Chapter 51: Two Letters
Silver Peak Manor
Standing in the clean and bright corridor, Wu gently knocked on the heavy wooden door in front of him a few times.
"Come in. ”
With permission from the people in the house, Wu gently pushed the door open. The study is still so simple that it is completely unimaginable that it is the workplace of a great nobleman. And this big nobleman, sitting behind the desk, facing Sven, saw the comer, took off his glasses and put them on the table.
"Wu, you're here, what's the matter?"
"It's a good thing, sir. Wu smiled and sent a letter with a white-gloved hand, with a white cover like a glove. "The young master has sent a letter. ”
As soon as he heard this, Sven's middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly took the letter, "My child has written to me, ha, how long has it been since I received a letter." ”
Wu was wearing a butler's uniform and stood straight in front of the desk, "Master, have you forgotten that when the young master was in the Royal Military Academy before, didn't he also write you a letter every once in a while?"
The middle-aged man gently opened the letter and looked up at him, "He has been at home for several months after graduation, and he needs to write a letter, which is technically the first letter he sent me after work." ”
Then, pushing away the various documents in front of him, he spread out the paper full of handwriting, and began to read it seriously, while Wu stood silently beside him, without speaking.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to raise his head with a wry smile, "It's worthy of being my son, and it didn't take long for him to make a big deal." ”
Then, he gently folded the paper, put it back in the envelope, and then opened one of the drawers in the bottom and put the whole letter inside.
"Although I think my son would have found out a long time ago, even if he deliberately searched for it, it would be impossible for the shadow guards to be discovered, alas, and they were actively exposed. ”
A smile appeared on Wu's face, "Then the young master will definitely ask the master to summon them back." ”
"Oh, that's right. The middle-aged man stood up, twisted his arm, and relieved himself. "But even if I can listen to him in everything, after all, he has never made any wayward requests, but this is the only thing I can't give into. ”
"Master, you still remember the incident when the young master was a child. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Steward Wu showed a heavy expression on his face.
"yes, how could I forget. The middle-aged man's face was similarly gloomy, "So I had to do it when he was out of my range." ”
The atmosphere was heavy for a moment, the middle-aged man shook his head, and sat down again, "By the way, did the child write a letter to his mother?"
"?" Steward Wu showed a hesitant expression, "Master, are you talking about Madame?"
Seeing Wu's reaction, the middle-aged man slapped his head, "Oops, I forgot, I should have said 'his mother'." I don't know why, this child has called me dad and his mother mom since he was a child, I have been led astray for so many years, and I am used to it. ”
"If it's a lady, the young master also wrote one. Steward Wu said, "But Madame went to participate, well, it seems that some kind of exchange meeting went, so I just sent the shadow guard to send it over." ”
A gleam flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he stood up suddenly, propping up the table with his hands, "You mean, my lady is not in the manor now?"
"Well, that's right. ”
The middle-aged man threw himself directly onto the sofa with a smile on his face, "Great, I can finally live a relaxing life." ”
Steward Wu pushed his monocle a little helplessly, "Master, although I know that Madame usually controls you very strictly, but if you want to rest, please also finish your work." ”
"Got it, got it. The middle-aged man turned over and sat up, and said in a low voice, "Wu, call Ji Siming and them tonight, bring a few barrels of good wine from the wine cellar, and finally have a good drink." ”
"By the way, also, you go to the Chengbei Xiangkou block, there is a fried restaurant there, everything on the menu is ordered, especially fried crispy bones, come more, their crispy bones are especially suitable for drinking, but unfortunately Sang Lan She never let it, saying that it is not good for the body, please, it's all my level, are you still afraid of being crushed by that bit of frying." ”
Steward Wu silently remembered the master's orders, and automatically filtered out those complaints, and then in the function of the housekeeper, "Master, Madame also cares about you." ”
"Then which is the harm of eating fried oil or the harm of kneeling on the ground for a night?"
“......”
——
In a large dense forest, there is a clear lake, clean and transparent, as if a bright big eye is embedded in this greenery.
By the lake, there is a fruit grove with huge white fragrant fruits hanging from the branches, crushing the whole branch.
One of the largest, the size of a basketball, with its white and tender skin wrapped in sweet flesh and juice, is particularly eye-catching, so it naturally attracts the attention of several small beasts.
Like monkeys, they used their slender arms and petite bodies to swing from tree to tree, and one of the most agile was the first to climb up to the top of the branch and pluck the great fruit.
But the fruit was too big for its thin body to hold onto, so the white fragrant fruit, with a plop, fell into the water and floated on the surface of the lake.
The little beasts gathered around the lake, chirping, scratching their heads and tails, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, one of the little beasts seemed to have thought of a way, and ran into the woods, and somewhere he picked up a branch and came back, and stood by the lake, and hooked the fruit to his side.
The method was quite useful, and the white fragrant fruit was getting closer and closer to them, and the companions around them began to get excited.
However, they stopped at the same time. There was a huge tremor in the orchard behind him, and all of a sudden, all the little beasts began to flee, and even the one that was about to reach the fruit quickly dropped the branch in his hand and climbed to the nearest tree.
In the eyes of the small beasts in the trees, a behemoth approached the lake.
