On the basis of the upper middle class, their rooms also had washing rooms, flower rooms, tea rooms, musical instrument rooms, fencing rooms, and so on.

In the washing room, there will be professional washing maids to help the wealthy wash all kinds of expensive clothes.

As for the flower room, tea room, musical instrument room, fencing room, etc., it is a place for them to improve their self-cultivation and cultivate fun.

If there are children in the family, they will hire a variety of teachers to attend classes on time, and when the children are older, they will be sent to private schools with high tuition fees for systematic learning.

Here, with the exception of the aristocracy, who were able to inherit land and property, ordinary workers usually did not have their own housing.

As a result, middle-class families in most cities and towns have rented houses for three, five, or seven years.

The roads in the northern district are also dominated by private carriages, and there are few routes for public carriages, after all, it would be a shame for the nobles living here not to have their own private carriages.

Coming here, Chris obviously felt that Bert was a little sad, looking at Chris's caring eyes, Bert smiled and said:

"I'm fine, just remembering some things from my childhood. ”

Chris patted Bert on the shoulder, yes, although he is a dilapidated little nobleman, he and Bonnie grew up here, probably remembering his father.

Fortunately, Bert's former home was in the North End, so they didn't get lost, and not long after getting off the public carriage, Bert took Chris to the main street where the City Lord's Mansion was located.

"It's magnificent. Chris sighed as he looked at the European-style houses on the street.

The most conspicuous of these is the Lord's House, the office and residence of the Earl of Wellington.

As one of the largest nobles in Federenburg and the ruler of the city, the lord's Earl's palace is more like a small castle.

There were two young soldiers in armor standing at the gate, and Chris had heard Cole mention that his eldest brother Ryan, whom he had never met, was one of these guards during his lifetime.

Chris and Bert, dressed in black suits and low-topped caps, strode up to one of the guards at the door, and the corners of Chris's mouth twitched, and he smiled:

"Hello, my name is Chris, please help us get the word out to Mr. Benson, that we are friends with Mr. Zach Hand, and that we have something to do with him today. ”

Hearing that he had come to find Captain Benson, the guard in armor looked the two of them up and down a few times, nodded and said:

"Then you wait here for a few minutes, and I'll report to the captain. With that, the guard walked in through the gate.

After a few minutes, the guard walked in with a middle-aged man in his forties.

The middle-aged man was ordinary-looking, with short brown hair and a somewhat thin hair at the top, and unlike the guards, he was dressed in a well-made knight's outfit.

The middle-aged man walked up to Chris and the others, looked at them a few times, and asked:

"I'm Benson, I heard you're looking for Zack?"

"Yes, sir. Bert looked up at Benson, took off his hat and nodded.

Looking at the aristocratic temperament of the young man in front of him, as well as the followers behind him, Benson nodded and said:

"Then come in with me. ”

With that, Benson led Chris and Bert into the Earl's Court.

Behind Benson, Chris and Bert were greeted by a wide courtyard and a three-story square building.

In the huge courtyard, there are all kinds of precious flowers and plants, most of which Chris has never seen before, but there is one flower that Chris recognizes, which is the tulip of the name of their "punisher" base camp.

The square building is made of stone of different textures in layers, each floor is decorated with horizontal multi-layered line corners, and the top is crowned with a heavy cornice with a small amount of carving. All the windows of the house are neatly arranged, with stone frames at the edges, and the tops are decorated with triangular or semicircular mountain flowers.

As for the hall on the first floor, it is a large rectangular room with a high roof, dark wainscoting at the bottom, plastered at the top, dark wood wainscoting at the bottom, and a cylindrical vault carved with simple checkered ornamentation.

Just from the outside, the whole hall looks solemn and not luxurious.

Looking at Chris's curious eyes, Benson kindly explained:

"The front yard here is also the office center of the City Lord's Mansion, where our Lord of the City, the Honorable Earl of Wellington, usually deals with administrative or judicial matters. ”

Chris knew that there were two administrative centers in the city of Federenburg, one was the Lord's Mansion in the North District, and the other was the administrative hall in the Eastern District.

The two belong to the relationship of balance and constraint, representing the old aristocratic forces and the emerging democratic parties respectively.

In front of the door of the hall, there were also two young soldiers in armor.

