Chapter 284: Joy Rekindled
Following Andor all the way, Thor turned his strange and curious gaze all the way.
The whole Lord's Palace is spacious and imposing, with both separate areas and elaborate cloisters connected into a single whole. The whole building has a castle-like masonry façade, and many of the places where the light is gathered are deliberately made of pyroxene.
Surrounded by bright lights, walking through the wind-piercing cloisters supported by vertically patterned columns, and walking on the regular cobblestone paths, Thor stared at the sand and swings of the small garden of his bedroom.
In the living room, the high-pointed dome is magnificent, and the brilliant crystal lamps fall straight down. In the dining room, the long dining table is covered with neatly embroidered white cloths, on which flowers and candlesticks are placed in turn, and the high-backed chairs around the table have long been neatly arranged.
The periphery that Anduo said refers to the garden area of the whole circle of green grass and trees after the main gate of the lord's mansion enters. It seems that Scott has put a lot of thought into it, and there is no sense of twilight in these rows of new buildings, not even the smell of wood.
For someone like Thor who has been in the world for many years, such an environment is already a bit too good.
Walking through the living room to the kitchen, the warm light source came on, and Saul's eyes swept over, very satisfied with the environment.
There weren't many ingredients in the kitchen, but they were fresh, and it seemed that Beth was still as frugal as she always was.
Thor wanted to cook himself, but was pushed to the dining room by Andor with a pout, pressed into the chair of the main seat. After Anduo's rectification, soon the hot bread of roast chicken and mushroom soup was put on the table one by one.
Between the flying knives and forks, An Duo, who was silently standing aside, pursed his lips and smiled slightly. This lord who met for the first time seemed to be a little different from what he imagined, he had no dignity at all, and he ate wild but very real.
Thor kept shaking his knife and fork, he really felt hungry, he didn't have any decent consciousness, and he had long been accustomed to the speed of the wind and clouds after many years of sleeping in the open.
"Aren't you hungry, sit down and eat something, by the way, what time is it?" Thor chewed for a long time before he remembered to ask a few questions in passing.
"I've eaten it, sir. Now that lunchtime is over, if you wake up an hour early, you can still see the lady who has not left. Anduo covered her mouth and smiled, and replied with a well-behaved face.
Soon Thor finished swallowing, grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth, and finally found the feeling of being back in the world.
Turning his head to see Andor standing there wriggling, as if waiting, Thor blinked.
"I'm sorry, but I don't seem to have any change in my clothes. Thinking that the maid was waiting for a reward and that his ring was not with him, Thor stood up and touched all over his body without half a copper coin, so he could only turn his head and explain.
"Poof~ Oops! It's not like that! I heard that the food you used to cook was delicious, so what do you think of my current craftsmanship?" Seeing Saul's innocent appearance, Anduo burst out laughing and lowered his head shyly, like a student waiting for a teacher's praise.
"Oh, oh, that's good, isn't it, doesn't my speed of eating speak for itself? And you're wrong, my cooking wasn't delicious before, and it's delicious now and in the future, okay?" Thor laughed and stood up.
"Let's go, take me to Beth's little shiitake mushroom, quietly. Thor smiled.
"Are you going out......? Can you wait a moment? According to the rules, the maid dress is not allowed to go out, I have to go and change my clothes. Anduo was visibly happy to hear that she was able to go out shopping.
"Go, I'll wait for you at the door, and by the way, help me find a robe, the hooded kind. I'm going to have to hide myself and surprise Beth. Thor smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing Thor's figure, the guards patrolling and guarding the main gate were a little shocked and stepped forward to greet him.
Thor smiled and nodded in response, then took the robe handed by Andor and put it on, leaving the lord's mansion and heading out onto the street.
The streets were bustling with people, and even the occasional horse-drawn carriage pulling goods could be seen, and the bustle made Thor feel like a world away, and it was difficult to overlap with the border settlement in his original impression.
According to Andor, the population of Liberty City now exceeds 2,000. And Beth still insists on guarding it in person every day because she is not worried about the affairs of the merit exchange point, after all, it is also the financial center of Thor.
The entire material exchange point has obviously been expanded now, with two more windows, and the heavy troops of Haiyou Town are usually guarded here.
Several female staff members were busy guarding a window, and Beth stood behind the window with her hands folded and looked at the crowd on the street, her face calm and unable to see the waves.
A black-robed figure suddenly and silently rushed in, standing next to the maid Fenki, who was quietly yawning, and startled Fenki. Who is this? The exchange point is a big place, and it's all women, who is this black guy?
Just as he was about to speak, Thor raised his finger and glared at her.
Fenki blinked a few times and finally reacted, and the whole person stood directly in place and covered her mouth in shock.
