Such a large castle, there are only two rooms that can live in it, that is to say, if nothing else, I am the only one living in the castle tonight, Sophie's little beauty, do you want to know the story of vampires.

"Where do the people who came with me from the imperial capital live?" Lin Xia asked.

"Campbell's butler asked them, and they said that they were all your servants and subordinates, so they were placed in the maid's room on the estate. Sophie added, "We live there too." ”

No, the castle has to be renovated so that everyone can live in it, and the thought of being alone in the huge castle tonight sends chills down my back. Lin Xia also thought about going to the maid's room to live, but the hierarchy of Charlemagne's empire was strict, and in the eyes of the servants, the master and the servant should not live together, especially an old antique like Campbell, he would definitely not agree, and Lin Xia didn't bother to go to him.

"Young Master, I'll take you to the banquet. ”

............

What Lin Xia didn't expect was that the banquet was not held in the manor, but in a hotel in the town, and Lin Xia didn't need to ask to know that the banquet hall of the castle could not be used.

Although it claims to be the best hotel in Xilin Town, it is said to have a history of more than 200 years. But in Lin Xia's opinion, it is really weak, and the scale of this hotel is equivalent to the bathing center of Universal Entertainment at most. But the name of the hotel still surprised Lin Xia - Shangri-La.

The butler Campbell was already waiting at the door of Shangri-La, and after Lin Xia's carriage arrived, he stepped forward to help Lin Xia get out of the carriage and accompanied Lin Xia to the banquet hall of Shangri-La.

There were already more than twenty people waiting in the banquet hall, Carlos's three Hongxing brothers were also there, and the mayor Alex was also there. To Lin Xia's surprise, there was actually a soldier wearing an imperial uniform, looking at the rank of a second lieutenant, but he didn't know what the specific position was.

The people waiting in the banquet hall gave warm applause when they saw Lin Xia entering. After all, Lin Xia had also received the training of nobles, and waved to everyone in the banquet hall in a noble manner.

When the three of Carlos saw that Lin Xia had arrived, they hurriedly saluted Lin Xia and followed behind Lin Xia, like Lin Xia's bodyguards.

Accompanied by Campbell, he walked to the podium in the ballroom. As soon as I stood up, a waiter from the hotel brought me a glass of red wine. Lin Xia knew that he was the master here, and the purpose of this banquet was to welcome him home, so he needed to open it himself.

Lin Xia took the waiter's wine glass and said to everyone present: "Thank you." After speaking, he raised his glass: "God bless the empire, God bless Sealand." After speaking, he drank it all, symbolizing the official start of the banquet.

After coming down from the podium, Mayor Alex was the first to greet him and respectfully said, "I'm here to introduce you." ”

Because Lin Xia returned to the territory for the first time, among the guests present, none of them knew anyone except Alex, and these guests would come to toast Lin Xia one after another, which required Alex to introduce Lin Xia to who was. Although Campbell, the housekeeper, can also do this task, the housekeeper is always a subordinate in terms of identity.

Everyone who came to toast Lin Xia, Alex would simply introduce Lin Xia, in fact, it was an ordinary official in Xilin Town, that is, Alex's subordinates, and Lin Xia encouraged them.

The others are the wealthy merchants of Xilin Town, but in Lin Xia's opinion, these rich merchants are only doing some small business, for example, the person who toasted just now is a leather merchant with three shops. But Lin Xia will also encourage them, and on behalf of the Xilin family, he will thank them for their contribution to Xilin Town.

Everyone came to toast Lin Xia, but only the Imperial officer did not come, Alex introduced to Lin Xia, this officer was a staff officer under the captain of the army of two hundred people outside the city, named Burris, with the rank of second lieutenant. Because this army was here to help the town of Chillin, out of politeness, Campbell sent a banquet invitation to the captain of this army. However, the captain only let this second lieutenant Burris be the representative of the banquet on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.

Lin Xia didn't care if Burris didn't come to toast, so Lin Xia walked around the banquet. Drinking is like this, if you salute me, then I, as the host, should also return the salute to you to show my welcome to the guests.

When passing by Burris, Lin Xia of course ignored Burris and walked directly to the fur merchant. But Lin Xia was stopped by Burris, and Lin Xia looked at Boris suspiciously: "Second Lieutenant Boris, do you have something?"

"Lin Xia, I'm here to ask for money. Burris didn't use honorifics for Linxia.

"What kind of money do you want?" Lin Xia showed a displeased expression, although he didn't care about Burris's tone, but I have only been in Xilin Town for half a day, what money are you looking for me.

"Our troops have been stationed at the gate of Xilin Town for so long, since you have returned, shouldn't you pay some military expenses?" said Burris.

It turned out that this Burris came to me to collect protection money, but who is Lin Xia, the ancestor who collected protection money, said directly to Burris: "If you want military expenses, you should go to the Imperial Military Department to find Mars, not me." ”

Burris didn't eat Lin Xia's set, and said stiffly: "According to the Imperial Military Special Military Order No. 36, the army has the right to ask the local government to bear all military expenses when it goes out to perform tasks. ”

"I am a noble domain here, and I am not subject to this military order. Lin Xia said indifferently: "If you really lack military spending, report to the military department as soon as possible." ”

"Lin Xia, aren't you afraid that we will withdraw our troops?"

But Lin Xia didn't eat this at all, and said lightly: "Do you need me to send someone to send you?"

Because Lin Xia had been delayed here for a long time, everyone at the banquet gathered around one after another, and just heard Lin Xia's words, so some merchants also quipped: "Do you need to send you?" Obviously, this army was not very popular with the people of Xilin Town.

"Lin Xia, the Xilin family is nothing more than a lonely family......" Before Burris's words were finished, Lin Xia slapped him in the face. You must know that everyone present is proud that they are from Xilin, and Burris actually insulted the Xilin family at this time, which Lin Xia can't bear, and Lin Xia can think that his words behind must be very difficult to hear.

"You dare to hit a soldier. Burris immediately wanted to fight back, but reason prevailed over impulse.

"What's wrong with hitting you. Lin Xia took out his ID from his arms and threw it in Burris's face: "Your Majesty personally canonized me as a lieutenant, and you are a second lieutenant who repeatedly calls the name of the commander, and I beat you lightly?"

Only then did Burris remember that Lin Xia had won the first place in the school parade and was personally appointed as a lieutenant by His Majesty.

Lin Xia pointed to the document that fell to the ground and said, "Second Lieutenant Burris, now I order you to pick up the document and hand it back to me with both hands." ”

Burris looked at Lin Xia coldly, but an order is an order, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't disobey the basic duty of a soldier. Squatted down, picked up Lin Xia's documents, and handed them back to Lin Xia with both hands.

With Lin Xia's voice, "Get out." Burris left the ballroom in a gloomy manner.

Although there was an episode of Burris, the banquet was still going on normally, and as the banquet came to an end, the guests left one after another, and some of these guests were full of energy and proud of Lin Xia's momentum. There are also some people who seem worried, worried that after the two hundred people leave, they will suffer a large number of displaced people, and Campbell is one of those who are worried.

Of course, Lin Xia knew what Campbell was worried about, so on the way back to the castle, Lin Xia let Campbell into his carriage, and then opened the safe, revealing the gold coins inside.
