Arthur's face immediately darkened, obviously Alicia was scolding her friend, but Liu Xi was forced to plant him on his head.

What is Alicia scolding him for being garbage, it is Liu Xi who obviously scolds him for rubbish.

But Arthur could only suffer this scolding stubbornly, and he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Because just now he himself introduced Alec and Alicia that Liu Xi was his friend. Alicia scolded Liu Xi's friends for being some pickled girls bragging trash, although Arthur knew that Alicia really didn't mean to scold him, but the result was indeed even scolded by him.

Alicia obviously thought of this too, and quickly glanced at Arthur, and saw that his face was not good, and couldn't help but look a little frightened.

"Brother Arthur, I'm not ......"

Arthur raised his hand, didn't let Alicia continue, looked at her reproachfully, and said, "I just said, Liu Xi is my friend, is that how you treat my friend?"

Alicia's little face fell, her expression was extremely aggrieved, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Arthur looked at Liu Xi and said with a smile: "Alicia didn't mean that, I apologized to you on her behalf, Liu Xi, you don't mind." ”

Liu Xi didn't care, if Alicia hadn't troubled her directly, she would have no interest in meeting Alicia in general.

No matter how she is also a Jindan ancestor who has lived for hundreds of years, she is jealous of a little girl in her twenties, it is too embarrassing.

To be Arthur's best friend, Alec and Alicia are naturally abilities, and their ability levels are not low.

Liu Xi judged from the strength of the aura felt by the two of them, and the abilities of the two were between C-level and B-level. As for what kind of ability it is, it's not something that can be judged by breath.

A cheetah SUV was parked on the side of the road, Alec put Liu Xi and Arthur's luggage in the trunk, and the four of them got into the car and got on the road and headed for the top of the mountain.

The Alliance of Adepts was founded in July 1896 in the small town of Gordes, France, and was founded by 33 paranormal people from 33 countries. More than 100 years later, the Freedom Alliance of the Aliens has gone through many ups and downs, and today, it has nearly 1,000 members from more than 100 countries around the world.

The Alien Freedom Alliance has no headquarters, but the small town of Golden is both the site of the organization's founding and the signing of the United Nations Dark Charter. So, in the eyes of others, Golden naturally became the headquarters of the Freedom League of the Strangers.

Even the members of the Freedom Alliance of the Strangers rightly consider the town of Golden to be their headquarters.

In fact, the reason why Golden Town was chosen in the first place is because of the beautiful scenery and many tourists coming and going, even if other races appear here, it will not be too strange and attract the attention of the local government.

The second reason is that it is relatively remote, and the town's architecture and terrain are complex, which can give people a strange sense of security. At the beginning, the thirty-three supernatural beings from different countries were on guard against each other, and in such a bad situation, it was beneficial for everyone to let down their guard a little and sit down with each other for a meeting.

In these special times, Gold is indeed a great place for the Paranormal to meet.

Perhaps because of tradition, or perhaps to give the order a formal meaning, the Senate also set the meeting place in the small town of Golden.

The top of the hill is almost entirely medieval European-style buildings, and most of the houses and villas have been purchased by world-famous movie stars or business tycoons for leisure and vacation.

As the headquarters of the organization in the eyes of outsiders, the Freedom Alliance of the Strangers has of course purchased a number of properties in the small town of Gold, including a manor villa on the top of the hill that covers the largest area of all the town of Gold.

This manor house was built in the Middle Ages and has a long history. When it was first built, it was not that big, and it was just a holiday home for a princess of the French royal family. Later, with continuous renovation and addition, the house area became larger and larger, and there were more and more supporting facilities, and it gradually became a vast manor villa.

It was in this manor that the thirty-three founders of the Freedom Alliance of the Aliens signed an agreement and swore to form the Alliance. It was also on this estate that the Freedom Alliance of the Aliens signed the Dark Charter of the United Nations with representatives of most of the world's nations.

In addition, the chairman of the organization for each term is also appointed in this manor villa.

