Section 14 Mansions

The next morning, the sleeping iron slag lying on the sofa was woken up by the students who had come to the lounge for breakfast, and their eyes opened dimly. Suddenly, looking at the food left on the plate after the students left, he couldn't help but swallow. This is a habit he has formed since he was a child, and he has never been able to change it. For the orphans of Iron Mountain, the leftover food of the travelers is their delicacy.

It didn't take long for him to realize his gaffe and pat his head helplessly, reminding himself that those difficult years were behind him, and he didn't need to worry about food every day. When he woke up, he was about to order breakfast, but remembering that he was penniless, he had to leave the lounge and go to Eva Green's house.

An hour later, Iron Slag came to a detached villa on the Garden Avenue in ancient Babylon and rang a small bell fixed to the wooden fence.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

After a while, the old butler came out of the antechamber of the villa, walked briskly through the gravel path in front of the door, opened the half-man-high wooden fence door, and welcomed the iron slag into the house.

At this time, Eva was sitting in the corner of the living room, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the garden, leisurely drinking morning tea.

"Good morning, Commander." After seeing the iron slag, Eva put down the white porcelain teacup, smiled at him, and greeted. The slightly open red lips and neat and white teeth shimmer in the morning light, which can't help but remind people of dandan.

"Good morning, boss." After saying hello, Iron Slag sat down and asked the old butler for a cup of black tea.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Eva asked.

"Get me a communicator, and then a magnetic card." Iron Slag said. He answered her question in disguise, he didn't have a penny on him last night, can he still sleep well?

Eva naturally understood the meaning of his words, and immediately pursed her lips and laughed. Seeing this, Iron Slag's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted very unhappily.

"Okay, okay~ Don't be angry~ When I finish breakfast, I'll take you to see your new residence." Eva said.

"A new home?" Iron Slag wondered.

"The princess arranged it, you'll know later." Eva said.

More than ten minutes later, the butler brought a cup of hot black tea and a beautiful breakfast. With a hint of heat, the black tea exudes a rich tea aroma that is refreshing, and the meal is delicious, consisting of two golden bacon, a cheese sausage cut with butter and a piece of toasted bread with garlic aroma. Iron Slag immediately picked up the knife and fork and ate it happily.

After breakfast, Eva changed into a dark purple dress, then took the iron slag into an elongated car and headed for Lengzhi Lake.

A few minutes later, a black sedan drove north along the ancient Babylon Avenue into the lakeside path on the shore of the lake. The birds are singing and the flowers are quiet, but there are many people, and every few short sections you can see soldiers patrolling the shores of the lake in groups of three, fully armed.

Then, the car drove thousands of meters on the spotless road, then turned into a path made of colored stones, and drove more than 20 meters to a large house by the lake.

From a distance, the mansion was surrounded by a black iron fence, about five or six meters high, with a pointed top, like a spear erected. Through the iron fence, you can see the courtyard full of flowers and plants, and at the end of the courtyard is a large house made of gray tiled roofs and stone blocks. From the front, the house is rectangular in shape, with two rows of wooden arched windows embedded in the mottled stone walls, giving it a quaint and elegant look. These wooden arch windows are large and small, with the large window located below and very slender, while the small window is semicircular and located above the large window and below the eaves. As can be seen from the distribution of the windows, the large house has only one floor and is topped by a triangular attic.

At this moment, in front of the iron fence in front of the mansion, there were two guards wearing first-generation psionic power armor standing on the left and right.

After the car stopped, one of the guards stepped forward to salute and, at the driver's signal, opened the door. After seeing Eva Green, the guard immediately saluted a second time and greeted, "Good morning, Assistant Green." And after seeing the iron slag, he saluted a third time and greeted loudly: "Lord Iron Slag, welcome your return." ”

Seeing this, Iron Slag first bowed his head in return, and then glanced at Eva with some doubt. The latter immediately stepped forward and took his arm, stood on tiptoe slightly, and whispered in his ear: "This is the princess's ...... for you"

"Huh?" Iron Slag was suddenly taken aback, and involuntarily looked at the large house inside the iron fence.

"Let's go in and have a look, the princess said that this place is too small, and I will wronged you for a while for the time being." Eva said with a mischievous smile.

