Jinxi Manor covers an area of about 300 acres. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a clear stream at the back of the manor, where a little gold sand could be found at first, but now it is gone. There are hundreds of people throughout the estate, and crops such as cotton, barley, lettuce, and many more are grown nearby. The old Earl of Salon owned one copper mine and two iron mines, and he secretly controlled a chamber of commerce, and openly or covertly owned five caravans between Dragon City, Arantir, the Southern Highlands, and so on.

"Your Excellency, please. ”

The man who looks like a butler looks about fifty years old, but his actual age may be close to one hundred years old, he is wearing a decent tuxedo, but he can still see the outline of strong muscles, and he is about two meters tall, not like a wizard but more like a warrior, and the other party has a trace of dragon vein warlock breath, but it is very, very weak.

Although Stephen Zhou had long known that the status of wizards in this world was relatively high, he didn't expect it to be so high.

The man who looked like a butler was completely welcoming his arrival, and he was relatively cold to the Countess Illya next to him, and even the Earl of Sutton smiled when he walked to the door of the hall to greet him.

"Welcome to my estate. This wizard-sama. ”

The old Earl of Sutton was about sixty years old, his face was already wrinkled, but his physique was still burly, and the Norman half-breed gene delayed the aging of the body, and he retained the strength close to that of a knight. After greeting Stephen Zhou, the Earl of Sutton turned his gaze to Countess Elijah next to him, and said with a sad face: "It's really good that you're okay." My poor niece. When I heard what had happened, I immediately went to the Council of Nobles to protest, but I didn't expect the Earl of Keaton to do it without going through the Council of Nobles. I believe that my poor nephew must be innocent, and that this must be a conspiracy by the Earl of Keaton, who wants to monopolize the power of Windy City. ”

The mother of Countess Elijah's dead husband was his cousin, and the aristocratic hypocrisy of politeness made people feel fake.

But at this time, everyone was acting, and Countess Illya also hugged her daughter tightly, and said sadly: "All this is a conspiracy of Count Keaton. Fortunately, my husband has secretly entrusted this Master Stephen to take care of us, otherwise we would have been poisoned by the Earl of Keaton. ”

Hearing the words of Countess Elija, the old Earl Sutton couldn't help but frown.

Recently, there has been an undercurrent in Windblown City, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, but one thing is undoubted, the Earl of Keaton has not yet caught the wife and daughter of the dead Earl of Norrington, and even all the people sent out have mysteriously disappeared. This kind of strange thing is easy to think of powerful wizards, many nobles are waiting to see a good show, if Countess Illya's mother and daughter are rescued by a powerful wizard, Earl Keaton is afraid that the next will be very troublesome. Every noble family with a background is more or less connected to the mystic (wizard), the Earl of Keaton suddenly killed a Northland nobleman, the outside world has only speculated about the real reason, if it succeeds, other nobles can't do anything for the dead guy, but if it fails, the Earl of Keaton will definitely be counterattacked.

"You must be tired. I prepared the dinner party and the guest room. ”

Old Earl Sutton said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry. You are safe here. I will protect you as much as I can. ”

A cunning old fox.

Countess Elijah had come to him at this critical juncture, of course, for something very important, and he seemed to have the idea of delaying it.

Stephen Zhou smiled silently, and he noticed that one of the guards was riding away through the side door.

Countess Illya glanced at his face and nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

The dinner was very sumptuous, more than a dozen maids were waiting beside him, rows of candles the size of a baby's arm were lit at the table, they prepared roast goose, roasted pig, steak, lamb, salad, desserts, etc., but no one was in the mood to taste the food, the old Earl of Sutton had been secretly observing Stephen Zhou, unlike other nobles who visited, he did not let the family members come out to meet, and Stephen Zhou had a calm expression as if he didn't care. The normal process should be that the old Earl Sutton arranged for the family members to meet, and Stephen Zhou only sensed a few curious glances from upstairs peeping secretly.

After a brief meal, the group returned to the guest room, and then the old butler with a stern face knocked lightly on the door and said respectfully, "The Earl invites your Excellency to the study." ”

The other party was obviously a little unable to sit still.

Countess Illya unconsciously grasped Stephen's palm a little nervously, he turned his head to glance at her and patted her lightly to show her reassurance, and then walked with the beautiful Countess to the study.

"Where are you from?"

The candles in the study were dim, and the old Earl of Salon sat on a soft red chair with a somewhat uncertain expression, there was only one butler in the room, but there were at least dozens of elite guards outside.

Stephen Zhou sat opposite the old earl very easily, and glanced at the butler next to him, so that the other party couldn't help but feel a little nervous, the gap between the official wizard and the wizard apprentice was huge, and the old butler could only feel that Stephen Zhou was an official wizard, but he didn't know how strong he was, which made the old earl not dare to act rashly at all. Stephen Zhou motioned for the equally nervous Countess Illya next to him to sit down, and then said softly, "I'm from another place. ”

Another place can be another continent or another world.

The old Earl of Sutton obviously thought it was the former, so he instantly thought that Stephen Zhou was a wizard who specially asked for help from another continent.

"Your Excellency has come to me at this time, I don't know what you want?" As long as you are not an idiot, you will know that there must be a reason for bringing Countess Illya's mother and daughter to him in this turbulent time.

Da-da-da-da.

Stephen Zhou's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, accompanied by a regular sound, and the attention of everyone in the room involuntarily focused on his fingers.

Smack!

A crisp snap of fingers, a faint trace of energy escaped.

Stephen Zhou looked at the old earl who was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "I don't have time to waste too much time on this continent. So to put it simply, the Earl of Keaton must pay for what he has done, and everything that belongs to them must be taken back. ”

Speaking of which, Stephen glanced at Countess Illya next to him, and continued, "But. ”

"If anything happens to the Earl of Keaton, there must be someone who can control the other nobles to step up and lead the city of Windwind, and ensure that the rights belonging to this lady will not be violated in the future. ”

"I think you're a qualified candidate. ”

There was a dead silence in the study.

Then the old Earl Sutton said in a hoarse voice, "So to speak." Are you hoping to help me take control of Coldwind City in place of Earl Keaton, and help her regain her lost territory, wealth, and status?"

"Wrong!" Stephen Zhou smiled and said, "I just need you to step up and clean up the mess in Windy City if necessary, and make sure she gets what she deserves." ”

Powerful self-confidence!

Stephen Zhou's words made the old earl squint his eyes, and looked at him with some disbelief: "Do you want to deal with the Earl of Keaton? With all due respect, Your Excellency may be very powerful, but there are also people in the Earl of Keaton's family who have become wizards, and as far as I know, the Lord has also returned here." ”

Syllable.

A thick magic book that exuded an evil aura was thrown onto the desk, and Stephen Zhou smiled and said, "Are you talking about this? If so, I don't think you should worry about it anymore." ”

Horror!

The old Earl Sutton looked surprised, and the old butler looked horrified.

Perhaps the old earl did not know what the book of spells meant, let alone the strength of its owner, but the butler knew how powerful the master of the book was, for a terrible woman had come to warn him not to meddle before the Earl of Keaton had done so. As a wizard's apprentice who had traveled to another continent, he knew that this magic book came from the quagmire of death, and he knew the importance of a magic book to wizards, and now the magic book of that terrifying existence was in the hands of Stephen Zhou.

The results speak for themselves!

For a moment, he felt a chill all over his body, because he had no idea how strong Stephen Zhou really was!