Therefore, rather than the small town of Gold being the headquarters of the Alien Freedom Alliance, it is better to say that this manor villa called "Marceau's House" is the base of the Alien Freedom Alliance.

Marceau is the name of the French princess in the Middle Ages, and the house of Marceau, as the name suggests, is the house of that princess.

Of course, at this time, the Marceau House had already become the property of the Alien Freedom Alliance a hundred years ago, and five million dollars a year would be spent to repair and maintain the manor house.

The cheetah off-road vehicle stopped in front of the manor, and the guards at the gate stepped in to find out the identities of the people in the car, and then pulled up the road and rushed to let go.

After parking the car in the parking lot, an old man with a short crutch walked over to the four of them.

The old man was dressed in a black tuxedo, his hair was gray but meticulously groomed, and his face was wrinkled but he had a pair of eyes as bright as a young man.

Liu Xi glanced him up and down, and saw that his clothes, pants and even leather shoes were cut very well and very clean. However, this old man does not have the breath of the witch clan on him, that is, he is just an ordinary person.

The old man bowed slightly to Liu Xi and Arthur, and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Welcome, respected heir of the Lion King family, welcome to Marceau's house." ”

Arthur obviously knew the old man for a long time, and smiled back: "You are too polite, Mr. Jason, this time I will cause you trouble again." ”

The old man bowed slightly, and said in a moderate voice, "I am willing to serve you." ”

After speaking, the old man turned his head to look at Liu Xi, and then the eyes that were as bright as young people brightened even more.

He bent down solemnly, bowed to Liu Xi, and said humbly: "Welcome home, tenth adjudicator, I am your servant Jason Hogburn, and it is a great honor to serve you. ”

The old man's attitude made Liu Xi slightly stunned, and his face showed surprise.

Alec and Alicia were taken aback, looked at the old man in confusion, and then looked at Liu Xi with extremely puzzled expressions.

The two knew the old man, who was the steward of Casa Marceau, who had been managing Casa Marceau's for over forty years for the Freedom Alliance of the Paranormal.

Although the old man was only a housekeeper, he strictly demanded himself by the standards of a gentleman, and treated them with great ability, neither humble, nor arrogant, polite and courteous. Even the attitude towards Arthur just now was only a salute and a "willing to serve you".

But when it comes to Liu Xi, the old man is extremely humble, not only using the honorific title "you", but also calling himself a servant.

The old man's uncharacteristic approach directly shocked Alec and Alicia.

You must know that the old man will not only not salute the two of them, but will directly call them by name, and sometimes even instruct them to do some rough work.

It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!

Alec and Alicia were indignant, but Arthur didn't show any surprise, as if he took it for granted and didn't make a fuss.

Liu Xi didn't understand why the old man was so respectful to her, looked at the old man who had been bent over in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he pondered and said, "My name is Liu Xi, you don't need so much courtesy, just call me by my name." ”

Jason Hogburn raised his head, and this action was quite laborious for him who was bent over at this time: "As you wish, my young lady." ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his old but clean right hand, gently took Liu Xi's right hand, put it to his mouth and gently kissed the back of her hand, and then straightened up.

Liu Xi was stunned, she didn't expect that this old man was so old, and he would take advantage of her and eat her tofu. So much so that by the time she reacted, Jason Hoggburn had already kissed the back of her hand.

She looked at Jason Hogburn's figure, and although the old man was much taller than her, he was clearly aging. If she threw him out with a flick of her hand, I was afraid that the old man's bones would be shattered.

It's cruel and inhumane.

Arthur had been looking at Liu Xi and the old man expectantly, and it was obvious that the old man's act of kissing the back of Liu Xi's hand reminded him of the scene when he first met Liu Xi.

At that time, he also lowered his head to kiss the back of Liu Xi's hand, and then he flew up and plunged into the seawater.

After careful calculation, less than three months have passed, and the past is vivid.

Now seeing that the old man was about to follow in his footsteps, Arthur was looking forward to it. The only unpleasant thing is that he hadn't kissed the back of Liu Xi's hand yet, and this old immortal kiss did.

