Chapter 495: Mickey Comes Home
Early the next morning, Lu Tao still didn't wait for Magina's news, but got a message from Magina, the content of the message was to tell Mickey that he could leave the cathedral, and Magina couldn't come back for the time being, so naturally he couldn't do research about another world, so he asked Mickey to take Lu Tao back to his own house to live for the time being, and wait until Magina finished her own business, and then go to Mickey's house to find them.
So, Lu Tao followed behind Mickey and left this spectacular cathedral, speaking of which it is good to live here, the only thing that makes Lu Tao feel not very good, but there is no place to spend time here, not to mention the TV that only exists in another world, there are no books that can be read in the cathedral, those books placed on the shelves in the living room, all of them are some articles that praise virtue, under normal circumstances, I am afraid that no one can follow the reading, as if reading a difficult classical Chinese, every word is known by stroke and painting, but when they are all connected, it becomes a nonsense that cannot be understood at allγ
This time, Mickey, who is familiar with this cathedral area, took Lu Tao to another way, passed through a fairly neat and well-repaired garden, and walked directly out of the back door of the church.
"Mickey, where is your home?" Lu Tao asked Mickey while looking at the low buildings on both sides.
"Do you see those towers that have been erected tall? These are the towers with red and white flags flying on them, which are the flag of the Republic of Karl, and where the royal family of the Republic of Karl is located, and our family lives in the same place next to it, which is a courtyard that the king has given to our family, which has lasted for almost a hundred years. Mickey's best tone turned into resentment in an instant: "Hmph, if my father is willing to listen to me and persuade His Majesty to put the power of the whole country on fighting demons, I think it's not bad to have such a mansion, but now I don't have a little bit to pay for mankind, and I think it's too much waste to enjoy the blessings of all mankind." β
Lu Tao: "......"
He was a little speechless to Mickey, you can just go back and tell your father this kind of thing, you can laugh it off if you say it again or twice, and if you talk too much, it will make people feel disgusted.
Passing through this low-rise building complex, the scenery in front of you finally opened up, from the side of the church through those buildings, you came to a lively street market, reflecting the color of the sky on the white stone road, on the left and right sides are all kinds of buildings with open doors, in those gaps, are small vendors who put things out, noisy sounds come from all directions, as if containing some kind of power that cannot be ignored, so that Lu Tao feels a little light and fluttering.
There are also a variety of things sold here, from fresh fruit to wooden trinkets, bottles and cans of different colors, to smoking roadside stalls, and there seem to be weapon shops, but those sharp weapons and equipment, as well as hard leather or cord armor, are not left outside, and only a few people enter or leave.
Mickey seemed to notice Lu Tao's gaze, and said: "You want a new long sword?" If you want me to say, your ugly broken sword is indeed going to be replaced, but even if you want to change the sword, then don't buy it here, all the pieces here are gold and jade, and they look very bright, but it's not like that when you use it, especially the kind of glittering long sword, there will be a gap when you are knocked by a slightly better sword, and when it arrives at my house, I will give it from the warehouse."
You find a good sword, anyway, I have a lot of swords at home, and there is no use in staying there, my brother and my father have long since become less proficient in using swords. β
β......β
Lu Tao felt that the black dragon sword hanging on his waist began to tremble, and a wave of anger came from the sword, as if he was about to fly up and slash at Mickey's head in the next moment.
Shaking his head, Lu Tao urged Mickey to continue walking, and said, "I'll just use this sword, this is my family heirloom, and I don't want to change to a new sword." β
After listening to Lu Tao's explanation, Mickey nodded quickly: "There is no way to bring the family heirloom sword, it is an honor to bring it, and it is a shame not to bring it, but it is a pity that the best long sword handed down from my family was left to my brother, obviously my brother he can't even use the sword, and it is a waste to leave it to him, now it's okay, the long sword that has made great achievements has become an ornament." β
Lu Tao: "......"
He suddenly found that the closer Mickey got to the door, the more he talked, and in an instant Lu Tao understood what was going on, which was probably the so-called homesickness, or because Mickey's way of leaving home was not very elegant, it was considered a runaway, so now that he is close to the door, he will be so afraid, no matter how he says that the father is also a father, and there is no pressure at all to reprimand his son.
"By the way, we haven't had breakfast yet, otherwise let's have some casual food here, I remember that there is a good steamed bun here, come with me!"
Looking at Mickey who seemed to suddenly remember something, Lu Tao could only be dragged by him to the front of a store, only to find that there were a lot of people in the store, not only were the seats full, but there were also people queuing, and the business was indescribably good.