Like a lizard, it not only has an earthy brown cuticle, but also shiny scales in some parts that glisten in the sun. The huge body was the size of two or three cows.
It walked slowly to the lake, and began to drink, and it drank so much that the white fruit not far from the shore flowed in its direction and touched its mouth.
Seeing this fruit, if he didn't eat it in vain, the giant beast stretched out its slender tongue and rolled the fruit directly into its mouth.
When the little beasts in the trees saw this, they all began to chirp.
The giant beast noticed these little beasts, took the fruit in its mouth, deliberately showed it in front of them, and then swallowed it directly into its stomach.
The little beasts screamed louder, but they didn't dare to come closer.
The beast triumphantly continued to drink, ignoring the cries of the little beasts.
At this moment, on the other side of the lake, a woman stood by the lake with graceful steps in the jungle dressed in gorgeous enchanted leather armor, holding a delicate rune bow in her hand, and taking graceful steps on her feet.
The woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, with a cold look in her eyes, glanced at the giant beast on the other side, and bent the longbow in her hand.
The little beasts who were still screaming just now seemed to feel something, and their faces showed frightened expressions, and they dispersed in an instant.
Even the beast seemed to sense some threat and began to turn around and flee deeper into the forest.
The lake was so big that they couldn't see what was on the other side of the lake.
However, it was too late.
The slender silver arrow in his hand was shot out, the metal arrow emitted purple thunder and lightning, and the body of the arrow was surrounded by a layer of cyan light, which was the wind attribute rune on it at work.
Like a bolt of lightning, it instantly passed through the entire lake, and the lake below seemed to be unable to withstand this pressure and dispersed to both sides.
Sensing the danger of approaching, the giant beast knew that it could no longer escape, so it shrunk its entire body into a ball, the hardest scales wrapped outside, and the heavy demon source flowed on the surface, as if forming a shield.
It's just a dying struggle.
The arrow tore through its shield without hindrance, piercing its scales and piercing its skin, all without causing much movement.
By the time its body unfolded, the long arrow had penetrated its brain, and its eyes were wide open, as if it didn't even understand what was happening.
The woman lowered her longbow in her hand, and there was a burst of applause behind her, and several women in gorgeous costumes walked over, followed by a number of guards.
Two of them, dressed in golden robes, stepped forward, one took the longbow from the woman's hand, and the other put on the woman's coat, which had been prepared.
The woman reached out and lifted the long black hair that was blocking her eyes, and walked towards the noble ladies.
One of the noblewomen also stepped forward, a smile piled up on her face, "It's worthy of Mrs. Sang Lan, you can actually kill this ground armor lizard with one blow." ”
Another noble lady also walked over, "Although it is only at the level of Red Feather, how can it also be a dragon blood type demonic beast, and it has already refined dragon scales, the defense power is not a joke, it can penetrate with a blow at such a long distance, it seems that our hunting exchange meeting this time, first, it must be you." ”
The woman who was called Sang Lan just smiled, "The two of you are more famous, isn't the purpose of our exchange meeting to exercise each other's abilities and skills? ”
The last lady also stepped forward with an expression of amazement on her face, "But I still don't understand, Mrs. Sang Lan, why are you so powerful?"
Sang Lan curled up her hair with the fingers of her left hand, with a wicked smile on her face, "Our family's master is very hard-skinned, if I don't get a little stronger, how can I hurt him." ”
Hearing this, the three ladies in front of them all burst out laughing, not at all like traditional ladies.
The lady who was the first to step forward just now continued, "But I still envy Sang Lan for your maintenance skills, how did you do it at such a young age? I hired the best maintenance nurse in the country, took all kinds of medicines, and did all kinds of exercises, but this skin is not as good as yours." ”
"That's it, we can be said to be good sisters! You see you look so young, when you go out, you don't know and think that we are mother and daughter, if there is really any good way, you can't hide it privately!"
"No. Sang Lan waved her hand again and again, "I was born with this, and the most I can do is to go to bed early and get up early, and develop good eating habits and work and rest rules." ”
Just as they were having a good conversation, a dark shadow approached them.
The two golden-robed guards just now instantly became alert, but after sensing the comer, they relaxed again.
Also sensing Sang Lan, she said in a slightly apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, there seems to be some news from my house, so I'll miss it first." ”
With that, he left the clearing.
After walking a short distance, I came to a place where there were no others, "Is there something wrong?" and his tone was lazy, just like the two of them just now.
The next moment, a figure grew out of the staggered bushes, and although he was dressed in black, he had gold threads embroidered around his neck. He half-knelt on the ground and handed over a blue letter with both hands, "Madam, young master's letter." ”
"Oh?" Sang Lan's tone was a little surprised, and he turned around and took the letter. "You can go back. ”
"Yes. With that, the whole person rejoined the shadows.
Not as gentle as a middle-aged man, but ordinary and directly open the letter and browse it quickly.
Soon, with an emotional smile on her face, Sang Lan put the letter away, "My son, the secret that is clearly told is not called a secret. But if you want your dad to be a little looser, it depends on his own performance, anyway, when I go back this time to listen to the report of the head maid, I will decide whether your dad will sleep in the bed in the future, or kneel and stab on the ground. ”
