CHAPTER XX: Your Excellency the Baron
When the door to the suite was opened, Carl saw no longer the fringe traveler with his hood and hood from yesterday, but His Excellency Babu, a big businessman from a big city dressed in a glittering suit.
Dressed in a gray formal suit, the use of obviously fine woolen fabric, dark tie is upright and meticulous. The shiny cufflinks are engraved with beautiful but cumbersome patterns, and the whole looks like it is hand-sewn, and the stitches are fine and dense but very hidden, and only the most professional tailors have this exquisite skill.
The taste is really high, and the eye is really picky, even a set of clothes have to be so exquisite, worthy of a big businessman, I really didn't see the wrong person. Carl was glad to be like this, and glanced at Monica again.
Compared with the high-grade Lord Babu, this woman's outfit is far worse, although it is beautiful, but this dress is not high-grade at all, no matter from the fabric to the workmanship, it looks like it is made in the most ordinary farm workshop, Carl secretly pouted disdainfully, but the next moment he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes almost failed to take his eyes off Monica's feet in time.
Pretty, so beautiful, these shoes are exquisitely made, they are simply a work of art, and this breath, this is a fringe equipment, this businesswoman will not make a daily dress with an edging outfit. Hey, there are indeed two pieces that have a faint smell of edge equipment, and the other ones can't be seen, so it must be that I don't have enough perception. Are these big city upper-class ladies so good at playing? Get together a fringe equipment as a dress, beautiful and practical without delay, really, it's really eye-opening, and you must brag about it with your friends when you have the opportunity in the future.
Is this little girl, deaf and blind, said to be the sister of Lord Bรกb? He was dressed in an ordinary gray cloth robe, gray-haired, and always had an uncomfortable aura on his body, very much like the appearance of not pleasing the two merchants. But if you want to say that it's not pleasing, the two of them still have to hug her wherever they go, tsk, the preferences of these upper-class characters are really unpredictable.
In his thoughts, Karl had already made up a whole set of character stories, but he still maintained a polite smile on the surface, and bowed to the two of them: "Good morning, the carriage is ready, just wait outside the door, His Royal Highness the Baron is waiting at home, if it is convenient for the two of you, we can leave at any time." โ
"Sir Karl, it's too coincidental that you came, you came to the door not long after we came back from here, hahaha, it seems that you just made several trips." Faced with the topic that Carl deliberately avoided, Babu seemed to be confused, laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's finally all gone and I came back safely, well, we can leave at any time, can we leave now?" โ
"Please, both." Carl breathed a sigh of relief, and even walked a much lighter step, leading the way for the two of them, Monica and Babu exchanged strange glances behind him, and then picked up Anna and left the suite after him.
The carriage sent by His Royal Highness was waiting at the entrance of the inn, and unlike the luxurious carriage of His Royal Highness and the ordinary carriage of His Royal Highness Third Highness, His Highness's carriage looked ordinary except for its large size. But when you look at it from the inside, there are a lot of medals and badges hanging in the carriage, all kinds of them, and some small decorative weapons are also inlaid on the walls of the carriage, which looks dazzling and dizzying.
"Sir Karl, we are relieved to see that you are recovering well." Getting into the car and sitting down, Babu held Monica's hand and said with a relieved face, "Monica also told me yesterday, seeing that you are so seriously injured, sir, I am really worried about your body, and now I see that you are recovering so well, which shows that the therapists in your city are quite professional, and you are not crying You are a brave person, and your anti-pollution ability is also so strong, and only in this way, with the cooperation of both sides, can you recover overnight." โ
"Hahaha, the two of them are also very powerful, I heard that the two of them showed their prestige in the casino of the Second Highness last night, and they easily won several gold coins between jokes, which is really heroic." Carl also exclaimed, "We are all very envious when we hear it." โ
"Heh, they also just came out of the royal city of Vera not long ago, and seeing them is like seeing the neighbors back then, there is a special sense of intimacy, so I joked with them. It's just a win or loss of a few gold coins, and they don't mind. "Let's make a friend, hahaha, and we'll go for a walk around the edge this morning, but there's nothing very good." โ
"Uh, the two ......" Carl couldn't help it, and asked tentatively, "The two of you went to the edge this morning, and ...... with the Third Highness"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I went with His Highness Aurora." Babu sighed and said, "I can guess what you're thinking, but you're overthinking, we don't mean anything else, it's just, alas, it's hard to pay the debt of favors." โ
"Well, you mean ......"
