Chapter 171: The Villa

Looking out from the small hill of Liangshan, Scarlet Villa is a small complex of buildings built on red earth.

But after crossing the crater of the natural fence dozens of meters high, you will see a different scene.

Instead of red soil, there are dense bright red plants that grow on top of the black soil.

The black base and the bright red plant are combined, and from a distance, it is scarlet color, like slightly congealed blood.

The Divine Blood Berry, the main output of the Marquis of Scarborough, is this magical fruit whose main feature is the synergistic effect of potions.

As Dumbledore had told Laura and Richard, the God's Blood Berry Cultivation Field was much larger than it looked from the outside, with a radius of about 1,800 meters, and a cratter of over 2,000 meters in the central area.

As a natural secret place, this place not only has a great layout, but also has a lot of strange features.

For example, the temperature, it is snowy outside, but there is no snow here, and the temperature is about 10 degrees above zero, according to Fran, whether it is winter or summer, it is almost this temperature, plus or minus will not exceed 3 degrees.

For another example, the land that has not been planted with the Divine Blood Berry will soon turn from black to red, so the road is bright red, which is very eye-catching.

This strangeness is obviously deliberate and terrifying. It's as if the plants are constantly drawing blood from the land, otherwise the blood will soak up and appear.

The third strange thing is that the earth and sky here seem to be set up with a super sound-absorbing layer, and you can't hear the sound of the waves or the wind, and the sound of the chariots is very inconspicuous here, and of course there are footsteps and so on.

From afar, you can see the buildings of the central district, all pure white, because they are built in the central protrusion of the crater, so they do not look like castles, but like castles.

The carriage had to travel a little more than two laps along the spiraling mountain path before it could enter the square area from the west.

The west wing of the square is the West Pavilion, under Kane's observation, I feel that its volume is about equivalent to a 4-unit single room 80 square meters duplex 6-storey staircase residential building, and the height is also similar, but this building is not a Gothic-style spire loft, only 4 floors, its floor height is equivalent to the standard of modern commercial buildings, and you can imagine a strong sense of space inside.

The main building is relatively tall, with the grandeur and ornificence of a Gothic cathedral, and even the guard tower, which has a sky passage leading to the west hall and the stargazing tower to the east. The design of the large timing tower on the top floor in the center is, in Kane's eyes, very Cthulhu.

One by one, the carriages stopped in front of the main entrance of the main building, and after dropping off the people, they continued eastward, around the large fountain in the center of the square, to the stables in the southeast.

Stables, granaries, warehouses, blacksmith rooms, laundry rooms and other functional facilities are all in the east of the square.

To the south is the Flower Gallery Observation Deck, which offers a view of the plantation fields and faces the entrance of the estate and the red avenue.

When Kane and the others got out of the car, the head maid, Panmila, had already led the crowd to greet them at the door.

There was only one servant, not a single relative.

Fran felt a little embarrassed, he, the future marquis, really had no face.

After seeing the salute, Panmila, who was very good in appearance and temperament, approached Fran and whispered a few words.

Fran's face became a little more ugly, but he still turned to everyone: "I'm sorry, squires and guards, I'm afraid I can only stay in the side building." ”

"Arthur just laid the floor in my room. Kane had a look on his face that he was used to serving.

Fran turned his head to Panmira and said, "Please try to arrange the most spacious room for Baron Wellingborough." ”

"Okay, Master. ”

Along the way, one by one, one thing after another, let the negative emotions accumulate in Fran's heart little by little, and now he has become very sensitive.

Once again, he frowned, and as he walked inward, he asked if the Ministry of Magic had arrived, even the least politeness with the others.

Fortunately, the servants were quite competent, smiling and guiding the people and briefly introducing the structure of the Marquis's Mansion and some rules.

Kane noticed that all the maids who were active in the main building were young, no more than 25 years old, and their appearance, temperament, and demeanor were not bad, and they were obviously carefully selected and trained.

Dumbledore, Laura, and Richard were placed on the third floor, while Kane and Maria were on the fourth floor.

Although it is not equipped with the characteristics of this era - the steam power system, it is a magic building after all, and there are elevators that function like elevators, and even have central air conditioning and magic lighting systems.

Of course, there are also oddities, such as the fact that the Marquis's Mansion does not use house-elves, but uses ordinary people. Even the need to host secular visitors can feel like too much.

And all of them are young maids, and the number is quite heavy, which makes people reverie.

As a dignitary with a knighthood, Kane himself is in charge of being an uncle, and he is neither suitable for work nor for asking questions of servants.

But there was nothing wrong with Maria.

She was also diligent and sweet-mouthed, helping the maid who cleaned up the room to work together, and asked about the situation by the way.

"It's the first time I've seen the housekeeper, how is Sister Panmila?"

"Pamela was very good in terms of craftsmanship and etiquette, and she was very strict with our training. ”

"And what about the Marquis of Scarborough?"

"The Marquis was very kind to us, he was not tired from his work, and he had plenty of time to rest. ”

Obviously, this is a clichΓ©.

When she was coaxed to be happy, the maid would reveal some information: "The marquis is always with Panmilla, and the friendship is very deep. ”

As for this villa complex, especially the main building, the maids are secretive, only saying that they are only responsible for simple cleaning, and there are many forbidden areas that cannot be visited.

