There were more than 20 newcomers in the team, and the speed was also slowed down, so the butler Kede and others were worried, and immediately on the way to the western suburbs, Donald took advantage of the rest of the night to summon a second-class gargoyle, and ordered it to return to the Night Manor with his letter to the butler Kede, and inform him of the news of his later return.

This time, the gargoyle is permanently summoned, and the soul power in his hand is more, so Donald doesn't care about the consumption of these hundred and ten units. And the gargoyle will also have a lot of use in the future, and the two in the house don't know if they were dismantled by the Chris mage, and they also have the value of being used for the defense of the manor after sending the letter.

Although the gargoyle is as fast as many horned eagles, it is also a very fast flying class, the same speed as the Terran dragon eagle and griffin, and it will not take him a day or a night to return to the manor. Moreover, as an alchemy creature, the gargoyle is basically infallible with the master's spiritual commands, and has a long-term endurance that other summoned creatures do not have, so it is definitely the best messenger that Donald uses to transmit messages at present.

The time to return to the manor was extended to a full five days due to the exhaustion of the newly acquired men, which was still the speed of day and night, until the convoy reached the gate of the night manor, and the people in the carriage were already feeling overwhelmed.

However, these newcomers, who were originally mountain people, got off the bus and saw the scene of the Night Manor, and they were shocked.

The splendid villas, the square-shaped farms and pastures, all the layouts seem so harmonious and perfect.

"Young Master, you're finally back!"

The butler who got the news, Kede, excitedly led William and others out of the door to greet him. This is the first time that his little young master has gone out of the field so big, and he has been on the battlefield for so long, and his mood during this time can be imagined to be tormented.

"I'm back! This time the kingdom has won, I have set up the highest battlefield, and our Merlina family can finally regain a fief!"

Butler Kode was speechless with excitement when he heard this.

Donald looked left and right, but didn't find the mage Chris who had been invited by the teacher to protect the manor, so he hurriedly asked:

"Kod, where's Master Chris?"

Cord calmed down and replied:

"Young Master, Master Chris and the other two Master Mages heard the news of your return, saying that you will be able to get home today, and they are busy experimenting, so they have already returned to the clubhouse with their things early in the morning. ”

"What a mage style!"

Donald sighed, stopped asking, and instructed Kode to arrange the newcomers behind him.

Because he was notified by Donald in advance, Kode had already arranged for the newcomer's housing and other issues. Looking at the brand-new pine-based and stone-based houses, the new servants, led by Barn and Tik, were very happy and moved.

The first impression of the manor shocked them, these border mountain people who had never even seen a real aristocratic manor, and only saw the residences of the town squires from afar when they went into the city to sell fur and mountain goods, where had they ever seen a design like Donald that far exceeded the architectural pattern of this world?

Not to mention the housing prepared for them by the master's family, these houses are not even for some small noble squires to live in, but they are actually places for these servants to live?

Although Donald did not actually treat these people as servants, in his view of some of the ideas of his previous life, those nannies and cleaners were just jobs, and their status was not inferior in law, and he always believed in the meaning of the phrase that if the horses wanted to run well, they had to feed the horses, so the treatment of the servants in the family was more favorable than that of other nobles.

But in this hierarchical world, these servants dare not go beyond the slightest.

Although hired servants were not to be disposed of as privately owned slaves, the Kingdom Inquisition was set up to protect the rights and interests of the aristocracy, and torture was reserved for servants who did not work, were cunning and even betrayed their masters. Civilians don't have much say in this world.

Among this group of newcomers, a few young men led by Barn and Tick were arranged to be under the chief attendant William, to receive some training in etiquette, and to serve as guards to protect his master when Donald traveled. Usually, these people patrol and guard the manor with the members of the escort team they recruited before.

As for their families, the older women were assigned to help in the kitchen and ranch, while the younger girls were temporarily assigned to the head maid William's wife, Isabella, to be trained as maids in the future, and the rest of the male family members were to help on the farm.

In this way, as long as they work, everyone can get wages, although there are fewer servants hired from outside, but the unconditional food and shelter provided by the master is enough to make these mountain people who have lived in exile grateful in their hearts.

On the day Donald returned to the manor, the news of the arrival of an envoy sent by the royal capital to Boulder City had already been informed by the Sir Jesse in the city.

"The envoy from the royal capital has been delayed for several days on the way, and there should be news of my reward!"

Donald was not surprised to hear this, knowing that this must be an envoy sent by the royal family to deal with the issue of rewards, and no matter what, his own military exploits could not be erased.

So he gave the messenger of the messenger two silver moons of reward, and sent the other party back beautifully.

