“These areas should meet your requirements, Sir Knight.”

The man in charge of the guild’s real estate department pointed at a few spots in Labyrinth City.

There were three options: a former mercantile on the main street near the nobles’ gate, a studio space in the artisan district, and a house said to have been used by a noble’s lover.

“The house in the nobles’ quarters will be the most secure, but that place is under the jurisdiction of the viceroy’s office, so you would have to go through them.”

I read over the piece of paper containing information on the three spaces.

The former mercantile was far away from the west guild, and the workshop would be near the unpleasant-smelling butcheries and leather workshops. That left the former lover’s home by process of elimination.

It was a little small, but we would be using it only as a relay point to the Ivy Manor, so that wasn’t a big deal.

“Hey, what about this place?”

Arisa was looking at a file in a stack that the clerk had put aside.

Glancing over the information, I saw that it was a noble’s former vacation house, close to the farms and fields. It was cheap, too. However, due to it being empty for more than ten years, the process of renting it might be a little complicated.

“I-I’m afraid there are certain circumstances regarding that particular location…”

The clerk explained that there was a curse on the noble who originally built the house, and even the highest-ranking priests in the area couldn’t undo it.

“That’s quite a curse.”

“Yes, it’s said it was left by the Undead King who brought down the Muno Marquisate.”

Zen?!

I remembered the skull-faced man who was Nana’s former master and who had once kidnapped Mia.

“Then was the former owner of that house…?”

“Yes, he was the nephew of Marquis Muno… I have heard that all the residents of the home were found dead in a frightful mummified state.”

The people who next lived in the house were discovered on the verge of death, as well.

The curse even affected the surrounding area, impacting the health of everyone living nearby, until finally the house was surrounded by nothing but empty homes and unused land.

“There were no problems with the farm behind it, but since it was next to a cursed house, they had difficulty selling any dairy or meat.”

That’s some serious rumor power.

According to my map, the house in question did seem to have a pretty serious curse on it.

Most likely, it was the same kind of curse as the one that was on the basement of Muno Castle.

“All right. I’ll take it.”

“You cannot be serious!”

“Yes, I am. As a vassal of Baron Muno, I cannot simply stand by and let a house with a connection to the Muno family fall to a curse.”

The clerk tried to dissuade me, but one of his managers came along and boomed at him to make up the contract.

“Sir Pendragon, would you like to buy the surrounding empty land and houses as well? This would be the total price for the lot of them.