Finally lined up to Lu Tao and Mickey, Mickey asked for a few things unhurriedly, and then had to wait until the seat was vacant to sit down, and the sun outside was almost in the middle after breakfast.
Of course, Lu Tao was noncommittal, and he didn't urge Mickey to speed up, just like that, after eating, Lu Tao continued to follow Mickey and walked forward, and soon, the spires that Mickey pointed out to Lu Tao at the beginning were getting closer and closer, and Mickey was walking slower and slower, slower and slower, as if he had fallen into some kind of magic with slowness in his name.
When he arrived at the door, Mickey hesitated, stepped forward and patted the door, the gate of the Earl's Court looked very ornate, with two intricate and ornate coats of arms engraved on the left and right of the front, and I don't know whether it was gold or copper metal was poured into the lines of these coats of arms, reflecting a dazzling and bright light in the sun.
After a while, a small door next to the gate was opened, and a somewhat gray head was visible: "You are looking for ...... Young Master, you're back! Great, great, great! I must tell Madame!"
With that, the gray head disappeared all at once, leaving only a small half-open door.
Mickey also seemed to be taken aback by the other party's reaction, he took a half step back, and smiled awkwardly at Lu Tao: "Hehe...... They're a little too fussy, and whatever happens later, you just don't talk. β
Lu Tao nodded, he suddenly regretted it, he knew that he shouldn't have listened to Magina's words, come to his house with Mickey, and find a place to live casually, maybe it would be much easier.
But it was too late for Lu Tao to think so, the gray head or the figure who should be called the butler, quickly ran back, and with him came back, there were two servants who were dressed more simply, and the butler grabbed Mickey's shoulder
Shoulder: "The young master and lady are changing clothes, come with me, I have prepared toiletries for you in the room!"
Mickey's shoulder was grabbed by the butler, and he couldn't break free if he wanted to, so he could only smile awkwardly at Lu Tao, and said to the butler hanging on him: "Butler Finney, this is my friend, you can also arrange a room for him." β
The housekeeper named Finney glanced at Lu Tao, nodded indifferently, and still grabbed Mickey: "Young master, you must have suffered a lot outside, if there is anything you particularly want to eat, I will let the kitchen prepare it for you immediately!"
"No...... We just had breakfast and weren't hungry yet......"
"How can that be done?!" Finney, the butler, grabbed Mickey and said, "How can those food outside be as delicious as the food in the Earl's Court?" I asked the kitchen to prepare you another secret roast chicken that you used to like to eat, Childe, you must have missed this food for so long outside, right?"
"I miss it a lot, but ......"
"That's right, young master, come with me, wait a while for the temperature of the bath water will not be in the right state!"
As he spoke, Mickey was dragged in by the housekeeper, no one cared at all, Lu Tao, who had been standing in Mickey's life, Lu Tao looked left and right, and walked into the courtyard along the small door that was still not closed, and after closing the door with his backhand by the way, Lu Tao followed behind a few people leisurely.
The courtyard of Mickey's house is very large, and when you look around, you can not only see the high and low buildings, but in the distance, there seems to be a lake reflecting the sparkling waves, but soon the luster of the lake disappears, and you can see a beautiful building along a somewhat quaint corridor.
Mickey went directly into the largest room, and when he entered the door, he looked back at Lu Tao and gave him a reassuring look.
When the housekeeper Finney came out of the room, he noticed Lu Tao: "Are you ...... You're a friend of the young master, aren't you?"
Lu Tao: "......"
He suddenly expressed doubts about the security work of this Earl's Palace, and always felt that this way, even if some bad people ran in, they would not be discovered, shaking his head, Lu Tao replied: "That's right, I'm a friend of Mickey." β
"Oh...... I remembered......" Feeney, the butler, patted his head, making his white hair like a wave: "In this way, I'll take you to a room, and you can rest there first!
With that, the housekeeper walked forward on his own, and led Lu Tao to a small building that looked a little dilapidated: "You can live here first, okay?"
Looking at this somewhat dilapidated two-story building, Lu Tao had no other way than to nod, which strengthened his previous belief, he knew that he should not come to his house with Mickey, and it was much more comfortable to find a place to live outside than here.
After making sure that Lu Tao had no opinion, the butler Finney told again: "In the Earl's Palace, don't run around, just ask him directly if there is anything, Lut, you are here to watch." β
The person who spoke to Finney, the butler, was one of the two servants who had been following him, and the servant nodded and followed behind Lu Tao on his own.
Feeney nodded to Lu Tao again, and left directly with another servant, leaving Lu Tao messy in the wind, and finally could only shake his head and enter the room with the only servant.
