Fortune Of Lifetimes

Chapter 5 - House Hunting

Waking up Ren decided that it would be best if he rented his own place considering the fact that he had so many items that he didn't want anyone to know about and the fact that he was about to start making medicinal items he didn't want anyone to come in a distract him.

After thinking it over he decided the best option would be to have a look around for a place to rent before he bought the herbs that he needed so that he knew what he could afford.

Going to a real estate shop he asked an attended to show him some houses for rent, with a suspicious glance the attendant asked him if he had enough money for renting a house, after showing him the gold and making up and excuse saying that his grandfather asked him to look for a new house to stay in while his was being repaired.

After seeing the gold the attendant became more respectful after all giving gold to a child to spend on a place to rent is very extravagant. Asking for how long he would need the place and finding out two months or potentially more the attendant asked someone to prepare a horse and carriage, although they were in a poor part of the city the real estate shop was just a branch of another larger shop.

Travelling for a few hours they finally arrived at an estate that was acceptable with a decent amount of land and not many houses near, saying that it would cost 4 gold for 2 months and a deposit of 3 gold in case of damages. Although he could afford the cost it still left a dent in Renato's wallet however if all went according to his plans he wouldn't be worrying about money for the foreseeable future unless some problems occur.

Paying the money and signing two contracts one for him and one for the attendant he handed the agent a silver piece as a tip which was a significant one for someone who lived in such a poor area this could feed his family for months after which Renato asked him to take him back so he could make his arrangements to move houses.

When they arrived the attendant sent Renato off politely, after returning to the estate agents the attendant was all smiles while the rest of the attendants had a hint of envy in their eyes, after all, selling an expensive house would get them a good commission little did they know that he got more from a single tip then he would from the commission.

After arriving back at the orphanage he went to see the owner, after having a chat and telling her that an eccentric old man saw him and Damon cleaning he offered him a room at his estate and offered to pay him and feed him, seeing such an opportunity that he couldn't turn it down after he returned here to tell the owner and to say thank you handing here 2 gold pieces she tried to turn it down multiple times, however, Ren forced her to take it after all she had taken care of him and his brother and because she is truly a good person. With tears rolling down her face she gave Ren a hug and told him that if he ever needed a place to stay he could always stay there.

When he returned to his room he saw Damon there waiting for him to get back, after seeing him he asked: "Brother where have you been?".

"Haha brother I have got some good news, pack your stuff while I go get a horse and carriage, I just went and rented a house for us to stay in," said Ren whilst smiling.

"Really?! Where is it brother?" said Damon with excitement clear in his voice.

"Just wait and see" replied Ren mysteriously.

After going around trying to find a horse carriage and a driver that would work for them for 5 silver a month and a place to stay he found someone called Matt who agreed to the deal, after loading up their stuff into a carriage they headed off. 15 minutes later they arrived at a vast estate after jumping out and bringing all their stuff to the house Ren gave the driver two months payment and showed him the servant quarters, going to his new home for the next two months the driver put his horses into the small stables and parked up the carriage.

Going into the massive house Damon couldn't help but run around the house looking in all the rooms, almost forgetting that they where still young Ren couldn't help but shake his head, after all, he could contain most of his emotions because of his memories and experiences of multiple life times.

Looking at the vile of rebirth fruit juice he knew that it still wasn't a good time to give it to Damon after all he was still young and couldn't be counted on to keep his mouth quite about it after all a child's mouth is unhindered even if he didn't have malicious intentions he couldn't take such a risk after all if it where to leak out he had no doubt that it would be his last day on earth.

"Choose your room Damon ill start cooking some food, for us"

After cooking the marinated spirit deer stake, he cut it into three portions as well as frying up some ch.i.p.s and sprinkling salt on them he gave one to Damon and walked out of the house to the servant quarter handing over a meal to the driver.

"Matt, i just chucked this together for me and my friend and had some left over feel free to eat it"

"Youngster Ren, you didn't have to do this. Thank you" he replied. Although he was sure it wouldn't taste great he still accepted it after all he didn't want to be rude to his employer. Chuckling Ren walked back to the house.

After shutting the door Matt's eyes widened after all before when the door was open the wind was blowing away the smell of the meal. Just seconds later he could control himself and started to cut the stake with his mouth-watering, taking a bite he could help but m.o.a.n out. "Oh my gosh I've never tasted something so amazing, just who is that youngster"

After going back into the house he was greeted by Damon stuffing his mouth, talking with his mouth open he said: "Ren this is even nicer than the squirrel you cooked before".

"of course it is, this is the meat of a spirit beast although I couldn't make it with qi still in it because we haven't started cultivating yet just wait when we have the chance ill show you what a truly divine taste is haha"

Once the two where finished Ren was about to go wash up when there was a knock on the door, opening it he was greeted by Matt standing there with respect written all over his face.

"Youngster Ren, I have never tasted something so great I had to come and thank you for giving the lowly me the chance to taste it," he said bowing slightly. After he said this he insisted on cleaning up all the plates and cutlery.