"Bang~" The door that had just been gently closed by Thor was knocked open again, and Anduo rushed in with a panicked face.
"Woo woo~ Madam is not good, Lord Lord, he, he ...... Woo woo woo ~ " Anduo lowered his head and covered his eyes in his sleeves.
"What's wrong with him?" Beth's peace was shattered at the sound of a cry.
"Woo ~ Woo woo!" Ando wailed.
"Why are you crying? What's wrong with him, you're talking!" Beth stared at the wailing Andor, her whole face suddenly pale, and then rushed to the door like a fried cat.
Before he could pull the doorknob, a black shadow suddenly appeared next to him, and a large dog's head and mouth were blocked.
"Ah......h Who? Uh-huh......" Beth struggled in a panic as she was struggling, and finally reacted after a moment.
"Woo, I'm scared to death!Badass, big badass, I'll kill you!" Beth burst into tears, her little fists flying.
"Is that how you usually treat frail patients?" Thor asked, putting his arm around Beth and holding Andor and Finki, who were holding their smiliest of the most.
"Woo woo ~ I miss you so much!" Beth kept arching in Thor's arms, this time she really cried miserably, because no one thought that Thor had slept for eight months.
There has always been a saying on this continent that once a person who has advanced has not woken up for more than half a year, then the chances of him waking up in the future may not be great, and the further he goes, the worse the situation.
"Well, the villain knew that he was wrong and did not return to the queen in time. Thor got down on one knee and bowed his head deeply, like a little dog's leg beside the Queen.
"Poof~ You really hate it!" Beth buried her face in Thor's arms, tears and snot all rubbing against his coat.
At night, the Lord's Mansion was alive again like never before, and many old faces gathered around the table.
Stant and Diller didn't say anything, just punched Thor in one of them, and the others kept greeting Thor around him.
Only five people knew about Thor's promotion, Stante Dillebeth, and two little maids. During this time, the news announced to the public has been that Thor has gone out to be busy with personal affairs, so as not to cause chaos in the territory.
Although no new lord has been elected in the past eight months, many things are now in charge of the three of Beth, and usually Beth is responsible for more decision-making, and faintly has the title of 'Iron Mask Lord'.
The slight strangeness of time became distant in the toast of each other, and the theme of this feast was clear. To celebrate the return of the lord, everyone gathered by the way, and did not talk about work during the banquet.
In terms of the territory situation, Thor is not worried, if there is really something big that can't be suppressed, Beth will definitely say it as soon as possible.
And this banquet is very low-key, and there is no lower management for the time being, just the original old group of people. It's still the Tanar family, and the little goblins Raz and Scott Shaun are also there.
Linda and Raz, two little mushrooms, chase after Saul for gifts, while Diller focuses on the fact that the Stints family gave birth to a litter of lizard eggs, and there is a lively and chaotic scene in front of them.
Thor led the crowd to raise a glass and thanked Scott for his efforts in building the Lord's House.
"Are you used to living in the Lordship?what do you think of the environment?Is there anything else that needs to be improved?" Scott got up in fear, and asked Thor's opinion after replying to the crowd.
"It's already good, nothing needs to be improved. ”
"To be honest, the whole Lord's Mansion feels a little empty, like this long dining table, which can seat more than twenty people, but usually Beth and I feel like they only occupy a corner. Thor waved his hand and made a joke.
"Empty? How can it be empty? You think we don't know? You have told us all the secrets Timo, and when all your lovers move in, it is estimated that the entire Lord's Mansion will be expanded, so emptiness is your own problem. Staunt glared deliberately.
What do you know?
"What about Teemo, you're not going to sleep again, are you?" asked Thor.
"Your skill at changing the subject is really clumsy!" Linda Shichtake said to Stant.
"Do you believe this greenskin smearing me so immorally?" Thor asked Beth, turning his head.
"I believe it, I just hope that the lord won't drive me away, I'll be homeless. Beth covered her mouth and chuckled and nodded.
"I'm dead and alive, why hasn't it been so long, why haven't you kid succeeded?" Thor steadied himself as an old dog, looking at Diller, who was cutting meat for Raz, and turned the battle to Diller.
"Who is so lonely, I'm very chic, okay!" Diller's neck stiffened, and he responded brazenly, so everyone tacitly aimed the attack at Diller.
Next, Diller calmly threw out the news that the Staunts had a nest of eggs.
"Poof~" Everyone burst out laughing at the same time.
In fact, lizards originally gave birth to a litter of lizard eggs, which is obviously a very normal thing, just like eating when you are hungry. But being highlighted by Diller on this occasion, I don't know why the whole thing suddenly became comical.
"There is a kind of dwarf, the lord's mansion is very large, enough for us to share life and death. Stantt stood up with a dark face.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Saul smiled slightly, finally everything was normal, and it was good to go home.
