Barenburg is not the dilapidated place it once was, and since Manstel became the owner of the place, it has cost more than 10,000 guilders to renovate it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But instead of simply transforming the castle into a vulgar nouveau riche style, he modified it into an elegant neoclassical style. He invited many famous artists to create in the castle at that time, and entering the castle is like entering the neoclassical art gallery, where you can see miniature paintings, murals, and statues from famous artists everywhere, reflecting the owner's high artistic accomplishment.

In particular, the dome painting in the hall has gone beyond the mainstream religious themes of the past, and it depicts a shocking war scene, a major battle of the first Barrenberg baron. However, in Salian's opinion, although the painting itself is very majestic, its authenticity is doubtful, but he never mentioned it to his master.

The dinner held in the castle today is also a reflection of the luxury and elegance of the contemporary Baron Baronberg. The rich dishes, each of which is exquisitely made, and at the same time completely conforms to the order of court etiquette. Miss Werther, who is well versed in this, also appreciates this. The wines on offer here will please even the most discerning connoisseur. On the other hand, as an accompaniment to the meal, Manstel invited Stlingen's most famous singer, one of Manster's public lovers, to live in the castle tonight. At the end of the dinner, the guests were treated to a spectacular fountain show, the only place in the Empire where they could see this grand show, and the only place on the continent was the Seven Towers Magic Academy.

Salian's greatest pleasure was not the food and entertainment, he didn't know much about them, and he was most pleased to have avoided what Achelin had told him just now. While Salian accompanied the two young ladies on a tour of the workshop in the afternoon, Manstel and Achelin were forced to attend a fashion show organized by the ladies led by Anna, and they spent the whole afternoon admiring the girls' shopping for the morning, countless new dresses, new shoes, and new bags, and they were not allowed to doze off or rest, and they were to have their opinions on everything. As a result of such hard work, Echerin's dinner appetite was twice as much as usual, and he was more tired than going to war.

Anna was overjoyed with Miss Werther's arrival, and they agreed to a great deal of quid pro quo at dinner. Miss Witte also invited Anna to Bregmen for a taste of the seafood and foreign novelties.

After a pleasant dinner, there is no night of partying, and now is not the time to have fun.

Manstel needs to arrange the cooperation with the Werther family as soon as possible, and making money is a matter of racing against time. At Salian's request, Aiherin returned to his realm to recuperate and hone his martial arts, and he would be needed to accompany him to the wedding banquet in Palatinate City, Earl of the Imperial Palace. Anna followed Salian back to Stlingenburg, where her Nightmare Beast was still there, and Salian had important matters to discuss with her. Miss Witte and Miss Teresa will go back to the "Golden Sheephorn" hotel in Constance for rest, and tomorrow Salian will take them on a tour of a rival's territory.

After a long day of returning to the castle, Yulia and Hilda were a little tired and went back to their rooms early. Salian led Anna to the study.

"Anna, I have a gift for you tomorrow. Salian said to Anna with a calm smile.

"Oh, I'll be embarrassed for such a blatant pursuit. And don't surprise me, is it true that the latest flirting methods are like this now?" Anna responded in an unpretentious tone.

"Haha, because this gift still requires a little bit of your own acting skills to get. ”

"Oh, what kind of acting are you?"

"To-morrow I will invite Miss Werther to visit Veralburg, but none of us will be welcome. Only you, the Celine Filst, who have nothing to do with Schwartenn's political and business activities, will not arouse suspicion, and you will certainly be interested in their things, and there is no need to cheat at all. All we have to do is hide our identities and pretend to be your entourage. ”

"The plate armor produced by the Rokenhausen family is the best in the entire empire, and I have wanted it for a long time. Oh, I see, I'm there to buy armor, and you're going to pay for the armor I like the most, right?"

"That's it, clever Anna, I've always wanted to have a beautiful set of full-covered plates tailored for you. It was on this occasion that we tried to complete the appointment before we went to the palace of Palettinnai. Oh, I forgot to tell you that next month the Count of the Palace of Palettinai will hold a great jousting tournament to celebrate his son's wedding, and you will go with me in this magnificent suit of armor to make the famous warriors of the western part of the empire envious. My girlfriend, must be the most beautiful, hahahaha!"

Anna controlled her facial expression, pretending to be completely concerned, and said, "Oh, I'm reluctant to agree to your request, but I also need to provide a full set of plate armor for my Nightmare Beast!"

"That's nature, I won't forget, don't worry. ”

Early the next morning, at Anna's urging, Salian, Yulia, and Anna left the castle early for Constance, who was dressed today in a more ornate cut-out outfit and carrying a fine two-handed sword, but not the famous flaming sword. He disguised himself as an ordinary mercenary, pretending to be Anna's bodyguard, and Yulia was still dressed as an ordinary shepherdess, and she was Anna's maid.

When they arrived at the Golden Sheep Horn Hotel, the two guests had already gotten up for breakfast and were waiting for them. It turns out that Miss Werther and Anna can't wait, and Anna and Miss Werther, who have known her for less than a day and become good sisters to her, not only have the same hobbies, but also have very similar personalities, and they are both representatives of the man of action.

Then there was no need for any pleasantries, and they immediately set off for some secret base of Salian by the lake. Miss Teresa is still in her original outfit, and Salian just gave her a bracelet, which is also a precious magic prop, which can shield all the magic positions on her body, and even ordinary detection magic cannot detect it, so people will only think of Miss Teresa as an ordinary girl. Miss Werther, on the other hand, went out in a most modest outfit, and she would introduce herself to Anna's neighbor's daughter, as Teresa did.

