Anchor, your box lunch is here
Chapter 20 Riddle Manor
After a while, Chao An reckoned that the time was almost up, and said, "Mr. Baron, have you picked something you like?"
The baron stood with his back to the crowd, turning a deaf ear to Chao'an's words.
"Baron Villiers?"
"Villiers?" Kathy also noticed something was wrong. She walked towards the baron and patted the baron's shoulder.
The baron was shocked, then turned around in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't you hear me calling you just now?"
"Well, maybe I was distracted just now." The baron said casually, not seeming to care.
"Mr. Baron, have you selected your prize yet?" Chaoan repeated what he said earlier.
"Of course, this is it." The baron raised his hand, and everyone realized that he was holding an epee in his hand. The blade was red, as if blood had not been wiped dry.
This is the sword of Seig III, named "Shemos", and the name of the demon lord "Shemos" is only one word different. It symbolizes power and killing. It was made by the swordsmith Kalaon. The last sword that Kalaon forged in his life, not long after, Dika City was breached, Kalaon died in the hands of the rebels, and "Shemos" became his posthumous work.
This sword once fought with Seg III in all directions, and cut off countless heads. The blood stained its handle red, leaving an indelible mark. After the death of Seg III, this sword became a collectible, Duke Riddle And the Earl of Sheffield are its former owners, and now it is about to have a new owner.
Chao An sensed a cold aura from this sword. If ghosts really existed, they must be possessed by such a sword, Chao An thought in his heart.
Now that the baron had been selected, Chaoan called everyone to leave. They looked calm on the surface, but they were a little disappointed in their hearts. But thinking that they would have to live in Riddle Manor for a while, and there would be opportunities in the future, everyone suppressed their emotions They left the collection room together.
Arthur extinguished all the candles in the collection room, and closed the dark door. The moment the door closed, Kathy looked back in a strange way, as if seeing the lady on the wall blinking.
……
The moment they walked out of the deep corridor, everyone felt that the cold feeling wrapped around their skin dissipated, and the feeling of being watched at any time also disappeared. Everyone let out a breath, and the expressions on their faces softened.
"Angelet, do you want to go back to your room for an afternoon nap?"
"No, I don't feel sleepy yet."
"Just right, I'm not sleepy anymore, do you want some afternoon tea?" After experiencing the accident in the collection room, Kathy instinctively didn't want to be alone.
"Ok."
Because the sun in the garden is too hot, Chaoan chooses to enjoy afternoon tea in the greenhouse. The maid brings dessert and tea. Roses, such a bright red color, are too dazzling in the sun.
The judge went back to his room first because he had to deal with business, while the baron felt a little tired and needed a rest, so he also went upstairs with the "Shemos".The remaining four people held tea or coffee, enjoying the afternoon time with a happy face. After making the black tea, Arthur went back behind Chaoan, so as to listen to Chaoan's orders at any time.
"When people get old, they like to bask in the sun. It's such a waste of sunshine to go back to the room." Chester sighed.
When Kathy heard this, she asked curiously, "Chester, I heard that you were an apprentice doctor, why did you become a businessman again?"
"Of course it is to fill their stomachs. Common people rely on black bread for a living every day. They do what they can to earn black bread."
"It takes a lot of gold to be a businessman. Sugar cubes and tea are not cheap. Where did you get the money?"
Jincro is the most valuable coin in the Doin Kingdom. One Jincro can buy enough food for a family of four for a month. The monthly salary of many noble guards is only one Jincro, but if it is used to buy Tea, especially high-quality tea, can only be bought in a small handful. To get involved in the tea business, one needs a lot of money.
Chester's expression froze, and then he smiled nonchalantly, "Of course I didn't do this at the beginning. I was just a small cotton merchant in the beginning. When the winter was extremely cold and the price of cotton rose, I made some money. Then I went into the cloth business, the molasses business..."
"... I have been busy all my life to earn such a little savings. Miss Kathy has never done business, so I don't know the difficulties of businessmen. Those opponents are like hyenas. They won't let go if they bite. If it wasn't for the kindness of the Earl, who helped Poor old Chester resists the suppression of those evil businessmen, maybe I won't sit here and chat with the noble young lady so comfortably." Chester even patted the old earl's ass at the end, almost People laughed after hearing this.
Kathy asked other questions. Chester had a wealth of experience and his language was humorous. Kathy couldn't stop laughing when he said it, and there was a cheerful atmosphere in the greenhouse.
Just when everyone was immersed in Chester's story, there were suddenly a few dull knocking sounds from the direction of the living room, as if a heavy object had fallen on the ground, Chester stopped talking immediately, and Kai Xi looked at each other.
