Vol 4 Chapter 4: Rose Manor (middle)

Following Christine approaching the Rose Manor, the first thing I saw was the lush hillside.
The Rose Manor located on the hillside is mainly divided into three parts. The outermost edge is the manor land, which is planted with a large number of flowers and trees. In order to please his beautiful wife, Count Weston built a beautiful manor at the cost of work. Almost all the flowers in the manor bloom for Christine alone.
From this point of view, it is no wonder that Count Weston was able to successfully pursue Christine from the pursuit of so many nobles. He was indeed an infatuation seed.
After the death of Count Weston, savvy Christine managed these flowers and plants into business. Under her management, the Weston family gradually became one of the largest flower suppliers in Warrington. After that, Kristin Listing only started to try to plant magic plants and entered the alchemy material market.
The hillside of Rose Manor now has a large number of alchemy magic plants. If the seeds owned by Xiuyi are the rarest and most difficult to cultivate magic seeds in the world, then the cultivation of magic plants here is mainly based on mass and constitutes the main component of the existing alchemy material market. If you want to make an analogy, then Hugh Iglell has abalone and bird's nest, and rice is grown here. Although the former is more expensive than gold, the latter is also indispensable.
The second part of the Rose Manor is the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is composed 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 an open-air lawn.
There is a building on the other side of the main courtyard called the other courtyard. Christine's little uncle, Count Karen Weston lived here, where it formed a relative world and became the third component of the Rose Manor.
As for the backyard where Xiuyi is about to live, in fact, it was originally a small humble house located in a remote corner of the manor for the people. After the death of Count Weston, a group of servants were disbanded and left empty.
It was no wonder that Christine was getting angry when they gave this place to Xiuyi.
Led by the servants, the convoy was taken to the yard, where the best servants served the horses. Xiu, Buckler and Lilith followed Christine into the Rose Manor's main courtyard.
Passing through the magnificent lobby, walking through the interior corridors full of oil paintings, decorated with the most exquisite wall lamps and carvings, Christine took them to a conference living room.
What everyone expected was that someone was waiting for Christine.
"Oh, my dear Christine, you're finally back." A man with a mustache like Kevin Bears walked forward. The vast majority of adults in the Lance Empire love to have a moustache, which they consider to be a sign of handsomeness. A man without a beard is a boy who is not fully developed.
Of course, there are too many beards, such as the second waiting customer, a man with a short, full-faced beard that almost covers the entire face.
A dwarf
Xiu straightened his eyes.
In this country dominated by humans, people can no longer see existence like dwarves and elves. Most of them live in hidden corners of the world and live in isolation.
What Ling Xiu didn't expect was that he would see a dwarf in Christine's house.
There were three men waiting in the living room. In addition to the previous mustache man and the dwarf, there was also a big fat man, who almost embedded himself in a chair when he was sitting.
At this moment, the previous mustache man and Christine hugged passionately, and Christine smiled warmly: "Oh, Humble, I haven't seen you for some days."
"I've said it many times, call me Kensy. If you call me Humblen again, I'll call you Mrs. Weston." The mustache man made a look of dissatisfaction.
"Well, I apologize, Kensey." Christine turned her face, and the other side lightened her left cheek, then turned to the dwarf: "Oh, Malloy, long time no see, you look tall again Now. "
The dwarf had his own beard: "My Christine, sweetie, you can really speak. I am already sixty years old and cannot grow taller, and we dwarves have grown to my head. Taller."
He was almost right in front of slender Christine.
Kristin bent down and let the dwarf Malloy kiss her on the right cheek, then came to the sitting fat man: "Oh, don't get up, Bien, we are all old friends."
Christine gave each other a hug.
"Let me accept it for everyone." Christine waved to Xiuyi: "Heir of the Dardanelle family, Cissed Dardanelle, a good friend I met in Royo City. We are in Royo City A big deal was signed and the Dardanelles are now officially partners of the Weston family. "
"I'm glad to meet you." The previous mustache man saluted Xiu Yi as a gentleman, and Xiu bowed back politely.
Christine introduced to Xiuyi: "Viscount Kenxi Hambrun, my good friend, heir to the Hambrun family, oh, he is one of the few men who does not intend to pursue me but only maintains a pure friendship with me . "
"Maloy, the master of smelting in San Marino. We all know that San Marino, one of the three major empires in the Empire, is mainly engaged in the business of smelting large ore. No one is better in this respect than dwarves. The master invited the master out of the price. Almost all the fine-grained weapons of the empire came out of the master's hand. The master likes to drink the green wine produced by Rose Manor, which is made by the best winemaker I invited, so We have become good friends. If you want to ask him to build a good weapon for you, you can either find him in the San Marino firm or in my wine cellar. Oh, speaking of the wine cellar, Malloy, I hope You didn't drink all my wine in my days. "
The dwarf shook his head very surely: (More / New / Fast / Fast: / ｜ 1 ｜ 6 ｜｜ "No drink, but it's almost gone."
