Chapter 8: A Manor in the Forest

The black sedan drove towards the outskirts of Warsaw. www.biquge.info Twenty minutes later, the car was already driving out of the bustling city streets and heading out for the forest on the outskirts.

A wide boulevard leading to the top of the hill with twists and turns. The boulevard is lined with towering trees. There are few bushes in the forest, and it is full of towering thousand-year-old trees.

The branches of the trees are intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves stretched out are like green clouds, covering the blue sky with a tight breeze, and the branches and leaves make a rustling sound, just like the sigh of a man.

The morning sun shines obliquely through the overlapping branches, leaving speckled shadows on the road. The boulevard is rarely crowded, and only the crisp sound of birdsong can be heard.

After about twenty minutes of driving on the boulevard, a manor house encased in a forest appeared at the end of the road.

This must be Blaceno Manor, Qi Luoling thought to herself.

The estate is secluded from the rest of the world, like a secluded forest palace. The estate is like a beautiful diamond, shining in the morning sun.

The gates of the manor slowly opened, and the car drove into the manor.

Entering the manor, there is a large oval artificial lake, the artificial lake is sparkling, there are various reflections in the lake, full of colors, the lake water shines in the warm sunshine, flashes a little silver, as if sprinkled with pearls, extremely beautiful.

The car stopped along the road next to the artificial lake and came to a stop in front of the yellow steps in front of the main building. The villa has two floors, the main building and the adjacent annexes are golden, baroque, resplendent, full of masculine solidity, the roof is triangular, and the oval windows appear to be wide.

Lady Carolina, dressed in a long blue dress, was at the bottom of the stairs, holding a bouquet of bright and dazzling flowers.

Qi Luoling got out of the car, and Lady Carolina greeted her.

"Welcome to the Blaceno estate." Lady Carolina said with a smile.

Lady Carolina's kind expression seemed to change her attitude towards her.

Lady Carolina walked up to her, handed her the flowers in her hand, and said, "These are the flowers that the gardener has just picked from the garden this morning. Miss Qi, now the whole of the Blaceno Manor belongs to you, and I and all the personnel in the Manor are at your orders and dispatches. ”

Qi Luoling took the bouquet of flowers and said, "Thank you, I like this bouquet very much." Lady Carolina, you're welcome, I'm new to the manor, and I need your guidance in many places. So I have to thank you. ”

"Did you bring this little bit of clothing with you?" Lady Carolina asked, looking at the bag on her back.

"Yes."

"It's okay, if you need anything, I can prepare it for you, you're welcome."

"Thank you."

The two of them walked up the stairs and soon came to the main living room on the first floor.

Straight at the door of the living room stood a man in a modest suit about fifty years old, with a smile on his face and an approachable look.

"Miss Qi, this is my husband Locke." Lady Carolina introduced her.

"Hello, Miss Qi, it's a pleasure to see you here." Mr. Locke said.

Qi Luoling smiled and nodded, and reached out to shake his hand.

Entering the main living room, she couldn't help but look at the interior decorations.

The overall decoration of the hall is in classical style. Huge and bright chandeliers hang high from the ceiling, a fireplace with a parapet next to the sofa, and beautifully shaped panelling on the walls.

As for the furniture, it is roughly Renaissance style sofas, armchairs, Regency sofa tables, and so on. From the furnishings to the dΓ©cor, every detail is intricate and luxurious.

Qi Luoling placed her backpack casually on the sofa and did not sit down immediately.

"Miss Qi, do you need to rest? Or something to drink? Lady Carolina asked with concern.

"Thanks, not for now."

"Then I'll take you to the manor, okay?"

"Okay. That's what I mean. ”

Lady Carolina takes Chiloline on a tour of the entire Blecheno estate.

The Bletceno estate is large, covering an area of about several tens of hectares. Outside the manor, there is only a vast forest. There are woods, meadows, and an artificial lake in the park. Flat lawns, bushes trimmed into various beautiful shapes, and rippling blue waters glitter in the sun. There are also beautiful plaster sculptures around the lake.

Madame Carolina told her about the history of the estate.

"The Bletcheno estate was built in the 11th century as a summer residence for kings. In the thirteenth century, Poland and Lithuania achieved a dynastic union, and the power of the king was repeatedly limited by the nobility, and the king was forced to continue to grant freedom and privileges to the nobility. In 1374, Louis of the Hungarian dynasty of Anjou, who was elected king of Poland, gave the estate to the prominent nobles of the time, the House of Saxony, in order to gain the support and stability of the Polish nobility. After the First World War, the Saxony family was short of money, so it was sold to the wealthy Duke of Brand. So Belland owns the estate to this day. ”

The Saxon family? Qi Luoling felt that this name was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. She soon remembered that the name had been mentioned in the Una Demon music materials. As the information says, the noble family of Saxony must be the family of his maternal great-grandfather.

Then she seemed to understand a little as to why Mr. Mays had given her the Brecheno estate.

As they spoke, they walked towards the outer side of the manor, and after walking for more than ten minutes from the wide lawn, they came to the man-made lake. The sun shines on the surface of the lake, sparkling, and the water is crystal clear. A few superficial fish scratched their tails on the surface of the water, leaving a few wisps of wobbling waves.

Lady Carolina pointed to the dense forest outside the manor's fence and said, "Outside the manor is an endless forest, which covers an area of about thousands of hectares, many of which are primeval forests that no one has ever entered. So I hope you don't venture into the forest without a guide. Because there are demons in the forest. β€œ

"Are there really demons in the forest?"

Lady Carolina smiled and said, "It's just a legend from the Middle Ages, because I've been here for more than twenty years, and I haven't met it. However, you should be careful when walking in the forest these days, after all, the terrain is difficult and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with it. There have been cases of tourists going missing before, and there is a magnetic field in the deepest part of the forest that can cause the compass to fail. So you have to pay special attention. β€œ

Qi Luoling looked out at the sun-obscured forest beyond the wall. Even on a clear day, the green that obscured the sky seemed to look a little eerie and mysterious.
