"Jingjing, little master, my name is Jingjing!"

"Is the butler grandpa in the manor now?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Jingjing got excited: "Little master, since Butler Jones came back last year, he has summoned many Muggles to come over and turned the whole manor upside down!"

Kate frowned suspiciously, and as she followed the elf towards the manor, she asked, "Why did he summon the Muggles?"

Essence tugged at its big ears: "It seems... to lay circuits and install a lot of Muggle gadgets in the manor!"

It turned out to be the case.

The old butler was afraid that she would not get used to it after returning to the manor, so he hired someone to install the electrical appliances.

It might not be easy to install circuits in such a large manor, and Kate didn't expect to be able to pretend to be anything, but she still understood the old housekeeper's wishes.

It's also hard for him, an old man, to worry about these things for her at a very old age.

Kate sighed, and told Jingjing in a low voice: "The grandpa housekeeper is doing it for my own good, so don't speak ill of him anymore."

"Yes, little master!" Jingjing agreed sharply.

However, unlike the more extreme elves in the original book, the elves in front of them have not shown any phenomenon of self-harm while admitting their mistakes so far.

Kate didn't want to see that kind of scene, and didn't speak any more, followed the spirit all the way through the long road, and saw the manor at the end of the long road from a distance.

Different from the gloomy and dreary manor in the imagination, the entrance of the Safik manor in front of you is a large piece of lush grass, and beside the manor, there is a clear lake that is not too big or small.

And the long road paved with bluestone slabs under their feet leads directly to the cream-colored castle wrapped in greenery and full of British flavor.

Is it already at the level of a castle...

Even though Kate was already prepared, but looking at the exaggerated buildings in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She is now the master of the castle, the only master.

And in front of the castle arch, an old man in a suit and leather shoes, with silver hair combed meticulously, was standing there.

"Grandpa Butler!" After seeing the other party clearly, Kate couldn't help but hurried forward with some excitement.

"Little master, welcome home." Rand bowed solemnly to her, and even knelt down with the two house elves behind him.

Kate accepted the salute with some unease, and hurriedly helped him up: "Grandpa housekeeper, you don't have to be so polite with me, go in quickly."

Rand nodded, and led her and a total of three house elves into the castle: "This is the Safik Manor, and it is also the place where the little master's ancestors grew up for generations."

How on earth do you call such a castle a manor...

Kate complained in her heart, but looked at all the scenery in the castle dazedly.

[Congratulations to the host for winning the title of "Manor Lord"]

[As long as you wear this title, the charm value of the host can be +10]

Hey, does your system also believe that wealth is charm?

Chapter 6 Family Welcome Package, here you go!

Before Kate finished complaining, the system started sending out information again and again.

[Congratulations to the host for being blessed by the family spirit! 】

[When the host is in the state of ancestral protection, all personal attributes +3]

【drop!The family branch line is open: ask the host to complete the family task 1: explore in the manor to obtain key props (0/3)]

Hey guys, is there a family welcome pack?

Kate was disturbed by a series of messages from the system, and when she regained her senses, she found that the old housekeeper was looking at her kindly.

"Sorry, I was distracted!" She hurriedly couldn't find it for herself, "Grandpa housekeeper, what did you just say?"

Rand smiled, and repeated: "The manor is too big, if the little master doesn't want to go shopping anymore, you can follow me to the living room of the main building."

No wonder the building here is so big, you will change your feelings.

Kate quickly took his arm: "Then let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and a gust of wind rang in her ears. When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at the magnificent living room.

"Little master, as long as you are in the manor, you only need to call Jingjing's name, and it will appear and take you to various places in the manor."

Rand let go of her hand, stepped aside, and explained to her in a low voice.

"I see." Kate raised her foot, glanced at the intricate patterns of the wooden floor under her feet, and said casually, "I will learn to change shape in two years."

Generally speaking, this spell can only be learned by sixth graders who have reached the age of 17.

But for Kate, learning this spell well in the next year or two is her goal.

At least, this spell must be learned before the Goblet of Fire.

"I heard from Newt that the little master has a great talent for learning magic, so please don't rush forward, just follow the steps."

While talking, Rand turned around and poured her a cup of black tea from a gold-painted enamel teacup: "Please use it, little master."

"Thank you." Kate took a sip and looked up at a portrait of a middle-aged man on the middle wall of the living room.

Under her gaze, the portrait of the man moved and lowered his head to wink at her.

"This is the No.15 head of the Safik family, and also your grandfather."

Kate bowed to him primly, then turned her head and asked, "What about the portraits of my parents?"

"This..." Rand wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "Back then, before the young master and young lady had time to succeed, they..."

Sure enough.

Kate lowered her head in frustration. Although she was around two years old when she passed through, she didn't have much memory of her parents in this body.

The only profound picture is that every night, when the family gathers for dinner, the fewer and fewer people at the table and the more depressing atmosphere.

Sighing inwardly, she raised her head and smiled at Rand: "Then go to my room first. After walking for so long, I still want to take a shower."

