"My manor is near here, and I didn't wait long to see the light of your party's fire. "Rio is telling the truth, he really didn't stand outside and wait for Jonas like a vassal, but under normal circumstances, as a courtier, he will say that he will not be tired after waiting outside, and Rio's remarks are obviously a bit casual.

When Jonas heard what Rio said, he suddenly found that this beautiful man not only had a good look, but also did not look like a knight in his heart, but like a romantic poet, and spoke with an aria, which did give people a very strange feeling through his voice.

At least through the current few words, Jonas feels that this Mr. Rio is more of a poet than a knight.

"My presence won't disturb your life, will it?" Jonas asked tentatively, as far as she knew, this romantic knight was very complicated in the affairs of men and women, and who knew if an underage child would have any effect on his future development if he woke up from sleep at night and saw something too explicit.

"Of course not, it's my pleasure to be here. Of course, Rio didn't expect Jonas to think so far as a child, for the lord who received him, of course Rio was a little dissatisfied, after all, the nobles are very proud, especially Rio, who became a knight and became a nobleman with his own ability, of course, he was dissatisfied with bowing to a child who had no aura.

It's just that in a few words they exchanged, he found that Jonas was obviously different from other nobles when he treated others, and he was also very polite to his housekeeper, and he also treated himself with a sense of respect, which made Rio unconsciously not feel so dissatisfied with the courtesy work of reception.

"Come in, I've prepared a dinner for you to taste, but this is the country, so there are some daily dishes, please don't go outside. After the greetings, Rio stretched out his hand and pointed to his villa, and walked with Jonas and the others, along the way, because he had just come into contact, Rio was not a glutton, so there was nothing to talk about, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

"Rio, we didn't see you last time we were drinking, this time we need to have a good drink, you can't see each other again. At this time, when everyone was walking without a topic, Vig stood up and said to Rio.

Vig is actually not very familiar with Rio, he was born as a generation of knights, since his grandfather, their family is a knight of the Billo family, and Rio is the son of a merchant who comprehends the aura in the process of joining the army and is promoted to a knight, so traditional knights like Vig generally do not mix with this kind of knight who is a halfway monk, or look down on people like Rio.

It's just that Rio is a little special, although he is self-taught, but his strength is no worse than some experienced knights, and among his peers, his strength can be regarded as very strong, and the strong always worship the strong, so Vig will say to Rio that he drinks with him, which is also his recognition of Rio.

It's just that his words made Rio a little embarrassed, the reason why he disappeared that day, first, was because he didn't like to drink very much, and belonged to people who could sleep with a glass of wine, and second, because he met a beauty that day, so his heart moved, of course, he didn't want to accompany this group of old men to get drunk.

But of course he could not explain these two points as to why he had disappeared that day, for it was obviously not an honorable thing for a knight not to drink, and he certainly could not talk about the matter of having a deep communication with an unmarried woman, otherwise the parents of the beautiful woman might have broken him.

So he didn't dare to follow Vig's words, just smiled and shook his head, refusing Vig on the grounds that he wanted to accompany Jonas, and let him find the next opportunity to drink again as an excuse to avoid this hangover.

Talking and laughing, Jonas and the others followed the pace of Rio, and soon arrived at Rio's home, a two-story building made of stone and a circle of low bungalows around it, which was for the farmers of Rio.

Jonas looked at this villa, which was small but had a special interest in detail, and said to Rio: "Sir, whose handiwork is the statue of David carved on your house? Jonas pointed to a randomly placed sculpture next to the villa and asked Rio curiously, with a deep meaning hidden in his words.

This is an upright statue of David, of course, this sculpture is wearing an ancient Roman bath towel, but in his bare muscles, you can also see the skill of the carver, although it is not as good as a hand-me-down work like Venus, but if it is placed in the square for people to see, it is completely qualified.

That's why Jonas asks this question, logically speaking, although a knight's income a year is a lot, but he has to prepare his own armament and raise 2 or 3 servants, then the remaining income in a year is enough for a knight to live a wealthy life, and there is absolutely no way to buy luxury goods, and this sculpture in front of the Rio knight's door is obviously not in line with Rio's identity.

And the face of this David statue is a little different from the ordinary stone statue, but it looks very similar to Rio, which is a bit of a private custom, and it is more expensive than the ordinary David statue, which makes Jonas even more surprised by the wealth of the Rio knights.

"Oh, I carved it myself, how about it, isn't it very beautiful. Rio said with a proud face and looked at Jonas with admiration.

It took him half a year to complete this sculpture when he was walking along the road of the Count's mansion on his way to Turin, and it took him half a year to complete it, and only three months later, Jonas was the first person among the nobles who came to notice the statue.

This is not surprising, the nobles who generally come to Rio are just some knights, and of course their ability to appreciate works of art is not very good, and although Jonas is not particularly cold about artworks, he can't bear to have countless excellent statues in the Ruger family mansion.

"You carved it yourself, Mr. Rio, you're not kidding, are you? Jonas couldn't help but take a closer look at this young man in his early 20s, how this guy could do such artistic skills as a sculpting knight from the merchant class.

You must know that the merchant class is far less convenient in terms of acquiring knowledge than the aristocracy, Jonas can learn multiple languages, multiple arts, and martial arts at the same time, this is because he has huge resources, and a strong group of teachers are helping him to become a talent, and this Rio knight is obviously self-taught, this ability really makes Jonas a little unbelievable.

"Of course I'm not kidding, I did it by myself, looking in the mirror with a knife and an axe. Rio's disbelief in Jonas did not annoy Rio, but made him very happy, and a nobleman with artistic cells suspected that the author of the statue was not a knight, which means that the statue has been made to a level beyond that of a knight.

"It's really, Rio, it's amazing that you're self-taught. After getting Rio's confirmation, Jonas believed that the exquisite stone statue in front of him was indeed carved by this beautiful man, which made Jonas's understanding of Rio also begin to enrich, no matter else, at least the narcissistic character of this Rio knight was seen by Jonas thoroughly.

A few people entered the villa, the servants stayed in the houses outside, and Jonas and the others began the only meal of the day that could be called a meal.
