Chapter III
Herbert's House is a medium-sized medieval manor house with gardens and an old European-style villa. There is also a 39-member servant regiment inside. According to previous veterans, these 39 members were part of the Order that served Peter Herbert during World War I. Since Peter's retirement, he has followed Peter, not only to protect the Lord faithfully, but also to allow the kingdom to accommodate new and powerful new people. Rather than waiting for them to be sent into battle in their old age, the head of the servant regiment and the steward of Herbert's manor was Peter's former apprentice. Alan Hillman, who is said to be the "Knight of Glory" by the royal capital. An old uncle who looks like a gentleman and indifferent on the outside, but has a flame in his heart.
"Uncle Allen, I've brought something, is anyone else there?" said Alice as she walked to the door, to Alan Hillman, who was inspecting the garden in a turtleneck tuxedo. Alan Hillman saw that it was Alice, and then walked to the gate in person, opened the entire door, smiled and looked down at the person, and responded, "The young master is in the reading room for daily study, and this time is almost over." Miss, please come in," said Allen, who walked to the side of the road and bent down ninety degrees, revealing a gentlemanly gesture of greeting. Place your left hand behind you and raise your right hand to face the manor.
Alice stepped into the manor with the basket in her hand, and Alan followed Alice inside. Alice turned her head from side to side, and there were dozens of servants in the garden with scissors who were climbing up and down for pruning. The servants trimmed the grove gardens in many styles, including small turtles with four horns facing the sky, wild wolves with teeth and claws, and tigers with staring eyes and not being angry. Every shape is cut to life, and you will be amazed just by looking at it.
"Uncle Allen, why does the pattern always change every day?" asked Alice, turning her head
Because the lord thought that something new could be discovered by changing the style every day, he ordered him to change the things in the garden every day. Alan responded, and soon the two walked into the villa.
The interior of the villa is more beautiful, and there will be a famous painting or treasure collection on the wall to show the high profile of the owner. But the minimalist furniture balances this feeling, making it impossible for outsiders to guess what kind of personality the owner is. Alice held on to the handrail and walked up the stairs, but Alan didn't follow him, just watched and turned to go out.
Alice straightened her hair and opened the white cloth that covered the basket to see if the contents had been shaken by her haste of walking. After making sure that everything was right, he took a deep breath and walked up to the second floor with his head held high. Walking towards the library, Alice held the handle and spun it open, gently opened the door and looked inside.
The Herbert Library is a veritable "library", with walls and ceilings and large wooden cabinets displaying a wide variety of books. Magic, history, swordsmanship, and anything else are included here, and the construction of the library is led by Herbert's hostess. His mother, Adria Herbert, was a magician and pharmacist, and was the second president of the Royal Bachelor's Society. The thirst for knowledge has reached the stage of paranoia, and in her eyes, neither her friends nor her family can lack knowledge. And the books in this library are all accumulated by Adria throughout her life.
At this moment, in the library, a young man leaned on the sofa and straddled his legs to look like a hanger. Head up at the ceiling. The young man is slightly delicate, and his dark blue pupils make people feel the clear sea in his eyes. The body is slightly muscular, and it can be seen from the appearance that he is a martial arts practitioner. This person is the young master of the Herbert family: Theodore Herbert.
Alice was stunned as usual, but she sighed and walked in and closed the door. Carrying the basket and placing it on the table in front of the person, he then bent down to arrange the books on it and complained, "I really don't know if I come every time I come to be a servant or what I do, to serve you, the young master of a rich family." With that, Theodore came back to his senses and looked down at Alice's sideways. A look flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth lowered and said, "Oh, how can this be called a servant for the young master of a rich family." It's just what you like," Theodore retorted and mocked
With that, Alice picked up a thick book and smashed it on the head. With an "ahh Theodore poked his head out of the couch and poked his head out on the couch to look at the "hideous" Alice and yelled, "Hey, why do you have to hit me every time you come!" Alice stomped on the table and picked up a book from the table. Frightened, Theodore hurriedly poked his head down and whispered, "Damn...... How can there be such a terrible girl, who can really marry like a man? Or maybe you're lucky by now!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and crawled away. When Theodore turned around, a shiver suddenly came up. I don't know why, Theodore stood up, sweat beaded on his forehead, showed an embarrassed smile, and said, "Ahhh I don't know what my aunt made delicious? I'm really looking forward to it~"
And next to Theodore, a woman exudes danger and stares at Theodore with "death". When Theodore was sneaking in just now, Alice was already crouching next to the person. Listen to all the words in your ears and memorize them firmly
"Let's eat~"
"Bastard!
"Ahh!!!!!!!!h
As the sun sets, every guy who has worked hard to carry the meal arrives home to rest with the fatigue of the day. Enjoy dinner with your family and talk about the fun of the day, but some people are really destined to live in their memories. No zuo No die
"Today's tomatoes are really fresh~ I'm in a much better mood" Alice held a tomato in her hand and nibbled on it in a beautiful mood. And beside the people, Theodore, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was beaten into a pig's head, eating silently with a sandwich in his hand, and there was a tigress by his side who did not dare to make any mistakes at all. What's more, after being beaten violently, he didn't even dare to turn his eyes. According to Theodore's thoughts, "Death is like the wind, always with me." ”
"Speaking of which, Uncle Peter has been gone for so long. When will you be back?" Alice asked, turning her head to think of her halfway through her meal
"I don't know, I heard that the kingdom has an important decision to let Daddy go to observe. After a few words, he left, and he didn't say when he would come back. ”
Alice put down the food in her hand, took out the iron sword given by the craftsman from the side, handed it to the person, and said, "Well, the craftsman uncle helped me build it." You see how. Theodore took the sword and did not take the scabbard and drew it. Instead, he stroked it lightly with his hand, and began to chant strange incantations in his mouth
"My faith, Horace, the god. Give us the martial arts we seek, and give us the power to destroy our enemies and maintain peace. Theodore closed his eyes and focused, and after a few consecutive silent recitations, the iron sword suddenly began to flicker. Alice's mouth froze in an O-shape, and when the light of the iron sword stopped flickering, Theodore took a bite of his sandwich and handed the sword to the man.
"Wow, what kind of magic spell is this, and why does it carry the name of the Lord God?" Alice said in surprise, and took the iron sword. When she closed her eyes and focused, an unfathomable aura came out. Alice shuddered and immediately stopped her current actions, her expression not as good as before. On the contrary, I feel a little breathless, and when I look at the sword, I feel that the sword also has a pair of eyes looking at you.
"It's just a spell from the eighth god of the twelve main gods of Ouken, add an attribute to your sword. Theodore chewed on the sandwich in his mouth and turned his head to look at the human appearance.
