A male colleague of Scott's took Roger to tour the first floor of number 4 Narcissus Street.
There was a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a washroom.
Of course, there was also the underground storage room and the garden outside, as mentioned in the previous information.
Roger was very satisfied with this—although there was an extra guest room, considering the overall cost-effectiveness and the possibility of potential guests coming to visit and stay temporarily in the future, he could accept it.
Finally, after some bargaining with the employees of the "Tingen City Housing Improvement Company," he rented this floor for a weekly rent of 6 Sol and a furniture usage fee of 10 Pennies.
Of course—he didn't forget to visit his upstairs neighbor, Mrs. Wilson, a young wife of a sailor, who had two young children, a boy and a girl.
According to Mrs. Wilson, her husband seemed to be a sailor serving the Church of Storms, often at sea, and would return once a month, around the middle of the month.
"The 'sailors' of the Church of Storms... They do have a lot of 'Wilsons'."
Roger was making a guess to himself.
He didn't have much luggage with him, only a bag of documents, belongings, and spiritual materials, so he could basically move in with just a bag.
The only troublesome thing was that it took him nearly two hours to clean up the underground storage room.
The soundproofing here was very good, and it was unexpectedly clean, with only some sundries left by the previous tenants, so it wasn't too much trouble to clean up.
Roger moved out everything he didn't need and threw it away, leaving only a wooden table, some candles, and some metal tools like wrenches.
"This can be used as a studio in the future, and a small altar can also be set up here."
He patted the dust on his hands, feeling very satisfied.
"Bang bang bang."
At this moment, Roger heard the door of the house being knocked.
"Guests so soon?"
He guessed as he went upstairs and opened the door.
The people standing outside were Klein and Brother Benson, who said they had come specifically to visit their neighbor.
"Please come in, welcome."
Roger smiled and invited the two to enter, and then introduced the furnishings of the new home.
"The layout is similar to ours, so it seems that the row houses on Narcissus Street all use the same design drawing."
Benson looked around and nodded slightly.
Considering the overall cost of housing development, this was a more common design scheme in Tingen.
After the three of them talked about recent current events, including the latest election results of the Loen Kingdom Parliament and the latest news of the ironclad battleships, Klein finally couldn't hold back and looked at Roger with burning eyes.
"Mr. Bonway, I don't think your accent is from Tingen City. May I ask, Your Excellency, where are your ancestors from?"
Previously, at the "Tingen City Housing Improvement Company," Roger deliberately used three fingers pinched together to indicate "7."
In Huaxia, although not all regions would use this gesture to represent "7," it was enough to be conspicuous compared to most places in the Loen Kingdom, which would use a bent index finger to indicate this number.
So Roger had expected Klein to ask this question to rule out the possibility that he was from outside the Loen Kingdom.
He calmly replied:
"To be honest, my hometown is in the east, in a small town near Pritz Port in the Backlund area."
He emphasized the word "east."
Roger believed that Klein would definitely be curious about this emphasis.
Sure enough, the latter immediately showed a thoughtful expression after hearing this sentence, but he couldn't ask because Benson was present.
"It's getting late. We've troubled you today, Mr. Bonway. We'll get together again another day."
Benson glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall and stood up first.
Seeing this, Klein could only temporarily suppress his urge to continue talking with Roger and also politely bid him farewell.
"The preliminary plan has been achieved. Next, we only need to wait for Klein to become a Beyonder of the 'Diviner' pathway, so that we can have more opportunities to communicate in the 'Divination Club'."
Considering that the advancement on the Gou Sanjia pathway would allow Klein to deepen his use of the Source Fortress's abilities, he could then find a way to have Klein invite him to join the Tarot Club.
In the next two days, Roger would find opportunities to train Bandit's various skills, including going to the toilet on the toilet and finding food to eat from the cabinet.
It has to be said that the cat, after taking the potion, learned things very quickly.
Although it still couldn't speak, the "Apprentice"'s ability to pass through walls allowed it to avoid many problems that cat owners would face—such as knocking over or knocking down vases or dishes on the table.
"Speaking of which, today is Saturday. I can consider going to the 'Divination Club' to take some divination commissions and look for Hynes Vincent."
After eating breakfast, Roger took a special bath and dressed up. After confirming that his image was fine, he put Bandit on his shoulder and took it out the door.
"Good morning, Lady Angelica."
Roger saw the receptionist at the club, took off his wide-brimmed hat, and smiled and greeted her.
"Good morning, Mr. Bonway."
Angelica also greeted him, and then suddenly showed an expression as if she remembered something, and said:
"By the way, didn't I ask you about my younger brother last time? His company received a new investment and has already paid off its debts."
Her tone was very excited:
"Not only that, the investor helped him find a new distributor for a product, and it is expected that a cooperation agreement will be signed soon. You are a remarkable Diviner!"
Roger heard this and chuckled: "That's good. Please say hello to your family for me. By the way, is Mr. Hynes Vincent here today?"
"Ah, yes, he is. He is sharing his insights on astrolabe divination in the parlor inside. You can listen in."
Angelica enthusiastically led Roger, and the two came to a small hall where many people were sitting.
On the rostrum at the head, there was a middle-aged man wearing a black classical robe, with stiff, dense brown hair standing up like a hedgehog, pointing at the astrolabe on the blackboard and explaining the knowledge related to celestial body symbols.
This was Hynes Vincent.
When Roger walked in, everyone, including Hynes, immediately turned their heads to look at him.
Knowing that this was the passive characteristic of the "Attention Seeker" at work, Roger showed a calm smile, nodded to them, and then found an empty seat and sat down, listening to Hynes's sharing.
Hynes spoke for a while, and suddenly said to Roger:
"This gentleman with the cat, I see that you also have a Diviner's cufflink. Do you know astrolabe divination?"
"To be honest, I know a little." Roger smiled and nodded slightly.
There will be another update later.