"What happened? Did you break something?"
Arthur also frowned, and shouted in the direction of the living room, "Bellamy, what are you doing?" Only the maid Bellamy would appear in the living room at this time.
There was no response, and soon the knocking sounded again, louder than before. Ersa immediately showed a look of contempt, and said, "I just said she is clumsy, Master Angelet, you should really change to a maid, as long as 10 You can find a beautiful and capable maid for a few cents." Apparently, Elsa still remembered what happened in the morning, and she thought that Bellamy spilled the water on the ground.
Chaoan showed an apologetic expression to everyone, and said, "Excuse me for a while, I'll go and have a look."
"You don't have to trouble the young master, just wait here, I'll go and have a look." Arthur said.
"No, I want to go and see for myself."
Chaoan got up, apologized to everyone again, and then walked towards the living room with Arthur one after the other.
After arriving at the living room, Chao An noticed at a glance that the living room was empty and there were no pieces of decorations. It seemed that Bellamy was not here. So who made the previous voice?
Chaoan decided to ask other people, he walked towards the kitchen, and soon saw the busy fat chef Cook in the kitchen.
"Cook, did you go to the living room just now?"
"No, Master Angelet, I've been preparing dinner in the kitchen."
"What about Bellamy? Do you know where she is?"
"Of course, Bellamy has been helping out in the backyard."
"You mean Bellamy's been in the backyard all this time? Never been in the drawing room?"
"Yes, master, do you want to see her? I can go and ask her to come out."
"No need, I'll just go there by myself."
Chaoan walked through the kitchen and came to the small yard behind, where many live rabbits and geese were kept. Bellamy was sitting on a small bench with a gray apron on her body, holding a handful of With the machete, she held a snow-white live rabbit with the other hand. She pressed the rabbit on the chopping board. As soon as the machete went down, the head of the rabbit was cut off, and the rest of the body twitched a few times and remained motionless.
The blood splashed from the cut fell on the ground, forming small red dots, and a few splashed on Bellamy's face. Bellamy wiped it with her sleeve indifferently, and wiped the dead rabbit's body. Throwing it into the wooden basin, the head let it fall to the ground, the red eyes were wide open.
Chao'an did not expect that the submissive maid would have such a vicious side on weekdays. Her skillful technique showed that this was not the first time she had done this. Moreover, Chao'an noticed the posture in which she held the knife. It was an experienced old hunter. How could Bellamy learn these usual postures?
When the maid was about to catch another rabbit, he saw Chao An standing at the door, and immediately stood up in a panic.
"Master Angelet, when did you come?"
"What were you doing just now, Bellamy?"
"Cook said he would eat rabbit meat at night and asked me to help kill the rabbits. What can you do for me, master?"
"No, keep busy."
Chaoan turned and left, leaving Bellamy standing there with a puzzled expression.
……
Back in the greenhouse, Kathy was already impatient to wait. Seeing Chaoan approaching, she couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Did Bellamy make it?"
"No, she's been in the kitchen all the time."
"What's the matter? Bennett? Villiers?"
"Maybe."
In fact, there was no reason for the two of them to run to the living room to make noises and then leave, but Chao An was no longer prepared to delve into this matter.
The sound of "half-hearted, half-hearted" is haunted, right?And the footprints before, is there a ghost?
"Lift your skull" is that even a question?This dark castle, weird decoration, guests with ghosts, if it is not haunted, I am sorry for the scene layout, could a vampire pop out?
"Why can't it be curly hair?" I hate vampires, he will turn into a bat, bats are so dangerous...
"Sun Banxian who set up a church stall" I counted and found out that the anchor will be bloody in the near future, so the anchor should withdraw immediately.
"My old man came from afar" nonsense, did the anchor not have a bloody disaster that time?The anchor should hurry up and talk to the servant now, it will be cold if it is late.
Chao An "..."
Fortunately, Arthur couldn't see the live broadcast screen. If he knew that the audience had such thoughts, he would probably turn off his screen immediately to keep him away from these "filthy and despicable Barr". In this world, Barr means pig, nobles I don't eat pork, I feel that this kind of creature is stupid and dirty, and I don't have the right to enter their mouth.
Barr Well, you have money, you have the final say.
Although the afternoon tea was not over yet, everyone lost their previous interest. Chao An held a teacup and looked towards the splendid garden. Feeling the fading of the sun, he was full of anticipation for the upcoming first night.
The baron stood with his back to the crowd, turning a deaf ear to Chao'an's words.
"Baron Villiers?"
"Villiers?" Kathy also noticed something was wrong. She walked towards the baron and patted the baron's shoulder.
The baron was shocked, then turned around in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"
