Chapter 57: Special Envoy of the Kingdom
There were more than 20 newcomers in the team, and the speed slowed down. Butler Kede and others were worried. At the time of the road in Xijiao Town, Donald summoned a second-level gargoyle during the evening break and ordered it to return to the Dark Night Manor with his letter to the Butler Kede, and informed him of the news of his return later.
This time the gargoyle was summoned forever. With more soul power in his hand, Donald didn't care about the consumption of these 100 units. Moreover, the gargoyle will be of great use in the future. I don't know if the two people in the family were demolished by the Chris Mage. After sending the letter, it will also be used as a defense of the manor.
Although the speed of the Gargoyle Blade is as fast as that of many horned eagles, it is also a very fast-flying army. It is the same speed as the human race's dragon eagle and griffin. It takes less than a day and a night to return to the manor from him. Moreover, as an alchemy creature, the Gargoyle basically does not make any mistakes in the spiritual commands of its owner, and has long-term endurance that other summoned creatures do not have. It is definitely the best messenger used by Donald to send messages.
The time to return to the manor was extended to five days after the newly won men was exhausted. It was still the speed of traveling day and night. Until the convoy arrived in front of the gate of the Dark Night Manor, the people in the carriage could no longer bear it.
However, these newcomers who were originally mountain people got off the car and were shocked when they saw the scene of the Dark Night Manor.
The magnificent villas, several square and flat farms and pastures, all the layouts appear so harmonious and perfect.
"Young Master, you are finally back!"
The butler Ke De excitedly led William and others out of the gate to greet him. This was the first time his young master had gone far away, and it was the battlefield for so long that he had been feeling during this period.
"Here I'm back! This time the kingdom has won, but I have established the highest battlefield. Our Melinna family can finally regain a fief!"
Butler Kede was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Donald looked around and did not find the Chris Mage who was invited by the teacher to protect the manor, so he hurriedly asked, "Cord, where is the Chris Mage?"
Kod calmed down and replied, "Master, Master Chris and two other masters learned that you were back, "Young Master, you can get home today, they are busy experimenting, so they have already returned to the club with their things early in the morning."
"It's really a mage style!"
Donald sighed, then stopped asking, and asked Cod to arrange the newcomers behind him.
Because he received a message from Donald in advance, Cod had already settled the housing issues for the newcomers. Looking at the brand new pine stone-based houses, the new servants led by Bane and Tik were very happy and moved.
The first impression of the manor shocked them. These border mountain villagers who had never seen even real aristocratic manors had only seen the residences of urban squires when they walked into the city to sell fur and mountain goods. Where did they ever see such a design as Donald that is far beyond the architectural layout of the world?
Not to mention the houses prepared by the owner for them, these houses are for some small nobles and gentry to live in, but they are actually for some places where their servants live?
Although Donald, the master, actually did not treat these people as servants, in the eyes of some of his pre-life concepts that still retained, those nanny cleaners and so on are just jobs and are not inferior to others in their legal status. Moreover, he has always believed in the meaning of the saying that if you want the horse to run well, you have to eat a full grass for the horse, so the treatment of servants in the family is more favorable than other nobles.
But in this world of strict hierarchy, these servants dare not overcome anything.
Although the servants hired cannot be disposed of at will like private slaves, the Kingdom Inquisition was set up to protect the rights and interests of the aristocratic class, among which torture was specially prepared for servants who did not work, cunning camps or even betrayed the master. Civilians do not have much say in this world.
Among this group of newcomers, several young and strong men, led by Barn and Tik, were arranged to be under the command of the attendant William to receive some etiquette training and prepare to act as a guard who protects his master when Donald travels.
Usually these people patrol and guard the safety of the manor with the members of the guards they recruited before.
As for their families, older women will be assigned to the kitchen and ranch to help, while younger girls will be temporarily assigned to Isabella, the wife of the maid William, for training, and will act as maids in the future. The rest of the male family will help on the farm.
In this way, everyone has wages to get as long as they work. Although there are fewer servants employed outside, the unconditional provision of food and accommodation is enough to make the mountain people who have lived in exile life feel grateful.
On the day Donald returned to the manor, the news that the envoy sent by the capital arrived at the Rock City was already informed by Sir Jesse in the city.
"The special envoy from the capital has been delayed for several days. I should have heard of my reward!"
Donald was not surprised when he heard this, and knew that this must be the envoy sent by the royal family to deal with the issue of reward. No matter what, his military achievements are always undestroyable.
So he gave the messenger who reported the news a reward of two silver months, and sent the other party back happily.
Compared to Donald's inattention, the first time he was lucky enough to welcome the envoy of the royal family, which made the Housekeeper Cod, who had been committed to restoring the honor and status of the Meliner family nobles, was very excited. This was not an honor that ordinary nobles could enjoy. He worked hard all night and prepared to welcome the envoy of the royal family with the greatest scene.
