Chapter 107: The Viscount
"I'm sorry, the young master is not in the mansion, if you want to find the young master, please find another time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The man in the deacon's uniform bowed his head and apologized to the crowd.
At this time, the three of them stood outside the iron gate, their eyes full of embarrassment.
"Aren't you there?" Sophie looked disappointed, and they found Viscount Horace's mansion under the leadership of Ronald, only to be neatly stopped outside the door.
The mansion is magnificent, and it stands out in the upscale neighborhood away from the main street, with several storeys towering over it that looks more like a landmark tourist attraction.
"Actually, we are adventurers entrusted by Master Nick, and now we are here to help Master Nick solve the ......"
"I'm very sorry, but we can't let you in without an appointment and the young master's instructions. Just as Ronald anxiously explained his reason to the deacon again, he was mercilessly interrupted.
"In that case, there's no way around it. Ronald sighed and turned to shrug at Jasmine and Sophie.
"That'...... When will Master Nick come back?" Jasmine didn't seem convinced, after all, time was limited, and if the mission failed for this reason, no one would be happy.
"The young master has gone out to play, and if you wait here, you will be able to come back in the evening. ”
"Does that mean we're going to wait here until the evening?" Ronald asked, embarrassed, for the two ladies' opinions.
Sophie spread her hands: "No way, we must have clues to find the griffin, otherwise we are headless flies and can only wander around." ”
"Alas. ”
The three of them sighed in unison, and could only stand against the wall by the door.
"Why don't we go around and ask about it in the evening." Ronald suggested.
"No, I can't. Jasmine flatly refused, "Time is limited, we will wait here." ”
Now that Jasmine has spoken, the other two people have no room to back down as helpers.
At this moment, a nobleman's carriage slowly drove not far from the mansion.
Everyone watched as the carriage stopped, and in the carriage behind it, the door of the carriage opened wide, and a nobleman slowly stepped down.
"What are these people doing, and why are they standing in front of my house?"
It was a very arrogant voice.
The aristocratic man in his forties had a disdain on his face, and he was dressed in a very luxurious way, no, in Sophie's opinion, it would be more accurate to say that it was funny.
Although it was not winter, the aristocratic coat was decorated with mink fur, and the colors of the clothes were very dazzling, and he probably became the center of attention even if he stood in the crowd.
Seeing Sophie's disgusted expression, Ronald quietly put it in Sophie's ear: "Hey, don't put on that expression, this is Viscount Horace." ”
"Viscount Horace, is that the young master's father?"
Sophie was shocked, no wonder she thought she had seen this arrogant appearance somewhere, sure enough, her son's habits were all learned from his father.
"What are you afraid of, can he beat us?" said Sophie, rolling up her sleeves.
"Hmm, what's going on, Lord Viscount. ”
Just as Sophie was about to glare back Viscount Horace menacingly, a muscular man stepped out of the carriage.
The man was open-chested, wearing only a thin coat, and his bulging deltoid muscles looked like a lump of pig iron, which was outrageously hard.
The man was at least a head taller than Ronald, and at this time he was glaring wide-eyed at the three adventurers, and poked his mustache with great joy, making Sophie almost laugh when he looked at it.
"Lion...... Lion Tiger Punch ......"
Although Sophie felt happy, both Ronald and Jasmine were so frightened that they unconsciously took a step back.
"What's wrong? you know him?" asked Sophie curiously to Jasmine.
Jasmine hurriedly pulled Sophie aside: "This is one of the few A-class adventurers in Saint-Ul." ”
An A-class adventurer is a god-like existence for two C-class adventurers and one trainee adventurer.
The momentum exuded from the man's body was enough to scare everyone before the battle - of course Sophie didn't feel it.
"Oh, do you know me, are you adventurers too?"
The Lion Tiger punched and narrowed his eyes when he heard Jasmine and Sophie's whispers.
Ronald hurriedly stood in front of the other two and saluted Viscount Horace and the Lion and Tiger Fist: "The three of us are adventurers of the Adventurers Association, and because we have received a commission from Master Nick, we have come to ask for some information about the commission. ”
"Hmph, then why don't you go in while standing at the door?" Viscount Horace looked up with contempt, "it can't be that the thief wants to do something here?"
"Hey, you guy don't want to spew blood, it's your servant who won't let us in!"
Sophie stood up unconvinced, as if she wanted to argue with the arrogant man.
Jasmine hurriedly grabbed the grumpy girl and stopped her.
"Sophie, that's a noble lord! Do you want to die?"
"Hmph, this kind of aristocrat is nothing in front of the little young master. Sophie argued in a low voice, but she listened to Jasmine's persuasion and said no more.
"Hmph, has my unscrupulous son caused any trouble?" said Viscount Horace, who did not look at the three of them directly, but asked lightly.
Seeing that the opportunity had come, Ronald hurriedly said, "The King Kong griffin raised by Master Nick has been lost, so I entrusted our Adventurers Association to help find it." ”
"Oh, did you finally run away with that griffon?"
Viscount Horace shook his head, "I told him not to raise that kind of thing a long time ago, alas, forget it, you guys come in with me." ”
Viscount Horace also seemed to feel that the matter was a little troublesome, and beckoned to the three men, and led them into the house.
The squire at the door hurriedly opened the iron gate and welcomed Viscount Horace in.
Sophie and the others followed, looking at the scene behind the door with a little curiosity.
Behind the iron gate is a vast courtyard, rockeries can be seen everywhere, and some unknown ornamental trees are planted, and the majestic mansion stands behind the courtyard, like a secret treasure hidden in a treasure chest.
Crossing the flat stone path, they entered the house, where the hall was opulent and the dazzling crystal lamps glowed like the sun.
Seeing that Viscount Horace had returned, nearly ten deacons and maids surrounded him.
"Welcome back, my lord. ”
The deacon saluted with the maid, and Viscount Horace did not look at it, but he seemed to feel the heat, and took off his coat and handed it to the deacon.
"You three, come to my office. ”
Viscount Horace coldly ordered, said more, and walked straight to the stairs upstairs.
Sophie hasn't had time to look more yet
