Chapter 34: A Visit to Jones
Until the end of our meal, Yanni didn't show up again.
After the meal, Bekelis took me on a tour of the imperial capital and visited many well-known attractions in the imperial capital. Later, in the evening, Becellis gathered several nobles of his faction whom he had mentioned in the morning, or representatives sent by these nobles, to end the dinner.
Declining Beccolis's offer to send us back, I took Ellie to wander around the imperial capital at night, and from time to time I found some special snacks and trinkets, which I bought for Ellie. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when we were back at the villa. I took a shower under the showerhead, fished up Ellie, who had sunk in the hot tub as soon as I got back, and dried it, and slept together.
On the third day of my arrival in the imperial capital, after a breakfast of steak, bread and black tea, I asked Odom, who could drive the carriage, to take Ellie and me into the carriage that had been given to the villa by Beccolis, and some pastries that I had bought last night, and drove to the mansion of the Sword Master of Anville, ready to talk to Jones.
When he heard that he was going to the mansion of Lord Anville, the Sword Protector Saint, Odom was speechless with excitement, but he didn't expect that his new master was actually qualified to visit the Mansion of the Sword Protector, and he was more respectful to me. After getting out of the carriage, I walked into the gate of the mansion, and the two swordsmen guarding the door of the mansion glanced at each other, and one of the guards who was closer to me saluted me with a respectful smile: "Hello this gentleman, is there anything wrong with you?" β
I was holding a bag of pastries in my left hand and Ellie in my right hand, and I smiled at him: "Hello, my name is Noron Burton, and I'm here to find Mr. Jones Cage." I came to the imperial capital with him yesterday, and I made an appointment to come here to visit him in the next few days, I don't know if he is at home now? β
The guard nodded thoughtfully, "You are Mr. Norlon?" My uncle did mention that a gentleman named Noron would be visiting today. Please come in, my uncle is at home, and I will show you the way. β
He motioned to another guard and led us open the small door and walk into the mansion.
The Mansion of the Protector Sword Saint was very large, and it took us nearly twenty minutes to walk through a large garden, past two school fields, and a martial arts hall where the sound of fighting was heard from time to time, and came to several buildings with four or five stories high. The guard stopped an old man who was just coming out at the door: "Lord Lady Grassy, please go and talk to your uncle, he ordered the day before yesterday that Mr. Norlong, who will come to him in the next few days, come." β
The name of the man named Growley was an old man who looked to be about sixty years old, but in the other world, where the life span of high-level professionals was more than one hundred and thirty years old, he was definitely more than sixty years old.
The butler, whose name was Gloriy, glared at me fiercely, snorted, and turned and walked in again. The guard saw that I was a little inexplicable, and explained to me with a wry smile: "Butler Glory is the old man in the family, he is already a hundred years old this year, and he grew up watching the young lady. Because my uncle married a young lady and married two more wives, I was very angry, and I even hated my uncle's friends, so I'm really sorry. β
"It's okay," I can understand, and it's nothing for such an old man to make him stare twice: "I know, a thousand mistakes, it's all Jones's fault, I'll count it on Jones's head." β
Seeing that I didn't care, and was going to take Jones's pen with him, the guard smiled 'haha': "That's how good it is." β
Just as I continued to chat with the guard, Jones strode up to me with a surprised smile: "Your Excellency Norlon, I didn't expect you to come so early today, please come in quickly, I have already asked people to make black tea and prepare pastries waiting for you." β
I nodded to the guards who were about to leave, pulled Ellie, whose eyes lit up at the sound of black tea and pastries, and followed Jones into the room. Walked into the room, changed into wooden shoes under the service of the maid, handed over the gift to her, and followed Boss Cage out of the Xuanjian, and after a corridor, I saw a large living room, with a yellow glass coffee table in the center, and a few plates of brightly colored, slightly sweet and fragrant pastries, a plate of cut fruit, a pot of steaming black tea, a stack of white sugar cubes and a few pure white teacups.
Another maid stood aside, and after we were seated, poured us a pot of cold and fragrant black tea, and sat down with her head bowed.
"Come, Mr. Norlon," Boss Cage said, raising his glass, "I know you don't drink, so I'll replace it with tea here, and I will toast you to thank you for helping me solve a big problem." β
"Well, Mr. Jones, don't say that, we're helping each other, and there's nothing to thank you for. Also, Mr. Jones calls me Noron, and I don't use honorifics anymore. I excused myself.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Noron in the future, and you can call me Brother Jones in the future, please."
Poor brother? That's a funny name (laughs). "Please."
After we drank this cup of black tea, the maid lady on the side came up and poured it again for us, and the cold black tea was poured into the cup in a swirling way, and a faint mist was cast in this early summer.
"Brother Nuolong, when you first arrived in the imperial capital, you don't have a place to live, brother, I still have a few guest rooms here, why don't you and your fiancΓ©e stay here with me, and we can communicate a lot." With his hands crossed on the table, Jones invited me with a warm smile, and after changing his name, our friendship deepened.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jones," I politely declined him, "but I was lucky enough to find a job yesterday after separating from you, and the boss gave me a small cottage, and the accommodation problem has been solved, so I don't need to bother my brother." β
"Oh?" Jones was a little curious: "I wonder if Brother Noron can reveal which bigwig with extraordinary vision hired Brother Norlon?" In the imperial capital, there are not many characters who shoot a villa. Karon City is mixed and has many forces, so you have to be careful, brother! β
I stopped talking, glanced at the maid next to me, and Jones understood, and waved her away. Ellie took the opportunity to lift the porcelain pot filled with black tea, and in my laughing and crying gaze, she took the pastry and began to destroy everything in front of her with a big gulp.
I sighed helplessly, pushed my cup of black tea to Ellie, and continued with Jones: "After separating from Brother Jones yesterday, I accidentally met His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of Beccolis in the auction house, and after some discussion, he was hired as a staff member at my difficult request to refuse, and now it can be regarded as working for the royal family." β
Jones didn't have a surprised expression at all, and after seeing the legendary-level magic refining suit again, becoming the chief of staff of the great prince was nothing. With a happy face, he congratulated me on finding a good boss: "His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is courteous to the corporal, brave and witty; He is tolerant and kind, humorous and funny, and he is a leader among several princes. Brother, you can help him with advice, that's amazing. β
"Where is it, Brother Jones is, the first time he arrived in the unfamiliar Xufeng City, he has laid a promise in less than thirty years, and he has three beautiful wives, fulfilling the dream of every man on the continent of Lafiyaa!"
We looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
Ellie was silently eating her pastry, ignoring the hypocritical conversations of the adults.
