Baron Dalí Einfurt, dressed in a sleek black general's uniform, sat in a luxurious carriage and looked out from time to time.

"Drive!" Under the whip of the coachman, four tall black horses galloped, and the six hussar warriors who followed closely behind the carriage also began to speed up, and the cart loaded with luggage followed at the back of the line.

The road is close to the northern coast of the Valsta Peninsula, where farmers are toiling in endless wheat fields and children are playing in the open space outside the cottages in the countryside.

The scenery outside the window passed quickly, and Dalí was immersed in warm memories, because this was the road that led to that beautiful city by the sea, and he thought about his homeland day and night.

At the corner of a winding mountain road, I finally have a panoramic view of the city.

(Tadjavi!) The hometown that haunted my dreams, I personally captured your city wall, but I had no choice but to leave, and finally returned, I hope that peace will last forever. ）

Baroness Jane Winsted embraced her husband, her amber eyes filled with tears and dripped down Dalley's cloak, and her voice became hoarse:

"God is cruel, let us keep gaining and losing, losing and regaining."

"Honey, it's going to be fine."

Dali gave his wife a gentle kiss on the cheek, buried his face in the scented red curls, and held her hand tightly.

"Remember that song? The one that the old gardener, Mr. Mark, once sang. ”

Jian Ning wiped away her tears and said, "You mean the song "Coming Home"? Who says you don't know romance? How suitable the scene is now, let's sing together! ”

Horses gallop forward, singing in the wind:

“

Wandering traveler

I've traveled all over the world

See the wonders of the world

Santa Ana Falls

A leaky faucet

The Great Mausoleum of the Pope

A pile of dusty masonry

The Midnight Family's Golden Lake Palace

It's just an old mansion

These so-called wonders

It's not as beautiful as half of my hometown

The days of wandering will come to an end

An old friend from home

Wait until I get home

O my faithful companion

Go home for me

If I fall on the road

Please excuse yourself, too

Take me home

I only wish to sleep in the land of my hometown

Whether it's life or death

The final destination

It must be home."

The carriage drove to the western outskirts of Tagarvi, through vast farms and woodlands, and finally stopped at the door of the Einfoot estate, where the coachman tied his horse and lowered his pedals, and the baroness dismounted, arm in arm.

In front of it is a manor mansion in the style of the ancient Valstad Empire.

The walls, minarets, and vaults are covered in intricate reliefs, and despite the weather, vine-covered facades, and deserted courtyards full of weeds, this imposing building still exudes a unique charm that impresses servants and soldiers alike.

The hussars walked to the wagon and began to unload their luggage, Baron Dalí reached into his coat pocket, took out an old iron key, walked up to the towering oak gate, twisted the key, and with a hard push of both hands, the door opened with a creak.

Warm sunlight seeped through the cracks in the door into the dark and damp hall, and the new Baron Einfoot stood in the doorway, but no one came to greet him, only dust and cobwebs, and mildew on the wallpaper, which had been deserted for a long time.

In those good days that had passed, the young master rarely opened the door himself, and it was the butler and servants who respectfully welcomed him in, and now it was empty, which made Dalí a little sad.

Jian Ning noticed her husband's emotions, so she said mischievously, "Welcome home, Master Dali!" "It obviously worked, and Dalí was in a much better mood.

One of the attendants choked on the dust and asked in confusion. "Lord Baron, I heard that you personally captured Tagarvi City, why don't you repair your manor mansion?"

"At that time, I only cared about managing government affairs, and then I was looking for revenge against my enemy, and then a civil war broke out, and I didn't have time to rectify the family house, so this time I had time."

"Yes, my lord, it's a truce, don't worry, we'll help you renovate this place."

"You're not enough, you have to go to the city and hire more people," said Dali, taking off his coat and rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, "You can get to work, and I'll show around with my wife." ”

The entourage carried their luggage into the hall, and a veteran climbed the ladder, unloaded the wooden planks that had blocked the window lattices, and then simply wiped the muddy and dusty glass with his gloves, and the darkness faded, and the sun poured into the hall, and the lifeless mansion finally came to life.

Baroness Jane Winstede stepped straight into the hall, the thick plush carpet had not been cleaned for a long time, and each step stirred up more dust, and she walked on, ignoring the cobwebs hanging from her expensive dress, reaching out to caress the familiar cedar armrest, her delicate lace gloves stained with dust.

"At that time...... How warm, how lively, every time we come home, the old butler Weiss is smiling at us," Janine said sadly.

She walked over to the sofa and recalled more beautiful things: "Father loves to sit in the hall and read the newspaper, and you and William practice swords on the side, and I and the servants applaud you together." ”

Her eyes moistened again, and she caressed the ornaments of the hall, for for her, everything here carried a fond memory.

"Don't cry, honey, you and me, everything will be fine." Dali hugged his wife and comforted him.

A dragoon captain stood at a distance, and when he saw the baroness and his wife embracing each other, he did not come forward to disturb them, and waited until they were in a calm mood before he came forward to talk:

"General, I heard that you are looking for me."

"Captain Dam, are you a local? Newly recruited? ”

"Yes, my lord, my family is in the city, I originally served for the noble allies, and I only recently joined the army of the Duchy of Valsta."

"I heard you're good at organizational management?"

"I don't dare to be, my father runs a shipping company and needs to hire people often, so I have a little network resources in the local area."

"You're so humble, my adjutant said you're Tajavi's jack-of-all-trades, could you please do me a favor?"

"You are a knighted baron, a war hero, and it is my pleasure to serve you, General."

"Very well, I will pay you, and I will ask you to go to the city and hire a helper for me, and I need an engineer, a mason, a carpenter, a shrewd servant, and an experienced butler who knows how to keep control of the servant.

Dalí looked out the window and added, "By the way, the garden is also in dire need of repair, a gardener and a stonemason, and a painter!" Tomorrow before noon, I will see people busy in and out of the house, and I will move in in a week, and my wife will be dealing with the expenses. “

Seeing that the young officer kept peeking at her, but because of her identity as the general's wife, she didn't dare to look directly, Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh a little, she had long been accustomed to the attention of men. She took off her gloves, gave the officer a kiss, and thanked you, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Madame General, I'm sure people will compete for these jobs, and I think people have always been very accurate, and I will definitely find the best servants and craftsmen in Tagarvi for you!"

With that, Dragoon Captain Dam straightened up, smacked his heel hard, gave General Dali a standard military salute, and then went out and rode into the city.
