Chapter 776: Old Albert, the Painter!
"If I could, I'd better live next door to you as I did in New York, so that I can take care of your daily life."
Old Albert said as he followed Chen Mo upstairs.
Chen Mo naturally wouldn't object, anyway, there were rooms in the castle, and old Albert could choose whichever one he wanted.
If it were someone else, Chen Mo might not want them to live next to him, but the old butler Albert obviously had a different treatment, Chen Mo, like him, also missed the days in the Brooklyn Martial Arts Gym back then, and with a trustworthy old butler by his side, many things would be very convenient.
The two quickly went up to the third floor and walked down the spacious indoor corridor to the easternmost bedroom belonging to Chen Mo.
Pointing to his room, Chen Mo said to old Albert.
"This is my room, you can choose from the next two, but the south one has better sunlight."
Chen Mo's own room is at the end of the east side of the corridor, occupying the easternmost area of this floor, which is transparent from north to south, with windows on three sides, a pleasant view, and a very spacious area.
The two rooms next to each other in the corridor were located on the north and south sides of the corridor, less than half the size of Chen Mo's room, but in fact the area was also very large.
Chen Mo pushed open the door of the room on the south side and walked in first.
Old Albert followed behind Chen Mo and looked at the room, it was already close to dusk in the afternoon, and the sun should go down soon, but the light was still bright.
The golden sunset slanted through the large windows, illuminating the whole room bright and warm.
Albert, who hadn't seen much sunlight for a long time, stared at the sunlight under the window for a long time, then slowly turned his head to look at Chen Mo, nodded and said.
"It's just this one, it looks very comfortable."
"Good!"
Seeing that old Albert liked it, Chen Mo was also very happy.
Although the two are nominally master and servant, and old Albert has always regarded himself as a servant, Chen Mo has always regarded him as a family member and a reliable partner!
Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Mo to treat him like an ordinary servant, and Chen Mo still cares a lot about his feelings.
Asked Albert to help him take charge of Hydra before because he was going to be away for too long and needed someone he could absolutely trust to help him take care of it, in fact, he knew that compared to controlling Hydra in an underground base that did not see the light of day, the old Albert would rather return to the martial arts hall to be with Wang Kun as a companion, or go to the square in Liverpool to continue painting!
Old Albert didn't have any ambition or lust for power, his real hobby was actually painting!
When he first met Chen Mo, he was actually a painter!
Now that Hydra is completely stable, his next return won't be too long, and there's no need for old Albert to stay there any longer.
So Chen Mo took him to the real world for retirement!
After all, this is Chen Mo's roots, and the world of the Avengers will face the threat of Thanos in the future, in case he snaps his fingers again, half of the lives in the universe will disappear, who can guarantee that the old Albert is not one of them.
And here, old Albert can do what he likes to do, too!
After booking the room, Chen Mo said while taking old Albert downstairs to visit the castle.
"Eddie, there are too few oil paintings in this castle, and I can't look at the works of other painters, so you can paint a few more when you have time, and you look at the layout of the hall, corridor, and room."
Chen Mo's words that seemed to be squeezing labor stopped in Old Albert's ears, but he couldn't help but smile.
He has rarely painted over the years, and managing the huge Hydra has taken up too much of his energy, but now, life seems to be back to the past, and he is very willing to pick up the brush again and complete the "task" assigned by Chen Mo!
"As you wish, my lord!"
Chen Mo laughed, suddenly looked at old Albert and asked.
"Eddie, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Old Albert nodded with a flash of memory in his eyes when he heard this.
"I've ridden it before."
Chen Mo knew that the "before" in the old Albert's mouth should have been almost a hundred years ago!
"Let's go, take you to ride a horse, and by the way, get acquainted with your new home!"
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he stepped forward directly and put his hand on the shoulder of the old Albert, and the next moment, without waiting for the old Albert to react, he felt that the picture in front of him suddenly changed, and when he saw it clearly, he found that he was no longer in the castle, but standing on a grassland!
Old Albert looked at Chen Mo and found that he was looking at him with a mischievous evil smile, just like he had scared him when he was dressed up in Liverpool.
Old Albert has long been accustomed to Chen Mo's occasional outburst of little bad taste, and he can't help but feel funny, but Chen Mo will only reveal his true side in front of him, in front of everyone else, Chen Mo will always be the majestic and cold commander, the controller of the hydra!
Albert Sr. did not rush to ask a question, but turned to look at his surroundings.
In front of his eyes, there was a large meadow, it was late autumn at this time, and the grass had already turned yellow, but the vast yellow meadow, the continuous woods, high mountains, and the blue sky and white clouds that met it in the sky, still made the old Albert, who had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, look at it obsessively for a long time.
When he looked along the meadow, he realized that he was not only on a grassland, but on a peninsula jutting into the sea, and the border on both sides of the grassland was the blue water, and the closer side could see the golden sand and layers of white waves on the seaside!
Old Albert finally turned and looked in the direction behind him, and a mountain hundreds of meters high appeared before him, and he was now at the foot of this mountain, not far away, an asphalt road that stretched from the shore wound up the hillside and disappeared into the dense trees.
Old Albert looked up at the top of the hill, a retro castle made of yellow rocks loomed in the shade of trees, and old Albert turned his head to look at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn't sell it, and nodded directly.
"That's right, that castle up there is where we just stayed."
Chen Mo said as he stretched out his arm and gestured towards the grassland in the distance.
"This is my home in this world, and now, it's also your home!"
Old Albert looked at Chen Mo's sincere gaze, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he nodded lightly.
His original home had already been destroyed in the war, when he was in New York, the martial arts hall was his home, in Norway, the Hydra base was his home, and now, this is his home!
