Chapter 007: Phantom

Outside of Nia's cottage, you can see a large garden. A long corridor by the garden leads to Austen's house.

Xue Huan, who was following Steward Jos, was still a little apprehensive at this time. Although he was full of confidence when he first stepped out of the room, this was a world he didn't know after all. Whether it is customs or political civilization, it is strange to him. What's more, there are many things in this world that can't be explained by science, such as spells, and those mutated monsters. As for Xue Huan, he just knew that this was a world full of magic and war, nothing more.

"Why didn't you remember to play more Warcraft at that time!" Xue Huan suddenly had such an idea in his head.

The garden was not too big, and after a while, Jos and Xue Huan came to the front of the main hall. The servant at the door saw that it was old Jos, and did not stop him too much. After saying hello, he turned and ran to the inner room.

Xue Huan followed Jos slowly into the hall. Secretly looking at the layout here, I have to say that compared to Nia's small house, this place is countless times more spacious, and the gorgeous wooden European-style decoration shows the luxurious life of the owner. Xue Huan and Jos stood quietly in the center of the hall, waiting for the arrival of the legendary Lord Austen.

As heavy footsteps drew closer, a middle-aged man appeared in the hall. Looking at the Lord Austin in front of him, Xue Huan suddenly remembered a person at this time, that is, the knight named Farar he met for the first time. However, compared with the awe-inspiring knight, this Lord Austen's eyes were a little more cunning and muddy, and he looked a little weak when he walked.

Xue Huan watched quietly for a few seconds before lowering his head again, waiting for Lord Austen to speak.

Joss saw Austin come out and hurriedly saluted.

"Uncle Jos, didn't I say that you and I don't have to be so polite every time? Seeing Joss coming, Austin came over with a smile on his face and helped Joss Sr. But there is some sincerity in these words, and only Austin himself knows.

"No, no, no, you are the master of this place now, and it is my duty to salute you. Joss said this in a saluting posture. This sentence seems to be very useful to Austen, and the smile that is barely maintained on her face seems to be more "sincere".

"Who is this young man?" After a pleasant greeting, Austin found Xue Huan on the side. And asked.

"This is the child of a relative of mine far away in Stormwind. Since his parents died, he came to me. Joss said slowly. Although Xue Huan was a little stunned in his heart, his expression did not show the slightest abnormality.

"Oh, yes, since you're a relative, you must have made some arrangements, right? I'd like to hear what you think. Austen's expression seemed a little playful at this time.

"Of course, it's up to you to decide where this kid goes, but I've heard that there's been a shortage of people on Knoll Farm lately. If you can, please arrange for him to go to Knoll Farm. ”

Austin nodded, seemingly pleased with the offer. Turning around and thinking for a while, he was about to nod his head in agreement. Suddenly, a coquettish voice came from the attic.

Listening to this familiar voice, Austin seemed to be beaten with chicken blood. swept away the previous decadence and greeted it excitedly. "Daisy, why did you get down. Didn't you say you've been tired lately?"

"It was uncomfortable. But I heard that Joss butler brought back a child from outside, very handsome and lovely. I just wanted to come down and have a look. Didn't bother you, did you?" a bejeweled woman slowly descended from the attic. After she approached, Xue Huan couldn't help but be distracted when he looked at this beautiful face. The tall figure and snow-like skin complement each other, and the thin lips are as attractive as rose petals. The only deficiency is that the eyes are not crystal clear, but a little more sharp and arrogant. No wonder this Lord Austen is fascinated like this, it is really a stunner in the world. Not daring to stay on that face for another second, Xue Huan hurriedly lowered his head and saluted like old Jos.

Austin was not dissatisfied at this time, and supported the woman named Daisy with concern. "Where will it disturb, you can come down, I'm too late to be happy. As he spoke, he pointed in Xue Huan's direction and whispered, "That's the child brought back by Steward Jos, who is said to have lived in Stormwind City." When his parents died, he came to join Jos's housekeeper. ”

"Really?" Daisy was noncommittal, and then said coldly to Xue Huan, "Raise your head and let me see." ”

Xue Huan raised his head and met Daisy's eyes. In less than a second, he was defeated. Daisy's eyes were too sharp, and Xue Huan couldn't resist it at all at this time.

"He is indeed quite handsome, but his body is a little thinner. Put it on the farm to exercise, it's a talent. What do you say, Austin?" Daisy's voice gave Xue Huan goosebumps all over his body. But this Lord Austen seemed to be more excited than just now, and kept nodding his head and agreeing.

"Of course, of course! I'm getting ready to do that. Coughing, Austin pretended to say to Xue Huan: "Young man, for the sake of you being a distant relative of Master Joss, let Ron take you to Knoll Farm to help from tomorrow." There are a lot of people over there who are about your age, and I'm sure you'll get along very well. By the way, you're paid one gold coin a month, is there a problem?"

