Along the way, Xia responded to Cleia's curiosity about various things, and at the same time took out the information she wanted from the little girl's mouth, which was a lot of gains.

She and the two mercenaries followed the purchasing team on their way, and it took about half an hour before they arrived at the manor built on the mountainside.

According to what she had learned from Corlia, the manor was not the place where the Kapkris family had lived for generations, but only because of the legendary mage Raj Dore Kapcris who built his magic tower here, and his descendants built it here.

It exists only so that the legendary mage can go to the manor to rest and relax when he is out occasionally.

The rest of the Kapkris family usually lived in a main city hundreds of miles away from here, which was the base camp of their family's business, and the power tentacles that spread out could easily control the entire territory under their rule.

And the little girl, Kolia, who came from the main city, would stay in the manor for about a month before being picked up and taken back.

Xia looked at the gorgeously shaped and exquisitely furnished manor in front of him, but he had a little understanding of the financial resources of this Capcis family, presumably, the other party must be the kind of person who is very prosperous among the nobles of the Prorentine Kingdom.

Of course, all this is also inevitably related to the existence of a legendary mage!

"Miss Xia, since we have safely escorted you to your destination, then we will also leave!"

At the gate, the two mercenaries, Marie Anjka and Trea Kukukl, glanced at each other and reined in their horses, and then the female deputy captain took the initiative to speak to Xia.

“...... Well, good. ”

Facing the other party's gaze, Xia thought about it and knew that the two had probably made a decision a long time ago, and she didn't object.

She then took out a special seal from her body and placed it in Marie Angelica's hands.

This is a token of the escort mission, which allows the mercenaries to prove to their mercenary union that they have completed the task issued by the employer, and in order to receive another part of the mercenary money reserved by the employer for the union.

"By the way, if you see that little girl Alexie, ask her for ten more gold mannies as compensation for Mr. Treya's previous unfortunate injuries, well, let's just say that I said it. ”

As she spoke, a subtle smile hung on the corner of Natsu's mouth, and she could probably imagine that when a certain black-bellied magical girl learned about this, she would definitely be angry with her.

"This ......"

Mary Anjeka was a little surprised, she was just about to say no in the spirit of her principles, but Trea Kukukel on the side spoke first---

"Oh, okay, Miss Xia, thank you very much for your generosity! I have to say, you are really a kind-hearted ......"

"Trea!!"

Our Deputy Master Mary was so angry that he roared in his ear, so frightened that he quickly craned his neck and did not dare to say any more.

"Don't be angry, Captain Anjka, it's decided, it's just a little thank you from me. ”

Xia waved his hand, lamenting the generosity of others, and looked like he was rich.

Well, anyway, a little fox with a black belly is very rich, and she definitely won't care about a few gold mannies, she will only be angry at someone's self-asserted behavior.

“...... Okay, then we'll take it. ”

Mary Anjeka hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement, glared fiercely at a mercenary man, and exhaled helplessly.

Then, the female deputy head of the group looked at Xia and said goodbye to her seriously: "Then, let's leave, please take care, Miss Xia!"

"Please take care!"

Treya Kukukel also put away his previous lazy demeanor, his expression was solemn, and he spoke seriously.

"Well, you too, on the way back, you must be more careful!"

Xia recalled the difficult journey and sent his blessings to the two.

She stood at the gate of the manor, watching the two mercenaries who had been with her for many days turn their horses' heads around and return the way they came, gradually walking away.

......

"Please follow me, Miss Xia!"

After instructing the servants to take care of the procurement of supplies, the butler walked up to Xia and bowed to her.

"Well, good. ”

Xia followed the butler into the manor, walked around and around to a splendid parlor, and after thinking about it, she took out the letter written by the 'astrologer' Shamil Rhodes herself, and solemnly handed it to the butler.

"Please give this letter to your Lord Raj Dol Kapkris, who will know who I am and what I am here for. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

The butler looked at the letter carefully, his expression was grim, and he nodded solemnly: "I will send it to the Marquis immediately, but the Marquis, he is still on the side of the magic tower, it may take a little time, I hope you can understand, and wait patiently here in the manor." ”

Seeing that her expression was calm, the housekeeper also continued thoughtfully: "If Miss Xia needs something, or wants to walk around the manor, please feel free to ask the servants here, they will try their best to satisfy you." ”

With that, the butler bowed to her and hurried away with the letter.

Seeing this, Xia also knew that he was going to a certain magic tower, so naturally he would not disagree.

When she came here, she saw that this manor was still quite far away from the magic tower of a legendary mage, the manor was built on the mountainside, and the magic tower was still higher up in the mountain, close to the peak, she didn't quite understand why, but if ordinary people wanted to walk back and forth, they would have to walk for at least dozens of minutes.

She sat in the parlor for a while, sipping the tea and snacks brought by a maid, and was feeling a little bored, when suddenly the door was pushed open again.

Xia Wensheng looked over, but it was the little girl named Kelya.

I saw her walk in and stand in front of Xia, looking at her like this with a pair of big clear eyes.

"What's wrong, Collia?"

Xia raised his hand and touched the little guy's head and asked with a smile.

In fact, she still likes this cute and curious little guy, at least, she is more likable than a certain black-bellied guy!

"Sister Xia, come and play with me!" the little guy said.

"Huh?"

"I'm so bored here, can you tell me a story?"

The little girl grabbed Natsu's hand on top of her head, her eyes sparkling with a hint of anticipation.

"Well, I don't have anything to do right now!"

After thinking about it, Xia didn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.

"Well, thank you, Sister Xia!"

Kelia smiled sweetly and hummed, and then, she pulled Xia out of the living room: "Let's go to the garden in the backyard, the flowers are blooming there, it's beautiful!"

"Okay......"

Seeing that this little guy was so interested, Xia couldn't object, so she took her hand and ran in a certain direction of the manor.

But then, she reacted immediately, and her expression couldn't help but be stunned.

Wait a minute......

What did she just say?

Garden in the backyard...... Flowers are blooming?

If memory serves, it's still winter, right? She's on her way here, but she's braving the wind and snow......

Or is there any special species of flowers in this estate that bloom in early winter?

Well, that's a good idea......
