Not counting the Marquis of Erix as a side branch halfway through, the Stlev family itself has been deeply rooted in the Rhine City for hundreds of years.

The maids in the manor are of high quality, Claude is temporarily absent, and the maids are very conscious of staying away from the terrace, leaving only Liu Ci and Stull Garland, who are too lazy to pretend, and throw Stuart Garland a sentence of "no good feast", and she has already stood up.

Claude didn't know where to go, the marquis was also the lord of the city, and when he returned to the manor, he was in a hurry to deal with official business, and there was no hostess in the huge castle, so Liu Ci walked around the castle directly.

Stuart stood in place, not following, and not staying, only touching his nose and following the butler to find Claude.

Liu Ci wandered around casually, and when he met the maid in the castle, the young girls were very polite to avoid it.

There are also some people who are secretly looking at Liu Ci.

The Marquis has lost his wife for many years, and the Prince of Claude is obsessed with fighting martial arts and has not yet married, and he left the Rhine City to go to the parish of Selmont two years ago, so there are few young ladies in the Stryff Manor, and the arrival of Liu Ci has made the people of the manor speculate that it is the Marquis who has taken a fancy to her, or the Prince Claude has finally opened his mind...... Liu Ci is not pretty, but she is from a good background, and she doesn't know which family's aristocratic lady she is.

Ignoring the eyes of the maids who secretly "scored", Liu Ci stood on the castle overlooking the manor.

Outside the rolling racecourse is a large field belonging to the Marquis of Strave. The Rhine City has a large difference between day and night, and it is a good area for growing grapes, and most of the land of the lord's family is swollen with grapes.

The aristocracy also needed an inheritance to live on, and it seems that the Marquis of Strave was mainly a winery.

No wonder the old butler James gave red wine worth thousands of gold coins as soon as he made a move, and the wine that was not of sufficient grade was indeed a hatchet at the Strelf house.

The wine grapes ripen in August and September every year, and now they are still a green seed from a distance, and the Rhine City is extremely hot in June, and the slaves are working in the vineyard with their upper bodies naked and tanned.

Your own change is also in line with the trend, right?

Liu Cixi thought that she was not the kind of "Holy Mother" who took the liberation of the vast number of poor slaves in the other world as her own responsibility.

has lived so much, she has heard of one of the characters who are really born by the common people, the "dust fairy" enshrined by the old Liu family, but that one has already obtained the position of "true god", Liu Aci is just an authentic, mortal with desires and preferences - the distance between the cultivation of the foundation building period and the true god is not much higher than that of mortals, anyway, it is also far behind.

A small group of knights climbed the mound far away and galloped towards Streiff Manor.

The knight in leather armor reined in the rope of his horse, dismounted and walked towards the castle, Liu Ci looked at it from a distance, and the place where the Marquis of Stlev worked was in the same direction.

She lowered her head to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, I don't know if the Marquis has found out her origin in such a short time?

………………

The cavalry regiment of the Rhine can also be said to be the private army of the Marquis of Straif.

The hereditary nobles enjoyed fiefs and had a high degree of autonomy in the fiefs, and the private soldiers were to maintain local self-security, Streif also served as the lord of the city, and the private cavalry were transferred to "public office" after crossing the clear road.

The commander of the cavalry regiment was from the Stlev family, and his loyalty to Mr. Marquis was unquestionable.

As Liu Ci expected, the order he received was indeed to investigate "Liu Ci".

The investigation by no means began today when Liu Ci was "enthusiastically" left at Stlev Manor, in fact, before Claude returned to Rhine City to attend Liu Ci's banquet by chance, Mr. Marquis had already noticed Liu Ci.

A girl with black hair and black eyes, alone in the city, sold a batch of high-grade potion raw materials.

You must know that it is summer, no matter which country the adventurers are, they are still crazy panning for gold in the Morok Mountains, where did Liu Ci get a batch of fresh potion raw materials?

Mr. Marquis of 40,000 gold coins did not look at it, the three major empires were at war, the Spur Empire was defeated, and the country seemed to be stable as usual, but the nobles of all sizes were actually affected. The difference is that the victorious country will recover the consumption, but the defeated country will have to bear the post-war deficit.

This deficit is passed on layer by layer, and in the end, it will fall on the nobles of the empire, large and small - civilians, you say? The exploitation was too ruthless, and the civilians did not have much oil and water on them. Not to mention slaves, even personal freedom was pinched in the hands of the aristocracy.

