Chapter Twenty-Three: Dismounting
Eden Manor, here has a history of more than 500 years, don't underestimate this manor located outside the city of Zur, Eden Manor has experienced the Dark Ages, after the historical changes such as the Imperial Civil War, it still stands to this day, this is the largest trade point of red mines, storage, transit, and large quantities of red ore can not be bypassed here.
Compared with Eden Manor, more people like to call this place the Garden of Joy, because the main red ore here, not some kind of industrial mineral or jewelry, the main role of red ore is hallucination, after special treatment of red ore, after contact with the oral mucosa, it will enter the blood system at a slow speed, and finally hallucinate, which is actually a natural sedative, can also be used for medical treatment, psychiatric treatment and other fields.
The main buyers of red ore are the aristocracy and the middle class, and the terrible thing about this stuff is that it is not much more harmful to the human body than smoking, at least as Eden Manor claims to be.
In fact, there is a lot of risk of holding red ore in the mouth, once it is too high and swallowed, it will not have half a life even if it does not die, causing irreversible damage to the nervous system.
The empire has repeatedly proposed to ban the private sale of red mines, but the councilors have supported Eden Manor, probably because more than 97% of the people in the empire cannot afford to buy red mines, and the addiction is not too strong, and red mines are still being sold today.
As the owner of Eden Manor, Sir Eddie's power in the city of Zur can be imagined, under the monarch is the councillors, after feeding those councillors, except for the monarch Harold, he is not afraid of anyone in the parliament palace, let alone the middle and lower officials, those people see him, but to call him Sir respectfully, Joshua Eddie is definitely a man with eyes and hands.
Eden Manor covers a large area, a maid walks through the fields of the courtyard, the hounds in the cage bark loudly, trees, lawns, flowers, everything in the manor.
In front of the iron bars of the manor, several gunmen raised by the Joshua family were chatting, they had cigarettes in their mouths, but they were not essentially different from the hounds in the cage.
"When will that Kukulin that the master said arrive?"
"I don't know, I'll bring the hound out later."
"It's not good, it's a guest after all."
"That's what the lord meant."
"Heh, then we'll treat him well."
An hour later, more than 20 gunners, led by seven or eight hounds, stood at the door, these hounds were quiet after leaving the cages, and the fierce gaze was because they had eaten people, and the red mine business was not selling sand ponds.
An old-fashioned car pulls up from a gravel road with trees planted on both sides to block out the hot midday sun.
Crunch~
The car stopped, a puff of green smoke came out of the hood, and it was obviously rude to drive into the estate as a guest.
At the gate of the manor, a sharp-eyed gunman looked at the driver's position, and the next moment, he was stunned, because the driver was actually a dog!
"Dog, dog driving."
"What?"
"Don't talk nonsense, even if the master lets us 'greet guests' here, we can't offend guests, that's not a small person."
"It's really the dog driving, you see."
In the stunned eyes of the gunmen, Bu Buwang pushed open the door of the cab, got out of the car and kicked the tire, which clearly meant: "What a broken car." ”
The group of gunmen in front of the manor, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little confused, but fortunately, it didn't take long for them to recover from their bewildered emotions, because ...... The guests they greeted were somewhat vicious.
If you look at it alone, Gus is definitely the most brutal in appearance, of course, this is because Reinhardt is more moral, he covers the lower half of his face with his collar so as not to scare children, from many details, it can be seen that Reinhardt is actually a gentle man, provided that he does not fight ghosts.
As soon as he got out of the car, Su Xiao knew Sir Eddie's attitude, and made a bunch of gunmen and dogs to greet him at the gate of the manor, the meaning was self-evident, this was dismounting.
Hank, the old fellow, was very clever and took the lead towards the gate of the manor, and before he could step forward, the hounds began to retreat with their tails between their legs, they were not afraid of the living, but whether Huck was a human or not was a human was to be considered.
Su Xiao took Bu Buwang and the Eyeless team and walked towards the manor, those gunmen were not exactly cowards, after all, they were holding the wages of the Joshua family, so they stood in two rows at the door, holding shotguns, staring at Su Xiao and the others, however, Su Xiao ignored them.
Sir Eddie is just showing an attitude, even if Su Xiao is the deputy head of the execution organ, Sir Eddie, who has the support of the councillor, is not afraid of Su Xiao, and even wants to give Su Xiao and the others a disadvantage.
Walking on the stone road of Eden Manor, far away, Su Xiao saw a famous middle-aged man standing on the platform on the second floor of the castle, an old man behind him, and several maids in the back.
The middle-aged man is Sir Eddie, he has a beard, and his hair is oily backwards, not the image of a pot-bellied poop, Sir Eddie has the charm of a middle-aged man, but as a drug lord in the ghost world, the kind of ruthlessness revealed from his bones, he is not destined to be a good person to get along with.
"Deputy Commander Kukulin, the last time we met was at a dinner party half a year ago."
Sir Eddie stepped off the stage with a smile on his face, but he bit the word 'vice' very hard.
"Did we meet half a year ago?"
"Uh~"
Sir Eddie's footsteps slowed, obviously choked by Su Xiao, the old man behind him frowned, and touched Sir Eddie's back with his thumb at an angle that no one could see.
Sir Eddie's face soon softened, and he took a puff on his pipe, not only not annoyed, but more enthusiastic.
"I'm a small role, of course the deputy commander of the Kukulin army won't remember, don't talk about this, the deputy commander of the Kukulin army is here, please come inside."
Seeing Sir Eddie's attitude, a smile also appeared on Su Xiao's face, if the other party was angry just now, Hank, who had been preparing for a long time, would immediately intensify the conflict, and then it would not be a lunch, but a search, and the search order Su Xiao was ready, but the people behind Sir Eddie were difficult to entangle, and there was no excuse, even if there was a search warrant.
As the owner of the castle, Sir Eddie is of course sitting in the first place, on his right side is Su Xiao and others, Bubu Wang is of course also in the right position, and on the left side of Sir Eddie is his family.
Sir Eddie's wife, his own sister, has passed away, and this kind of family has been passed down for many generations, and consanguineous marriages are the norm, and now Sir Eddie's eldest daughter, second son, and three younger daughters are here.
No one spoke at the table, so Su Xiao and the others leaned back on their seats and watched Sir Eddie's family eat, which made Sir Eddie's face more and more ugly.
"Deputy Commander Kukulin, you invited me to lunch, just to watch our family have lunch?"
Sir Eddie chewed on the veal in his mouthful, and the blood-red juice ran down the corner of his mouth and fell on his beard, and if it weren't for the vicious looks of these guys at the table, he would have slapped the table and turned his face.
"Reinhardt, don't be restrained."
Su Xiao picked up the cutlery as he spoke, and Reinhardt was even more straightforward, directly picking up the steak on the plate, tearing open the neckline, and tilting his head to put the steak in his mouth.
Grunt.
Swallow in one bite, no lips can't chew finely.
“……”
Sir Eddie was visibly surprised by Reinhardt's appearance and surprise, and his little daughter burst into tears.
"Sir Eddie, there's no need to keep going around the bend, where is that ghost? Or on which floor of the castle? ”
