8 Guests & Teachers
The butler received a guest in a white robe at the corner gate of the castle at dawn.
"What about my sister and brother-in-law?" Guests take off their leather gloves and pin them around their waists, and walk lightly on the path that goes unnoticed. He was tightly wrapped, revealing only the narrow violet eyes above the mask.
"The lord and the lady are waiting for you in the study." The butler still knew the deviant heir of the Curtis family, and added thoughtfully, "The little master should be having breakfast." ”
The guest paused, thought for a moment and asked, "Is it convenient to take me to have a look?" ”
"Of course," replied the butler with a decent smile, "the lord and the lady will be pleased, too." ”
Orin and Eli sat on either side of a large table, silently enjoying their breakfast.
Unlike the silver knives and forks in Orin's hands, Eli held two small smooth sticks that seemed strange to others. He expertly picked up the slices of ham from the small plate and placed them on top of the broken bread, adding a piece of crushed butter to it.
Knock on the bell, Elite ham butter bread finish!
Eli admired his masterpiece with satisfaction, picked it up and took a big bite. The ham doesn't dry very hard, it is lightly fried, and the butter melts slightly in the lightly charred bread, and the salty, sweet and cereal aromas combine to make it one of Eli's favourite breakfasts.
His cheeks were bulging with food, and he looked a bit like a little squirrel that haunted the woods. The maid next to him saw that he was chewing a little hard, and worriedly handed over a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.
Orin opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.
All the movements he thought were secret fell into Eli's eyes as he was facing him, and Eli swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty, his small eyes swishing at Orin.
It's strange that Orin isn't the one to stop talking.
Eli picked up the bowl and took a sip of the fragrant and silky creamy mushroom soup, and thought silently: Speaking of the fact that Orin had come back from the plough a few days ago, it seemed that something was wrong, but he was busy with the garden of Hoho Castle, and he didn't bother to find out the reason for it for a while.
Ah, no, why is he looking for a reason? He and Orin are only past their fateful friendship, and they have no emotional foundation, and they don't even know each other very well after all.
Orin loves how about it, he's been busy lately, and he doesn't care much about adolescent children.
Eli instantly left Orin behind, and he had to focus on the food itself, such as this mushroom slice that tastes like a mushroom, fresh and tender, and when he has time, he will go to the chef and ask if this can be fried with the meat slices or fried in batter and eaten in sauce.
It would be nice to have chili noodles, Eli thought, and fried mushrooms were the best.
He ate so deliciously that even Orin, who was already full, wondered: Could it be that he was eating in the wrong posture? It's the exact same meal, but Eli's looks a little more fragrant than his.
Eli was satisfied with the meal, and after putting down his chopsticks, he finally picked up his aristocratic education, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth elegantly.
Eli was about to jump out of his chair and go to the small garden to finish his unfinished experiment, when he suddenly felt a look of no malice. He looked around in amazement, and saw a strange white-robed man at the corner of a hidden staircase.
The white-robed man obviously didn't expect to be discovered by Eli, he subconsciously took a half step back, reacted and waved at Eli as a greeting.
The white-robed man was still followed by the butler, who should be a guest at home, Eli showed a well-behaved smile.
"Little Eli has become more cute," the guest's narrow eyes curled, and soon, the smile in his eyes faded and was replaced by undisguised distress, "I have been sick, and I have lost too much weight." ”
The housekeeper knew in his heart that the eldest young master was just sighing, and he didn't need his own accompaniment, so he just stood aside decently.
Seeing Eli leave, the guest withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go, sister should be in a hurry."
Eli, with Feria's permission, led a gardener and a few guards to transform a corner of the back garden into a test field, and he even hired a versatile gardener who could do carpenter work to make a sign that was ceremoniously erected on the edge of the test field.
Yesterday they had planted both the potato and sweet potato vines, and today's job is to water them.
Speaking of seeds, Eli thought of countless reasons in order to rationalize the source of the seeds, such outrageous and outrageous reasons as what he picked up on the road, what he brought out of the cave, and what a kind white-bearded old man gave him. But as if they hadn't asked Eli where he had brought a dragon that was supposed to be extinct, neither Dylan nor Firia showed curiosity.
"Eli is still young, and he does what he wants to do." "I know Eli has her own little secrets, but Mom has her own little secrets. Eli never asks her mother what her little secret is, so her mother doesn't ask Eli what her little secret is. ”
No, Mom, listen to me, I really didn't know you had a little secret.
Dylan didn't say anything, and even asked Eli to get a retired farmland officer to help.
"Because our little Eli is special." Dylan pressed against Eli's face, and the stubble that came out slightly was a little itchy, and Eli couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The most troublesome problem of rationalizing the source of goods was solved with ease.
Although he always felt that something was not right, Eli pressed the question for the time being, and he would know later. Anyway, he can take out the cards he draws and use them now!
The most troublesome problem of rationalizing the source of goods was solved with ease.
