, but the counter is in a protruding corner on the other side, so the owner can enjoy the changes in light and shadow in the dark.

The four load-bearing columns in the store are also decorated like spires. The shelves for placing items are all ready-made, and they are arranged in an orderly manner at different heights, which is obviously carefully designed.

This magazine probably made a big bet when Gotham's economy was just starting to improve, planning to turn this place into a flagship store. Unfortunately, it was out of luck and closed down not long after the renovation.

The second floor has two offices and a bathroom, all of which are clean and bright, with harmonious and unified decoration styles. In the future, one office can be converted into a bedroom and the other into a study.

Schiller was very pleased with the house. But besides the traffic problem, the price was also a big problem.

Even in today's collapsed real estate market, this house is still sold for more money than when Schiller bought the Viscount's estate, and it's not just a little more expensive.

If Harry hadn't paid a high enough price for the manor, Schiller would never have been able to afford this house.

But this is normal. After all, there is nothing wrong with this house in all aspects, and the location is in the center of the center. If it is not expensive, the global real estate market will collapse.

Many people think that big villas and manors in the United States are very expensive, but in fact, it depends on the location. The prime locations in those big cities are of course expensive, but most of the locations are relatively remote and old, so the prices are not as high as imagined.

Especially for old houses with stone structures, it is difficult to sell them because they have to pay a lot of taxes when they are traded. And the owners have to pay a lot of property taxes every year. If they are eager to sell, they may keep the price very low.

To put it bluntly, in a country where land can be traded, land is truly valuable. Such a piece of prime land located in the center of a megacity can basically be called a family heirloom.

The more Schiller thought about it, the more excited he became. Although he had thought about creating some events to get a bargain, this method could only be used for non-hard-pass land. For prime land like this, the price would not drop no matter how many people died.

Shiller was not in a hurry to trade. After viewing the house, he returned to Gotham University, preparing for classes while thinking about the house.

Schiller can afford this house, so as long as he makes up his mind, he can get it directly. Then all that remains is to solve the traffic jam problem.

Schiller thought about it and realized that there was a solution. Although there was a traffic jam in the surface world of Gotham, there was no traffic jam in the inner world. He could just go directly to the inner world.

He could drive from his house in the city center to Gotham Academy of Magic in the other world, and then return to the surface world and return to Gotham University.

Thinking of Gotham Academy of Magic, Schiller couldn't help but think of what Sivana, who was also managing Gotham Academy of Magic, said. There were more and more graduates from the academy of magic, and many of them planned to stay in Gotham and build their own activity area in the other world, which seemed to be in the city center.

Thinking of this, Schiller stood up from his desk and decided to drive over to take a look.

I first entered the other world and took a look around the magic academy. It was still the same, except that there were a lot more students. Those children who were supposed to be magic apprentices and had magic talent all went to school here.

Schiller also saw Victor leading Billy to the office of Mrs. Shangdu. Now, many of these magic-side beings are stationed in the Magic Academy, responsible for the management and maintenance of the magic defense network.

Schiller drove in the other world and headed towards the city center. There was no traffic jam at all because the number of students in the magic academy, even if the graduates of several classes were added together, would not reach a fraction of the population of the outer world of Gotham.

Because of this, most of the other world is empty like a ghost town, with only the area near Gotham University being a bit lively.

The other world has basically achieved communism, because houses and land are free, and materials are basically unlimited. Except that the population is really too small, it can be regarded as an ideal form of human society.

Schiller also saw some non-human creatures on the road, such as elves, centaurs, and fairies. And the closer he got to the city center, the more non-human creatures he saw.

The world tree is in the center of the inner world's downtown disk, and the portals to Maia and other magical planes are located there. Many alien species come here to play.

Logically speaking, a newly opened magical space should be developed by a tribe immediately, but the major magical planes are also vast and sparsely populated. They are not as short of living space as humans, and they live well in their hometowns, so there is no need to move.

Although human cities look strange, they are not suitable for them to live in. So most of them just come for sightseeing.

As we got closer to the city center, we finally saw some people. The houses around the turntable were obviously inhabited, but they were different from the skyscrapers in the real world. They were all small buildings, looking like a medieval town.

After finding a place to park, Schiller entered the nearest alley and suddenly felt like he was strolling in Diagon Alley.

To be honest, this place is a bit like Diagon Alley. They sell all kinds of magic items, but they are not so orderly. Most of the shops sell everything, including human products - such as some books, clothes, metal products, and even guns; they also sell products brought by magical creatures, such as various leathers, scales and horns of creatures, and some magical materials.

Schiller walked around and found it quite strange. The currency used here is mithril, which seems to be an alchemical product of gold and silver, but in fact it is still gold in essence.

When he walked to the corner of the street, Schiller found that there was a currency exchange shop that accepted US dollars.

This is not surprising, magicians also have to live in the real world. For example, Constantine and Zatanna should come here to sell some things for money so that they won't starve to death.

After looking at the price of Mithril, Schiller thought it was okay. It was almost exactly half of today's gold price, and its purchasing power was quite strong, at least stronger than the US dollar.

After looking around, Schiller got some inspiration.

Many of the magic materials sold here are not just magic materials, or in other words, if you don't use magic to process them, they are not magic materials. They just look like some shiny stones or parts of unknown creatures.

Without any magical functions, it looks quite strange. For example, the horn of a unicorn, there is basically no horn of this shape in the real world; and the scales of an ichthyosaur, half a meter in diameter, sparkling, and look very cool.

Even without mentioning its role in the magical world, many people would be willing to buy it just to use it as a pendant.

There are also some roughly processed handicrafts brought by magical creatures, such as daggers cut from bones, paintings woven from certain plants, etc. When they come here to travel, they will bring some of these things to exchange for money.

Because such things are not as useful as raw materials in the magic world, the purchase price is very low. If converted, it is almost a few dozen dollars, or even a few dollars.

After all, many magical creatures have an infinite lifespan, and their time is not valuable; the raw materials used are everywhere and are not valuable either. They themselves do not think they can be sold at a high price, so the purchase price is naturally very low.

Schiller thought that he could buy such gadgets and sell them in the store as Gotham tourist souvenirs, which should sell well.

That's right, Schiller decided to open a tourist souvenir shop, but it only sells some strange and weird things from the magic world. If the shop is well decorated, it should attract a lot of people.

Schiller didn't expect to make a lot of money, he would be satisfied if he could earn enough from the annual property tax.

But of course he couldn't be here to watch the store. Schiller looked at his phone and realized that his new home didn't need a housekeeper, and his housekeeper was about to come back, so it was time to find him a new job.

But before that, he had to find Pamela to add a layer of protection to all the decorative plants in the store and the plant products that might need to be purchased to prevent Merkel from buying them all out.
