élysée Gardens Street has a carriage ne wide enough to aodate sixteen rows of carriages side by side, with pedestrian paths over five meters wide on both sides. From any angle, one see the magnifit Glorious Gate.

  The Glorious Gate is located at the ter of élysée Gardens Street, a divine wonder bestowed upon Strasb by the Glorious Lord, one of the nine Great Deities.

  It is a square-shaped structure, with four archways opening in four dires.

  The Glorious Gate is famous for a particur miracle: aering it will randomly exit through one of the four doors, not the one leading directly forward.

  It is said that the dire in whie exits indicates the best luck for the day.

  In addition to the hard-to-ignlorious Gate, there are numerous shops lining both sides of élysée Gardens Street, with a few that feature high-level alchemical creations. These shops dispy expensive, eye-popping crystal gss that showcases luxurious goods to every passerby.

  Aside from this street, there is no other p the Empire with suoise and bustle.

  Annie Bretagne smiled lightly and said, "To number 58!"

  The carriage rumbled along élysée Gardens Street for a short distance before turning into a small alley.

  It would be inaccurate to call it a small alley, as it was wide enough to aodate twes side by side.

  The alley wasn’t long, and the carriage soon came to the end, where stood a three-story detached house. In front of it was a small square that could park five or six carriages, with arance door and a few steps leading up. On the side was a gate rge enough for carriages, giving the building an imposing appearance.

  A off the carriage, and Charlot could only follow.

  He watched as Annie pressed a button, causing the building’s front door to open automatically. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

  Charlot khis was a basic alchemical spell, called Log Magic.

  He didn’t expeeone like Annie Bretagne, a noble dy, to have mastered such a spell.

  Thinking back to the meical beetle that had been trag Mr. Yanmills, Charlot gained a new uanding of Annie Bretagne.

  Annie pushed open the rge door and walked in, giving Charlot a slight smile as she introduced him to the house. "This house was retly ied by a distaive of mine. He found the ercial atmosphere here to, the oo much, and wao sell it."

  "You know, the shops along élysée Gardens Street are always in high demand, but residential properties are less popur, so the price is not high."

  "My retive is asking for two hundred écus, but I know he’s in urgent need of money and would accept one hundred fifty écus."

  Charlot thought to himself, "My entire fortune is oy écus. Is this the price I afford? Did Miss Bretagne misuand my financial situation, or is she not sensitive to the numbers?"

  It seemed Annie kly what Charlot was thinking. She raised an eyebrow and said, "He accepts installment payments. You move in with a down payment of just fifty écus."

  "I even persuade him to waive the i on the installments."

  Charlot followed Annie around the first floor and found that he liked the house.

  The first floor had a very rge ba hall. Perhaps in the eyes of nobility, this ba hall might be sidered modest, as it could only aodate a small ball of up to fifty people. But to Charlot, who had crossed over from Earth, this hall was absurdly rge. It en and unobstructed, with three to four hundred square meters, slightly smaller than a standard basketball court, but rge enough for a half-came.

  This wasn’t eveire first floor. There was also a reception room, a dining room, and two studies. On the side of the dining room, there was a staircase leading to the basement. Acc to Fars Empire s, the basement would iably have a kit and ste rooms.

  As for the staircase leading to the upper floors, it was pletely separate from the one leading to the basement, located on the side of the ba hall.

  Charlot thought, "A house this big could never be bought for two or three million ba Earth, not even in the tryside."

  "Moreover, it allows installment payments with no i. The seller is practically the most charitable person I’ve met since crossing over."

  "But where will I get the remainiy écus?"

  "With my thirty-seven rank civil servant sary and six flor plus fifteeimes weekly, how long will it take to pay this off?"

  After a few seds of mental calcution, Charlot suddenly realized something.

  With his sary as a civil servant, he could probably pay off the house in uhree years!

  This repayment period was less than a tenth of what he had expected oh.

  Charlot couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "It’s true that transmigrants are always the main characters!"

  "Praise the Glorious Lord."

  "And praise Miss Bretagne."

  He posed himself and said, "My weekly sary is only six flor. Do you think the seller would accept a long payment period?"

  Annie Bretagne chuckled and said, "Of course, no problem. Anyone who pay off the house within ten years would be sidered a good buyer."

  "However..."

  "Mr. Meburg, you’ve already reached the thirty-seven rank as a civil servant? You look like you just graduated not long ago."

  Charlot smiled faintly and said, "Two years ago."

  Annie Bretagne gasped, her eyes glistening and her cheeks slightly flushed, further enhang her fondness for him.

  A young talent who could rise to the thirty-seven rank in two years was clearly more charismatic than the average civil servant, who would o wait three years for a promotion.

  This house was quite "old," weathered by time yet still sturdy. In the Fars Empire, hundreds of years-old buildings were on. A house with age would not lose its value but would instead bee a point of pride, admired for its long history.

  Charlot didn’t bother cheg the sed and third floors. After firming a few details with Annie, he took out ten fifty-flor bills from the proceeds of selling his multi-headed fil and hahem to the young dy.

  Annie called for the an and gave him instrus before he drove away.

  Although the house was occasionally ed, it still had a thin yer of dust and wasn’t suitable for long stays.

  Charlot, ever the gentleman, suggested they go for coffee nearby.

  Annie readily agreed.

  élysée Gardens Street would never ck tastefully decorated cafés. Although few nobles visited, the cafés were frequented by the Empire's literary figures, artists, sculptors, musis, and even orators. Many cafés had bee famous due to the works and stories of these renowned personalities.

  Charlot led Ao a café not far away, only a few dozeers from number 58, called the Cat and Four-Leaf Clover Café.

  This world had many things simir to Earth, such as felines. However, the domestic cats in this world were not as numerous or varied as Earth’s, nor had they been bred into various attractive breeds.
