Chapter 414: Caesar's Manor
[[[CP|W:800|H:600|A:L]]] Riding in Caesar's luxurious carriage, Ice and Alice arrived at Caesar's manor in the southwest of the city of Alante.
Caesar looked outside through the carriage window and said, "Your Royal Highness, you have entered the confines of my manor. ”
Alice also looked out of the car window, the night was too dark to see clearly, but she could still get a rough view of the scenery up close. Alice exclaimed, "Wow, is this your manor?" She saw a large forest in front of her, and several quiet paths in the woods led into the depths of the woods, and the carriage and the guard were walking on one of the paths.
There is also a creek river next to the woods, and there is a water mill by the river, and several farmhouses. She was surprised not by the manor itself, but by the fact that the manor was an international metropolis.
Bing Zhixiao also glanced at it, and was amazed in his heart, it was not surprising to see such a manor in the countryside outside the city, but it was indeed surprising to see such a large manor in the city. You must know that in an international big city, every piece of land represents an expensive value, and what such a large estate means, you can imagine.
Caesar said: "This area has always been our family's domain, and it was not in the city of Arrant before, but it was only in the last hundred years that the city of Arrant has been expanded, and my manor has been included. However, it is still far from the manor of the great nobles of your Demon Moon Empire. ”
"No, no, no. Alice laughed, "How big are you here?"
Caesar said: "The manor consists of a small town, two villages, four woods, two pastures, etc., and a total of more than 700 peasant families. ”
"Wow, it's not small, it's still in the city. Alice looked out the window again, and along the way she saw a number of churches, wineries, and other buildings: "Hey, what is that?"
Caesar looked in the direction she pointed, "Oh, that's my private courtroom, but it's now a warehouse. It's just that it's dark now, and tomorrow I will definitely take Her Royal Highness to my manor to have a good time and have a look. ”
As the owner of the estate, all the farmers on the estate are the private property of the owner, and the owner has the right to judge them for their wrongs on the estate, without having to follow the actual law. In other words, the master is the law, the absolute authority. In fact, the Demon Moon Empire did not have a manor of this nature for a long time, but it still exists in other countries.
After driving for more than half an hour, I arrived at the residence of the owner of the manor, where Caesar lived. This elevated residence is a testament to the wealth and luxury of its owner, surrounded on all sides by ornate interconnected buildings. In the middle of the building is a garden that is more than three times the size of the hotel where Bing Zhiyi used to stay. There are all kinds of fountains and sculptures, and the spars dotted in the middle set off the garden to the fullest.
According to Caesar, his mansion was inhabited by more than 300 male and female servants and personal guards, including slaves, and these more than 300 people served him alone.
And this is only one of his estates in the whole country of Cabbage, and his family does not live here.
Getting out of the carriage and entering Caesar's residence gives the illusion of almost arriving at the royal palace. Although it has not yet reached the palace, it is not far off. Alice had been to the castle of the lord of Dan Luer, compared to here, the castle of the lord of Dan Luer was like a home of nouveau riche who had opened a gold mine, and it was not comparable to this place in terms of size and taste.
The Mossan family is a generation of nobles in Gorusia, and it can be regarded as one of the few great nobles in Gorusia, so it is not surprising that they have such huge assets.
From walking into the connected buildings to coming to the living room where Caesar's most distinguished guests were received, it took more than ten minutes to walk.
This living room is not big, but it is cosy and comfortable to furnish and give a warm and intimate feeling. Two maids bring fragrant milk tea and snacks for guests and hosts to enjoy.
Caesar gasped for breath for a few moments before he evened out his breath. Just now, for the sake of politeness, he has been accompanying Alice here, otherwise he would normally have to sit on a chair and be carried here.
Caesar smiled: "Let the princess see and laugh, people are too fat, and they usually don't move, and they are tired like this after walking for a while." Princess, please drink it, this wheat milk tea is ground from the fine barley grown by the farmers in my manor, and the milk is also fresh mare's milk freshly squeezed out of the pasture, and every time I come here, I have to drink a big bowl, which is very fragrant. ”
“xiexie。 Alice took a sip, and it tasted good.
Caesar already had a general understanding of the situation of Alice and the Ice Evil Society here on the way, and he said, "I didn't expect that the princess had kidnapped you from the Demon Moon Emperor's capital, and now you have become such a master's apprentice. ”
"yes. Alice said: "My master is not a bad person, he is a good person, he always pretends not to care about me on the surface, but in fact, he cares about it in his heart." ”
Caesar said to Bingzhi again: "There are still teenagers on Shijie who can become a magician at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and I am so old, and I am only a red-robed archmage, your achievements in magic really make me admire." ”
Bing Zhi smiled evilly: "I'm just a child, but you are a famous alchemist in Shijie. This time, we came to Arrant for this year's alchemy competition. ”
Caesar said: "The alchemy competition will start in a few days, and the rules of the last few competitions are very large, and I believe there will be a wonderful competition." Since you're here to watch the alchemy competition, you've been staying with me. ”
Alice said, "Why is this embarrassing Uncle Caesar, won't bother?"
Caesar laughed and said, "No, no, there are only servants here except me, and I will always be bored, and the princess will come as a guest, which will make my manor lively." He asked again, "Mr. Bingzhi, you are a magician, do you also want to participate in this alchemy?"
Bing Zhiye shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm not very good at alchemy. I know a lot about the principle, but every time I refine it myself, I always can't refine it well. ”
Caesar laughed: "Alchemy is useless to know the principles and methods, it also requires experience. Only after truly experiencing that kind of subtle control of the elements can you refine haode things. ”
Bing Zhiye also wanted to ask this celebrity in the alchemy world for advice, and wanted to know a little more. But Alice on the side yawned and almost fell asleep on the table.
Caesar said, "The princess is going to sleep, let's talk again tomorrow, and I will ask the servant to take you to the room to rest." ”
"Oh, then see Uncle Caesar tomorrow. As soon as Alice heard that she could sleep, she immediately stood up, yawned again, and her eyes could hardly be opened.
Caesar called the maid and said, "Find two comfortable rooms and take Her Royal Highness and her master to rest." ”
"Two rooms?" Alice shook her head in a daze, "No, no, no, I sleep with the master, not two rooms." As she spoke, she leaned on Bingzhixie's body and fell asleep.
Caesar was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Oh, let's have a room, help the princess to rest." ”
A couple of maids hurriedly came up and helped Alice away.