In contrast to Donald's own indifference, it was the first time that he had the honor to welcome the royal envoy, which made the Butler of Kode, who had been working to restore the honor and status of the Merliner family, very excited. This was not an honor that ordinary nobles could enjoy, and Zhang Luo was busy all night, preparing to greet the royal envoy with the grandest spectacle.

So the next morning, when the carriage of the royal envoy came to the gate of the manor, the appearance of the night had been renewed, the gate and the railings of the European wall on both sides were decorated with rose branches, and the stone paths inside and outside the manor were sprinkled with water.

The door opened, and out of it was an elegant, mature and charming aristocratic woman.

I didn't expect this envoy to be a delicate woman.

The identity of this envoy surprised the greeters, led by Donald. It's not that women can't be officials, but the people who have always represented the royal family are generally male aristocratic officials, and unless they are married, they will be represented by female royal family members such as princesses.

Of course, this will not be absolute, so Donald and the others did not feel any other problems except for some surprise at the appearance of this noble envoy.

"I didn't expect His Majesty the King to send such a beautiful royal envoy, I feel so honored, I'm Donald Melinna, the master of the Night Manor, welcome to the North County!"

Although the reward he was about to receive was almost certain, Donald greeted the royal envoy with the best courtesy.

The envoy smiled reservedly and returned the salute with the most perfect aristocratic grace.

"My name is Catherine, Earl of the Court, please call me Catherine, Mr. Mage! This is my first trip to the royal capital, and your manor is beautiful, Master Melina, may you show me around?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure, please come with me!"

Donald bowed and extended his hand to invite the other to enter.

The butler behind him, Kede, was already ready in the manor. As soon as you enter, you will find a straight and neat white stone wide road that leads to the central building of the manor, Donald's well-designed villa.

During the time when Donald was away from home to join the war, the manor's villas had been largely completed under the supervision of the steward.

The court countess, Catherine, was amazed and amazed at the architectural style of the villa and the facilities of the manor that almost rivaled the palace garden.

This is the villa of a small nobleman in the countryside, which is comparable to the most famous seaside resort estate in the mainland!

Everything here is so harmonious and beautiful, gorgeous and simple, noble but not cold, making people feel a special taste of holiness and comfort.

Between the villa and the main passage is a circular square built in strict accordance with geometric splicing, and in the center of the square is a white fountain pool.

In the center of the pool is a legendary creature, a sea goblin, which is very similar to the mermaid in Donald's previous life, and basically matches the appearance. The spring water is sprayed from the shells that the kraken holds in both hands on his chest.

The semi-circular curtain of water splashes fine water mist in the pool, and under the reflection of the sun, colorful rainbow light flashes from time to time, presenting a man-made scenery that has never appeared in this world.

Seeing this, the countess covered her fair-skinned chest with her hand and let out a delicate exclamation.

"It's ...... It's so beautiful!"

While the countess marveled at the beautiful sight, Donald, as the master, kept his eyes on the beautiful scenery on the countess's chest.

It's not that he's too sexy, it's that he's been in this world for so long, and it's the first time he's seen such a beautiful "landscape". And the impulses and enthusiasm of his seventeen-year-old body are not controlled by his thirty-year-old soul at all, and he is involuntarily attracted by the mature opposite sex.

The countess, who had come back to her senses for a long time, did not notice Donald's strangeness at all, grabbed him by the sleeve, and asked eagerly:

"Mr. Mage, what is this, is it a magical building built by mages?"

Donald couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and explained:

"This thing is called a fountain pool, and it's just a little application of alchemy! You know that our master Messer in North County is also my teacher, and he has a high attainment in alchemy, and I learned a little bit of alchemy under my teacher some time ago, and I am still very immature, so I can make some things to enjoy!"

Donald is also in more contact with the outside world, only to know that there has never been a man-made fountain in this world, when building villas, I thought that in the previous life, there would generally be one or two fountain statues and other beautiful buildings in front of the mansion as landscape decoration, and his country's traditional garden architecture is an indispensable water source, which represents the vitality of a building, which can give life to the cold building.

So he spent a few days researching and figuring out a fountain. Because he couldn't find a suitable statue for a while, Donald paid him 300 gold soles, and now he asked a famous sculptor in Boulder City to design and carve one.

And the fountain is a water circulation system established by using the siphon principle of the previous life, combined with a little alchemy as an auxiliary power. Before Donald left, the entire fountain pool had been prepared, and all it was necessary to turn on the power to make the fountain function. Receiving the news of the impending arrival of the royal envoy, Donald spent some time in the evening activating the fountain.

The countess listened to Donald's explanation and praised:

"Mr. Mage, you are too modest, if you move this beautiful building to the royal capital, maybe it will be appreciated by well-known architects and artists in the mainland and become an invention that will go down in history!"