"This ......" Iron Slag was speechless for a while. Living in this kind of place was something he had never thought about. He still remembers that when he first arrived at the academy, his roommate warned him not to approach the shores of the cold lake. Because the people who live here are some powerful people in the Silver City world, and he can be pinched to death with his fingers, so it is best for him to stay away from here to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. Although he has an unyielding heart and has never been presumptuous, he grew up in Iron Mountain Town, but he knows better than anyone that he is just a small person, struggling to survive on the edge of the world, and just wants to live a better life. Even if he dreamed, he never dreamed that one day he would be able to live here. At this moment, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, as if he had turned over the five-flavor bottle upside down, and he couldn't tell the taste.

"What's wrong?" Eva asked softly as she looked at the iron slag that had suddenly lost her thoughts.

"She's so nice to me, is it worth it?" Iron Slag came back to his senses and laughed at himself. He is an insect, he is the spark of brilliance, he and she are destined to stand on opposite sides of the world, destined to have no results......

Eva didn't answer, just raised her hand lightly and waved it forward. The two guards nodded in agreement, and pushed open the iron fence gate one left and one right.

After entering the courtyard, on the white jade paved path, Eva turned her face sideways, glanced at the guards behind her, and whispered, "Of course it's worth it, the princess said that without you, she would have been ravaged by countless men in a brothel like crazy." ”

"Uh......" Listening to her retelling, Iron Slag couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Our princess is very vindictive, Eugene lost her little cloth bear in the past, and she hasn't forgotten it for more than ten years." Eva said with a smile.

"Well...... "Iron Slag scratched his hair in frustration.

"If it were you, it would have ended better than her brother." Eva guessed.

Iron Slag then snorted coldly, expressing disdain.

Then, the two walked through the white stone path, walked up the three-story wooden staircase, and walked up the multi-meter-long porch to the double oak gate.

The moment he pushed the door open, the iron slag's eyes lit up and suddenly brightened. The first thing that catches your eye is the furniture of the room, with a variety of simple and heavy cabinets, including cabinets, chests of drawers, wine cabinets, bookcases, wardrobes, etc., as well as large and stocky cloth sofas and classical and elegant copper floor lamps next to the sofas, as well as a wide variety of crafts or antiques in different forms, including ancient knights' armor, sculptures, vases, animal specimens, etc., and even a tripod piano......

Standing at the door, there are all kinds of landscape oil paintings, still life paintings, portraits, as well as strange butterfly specimens, biological specimens, and on the wall against the sofa, there is also a huge head of an unknown creature with curved horns. Looking around, there are all kinds of objects of all kinds, and people are dazzled to see them. This is a rectangular space of three or four hundred square meters in size, tens of meters high, without any partition wall in the middle, and it is integrated into one, and only furniture separates various functional areas.

Walking into the house, the reception area, the office area, the entertainment circle, and the kitchen area are clear at a glance, seemingly chaotic, but well organized.

After entering the door, Eva explained to Iron Slag that the decoration was made by Song Fu, a master of Far Eastern design. This master is proficient in Oriental Zen and is good at integrated design, paying attention to one house and one world, so his design concept is to gather guests, work, rest, entertainment and dining in one. However, when it was first designed, the master considered that the owner of the house was a woman, so he did not design the bedroom on the first floor, but placed it in the attic on the second floor, which added privacy.

"Has You Ge ever lived here?" Iron Slag asked.

"......No," said Eva, shaking her head, "the last person to live here was the princess's mother. ”

"Huh? You Ge's mother? Iron Slag asked, wide-eyed.

"Well, this 'Atlantic Mansion' is one of her mother's legacies." Eva said.

Hearing this, Iron Slag was about to ask, but Eva made a "wait" gesture and continued to explain.

There are a total of 55 houses on the shores of the lake, of which four are called "manors" and 51 are called "mansions", representing the four major powers of the world and the fifty-one floating silver cities.

The largest manor is called "Twilight Manor" and is owned by the Temple; The second largest manor is called Whisper Manor and is owned by Notre-Dame; The third largest manor is called "Qingzhuju", which is owned by an ancient temple; The fourth largest estate, named "Red Maple House", is owned by the World Conference; The remaining 51 mansions are owned by the 51 Silver City forces and are named after the corresponding Silver City names.

And this Atlantic Mansion corresponds to the Silver City of the Forty-Ninth Silver City suspended in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean - Atlantic City.

Atlantic City is a small strategic floating fortress that was once the domain of Yuge's mother. Some time ago, Youge's maternal grandfather, St. Auguste Modleton, gave Atlantic City a gift. And when You Ge obtained the ownership of Atlantic City, he also obtained the territories of Atlantic City in the world and in various planes, including this mansion.
