Chapter VI The Earl

Natasha used to be Alyssa's assistant, and when I saw her at that time, I couldn't tell you how ordinary she was.

A bland bob, plus a pair of square-rimmed glasses, wears a field combat uniform when working, and a set of American hip-hop when he's casual. At that time, except for a pair of green pupils like cat's eyes that made Xing Jie have some impression of her, the others, sorry, did not exist like air.

But now it's completely different, the long blonde hair is tied into a lean bun, with a little powder, and a fur coat, which looks extremely lean.

"I said, you brought us here on this snowy day, didn't you just enjoy the snow scene of the Lokhtaya harbor?" Xing Jie said with a smile.

"Oh, forgive me for my gaffes, I just didn't expect that in such a situation, Mr. Xing Jie's demeanor is still the same. The banquet is ready, so please get on the bus. Natasha smiled slightly and said flatly.

Along Route 28, the car roared eastward.

There was silence in the car, Natasha started to play with her mobile phone after getting in the car, while Xing Jie and Basang fell asleep, not caring where the destination of the trip was.

When the snowflakes turn from snow particles to goose feathers, the sky is completely dark. When Xing Jie and the others were woken up by Natasha, they found that they had arrived at the main gate of an ancient castle. Braving the heavy snow, several maids dressed as maids stood on both sides of the gate in a regular manner, while a Nordic man who looked to be in his forties dressed as a butler had been waiting there for a long time.

After getting out of the car, looking around, Xing Jie couldn't help but pout.

At first glance, this castle is a very traditional European defensive castle, and from the surrounding environment, it is particularly cheesy and built between high mountains, and if you guess correctly, except for the main road for people to enter and exit, the rest of the place should be surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Then there's the cylindrical cone-shaped side fort, where there used to be some tall archers, but now, maybe it's a warehouse.

The whole castle is full of the old and decaying atmosphere of history, coupled with the wind and snow, most of the rooms are black and rumbling, well, you don't even need to turn on the scenery to shoot ghost movies.

"Can you get creative, Natasha. If your boss were to live here, I'd be out of taste. We're not in any illegal business, and your boss isn't in the drug industry. If there is something to discuss, it is completely possible to come in a bright and bright way, and there is no need to put the meeting in such a gloomy place?"

"I'm sorry, but my boss, Monsieur Clälinenen, is a count himself, and his status dictates that he can only live here. Moreover, this banquet is a solemn and formal banquet, and I hope that Mr. Xing Jie will not embarrass my boss. Natasha looked back and said with a formulaic smile

"Oh, it's just an earl. With such a big score, I thought it was the existence of the rank of the Grand Duke or the prince and grandson. Natasha, don't worry, I still know the rules of the formal banquet, after all, I have eaten with the Pope a few times, and I will not disgrace your count. Xing Jie nodded and said with a soft smile.

It's just an earl, what's the big deal?

Do you know Rashid? But he's a prince.

Do you know Zaid? He's the Grand Duke.

Do you know Salvatore? But the Pope!

These people come out at random, and I don't know how much better than you, the tattered earl. When they were with me, they still talked about it, and they didn't show it at all, which onion are you?

Basang was almost unable to laugh behind Xing Jie, pretending to be forced in front of Xing Jie, what is the difference between this and slapping himself in the face?

Others may still be respected by this Count of Rausch, but what kind of person has Xing Jie not been in contact with? From the Pope to the Gentleman, there are more people who have become friends with him. Not to mention anything else, let's take Ye Hao in the group of five as an example, Brita's family is also an earl, but so what? After the founding of Taizu, all the bullshit things were abolished, so there is no such thing as a title, if you continue the ancient set, Ye, Qiu, Huang, Cheng, Cai, which of the five families is not at the earl level?

Natasha has dealt with Alyssa and Xing Jie many times, and she is quite clear about what kind of person he is. originally wanted to use the identity of the boss to suppress the other party, but I really didn't expect Xing Jie to be so arrogant when he was wanted.

But at this point, there is no point in talking about anything else. The only way to go directly to the castle was through the tall wooden door under the guidance of the butler.

Although Xing Jie is arrogant, he is not a stunned young man. After all, the dragon doesn't suppress the head snake. After all, on each other's territory, politeness to each other is indispensable.

After a brief rest, and after a brief freshening up with the help of the maid, he followed the butler directly to the banquet hall of the castle.

Flames rose from the tall fireplace, and from time to time there was the sound of wood burning and the sound of it peeling.

And on the head of the long dining table, there sat an old man with a serious face. It seems that this old man is a very old-fashioned person, what age is it now, and the hospitality is still a high-end evening dress. In the position of his deputy, Natasha was dressed up, wearing a crimson shoulderless low-cut tight-fitting evening dress, showing off her wonderful figure.

After the old man nodded and motioned for Xing Jie and Basang to sit down, the knife in his hand tapped the wine glass, and when the dinging sound sounded, the maids who had been waiting for a long time began to rush in. All kinds of cold dishes, fresh soups, and roasted fish were directly put on the table in an instant. The old man only raised his glass and said a word of Finnish at the beginning, and the rest of the day was just eating there elegantly.

It can be seen that this old thing is really a nobleman, and the etiquette at the table is perfect, which is completely the only person who has integrated those boring etiquette into his bones to eat so elegantly, not at all like those rude Americans, who go all over the world with a knife and fork.

But the old man only eats and doesn't talk like this, which is very rude at a Western banquet. Where is there a host who only cares about eating and leaves the guests out in the cold? But this is exactly what Xing Jie and Basang want. Who wants to chat with an old guy they don't know?

After the main dish was served and the waiters had finished dividing it, the old man raised his head and swept his eyes coldly, and the maids and waiters all put down their tools and turned to leave, while Natasha got up directly, wiped her lips with a napkin and stood behind the old man.

Can you wait for the conversation? This sirloin steak looks very good, especially the white niss sauce. Once it's cold, it's all wasted!

"I would like to ask Mr. Xing Jie to be my captain, and the exploration time is four days, and the cost is not a problem. But be sure to complete the first batch of explorations before your grandfather, Liu Jiaming, arrives. ”

"I can't answer you right now, I don't know anything about it, I just answer you, I think it's no different from looking for death. ”

"Of course, I can give you the information now. Just three words, Garden of Asaph!"

Xing Jie laughed when he heard it, that's right, he had found a lot of ruins, and many of them were clues found from ancient myths and legends. Now this method has also been learned by many teams, but it is said that it is useless. It seems that this old man is crazy, what kind of legendary Garden of Asaph are you going to find? Why don't you go to the legendary mountains of Olympus?

Do you think that Zeus, the stallion, destroyed Odin, so Odin's Asaph's garden was defenseless?

What do you want to do?

Besides, do you know where the Garden of Asaph is?
