Chapter 219: The Old Mansion
With a shout, the carriage ran towards its goal, and on the opposite side of the place where Hui Gang had just stood, there was a relatively tall building, a three-story building of a rich man's gold cave in the city, and on the roof of the building, two men dressed as chimney diggers sat slumped.
However, the chimney of this three-story building had been cleaned not long ago, and now the two people sitting there are naturally not real chimney workers, and the two people are stiff and there for a long time, and one of the older ones reacted, took his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his face a few times.
"It's like lightning strikes, it's scary. ”
After saying this, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he gasped a few times hard, and then he relaxed, looked up to the sky and fell down, and muttered in his mouth:
"I thought it was a routine official, but I didn't expect to meet such a tricky person......"
The young man on the side had just recovered, and his voice actually had some trills in it, and his voice was also very low, as if Huigang was still watching below, and said tremblingly:
"When I looked at it, I thought I was going to die, and I looked like a devil with a sharp look in my eyes, and I'm going to go back and talk about it. ”
Joel, who was lying on the ground on all fours, muttered a profanity in his mouth, and said hatefully:
"Those things just now, this afternoon, it is estimated that the whole city will know about this matter, and then the two of us may still have trouble, and we will recover later." So I went back and talked about it. Mother, go to the bar tonight and find a chick to relax. ”
It didn't take much time for Hui Gang and his party to arrive near the Lake of Stars, as the monk said, where the entire city lived rich and noble families. Because of the noble title of 'hereditary paladin', Fleet's parents also lived here.
In the remnants of the Fleet's monk's mind, Hui Gang knew that Fleet's parents had been knighted by the Church of Light (in Odan and many other countries where the Church of Light is the state religion). The church can canonize barons and below, but fiefs need to take into account the specific local situation), but that is more to consider the family's paladin lineage.
Moreover, Fritti's parents were both textile merchants and quite successful businessmen. This also allows Fleet, who has no Paladin Inheritance, to live a life that is not inferior to that of other noble children with territories. But now it doesn't seem like a good thing.
Of course, the honor of the "hereditary paladin" family is now rape of the Holy Maiden Alternate Land, paladins are almost a joke in this city. Others laugh and laugh at each other. It is a deep shame for the family.
It is said that the Fleet family of this generation is just an old couple, and Fleet, the only son, and the paladins of the past generations are allowed to marry. But it is still abstinent, which also explains why each generation is not very prosperous.
When he first crossed the torture table, he fled to the forest in a hurry, and in Fleet's memory, Fleet's parents were impressed by two nagging old men. Even some of the nagging offending images are a little blurry.
With gradual integration. The spirit of Fleet, as a subordinate, gradually filtered out the impurities. Only the purest things remained, perhaps the deepest part of Fleet's soul, perhaps the essence.
The rest is just the kind of deep longing for his parents, those chatters at that time are all turned into a manifestation of love, a little deeper, in the memory, maybe Huigang grew up with the company of the ancient Buddha of the green lantern since he was a child, although when he was in the Shaolin Temple, his master raised him, and the old monks who raised him were all abnormal in love.
But this kind of parental love in the world has always been out of reach for monks. Hence these in the memory of Fleet. It turned out to be vaguely expectant.
The Lake of the Stars is not small compared to Matt City. Nearly twice the size of the residential area, the original province of Escal was a standard frontier, and the Lake of Stars was a natural barrier against attacks from the other side in ancient times, as the Ordan Empire continued to expand its territory.
The city of Matt gradually became the hinterland, so the value of the military barrier here gradually disappeared into the famous scenery, this beautiful lake on the side close to the city, the shore of the lake, the villas built here by dignitaries or other powerful people from other places.
Frett's house was also here, and it was in a good location, and it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the families and ladies of the nobles and the wealthy mingled with each other, and they could see the way through the wide, neat streets. Many mansions are full of carriages and horses parked in front of them, which also shows the wide range of communication of the hostess and the status of the male host, and the prosperity of the family.
However, in the noisy places of these horses, there is a very unusual or deserted existence. There were no carriages and horses in front of the door, and the walls were covered with green vines, which on the one hand looked green and vibrant, and on the other hand, it looked a little desolate without tidying up.
This is the laughing stock or forgotten corner of the former "hereditary paladins" of the Fleet family, and now the city of Matt.
The carriage stopped in front of the door of Fleet's house, and when the driver opened the door, he looked at the mansion in front of him with some confusion, which seemed to him to be beautiful and rich. But at best, it is only the middle and upper level, and the people carried by his own carriage are accompanied by the peerless capacity of the two female companions who are not worthy at all.
It didn't look like a place where he could raise demonic beasts, but he naturally didn't ask too much, opened the door respectfully, and invited the three people to get out of the car.
Hui Gang looked at the house in front of him, and slowly walked forward ten meters away, but it seemed to be thousands of miles away. The two girls on the side didn't understand the two of them, one of them had experienced great changes since childhood, and they had been going through ups and downs outside, and the other was not yet twenty years old and didn't understand too complicated feelings.
None of us understand the "hometown timidity" too much
The rumbling of the carriage, especially the sound of this noble carriage, was even louder. The people of the Fleet family who lived near this street must have been accustomed to hearing this. But since that incident three years ago, there hasn't been any carriage parked here, and it's all passers-by.
At first, the passers-by were still pointing at the jokes, but now they don't bother to look at them. After a long time, the servants inside got used to these movements outside, and did not bother to pay attention to the movement outside, until this afternoon, when the butler, who was basking in the sun behind the gate, heard that the roaring carriage outside was actually parked outside.
I couldn't help but be very confused, got up from the chaise longue and walked to the gate, gently pushed open a crack, and at a glance, the old man who served the Fleet family almost fell off the stone platform at the door, and a gardener who was cleaning the yard there hurriedly came over to help the housekeeper of the Fleet family, who almost fell.
Seeing the old housekeeper's face full of blue and black gasps, he hurriedly asked:
"What the hell happened to Butler Carter, you lie down first, I'll call a doctor!"
Old Carter was there as if he had a stroke, his hands trembling, pointing outside, struggling to say something, and the gardener was already in a hurry, massaging the old man's heart with his hands, and looking impatiently at the door that was already ajar. I heard a "bang", followed by a scream of "oops".
"Oni*...... "......!!! from the Devil"
"Smack!"
There was a "thud" as Carter, the old butler, fell from the gardener's hand to the ground. "Oops" was the old butler's cry of pain when he finally came back to his senses. The gardener's first reaction when he saw the old master was the rumors of noses and eyes that had been circulating in the city, and he exclaimed. As for the "snap", it was a slap in the face to the old butler Carter who stood up with unimaginable vigor.
"Shut up, go back and tell your mother that she told her to cook something good, and that she was a guest. ”
Incidentally, there are only three subordinates in the mansion of Baron Frit, the butler, the cook, and the gardener, who married the cook, who used to have the gardener's son, last year.
Hui Gang stood by the door in a daze, looking at the old man Carter who opened the door and the young gardener who hurried inside, he naturally had this Carter housekeeper in his memory, and that was the old man who had watched him grow up with him since he was a child. I often take myself with my father when he goes out to do business.
The housekeeper Carter was already in tears of excitement, but the basic idea was still very clear, and the gardener's angry scream just now had alarmed the neighbors around him, and some coachmen and stewards were standing on the street, sticking their heads out to watch, and hurriedly let a few people outside.
The rider who had been sending them to Matt City just stood outside the door and said respectfully:
"Your Excellency, I have been ordered to send it here, and I will return to the Imperial Capital of Litan City to resume my life. ”
