After the guard's matter was dealt with, Freeman's face soothed a lot. The butler turned and bent down to Freeman and said respectfully, "Please go for a walk first." As a sign of apology, I brought the distinguished guest to Mr. Sosk myself, and I will come to accompany them later. ”

Freeman nodded, and made a "please" gesture to the young woman beside him.

Keske's sister's white, tall neck bent - she nodded, and walked with Freeman out into the street.

Most of the guards followed the two away.

From beginning to end, Freeman didn't say anything meaningful, as if he was really dying.

As they passed by Vins, Keske's sister and Vince bowed their heads to each other, and said hello.

When Freeman and his party disappeared around the corner, the butler turned around and said to Vince with a smile: "Your Excellency is Vins Griffin, right?

Vins waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "The housekeeper has an overreputation, I'm just lucky." ”

"Your Excellency does not need to be humble, please come with the old servant. But before that," the butler took two steps forward, crossed Vince, and shouted to the crowd, "it's all gone, there's nothing to see." Ten minutes later, there will be guards coming to clear the field, hoping not to hurt the peace. ”

The butler said so, and the crowd dispersed, gradually disappearing into the early morning mist. But Vince could clearly feel several jealous glances sweeping over him as he left.

The butler whispered two words to the guards beside him, and looked at the gate of the city lord's mansion with satisfaction. Then he turned and said politely to Vins, "It's all right now, your Excellency come with me." ”

"Thank you, butler. ”

Vins should have been excited, but he couldn't be happy at the moment. The butler's punishment of the two guards was unexpectedly severe, which made Vins, who had just added fuel to the fire, feel a little guilty. He is also the one who works hard to support himself and knows what it means for both of them to lose their jobs.

Ironically, Vince suddenly felt that he was not much different from the two guards, and that they were all just struggling with a humble fate. If there were two other guards in front of Kesk at that time, they would have made the same choice.

They decided to sacrifice Vins, presumably like Vins himself decided to sacrifice the dagger. It may seem cruel to say, but in this world where it is difficult to take a step forward, it is actually normal. Wen Si sighed secretly in his heart, the two guards were from the City Lord's Mansion, and since the housekeeper had already dealt with it, he couldn't say anything more.

The most famous building in the Lord's Mansion is the huge three-story castle built by Freeman at great expense, which is said to be visible along the cobblestone avenue after entering the Lord's Palace, and Wince, a poor boy, has long wanted to see this famous building.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the butler took Vins on the cobblestone avenue for a short time, and then turned to a bluestone paved path on the lawn on the left. As he turned left, Vince reluctantly glanced at the end of the cobblestone avenue, but unfortunately he didn't even see the shadow of the castle due to the thick fog.

"It's the first time for the little brother to enter the City Lord's Mansion, right?

The butler who led the way in front walked unhurriedly, and did not forget to talk to Vins.

Reluctantly, Wins withdrew his gaze from the cobblestone road, which had been submerged in the fog, and after a moment's consideration, said:

"Spectacular. ”

From just walking into the city lord's mansion, along the way strange flowers and flowers compete for beauty, green chestnut trees, nanxiang trees and other tree species that are only found in the vein corridor are pruned neatly and planted in the courtyard, and even the bluestone pavement under the feet is polished to the light. Although the fog is so thick that you can't see the architectural styles in the distance, these alone reveal a strong atmosphere of a wealthy home.

When the butler heard Wens's words, his steps paused slightly, and he didn't expect Wens's answer to be so simple, so simple that it was even a little perfunctory.

Wens smiled embarrassedly in his heart, after all, he hadn't been to school for a few days, and even a few of his usual honorifics were learned from Yerevan, so he naturally didn't dare to say more at this time, for fear of showing timidity.

"Hmm...... It's not that I'm boasting, but Lord Freeman's mansion is indeed the most luxurious in the entire southeastern frontier. It's a pity that the fog is too heavy this morning, and the little brother can't get a full view of the castle, which is really a pity. ”

"I'm just a commoner, it's already good luck to be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion, and it's inevitable that I'll be a little greedy if I ask for something. ”

The two of them walked slowly on the cold bluestone pavement, chatting seemingly casually.

"Little brother, what he said is not right, mayflies can still shake trees, you can enter and exit such places at a young age, why should you be lighthearted?"

Vins was slightly stunned, not understanding what the other party meant.