"It was the Apostle Abby who came to the door and asked us to help with this today." Babu said distressedly, "We are actually lazy, we really don't want to go, but in order to repay the favor, we can only make one trip." โ
"Hiss......" Hearing Abby's name, Carl's expression froze, and his tone subconsciously became serious, and he asked with a more cautious attitude, "Are the two of you old acquaintances with Abby?" Ever owed Abby a favor before? โ
"That's not it, it's the first time we've met Apostle Abby, and we don't have much to do with her." Babu's words made Carl finally breathe a sigh of relief, but a cold sweat immediately broke out, "We owe Ira a favor, Abby came to the door yesterday to collect debts on behalf of Ira, if she is her own favor, maybe we will be lazy and repay the debt, but Ira's favor can't be relied on." โ
The corners of Carl's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked at the giant sculpture outside the window, the statue was still the same as before, without any change, and in Carl's ears, he heard Babu's words continue.
"Actually, we don't know when we owe Ira this favor, but she has to say that the deposit has been paid, and we owe her a favor. Tsk, we don't know what it is, and we don't dare to ask. Babu seemed to be completely unaware of Carl's inner entanglement, and his tone became more casual, as if he was really talking about some irrelevant idlers around him, "With her identity, she owes it, and it is better to run for her to save trouble by arguing with her for this kind of thing." โ
Karl's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but look at the giant statue, saying such things by name under the idol of the goddess Ella, and there was no punishment yet, could it be true that what he said? Could it be that his status is much higher than I can imagine, a real big shot? No, no, His Highness the Baron must be notified as soon as possible, and his attitude towards them needs to be adjusted.
However, what Carl didn't know was that Babu was also under a lot of pressure at this time.
When Karl looked at the statue, he also happened to look at the statue, the statue that was not unusual in Carl's eyes, but suddenly raised his head in Babu's eyes, obviously there was no face, no facial features, but Babu could feel that the statue was staring at him with some part.
No, not the statue, but the towering tree behind the statue, hiding in an unknown corner, staring at him with the ethereal face that belonged to a woman under the canopy, across incomprehensible space and distance.
Being stared at by such a terrifying existence should have been a stressful experience, but after many times, I got used to it.
"I didn't say a word of lies." "It's just a slight disruption of the order, so I have a clear conscience." โ
"Hee-hee, okay." In the will, the voice that was easy to hear the horror came again, "Then when you really owe me a favor, hehehehe." โ
"Huh? Wait, you can't count favors like that. Babu subconsciously cried out, only to realize that Carl and Monica were looking at him with puzzled eyes, while Anna was trembling against him, hiding on the other side of him and the statue.
"It's okay, a little surprise." The moment he woke up, Babu immediately controlled his emotions and regained his composure, and continued lightly, "So don't worry, Chief Karl, we are still the same as yesterday. โ
"Huh." Karl laughed twice, his attitude was already unconsciously respectful, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat in the carriage with a smile, and listened to Babu tell some interesting things that were said to have happened on the business road in the past few years, as for why Monica also listened attentively, it was not something he could understand.
While talking and laughing, the carriage slowly drove into the courtyard of one of the three gorgeous villas, and there were two female sculptures standing at the gate of the courtyard, and the body without limbs stood on the pedestal, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the expression was lifelike.
Several servants hurriedly gathered by the carriage, and each one lowered his head and looked quite cautious, as if he did not dare to raise his head. However, the two ordinary guards standing guard at the door, who were looking at them from a distance with a curious expression, were uncharacteristically jumping out of the carriage first and taking the initiative to open the door for the three of Babu, which was a treatment that only His Royal Highness could enjoy in the past.
