Chapter 480: Jerry's House Hunt (Second Update)
Chapter 480: Jerry's House Hunt (Second Update)
"How come they both seem to be smiling with a hint of mischief!"
Lucy, standing nearby, noticed that both Makarov and Jerry were smiling so happily and whispered a complaint to Mira.
She wasn't envious that Jerry had become a guild employee right away. After all, her dream was to become a mage of the Fairy Tail guild and take on missions for adventure.
If she became a guild employee, it would be no different from being locked up at home by her father.
On the other side, the mages in the hall noticed that the tables and chairs had been restored to their original state by Jerry's Magic, and they all gathered around out of curiosity.
When they learned that Jerry's Magic was the Lost Magic, Arc of Time, they let out a chorus of exclamations.
However, upon learning that Jerry had become a guild employee and would help solve the problem of frequently damaged public property, they celebrated with joy.
In this joyful atmosphere, Jerry and Lucy were both branded with the Fairy Tail guild's exclusive emblem by Mira.
After becoming an official mage of Fairy Tail, Jerry didn't stay in the guild like Lucy. Instead, he left the guild, citing the need to familiarize himself with the surroundings.
Since he planned to stay in this guild for the long term, he definitely needed a fixed residence. Mira had mentioned that most of the guild's mages rented houses in Magnolia, and some with better income had already bought homes.
So, he decided to look for a place to live near the guild.
Of course, buying a house was secondary. The most important thing was to visit the Magic shops in the city to see if he could find any Magic books and some useful Magic items.
As the largest Magic commercial center in the Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia had the most Magic shops and the most comprehensive selection of Magic items.
His original plan to choose this city as his first stop was not primarily because of the Fairy Tail guild, but rather because of its reputation as a Magic commercial hub.
"Is there such a young mage in the guild?"
Just as he left the guild's main gate, Jerry saw a child push the door open and walk in. However, he didn't pay too much attention and simply muttered a comment before continuing with his shopping plan.
Following Mira's advice, he first found the real estate agency on the east side and reported that he was a new mage of the Fairy Tail guild.
Soon, a sweet-looking staff member came forward to greet him.
As the strongest mage guild in the kingdom and the only mage guild in this Magic commercial center, the Fairy Tail mage identity still held some weight in the city.
"Mr. Mage, do you have any specific requirements for the housing you want to buy?"
The female staff member asked with a smile.
Jerry thought for a moment and replied:
"Nothing special, just that it should be close to the guild!"
The appearance of the house didn't matter much to him. After all, he planned to make significant modifications to it once he got it. The important thing was that it should be close to the guild, making it convenient for him to seek Magic guidance from the guild master, who had promised to teach him Magic. He intended to make full use of this opportunity.
Actually, with his Spatial Magic, the location of the house wasn't a big issue. However, if the guild needed to find him, it would be inconvenient if he lived too far away.
"Um... Okay!"
The female staff member was slightly surprised by Jerry's simple requirements. After all, for a mage, buying a house in a Magic commercial center was no small matter, especially for a new mage. However, she clapped her hands and began to use her Magic.
A Magic array quickly appeared in the hands of the female real estate agent, and one by one, houses that met Jerry's requirements appeared before his eyes.
"Truly the capital of Magic commerce; even a real estate agent can perform a bit of Magic!"
Jerry couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
After all, in Hargeon, the port city, he had walked around for a while and hadn't seen a single ordinary person who could use Magic.
In fact, this wasn't particularly surprising. In a city like this, buying Magic books and learning some basic Magic wasn't too difficult.
Therefore, in most cities, many ordinary people knew some Magic. However, those who could actually use Magic in combat and become guild mages were few and far between.
The profession of a mage, while lucrative, was also very dangerous. One could easily lose their life on a mission, and not everyone was willing to take that risk.
Many ordinary people learned Magic just to make their lives and work easier.
For example, the female real estate agent in front of him had learned Illusion Magic to help clients see detailed house information in the office, eliminating the need to visit each property in person. This saved time and greatly increased the closing rate.
"This one will do!"
After a quick glance, Jerry casually picked a two-story cottage.
In this world, there were no skyscrapers; all houses were similar to small cottages.
"Too hasty!"
The female agent muttered to herself but continued to smile as she asked, "Would you like to pay in installments or in full?"
"In full, how much?"
Jerry answered without hesitation.
"A total of 1.5 million!"
The agent's eyes lit up.
"Here!"
Jerry casually took out 1.5 million in cash from his Ring Space and placed it on the table. To the agent, it didn't seem like he was handing over 1.5 million, but rather 1.5 coins.
This made the agent wonder if mages really made that much money and whether she should quit her job and apply to Fairy Tail.
However, she quickly shook off this unrealistic thought. She knew her limits, and mages were the profession with the highest annual death rate in the kingdom. It was too risky.
"Alright, Mr. Jerry. We'll contact the current owner and complete the necessary procedures. The process should take about two hours, and you'll be able to move in after that!"
"I have other matters to attend to. You can handle the rest. Consider this extra payment. I'll come back for the keys in two hours. Is that alright?"
Jerry pulled out another 100,000 and placed it on the table.
He wanted to go shopping for Magic items, not waste two hours on formalities.
Sometimes, when money can solve a problem, why waste time?
"Of course, no problem. Please go about your business; I'll take care of everything!"
The agent quickly agreed, fearing that Jerry might change his mind and take the money back.
Earning three months' salary in just two hours was a no-brainer; she wouldn't refuse such an offer!
