Chapter 522: Preparations Before Departure (Part II)
After Adolf and Monroe left, Gotte didn't stay with Andrew, and after unceremoniously driving people away, he took Luna up to the third floor.
At this time, the third floor had long been converted into a small library by Luna, and an entire floor of the floor, except for the necessary load-bearing walls, had been opened up and erected into bookcases.
And thanks to the convenience of having a bookstore in her own house, all the bookcases that are either independent or built around the walls have been stuffed to the brim by Luna.
At the same time, it has also become Gote's large study, and there is a small room in the corner that Gote specially uses to store all kinds of rare medicinal materials and finished medicines.
Gotte went up to the third floor and left Luna, went into the small room on his own, and came out a moment later, carrying a medicine box directly.
Seeing that the medicine box was stuffed, and anyone who dared to move it on weekdays could turn into a beast form and use his head to carry a person's medicine bottle, Luna's eyes were slightly hot.
"What do you do like this? Isn't the medicine made for people to eat? I have taught you how to use it, don't waste it on me!"
Gorte pursed his lips in disgust, turned his head and pushed the medicine box to Luna with a little reluctance, and then went to the desk to rummage through it.
It took him a long time to pull out a map in a drawer littered with papers and hand it to Luna.
Looking at the map that was completely half-finished, with an irregular diamond-shaped blank in the middle, Luna looked at Gotte with some confusion.
"This is the map of the Trial Forest, the inside is no better than the outside, be careful when you go in, what you can tell you over the years, I have also told you, remember, no matter what, come out alive. Gotte raised his hand and paused, landing on the side of Luna's head and gently smoothing Luna's hair.
"I'll definitely be back. Luna resisted the urge to cry and nodded vigorously.
"The blank space in the middle, maybe no one has been there, or maybe someone has been there and never come back, I won't say I won't let you go, but you have to have a number in your heart. ”
Knowing that Luna had been curious since she was a child, Gotte was afraid that the more she would stop her from exploring, he could only say so.
"In any case, I will not risk my life, teacher rest assured. Luna assured solemnly.
"If you can figure it out, go ahead, at least you can rest a little longer before dawn." Gotte nudged Luna.
"And ...... teacher?" Luna pursed her lips as she looked at Gotte, who was visibly depressed.
"When people are old and sleep less, I read a book for a while, and then I should rest. Gotte turned his back and waved his hand.
Although Luna knew that reading a book or something was an excuse, seeing that Gotte obviously refused to let her stay, she had no choice but to put on her medicine box, put away the map, and went downstairs.
However, Luna did not go back to her room to sleep, but left the house and went to the zoo.
When she came back this time, she didn't take Ali with her because she was in a hurry, but when she walked in front of Ali's animal circle, six snow-white little furballs slowly jumped out of it.
Luna smiled at the six slower and slower little ones, her eyes full of reluctance.
After all, the six little ones are just ordinary animals, even if they are human at their current age, they are already close to their twilight years, although the little ones have contributed to reproduction over the years, and there are many white balls in Luna's manor and near the manor.
But I don't know if it's preconceived notions, Luna always thinks that the descendants of the six are far less smart than the six.
Looking at the six hairy balls that were still jumping around slowly, Luna squatted down, rubbed them one by one, and silently prayed to the gods, hoping that when she returned in a few years, the six little ones would still be there.
Luna stayed in the enclosure with the six little ones until it was dark, fed them their favorite chopped meat foam, and then went to the waiters' quarters to pick up people at Susie's urging.
Most of these young waiters who have grown up today are the first people Luna bought back then, and a dozen of them are actually adults and have completed the trial, and they can no longer see the thin and small appearance of the past.
Luna had offered to give them freedom as agreed, but the men refused without exception as if they had agreed upon it.
Luna didn't force this, but just gave them a more relaxed environment, and no longer treated them as just waiters, and every time they went out to escort or returned from completing a mission, they would be paid the same as hired mercenaries.
It can be said that these dozen or so people are no different from the freedmen except for the golden stud earrings on their ears.
Even when Jack came to pick someone, none of these guys were willing to follow, and Jack was depressed enough, and in the end, he could only rely on force to forcibly beat two of the waiters who had never been tested and taken away.
This time, Luna had no intention of taking all of the waiters' already grown hands, and she only jumped six.
Two of the bull orcs are a pair of brothers, along with a crow orc, a cat orc, and two female canine orcs.
It is worth mentioning that this pair of sisters, who have a good relationship like sisters, are almost inseparable, and it is the little maid who Hugh Ravens was exchanged for and later asked by Luna to recover, and these two can act as Luna's personal guards on this trip.
After choosing her entourage, Luna and the six of them returned to the royal court without stopping.
Six attendants escorted Luna's beast cart all the way into the royal city, and there were already four eye-catching two-headed and six-tailed tigers to clear the way, plus two tall, muscular cow orcs, and a pair of sisters who were particularly eye-catching but not easy to mess with.
It can be said that Luna's lineup of returning to the city this time has almost shaken most of the royal city, not that the six waiters are special and eye-catching, after all, although there are not many nobles who keep brave servants in captivity, they are not nothing.
What caught the eye was actually the six people lined up on both sides of the beast cart, but even the steps of the mounts under them were uniform, comparable to the momentum of the regular army.
So much so that not long after Luna's side entered the city, Silas had already received a notification from Howard with a depressed face.
Knowing that her daughter had prepared a well-trained manpower with no weak force value, Silas was naturally not unhappy, on the contrary, she was quite satisfied with Luna's practice of not blindly relying on the royal court guards.
In this way, not only Howard's slightly unconvinced fragmentary thoughts were ignored by His Majesty the King, but the six attendants who followed Luna into the royal court were even more critically attacked by His Majesty the King for the first time.
Luna didn't want to say anything about her father, who was standing at the gate of the castle, apparently to pick her up, but actually came to see the "review".
She directly asked Susie to leave with six waiters who were a little agitated because they bumped into His Majesty the King, and then stepped up the steps and dragged away her inexplicably embarrassed-looking father.
