Chapter 4: Rose Manor (Part II)

Follow Christine as she approaches the Rose Manor, and the first thing you see is the verdant hillside.

The rose manor, located on the hillside, is divided into three main parts, the outermost edge is the manor territory, which is planted with a large number of flowers and trees. In order to please his beautiful wife, Earl Weston spared no expense to build a manor beautifully, and the flowers of the entire manor were almost all blooming for Christine alone.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Earl Weston was able to successfully pursue Christine from the pursuit of so many nobles, he is indeed a seed of infatuation.

After the death of the Earl of Weston, the shrewd Christine took care of the flowers and plants, and under her management, the Weston family gradually became one of the largest suppliers of flowers to Winlington, and only after that, Christine began to try to grow magic plants and enter the alchemy market.

The small hillside of the Rose Manor is now planted with a large number of alchemy magic plants. If the seeds possessed by Xiu Yi are the rarest and most difficult to cultivate in the world, then the cultivation of magic plants here is mainly based on mass production, which is the main component of the existing alchemy material market. If you want to use an analogy, then Huyglier has abalone bird's nest in his hand, and rice is grown here. Although the former is more expensive than gold, the latter is equally indispensable.

The second part of the Rose Estate is the main courtyard.

The whole main courtyard consists of a large house covering an area of about 500 square meters, a three-story pavilion-style building, with fifty bedrooms, four large living rooms, and a large open-air lawn.

On the other side of the main courtyard there is a separate building called the annex. Christine's little brother-in-law, Earl Karen Weston, lived here, and constituted a relatively separate world there, becoming the third component of Rose Manor.

As for the backyard where Xiuyi and the others were about to live, it was actually a few inconspicuous small houses in a remote corner of the manor for the people to live in. After the death of Earl Weston, a group of servants was disbanded and thus left empty.

Giving such a place to Huey and them to live in, it is no wonder that Christine is angry.

The convoy, led by the servants, was taken to the depot, where the best servants served the horses. Huey, Buckler, Lilith and the others followed Christine into the main courtyard of the Rose Manor.

Walking through the ornate lobby and through the inner corridors adorned with paintings, the finest sconces and carvings, Christine led them to a conference room.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out that there were already people waiting for Christine here.

"Oh, my dear Christine, you are back at last. "A man with a mustache like Kevin Beers walked up. The vast majority of adults in the Reims Empire liked to have a mustache, which they considered a mark of handsomeness. A man without a beard is a boy who is not fully developed.

Of course, there are also those who have too much beard, such as the second waiting guest, a man of short stature who has a full beard that almost covers his entire face.

A dwarf?

Huey looked straight in the eye.

In this predominantly human country, people can rarely see such beings as dwarves and elves anymore. Most of them live in hidden corners of the world, living in isolation.

What Huey didn't expect was that he would see a dwarf in Christine's house.

There were three men waiting in the living room, and in addition to the bearded man and the dwarf from before, there was also a big fat man, who sat almost embedded himself in the chair.

At this moment, the previous mustachioed man and Christine hugged each other warmly, and Christine smiled enthusiastically: "Oh, Hambleun, I haven't seen you in a few days." ”

"I've said it many times, call me Kensey, and if you call me Hamblon again, I'll call you Mrs. Weston. The mustachioed man made a disgruntled look.

"Well, I apologize, Kensey. Christine turned her face and gave her a soft kiss on her left cheek, then turned to the dwarf: "Oh, Malloy, long time no see, you look taller again." ”

The dwarf touched his beard: "My little sweetheart Christine, you are really good at talking, I am already sixty years old, it is impossible to grow taller anymore, and we dwarves are already very tall when they reach my head." ”

He was about the size of Christine's chest.

Christine bent down and let the dwarf Malloy kiss her on the right cheek, and then came to the big fat man who was sitting: "Oh, don't get up, Bean, we're all old friends. ”

Christine gave each other a hug.

"I'm here to give you an acceptance. Christine beckoned to Huey, "Heir to the Dardanelles, Siser Dardanelle, a good friend I met in Royo City. We signed a big deal in Royo City, and now the Dardanelles are officially partners of the Weston family. ”

"Nice to meet you. The bearded man from earlier gave Huey a gentlemanly salute, and Huey politely returned the bow.

