Chapter 30: Tersu Martial
Walking along the main road of Raven Town, in less than ten minutes, a large manor comes into view, the manor and the whole town are separated by nearly 200 meters, independently occupying a piece of land with the best view on the slope, the towering Gothic buildings are very conspicuous, different from other tall buildings in the town, the appearance of the buildings in the manor is very clean, and it has been repaired all year round, and there is no sense of dilapidation, but there is a thick sense of history.
The estate of Tersu, the owner of the Leviathan Postal Company.
Now the only way to get books and musical instruments is here, and you can't go home empty-handed.
In addition to seeing if we can get books and musical instruments, another purpose of coming here is to test the relationship between the Money Trust and the Order Church.
It's a bit risky to have Ryan open a shop on the street to interview the relationship between the two, and it's a good excuse to get in touch with books and musical instruments to avoid unnecessary dangers.
Ronin stood at the gate of the manor.
The gate of the manor is made of iron plates, and there is a special inlay on it with an iron plaque that reads Leviathan, with the suffix Tersu Martial, in addition to the shield-shaped coat of arms, which should be the family coat of arms of Tersu, and when you look closely, you find that the back of the shield badge has been polished and almost invisible.
Half gold and half silver numismatic design......
Suddenly I remembered the carriage driven by the rude coachman on the street, and there was also such a pattern on the car, and it seemed that the carriage belonged to Tersu Martial.
Knock on the iron door.
After a few moments there was no response, and Ronin was about to knock a second time when the door opened a crack.
A man with the appearance of a subordinate head stuck out and looked suspiciously at the young man at the door.
"Do you have an appointment or an invitation?"
I didn't expect that if I wanted to see Tersu, I still needed to make an appointment or an invitation in advance, Luo Ning spread his hands.
"Well, I didn't have an appointment, but I ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the head had shrunk in, intending to close the door.
Luo Ning's eyes were quick, and he put one foot into the crack in the door, and it seemed that he had to try in advance that the identity would not work, and put his head in front of the open door.
"Please tell Mr. Tersu that the people of the Order Church want to see him, and there is something very important."
The servant looked at the young man outside through the crack in the door, frowning, obviously dissatisfied, and hesitated for a moment before responding.
"I'll pass it on, now please take your feet back."
Pull your foot back and close the door, and stand in the doorway waiting for a response.
About half an hour later, the iron door slowly opened when Luo Ning, who had lost all hope, was about to leave.
A tall, thin and elegant old man in a standard tuxedo walked out, with pale hair, and walked to the door, bending down respectfully in front of the young man who was about to leave, with one hand on his chest and bending down respectfully.
"I've kept you waiting, but I just remembered to tell me about the door, and as Mr. Martial's butler, I apologize to you for your previous neglect."
The subordinates didn't take their words seriously, and sure enough, it was the king of Hades who was hard to find.
It can be seen from the fact that the other party specially sent a housekeeper to greet him and solemnly apologize, it can be seen that the other party attaches great importance to his identity as a member of the Order Church, and the relationship should be very good, so the Parrot Flying Express Company can use the identity of a member of the Order Church as a cover to avoid being hit.
"Mr. Martial is already waiting in the drawing room, please come with me."
The butler bent over and stretched out his hand to signal enter.
The interior of the estate is not small, only a small part of it is seen from the outside, and when you enter the interior, you find that it is a complete paradise, with a pebblestone path leading to the manor house buildings, interspersed with meadows and flowers, and a man-made lake in the green area not far away.
The journey lasted about five minutes, and on the way Ronin stopped by to ask a little about Anthony Martial, so as not to make jokes because of unfamiliarity after the meeting.
Entering the Gothic building, there are huge picture frames and ornaments such as vases and armor, and you climb up the spiral staircase on the central pillar of the hall on the first floor.
On the second floor, through several corridors, to a room door, the butler stepped forward and pushed open the door that had been painted with red paint.
"Mr. Martial is inside, please come in."
When he arrived here, Luo Ning suddenly felt a little inferior, the cloak on his body was not as good as the clothes of other people's housekeepers, patted the dust left on the hem of the cloak when walking on the road, and stepped into the room.
What catches your eye is the large living room, more like a study to be precise, with a lot of bookcases and wine cabinets against the wall, in which some decorative vases and books are placed, and the visual area is 200 square meters, and at the same time, the higher part of the wall is covered with all kinds of paintings, all decorated with silver frames, and the waxed floor is smooth and new, almost as bright as a mirror.
On one side of the wall is a large fireplace, which is lit to keep the room warm.
In the center of the living room, there is a circle of sofas, which look like they are sewn from some kind of animal skin, which is extremely luxurious.
There was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, his long brown hair was shiny, it should have been smeared with something similar to hair wax, and his thin cheeks could see the protruding cheekbones, almost skinny, a little sickly, but his skin was smooth, and he was wearing a very flat shirt ironed, and the material should be silk.
"Rich people can really feel the true meaning of life everywhere."
Sighing in his heart, Luo Ning walked up cautiously, raised his right hand and put it at the center of his eyebrows and bent down to salute.
"Mr. Martial, I'm sorry to bother without an appointment."
The man sitting on the sofa slowly raised his head, opened his eyes, and when he saw the young man in front of him, he reached out and picked up the cane standing on the edge of the sofa to get up.
When he took the cane, the sleeve of his shirt was slightly lifted, and a handful of black textures intertwined like tree roots were revealed, and Luo Ning was surprised.
"The Awakened ......"
The rich merchant in front of him turned out to be an awakened person, which was unexpected, but after thinking about it, such a person has mastered most of the resources of the world, including knowledge, and people with knowledge have the opportunity to experience fateful events, so what is his second career, and what are the special abilities he has obtained? Ronin fell into deep thought.
It took a long time for Martial to get to his feet with his cane, and he also bent down and saluted, his voice weak.
"I'm sorry, I just sat here waiting for you to fall asleep, people are a little sleepy when they reach the age of a hundred, maybe I won't live long."
100 years old......
From the other party's skin, he looked just a middle-aged person, but he didn't expect that he was already a hundred years old, which was unbelievable, Luo Ning was surprised and didn't forget to respond politely.
"A good person like you will live another hundred years."
Anthony smiled, smiling a little bit.
"No one can live to be 200 years old, that's a monster, I don't want to be a monster." Then he stretched out his hand and motioned to take a seat.
"As a member of the Money Trust, I have been in contact with the Order Church for a long time, and I have a good relationship with the Order Church, but I have rarely gone out for health reasons over the years, and I know very little about the outside world, if the Order Church needs anything, I will do my best."
The other party took his purpose here as a business.
Luo Ning smiled awkwardly.
"It has nothing to do with the Order Church, I have some personal matters to trouble you."
Anthony froze for a moment, then smiled and raised his hand.
"I hope I can help."