However, what made him even more unhappy was that the old man had not yet flown out until he straightened his waist, and he was still standing in front of him.

Arthur looked at Liu Xi incredulously, his eyes full of questions.

Liu Xi pretended not to see Arthur's eyes, she had long known that this was an ancient European etiquette, a etiquette when a gentleman was like a lady to express his respect or gratitude.

She didn't understand why the old man was so respectful to her, as if she was his master and his queen, but Liu Xi didn't even know his name when she saw him for the first time.

After thinking about it, she said to the old man again: "You don't need to be so polite. ”

The old man walked over naturally, reached out and took Liu Xi's suitcase in Alec's hand, knocked Alec away with a slight bump on his shoulder, and then said to Liu Xi with a smile: "Miss, please come with me, I will arrange a room for you." ”

After speaking, he walked in front with his suitcase and led the way for Liu Xi.

Alec looked at the old man who was carrying the suitcase in a daze, and his eyes were about to fall. He had known this old man for five years, and it was the first time he had seen him carry something in person, and it was actually to please Liu Xi.

What is the reason for this?

Even when the president of the Freedom Alliance of the Strangers checked into Marceau's House, the old butler only asked the others to carry the luggage for the chairman.

Alec looked at Liu Xi with shocked eyes, and kept guessing Liu Xi's identity in his heart.

Or is the tenth adjudicator more honorable than the chairman?

Seeing that Alec and Alicia were both surprised, Arthur couldn't help but explain in a whisper: "No wonder, the only real masters in Marceau's House are the chairman and the ten elders, as well as the adjudicator. Jason Hogg was the steward of the Marceau House, and only recognized the chairman, senators, and adjudicators as masters. Even I, in his eyes, was just the son of Elder Anderson. ”

"But ......"

Alec opened his mouth to say something, but after saying two words, he didn't know what to say.

When Alicia heard Arthur's words, she was visibly relieved, thinking that this was the case.

The old housekeeper's attitude towards Liu Xi just now really calmed her, and she thought that Liu Xi had some noble status that people didn't dare to look at directly, but it turned out that it was because of the title of adjudicator.

She snorted and muttered quietly, "Her identity as the adjudicator is still up for debate." At the beginning, for some unknown reason, the chairman directly announced that she would be awarded the title of adjudicator, but it had not yet been recognized by the senators, and I didn't know if it counted. ”

Arthur frowned, gave Alicia a stern look, and was about to reprimand her for not talking nonsense, but saw the butler walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and then turned around.

It was clear that Jason Hogburn had heard what Alicia had just whispered.

Of course, Liu Xi also heard it, but she didn't care.

Arthur smiled at the old butler and said, "Mr. Jason, please don't mind, I will punish her." ”

Jason Hogburn looked at him, then at Alicia, her wrinkled face grave.

He said word by word: "The identity of the tenth adjudicator of Miss does not need to be recognized by anyone. You are disrespectful to Mademoiselle, please forgive the Marceau House for not being able to entertain you. You just have to wait here, someone will take your luggage out later, and you can find a hotel in the town to stay. ”

She snorted and muttered quietly, "Her identity as the adjudicator is still up for debate." At the beginning, for some unknown reason, the chairman directly announced that she would be awarded the title of adjudicator, but it had not yet been recognized by the senators, and I didn't know if it counted. ”

Arthur frowned, gave Alicia a stern look, and was about to reprimand her for not talking nonsense, but saw the butler walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and then turned around.

It was clear that Jason Hogburn had heard what Alicia had just whispered.

Of course, Liu Xi also heard it, but she didn't care.

Arthur smiled at the old butler and said, "Mr. Jason, please don't mind, I will punish her." ”

Jason Hogburn looked at him, then at Alicia, her wrinkled face grave.

He said word by word: "The identity of the tenth adjudicator of Miss does not need to be recognized by anyone. You are disrespectful to Mademoiselle, please forgive the Marceau House for not being able to entertain you. You just have to wait here, someone will take your luggage out later, and you can find a hotel in the town to stay. ”