So early the next day, when the carriage of the royal envoy came to the manor gate, the dark night had already looked brand new, the gate and the European-style fences on both sides were decorated with rose branches, and the stone roads inside and outside the manor were also sprinkled with water and washed.
The car door opened, and from inside was a "mature and charming noble woman with elegant demeanor.
I didn't expect that this envoy would be a delicate woman.
The identity of this messenger surprised the greeting staff led by Donald.
It’s not that women cannot serve as officials, but that the people who represent the royal family have always been male aristocratic officials. Unless they are married, female royal members such as princesses will be represented.
Of course, this will not be absolute, so Donald and others did not feel any other problems with the appearance of this female noble envoy.
, "I was very honored that His Majesty the Revered King would send such a beautiful royal envoy. I am Donald Melinna, the owner of Dark Night Manor, welcome to North County!"
Although he was almost certain that he would receive a reward, Donald still welcomed the royal envoy with the best manners.
The female messenger smiled reservedly and returned the gift with the most perfect noble graceful posture.
, "My Cathersongze Tower, the Earl of the Palace, please call me Catherine! This is my first time to go to the capital, your manor is very bright, Master Melina! Can you take me to visit?"
, "Of course, this is my honor, please come with me!"
Donald bent down and greeted him, reaching out to invite him into.
The butler behind him, Ke De, had already prepared in the manor. As soon as he entered the door, he was straight and neat, Baishi Kuan Road, which led directly to the center of the manor, and a villa carefully designed and built by Donald.
During the period when Donald left home to participate in the war, the manor's villa had been basically completed under the supervision of the butler.
The palace Countess named Catherine was surprised and surprised when he saw the architectural style of the villa and the facilities in the manor that were almost rushing to the palace garden.
This is not a villa for the small country nobles. It is comparable to the most famous Zoro beachfront resort manor in mainland China!
Everything here is so harmonious and beautiful, gorgeous and simple,
Noble but not deserted, making people feel an extra sacred and comfortable smell.
Between the villa and the gate passage is a circular 〖玩〗〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗 〗
In the center of the pool is a legendary creature, rogue, which is very similar to the mermaid in Donald's previous life, and its appearance is basically consistent. The spring water is sprayed from the shells held by the Siren's chest and hands.
The semicircular water curtain splashes fine water mist in the pool. Under the sunlight, colorful rainbow lights flash from time to time, presenting the artificial scenery that has appeared in this world from the surface.
Seeing this scene, the countess covered his chest with fair skin with his hands and let out a delicate amazement.
, "This is..., so beautiful!"
While the Countess was amazed by the beautiful scene, Donald, as the master, watched the beautiful scenery on the Countess' chest.
It’s not that he is too lustful, but that it’s the first time he has been in this world for so long that he has seen such a beautiful "scenery". His 17-year-old body’s impulse and passion are not controlled by his 30-year-old soul, and he is involuntarily attracted by the mature opposite sex.
The Countess, who had been awake for a long time, did not notice Donald's strangeness at all. He grabbed his sleeve and asked anxiously: "Mr. Mage, what is this? Is it a magical building created by the mages?"
Donald couldn't help but smile and explained, "This thing is called a fountain pool, it's just an application of alchemy! You know that Master Messel from our North County is also my teacher who has a high level of attainment in alchemy." I learned a little bit of alchemy under my teacher a while ago, and I was still very immature." I could only make some fun things!"
Donald also had a lot of contact with the outside world, so he realized that there had never been artificial fountains in this world. When building a villa, he thought that in front of the villas and mansions in his previous life, there were usually one or two fountain statues and other beautiful buildings as landscape decorations. The traditional garden buildings in his country were indispensable, which represented the vitality of a building and could give the cold buildings vitality.
So he spent a few days studying and fiddling out a fountain. Because he couldn't find a suitable statue for a while, Donald paid 300 Kingsall and now he found a famous sculptor in the Stone City to design and carve one.
The fountain was built using the siphon principle of the previous life, combined with a little alchemy as auxiliary power, and established a water circulation system. Before Donald left, the overall facilities of the fountain pool were ready, and it was only possible to open up the power to make the fountain operate. With the news that the royal envoy was about to arrive, Donald spent some time to mobilize the fountain at night.
After hearing Donald's explanation, the countess praised: "Mr. Mage, you are too modest. If you move this beautiful building to the capital, it may be appreciated by well-known architects and artists in the mainland and become an invention that has been recorded in history!"