Christine patted her forehead: "Oh my God, it's rare that I didn't express anger at this."
She grabbed Xiuyi's hand and went to the fat man: "Earl Bean Aitken, my husband's best friend, I can only survive to this day thanks to his help, all thanks to my husband's death. "
Bion Aitken moved his body hard: "Without me now, your business can run smoothly, Christine, you are a genius. If I'm not that fat, I swear I will pursue you. Not because of your beauty, but because of your wisdom. "
"Love has nothing to do with appearance. You don't have to be embarrassed. I love you, Bien. I love you just like my sister to my elder brother." Christine gave Bien one.
Then she turned to look at Xiu Yi: "The three you see now are the only three people who have no intention of me. Maybe they are the only people in the world who are reassuring to me. Only they are qualified Sit in my living room and wait for me before I return. "
Kristin's words were quite clever, and the three men, including Viscount Humblen, were deeply moved at the same time.
Viscount Humblen took a step forward: "I'm glad Christine was able to give me such a high rating, but I'm quite familiar with the name Cissedane Danil. Christine, isn't it? Is he the legendary family boy who entered your bedroom? "
Christine put her hand on Humblen's shoulder: "Kensey, he didn't enter my bedroom, he entered my atrium."
The three heard a stunned sound, and at the same time stared blankly at this young man who was significantly younger than Christine.
Even Xiu was stunned, not knowing why. At that moment, he felt that Kristin said in a sincere tone when he said this, as if he wasn't totally acting.
In the parlor, Xiuy and Buckler and others met Viscount Hamblen, and with Christine as the middleman, they soon became familiar with each other.
After learning that the Dardanelle family will temporarily settle in Rose Manor, the fat man Bion Aitken frowned. He turned around with some effort and said to Christine, "When you told me that this boy walked into your atrium, I already understood your feelings for him. I can fully understand why you did this Decision, but I still want to remind you that such a decision may cause you and your friends great trouble. "
Then he looked at Xiuyi: "Master Dardaniel, I am not a person who likes to talk bad things behind my back. I watched Christine marry into the Weston family. She has not been through these years. Easy. Too many people are working on her ideas, her beauty, and her possessions will always attract enough greedy villains. She was able to go now, not only because she is smart, but also because she has never I have officially disclosed my feelings. Some people always think that they have the opportunity to protect her when they cause trouble to Christine, so they form a delicate balance. But your appearance , Master Dardanelle, you have completely broken this balance. If you intend to make the issue between you and Christine open, then the consequence is that many people will come to you and her trouble. So, I I hope that the Dardanelles will consider their decision carefully. If you can, you'd better stay here for one night and find a new home immediately. "
Big Fat Man Satoshi.
As long as you think about the noble sons who pay a lot of money to catch Christine in the world in pursuit of Christine, once you let them know that the master of a family of upstarts has become a Christine man, then you can imagine All pursuits will take the initiative to change direction.
Catherd Daniel will be the target of criticism, and the trouble will be endless.
If this is a general provocation, then Xiu Yi can ignore it and he won't care what other people do to him. But this comes from someone who cares about Christine, and he can't take it seriously.
To Xiuyi, there are only two kinds of people in this world. One is the enemy. They must be cruel, cold and ruthless to the enemy. One is friends. Be warm, considerate, and considerate to friends. Bien Aitken may not even be a friend, but it may be someone who will become a friend in the future, so Xiu can only nod: "You're right, maybe the Dardanelles should reconsider. "
"Xiu Yi." Christine cried softly.
Xiu stopped her: "The Dardanelles came to Warrington not only to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but in fact to settle down. There will be no family in this world, not even their own residence. "If the Dardanelles want a place in Winrington, they must find a permanent foothold for themselves ... if handled properly, they can even bring us unexpected benefits."
In just a few seconds, Xiu Yi already had a small plan.
He looked at Bion Aitken: "I don't know what an empty house is in Warrington? Maybe Mr Aitken can provide us with some information."
The fat man was thinking, and suddenly a loud voice came from outside:
"Why did the guests of the Weston family just move in and want to move out? If so, I will have a good introduction."
