Chapter 121: Olivia Manor

A few minutes later, the hell train finally stopped at the destination of this supernatural mission...

After Zheng Xuan explained the precautions when getting off the train to several newcomers for a while, a group of people walked off the train under the leadership of Zheng Xuan, and then, everyone fell into complete darkness, although the three newcomers were a little flustered, fortunately, Zheng Xuan explained that they calmed down, and about a minute later... The field of vision gradually regained clarity.

As soon as the vision became clear again, the three newcomers hurriedly turned back to look for the inexplicable missing train, but the veterans immediately began to observe the surrounding environment...

After observing for a while, everyone found that they were in a very beautiful meadow, and the surrounding environment was very beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds and the air were fresh, giving people a very fresh and pleasant natural beauty, but even if the wind shadow was beautiful, it had nothing to do with these reincarnators, that was because... Just a few hundred meters in front of their line of sight... There is a large estate.

The first thing that catches your eye is the first section of the fence that surrounds the entire manor, these walls are composed of white rectangular pillars connected to countless vertical iron fences, and the iron gate in the middle uses multiple patterns to decorate the entrance of the entire manor with a very artistic atmosphere, and the eyes are a long and beautiful road after crossing the wall, and the road is still lined with lush plants and flowers, and except for the middle road, The rest of the ground is almost covered by a wide area of grass, when the line of sight is finally fixed on the front, you will see a tall and wide three-story house, in front of the house there are also many artistic sculptures and a flower garden on the left and right, the whole house as a whole gives people a strong classical European style, as for this big house is naturally the core of the whole manor,

That's right, this is the Olivia Estate in England in the early to mid-19th century, in 1839 AD.

Observing this, He Fei, who was standing on the left side of Zheng Xuan, finally couldn't help but say, "It's beautiful, whether it's scenery or architecture, and from the geographical point of view, this Olivia Manor is located in the suburbs, far away from the town, from our location, it is simply a paradise, it seems that this rich man in the West really knows how to enjoy life." ”

However, as soon as He Fei's words were finished, Cheng Ying, who had been silent, poured cold water on He Fei at an inopportune time, only to see Cheng Ying then look at He Fei with disdain and said, "Hey, hey, you're really thinking too much, don't forget that we are now in 19th century Europe, do you think this vast luxury manor can be lived in just by having money?" ”

He Fei froze slightly after hearing this, and then asked Cheng Ying in a puzzled tone, "What do you mean?" Isn't it? ”

But this time Cheng Ying didn't speak, it was because Zheng Xuan on the side spoke...

"Putting aside modern Europe, before the mid-19th century, no matter which country in Europe was basically ruled by the aristocratic system for a long time, which is different from our ancient Chinese imperial examination system, so for a long time, European countries, whether military or civilian, are almost in the hands of the aristocracy, unless they have made a very special or significant contribution to the country and may be knighted and promoted to the nobility, otherwise they will always be commoners, And the kings of Europe have also set up a very sound noble title system, in general, most of the noble titles are hereditary, European kings or queens have contributed to the country of the nobles to reward or promote, usually speaking, the European noble titles are divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, barons five ranks, but the title does not represent an official position, just a status symbol is also a symbol of the status of the canonized in this country, However, after having a title, he also has the right to obtain official positions, and the monarch will reward land, residences, slaves, etc., according to the level of the title of the person being rewarded, and sometimes even appoint him to rule over a side of the people, as for the aforementioned dwelling, that is, the manor where the nobles lived. ”

After saying this, Zheng Xuan slowly turned his head to look at He Fei, and then continued: "In other words, the manor we are about to enter is likely to be the place where the noble families live. ”

After Zheng Xuan's words were finished, He Fei's face suddenly turned red, but then he said with a smile, "Haha, Sister Zheng Xuan is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, and she really knows a lot." ”

But in fact, this is not to blame He Fei, after all, he is just an ordinary college student in China, not to mention that the discipline he is studying is not a history department, so there is a problem at this moment.