The Marquis de Strave ran the winery and was well known in the parish of Ulbury, to which the city of the Rhine belongs. The famous "big fat sheep" will inevitably have to be apportioned more, and the Marquis of Strave has a big deficit to fill this year. Just thinking about going to the door, Liu Ci just sold a batch of high-grade potion raw materials.

To give gifts to the speakable characters of the Grand Parish, valuables such as magic cores and potions are far more popular than gold coins, and the potions sent by Monsieur Marquis are very satisfactory to the high level of the Diocese of Ulbury, and the funds he needs to hand over to the Holy See are suspended, so that when the grapes are harvested this year, and a large amount of wine will flow to the market next year, it will be easy for Monsieur Marquis to feel that the "shortfall" that has been suppressed will be easily filled.

Gold coins are easy to earn, but it is not easy to find a way to get high-grade potion raw materials, most of the valuable shops in Rhine City are the property of the Stlev family, Liu Ci can successfully sell the potion without being bullied, and he is really grateful to the shopkeeper for saving the idea of "putting a long line to catch a big fish".

From the moment she sold the potion and bought a property in Rhine City, someone in the Stlev family has been eyeing Liu Ci.

It didn't take long for the tailor shop to send Liu Ci's design manuscript, which made Mr. Marquis's attention to Liu Ci skyrocket.

With Marquis Striff's control of the Rhine City, in fact, without his acquiescence, how could the Rose Flower appear in the city in a grand manner?

Liu Ci took this opportunity to stir the water more muddy and look for the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.

The marquis hoped to know what she wanted to do through Liu Ci's actions.

Liu Ci held a high-profile banquet, and it happened that his only son, Claude Streffe, was on the scene. You must know that Claude is a young man full of knightly honors, not to mention the circle of the Champagne Boulevard, which is not up or down, and the Marquis used to take him to visit the nobles of the same class, and Claude is not willing to spend effort to socialize!

Claude was engaged to Rachel of the Lorenz family, and to be honest, even the Marquis sometimes couldn't understand what his only son was thinking.

To say that he attaches great importance to the little fiancée who is far away in age, Claude did not show any special sadness when the Lorentz family had an accident.

Said he didn't mind at all...... Returning from 18 Champagne Boulevard, Claude subconsciously defended Liu Ci. After a heart-to-heart conversation, Mr. Marquis confirmed that Claude really did not know Liu Ci.

The Marquis of Streiff easily associates everything with "conspiracy".

First of all, Liu Ci suddenly appeared, not only with rare black hair and black eyes, but also the same age as the missing Rachel Cappado Lorenz, and also held a banquet in a high-profile rose dress.

It was this banquet that reminded Claude of his former fiancée, and then relented.

Claude will go to the banquet, it was Stull Garland who instigated him, and the latter also hit it off with Liu Ci, how could it be such a coincidence?

After checking and checking, Liu Ci did not wait for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters for a long time, and Mr. Marquis found nothing.

Liu Ci came out of nowhere, as if he was born and raised, and before the appearance of Rhine City, this figure did not live in the world.

To reach the Rhine, you can reach the "Parish of Srmont" to the south, the "Parish of Emst" to the west, and the Moroch Mountains to the north, which cannot be passed through. Liu Ci seems to have fallen from the sky.

To this day, Liu Ci sent people out of the city.

It turns out that she also has a younger sister.

Monsieur Marquis felt that he had grasped some crucial point, and the news brought back by the cavalry commander surprised Mr. Marquise.

"You said she had a sister named ...... Rachel? You can see what it looks like. ”

When the cavalry commander finished describing it, Mr. Marquis shook his head in disappointment.

The appearance is not right, and the age is not right. The appearance characteristics and age match the one in the manor, but it is not called "Rachel".

Everyone called her "Miss Ci", and Monsieur Marquis smiled a little coldly.

"Someone has kept an eye on her sister, and if necessary, you will be allowed to reveal your identity."

"Yes."

- Quirin Cappado, is that what you're playing?

……

Strafter Manor Rooms.

Liu Ci, who was warmly staying overnight, lay on the bed and yawned, the water in Rhine City was already muddy, who was the fish in the end.

The night wind blew the white curtains, and when she squinted tiredly, a silver-white sword light shattered the curtains, as fast as lightning—

Boom, a thunderclap in the June sky.
