Chapter 146: The Duke's Mansion

Stannis only had a fine dress with holes exposed in his armpits as a formal suit, and he also wore it out and wrapped in stinky mud when he experienced the dream, and he was completely reimbursed.

Now he can't go to the Duke in civilian clothes, right?! So that the Garcia family, who were already unhappy with him, didn't just find a reason to cut off his head?

Stannis thought for a while, and then turned his attention to Robert, this kid is about the same size as himself, he is also a famous nobleman, and the most important thing is that he also has a gorgeous suit!

"You, take out your clothes and put them on for me!" Stannis commanded forcefully.

"No, boss, I have to rob all the clothes that can be worn, how can you let me pick up girls!"

"If you hand it over, you will hand it over, then so many words!" Stannis ordered forcedly, "it's a big deal to add 2 silver coins to your pocket money every month." ”

Robert immediately took out his clothes, "Boss, you can wear it, do you want matching panties?"

An hour later, a brightly dressed Stannis and a grizzled Robert walked into the upper part of the Intracity district.

The marble-paved roads are immaculate white, making it feel like a crime to walk up, and the plane trees on both sides are lush and green, like a city in a garden.

Stannis stood on tiptoe and looked around a few times, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's not a place where rich people live, and I feel ashamed to bring you, a guy in such tattered clothes, to come~~"

Robert glanced at him with helpless eyes, it wasn't that this guy had snatched his clothes, he could only come here in his usual civilian clothes, and if he met a familiar nobleman, he would definitely be laughed at to death.

"Boss, how can you laugh at people casually!"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business. With that, Stannis walked towards the palace in the center of the Upper Town, where he had already inquired and where the Garcia family lived.

This domed palace sits in the middle of the city, overlooking the royal city, with towering watchtowers at the corners, and is carved out of white jade in contrast to the black buildings that surround it. Dazzling like a pearl in black mud.

Robert looked at the building with admiration, his eyes showing elusive emotion, "I said that the people of the Garcia family are really rich, since they ascended the ducal throne, they have pushed down the original duke's mansion and reopened it, and built such a flamboyant building, it is really rich!"

Stannis knew the mentality of this family, that is, to announce the arrival of a new era, but also to show off their strength like the families in the past, if he became a duke, the palace would be even more exaggerated than this.

Outside the huge faΓ§ade of the palace, a long flag hangs down every few dozen steps, and the same pattern is painted on it, that is, the standing golden lion - the lion of St. Shireba, the Garcia family claims to be the descendant of the golden lion, but basically no one in the Duchy of Tanis believes it, they all know that it is this rapidly rising family that has found some noble blood for themselves to endorse.

Soon the two of them were standing in front of the palace, with hundreds of steps leading up to the huge archway, and Stannis estimated that he would be half exhausted from climbing.

"Boss, it's a shame that I won't go in with you if I look like this. Robert stepped back as he spoke, he also knew that it was not a good thing to see His Royal Highness the Duke.

"If you dare to run, I won't support you......" Before the lord finished speaking, he found that his little brother had fled with a smoke.

Stannis couldn't help but scold, "Damn, why aren't you so active when you want to work hard!"

Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, a cold female voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Stannis turned around and was surprised to see Evelyn behind him, it couldn't be so coincidental!

Seeing this beautiful crow, the lord couldn't help but excitedly shout out her nickname, "Wow, yoyo, long time no see!"

But Evelyn frowned, she didn't like it when someone called her that, especially him.

Knowing that he had lost his words, Stannis quickly changed the subject, "I mean, I'm here to see His Royal Highness the Duke this time, what about you?"

The crow flicked his short silver hair, and the hidden blade was visible through the sleeve, which made Stanis dare not think about it.

"Last month, a witch launched an attack on Third Avenue and I was sent by the church to hunt her down, and today is the day of the week to report on time. ”

Stannis remembered this, he had heard two soldiers in the military camp in Erathia mention, "Hunt down terrorists, it must be dangerous, how can a girl like you do such a thing." ”

Evelyn glanced at him, the fake Stannis was really forgetful, "I'm a mage hunter, ready to be trained to hunt down those mages." ”

Stannis felt that his concern was a bit redundant, and the fear of being dominated by this woman killing four black mages in an instant last time was awakened again, and he decided to stop meddling and go back when he was done.

The two walked up the stairs one after the other, maintaining tacit silence along the way, and finally when the man was tired and out of breath, the two finally reached the end of the stairs, and after passing through the dome arch, the two walked into a grand hall that was two or three hundred meters wide.

"Wow, that's magnificent!" Stannis couldn't help but smack his tongue, he estimated that this hall alone would fit his castle.

At this time, a beautiful maid stepped forward and asked like a guide, "Excuse me, why are you two here?"

Evelyn still looked haughty, but moved her lips, "I'm Evelyn Wolf, and His Royal Highness the Duke knows I'm coming." ”

The maid nodded, then turned to Stannis, "And what about you, my lord?"

Stannis touched his head a little shyly, "I'm Stennis Justin, and I'm here to meet His Royal Highness the Duke." ”

"Do you have an appointment?"

Stannis didn't expect that this world would have to queue up to get the number, so he had to continue embarrassedly, "No...... There is no ......"

The maid nodded, she knew how to deal with the situation, and led Stannis to a bearskin sofa and made a gesture of invitation with her hand, "Then please sit down and rest for a while, and I will inform His Highness the Duke of your arrival to see if he has time to meet you, can you?"

She was so professional and enthusiastic that Stannis was embarrassed, "Okay, no problem, you get busy first." ”

The maid smiled at him, and then led Evelyn away.

Then, Stannis sat on the couch for two hours as if he had been forgotten......
