Season 5 Red Dust Old Things_Chapter 730 Duke's Mansion 1
Shahara saw that the two of them were successfully attracted by his story! He couldn't help but clear his voice a little proudly, and continued: "The murderous house I want to talk about has something to do with this countess! Back then, she was known as the number one horror knowledge network! Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Countess Raphael's life is legendary and strange, and no one has ever been able to really tell her origin! Anyway, it is said that there are no less than a hundred noble children who died for her!"
"Ah? This is too? Why did more than 100 people die for her? Could it be that her charm is so fascinating?" Li Xiaoqiang asked curiously.
"I don't know much about this! Anyway, I'm also hearsay! Another point is that it is said that when she reaches the age of fifty or sixty, her whole face and body are as youthful and beautiful as that of an eighteen-year-old girl! And the secret to maintaining her beauty is the blood of a girl. She used the blood of ten virgins every time she bathed, and every night when she went to bed, she drank a cup of bloody blood! According to later incomplete statistics, this countess had killed nearly 5,000 young girls! The people around her were deeply affected, but because of the power of the countess, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction in public! This strange and terrifying Lee. Countess Raphael, who has maintained her beauty for fifty years by such a terrible method! Then her affair was stabbed, and the whole country was outraged by what she had done! The king of that time gave an order to burn this evil woman! When the king's order was given, the people who had been suppressed for a long time broke out at once! They attacked and burned the evil woman to death in the castle! In the following hundreds of years, every full moon night, there would be bursts of mournful weeping like the tide of the sea in the castle!
Shahara turned her head and slowly said to the two people in the back row: "It's good to take pictures here during the day, and it's better not to come at night!"
The fat man Rhine, who had been frightened by Shahara's story, unconsciously leaned his body towards Li Xiaoqiang, and his mouth trembled and muttered: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned this matter before?
Although this story is a bit terrifying, it doesn't feel anything for Li Xiaoqiang! No matter how you say it, you are also a person in the god refining period, and the heaven and earth on your body are heroic and upright, not to mention a ghost, even if you are a scattered immortal, you have to weigh whether you are sure to kill yourself! This castle looks weird, but if you start to be ruthless, you can tear it down a few times at will! Judging from the exterior wall, although most of the materials used to build the castle are made of large bluestone blocks! But after so many years of wind and rain, there are already traces of gradual weathering. If this outer wall were hit by two shells, it would have collapsed, and if there were any more ghosts, they would have nowhere to stay!
Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, and after throwing this ridiculous idea out of his mind, he casually took out the book of kitchen notes and read it. The records in this secret book can be described as broad and profound. Now that I remember it, it's much more practical than going through the recipe when it's time to use it!
The phantom drove on the highway for nearly an hour, "Butler, are we almost there?" Li Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the villas outside the window and asked.
"Is Mr. Pikatiu tired from sitting in the car?hehe! But don't worry, it's coming soon, as long as you pass this villa area, you can see the Duke's mansion!" said the Saharan butler, smiling slightly.
"Oh! I see!" Just as Li Xiaoqiang nodded in response, the phantom turned a corner and drove down a downhill road.
"It should be over there, right?" Now Li Xiaoqiang can clearly see that there is a huge mansion on the vast plain ahead! And in the surrounding bushes, like the stars and the moon, wrapping it in the middle! The area occupied by the mansion is very huge, and even in this downhill slope, Li Xiaoqiang can see that the mansion in the distance also contains a pool of emerald freshwater lakes! The four avenues radiate out from the east, west, north and south directions of the mansion, and the phantom where Li Xiaoqiang is located at this moment is the direction of the East Avenue!
"Mr. Pikaqiu, do you see the huge mansion? We're about to get there! Actually, we can go straight from the city, but the traffic lights along the way are too annoying, and they will make us spend twice as much time on the road!" explained Shahara as she gestured to the mansion in front of her.