The butler, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, turned to Vins and straightened his tie in the cold mist. Then he smiled and said, "I have one thing I want to ask my little brother for help." ”

"This ...... I'm just a hunting assistant of the Dark Moon, and I'm afraid I'm too busy to be a housekeeper. ”

Vins blurted out without even thinking about it. The identity of the other party and the level of access he can reach are things that he usually can't think of, and today he only intersected with others because of Mr. Sosk's invitation. But if you think that you can be on an equal footing with the other party and discuss interests just because of this, it is inevitable that you will be a little unscrupulous.

No matter how much wealth you have, no matter how good your chances are, you are far less important than your own life.

The butler didn't care about Wens's words, but still said politely: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you are now the city lord's honored guest, how can I embarrass you? ”

“...... Please speak. ”

"Little Brother is one of the few people who has access to the Green Family, and what I want you to do is actually very simple. All you need to do is say a few words of kindness to the city lord from your point of view when you come into contact with them. There are no too specific requirements, as long as the little brother can say a few words about this matter, he will be grateful!"

"...... the Green family" Vince vaguely guessed, but still didn't know for sure.

"Ah, little brother, you don't know their identities yet! I was reckless! I was reckless!" the butler looked at him with a smile on his face, and then, as if he had suddenly remembered something very funny, he bent down and laughed.

is worthy of being the housekeeper of a large family, and he is so self-contained when he looks at the jokes......

Wins explained with an embarrassed face, "Well, Mr. Collis was in charge of the task when they entrusted it, so I ......"

"Haha, the little brother misunderstood. The butler straightened up, changed back to that polite smile, and said: "I just suddenly thought that the people who wanted to please the Green family offended each other when they went out, but you didn't know their identity and got their favor, fate, ah......"

"It's just a moment of luck. Vince scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Luck...... How many people have spent their lives to lose your luck......" The housekeeper seemed to have thought of something far away, and he was very emotional for a while.

"Then what is the little brother thinking about? This incident is very important to the old city lord, if it comes to fruition, no matter how much effort the little brother has, our thank-you gifts will not be less. ”

"After all, I am also a resident of Carriton, and I can still do what I can thanks to the protection of the city lord for many years. It's just that I'm not very good at talking, and if I don't do well, I hope the steward and the city lord won't dislike it. ”

Vins had already thought about it, ignoring the thank you gift from the butler's mouth. You can easily get a favor from the City Lord's Mansion with just a few words, why don't you do such a good errand?!

"That's good, that's good, the city can arrange a good way out for the children in their old age, and I, an old servant who has lived here for most of my life, can rest assured......" The butler smiled with satisfaction.

The other party seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, and Vince took the opportunity to boldly say, "Speaking of which, I also have a reluctant request. I hope the butler will spare the two guards, they ......"

"Speaking of the two guards," the butler interrupted Vince very abruptly, and did not let him finish his sentence, "I have a big gift for my little brother." ”

"Huh??"

Could it be that the disposition outside was just for show, and the butler was actually planning to let the two guards go? A flame of hope suddenly ignited in Vins's heart.

The butler patted Vins on the shoulder, and his faint words were like thunder: "The two guards who embarrassed you at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion today, you will never be upset by seeing them in the future." ”

"Ah?!!h

Vince was shocked, how could this not be what he thought?!This was to execute the two guards?!!

"Butlers, they may just ...... It's just a momentary misunderstanding! You know, it's inevitable that people will be lazy occasionally, and you can't kill two people for this kind of thing?!

Although Vince despised the two guards, he forgave them after the anger in front of the city lord's mansion subsided. But why did the steward want to execute them?!

Steward Sen Ran's words sounded softly in the cold mist: "This is the sincerity of the city lord, do you want to refuse?"

"Butler, I'...... I don't quite understand......" Vance stammered a little harder.

"I don't need to understand...... Rest assured, it won't implicate you. If you don't speak, I will acquiesce. The butler put on that standard smile again, but at this moment, it seemed to Vince that smile revealed a hint of chill.

"Uh......"

Vince opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Mr. Soske is in front of him for morning exercises, and you can see him two more steps along the stone path. I won't disturb the two of you to meet, goodbye, I hope the little brother will not forget the agreement between us, and say a few more good words for the city lord. ”

The butler saluted Vins and walked away the way he came.

Vince stood alone on the hard, slippery stone pavement, and suddenly felt that Morich's formal dress was a little thin, and the cold of the early morning seeped into his bones.
