Alfred Manor, a house located in the inner city of Aston, in the south-west area.

However, in this inner city full of all kinds of upper-class people, it is not very conspicuous, even if it is very ordinary.

At this time, Alfred Manor.

All the servants stood apprehensively in the middle of the hall and began to talk in discourse.

"Wouldn't that new nobleman be terrible, you say......?"

"I don't know, I can only hope that he is a good person like Lord Alfred."

Just a few days ago, their original kind master suddenly died in the room.

It stands to reason that these people should have been reinstated as civilians.

But today, I suddenly received a reminder from a certain nobleman, saying that there were other nobles living in this noble manor, so these servants were waiting for the new nobleman here.

But...... There was also a difficulty for all the servants as to whether the new nobles would accept them.

"Hey, everyone, there's a carriage outside, I don't know if it's the new nobleman."

Suddenly, a panting little maid rushed in from outside the hall, and she stretched out her hand to point in the direction outside, and said loudly.

Her words startled all the servants, and they hurried towards the courtyard in front of the manor to meet the new nobleman.

No sooner had they stepped out of the gate than they saw a broken carriage.

Oh my God, this carriage is too shabby, isn't it? Even a random horse-drawn carriage on the street in a civilian area is much better.

"This ...... It can't be the new nobleman, right? ”

"Well, the carriage is so shabby, it really doesn't look like a nobleman's carriage."

Chattering continued to ring out among the servants. They are all doubting their own judgment.

But because there was a centaur warrior standing next to the carriage, no one dared to step forward and expel the people in the carriage.

At the same time, the worn-out carriage finally stopped.

With a click, the door on the side of the carriage opened, and a man dressed as a hunter and a woman in a priest's robe slowly stepped out of the carriage.

"Alfred Manor. Hey, I didn't expect it to be equipped with a servant! ”

After Roland got out of the carriage with the priest Catherine, his eyes were full of surprise and he looked at the dozen servants not far away.

You must know that this is a special "murder house", and when in the game, this place can be said to be a mystery, and no player can solve the mystery in it.

It is said that there is also a legendary prop hidden in this aristocratic manor.

So before returning to Aston City, Roland asked Prince Wicks to give it to him.

I thought that when he came here, he would see an empty aristocratic village. But I never expected that there would be servants left in this place.

"Hello, I will be the master of this place in the future, are you the servants of the Marquis of Alfred?".

Roland smiled slightly, trying to make his tone as kind as possible, and said to the servants.

And while speaking, he also showed the letter of the nobleman he had just received.

“………………”

When he saw the nobleman's letter in his hand, the chatter of a dozen servants immediately stopped. He stared at the nobleman dressed as a hunter with astonishment.

"Hello, this nobleman. We were Alfred's servants in life, but now ...... We hope to be able to work for you. ”

After a while, a woman dressed in a maid's chief costume slowly walked out of the crowd, came to Roland, and said slowly.

"Hmm...... Well, just work as you normally would. And also...... My name is Roland. ”

Roland looked at the good-looking maid in front of him. He groaned for a moment and said.

If he does not accept these servants, then he has to find a suitable servant again. That would be a very troublesome thing, so it might not be a bad thing for these experienced servants to take the initiative to send it to the door.

"Okay. Lord Roland, I'm glad you were able to make this decision. ”

The head maid had a look of joy on her face and bowed slightly to Roland. She then went back to tell the other servants the news, and arranged for them to clean Alfred's estate as usual.

"Hey, Alam, you'll bring your sister later, this will be where you'll work next."

When all the servants had left, Roland turned to the future top thief beside him.

"Huh? Oh...... Good. ”

Alam was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses from the shock.

In any case, he didn't expect that the somewhat ordinary-looking Mr. Roland in front of him turned out to be a nobleman and owned such a large manor.

"By the way, Alam, this money is for you, go and change into a better outfit."

"Thank you, Mr. Roland!"

Just as Alam was about to drive the carriage back to the civilian area, there was a commotion outside Alfred's manor.

"What's going on?"

When Roland heard these voices, his brows couldn't help frowning, judging from the sound, I am afraid that the person who came was not good.