Christine introduced Huey: "Viscount Kency Hambullon, my good friend, heir to the Hambrunn family, oh, he is one of the few men who does not intend to pursue me, but only maintains a simple friendship with me. ”

"Malloy, Master Smelter of the San Marino Comptoir. We all know that the San Marino Comptoir, one of the three major trading houses of the Empire, was mainly engaged in the business of smelting large quantities of ores, and no one was more skilled in this area than the dwarves. It took a lot of money for the merchant to bring the master out, and almost all of the empire's well-textured weapons came from the master's hands. The maestro's favorite drink is the green wines from the Rose Estate, which I have with the best winemakers, so we became good friends. If you want to ask him to make you a good weapon, then you can find him either in San Marino or in my cellar. Oh, speaking of the cellar, Malloy, I hope you didn't drink all my wine in my absence. ”

The dwarf shook his head affirmatively: "I haven't drunk it all, but it's almost gone." ”

Christine slapped her forehead: "Oh my God, it's rare that I didn't express anger about this. ”

She grabbed Huey's hand and walked to the big fat man: "Count Bean Aitken, my husband's best friend, in the years when my husband died, it was thanks to his help that I was able to survive until now. ”

Bian Aitken struggled to move his body: "Now without me, your business can run smoothly, Christine, you are a genius." If I weren't that fat, I swear I'd go after you. Not because of your beauty, but because of your intelligence. ”

"Love has nothing to do with looks, you don't have to be ashamed of yourself, I love you, Bean, as a sister loves you as a brother does. Christine gave Bean a kiss.

Then she turned to look at Xiuyi, "The three you see now are the only three people who have no intentions for me. They may be the only ones in the world who reassure me. They are the only ones who are qualified to sit in my living room and wait for me before I return. ”

Christine's words were quite cleverly spoken, and the three men, including Viscount Hambright, were deeply touched at the same time.

Viscount Hamblon took a step forward: "I'm glad that Christine can give me such a high evaluation, but when it comes to the name of Siseda Daniel, I am very familiar with it. Christine, is he the legendary boy of the family who entered your bedroom?"

Christine put her hand on Hamblun's shoulder: "Kensey, he didn't enter my bedroom, but into my heart. ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time stared blankly at the teenager, who was obviously several years younger than Christine.

Even Xiu Yi was stunned, and for some reason, at that moment he felt that Christine was speaking in a sincere tone, as if she was not exactly playful.

In the meeting room, Huey and Buckler and the others knew each other with Viscount Hambrand, with Christine as the intermediary, and they soon became familiar with each other.

After learning that the Dardanelles family would be temporarily settled in the Rose Manor, the big fat man Byan Aitken frowned. With some difficulty, he turned to Christine and said, "When you tell me that this young man has walked into your heart, I already understand your feelings for him. I can fully understand why you made such a decision, but I would like to warn you that such a decision could cause huge problems for you, as well as your friends. ”

Then he looked at Xiui: "Master Dardanelle, I'm not a person who likes to speak ill of people behind my back, I watched Christine marry into the Weston family, and she hasn't had an easy time these years." There are too many people fighting her ideas, her beauty, her possessions, and there will always be enough greedy villains. The reason why she has been able to get to where she is is not only because she is smart, but also because she has never officially disclosed her feelings. There are always those who think they have a chance, and at the same time they bring protection to Christine, so there is a delicate balance. But your presence, Master Dardanelle, has completely upset the balance. If you plan to make your relationship with Christine public, the consequence is that many people will come to you and her trouble. So, I hope that the Dardanelles will think carefully about their decision, and if you can, you'd better stay here for only one night and find a new home right away. ”

The big fat man is stupid and smart.

Just think about the aristocratic sons who have offered bounties all over the world to capture Huyglaire in order to pursue Christine, and once they know that the young master of a certain nouveau riche family has become Christine's man, then it is conceivable that all the pursuits will take the initiative to change direction.

Siseddar Daniel will be the target of public criticism, and the trouble will be endless.

If this is a provocation by ordinary people, then Xiu Yi can ignore it, and he will not care what others do to him. But these words came from the mouth of a man who cared about Christine, and he could not afford not to take them seriously.

For Xiui, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is the enemy, and he must be cruel, ruthless, and ruthless to the enemy. One is a friend, who should be warm, considerate and caring for a friend. Bian Aitken may not be a friend yet, but he may be someone who will be friends in the future, so Huey can only nod: "You're right, maybe it's time for the Dardanelles to reconsider." ”

"Huey. Christine snorted softly.

Hue stopped her: "The Dardanelles didn't come to Winlington just to enjoy the mountains and rivers, in fact, to settle down and take root. There will not be a family in this world, not even a place of their own. If the Dardanelles are to have a place in Winrington, they must find a permanent home for themselves...... If handled properly, it can even bring us unexpected benefits. ”

In just a few seconds, Xiu Yi already had a small plan.