"Yes, please follow me." Rand nodded, then turned and walked to the corridor outside the reception room.

As Kate expected, photos of her family's various ancestors hang in this spacious and sunny corridor.

As Rand walked, he also introduced her one by one.

The men and women on each portrait are tall and straight, and the metal nameplate under the frame briefly records their birth and death dates.

As soon as they saw Kate coming, these portraits began to chatter non-stop, and they didn't even speak Rand's introduction at all, which made Kate's head dizzy.

If she is also hung on the wall in the future, will she be the same as these ancestors?

When he finally came to the master bedroom suite at the end of the corridor, he paused, and suddenly turned around and bowed to Kate.

"Presumably Jingjing has already told the little master about my finding Muggles to come here. I'm very sorry, I did it on my own and didn't tell the little master in advance."

Kate hurriedly helped him up a little helplessly: "This is all the wish of Grandpa the housekeeper. It's too late for me to thank you for taking care of me!"

She was not used to Rand calling her little master one by one, obviously when he was in the Muggle world before, he could still call her by her name like a grandfather.

"Grandpa housekeeper, now there are only you and me left in the Safik family, so you don't need to call me little master."

"I treat you like my own grandfather, please call me by my name like before."

Only then did Rand straighten up, his old face was full of relief: "If the young master sees the current young master, he will definitely be happy."

"Grandpa housekeeper..." She put her hands on her hips helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I see, I will call you Kate from now on."

Rand nodded with a smile, "Please rest assured, all the Muggles who came to the construction have been oblivioned, and no one will be exposed."

He slowly led Kate into the master bedroom, which was guarded by a thick door, turned around and groped for a while on the wall behind the door, and pressed a switch.

The originally dark room surrounded by curtains suddenly lit up——

I saw a little bit of starlight on the ceiling of the originally luxurious master bedroom, and the clear and soft light sprinkled between the beds, making the whole bedroom a bit softer.

Kate raised her head and looked at the ceiling in surprise: "These are..."

"When you were a child, you liked to sit by the window and look at the stars, so I asked Muggle workers to come here, fill the circuit, and reinstall a layer of partitions with star grooves."

"But the portraits of the ancestors in the family complained about the Muggle workers coming in and out, so I can only install these in the main building, and I can only put them on hold in other places."

Rand's tone was somewhat regretful. According to his vision, one year would be enough to renovate the entire manor.

He still remembered that his little master used to be afraid of the dark, and couldn't sleep without lights at the door and toilet, so he installed such lights in the bedroom.

"So I already like it very much!" Kate shook her head, her little face illuminated by the soft light was full of smiles.

Although such a design was not uncommon in the previous life, the most precious thing was the old housekeeper's intentions.

Rand smiled slightly, "In that case, then Kate, take a bath slowly, and I'll let the elf cook some food you like."

"Well, thank you grandpa housekeeper!"

After Rand closed the door and left, Kate looked at the ceiling above her again.

Who can know, in fact, she liked to watch the stars when she was a child, just because she missed the time before time travel.

It's just that after so many years, she has already accepted the reality, not to mention that there are relatives like the old housekeeper by her side, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The simple and elegant closet was already full of clothes for her daily use. Kate picked out a few at random, and happily went to take a shower.

Chapter 7 Mysterious Manor

Lying on the bed after taking a shower, Kate looked at the starry ceiling above her head and said softly, "System, open the personal interface."

【Delicious girl system is continuing to serve you. 】

[Host: Kate Safik]

[Occupation: Wizard]

[Title: Lord of the Manor]

【Charm: 25】

【Strength: 21】

[Agility: 23]

【Spirit: 23】

【Life: 61】

【Lucky: 26】

【Magic Power: 53】

[One of the superposition abilities: Xueba Talent: Level 7]

[Superposition 6: Magic Resistance: Level [-]]

[Superposition Ability Three: Legendary Magic Power: Level 5]

[Fourth superimposition ability: animal favorability: level 5 (buff is in progress)]

[Stacking Ability 3: Protection of the Dragon Race: Level [-]]

According to the system's judgment, as long as the mana value does not exceed 1.5 times the life value, there will be no great risk.

In other words, according to her current health, theoretically, the upper limit of magic power can be increased to 91, but there is still a lot of room for growth.

And for the whole year of last year, when the system continued to play dead, the attribute points she gained through hard work were actually only 20 points.

As early as three months ago, before the news of the escape of the young Hungarian Horntail came, Kate was still worrying about how to earn attribute points.

Then Newt took on a big job.

During the more than two months of tracking and rounding up, with the help of Newt and professional dragon breeders, she took the risk of unlocking the buff of animal favorability.

It was only at the moment when the favorability for the Horntail cub reached level 10 that he caught the cub into the breeding cage without any risk.

Also because of this, the Hungarian Horntail cub who lost its mother recognized her as its mother under the blessing of the buff.

For this reason, half of her neck was almost eaten off by the little dragon cub.