Zheng Xuan didn't continue to say anything after saying these words, but Zhao Ping on the side walked to Zheng Xuan's side after holding his glasses, and at the same time looked at the manor in front of him and said, "As mentioned in the mission information, we will be given an identity by the mission after entering this supernatural mission, and we can live in the manor, which should be no problem, right?" ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "Well, no problem, although there are very few cases where a reincarnator is given a specific identity by the task after entering the mission world, it does not mean that there is none, for example, when I first entered the cursed space, the first supernatural mission happened to encounter the supernatural mission that gave the reincarnator a specific identity, so there is no problem with this identity, as long as you are given an identity by the task in a world of supernatural tasks, then your identity will never change in the eyes of the people of this world." ”

Zhao Ping nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, but Zheng Xuan on the side looked at the time on her watch at this time, and then she exhaled and turned around and said to the 8 people behind her, "It's been nearly 10 minutes since we entered the mission, let's enter the manor as soon as possible, the mission requires us to stay in the manor for 7 days, if we keep hesitating, I'm worried that the mission is likely to have unknown changes that are unfavorable to us, so let's go over first, and if there is anything to say in the manor." ”

The crowd did not hesitate, and then they walked towards the gate of the manor in the distance.

The distance of a few hundred meters is not a long time, it can be regarded as fleeting, the reincarnators quickly came to the gate of the manor, but after coming to the door, they found that the iron gate about 2.5 meters high was actually closed, of course, the door is closed does not mean that there is no one at the door, yes, at this moment there are two 'lobster soldiers' standing at the door of the manor.

I believe everyone knows that the outfit of the British soldiers during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance was a red vest with a swallowtail on the hips, white pants and black riding boots, a black high hat on the head, and a flintlock smoothbore gun on the back, which really looked like a lobster from a distance, so the British army at that time was jokingly called the lobster soldier by the Chinese.

To get back to the point, when they saw a group of reincarnators coming to the gate of the manor, the two British soldiers in charge of guarding were slightly stunned at first, but after seeing everyone's dress and appearance, they instantly transformed into surprised looks.

But even the expression of surprise was still fleeting, and then the two soldiers exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then one of the soldiers with the same beard as Zhang Hu took out a black and white photo from his arms, and nodded slightly after carefully examining the faces of the people in the photo, and then the soldier stepped forward and said politely to everyone, "Are a few Qing nobles who came here from the far east?" ”

Qing Guo?

As soon as the soldier's words fell, most of the people here were slightly stunned, but Zheng Xuan did not have the slightest discoloration, she also walked in front of the soldier, and said to him with a smile, "Sir, you are right, we are indeed from the Qing Kingdom. ”

"Ah, it turns out that you are the princess of the Qing Kingdom who will come to the manor as a guest in the next few days, as our earl said!"

After seeing Zheng Xuan's appearance exactly like the one in the photo, the soldier was hurriedly startled, and then immediately bent down to Zheng Xuan in front of him and made a gentlemanly salute.

Another soldier pushed the door open a crack after learning Zheng Xuan's identity, and then he hurriedly ran in, as if to report it.

I didn't expect the identity assigned to Zheng Xuan by the mission to be so, Zheng Xuan turned out to be a Gege (in the eyes of Westerners, Gege is equivalent to a princess)

After hurriedly finishing the salute, the bearded soldier continued to say politely, "Your Royal Highness, Honorable Princess of Qingguo, are the group of people behind you your servants and guards?" ”

It turned out that the task was only arranged for Zheng Xuan alone, and he and the reincarnation were not arranged at all, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is naturally impossible for her to go out alone, so it is not necessary to arrange the task with the princess.