Looking back, I saw a young man in a luxurious costume, with a dozen knights in neat armor, slowly entering the gate of Alfred Manor.

"Hey, you guys, get out of here, this place is already mine."

When Jim saw the few civilians decorating the manor, he hurriedly yelled.

After learning yesterday that the owner of this Alfred manor had died, he rushed over today to take it for himself.

Although he hadn't applied to Duke Heilmann, who ran the inner city, for the estate, it was the same thing for Jim, even if he made it up after the fact.

"I'm sorry, but this manor is already mine."

Roland looked at the man with a frown, as could be seen from the clothes on the other party's body. He was also supposed to be a minor nobleman.

As for those knight guards, they are only in their thirties, and they can't pose any threat at all.

But...... After all, this is still an inner city, so try not to cause any fighting, or it will cause trouble.

"Hahaha, did you all hear that? He said the estate belonged to him. What a joke! When did you civilians start to have noble estates in the inner city? ”

Jim laughed wildly, looking at Roland as if he were looking at an idiot.

You know, a few days ago, this place was still in the hands of another nobleman. Not even Jim himself could have taken ownership of this place in such a short period of time, how could this adventurer dressed as a civilian.

"Catch them and throw them all out there."

When Jim stopped laughing, he hurriedly gave orders to the dozen or so knight guards beside him.

"Yes!"

With a bang, more than a dozen knight guards immediately drew their long swords at their waists and prepared to attack Roland.

"Hmph. I don't know if you're alive or dead, I was going to let you live, the hand of darkness. ”

Roland snorted coldly, immediately raised his right hand, and whispered to the front.

As soon as the words fell, with a snort, a pitch-black arm suddenly appeared in the void.

As soon as Roland's mind moved, the hand of darkness was like black lightning. In a flash of the void, he came to the noble Jim. Quickly grab him all over and hold him high in the air.

From the appearance of the Dark Hand to the capture of Jim, it was only two seconds. So whether it was the noble Jim or the knightly guards, none of them could react.

"Damn. Let me go, you evil magician...... Bastard, come and save me! ”

When Jim reacted, he immediately roared at his knight guard.

But the knightly guards did not dare to take a step forward, for they were being targeted by the arrows of the centaur girl Christie. Little by little, the breath of death was spreading into their hearts.

Maybe Jim didn't know it, but those knight guards could feel that the group of adventurers in front of them exuded an extremely powerful aura.

"Damn it, you bastards! Listen to me, adventurer...... My father is the Marquis of Chapru, and if you do me any harm, he will surely let you taste death. So now you'd better let me go and get out of here. ”

Seeing that the knight guards did not dare to come to his rescue, Jim was also instigated, and hurriedly made an "extremely terrible threat" to Roland.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Aristocrat. ”

Roland didn't care about this at all, the puppet in his hand was the eldest prince of Bluman, could he still be afraid of a so-called Marquis of Chapru?

"You ............"

When Jim heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, and there was an adventurer who dared to talk to him in such a tone.

Just as Roland was about to teach him some lessons, there was a strange aura coming from the European-style house behind him, as if something had been opened.

And there are faint bursts of singing, which makes people intoxicated.

"Hmph, you go, if you come here again next time, I promise you'll leave as a corpse."

Roland frowned, threw a harsh word at the noble gentleman, and then manipulated the hand of darkness to throw him out of Alfred Manor.

There was a muffled bang, and Jim's body was like a leather ball, sliding for a long distance before stopping.

"Master Jim!"

When those knight guards saw this, they were shocked and hurriedly followed.

After examining Jim's injuries, they hurriedly carried Jim and left the place of right and wrong.

"Alam, hurry up and bring your sister in."

Roland patted Aram beside him on the shoulder and said.

Only by keeping these two future top thieves by his side can he completely put his mind at ease.

"Well, I see, Mr. Roland."

In an instant, Alam no longer hesitated, and hurriedly drove the carriage out of Alfred Manor and towards the outer city.

"Christie, Catherine, come with me."

When Alam's figure completely disappeared from view, Roland immediately led the two centaur girls and walked towards the luxurious European-style house.

According to the inductions just now, it must be that the door in the room has been opened. (To be continued......) R1071