Donald smiled and did not answer. This fountain was also something from his previous life. He did not intend to take it out and attract too much attention from the outside world. It is better to leave the good things for himself to appreciate. Perhaps launching the fountain pool as a commodity he invented can earn a lot of money and reputation, but he is no longer short of reputation, and has several incomes from the Dark Night Manor. He, the baron, has basically the highest annual income in the entire North County nobles. What should he do if he wants so much money?
If the launch of the fountain pool can greatly improve his level of Lotus, then Donald will definitely do a big fight without any worries. After all, the strength of this world itself is the foundation.
With strong strength, power, status, money, etc., everything is within your reach without fear of outsiders' desire.
If you don’t have enough strength and expose too many secrets, it is definitely a dangerous act of seeking death!
After taking the royal messenger to visit the farm, ranch and other manor buildings, Donald led her into the guest room that the butler ordered.
Thinking that after he joined the war, the main body of the villa had just been completed, the interior decoration was carried out according to the previous design. He had not inspected all the facilities yet, and the other decorations in the villa were arranged by Butler Kede according to the style of ordinary aristocratic houses, and he did not know whether it was in line with his wishes.
Donald took advantage of the housekeeper and the servants preparing for the dinner and the countess was resting in the guest room to continue the inspection that was not completed yesterday.
Yesterday, the lighting system, water storage and domestic water systems were inspected. All lighting used pollution-free charging crystal lamps. Now the Merlina family is not short of those blank crystals. Especially the ceiling crystal lamps in the villa hall, Donald spent a huge amount of money to create a gorgeous ceiling crystal lamp group similar to the Western palace in his previous life, which contrasts the entire space as if it was a palace of gods.
As for the water storage and domestic water systems, Donald was also quite satisfied. In addition to the slightly insufficient water pressure and the lack of crystal water pipes, he could basically maintain the same effect as the tap water in his previous life.
Alchemists have ready-made artificial crystal formulas, which are used to make crystal bottles containing alchemy potions and various corrosion-resistant alchemy tools. However, the cost is high and cannot be used as a good energy carrier to refine magical tools like natural crystals.
After Donald took it, he slightly changed the forming method and made a crystal tube that transports water and a large piece of crystal glass half an inch thick. The alchemy crystal is naturally not as strong as the metal water pipe, but you can see the situation inside the water pipe. The metal smelting technology in this world really cannot reach that level, so Donald can only use a crystal tube that costs several silver-months of silver-months instead.
As for the shape of the crystal glass sheet, it is as transparent as nothing than that made in a developed factory in the past, but it is basically kept flat and transparent, and is inlaid with various windows of the villa. The sunlight can shine in it all day long. People inside can also enjoy the scenery outside the villa.
There are similar glass windows in this world, but they are all colorful crystal patches pasted in the windows like Western churches in the past. They are inlaid with gold and silver to highlight the mysterious and luxurious atmosphere, but they are not visible and transparent. How can they be as neat and bright as Donald's Villa like that has never been seen before?
Then Donald visited the kitchen facilities at the back of the villa. The table stove inside was made of smooth stone, which allowed all the cabinets to be clean. With the exhaust vents and flue designed by Donald, Ran was much less angry than before.
Because the climate in the north is relatively cold, Donald specially designed a geothermal system that people in the world do not understand while renovating the stove. Usually, there is a furious door in front of each stove, and the heat is directly discharged from the flue. When the weather is cold, the furrow door can be opened to warm the entire villa, as if in the sunny summer.
Finally, Donald inspected the outdoor swimming pool behind the villa, which was one of the facilities he paid the most attention to. You should know that if you wanted to live in such a luxury villa in your previous life, it also had a swimming pool, garden and other luxurious facilities. It was a dream that he could not realize.
If I don’t enjoy it well in this life, wouldn’t I be sorry for his current aristocratic status and traveling through time for nothing?
However, for a long time, the dinner prepared by the housekeeper was almost done, and a servant was sent to remind the host and the guests of the meal time.
The Countess, who felt novel in the guest room, reluctantly left her beautiful room. Not only did the manor villa attract her attention, but some delicious food she had never seen before grabbed her stomach.
After a bite, the Countess, who had originally planned to maintain the dining style, couldn't help but let go of his reserve. Although his movements were still so elegant, his eating speed was at least three times faster than Donald, who was the master. Not long after a dish came, she wiped out the dish. At this time, the owner's portion was not half finished, making the Countess who could only wait for the next dish to face the clean empty plate and blushed at a loss.
This was the first time this situation happened to her, which made Catherine secretly scold herself for being too reserved and greedy for words and forgetting her years of education for royal aristocraticism.
Fortunately, Donald's considerate butler did not wait for him and continued to give the guests food, which relieved the countess' embarrassment. Then she forgot the previous embarrassment and continued to devote herself to the food.
Chapter completed!
