The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

Ever since the Surrey Cavaliers brought back chili peppers, Arnold has lived a fairy life where he can eat spicy food every meal.

Especially in this cold winter, there is nothing to drink a bowl of spicy hot soup, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Because it was too cold outside, Arnold wasn't too cold, so when Olgus appeared again, Arnold moved the barbecue place for him indoors.

This is also the first time that Olgus set foot inside the castle, although he only set foot in the kitchen at the edge of the castle.

Mina and the others hid away one by one when Orgus arrived.

In the huge kitchen, there were only Arnold and Algus alone.

After several barbecue grills covered with large pieces of raw meat were put on the fire one by one, Anol sneaked in and said, "I got some new condiments recently, do you want to try it?"

Orgus nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Arnold took a seasoning jar filled with chili powder, and evenly scattered it on the pieces of barbecue.

With the addition of chili powder, the aroma of the barbecue changes instantly.

As soon as the scent came out, Olgus choked so much that he sneezed several times.

Arnold was surprised, and hurriedly stopped the action of sprinkling chili powder on the fourth piece of barbecue.

Soon, these pieces of barbecue were cooked.

Arnold took off one by one, and replaced the raw meat in time to continue roasting, and then put the roasted meat in front of Algus.

Looking at the delicious barbecued meat in front of him, Olgus hesitated for a while before taking a piece sprinkled with chili powder to taste.

As a result, as soon as he tasted this piece of barbecue, he was so hot that he almost burst into tears.

After that, Olgus never touched the few pieces of roast meat sprinkled with paprika.

After Arnold noticed this, he never continued to sprinkle chili powder on the barbecue.

In the end, those few pieces of barbecue sprinkled with chili peaks all entered Anol's stomach.

By the time the two of them had eaten and drank enough, it was already bright outside the house.

As soon as Anol opened the door, the snowflakes blowing in the wind hit his face, and he shivered involuntarily from the cold.

The sky is full of goose feather heavy snow, and I don't know when it started to fall.

One night passed, and there was only a piece of silver outside the house.

The snow at the door was more than a foot thick.

The most important thing is that the heavy snow has not stopped until now.

Arnold looked up at the gloomy sky, turned his head and said politely: "This snow, it seems that it will not stop for a while. There are vacant rooms for you in the castle. Do you want to stay overnight and wait for the snow?" Stop and go?"

Unexpectedly, when Olgus heard this, he nodded without any hesitation.

Arnold, who just wanted to be polite, felt deeply that he had shot himself in the foot.

So far, it's useless to regret.

Arnold could only lead him into the castle.

Rooms are all located on the ground floor.

Arnold was going to take him there, but Olgus, who saw his plan, asked him a word, and he almost couldn't lift his feet.

Just listen to him ask: "Do you want me to sleep under you?"

Anol's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he was stunned for a while before he realized that the "below" he said was just "below" in the literal sense.

It's just that, no matter which "below" it is, it's not easy for Anol to continue to take him to the guest room on the first floor right now.

He hesitated for a moment, then Fang turned around and said, "There is an empty bedroom on the second floor."

Olgus, who had known for a long time that Arnold lived on the second floor of the castle, nodded in satisfaction before he finished speaking: "Yes."

Arnold paused for a moment, and finally said something unfinished: "But that is the room belonging to the mistress of the castle."

Arnold's original intention of saying this sentence was to let Olgus dispel the idea of ​​staying on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, they didn't play their cards according to the routine at all.

Hearing that it was the room belonging to the mistress of the castle, Olgus was only slightly surprised: "Is there a mistress in the castle?"

It seemed completely unoffended.

Anol was completely convinced now.

He shook his head and said, "No. Then you wait here for a while, and I'll have someone clean up that room for you to stay overnight."

Orgus nodded in response.

Arnold immediately ordered Nick, who was huddled in the corner of the stairs and peeped his head to look this way, to take someone to clean up another bedroom on the second floor.

Nick nodded in agreement, but he didn't dare to make a sound, let alone approach here.

Even when leading people upstairs, they bypassed them from a distance, and crept up to the stairs by sticking to the wall.

After finishing all this work, Arnold just turned around when he heard Algus say: "That's you? The painting is really ugly!"

Arnold was slightly stunned, and followed his gaze, but what he saw was the colorful oil painting hanging high at the corner of the stairs.

In the painting, there is only a young man wearing a baronial noble costume, holding a silver-white cane, and sitting on a chair with a serious expression.

In fact, the young man in the painting doesn't look ugly, at least in Arnold's view, the young man looks quite upright.

After all, that person was very similar to the original owner in appearance when he was young, except that the hair color and eye color were slightly lighter compared with the original owner, there was no other difference, the original owner's younger brother, Old Bert.

The original owner didn't look bad, and the old Bert, whose facial features looked very similar to his, naturally didn't look bad either.

Even though the portrait drawn by the artist is not very similar to him, but he has such a foundation, no matter how bad it is, it will not be so bad.

Such a portrait, today unexpectedly received a "really ugly" evaluation.