In her previous life, Eli had often heard her roommates complain about her family of origin, and enlightened parents like Dylan and Firia would definitely cause a lot of envy and jealousy when they went to the dorm room for a night talk.
The Lord God is a little unreliable, but he has completely done it to give him a more wonderful life.
In between waterings, Flo the gardener, a middle-aged man who was out of the ordinary, was no different from most young people except in appearance.
"Little master, you planted this-"
Seeing that Flo forgot, Eli thoughtfully reminded: "Potatoes and sweet potatoes." ”
"That's right! Potatoes and sweet potatoes," Flo said at once, as if he were discussing some secret matter, "is it delicious?" ”
It's delicious, of course it's delicious, the french fries, mashed potatoes, and roasted sweet potato crust are delicious!
Eli resisted the urge to name Flo's dish and cautiously replied, "I haven't eaten either." ”
This answer did not dampen Flo's enthusiasm, and he boasted with a fluttering eyebrow: "It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten it, whatever food will become very delicious in my wife's hands." ”
His wife is a cook at the castle and is a very good cook, and she is very willing to try new things. Eli's lye knots and jams are made with the chef's support.
"You're right." Eli agreed.
This morning's creamy mushroom soup was made by Flo's wife, and Eli couldn't stand the creamy stewed cabbage and carrots yesterday morning, so she just mentioned it to Flo's wife, and changed it to mushrooms today.
Even though it's still a stew, it's much more delicious than turning into a mush when you press it with a spoon.
Thinking of breakfast, Eli remembered the fried mushroom slices he had in mind, and he discussed with Flo: "Can you go back and ask Danya if the mushrooms you ate this morning can be fried with pepper?" ”
Eli didn't toss a new dish once or twice, and Flo readily agreed: "What's the problem, I'll let my son go to the Dragon's Back Valley to pick some more mushrooms at noon today." ”
Dragonspine Valley? Isn't the Dragonspine Valley the valley where there are coal mines?
"Then don't do it, the Dragonspine Valley is too dangerous." Eli was a little angry, "How did you let your son go to such a dangerous place?" ”
A small person, speaking of Flo's son like an elder, no one would have thought that Flo's son would be able to add him a playmate of the same age if he worked hard back then.
The people who pricked up their ears to listen to their conversation couldn't help but turn up the corners of their mouths, and the little young master had such a magic power to give people happiness.
Flo held back a smile and shook his head: "The place where this mushroom grows is on the outskirts of the valley, besides, since the little young master brought back the dragon, the demonic beasts have retreated to the depths of the valley and dare not come out, it couldn't be safer." ”
Flo doesn't say that Eli is almost forgetting that he still has a dragon. Eli heard that the dragon had been guarding him for half a month and then ran to the gathering places of the demonic beasts in the territory to make trouble, probably because he was not happy.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Eli admonished, "Don't take chances. ”
What happened to the Kaye family really made Eli have a bit of a psychological shadow on Warcraft, human life is too fragile, and he doesn't want to see such a tragedy happen again.
"Huh," one of the guards asked, stabbing his companion with his elbow and lowering his voice, "is Uncle Flo's son ......?"
The young guard with honey orange eyes held up a finger in front of his lips, and there was a smile in his eyes.
In front of Eli's earnest, cute little face, Flo held up four fingers and repeatedly promised that he would never drag his son to the dangerous Dragon's Back Valley.
Of course, if the son heard from his mother that the little master loved to eat this kind of mushroom, so he spontaneously ran to pick it, it would be none of his business.
Eli didn't know Flo's "sinister" style in front of him and behind his back, and he was taken away by the head maid who came in a hurry.
"What did my father and mother ask me for?" Eli asked.
After Vile was arrested, the position of the head maid became vacant, and the new head maid happened to be one of the maids who had been taking care of Eli, and unlike the serious Vile, she was the type of doting child who would help Eli clean up the crime scene and fool the lord and his wife.
After becoming the head maid, her temperament did not change much, she squatted beside Eli, and said mysteriously: "I heard that the little master's teacher is here." ”
"Teacher?" Eli was shocked, he had been interrupted by the farming business, and he had completely forgotten that he was going to learn magic.
"Yes," said the head maid, sharing the information she had received without hesitation, "I arrived not long ago, and the lord and lady went to the gate of the castle to pick them up. ”
It turns out that the maid's information is generally infallible.
Eli tiptoed open the heavy door, where Feria, Dylan, and a man with a pointed mage hat with his back to the door were having a good time.
"Eli is here," Phiria beckoned to him with a soft smile, "come and meet Master Sabia." ”
The magician turned his head, he was a somewhat mean-looking old man, his long white beard was groomed and neat, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, but his eyes shone with wisdom.
He glanced from head to toe with those cobalt-blue eyes.
This kind of look is very disliked, and Eli even gives birth to the illusion that he has been licked by the snake's Nobuko.
"Huge mana," the magician stared at Eli in a hoarse tone.
"It's like a dragon."