Donald smiled and didn't answer, this fountain was also from his previous life, and he didn't plan to take it out to attract too much attention from the outside world. It's better to keep the good things for yourself to appreciate, maybe you can earn a lot of money and fame by launching the fountain pool as a commodity of your own invention, but he has no shortage of fame, and he has a few incomes from the Night Manor, and he, the baron, has basically the highest annual income in the entire range of nobles in the North County, so what do you want so much money for?

If the introduction of the fountain pool can greatly improve his mage level, then Donald will definitely have no scruples to do it, after all, the strength of this world itself is fundamental. With strong strength, power, status, money, and so on, everything is at your fingertips, and you don't have to be afraid of being coveted by outsiders.

If you don't have enough strength and expose too many secrets, it's definitely a dangerous act to find death!

After taking the royal envoy on a tour of the farms, ranches and other manor buildings, Donald led her into the guest rooms that the butler had ordered to be sorted out.

Thinking that after he enlisted in the war and left, the main body of the villa had just been built, and the interior decoration was carried out according to the previous design, he had not yet inspected all the facilities, and the other furnishings in the villa were arranged by the Kede butler according to the style of the general aristocratic residence, and he didn't know if it was to his liking.

Donald continued the unfinished examination of the previous day while the butler and the servant prepared the dinner while the countess was resting in the guest room.

Yesterday I have checked the lighting system, water storage and domestic water system, and the lighting is all pollution-free charged crystal lamps, and now Melinna's family is not short of those blank crystals. Especially the ceiling crystal lamps in the villa hall, Donald spent a lot of money to create a gorgeous ceiling crystal lamp group similar to the Western court in the previous life, reflecting the entire space as if it were a palace of gods.

As for the water storage and domestic water system, Donald is also relatively satisfied, except for a slight lack of water pressure and a slight lack of crystal water pipes, it can basically maintain the same effect as the tap water in the previous life.

Alchemists have ready-made recipes for artificial crystals, which are used to craft crystal bottles containing alchemical potions and various corrosion-resistant alchemy utensils. However, the cost is high, and it cannot be used as a good energy carrier to refine magic tools like natural crystals.

After Donald took it, he changed the molding method slightly, and made a crystal tube for water delivery and a large piece of crystal glass half an inch thick. Alchemy crystals are naturally not as strong as metal water pipes, but you can see the situation inside the water pipes, and the metal smelting technology in this world really can't reach that level, so Donald can only take a crystal pipe that needs a few silver months to cost a foot long instead.

As for the shape of the crystal glass piece, it is not as transparent as the one made in the developed factory in the previous life, but it is basically flat and transparent, and it is inlaid on the windows of the villa, and the sunlight can shine on it all day and night. And those inside can also enjoy the view outside the villa.

There are similar glass windows in this world, but they are all colored crystal patches pasted inside the windows like Western churches in the previous life, inlaid with gold and silver, highlighting the mysterious and luxurious atmosphere, but they are not transparent, how can there be such a neat and bright as Donald's Villa?

Donald then visited the kitchen at the back of the villa, where the tables and stoves were made of smooth stone to keep all the cabinets tidy, and the exhaust vents and flues designed by Donald made the smoke much less than in the past.

Because the climate in the north is relatively cold, so Donald in the rebuilding of the stove at the same time, deliberately designed a set of this world people do not understand the geothermal system, usually each stove behind the gate closed, the hot air directly through the flue outside, and when the weather is cold, you can open the gate, so that the whole villa is warm, as if in a sunny summer.

Finally, Donald checked the outdoor swimming pool at the back of the villa, which was one of the facilities he was most concerned about, knowing that in his previous life, he wanted to live in such a mansion-like villa with swimming pool, garden and other luxury facilities, which was basically an impossible dream for him to achieve.

If he doesn't enjoy himself in this life, wouldn't he be sorry for his current aristocratic status and travel back in vain?

In a short time, the butler had almost finished preparing the dinner, and a servant was sent to remind the host and the guests of the meal time.

The countess, who was a little reluctant to leave her beautiful room with a sense of novelty about everything in the room, soon not only did the manor house attract her attention, but some of the delicacies on the Donald's table that she had never seen before clung to her stomach.

After tasting a bite, the countess, who had intended to maintain the dining demeanor, couldn't help but let go of her reserve, although the movements were still so elegant, but the eating speed was at least three times faster than that of Donald, who was the master, and not long after the last dish came up, she was wiped out, and at this time the master's portion was not half eaten, so that the countess, who could only wait for the next dish to come up on a clean empty plate, blushed at a loss.

This is the first time this situation has appeared in her, which makes Catherine secretly scold herself for being too reserved, greedy for tongue, and forgetting years of royal and aristocratic education.

Fortunately, Donald's thoughtful order to the butler not to wait for him and continue to serve food to the guests relieved the countess's embarrassment, and then she forgot about the previous embarrassment and continued to devote herself to the food.