Benson led the two men through the large fine garden to avoid the main entrance hall, and through a side path, to a large room where the soldiers rested, which seemed to have a kitchen and dressing room.

There were only a few soldiers sitting here drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw the captain of the guard, Benson, come in, they all stood up and greeted each other, and then sat down separately.

"Mr. Hand here?" asked Bert, who had entered the lounge, looking at Benson.

"No, he's not part of the guards, you guys wait here for a while. ”

So saying, Benson took out a box of special matches from his pocket, lit the kerosene lamp on the table, and after signaling to the two, he sat down in his chair and waited quietly.

After watching Benson's series of actions, although Chris and Bert didn't understand the meaning, they didn't ask out loud, in this majestic city lord's mansion, it was better to speak less and be cautious.

A few minutes later, Chris and Bert, who were sitting in their chairs, saw Zach in a gray shirt walk in.

After Zach greeted Benson, he smiled and looked at Chris and Bert who stood up:

"Chris, why are you here?"

"Mr. Hand, I have something I want to ask you about, so I'm here to trouble you. Chris replied with a smile.

This surprised Benson a little, after all, he thought that Zach knew another boy with a noble temperament.

Zach nodded, looked at the people around him, pointed outside, and said:

"Alright, let's go out and talk. ”

So Chris and the others followed Zach to a small red paint building not far away, looking at the layout of the surroundings, this is in the City Lord's Mansion, which should be considered a relatively remote place.

"Mr. Hand, we won't disturb your work. Chris asked, a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, because I'm not under the control of the guards and directly obey the orders of the castle lord, so I have more freedom in my work. Zach waved his hand and smiled.

Chris thought to himself, after all, he is an extraordinary person in Sequence 8, and his position here should not be low.

Zach smiled and introduced to Chris and Burt:

"That's where I rest. ”

Led the two to the door of a room on the second floor, Zach opened the door with a key, and when Chris and the two entered, they found that it was a separate suite, with a living room, bedroom, and bathroom.

Looking at the houses with all the necessary living conditions inside, Chris was surprised:

"You actually live in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Not really. Zach explained.

"The City Lord's Mansion has a front yard and a back yard. You should have seen it in the front yard, which is the administration building. The backyard is divided into several areas, the most important of which is naturally where the lord and his family live.

"As for this small building on the left, it is the place where the city lord provides rest for us extraordinary. The small building on the right is where the servants live.

"Because of a tragic incident here more than ten years ago, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion have been greatly strengthened, and the Earl of Wellington has specially made it for us extraordinary beings to live here. ”

Thinking that this small red-painted building was inhabited by extraordinary people, Chris asked with some shock:

"There are a lot of extraordinary people in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"It's not a lot, but there are seven or eight of them, most of them are wild and extraordinary people who have come here to work for the lord of the city in order to seek refuge and not want to enter the church. ”

After motioning for Chris and Bert to sit on the couch, Zach brewed three cups of Ceylon Highland black tea from the kitchen, and continued:

"The guards I mentioned just now are divided into Ming Wei and Dark Guards, and on the surface, these guards belong to Ming Wei, and Benson is the captain of Ming Wei.

"As for us extraordinary, we have been organized as secret guards to do some secret and difficult things for the city lord, as well as to find out the truth of some things. There is no captain of the secret guard, if you insist on saying it, then the city lord is the captain of this secret guard. ”

"That's what it looks like. Chris and Bert looked at each other, they didn't expect the power of the City Lord's Mansion to be so complicated.

Thinking of the last time he met Zack, he seemed to be tracking down Pol, so Chris looked at Zach and said:

"I heard from the general team that you wrote a letter to him about our battle with Pol, so do you know that Bol has ......?"

"Wait. Zach interrupted Chris, frowning, "You're talking about the team, Wardhouse?"

"yes. Chris didn't understand what Zach meant for a moment.

"I didn't write to him about that day. And although I met him the other day, I only asked about some other extraordinary people. ”

Out of caution about the city lord's assignment, Zach did not say that he had asked Wardhouse about the "gambler" that day.

This...... Wardhouse actually lied to him! Chris immediately understood that the team was lying to him that day.

Thinking of his cowardice in front of Wardhouse that day, Chris was very angry.

But thinking of the other party's evil smile and strong strength, Chris was a little frustrated, alas, there is no way, they are the general team.
