Chapter 169: The Shabby City Lord's Mansion

The overall appearance of the City Lord's Mansion did catch the four Nilou girls who came here for the first time a little unprepared, and the four of them were all well-informed characters, but it was the first time they had seen a noble mansion of this appearance.

The four daughters of Nilou were surprised to find that the location of the City Lord's Mansion was only a small courtyard twenty meters long and twenty meters wide, not only did this small courtyard have no courtyard walls, but there was not even a fence around it, and the only thing that could make people see that this was a small courtyard was the pale green lawn that was paved on the ground.

Because, in the entire hill city, except for the four rows of plane trees along the two main roads, there are few traces of greenery, so the place where the lawn appears must be a mansion.

The shabby floor area of the City Lord's Mansion was enough to surprise the four Nilou girls, but what made the four of them collapse even more was that there was only one building in the entire City Lord's Mansion, a lonely one.

Not far in front of them, there stood a small silver-white building, which reflected the light of metal under the strong afternoon sun, so that the four Nilou could not see what the small building was made of, and they suspected that the whole small building might be made of metal materials.

The small building is only six stories high, and in terms of width, it is only twice as wide as the houses in the city, and looking at its sides, it is as thick as the ordinary houses in the city, and if Wang Xu does not tell Nilou that this is the city lord's mansion, then they will definitely not guess where it is, because, it seems, the appearance of this small building is very shabby, far worse than the luxury villas of the big families in the city.

The architectural style of this small building is consistent with that of the other buildings in the city, resembling a giant rectangular fortress with sharp edges. There is hardly any aesthetic value, the difference is. On the four exterior walls of the small building, there are countless square windows with large tabletops. In one circle, there are nearly twenty windows on each floor, six on the front and two on the sides.

"Is this where you live, why does it look like a prison?" Xia Na turned her head to look at Wang Xu, her eyes were full of incredulity, and her words also had a puzzled tone.

After listening to Xia Na's question, before Wang Xu could reply. Nilou, Zana, and Niya also turned their heads to look at Wang Xu, and kept nodding lightly, indicating that they agreed with Xana's opinion.

"This ......" Wang Xu wanted to open his mouth to defend his mansion, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Xiana said was right, his own small building. In appearance, it is indeed similar to a prison, and most of the prisons in Loren's world have been built into this rectangular shape full of windows. However, the prison window is obviously not as big as the window in my own small building, "It's okay." At least it's bigger than a prison window!"

"Don't tell me, you designed and built this prison too. It's really ugly!" Zana glanced at the small building in front of her, and opened her mouth slightly in disgust. Keep shaking her head gently.

"Don't say that, since this is my home, the future will also be your home, if it's a prison, then what are we," Wang Xu weakly refuted his huge ugly City Lord's Mansion, "The appearance is indeed not very good-looking, but the inside is not bad, come in with me." ”

After listening to Wang Xu's words, Zhana didn't reply, just pouted slightly, raised the tip of her nose imperceptibly, and exhaled a long breath, obviously, she didn't believe what Wang Xu said, she thought that the inside of the City Lord's Mansion would definitely be like the outside, and she couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Walking to the front door of the small building, Wang Xu raised his hand and grabbed a golden knocker on the black door, and knocked a few times, "poof, poof, poof......".

"Aren't you the city lord," in the short time of waiting for the door to open, Xia Na squinted at Wang Xu and asked in surprise: "It doesn't matter if no one greets you, why do you have to knock on the door even when you go back to your own house, are you the city government?"

"I'm more low-key......" glanced at Xia Na awkwardly, Wang Xu explained casually, what he said was obviously not the truth, it was not that Wang Xu didn't want to explain it to Xia Na, but the facts sounded more false than a lie, did I want to tell her: Because I have a lot of secrets, I don't dare to hire too many servants, so I only hired three servants.

"Squeak ......" In a dull sound of metal rubbing, the door panel to the right of the black door was opened, and out of it came a gorgeously dressed old man.

The appearance of the old man gave Nilou and the four girls a heavy visual impact, if you only look at the clothes, the old man wearing a black tuxedo suit is obviously a qualified housekeeper's dress, but the old man's appearance is a little too sorry for his clothes.

He is not ugly, he looks like he is in his fifties, but his skin is really dark, almost as black as a black man, his black is obviously not born, it is tanned, because, on his already black face, it is covered with deep black sunspots the size of sesame seeds, and there are net-like scars, these scars are obviously traces after sunburn recovery.

The old man's face was still covered with endless wrinkles, and when he opened his mouth and smiled, and leaked a mouthful of neat silver teeth, his face was squeezed into a large black chrysanthemum.

The old man is a housekeeper hired by Wang Xu, his name is Bude, he was originally a farmer who farmed outside the city, in fact, Bude's age is only in his thirties, not at all forty years old, because he worked in the field for a long time when he was a child, and his skin was burned by the sun, so it seems that he is dozens of years older than his real age.

Wang Xu has always been very cautious, hardly trusting anyone, nor believing in anything, if a person wants to gain Wang Xu's trust, then, this person must definitely go through Wang Xu's countless overt, dark, simple, complex temptations and tests, can pass all Wang Xu's temptations and tests, Wang Xu will hire him.

Originally, Wang Xu invited more than 30 people, but in the temptations again and again, those people were dismissed by Wang Xu, leaving Gude alone, because, although Gude's quality in all aspects is very average, he is smart and loyal, and he is the kind of die-hard person, he will never be bribed, and it is impossible for anyone to pry out any of Wang Xu's privacy from his mouth.

After employing Goode, Wang Xu hired his wife Lota and his daughter Saila, Wang Xu felt that like gathers like, and since Goode is a reliable person, then his family should also be reliable.

As Wang Xu expected, Gude's daughter-in-law, Luota, a fat peasant woman, usually did not like to talk, and her daily life was to serve Gude in addition to tireless work.

Goode's daughter, Sera, is only fourteen years old, a young girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, usually indifferent, but her heart is full of feelings.

"City Lord, you're back!" The tall and strong Gude, squeezing his "chrysanthemum face" that was darker than Zhang Fei, asked enthusiastically after glancing at the people who followed behind Wang Xu, "They are?"

"It's all my friends, help divide the room for them, and, these four," Wang Xu raised his right hand and pointed to the four daughters of Nilou, "It's my wife, just arrange their rooms near my room." ”

"Wife," after listening to Wang Xu's words, Goode was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and replied, "It turned out to be Mrs. Chengfu, Lota ......."

Goode turned his head and called out to his daughter-in-law, the sound was like a bell, and the eardrums of everyone outside the door hurt, and after shouting, he warmly greeted Wang Xu's guests and said: "Everyone come in first, sit in the living room for a while, I will inform you when I am ready for lunch, about everyone's room, my wife Lota will arrange it for you." ”

"Hmm!" After saying this, Wang Xu walked directly into the door, Wang Xu felt that with Gude to greet his guests, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

The four Nilous, XY, Alva, and Abigai also followed Wang Xu inside, while the two captives and XY, the still unconscious Minotaur XY, were carried by the alchemy puppets in the direction of the warehouse.

As soon as they entered the door, Wang Xu's guests exclaimed in unison: "Wow......" (To be continued.) )