"It's finally here!" As he got closer and closer to the Duke of Slotok's mansion, Li Xiaoqiang could clearly feel that his heart was beating faster and faster.
"By the way, dear Mr. Picardy, I forgot to tell you something! Because the Duke and Mademoiselle have been out for a while, I can't come to receive you personally. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Pikaty, but before leaving, the Duke has already instructed the people below that you are our guest of honor, and you can move freely in the Duke's palace!"
"Well, Lord Duke is usually quite busy, I can understand this!" Li Xiaoqiang nodded and said quickly.
"Hehe, Mr. Picardy, do you know, our Lord Duke has been admiring you for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have issued a special invitation to you to be the chef this time!"
"I know this, and this is also the main purpose of my coming here! I heard that Miss Xiao Lun of your family has a beautiful appearance that captivates the country and the city, and I am here to open my eyes this time! Hehe!" Looking at Li Xiaoqiang, who has always maintained an optimistic smile, from the rearview mirror, makes this Saharan butler a little puzzled! Doesn't it mean that this kitchen god has a very short temper? Why is he so gentle and elegant now?
"Hehe, what does it have to do with me, as long as he's not difficult to get along with!" the shahara butler shook his head and stopped talking.
When the glowing black glossy phantom slowly drove into the door of the mansion, Li Xiaoqiang's heart gasped several times! Although he had long been mentally prepared for the luxury of the Duke's Mansion, when he really saw it, he realized that the strong financial resources of the Xiao Feixu family were far from what he imagined! Of course, this did not include the existence of the royal family of the Great Eagle Empire, a group of extravagant top nobles.
The first thing that caught Li Xiaoqiang's eye was a fountain covering an area of two or three acres. Such a magnificent vestibule, plus the lawn and lake in the backyard are all counted together, according to Li Xiaoqiang's conservative estimate, it must be at least the size of 50 football fields! And then talk about the five-story mansion standing in front of Li Xiaoqiang, it is enough to make Li Xiaoqiang sigh, the royal Kremlin is nothing more than that?
Just when Li Xiaoqiang was still shocked, the housekeeper drove the phantom through the road inside the mansion and drove into an indoor parking lot like a small gymnasium!
"Tsk! It's good to be rich!" Looking at the more than ten luxury cars of all kinds parked inside, Li Xiaoqiang smashed his mouth enviously.
"Dear guests, please get off the handlebars! We're here!" said the butler respectfully to the two guests behind him after parking the car.
"My God! I said Butler Sahara, you just said that I can move freely in your mansion, if I wander back and forth by myself in such a big place, I won't have to get lost?"
"Mr. Pikatyu, don't be in a hurry, I can give you an introduction to the composition of this Duke of Slotok's mansion! After listening to me, you will be able to have a general understanding!" After locking the car, Sahara, the butler who followed him, pointed to the side not far away with a smile on his face and continued: "Mr. Pikaty, please see! We are divided into three large areas here, and the overall layout is a U-shape! For example, the large fountain we just saw when we entered the door earlier is the first A area! It is also an arc of the entire U-shaped arrangement. There are 505 rooms in the whole mansion, of which the fourth floor of the A section is the rooms of the Duke and the Lady! Of course, the Lady has passed away a long time ago, and now the Duke lives alone!"
When the housekeeper Shahara said this, he didn't notice that Li Xiaoqiang's expression instantly dimmed! He never thought that this Xiao Feixu would be a girl who had not been accompanied by her mother since she was a child!
"Area B is the room for the young lady, the young master, and all kinds of guests! Area C is the working area of the entire mansion and the dormitory area of our servants! At the same time, in the near future, it will also be your position, because the kitchen of our entire Duke family is in Area C! In addition to these general structures, what needs to be introduced is also the characteristics of our family!"
"Oh, the characteristics of your family, does it mean the artificial lake in the back?" As soon as he heard the housekeeper say this, Li Xiaoqiang's mind flashed to the large artificial lake he had seen before!
