Chapter 108: The Manor

Toby led the three of them towards the interior of the manor, and the four of them walked across a stone bridge as white as ivory, the body of the bridge was stacked with large stones of the same size, arched across a rushing river, the bridge deck was paved with round pebbles, Thor stepped on it barefoot and felt that the stones were warm by the sun, and there was a warm feeling under his feet.

Across the stone bridge was a simple log cabin, and beyond that was the private land of the lord of the manor, which was different from the land of the peasants whom Thor had seen when he arrived, and was Miss Susie Conrad's own garden.

The gravel road on the small bridge stretched straight into the distance, and Thor knew that the Manor Mansion had some way to go.

Malten wiped his sweat, the noon sun gradually became fierce, and the corners of his forehead had begun to ooze sweat, and his face instantly became bitter when he saw this long road with no end in sight.

But the dwarf Ketuma didn't think anything, and he looked at the green grass around him with great interest, and the large green made him dazzled, and the kobolds who had lived in the sewers for many years had never seen such a scene, but it was rare for kobolds to be as unafraid of the sun as he was.

As you follow the path, you can see the green grass and flowers, and the roads diverge and merge in front of you, and the paths become large roads, and the main roads divide into small paths, which Toby describes as they seem to lead to the mills, sawmills, and pastures of the estate.

Finally, after passing through a wide crossroads, Thor saw a surrounding wall in the distance, far inferior to the wall separating the central and lower districts of Worms, which looked half a man tall and not yet above Thor's waist, but there was indeed no one in Worms who dared not open his eyes to harass the Conrad family's mansion.

The men hurried a few more steps, and Malten had only been out of breath for a short time, but at last they had come to the walls of the manor before the fat merchant was exhausted, otherwise he would have to rest for a while.

"Mr. Jaylin—the guests have arrived—" said Toby as he came to the door, turning to the man standing straight at the entrance, and Thor had seen the square-faced man who had come to the Corner to deliver the letter.

Isgerin nodded, looking at the visitor with an expressionless face, when the group arrived at the stone bridge, there was a carrier pigeon to report, he also waited at the door early, he looked the three of Thor up and down, slightly surprised in his heart, and a little different from what he expected.

The old man who thought he would be taken with him didn't come, but instead a fat man who was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

"Who is he?" Isgerin was sure he had never seen in the Corner—his eyes looked to the side, and it was ...... standing beside the fat man Looking down again, it was a kobold in leather armor.

The corners of Isgerin's mouth twitched a few times, and the appearance of this vile, filthy creature recognized by the people of Worms as a vile and filthy creature in the eyes of the people of Worms made him surprised and angry, this was a disrespect to Miss Susie, and the man clenched his fist slightly, and then released it again - that's it, after all, a barbarian, he can't be too harsh.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and then he turned his gaze to Thor - the tall figure was full of oppression, and the black robe was like a sword scabbard, and the edge was completely restrained, adding a bit of incomprehension to him.

Isgerin's eyes widened, he hadn't seen him for a while, the barbarian in front of him seemed to be a different person, if he hadn't known the details of the other party, he would probably regard Thor as one of the big men in power in Worms, and even the great nobles who ruled a certain place.

No matter how you look at it, the people in front of you don't look like uncivilized barbarians from the wilderness.

"Come with me-" Isgerin finished judging a few people, still said lightly with a blank face, and then turned around and walked in front to lead the way, Toby made a "please" gesture, motioning for Thor and the others to follow, and the few of them walked together into the wall.

It's as if you've stepped into a large garden, where clumps of bright pink oleanders bloom along the cobblestone path leading to the estate, and the enticing aroma of the flowers seems to flow out of the stamens.

A white marble fountain sits in the center of the garden, and the clear water jets gushes out, shining in the sunlight like dazzling jewels, and then crushing to the surface of the water.

Ketuma's small eyes were so attracted by the beauty in front of him that he didn't want to look back when everyone had already walked through the fountain for some distance, and it was the first time in his life that he had seen something like a fountain.

Walking through the garden, Isgerin led Saul and his party to a three-story house of four houses stretched together.

The whole house is made of gray-white stone bricks, the roof is paved with red tiles, the edges are made to look like the castle watchtowers, the second and third floors are open with a grid window made of stained glass, and the first floor is covered with towering round stone columns, carved with vivid reliefs, human and animal-shaped, but more still flowers and grass.

In the center of the house protrudes eighteen stout Omani stones from Armenes, and the beige stone pillars shine like jewels, supporting the porch in front of the main entrance.

As the group walked by, a servant opened the carved hardwood door for them, and Thor followed Isgerin inside, but Ketuma was stopped behind him, and it was rude to visit with a weapon, so the kobold had to hand over his knight's sword to the servant for storage.

"This-" Passing through the door to the house, the antechamber of the house, the smooth marble floor that reflects the human face, the staircase leading to the second floor, and the servants who are prostrate on the ground and constantly wiping them with handkerchiefs, all reflect the status of the owner of the house, which can be regarded as a castle compared to Malten's home.

Bypassing the stairs leading to the second floor and through the corridor behind the front hall, Saul and the others finally came to an extremely spacious meeting room.

The tall roof is made into a trapezoidal shape, which is forced to rise together, making the whole room more open, and there are candlesticks embedded in the wall, and the unburned candles stand quietly, so you can imagine how it will be brightly lit at night.

A soft carpet of bright red covered the floor, covering the whole house, and in front of a fireplace made of various bricks and stones, a girl with long dark blonde hair was sitting on a high seat, looking at Saul and the others with interest.

As soon as Isgerin entered the house, he silently walked up to the girl, and separated from a young maid behind her, and Toby smiled and greeted his master, and reported:

"Mademoiselle—the guests have arrived—" With that, the girl with long dark blond hair nodded slightly, bowed out of the room, and closed the door.

Then Thor heard a quiet shout: "Why don't you come and sit down, since the guests are here?"