It is also worth mentioning that in the middle and early 19th century, that is, in 1839, China was in the Qing Dynasty, and the Yapian War that broke the backbone and self-confidence of the Chinese had not yet broken out, and the period that really made the Chinese looked down upon by Westerners was from the Yapian War in 1840, the international status of the Chinese began to decline rapidly and finally fell to be completely looked down upon by Westerners, but now it is 1839, and the Sino-British Yapian War has not yet broken out, Therefore, in the eyes of Europeans at that time, the status of Chinese in the international community was not low, at least in the eyes of Europeans who had not been abroad at that time, Chinese were still rich local tycoons.

Getting back to the point, hearing the soldier say this, Zheng Xuan immediately nodded, and after seeing that it was confirmed, the bearded soldier also nodded, and then walked to the gate and pushed the left and right doors of the gate open.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, please."

Zheng Xuan nodded with a smile, but he didn't walk in immediately, but stretched out his hand and took out a golden bean from his bag and put it in the soldier's hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for the reward!"

Zheng Xuan didn't speak, and then she took the lead, and the rest of the reincarnators followed behind and walked into the manor.

After seeing a group of reincarnators walking in, seeing that there was no one around, the soldier did not hesitate to put the golden bean in front of his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and then showed a surprised expression and said to himself, "Oh, God, no wonder I have heard that the Qing Kingdom in the east is the richest country in the world, and this sentence is indeed true..."

Leaving the soldier aside, the reincarnators who had all entered the manor at this moment were walking towards the large classical house about 300 meters ahead.

On the way to walk, except for Zheng Xuan, who was walking in the front, the rest of the reincarnators behind him all looked stunned, for two reasons, first, although it was mentioned in the mission that their group of reincarnators would stay in this manor as distinguished guests, they didn't expect that the identity arranged for Zheng Xuan would be so noble, a princess, and another thing they didn't expect was that this manor turned out to be the home of an English earl!

In ancient European titles, the earl is a very powerful title, in most cases the earl has the right to rule several counties, its rights are equivalent to the Chinese governor of Liangjiang, but the identity and status of the earl is much higher than the latter, after all, the governor of Liangjiang is only an official position, and the earl is a hereditary noble status, no wonder this manor will have a special soldier guard.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hu on the side smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that the task was assigned to Zheng Xuan as a princess, but if you think about it carefully, only Zheng Xuan is the most suitable to play the princess in our group, both in appearance and temperament, ah!" By the way, I'll be the commander of the guards! ”

"You go and be the chief eunuch!" Cheng Ying, who was on the side, immediately mocked Zhang Hu after hearing his words.

However, this time Zhang Hu didn't get angry when he heard this, he just raised his hand and touched his beard, and then turned his head to Cheng Ying and said proudly, "Hehe, it's a pity, have you ever seen the chief eunuch with a full face of scum?" And with my body and physique, no matter how you look at it, it can't be related to the eunuch, if you want me to see it, I am still the most suitable to be the commander of the guards, but you kid is suitable to play the role of a eunuch based on your appearance, as for Xu Hui, play the maid of Princess Zheng Xuan, He Fei is also simple, he will lead the three newcomers behind him to be miscellaneous servants. ”

However, Zhang Hu was stunned after saying this, and then continued: "If you want me to see, in addition to you Cheng Ying, we have a suitable candidate here to play the chief eunuch." ”

But Zhang Hu didn't say the following words, but careful people will notice that Zhang Hu said that at the same time... The corner of his eye involuntarily skimmed to Zhao Ping, who was walking on the right side...

Along the way, Zhang Hu and Cheng Ying were arguing with each other, but what everyone didn't notice was that Zheng Xuan, who was walking in the front at the moment, had already frowned, and he was not at all as calm as when he talked to the soldiers at the door before...

Yes, Zheng Xuan, who was walking ahead at the moment, had a vague feeling of chills all over his body... And it was about the house in front of it, and the cold feeling became more and more intense... This kind of cold is not really cold, but the cold that comes into contact with her heart or sixth sense, so it also gives her a bad premonition, but one thing she can be sure of...

The skeleton ghost... Absolutely hidden in that house!
