This two-story small building, which looked a little dilapidated from the outside, was naturally still so dilapidated after entering, and it did not surprise him as Lu Tao expected.

The various furnishings in the room are quite complete, the tables, chairs, and chairs are all there, but I don't know how long it has been since anyone has repaired them, so that a rotten smell began to emanate from these woods, and it took Lu Tao a long time to get used to it.

Lu Tao went up to the second floor, found a relatively clean room as his bedroom, returned to the first floor, opened the door and was about to go out, but was stopped by the servant who had been waiting here: "If you need anything, please tell me, don't leave this room without permission." ”

Lu Tao could only pout, these people really isolated him from Mickey, probably to separate the space for Mickey and his mother's reunion? As for whether there are other reasons, I don't know for a long time, or in the eyes of the housekeeper named Finney, maybe the young master of his family was brought bad by himself, but who knows?

"Where is Mickey, can you take me to meet him?" Lu Tao asked tentatively again.

The servant shook his head: "I don't know where the young master is, I'll help you ask later." ”

Although he said so, the servant guarding the door didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, guess Lu Tao understood, he could only shake his head, and returned to his room on the second floor anyway.

The only thing Lu Tao hopes is that these people must not forget themselves, at least the food for every meal must be provided, right? Lu Tao doesn't want to stay here and starve to death.

......

Early the next morning, Lu Tao finally saw Mickey's figure, but when he opened the door, Lu Tao was startled, and he suddenly found that Mickey's face was swollen.

"Mitch, what's wrong with your face?

Mickey twitched the corner of his eye: "No, no one hit me, there was something allergic in the food I ate yesterday, so it became like this, and it will disappear in a day." ”

Lu Tao looked left and right, not believing what Mickey said, after all, the long finger prints were still on Mickey's face, and it was impossible to say that he was allergic, but after thinking about it, Lu Tao still didn't ask much, and it didn't make sense to ask about this matter clearly, except that Mickey might be annoyed and angry, it didn't have any effect.

"Okay, don't look at it, I'm here to ask you to go to breakfast, if you don't want to eat, just don't say it. ”

Lu Tao thought about the food he ate yesterday, and in the end, of course, he compromised, at least eat something that could be eaten today, right? After thinking about it, Lu Tao didn't tell Mickey about the treatment he received yesterday, first, it was unnecessary, and second, looking at Mickey's current appearance, maybe telling him would have no effect, of course, as for why the housekeeper Finney did this, Lu Tao was not incomprehensible.

The place to eat breakfast was in a bright hall, and there was a long table that Lu Tao remembered often seeing on TV in the center of the hall, on which bread, milk, and bacon fried in oil, and finally boiled eggs, Lu Tao also saw a container specially used to hold eggs, which was also something he had only seen on TV.

Lu Tao and Mickey sat on both sides of the table, of course, the two of them sat on both sides of the table, not horizontally, otherwise if they were really so far away, they would not even be able to hear clearly.

After waiting for a while, Lu Tao didn't find anyone else on the table, Mickey had already grabbed the food in front of him and ate it, not at all reserved as a nobleman, Lu Tao had no choice but to ask

"Mickey, where are your parents and your brother?" and "Are we the only ones here for breakfast?"

Mickey picked up a piece of bread and tore it off, dipped it in the milk a little and put it in his mouth, and then replied with a satisfied expression: "They are very busy, they will have breakfast here, we just eat our own, we don't have to wait for them, wait for a while After breakfast, I will take you around the courtyard, and then we will go out to see the scenery of Issos, although this is not the largest city left, it is also the capital of the Republic of Karl, and some places are still worth seeing." ”

Lu Tao nodded: "Can we go to the palace?"

He really wanted to see what the palace of Issos was like, in the original world, let alone what the palace was, Lu Tao had never even seen the Forbidden City, although the atmosphere was brilliant on TV, but if he didn't really take a look at it with his own eyes, it was naturally not enough.

"What do you want?" Mickey took an egg from the plate and put it into the container containing the eggs, and then gently knocked a hole with the spoon in his hand, as if eating ice cream, scooping up the egg yolk and egg whites inside, Lu Tao was stunned, this way of eating eggs was the first time he had seen it, after all, on TV, it was just a good thing to put this kind of object like a wine glass on the screen, and would not teach the audience in front of the screen how to eat eggs with it.

Mickey continued: "The palace is the most important place in a country, don't look at me as the son of an earl, I can't enter there casually, and the earl is nothing here, you don't look at my parents and brothers, and you have to go out and socialize non-stop to make our family strengthen in Issos, so I'd better take you somewhere else." ”

Lu Tao could only nod, it seemed that the goal of wanting to see the Issos Palace was completely unrealistic.

