Chapter 9: The Cliff Villa
Xiao Ai rested after dinner, slept well, and had no sleep all night. The owner of this seaside cliff villa is Mrs. Ingrid, and it is rumored that her grandmother is the daughter of a certain prince of the Empire, so she has imperial blood.
Mrs. Ingrid is most fond of ancient earth culture, so after she raised the funds and technology, she began to build this luxurious retro villa from scratch with 38 rooms, three halls and two restaurants, and what is even more commendable is that the raw materials may not come from the earth, but the workmanship and technical methods have almost completely restored the style of the villa during the Europa period of the Earth Age, such as wooden floors, carved staircase handrails, etc. The above are all found by Xiao Ai from the Star Network.
The next morning, she washed up and went to the restaurant to eat, and found that there were already several people sitting in the restaurant, and they were all invited to attend the unveiling ceremony. Surprisingly, one of them turned out to be Mr. Mel, one of the members of the Federal Daystar Expedition.
When Ai arrives at the restaurant, Mr. Mel is explaining to the others that he came to Capital Star directly from Daystar and was originally scheduled to come to the unveiling ceremony here.
"This time, we were really scared that if the detonating device installed on the expedition ship exploded in advance, the consequences would be really unimaginable." Mr. Mel was talking to a beautiful sister next to him who Xiao Ai didn't know, and the beautiful sister couldn't stop nodding.
Seeing that Mr. Mel was there, Xiao Ai instantly thought of a rumor circulating on the star network, in fact, the first ancestor of the Mel family was actually the illegitimate son of an emperor of the empire. In this way, Mr. Mel and Mrs. Ingrid are related by blood.
Because Lori and Brother Ming were probably still sleeping, Xiao Ai didn't wait for them, and after a brief greeting with the people in the restaurant, they dined under the arrangement of the housekeeper.
"Wait a minute, if there is nothing else to do after you have breakfast, I can show you around this villa." The housekeeper said to Xiao Ai very politely.
"Okay, thank you then."
"Jeffrey, we're going to visit the villa too." One of the young men said.
"You've visited before, and now you're able to do it on your own." The housekeeper didn't actually refuse outright.
The young man tilted his head and thought about it, then looked at Xiao Ai, but finally did not insist.
The housekeeper took Xiao Ai to introduce the villa from the front hall, mainly to take Xiao Ai to walk through the main functional areas of the villa. This Europa-like villa even has its own church.
"Mr. Jeffrey, is this church still in use?"
Jeffrey's butler looked at Xiao Ai with a look of surprise: "Ah, Miss Lin, do you know that this is a church?" ”
"Uhhh Xiao Ai hurriedly showed an embarrassed smile: "I used to know a little bit about the history of the ancient earth. ”
"Then Lady Ingrid should like you very much." The housekeeper looked pleased: "This church is just a decoration now, and it is not in use. ”
This chapel is very authentically decorated, with crosses and crucifixes, rose windows, etc., which gives Xiao Ai the feeling of traveling back to Europe in the ancient earth era.
The chapel is on the westernmost side of the villa, and when you come out of the chapel, you will see the endless sea, and the fierce waves are always beating the rocks on the shore.
Because it was windy outside, the housekeeper took Xiao Ai to visit the east area of the villa. From the vestibule to the east area, there is an inner corridor, with a high ceiling and golden columns, all of which declare the strength of the villa owner. The corridors are flanked by carved figures or portraits.
"Butler, who are these portraits?"
"It's all portraits of Mrs. Ingrid of different ages."
"The lady in this portrait is really beautiful." Xiao Ai stopped in front of a portrait and said. Mrs. Ingrid in the portrait is only about 20 years old, young and plump, and beautiful, which can be called a character.
"Miss Lin has a good eye, this painting is from a famous artist, and it is one of Madame's favorite portraits." It can be seen that the housekeeper really thinks this portrait is very good.
But in fact, the reason why Xiao Ai stopped in front of this portrait was because she recognized that the studs worn by the lady in the portrait were green sand stone stud earrings, at least in appearance exactly the same as the green sand stone stud earrings she saw at the black market auction last time.
Speaking of which, two of the last five lots have already appeared.
