Chapter 259: Private Residence
When Joseph and Gould returned from the slave market, it was almost evening. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two spent an afternoon in the slave aura, not only fulfilling the orders of the slave warriors in the Chamber of Commerce, but when they came out, Joseph also bought a dozen children in the market that day.
After all, most of these children were weak and did not have much strength, and not many people in the market were willing to buy them, so Jose bought these children without difficulty.
But Jose didn't keep them, he just couldn't bear to let these young children become slaves, or die tragically one day in the stable in the backyard of some aristocratic family.
So the children quickly got some money from Joseph and were told that they were free, and although the money was not enough to feed them for a long time, there was only so much that Jose could do.
When the two of them were busy with all this, on the way back, José clearly felt that there were a little more complicated emotions in Gould's eyes looking at him.
Naturally, Jose didn't care about this, and soon the two returned to the Duke's mansion. As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, Louis, the old butler of the Duke's Palace, was already waiting at the door. The noble butler had a bit of a famous demeanor, and when he saw Joseph get out of the carriage, he just stepped forward with a respectful expression, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Jose, this afternoon, someone from the Norman Duke's Mansion invited you and the Duke to a dinner party in his palace, and the Duke knew that you were out on business, so he specially asked me to wait for you at the palace!"
A dinner party for the Duke of Norman?
José was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to have never seen this guy since that goodbye to Norman, and that he had received a lot of gifts from him, and that he had not visited them yet.
Thinking of this, Joseph nodded, and then asked, "I know, what about Su Ya?
The old butler smiled slightly: "Yes, according to the etiquette of the dinner, the Duke has been invited to the Norman Duke's Mansion in advance. Mr. Chaux, I have prepared a carriage for you, so please change your clothes and go to the dinner, for the Duke says she will be waiting for you at the Norman Duke's Palace!"
José nodded, and then the old butler quickly arranged for a few servants to take him to his lodgings, and after the servants changed him into a dress prepared in advance, José decisively refused the request to rub the grease on his face.
What are you kidding, even if I asked the goddess out for dinner, I haven't dressed up so carefully, let alone grease and powder like a sissy!
However, it can be seen that this suit is indeed very finely worked, the black robe style, the texture is not like ordinary aristocratic clothes, but a smooth fabric like silk, and it even has a rough feeling to the touch, but it is very tough and elastic.
The style of the cut fabric seems to be a fusion of the two styles of samurai and magician. It skillfully blends the sophistication of a samurai robe with the flowing elegance of a sorcerer's robe. The lower body of the robe and the sleeves of the robe are fluttering, but the waist is cut so close that it looks quite fitted.
Joseph's original figure was tall and thin, but after a year of training in the ancient elf tribe, his figure was a little stronger than before, and he looked extremely fit when he wore such clothes. Coupled with a delicate belt, even the old butler on the side saw this, and his face was a little more satisfied.
Although the young mage's appearance has not changed much, under the background of this dress, it has added a lot of aristocratic temperament. Coupled with his identity and bearing as a magician, at first glance, it really makes people think that he is a noble child of a family.
After dressing up like this from the inside out, José was soon placed by the old butler in a carriage that seemed to be his own captive horses in Elliots' mansion. In front of a lavishly decorated carriage, two tall horses, both of the same color of snow-white fur, had long white feathers stuck in their heads, and a golden bell hung around their necks.
"Please get in the car, Lord Jose, Lord Duke has specially instructed that if you want to take this gentleman of your own, you can do so. After the old butler put Josse in the carriage, José saw that Gould was also dressed in new clothes, but in the traditional samurai costume, and the fat man who was originally bloated also added a bit of burly and capable temperament.
The servant who drove the carriage was the coachman from Ellos's house, and Gould simply got into the carriage, and then José nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
......
Norman's mansion is not too far from the Duke of Ellios' palace.
Because the Norman family was originally a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the Norman Duke's mansion is naturally in the traditional aristocratic district in the west of the city. However, compared to Ellios' Mansion, the Norman Duke's Palace was farther away from the center of the inner city, and the carriage kept heading southwest of the inner city.
There is a canal, which seems to have been drawn from the Grand Canal outside the city, and it is very wide, and it leads to a large man-made lake to the east.
Along the lake, a lot of green trees are planted, and a lot of houses and buildings are built near the lake, which looks brightly lit from a distance, but there is quite a bit of scenery.
There was a big bridge on the lake, and when the carriage crossed the bridge, there were a few guys dressed in knightly costumes standing guard by the bridge, and the guy dressed as a waiter on the side immediately stepped forward to ask, and the groom who drove the carriage took out an invitation or something like that from his bosom, and the waiter respectfully made a salute to the carriage, and then whispered to the knights, and the carriage was allowed to go.
"This should not be the mansion of the Norman duke, but a mansion like the one he bought in the south of the city, which is a habit of many nobles in the imperial capital, except for formal banquets, such a place is mainly used to invite guests and close friends!"
Gould immediately explained, but he glanced at the scene outside, and couldn't help but admire: "But then again, this Norman Duke is really rich, such a large mansion, and in such a location in the south of the city, I'm afraid that just such a large mansion will cost a lot of money, let alone build these lake pavilions!"
"Oh?" He wasn't too surprised by the Norman family's financial resources, after all, with the status of Perry Laozi, it was not uncommon for him to have such a wealthy family behind him.
Is it just that this place is said to be a place where close friends in aristocratic circles meet? This is a bit surprising to Jose, the relationship between the Norman family and the Eleos family has not always been very good?
