As Gerri, Londee, and Hughes had all entered the Ennes Academy, Harris decided to buy a mansion in the capital, Fenlai City, worth more than 500,000 gold coins. Although it was not considered luxurious, it was still much larger than an ordinary Earl's mansion.
Currently, the Baruch clan had over a million gold coins, and it wasn't a problem for them to spend half of their savings to provide better care and education for their sons. After all, their three sons would definitely become warriors of the ninth rank in the future, and might even reach the legendary Saint-level. Thus, even if they spent all of their savings, it wouldn't be a problem for the Harris couple!
The manor was located on a street not far from the palace, and the manor signboard had the words 'Marquis' Manor 'written on it. Harris had also handed over the ancestral business of Wushan township to the son of the Arderman, Ron, to manage. After all, the Arderman clan had served the Baruch clan for nearly a hundred years! Back then, Harris's grandfather had saved Alderman's father, and Alderman's father had sworn loyalty to Harris's grandfather because he had saved his life.
Before Harris's father died, he had given the majority of the Baruch family's businesses to Aardman to look after. After all, his son was a bit of a martial arts fanatic and didn't know much about certain businesses, so he had given them to Aardman to manage. Therefore, Harris had always been at ease cultivating and traveling the continent. Even in private, Harris would sometimes call Ahlman 'Uncle Ahlman'. As for the three Gerri brothers, they would directly call Ahlman' Grandpa Ahlman'. His son would also call him Uncle Ron!
As soon as Harris saw that Aardman had come from Wushan Town, he directly threw all the chores to Aardman to manage. He was so free that he went to the training field in the backyard to teach his three sons!
As soon as Aardman arrived at the Marquis 'Mansion, he started to buy more than ten slaves who were not even Level 3 Warriors from the slave market. He also transferred two of the three teams of guards from Wushan township to the Marquis' Mansion to protect the Marquis 'Mansion. He also bought seven to eight female slaves to serve Harris, Linda, and Gerri!
It cost more than 5,000 gold coins in total, but it was still very cost-effective because if he hired slaves and guards, he would have to spend dozens of gold coins a year. However, if he directly bought slaves, he only needed to spend more than 5,000 gold coins. In the future, he would only have to spend some food and clothing expenses every year.(In the Royal City of Finland, a slave's annual food cost about one gold coin, plus the purchase of necessary daily necessities, the total cost was three gold coins.)
One afternoon, a knight in white robes came knocking on the door of the mansion. Aardman went up to greet him with a smile and asked,""May I ask who you are?" The white-robed knight took out a letter and said,"Please give this letter and invitation to Marquis Harris. Today is Duke Papaluti's birthday. He has invited all the counts and above from the Kingdom of Finn to attend the banquet.""Of course, even His Majesty the King and the Red-robed Archbishop in charge of our kingdom will attend!”After saying that, he left the Marquis 'mansion and rode away quickly!
After reading the letter and invitation, Harris looked at his wife and said,"Linda, Duke Papaluti invited us to his birthday party!”Linda said,"Although I don't like these kinds of social events, my dear, after you become a Marquis, these kinds of social events are inevitable. Besides, it's also good to bring our children to get to know the higher-ups of the capital. After all, our Baruch clan still has to establish itself in the capital of Fenlai!”
Harris nodded and said to the three of them,""You guys should dress formally tonight!”"You must pay attention to the noble etiquette that I've given you at tonight's banquet. You must not disgrace our Baruch clan!"”"Yes, sir! Father!" The three brothers answered in unison.
At night, the ordinary families of the Yulan continent went to bed early, but the nobles had just begun. A carriage sped along Camphor Road, and Harris's group arrived before a luxurious duke's manor.
Harris was also holding a wand filled with Grade 3 magic nuclei. The top of the wand was embedded with a Grade 8 magic nucleus. This wand had been passed down by a senior of the Baruch family. After a long time, Linda had tested that there was not much magic power left in the magic nucleus. Even if she sold it, it would not sell for much gold coins. However, as a gift, it was still quite good. After all, the magic nucleus on the wand could be replaced, and the magic array engraved on it was quite technical!
Harris handed the gift and invitation to the butler of the Duke's Mansion. The butler shouted,"Lord Marquis Baruch has arrived! 50,000 gold coins and a grade-8 wand!”Many people turned to look at Harris and the others!
Duke Papaluti walked out with a smile and said,"I've been waiting for you for a long time! Marquis Baruch! I came here when your three sons were born!”
"Duke!" Harris also bowed slightly. We really haven't seen each other for a long time! You're still young and strong!" Harris complimented Duke Papaluti!
Harris said to the three brothers,""Hurry up! Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke!" The three brothers immediately bowed to Papaluti and said,""Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Lonti looked around and saw that many people were looking at them with hostile expressions. Duke Papaluti said very kindly,""Oh! Were these the three geniuses whose names shook the capital this year?”Harris, who was beside him, smiled and said,"No!" Where! How could a genius compare to your granddaughter?”Papaluti's granddaughter was only ten years old, but she was already a Grade 2 mage! Thinking back to when he was six years old, he had been tested to be a super class Light and medium class Wind Elemental, and his Spiritual Power had also become one of the few noble geniuses in the capital.
A hint of pride flashed across Papaluti's face. After all, his three sons were basically useless, and he only had one granddaughter among his grandchildren. Usually, he would brag to others about how amazing his granddaughter was. Harris had really hit the jackpot!
Duke Papaluti was also very happy, so he pulled the three of them to sit in the front row. Then, he instructed a few maids to take care of Harris and the others while he went to welcome the other guests!
Looking at the dishes on the table, Londee recalled that the Manchu Han Imperial Feast in her previous life was more than ten times better than the cuisines here. Londee was really not interested in these dishes! (The author complained,"You don't usually eat this!"”Londee curled her lips and said,"I'm eating something that the kitchen specially ordered to cook for me!”The author was instantly speechless.