I don't know if the painter and barefoot doctor who drew this portrait for the original owner's younger brother would be so angry that he rushed to the dragon to argue with him if he knew about it.

Arnold thought about these things in his heart, and replied without wasting time on his face: "No. That's my brother and the previous owner of the castle."

"Why not replace it with your portrait?"

Although Orgus is a dragon, he also has some understanding of the human race.As far as he knew, the nobles of the human race should only hang their portraits in the most prominent places in their castles to declare their sovereignty.

Arnold knew this too. In fact, the old steward had already mentioned to the original owner about changing the portrait more than once, but it was all because the castle's finances were tight at that time, and the original owner was unwilling to let the multi-talented citizens do it for free. He made a portrait, but let it go.

Moreover, after the castle's finances improved recently, the old steward also mentioned this matter to him, but due to various factors, it was dropped.

Arnold doesn't have the habit of telling people about his troubles, and he only said euphemistically, "Because a good painter is hard to find."

Olgus nodded to express his understanding: "That's true. If the painting is also this ugly, it's better not to change it."

Anol pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly but politely, and didn't answer any more.

Upstairs, Nick led people to clean up some overly feminine items in the empty room, such as furniture such as dressing tables, etc.

Then people added some more masculine items and bedding.

Finally, let someone clean the room, and it will be considered tidy.

Nick called enough people, so they cleaned up very quickly.

Not long after, he led the people downstairs, and told Anol from a distance that the room had been tidied up.

Arnold waved his hand to show that he knew.

Nick immediately waved his hand to let people leave, while he retreated to hide in the corner of the stairs again.

Arnold couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he saw this.

The room belonging to the hostess of the castle, the interior space will not be small, and the lighting will not be bad.

In short, after seeing the newly cleaned room, Olgus did not show any dissatisfaction.

Arnold sent the man into the room, and when he realized that the other party was not dissatisfied, he withdrew.

After returning to his room, Arnold didn't even have the energy to take a shower, so he fell headfirst on the bed and fell asleep.

Moreover, he slept for a full day and night.

Early next morning.

Arnold, who finally got enough sleep, woke up leisurely.

Woke up and opened the curtains, only to see a piece of snow outside.

The sun was rising, the sky was cloudless, and the weather was fine.

Seeing this situation, Arnold felt extremely relaxed.

When he put on his clothes and opened the door, Nick was already waiting at the door with the toiletries in hand.

After Arnold washed up, he asked Nick to bring hot water up, took a simple bath, and then went downstairs feeling refreshed.

After breakfast, Arnold was planning to go to the study to deal with government affairs, but unexpectedly, he ran into Cod who was waiting there at the entrance of the restaurant.

During this period of time on weekdays, Kodd should have been waiting at the door of the study, but he was waiting here today. Obviously, he encountered some serious problem.

Thinking this way, Arnold asked.

"What happened?"

"Nothing serious happened." Ke De said with a look of fear: "It's just your dragon. He went to the study. I only found him when he passed me by. At that time, I was a little scared and ran away come down."

Arnold immediately understood what was going on. He didn't ask Kod why he didn't go up again, but led him to the reception room to deal with government affairs.

After taking some time to send Kord away, Arnold went up to the second floor with a pile of documents that needed to be stamped, and pushed open the door of the study room.

In the room, as expected, there was a person who shouldn't be here.

When Arnold came in, Olgus was still holding a history book as thick as a brick, sitting by the window and flipping through it.

Anol wanted to ask him why he didn't leave, but he couldn't ask because the meaning of driving people out was too strong.

In the end, it was Orgus who spoke out one step ahead of him.

He looked up at Anol who pushed the door in, and said in a low voice, "Good morning, Neafes."

Arnold had no choice but to suppress the question he was about to say, and politely replied: "Good morning, Olgus."

Algus got a response and turned his attention back to the book.

Arnold was silent for a moment, and waited until all the documents he had brought were stamped and processed, before speaking again to break the silence between the two.

"Orgus, may I ask. How long do you plan to stay? Do you want me to have three meals a day for you?"

Hearing this, Olgus raised his eyes, shook his head and said, "No need. The exact number of days to stay depends on the situation."

Anol frowned slightly: "It depends on what the situation is?"

Orgus looked at him, and asked without answering: "Compared with other regions of the human race, this place is very barren. Why didn't you choose a richer region as your territory?"

When he didn't answer, Arnold wisely didn't ask any further questions.

And the question he asked, Arnold also answered very officially: "The reason why I didn't choose other places as the territory is naturally because this is where my Burt family has lived for generations."

"I see." Olgus nodded to make it clear.

The human race always has an inexplicable attachment to the place where the family originates and the place where the family inherits.

Although Olgus couldn't empathize and understand this attachment, it didn't mean he didn't understand.

So, he understood what Arnold wanted to express.

After the question was answered, Olgus had no intention of speaking.

Seeing that he turned his attention back to the book again and stopped talking, Arnold also fell silent, and concentrated on dealing with the pile of government affairs that had been piled up on his desk from yesterday.

The two of them did not interfere with each other, and the atmosphere could be considered harmonious. :) :)