— Outside the living room, walk into a middle-aged man who looks forty or so. He has a long and thin horse face, hawkish eyes, and feels aggressive when looking at people.
When he walked in, he strode large, extremely fast, his voice had not fallen, and the man was already standing in the hall.
Judging from this momentum, Xiuyi has already guessed the identity of the incoming Count Karen Weston, the main goal of his trip.
Behind Count Karen Weston, there was a warrior in armor. He stood in the hallway outside the hall, far from the parlor, but I do n’t know why, Xiuyi had a feeling. The armored warrior can reach any corner of this living room by raising his leg.
Unlike all the samurai that Xiu had ever seen, Xiu did not feel any strong breath from the other person. He looked like a puppet and was cold and lifeless, but from this warrior, Xiu Yi felt a icy death.
This reminded him of the sword warrior of the Aet family.
If you compare the two samurai once, then the samurai of the Ete family is like the rising sun, and they are full of strength with every effort, and the warrior in front of him will be inattentive It feels like he doesn't exist.
But Xiuyi would rather face that mysterious and powerful sword warrior, nor would he face this person.
That made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Karen, why are you here?" Kris quickly heard Karen Weston's entry and stood up quickly. Her face was not good-looking, because when she found out that Karen Weston had come in, no one had notified her.
"The hostess of the Rose Manor is back. Of course I have to come and see you. I'm sorry, I was just busy with some work, and I couldn't come to meet you in time." Karen Weston saluted Christine.
"Should I be honored to get you out of those alchemy experiments," Kristin said coldly.
Alchemy experiment? Xiu Yi's heart beat.
It turned out that Cardon Weston turned out to be an alchemist!
Damn, Christine hadn't told herself this before.
He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy.
It seemed to him that Kristin needed him to deal with it, but it was only an insignificant noble count, but now it seems that the count is not simple.
The Count Karen Weston has at least one personal warrior that is difficult to measure, but definitely difficult to deal with. He is an alchemist himself. In addition, he may also have more force, and I am afraid that It's why Christine can't help him.
In addition, Xiu even found a trace of magic fluctuations in the count.
This is not uncommon, and every alchemist will learn some magic relatively, but his ability may not be strong, but the consequence is that the Earl is not easy to deal with. If matched with the samurai behind him, he is likely to be much stronger than a sky warrior.
From this point of view, Christine is indeed in great danger. Before Xiu Yi appeared, I was afraid it was not how Christine would treat her young uncle, but what the Count Weston planned to do. It's only right to dispose of your beautiful bitch.
No wonder Christine is willing to take such a great risk to help herself in exchange for her own help. Obviously, Christine has indeed reached a precarious moment. Rarely, she has always behaved calmly in these years, pursuing men around her like Gangesa Sands, this woman is calm enough.
Yes, maybe this is why Count Weston did not dare to attack her, just as Christine did not want Karen Weston to die abnormally. Christine, too, did not dare let her die abnormally. Sui Yi, who thought about many things at once, looked at the count of Weston, and his eyes became deeper.
So how do you deal with this Earl of Weston? Opponents are much harder to deal with than they thought.
At this time, Count Weston was still chatting with Christine, and had kindly met several guests from the Dardanelle family.
When introduced to Xiu Yi, Earl Weston's eyes glowed with excitement: "I've heard long ago that the heir of the Dardanelles, who is also an alchemist, invented a very good scout bee. It just so happens that I have a passion for alchemy. Maybe we can sit down for a drink and have a good chat. A common language is the basis of friendship, and maybe we can be good friends. "
Xiu Yili: "I look forward to communicating with you, but I am only good at making small things that are not important."
"That would be the best. Oh yes, I have to apologize for the interruption in your speech. Why was the Dardanelle family anxious to buy a house as soon as they moved in? Do you think I have arranged something else for you The hospital is not good enough? "
"There is absolutely no such idea, Lord Earl, but no family in the world will always be a guest at someone else's house."
"Even so." Count Weston put his chin on, then he said, "When it comes to the issue of residence, I have a good introduction there, the scenery is beautiful, the place is large enough, although it is a bit run-down, but only a little rest , It will be completely new. The important thing is that the price in that place is also very cheap. "
He said this, including Viscount Hamblen, Malloy and Fatty Aitken at the same time, and Christine exclaimed: "Oh no, you don't mean ... that place. ? "
Count Weston shrugged: "Yes, it's the Hidden Castle, what could be more suitable there?" ~!
