Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 4 Rose Manor (Part 2)

Following Christine approaching the Rose Manor, the first thing you see is the lush hillside.

The Rose Manor located on the hillside is mainly divided into three parts. The outermost part is the manor territory, which is planted with a large number of flowers and trees. In order to please his glamorous wife, Earl Weston spared no expense to build a beautiful manor. Almost all the flowers in the whole manor bloomed only for Christine.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Earl Weston was able to successfully pursue Christine from the pursuit of so many nobles. He is indeed a seed of infatuation.

After the death of Earl Weston, the shrewd Christine turned these flowers into a business. Under her management, the Weston family gradually became one of the largest flower suppliers in Wenlington. After that, Christine began to try to grow magic plants and entered the alchemy material market.

The small hillside of the Rose Manor is now planted with a large number of magic plants for alchemy. If the seeds that Xiuyi possesses are the rarest and most difficult to cultivate in the world, then the cultivation of magic plants here is mainly based on mass production, which is the main component of the existing alchemy material market. If you want to make an analogy, what Hugh Igles is holding is abalone and bird's nest, and what is grown here is rice. Although the former is more expensive than gold, the latter is also indispensable.

The second part of Rose Manor is the main courtyard.

The entire main courtyard consists of a large house covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters. It is a three-story pavilion-style building with fifty bedrooms, four large living rooms, and a large open-air lawn.

On the other side of the main courtyard, there is an independent building called another courtyard. Christine's uncle, Earl Karen Weston lived here, forming a relatively independent world there and becoming the third component of Rose Manor.

As for the backyard where Xiuyi and the others will live, in fact, it was originally a few inconspicuous small houses located in a remote corner of the manor for the servants to live in. After the death of the Earl of Weston, a number of servants were dismissed, and thus became vacant.

It's no wonder that Christine is going to be angry when Xiu Yi and the others live in such a place.

The caravan, led by servants, was brought to the yard, where the horses were serviced by the best servants. Xiuyi, Buckler, Lilith and others followed Christine into the main courtyard of Rose Manor.

Passing through the gorgeous lobby, and through the inner corridors surrounded by oil paintings, decorated with the most exquisite wall lamps and carvings, Christine led them to a large living room.

To everyone's surprise, someone was already waiting for Christine here.

Oh, my dear Christine, you are finally back. A man with a mustache like Kevin Beers walked towards him. The vast majority of adults in the Reims Empire like to grow mustaches, which they consider a mark of handsomeness. A man without a beard is an underdeveloped boy.

Of course, there were also those with too much beard, such as the second waiting guest, a short man with a beard covering almost his entire face.

a dwarf

Huey stared straight into the eyes.

In this country dominated by humans, people can rarely see such existences as dwarves and elves. Most of them live in hidden corners of the world, leading an isolated life.

What Xiuyi didn't expect was that he would see a dwarf in Christine's house.

There were three men waiting in the living room. Apart from the man with the mustache and the dwarf, there was also a fat man who almost embedded himself in the chair when he sat.

At this moment, the man with the mustache and Christine embraced warmly, and Christine smiled enthusiastically, Oh, Hamblen, I haven't seen you for a long time.

I've said it many times, call me Kensi, and if you call me Hamblen again, I'll call you Mrs. Weston. The man with the moustache showed dissatisfaction.

Okay, I apologize, Kensi. Christine turned her face, and the other party gave her a light kiss on her left cheek, and then turned to the dwarf: Oh, Malloy, long time no see, you look taller again.

The dwarf touched his beard: My sweetheart Christine, you can really talk. I'm already sixty years old, and it's impossible for me to grow taller. Moreover, we dwarves are already tall when we grow to my head.

He was almost as tall as the slender Christine's chest.

After Christine bent down and let the dwarf Malloy kiss her on her right cheek, she came to the big fat man who was sitting: Oh, don't get up, Bean, we are all old friends.

Christine gave each other a hug.

Let me accept it for everyone. Christine waved to Xiuyi: The heir of the Dardanelle family, Sissar Dardanelle, is a good friend I met in Royo City. We signed a big deal in Royo City, and now the Dardanelle family has officially become the partner of the Weston family.

Nice to meet you. The man with the mustache made a gentleman's salute to Xiu Yi, and Xiu Yi bowed politely.

Christine introduced to Huey: Viscount Kensey Hanbrun, my good friend, the heir of the Hanbrun family, oh, he is one of the few men who does not intend to pursue me but only maintains a pure friendship with me.