After breakfast, Mickey took Lu Tao out of the door, followed by two servants in plain clothes, from Mickey's expression, Lu Tao could see that although these two people were sent by the housekeeper Finney to help Mickey take things or do some chores, they actually took the responsibility of taking care of Mickey and not letting him run away, so from the beginning, the eyes of the two servants were staring at Mickey and Lu Tao.

"Don't worry about the two of them, I'll take you to the lake for rowing in the morning, and we'll go to the castle district on the outskirts in the afternoon, and the two of them can follow if they want, this is also my mother's request, otherwise I won't be able to get out." As he walked, Mickey explained to Lu Tao in a low voice, and he was naturally quite dissatisfied in his heart.

The lake that Mickey said was not far from the city, but it was not the direction in which Lu Tao and Mickey entered the city yesterday, but outside the other city gate just the opposite.

The area of the lake is very large, according to Mickey's introduction, the name of this lake is Lake Issos, and no one knows whether this lake has such a name because this is the capital of the Republic of Karl, Issos, or the capital of the Republic of Karl, Issos, because of this lake, has the name of Issos, of course, probably the people living in this land prefer the first possibility.

It's summer, the blue water of the lake and the green mountains not far away, dotted with those pink or blue flowers that grow on the lakeside, a feeling of relaxation and joy comes to the face, but it is really a good place to go green, and now it is morning, the sun is not as warm as noon, the cool breeze blows in the direction of the lake, it is very comfortable.

There are large and small boats moored along the lake, and of course, because of the different cultural backgrounds, there are only Western-style boats parked there and you want to see one

A building ship with distinctive characteristics is naturally impossible.

After negotiating the price, Mitch pulled Lu Tao and the two servants behind him, and got on a small ship, although this ship was not big compared to the other boats parked on the lake, but it still had two floors, the first was the deck and the tables and chairs placed on the deck for people to rest, and the second floor was where the sailors were, all the power of the ship came from the oars and these sailors, and there were no exaggerated sails above to occupy the position.

"Huh, isn't this Mickey? Mickey! Wait for us!"

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the side, Lu Tao looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man with some sharp-beaked monkey cheeks.

Before Mickey could say anything, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy dragged another guy and jumped onto their boat, sat on the chair opposite, looked at Mickey curiously and asked, "Mickey, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us when you came back?" Oh, by the way, you said you were going to serve the country, how was the service?"

Looking at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy in front of him, Mickey tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Sauron, if you want to take a boat, won't you rent it yourself? Why do you have to get on our ship? And don't your people usually come at night? Why do you appear here in broad daylight?"

"You don't know? hahahaha! You don't know!" Hearing Mickey's words, the guy named Sauron suddenly laughed, and seemed to be laughing for a while: "You don't know!

Mickey frowned, "Sauron, if you do this again, I'll drive you down, and who is this? Why haven't I seen this before?"

"Ahem...... Well, I don't laugh anymore, this is my cousin, who used to live in Harias. ”

Hearing the name Harias, Mickey was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Sauron again: "What the hell is going on today?

"Well, it's not because my family has spent all the money in recent times, you also know that our family is not as rich as yours, and I don't have much money to use every month, and isn't it my cousin who came? In order to receive him, all the money was spent quickly, and of course there was no way to take a boat. As for what's going to happen, you'll know when the time comes, so don't worry about it for now, let the ship move, the air is good in the morning, it's good for your health. Sauron said as he winked at Mickey.

"What's good for the body? Why do you talk about health preservation? What happened to me in the more than half a year I've been gone?" Mickey saw Sauron's blinking eyes, and only felt that it was not okay to go against the peace, this guy used to be the master who didn't return home every day, and he mixed with a group of nobles' children, and he had already become a tumor of Isos, because Mickey was going to study in the Holy See school, so he basically didn't mix with them, and he knew him for sure, and he couldn't say how good the relationship was.

"There's a lot going on, if you come back a little later or a little earlier, I really don't mind telling you what's going on?, but today is not the time, I'll organize them to give you a welcome party after today, and you can ask whatever you want when the time comes!" Sauron patted the table, pointed to the position in the center of Hu, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, don't be shivery, hurry up and start the boat, let's ripple along the lake, and soar in the summer gusts!"

Mickey pouted, and since he couldn't ask, he had no choice but to let the captain of the ship start directing the two-story boat to move forward towards the middle of the lake, as Sauron said.
