Chapter 430: Development and the Baron
About half an hour later.
"Meow"
With a slight cry, Lu leaps from the top of the greenery and makes a light backflip in midair, landing three meters away.
At this point, her gaze wandered slightly, and she immediately found the current location of the red dot on the top of the windowsill on the second floor of the house.
"Meow"
Bent his knees slightly, and then kicked violently, and with the feedback of the strong reaction force, Lu's petite figure quickly swept out, and appeared ten meters away in the blink of an eye.
Then she leaped sharply, directly into the air.
"Hey!"
Seeing that he was about to hit the wall, Lu's right hand reached out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and pressed it precisely on the eaves of the first floor, and his arm twisted his waist at the same time, and suddenly his whole body rose into the air again.
Bending over, she flipped in the air for a week, then landed accurately on the second-floor windowsill, and after standing still, she reached out and pressed down on the red point of light that remained at the top of the windowsill.
"Meow"
"Meow?"
This time, Lu didn't see the red point of light start to move its position, but stayed in place.
"Alright, Lu. ”
"That's it for today. ”
"Let's stop. ”
The next moment, a gentle voice came into her ears.
Reminded by this, Lu, who was immersed in the fun of "playing", realized that he had landed on the windowsill of the master bedroom, and at his feet was an exquisite alchemical device that radiated red points of light.
"Hee-hee. ”
As the Muse watched, Lu lowered her head and spat out her little pink tongue, then prepared to jump off the windowsill and into the room.
But as soon as she lifted her foot, she hesitated for a moment, then retracted her foot, leaned down and took off her stained shoes, and then jumped off.
Muse looked at Lu's careful actions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and beckoned, "Come here." ”
Blinking her big black eyes, Lu's little face showed a puzzled expression, but she still came to the muse very obediently.
Then, she noticed a warm hand fall on top of her head and stroke it gently.
"Meow"
With the touch of the muse, Lu also narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a slightly intoxicated expression.
"Huh. ”
Smiling, Muse picked Lu up and placed her on top of her knees.
As the silver light on the back of his hand spread, a dry towel neatly stacked beside the bed rose into the air under the action of the alchemist hand, drawing a perfect parabola in mid-air and falling into his hand.
Folding the towel in her hand, Muse wiped the sweat that began to ooze densely for Lu.
"Meow"
It seems that this sweat makes Lu also feel quite uncomfortable, and at this time, she cooperated with the muse to wipe it clean, so that she also enjoyed it very much, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable muttering from her throat, and a pair of white little feet swayed from side to side.
After wiping his forehead and neck, the muse folds the wet towel in reverse, then leans into the garment, slides down the groove of the back, wipes off the accumulated sweat, and then transfers it to the soft belly......
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the muse noticed that his fingertips seemed to touch something soft, and as he moved, there was a slight bulge under the towel.
"Uh-huh"
Listening to a strange voice in his ears, he silently returned the hand holding the towel back the way he came......
“......”
After looking up at Lu in confusion and looking at him as if wondering why he didn't continue, Muse picked up the rattle on the table and shook it gently.
Jingle bells
After the crisp bell rang, it wasn't long before Eve and Elaine, dressed in maid costumes, pushed the door open and walked in, bowed and asked:
"Master, what do you command?"
As if thinking for a moment, the muse patted Lu's shoulder, and said with a little subtlety in his tone:
"You take Lu to take a shower. ”
"Then change into clean clothes. ”
“......”
"Also, prepare a set of underwear for her......"
Late at night, in the city of Freires, inside a huge aristocratic mansion.
In the study, the bright spell lamp shines, causing the shadows of the bookcase and decoration to reflect on the wall, revealing many strange shapes.
"Sir, this is our income account for this month. ”
The old butler walked in with a steady step, holding several account books and respectfully placing them on the table.
"And what's happened in Freires lately, whatever you asked you to do, anything that's interesting, or that involves more than a thousand gold coins, is here......"
Immediately, he took out an information book from his bosom and placed it next to the ledger.
This mansion belonged to a baron, and the fief was in the Thorn Realm, hence the name Baron Thorn Lord.
As a minor nobleman, when the income from the land could not provide a decent enough life, it became a very normal phenomenon to come out to serve the big nobles.
The same is true of the Baron of Thorns, who now serves the lord of the entire city of Frerys, Count Raymond, and, because he is a distant relative, has earned the position of deputy chief of the city guard, which is very good.
The baron was less than forty years old, but his face was quite old, and he already had many wrinkles.
At this time, he was expressionless and flipped through the ledger page by page, and the entire study was extremely quiet, except for the occasional rustling sound.
The housekeeper listened, but his heart was secretly nervous.
I don't know why, as an old butler who has followed the Thorn family for generations, and has been serving the previous baron since birth, he always feels that his master has changed since he came to Fryjus City.
Not only has the temper become very moody, but people have also become somewhat mysterious.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been following the Thorn Family for a long time, and had almost grown up with the current baron since he was a child, he would have almost thought that this baron was an impostor.
And even so, the baron, who became more and more mean and irritable, was quite difficult to serve, and many times the old butler felt like walking on thin ice.
"Hmm...... Except for the recent purchase of fur accounts that are a bit expensive, the rest is fine......"
After a long time, the Baron finally stopped flipping through the ledger.
The old butler breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he said a word of silence for the person in charge of buying the furs.
"Huh?"
After reading the accounts, the baron picked up the information book, the first page of which was an overview of the recent purge of the city of Fleuris and the actions of the paladins.
I don't know which one I saw, and his complexion suddenly changed.
At this moment, the old butler clearly saw that the baron's lips pursed, and then his face drooped, and his face sank.
The old butler, who was familiar with the baron's temper, knew that this was a manifestation of the baron's bad mood, and suddenly he didn't dare to gasp, for fear of harming the pond fish.
"Very good, you did a good job, now let's go out first!"
It's just that the expected storm did not come,
Hearing the baron's words, the old butler immediately hurriedly withdrew, and closed the door with him.
"I didn't even deal with the person in charge of buying the fur, what kind of news could make the master ...... like this?"
The old butler walked out into the garden with his hands behind his back and worriedly, his brow furrowed deeply.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but the moon hanging in the sky at this time seems to have become more mysterious and demonic in the eyes of the old butler.
There was a faint purple halo in the bright moonlight, which gave the earth a strange color......