Malloy, the master smelter of the San Marino trading house. We all know that the San Marino trading house, one of the three major trading houses in the empire, is mainly engaged in bulk ore smelting business, and no one is better at this than the dwarves. The trading company spent a lot of money to invite the master out, and almost all of the high-quality weapons in the empire are made by the master. The master likes to drink the green wine produced by Rose Manor, which is brewed by the best winemaker I invited, so we became good friends. If you want to ask him to make one for you Good weapon, then either go to the San Marino firm or just come to my wine cellar to find him. Oh, and speaking of the wine cellar, Malloy, I hope you haven't drank all my wine in my absence.

The dwarf shook his head with certainty: I haven't drunk it all, but it's almost gone.

Christine patted her forehead: Oh my God, it's rare that I didn't express my anger about this.

She grabbed Xiuyi's hand and came in front of the fat man: Count Bean-Aitken, my husband's best friend, during the years when my husband died, thanks to his help, I was able to maintain myself until now.

Bean Aitken moved his body with difficulty: Now without me, your business can run smoothly, Christine, you are a genius. If I were not so fat, I swear I would definitely pursue you. Not because of your beauty, but because of your wisdom.

Love has nothing to do with appearance, you don't have to be ashamed of yourself, I love you, Bean, just like a younger sister loves a brother. Christine gave Bean a kiss.

Then she turned her head to look at Xiu Yi: The three you see now are the only three people who have no plans for me. Maybe they are the only people in the whole world who can reassure me. Only they are qualified to sit in my living room and wait for me before I come back.

Christine's words were quite ingenious, and the three men, including Viscount Hamblen, were deeply moved at the same time.

Viscount Hamblen took a step forward: I am very glad that Christine can give me such a high evaluation, but I am familiar with the name Sissard Daniel. Christine, is he the family boy who is said to have entered your bedroom?

Christine put her hand on Hamblen's shoulder: Kency, he didn't come into my bedroom, he came into my heart.

The three of them were stunned when they heard the sound, and at the same time they stared blankly at this boy who was obviously several years younger than Christine.

Even Xiuyi was stunned, for some reason, at that moment he felt that Christine's tone was sincere when she said this, as if she wasn't totally acting.

In the living room, Huey, Buckler and others knew each other with Viscount Hamblen. With Christine as the middleman, they quickly became familiar with each other.

After learning that the Dardanelles will temporarily settle down in the Rose Manor, the fat man Bien Aitken frowned. He turned around with some difficulty and said to Christine: When you told me that this boy walked into your heart, I already understood your feelings for him. I can fully understand why you made such a decision, but I still want to remind you that such a decision may cause you and your friends a lot of trouble.

Then he looked at Xiu Yi: Master Dardanelle, I'm not a person who likes to speak ill of people behind their backs. I watched Christine marry into the Weston family. She has not had an easy life these years. There are too many people who are thinking about her. Her beauty and her property will always attract enough greedy villains. The reason why she has come to this point is not only because she is smart, but also because she has never officially disclosed her feelings. There are always some people who think they have a chance, and while they are causing trouble for Christine , and also brought her protection, so a delicate balance has been formed. But your appearance, Master Dardanelle, you have completely destroyed this balance. If you plan to make the issue between you and Christine public, then many people will come to trouble you and her. Therefore, I hope that the Dardanelle family can carefully consider their decision. If possible, you'd better stay here for one night, and then find a new residence immediately.

The big fat man has a silly face and a sweet heart.

Just think about those noble sons who offered bounties all over the world to catch Xiu Yiglaer in order to pursue Christine. Once they know that a young master from a certain upstart family has become Christine's man, then it is conceivable that all pursuits will take the initiative to change direction.

Sisther Darnell would be the target of criticism, and the trouble would be endless.

If this is a provocation from ordinary people, then Xiu Yi can ignore it, and he doesn't care what other people do to him. But these words came from someone who cared about Christine, so he had to treat them with caution.

For Xiu Yi, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is the enemy, who must be cruel, cold, and ruthless to the enemy. One is a friend, who should be warm, considerate, and considerate to a friend. Bean Aitken may not be considered a friend yet, but he may be someone who will become friends in the future, so Xiu Yi can only nod: You are right, maybe the Dardanelles should reconsider.

Siser. Christine called softly.

Xiuyi stopped her: The Dardanelles did not come to Warrington just to visit the mountains and rivers. In fact, they wanted to settle down and take root. There is no family in this world that doesn't even have their own residence. If the Dardanelles want to have a place in Warrington, they must find a permanent foothold for themselves... If handled properly, it can even bring us unexpected benefits.

In just a few seconds, Xiu Yi already had a small plan.

He looked at Bean Aitken: I don't know if there are any vacant houses for sale in Wenlington? Maybe Mr. Aitken can give us some information.

The fat man was thinking, when a loud voice suddenly came from outside:

Guests from the Weston family, why do you want to move out as soon as you move in? If that's the case, I have a good introduction.