Several servants hugged each other and sent them to the outside of the garden of the villa, and the four high-ranking maids inside immediately greeted them. Four young girls bowed their heads and smiled lightly, and the group hugged the group through the garden, approaching the main hall of the villa.
The young baron on a tall horse that I saw in the middle of the road just now had changed into a white suit similar to a military uniform that was close to the body, with a brand-new medal pinned to his chest, and a one-handed sword in front of him with both hands, sitting upright on a chair like a throne, with the garden as the background behind him, a painter stood opposite him, and was seriously painting his portrait, and several people could see from the side that His Royal Highness the baron on the drawing board was majestic and extraordinary, and the glorious image almost came out of the paper.
"A few of them are here." Seeing the maids walking over with Babu and a few people, the young baron nodded to a few people, his expression was quite gentle, and his voice was also very soft, "Just now, my father awarded me this medal in order to reward me for this success, I saw that the light was just right, so I asked the painter to help me draw it down as a souvenir." Please come in and sit down for a while, I'll be here soon after I'm done, and it won't be long yet. โ
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Your Highness will be busy first." Hearing the baron's words, Karl was a little restless, and wanted to speak several times, but stopped again, but Babu skillfully took off his hat and bowed in salute, and said indifferently, "Anyway, there are no other arrangements for today, so I just take the opportunity to take a break." His Royal Highness asked them to take us to a quiet room, and let us sit alone for a while, and if there is anything to do, we will talk about it when you are done. โ
The young baron thought for a moment and made a gesture to a few maids, who immediately approached the two of them and smiled, and while whispering softly to ask for warmth, they led the two into the main hall of the villa with half support and half leading. But Karl did not follow, but stayed where he was, and as soon as the men left, he couldn't wait to get to the baron's side, muttering in a low voice, and looking in the direction of the men.
Ignoring the changes behind them, the two hugged Anna and walked into the room accompanied by several beautiful women. The villa as a whole is quite solemn blue tones, and there are many portraits of barons with medals in the corridors and along the stairs, or specimens of various booty. The giant head that Carl brought back before had been made into a display and hung in the middle of the living room, and a huge human head hung in a solemn and solemn hall, and Babu and Monica thought about how they felt when someone passed by in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but smile very sympathetically.
Soon, the three of them were ushered into a reception room, where there were no medals or strange heads, but a few shelves around them, displaying a lot of knick-knacks that looked like they had been found from the edges, admiring these strange little objects, while smelling the freshly lit incense, while experiencing the most intimate service that they had never received in their lives.
Someone wants sunshine, someone opens the curtains, wants to read a book, someone goes to get it, feels thirsty, and someone brings three glasses of juice at the right time.
I don't know what kind of fruit is squeezed into the juice, milky white translucent juice, it tastes like Jiaodong, it is very strange, but it is sweet and cool, if you drink it as usual, you must feel that the taste is not bad.
But not today.
The two had just come across the disgusting corpse heap this morning, and its surface was a translucent jelly-like mass that solidified thousands of corpses together. At this time, as soon as the jelly-like juice was eaten, the two of them immediately thought of the pile of corpses that had exceeded the scope of the word disgusting, and then their noses seemed to smell the unforgettable stench, and under the double impact of taste and imagination, the juice squirted out of the noses of the two for the first time.
At the same time, His Royal Highness the Baron stopped painting for some reason, hurried over, and just happened to see this scene, his face subconsciously sank, frowned, and then immediately regained his composure, and asked seemingly casually: "What's wrong with the two of you?" Is there anything wrong with the drink? โ
"It's okay, it's okay, the drink is fine, it's us who has the problem." Babu smiled awkwardly and explained the reason for drinking through his nose, and finally put down the cup regretfully and said, "Forget it today, next time I will enjoy this unique drink of His Royal Highness the Baron." โ
The baron nodded, his face showing no joy or anger, and glared at the maid who was serving the drink, and the maid packed several cups with a panicked face, and was pushed out by Karl. Neither of them took the episode to heart, but a few minutes later, Carl returned to the reception room with a box in his arms.
As soon as the box was opened, two slender hands came into view, which had been in a panic to clean up the overturned drink cups a few minutes ago.
