Chapter 144: The Cabin in the Woods
As expected, just after breakfast the next day, Bass personally invited them to the mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was accompanied by his daughter, Sasha, whom the beautiful daughter Barrett had seen.
"How? Are you still happy with that gift? Buzz asked with a smile.
Barrett smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand slightly, even if he thanked him.
He didn't really want to bring up this topic, after all, it was easy to pull hatred.
Martina wasn't in the car, she stayed at the hotel, and Leffy didn't want to take her with her, so she chose to wait for them to come back in the sleeping compartment.
Sasha has tried to attract Mimi's attention since she got into the car, and she has also tried to get into a relationship with Leffie, but unfortunately she is politely refused.
She was in that cold, quiet state again.
Far away, the convoy drove out of the business district and down a straight avenue to Mount Vila, home to Bath House.
The volcano is one of the few attractions in Bertoluta and is now dormant with a dense forest sea beneath the entire volcano.
The mansion is built in the deep forest, and it takes about an hour's drive from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain.
Dozens of kilometers outside this mansion are all private territories that have been confined, and ordinary people can't get close to them.
"It took a lot of effort for me to plant these trees. It's so hot that it's hard for the average tree to survive. ”
Bass introduced them to the sea of trees at the foot of the volcano.
Barrett was very surprised in his heart, knowing that things like trees grow very slowly, and it will take at least decades, or even hundreds of years, for such a lush sea of trees to grow.
And Buzz actually said that he planted it? Could it be that the mature trees are directly migrated over? It's not an easy task!
The so-called people move the living tree to die, this is the truth, it is easy to let a big tree die if it is not adapted.
"That's not easy. It is not easy to complete such a quantity in more than ten years. Barrett praised.
"It's not been more than ten years, from the first tree was planted, and now it's been eight years." Buzz smiled strikingly, it was his favorite thing to bring up in front of others.
The convoy turned up the mountain road and also into a dense sea of trees.
The dense woods shade the scorching sun, and it also makes people feel much cooler psychologically.
Barrett didn't understand, but that didn't mean Layfey didn't understand that this tree was unique to the Covenant and was originally used by them to green the desert planet.
Drought-tolerant, not afraid of heat, and strong grip on the roots, these are the results of magic.
If she guessed correctly, the trees were all magically spawned, so she wasn't surprised that it took eight years to plant such a large number of trees.
It's just that this big boss is really willing to spend his blood, there are at least hundreds of millions of trees in this sea of trees, and the cost is absolutely sky-high.
The magic cannon used by the Nala people is the same energy source, and it takes at least hundreds of thousands of energy crystals to reach the current level.
"Do you still have any of my people with you? I'd love to see it. Leyphy asked with a slight smile on her face, turning to Bass.
I didn't think that I could hide it from this princess, Bas nodded and replied: "There are some, I am a utilitarian, and I don't value any nation or country very much. ”
"When I get to the cold house, I will arrange it for you, you must know him, won't his daughter let me give it to Colonel Barrett?"
Lyphy didn't say anything more, just nodded, and shifted her gaze to Mimi's hair, she didn't like to talk about Martina, and automatically skipped over.
Bass's words made Barrett frown secretly, deep contact with the Nala people is not allowed in the laws of the country, after all, they have been fighting against them all year round.
And the meaning of his words was obvious, he didn't care who ruled the land.
For Frost's loyal soldiers, such rhetoric was harsh.
As both Leffy and Barrett lost their ability to speak, the car fell silent, except for Sasha teasing Mimi with the bracelet in her hand.
This kind of beautiful jewelry is irresistible to girls, but fortunately, Mimi grew up in the slums and was very afraid of this kind of thing that seemed to be valuable.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the mountain mansion.
There are no walls, because there is no need for such a thing, and the style of the building is not a European style for showmanship, but a very ordinary feeling.
With a dark brown log roof, white plank walls, and a large sloping roof, the whole mansion looks like an old-fashioned wooden house in the woods, only more massive and luxurious.
"The whole house is made of wood from this mountain, so it doesn't cost much." Buzz introduced, hearing the two but not believing even a cent, your trees will not cost less than building ten castles.
Walking into the door of the house, the furnishings inside are also catering to the style of the wooden house, and the inside is actually built in a split-level way, using the mountain, the front half of the house is outside the mountain, and the second half is completely built in the hollowed-out mountain.
So from the outside, it looks like it's just a super-large wooden house, but in fact, it's more than ten times the size of the outside, and there are two different styles inside and outside, the contrast is huge but it makes people feel comfortable.
There are all kinds of rooms, reception rooms, study rooms, dining rooms, chapels, and even a small theater.
The bedrooms are even more than a whole floor, and there is no problem accommodating dozens or hundreds of people.
On the lowest floor, there is a large wine cellar with thousands of barrels of wine stored in it.
When he looked outside, Barrett was still thinking, as such a wealthy person, how could the mansion be so simple? How do you know that there is something inside?
Two floors up, two floors down, a study room outside, there are four floors of buildings inside, I really have to admire the people who designed this mansion.
"Your mansion is really good, I have long wanted to not be a soldier, so I will find a place to build a small house, fishing and hunting every day, and my wife and children will be hot on the kang, isn't it beautiful?" Barrett really liked his house, and of course he knew that he couldn't afford a hundred of them of this size.
"The little one is fine, you're too luxurious."
Sasha invites Riffy to visit her boudoir, and Riffie can't refuse such a request, so now only Barrett and Bass sit in the reception room and talk.
Hearing him say this, Buzz came to the spirit: "Do you like it? That's for you. When I designed it, it was built in the style of the ancient earth, and I knew you would like it. ”
“?” Barrett clearly felt that he had something to say, but he didn't catch the point, Earth style? I've never seen it. However, this simple but elegant decoration style is indeed more comfortable than the flashy one.
"Don't dare to be! How can he be? I'm still looking for a small place to retire in the south. Barrett naturally didn't believe what he said and gave it to himself, so he got out of the way.
Glancing at the decoration in the reception room, the ornaments on both sides are all paintings of animals, made of fur, although they are precious, but there is no sense of age.
The retro stone stove, stacked with firewood, is actually a fuel-heating device.
The sofa underneath is also a retro red suede armchair, with a small wooden table between each two sofas with a few small things on it.
"That's not what you say, you're not destined to go south. Can the adult let you go? He also expects you to inherit his authority. His expression hadn't changed much, he was still smiling, but Bass's words weren't so good.