———————————

Outside the living room, a middle-aged man who looked about forty walked in. He had a slender horse face, eagle-like eyes, and looked aggressive when looking at people.

When he walked in, his steps were very large and his speed was extremely fast. Before his voice fell, he was already standing in the hall.

Judging from this momentum alone, Xiu Yi had already guessed the identity of the person who came——Earl Karen Weston, the main target of his trip.

Behind Earl Karen Weston, there was a warrior in armor. He stood in the corridor outside the hall, far away from the living room, but for some reason, Huey had a feeling. That armored warrior can come to any corner of this living room just by lifting his leg.

Unlike all the warriors that Xiu Yi had seen before, Xiu Yi did not feel any powerful aura from the other party. He looked like a puppet, cold and lifeless, but from this warrior, Xiu Yi felt a chill of death.

This reminded him of the sword-wielding warrior of the Eter family.

If you compare these two warriors, then the warrior from the Eite family is like the sun, full of strength in every gesture, and the warrior in front of you, if you don't pay attention, you will feel that he does not exist.

But Xiu Yi would rather face that mysterious and powerful swordsman than this person.

That made him feel strongly uncomfortable.

Karen, why are you here? Chris stood up quickly when she heard Karen Weston's entry. Her face was very ugly, because she found that when Karen Weston came in, no one informed her.

The hostess of Rose Manor is back, of course I want to come and see you. I'm sorry, I was busy with some work just now, so I couldn't arrive in time to greet you. Karen Weston saluted Christine.

Should I be honored to let you get out of those alchemy experiments? Christine said in a cold tone.

Alchemy experiment? Huey's heart skipped a beat.

It turns out that Caron Weston is an alchemist!

Damn it, Christine hadn't told herself that earlier.

He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Originally, in his opinion, what Christine needed him to deal with was just an insignificant noble earl, but now it seemed that this earl was not simple.

The Earl of Karen Weston has at least one personal warrior who is unpredictable, but absolutely difficult to deal with. He is also an alchemist. In addition, he may also have more force, and this is probably the reason why Christine can't do anything about him.

In addition, Xiu Yi even found a trace of magic fluctuations in the earl.

This is not unusual, every alchemist will learn some magic, but the ability may not be strong, but the result is that this earl is not easy to deal with. If he cooperates with the samurai behind him, he is likely to be much stronger than a sky samurai.

From this point of view, Christine was indeed in great danger. Before Xiuyi appeared, it was probably not what Christine wanted to do with her brother-in-law, but what the Earl of Weston planned to do with his beautiful sister-in-law.

No wonder Christine is willing to take such a big risk to help herself in exchange for her own help. Obviously, Christine has indeed reached a critical juncture. What's rare is that she has always been calm and composed all these years, and the men who pursue her are as numerous as the sands in the Ganges River. This woman is calm enough.

That's right, maybe that's why Earl Weston didn't dare to attack her. Just like Christine didn't want Karen Weston to die abnormally, Karen Weston didn't dare to let her die abnormally in the face of Christine who had enough suitors.

Xiu Yi, who had thought through a lot of things at once, looked at the Earl of Weston with a very deep look in his eyes.

So how should I deal with this Earl of Weston? The opponent is much more difficult to deal with than he expected.

At this time, Earl Weston was still chatting with Christine, and met several guests from the Dardanelle family cordially.

When Huey was introduced, Earl Weston's eyes shone with excitement: I have heard for a long time that the heir of the Dardanelle family, who is also a wizard of alchemy, invented a very good scout bee. It just so happens that I have always had a special interest in alchemy. Maybe we can sit down and have a glass of wine and have a good chat. A common language is the basis of friendship, and maybe we can become good friends.

Xiuyi returned the courtesy: I am looking forward to communicating with you, but I am only good at making some insignificant little things.

That would be the best. Oh, yes, I have to apologize for interrupting your conversation just now. Why are the Dardanelles eager to buy a house just after moving in? Do you think the other house I arranged for you is not good enough?

I definitely don't have that idea, Lord Earl. It's just that there won't be any family in the world who will always be guests in other people's homes.

That's true. Earl Weston touched his chin, and then he said: When it comes to the issue of residence, I have a good introduction. The scenery is beautiful and the place is big enough. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it can be refreshed with a little rest. The important thing is that the price of the place is also very cheap.

As soon as he said this, the faces of Viscount Hamblen, Malloy and the big fat Aitken changed at the same time, and Christine even exclaimed: Oh no, you don't mean...that place, do you?

Earl Weston shrugged: That's right, it's the Castle in the Misty Castle, what could be more suitable than that?