Along the way, Miss Werther was surprised by Anna's Nightmare Beast, and asked if she could pay to give it to her, to the pity that Anna explained that she couldn't control it without a special trial. In order to comfort Miss Werther, Anna asks her to ride the Nightmare Beast with her, and Miss Werther finally experiences the thrill of being a Terror Knight. She wondered if she could rely on the latest achievements in magical technology to simulate herself as a horror knight, and soon we would see a "magical" nightmare knight.

Before Yulia got into the carriage, Salian whispered to her, "Good sister, cultivate a good relationship with Miss Teresa, she will be our family's magic advisor and governess in the future, and will be my right-hand man like you." ”

Yulia thought to herself that she had guessed correctly, the first time she saw Teresa, she knew that this was another delicacy that Salian liked, but that was fine, from yesterday's contact, she knew that this rival was obviously easier to deal with than Anna, a simple girl who did not know anything about the world. Friendship with her can help us deal with Anna, and we will be able to share Salian's needs with Yulia day and night, although it seems that the special needs of the night will be some time later. Thinking like this, Yulia started talking to Miss Teresa in the carriage, as two girls who also have deep magical attainments, of course, there will be no shortage of topics, and Yulia, who has been following Salian for many years, has also learned the ability to read words and feelings, so when she arrives at her destination, she and Miss Teresa have become good friends who talk about everything.

The girls around Salian were naturally divided into two factions, Anna and Estfaria, who cherished and admired each other, and Yulia and Teresa, who went with the flow in order to achieve their personal goals.

They arrived at a tourist attraction on the west shore of Lake Bordens, and it was normal to visit the lake with a view of the water and sky in the distance. As a local lord, Salian had his own independent holiday cottage by the lake. The group came here with a happy mood and would not be suspected by anyone.

Once inside the villa, Salian led everyone directly through the secret passage to the basement, where there was a man-made dock hidden in the lava layer of the lakeshore, which was originally known to only a few members of the Hohenstlingen family, and after Salian became the leader, he had brought Yulia here a few times, because Yulia's magician power could help him here. The three girls who had never been here before were amazed at the huge underground structure in front of them, and the look in their eyes greatly satisfied Salian's vanity.

Behind what looked like a gate was a huge crater, and Miss Werther, who had been a port since childhood, immediately discovered that it should be a dock, and on the track at the bottom of the pit was a strange-looking vehicle, like a huge tear, about twenty meters long, and a metal propeller at one end explained its purpose. Miss Werther and Miss Teresa's eyes lit up at the sight of this strange thing, and Salian thought right, and they were really interested in it.

"Salian, are we just riding this strange thing through the Lake District?"

"I think it's a magically powered underwater passenger machine, right?"

Salian didn't answer them, but let the girls go down the magic escalator by the pit to the bottom, and Teresa immediately circled the strange thing, and Yulia, who had been here a few times, explained it to her. It turns out that it was made by combining the latest forging technology, alchemy, and magical power propulsion technology.

It's a pity that the time is very tight today, they didn't stop long, and after a little look at the appearance, they took this strange thing, although its internal space is not large, but it is more than enough to accommodate five people and one nightmare beast. Sarian sat in the front control seat, surrounded by many joysticks and buttons, and Yulia sat in the back row on a special seat that was clearly newly installed, interconnected with a number of pipes that stretched to the end of the entire machinery. The other three girls sat in the comfortable guest chairs in the middle, while the Nightmare Beast crawled at Anna's feet, and since it was about to get a new set of clothes, it was only natural that it would have to go to Forborg to measure it himself. Its weird shape, drawings alone are certainly not enough.

After confirming that the preparation was completed, Salian used the control arcane technique to remotely turn on the switch of the water outlet, and began to fill the dock with water, and the girls saw the water level gradually rising from the solidified image magic array around the seats, and finally passed above their heads, and then Salian used the secret magic to open the hinges on the gate, only to see the gate slowly rise, a secret waterway appeared, and finally Salian ordered Yulia to act, and saw her grasp the grip connected to the seat with her hand, and then the propeller at the end of the tear rotated from slow to fast, and they felt the whole vehicle began to have propulsion, and finally got off the track and drove towards the lake。 What a new experience, at a time when only water elementals or sea tribes could swim underwater.

"Haha, let's see how my secret weapon is, this 'Covert No. 2' underwater magic shuttle can reach a maximum underwater speed of thirty knots, and we can reach our destination in three hours. ”

Miss Witt said as she admired the surrounding scenery, "It seems that Miss Yulia is acting as our engine." ”

"You're right, this magic shuttle can not only consume magic crystal power, but also rely on the mage itself to provide power, and there are no requirements for the attributes of magic. ”

"That's really hard work, Miss Yulia. ”

"It's an unforced overtime, and Miss Yulia earns two guilders every time she spends time at Lake Bodens. ”

"Gee, you're getting a lot of pay. ”

"That's natural, I think Yulia, who I grew up with, as a sister. ”

"She's so blessed to have a master like you. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Miss Yulia was seriously driving the magic shuttle and hearing their conversation, and in her mind she was just thinking about how to get back the medicinal herbs that Hilda had consumed.

During their voyages, Salian occasionally used periscopes to observe movements on the water, avoiding ships that might spot them.

The journey was a smooth one, and Miss Yulia was more dedicated than usual, crossing Lake Bodens in two hours and three minutes, setting a new record for the fastest voyage.