"No... No problem. Xue Huan didn't know much about the currency of this world, but now he couldn't find other jobs, so he could only reluctantly apply.

Austen turned to old Joss again, "Are you satisfied?"

"Do what Lord Austin does. Joss gave another deep salute.

"Okay, that's it, I'm a little sleepy too. Baby, let's go. Saying that, he stopped caring about Jos and Xue Huan, and helped Daisy to the attic.

Looking at the backs of the Austens, old Joss sighed. said to Xue Huan: "Let's go, I'll take you back to get something." You have nothing but clothes on you, and you can only starve to death in the past. ”

"Uh... Good. ”

Before leaving, Xue Huan looked at the deep attic, and a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. At the moment when he looked at the lady Daisy just now, Xue Huan obviously felt a trace of abnormality, but he couldn't describe it accurately.

Inside the attic of Austin's residence

"Nasty~"

"Come on~ Baby, let me kiss it. ”

At this time, Austin still has the slightest appearance of being powerful just now.

"By the way, baby, I remember not letting the servant bother you. How did you know that old guy Joss was coming? Could it be ......" Austin stared at Daisy with suspicion, looking a little nervous. Suddenly, Austin's serious expression changed, and he laughed: "Could it be ...... Do you know how to tell fortunes?"

"You bad guy~" Daisy secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his pink fist and punched Austin in the chest.

Compared to the laughter in the attic, Jos and Xue Huan walked silently on the corridor.

At this time, Xue Huan was still seriously thinking about his future plans.

"Actually, this kid wasn't like that before. Xue Huan, who was in his thoughts, suddenly heard Joss in front of him muttering something. It seems to be talking to itself.

Child, is it ......? Xue Huan's heart moved.

Without any intention of stopping, Jos sighed to himself as he walked: "I remember that child was very naughty and cute when he was a child, and I often took him out to play. At that time, he was humble and polite to whomever he was, and many people praised the old master and his wife for their good teaching. But since I met the girl, everything seemed to have changed, and the child seemed to be a different person. ”

At this point, Old Jos's voice suddenly became low, as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions. Xue Huan slowly followed Jos's pace.

"Since then, I've watched Austen go from a cheerful boy to a terrible man who is incredibly irascible and greedy. Although he was still as respectful and obedient to me as before, I saw greed and cunning in his eyes now. I brought him up with my own hands, and I know him too well. Old Joss sighed. Xue Huan, who was following him, didn't know how to comfort the old man at this time, so he could only listen to him quietly.

Unconsciously, Jos and Xue Huan came to the door of a house, which should be where old Joss lived, and it was not too far from the entire courtyard. Jos took out the key from his jacket pocket, opened the door, and said to Xue Huan, "Come in, this place is very shabby compared to the Austin house, but it's an old antique." Then he added "the same as me".

After entering the door, he casually closed the door, and Xue Huan, who was tired all afternoon, lay on the wooden bed without any image. Looking at the things in this room, although they look very quaint, they are all spotless.

"You take all of these, and I don't usually use them much. There is also this food, and the food on Knoll Farm will definitely not be too good. You can take these breads with you and eat them over there. Old Joss found a piece of cloth and put some bread and silver coins in it. Looking at the old man's slightly struggling movements, Xue Huan was inexplicably moved. Coughing dryly twice to hide his emotions, Xue Huan put away the package handed over by Jos, and said to Joss suspiciously: "Why are you so good to me? After all, today is the first time we have met." ”

"Huh. Old Joss smiled: "Silly boy, let's take it as the fate of the two of us." “

Seeing that Jos didn't want to say anything, Xue Huan didn't ask anymore.

"It's going to be late at night, so take out the two quilts under the bed, and you'll be on the floor for the night. As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden bed where Xue Huan was lying.

"Hmm"

Night

Thinking that he was going to Noll Farm tomorrow, he should say goodbye to Miss Nia, after all, someone else saved his life. Thinking of Niya's shy and cute appearance when she spoke, Xue Huan's heart itched. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

At the same time, Austin lived in the vault.

Daisy was talking to a blue-purple orb......

"How's it going?" A blue figure was reflected from the orb.

"Big... At this time, Daisy turned pale, and seemed to be very afraid of the person in front of her, and hurriedly said, "Fruit... As expected, that guy did come today, and I went to confirm it in person, just in case. ”

"Well, that's good! Just do what I say. After the matter is done, everything you want, I will satisfy you!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Hmph, everything is in my plan!" looked at the woman in front of him, and the blue figure showed a strange smile.
