Chapter 50: A Home of One's Own
The snow was still falling, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the streets of Crystal Scars. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I was walking down the road and my shoes were deep in the snow.
Street vendors shoveled the snow in front of their houses and piled up high snowdrifts on the side, and the freshly cleared road was covered with snow again in a short time.
I reached out and caught a snowflake, and a cold touch came from my palm, which lasted for a long time in my hand before it completely melted. I wiped my hands on my pants and turned my head to look at Oriana next to me.
Oriana walked quietly in the snow, her brow furrowed slightly, as if thinking about something, and the snowflakes fell on her shoulders, accumulating a thin layer, and she looked like she was unconscious.
A wisp of wind gathered in my fingertips and blew the snow off Oriana's shoulder, and Oriana shuddered and was relieved of her contemplative state.
Oriana looked up at the sky and unconsciously tightened her clothes.
"This snow is a little cold!" Oriana spoke.
"Yes, it's been raining for two or three days, and the snow is not small, but getting bigger and bigger, which is very unusual!" I laughed and agreed.
"Did you notice, this snowflake is not ordinary snow, it has a faint magic fluctuation in it." Orianna twisted a snowflake on her fingertips and looked at it for a long time, I looked at the snowflake on her fingertips, and inadvertently, a faint blue light flashed on the snowflake, and when I looked closely, it was gone.
"See!" Oriana muttered, "It's been a long time since it's snowed like this in the Crystal Trace!" ”
The snowflakes on Oriana's fingertips lingered for a long time, and Oriana rubbed her index finger as the snowflakes turned into powder and fell from her fingertips.
The house assigned to the Diamond Knight by the Crystal Palace is under a volcano called Toyama, and this large area in front of the mountain is the aristocratic district of the Crystal Trace, and a hot stream from the mountain passes through this place, and then diverges to every house, forming a hot spring in each house.
My house is not in the Diamond Knight area, but next to one of the biggest and best houses in the area.
The biggest and best house can no longer be called a house, it is almost a palace, and from the outside, the entire crystal mark can only be compared to Sindra's palace. My house is a bit shabby in front of it.
Oriana pointed to the big house and said, "This one is mine, and the small one next to it is yours."
I looked back and forth, and a large area around my house and Orianna's house was blank, with no other occupants, and I wondered why my house wasn't in the Diamond Knight district, but here.
Oriana seemed to see the doubt in my heart, and said: "This small house was originally mine, anyway, it is empty, it is better to vacate it for you to live in, after all, you are the only knight in my Demon Spirit Workshop, so naturally you should live closer to me."
Of course I don't dwell on this kind of thing, although this house is not as magnificent as Orianna, but it is much more magnificent than those houses in the knight's quarter, I have never lived in such a good house in my previous life and in this life, I can do anything in this big house in the future, I laugh without shame.
Orianna threw a bunch of keys into my arms: "How to open the door, you don't need me to teach you, right?" Go back yourself! ”
I took the key and clenched my fist at Oriona: "Thank you, little one!" Then he ran towards my house with joy.
"Click!" I twisted the doorknob and pushed the mahogany door in front of me open.
"Hello adults!" Two maids in black and white dresses stood on either side of the thick carpet and bent over me.
I was shocked, I wasn't used to this kind of thing.
"Hello!" I waved awkwardly at the two of them, as a greeting.
The two of them glanced at each other, held back a smile on their faces, and said together: "Dinner is ready, please use it slowly!"
Two men led me to a long dining table, filled with silver plates and knives and forks, and two tall candles burning silently.
"This is, a scene from a fairy tale!"
I exclaimed, reached out and opened a plate, and a roast chicken with a golden brown and strong aroma appeared in front of me, and I swallowed unconsciously. I proceeded to open the next plate. The plate is snow-white, and the meat of some unknown type is stained with white sugar, which is pleasing to the eye. I opened the rest of the plates one after the other, and the mere aroma of the food inside made me a little drunk.
"The life of the bourgeoisie is really corrupt!" I sighed and sat down in my place.
I was about to start when I saw two maids standing quietly with a smile on their faces.
"What are you doing standing there? Sit down and eat together! ”
The two maids looked at each other, and a look appeared in their eyes.
"My lord, we servants are not qualified to eat with you at the table!" The tall maid said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"There are no such rules in my house, and there are so many things to eat, how can I eat them all by myself? Don't be inhibited, come here, come! I waved to them again.
The two looked at each other again, and there was a hint of eagerness in their expressions, but they didn't mean to move yet.
"Yikes!" It occurred to me that Xing Kuli was still in the city, and I had to take her over.
"You wait for me, I'll go out on some errands and I'll be back soon!" I shouted to the two of them and rushed out of the house as fast as I could.
Half an hour later, the four of them sat down at the table and ate happily.
Xing Kuli eats in small bites, although it is not elegant, but it is always regular, but the two maids eat and drink without regard to the image.
During this period, I learned the names of these two maids, the tall one is called Yulan, and the slightly shorter one is called Wind Chime, Xing Kuli feels that she is at the same level as these two people, and she has a name for herself, I have never treated her as a person, I have no opinion on this, and Rose is much easier to call, and it is up to her.
"My lord, you don't know, we've been suffocating us for the past few months!" Feng Chime pinched a yellow chicken leg and said with a fluttering eyebrow.
I ate the food on my plate, looked at the wind chimes that were the same as the two of them, and became interested in her words.
"Magnolia and I are magicians, although we are the lowest kind, but the queen thinks that we are not qualified to be knights, and can only be maids for dignitaries, so we are sent to learn how to be a successful maid. Don't you know, that mother who teaches etiquette is ruthless, and if she makes a little mistake, she will be whipped, Yulan and I are clumsy, but we have suffered a lot! ”
