Travels of the Necromancer
Chapter 40 Noble Manor...
As soon as Ley and I came out of the teleportation point, we saw a carriage waiting for us. The family emblem decorated with crystals on the gorgeous body announced the noble status of the owner of the carriage.
Northern Xinjiang Province can be said to be the most desolate province in the Purple Wing Empire, but its capital is still quite prosperous, not inferior to any city I have ever been to.
When the carriage passed through the busy streets, many civilians bowed and saluted after seeing the carriage. The reverence on their faces was not fake. It seemed that the Roselle family was very respected in northern Xinjiang.The carriage drove out of the city gate smoothly. The Russell family had a manor not far from the capital, and Kate grew up in that manor.
When we arrived at the manor, there were already a dozen servants standing at the door to welcome us.Standing first was a middle-aged man with a solemn expression. He was tall and tall, and his hair was neatly combed behind his ears.When he saw us, he immediately saluted meticulously, but there was a trace of excitement in his voice: "Master, Master Lai, you are finally back!"
"You are..." From Kate's memory, I knew that the middle-aged man in front of me was Rhodes, the housekeeper who had been in charge of taking care of Kate, but after pretending to think for a while, he showed a look of remembering something, "Are you Rod?" Germany."
"You still remember me." Rhode finally couldn't restrain his excited expression, his eyes were slightly red.
Well, it appears that the butler completely believed the story Ley wrote in his reply.
So I showed a worried expression again: "Yes, Rhodes, I still remember you, but I can't find many memories that are equally important to me."
"Master, please don't worry, everything will be fine." Seeing my depression, Rhodes immediately comforted him, and changed the subject, "You and Master Lai must be very tired after a long journey, and you should take a good rest. I've got everything ready."
So Ley and I got back into the carriage again.I have known for a long time that Kate's house is very big, but I didn't expect to need a carriage in my own house.
The carriage passed through the green fields, and several houses in the distance were smoking, and some people were working hard in the fields.The clothes of these people are no worse than the civilians outside, but they have brand marks on their faces, which seem to be the so-called slaves.With the efforts of the King of Heroes, the Western Continent has abolished slavery, at least in name, but the Purple Wing Empire has kept it. It is said that the number of slaves is still considerable, but this is the first time I have seen it.
Everything in front of them, the fields, houses and even the serfs farming in the fields, are all the property of the Roselle family.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the second gate.This gate does not have the grandeur of the gate, but it is more gorgeous and exquisite. The arches and pillars made of snow rock are covered with reliefs, and the carvings are the heroic battles of the ancestors of the Roselle family.
After passing through the second gate, the scenery is immediately different.The straight road is lined with neatly arranged tasong trees, and on the soft lawn, the shrubs are trimmed into various animal shapes, dotted with lifelike marble statues.At the end of the road is a wide courtyard with a fountain, and the tall and magnificent building behind the courtyard is the main house of the manor.
"This is where they have been living." Ley said suddenly after getting off the carriage.He didn't speak along the way, but just looked at the scenery outside the window with a complicated expression.
Kate was born, raised and lived here, but "they"?It took me a while to realize that by "they" I meant not just Kate, but the father Rye had never met.
"Not all the time, at least your father lived with his mistress most of the time."
Hearing my words, Lai paused slightly: "My brother has always been alone...but at that time, I didn't know anything..."
Uh, I seem to have said something wrong.
"Well, when Kate was on an adventure with you, it was actually very relaxed and happy." I tried my best to organize words to describe my feeling when watching Kate's memory, "That memory is very, very warm."
"Really..." Then Lai didn't say anything more, because the servants had already greeted him.
It's really troublesome for the nobles. The bathroom is so big, and it doesn't matter if it is kept warm with fire-type magic crystals, but there are two maids serving beside it.After driving the maid away, uh no, after persuading her to leave, I soaked in the bathroom for more than an hour, which was indeed very pleasant.But out of the bathroom door, there was trouble again, because the maid who brought me was not there, so I couldn't find my way to the bedroom!
You can't get lost at home and use magic, right?After half an hour of wandering through the maze of corridors, I finally met a sweeping servant and asked him to take me to the front of the master bedroom.But from the servant's puzzled eyes, I got a message that Rhodes didn't let others know about "Kate"'s amnesia.Rhodes is a cautious person, but his cautiousness also reflects that the struggle within the family does not seem to end because "Kate" returns safely.
But anyway, I'm coming back to throw this position to a suitable guy, and they can fight if they want to.Lying on the big bed with silk curtains, feeling the softness of velvet and smelling just the right incense, I don't want to move another finger.
I fell asleep and woke up naturally. I was full of energy and hungry at the same time.According to Noah's instruction, I rang the bell beside the bed, and soon servants lined up carrying toiletries.I don't like being touched by strangers. Fortunately, these people just stand holding things and will not take the initiative to come forward without orders, and Kate in my memory usually doesn't let them serve.
But when Rhodes came in and asked where I was eating, he seemed a little dissatisfied when he saw that I did it myself.So I smiled at him comfortingly: "Although Uncle Ceuta is not here, I still have to abide by his discipline."
Hearing the name "Ceuta", Rhodes' always serious face finally showed obvious dissatisfaction: "Master, you don't need to pay attention to that old stubborn."
I couldn't help but chuckle, your stubbornness is no less.Ceuta is Kate's martial arts teacher. Because her parents didn't care about her, the heavy responsibility of educating Kate fell to Rhodes and the knight named Ceuta.It's also interesting to say that Rhodes himself is a very serious and meticulous person. Even in the hot summer, he will button the stand collar to the top button, but he is very gentle when taking care of Kate, for fear that he will be wronged.Ceuta, on the other hand, has a bold personality. In the barracks, he can hang shoulders with ordinary soldiers and get drunk together, but Kate's education is strictly in accordance with the knight's code, and he doesn't let water at all.Such two people with very different personalities had more than one conflict over Kate's educational policy.
Take the servants as an example. Rhodes believed that Kate, as the only heir, had a noble status, and the number of servants should be in line with his status. Ceuta strongly opposed it, thinking that this would only cultivate the weakness of nobles.The final result is that the servants who fit Kate's identity are on the sidelines, but Kate still does it herself.But it is precisely for this reason that when Kate left her followers and embarked on the road of "finding Ley", she was able to take care of herself anyway.
"Is Ley awake? If he's awake, I'll have dinner with him."
In the end, Ley and I had our first dinner after arriving at the manor in the small dining room, and then felt the luxury of aristocratic life again.
It is said to be a small restaurant, but the long tables that can accommodate twenty people at the same time still look empty.And I only know now that asking about the dining place in advance is not only a need for setting the table, but also a requirement for cooking.The chef will calculate the time required for the dishes to be served according to the distance between the dining place and the kitchen, and adjust the heat accordingly to ensure that the food is at the best temperature when the host is dining
What a nuisance!Although I love food, I have never been picky about food. Even half murloc meat that tastes like a dishcloth can be eaten happily.If you live in this manor for a long time, how can you eat food outside!I chewed the tender and juicy veal steak, thinking angrily.