He looked at Bean Aitken, "I don't know what empty houses are for sale in Winlington, maybe Mr. Aitken can give us some news." ”

The fat man was thinking about it, and suddenly a loud voice came from outside:

"Why did the Weston family guests want to move out as soon as they moved in? ”

———————————

Outside the living room, a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty walked in, he had a slender horse face, eagle-like eyes, and looked at people with an aggressive feeling.

When he walked in, his steps were very large, extremely fast, and before the sound fell, the man was already standing in the hall.

Judging from this momentum alone, Huey had already guessed the identity of the person who came, Earl Karen Weston, the main goal of his trip.

Behind Count Karen Weston, there was also a samurai in armor, who stood in the hallway outside the hall, far away from the meeting room, but for some reason, Huey had a feeling. The armored warrior could reach any corner of this living room with just a lift of his legs.

Unlike all the samurai Xiu Yi had ever seen, Xiu Yi did not feel any powerful aura from the other party, he looked like a puppet puppet, cold and lifeless, but from this samurai's body, Xiu Yi felt a chill of death.

It reminded him of the sword-wielding samurai of the House of Etter.

If you compare these two samurai, then the samurai of the Ette family is like the rising sun, every move is full of power, and the samurai in front of him, if he is not careful, he will feel that he does not exist.

However, Xiui would rather face the mysterious and powerful sword-wielding samurai than face this man.

That made him feel intensely uncomfortable.

"Karen, why are you here?" Chrissy quickly stood up when she heard Karen Weston entering. Her face was very unsightly, because she noticed that when Karen Weston came in, no one had informed her.

"The mistress of the Rose Manor is back, and of course I want to come and see you. I'm sorry, but I was busy with work just now and couldn't be there in time to greet me. Karen Weston saluted Christine.

"Shouldn't I be honored to have you taken a break from those alchemical experiments? Christine said in a cold tone.

Alchemy experiment?Huey's heart skipped a beat.

It turns out that Weston is actually an alchemist!

Damn, Christine hadn't told herself that before.

He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Originally, in his opinion, what Christine needed him to deal with was just an insignificant noble earl, but now it seems that this count is not simple.

This Earl of Karen Weston has at least one inscrutable but absolutely difficult personal warrior to deal with, he is an alchemist himself, and he may have more force at his disposal, which is probably why Christine can't do anything about him.

In addition, Huey even found a hint of magic fluctuations in the count's body.

This is not unusual, every alchemist will learn some magic relatively, but the ability may not be strong, but the consequence of this is that this count is not easy to deal with. If combined with the samurai behind him, he would probably be much stronger than a sky samurai.

From this point of view, Christine is indeed in great danger, and before Hue appears, I am afraid that it is not what Christine wants to do with her brother-in-law, but what this Weston Earl intends to do with his beautiful sister-in-law.

No wonder Christine is willing to take such a big risk to help herself in exchange for her own help, and it is clear that Christine has indeed reached a precarious point. What is rare is that she has always behaved calmly and calmly over the years, pursuing the man beside her like the sand of the Ganges, and this woman has behaved calmly enough.

Yes, maybe that's why Earl Weston didn't dare to attack her, just as Christine didn't want Karen Weston to die unnaturally, and Karen Weston didn't dare to let her die unnaturally in the face of Christine, who had enough suitors.

Xiuyi, who had figured out a lot of things at once, looked at the eyes of this Earl Weston, and it was also very profound.

So how should I deal with this Earl of Weston? The opponent is much more difficult to deal with than I expected.

At this time, Earl Weston was still chatting with Christine, and had met several Dardanelles guests in a friendly manner.

When Hue was introduced, Earl Weston's eyes lit up with excitement: "I have long heard that the heir of the Dardanelles, who is also a wizard of alchemy, has invented a very good scout bee. It just so happens that I've always had a soft spot for alchemy, so maybe we can sit down and have a glass of wine and have a good conversation. A common language is the foundation of friendship, and maybe we can be good friends. ”

Huey replied: "I'm looking forward to talking to you, but I'm only good at making small things. ”

"That's for the best. Oh yes, I have to apologize for interrupting you just now. Why are the Dardanelles in a hurry to buy a house just after they moved in?

"Absolutely not, Lord Earl, but there is no family in the world that will always be a guest in someone else's house. ”

"That's right. Earl Weston touched his chin, and then he said, "As for the question of dwelling, I have a good introduction, which is beautiful and large enough, and though it is a little dilapidated, it can be refreshed with a little rest." The important thing is that the price of the place is also very cheap. ”

As soon as he said this, including Viscount Hambrand, Malloy, and the big fat man Aitken, their faces changed at the same time, and Christine exclaimed: "Oh no, you don't mean ...... That place, right?"

Earl Weston shrugged his shoulders: "That's right, it's the Fog Hidden Castle, what could be more suitable than there?"