From a general point of view, this is also easy to understand, after all, this is the ancestral home of wizards, and accidentally triggering a magic mechanism is not fun. Even the hiring of a young maid can be explained as having something to do with it, after all, there is magical radiation here, and young people are more resistant.

But if you think about it darkly, instead of using house-elves, and laboriously train ordinary people to be servants, is it just using the excuse of 'magic' to hide some secrets?

Whether it is Dumbledore, Laura, or Kane, they all thought of this possibility, after all, they all have a certain prophetic advantage, and if there is no secret, how can the Carret family completely die out overnight?

Kane doesn't care about the details of this kind of humanity.

Anyway, it's going to be killed, what do you want to do with those old people? Doing evil doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of right and wrong, digging out some bloody jokes, isn't that disgusting yourself?

Besides, now it's equivalent to sitting on a barrel of explosives, maybe when you'll be on a dirt plane, how can you have the leisure to look up those soap opera information at half past eight?

Therefore, his focus is on the core of the deconstruction of the villa, and how the events are progressing.

For example, the progress of the arrival of personnel.

The original historical line Carret's family was stewed in a pot, and none of the direct family members could run away. This means that at least everyone will have to do before the incident happens. So the progress of the event is also important.

His main problem now is that he still has less explosives, and it is more than enough to send the complex into the sky, but it is not realistic to destroy the plantations.

You must know that in 1990, the magic of the divine blood berry was completely unheard of. It means that the relevant information has also been erased from the root.

His 'earth explosives plan' is not enough, and he has to stimulate the power that can actually raze this place.

What he originally hoped to avoid was this kind of 'one road from ancient Huashan'. But in the end, I still didn't think about the erasure of information by divine attacks and fell into the pit.

If you think about it, you can really only blame yourself for being careless, it's an apocalypse, it's a golden apple, it's obviously related to God, I didn't think of the possibility of divine obliteration, who can rely on this?

Of course, at this point, it is better to complain than to act. Kane intends to start from a deconstruction perspective.

There must be a special secret room or something, and if you find it, it can be 70%.

The room allocated to Kane is, in terms of layout, nothing more than the modern ensuite room with a living room, as for the bathroom, it is standard, but in this era, even a high-profile house like the Marquis of Scarborough is considered the best.

Soon after settling down, the servants brought in a cart of sausages, roast meats, chicken legs, bread, cheese, fruit, hot drinks, and wine.

Lunch was like yesterday, and I nibbled on some dry food, which was thoughtful and thoughtful by the host, so that the guests could cushion their stomachs, after all, the grand dinner would not be held until 20 o'clock.

Kane nodded, waited for the maid to push down, and motioned for Maria to move.

His body has entered the final countdown, his digestive functions have been scrapped, and eating is to add to his blockage.

Maria, on the other hand, is in high demand for food. And the Aramaic blood made Maria almost unafraid of any toxins.

Dumbledore, Laura, and Richard don't have the same treatment as Kane.

The room assigned to them is not big but exquisite, but the bed, desk, and wardrobe are all compatible, but if you want to take a bath and solve the internal emergency, you have to go out of the room to the common bathroom and health room.

The Marquis's Mansion is actually large enough, and there are twelve rooms in the east area on the second floor alone.

But the strict hierarchy determined that Dumbledore, as an entourage, could not be regarded as VIPs.

And like servants and guards, they don't even have the qualifications to the main building, and the room is rather empty, and they won't live in those people, but can only live in the West Pavilion.

It can only be said that in this era, the class is strict, and the inherent rules of the Marquis's Mansion are also meticulously enforced.

Laura and the others did not enjoy the delivery, but a servant informed: "Simple food has been prepared at the restaurant, please go and eat if you need it." ”

Or maybe it's almost time for afternoon tea, and there is a special tea room, which is on the west side of the second floor.

Dumbledore and Laura naturally won't miss the opportunity to have afternoon tea and dig deeper into the information at the same time.

Their thinking is to start with people and find out what is going on.

Dumbledore was relatively calm. He planned to make contact with the other members of the Carrett family before making a targeted investigation.

Laura, on the other hand, was a little constrained this time, and the lofty concept of 'magic' made her less confident. Her strategy is directed towards servants.

She thought the servants must know something. The deep secrets of the Carrett family are related to whether or not Richard's soul curse can be lifted, and she is willing to work in this direction.

Richard was the most active, he had thoughts, so he deactivated the suppressant potion that Kane gave him, and had the ability to (God's will is guiding, and through the spirit affecting the physical body, it is strengthened. )。

His identity is also very suitable, as a lawyer, on the grounds of expanding clients, it is not embarrassing to talk to anyone.

After a short rest, the three of them started their own actions, and they had discussed before and had a certain tacit understanding.

Kane, on the other hand, carried out the secret operation directly in the guest room.

At this time, Maria had already completed the anti-peep inspection of the guest room under his guidance.

I have to say that the peep of the Marquis's Mansion is very clever, which is mainly reflected in the sense of proportion.

To put it simply, it is very similar to the 'living point map' that Sirius and Lupin made together. Know your whereabouts, but you don't spy on specific personal behavior. It's like modern DPS location tracking.
