Chapter 20: Rest and Audience

　　 The house Bella won for Ai Luo is the simplest kind in the upper town.
　　Because Bella is only a princess, not a king, and the power of the Falkenrich family is also being weakened day by day. Under the operation of all parties, it is not easy to win a house in the upper city.
　　 And even the worst residence in the upper city, in the eyes of Rhodes and others, it can be regarded as an out-and-out mansion.
　　The house that appeared in front of the four masters and servants has obviously existed for some years. It is said that it was built during the heyday of Falkenridge, and it has been renovated many times.
　　 Although it looks a bit old, it doesn't look shabby. Its former owner-a viscount-regarded it as a hidden golden house in the future, and has always instructed servants to clean and manage the empty house.
　　 This house is divided into three floors. The first floor is the hall, the reception room and the kitchen. The upper floors are all single rooms except for the large bedrooms specially prepared for the master. There is a special wine cellar and storage room on the ground floor. All in all, compared to the luxury villas that most nobles lived in, Ai Luo felt more like a hotel.
　　 But Ai Luo doesn't have to live in a luxury villa, he already has Earl William's castle. Although most of that castle is unusable now, I can imagine what a gorgeous residence it will be when it is repaired.
　　 Take a step back and say that Ai Luo prefers to keep the dragon form to move. Obviously, the villas pursued by human nobles are not suitable for dragons...
　　 In addition, there is a yard outside the house, which is also not big, only a large lawn and a small garden.
　　 "This is Shangcheng District. This is my first time here."
　　 Noyce took a deep breath. Although he had lived in Barrington before, he was a resident of Down Town. The boundary between the upper and lower cities of Barrington is quite clear, just like its huge gap between rich and poor. Along the way, the prosperity of the Shangcheng District opened his eyes.
　　 "My lord's vision is really great, but I think this house is much better than the mansions next to it!"
　　 Rhodes sent compliments in a timely manner. In addition to magic, this goblin obviously also studied flattery.
　　 And Carlyle also looked around for a week, and said sincerely: "It looks very clean, is there anyone cleaning it?"
　　 "Yes, the former owner of the house was very dedicated." Ai Luo motioned to the three of them to enter the house, "but the servants have already withdrawn, and it will take a lot of effort to maintain it."
　　 Strictly speaking, Ai Luo's attitude towards the three entourages is a bit too lenient. If you switch to the Black Dragon Brothers or Karamunk, you might eat the servants as snacks on a whim, at least it is impossible to allow them to behave like this.
　　 Ai Luo is naturally not planning to engage in a farce of equality for all, nor is he trying to create an image of a benevolent master to buy people's hearts, purely because-he doesn't bother to care about such details.
　　 Anyway, for him, accepting these two new servants is considered a casual chess arrangement. His main goal is still the Icourt Valley, not Barrington. As long as it wasn't intentional or obvious offense, he didn't bother to care about it.
　　 And Rhodes knows his own master. At first, he wanted to remind the two newcomers not to be too presumptuous in front of a dragon. However, after vaguely aware of Ai Luo's intentions, he also let go of his airs, and soon became one with the two.
　　 The three servants are quite complementary. Rhodes is lively and active, Noyce has a strong affection, and Carlyle is calm and calm. At this time, a seemingly good atmosphere has been formed.
　　During the tidying up of the four masters and servants, the sky soon turned dark.
　　 The night in the capital city is not much different from that in the Icote Valley. The same bright moon is in the sky, the same stars are dotted, and the same tranquility.
　　 But the difference is that in this watery night, I don’t know how much evil is emerging, how much fear is spreading, and how much life is dying.
　　Barrington, Falkenridge's most famous sin city.
　　 Ai Luo simply cleaned up his bedroom, and then sat on the bed to meditate for a while. It was estimated that all three of them had finished cleaning up before they got up and came to the lobby on the first floor.
　　 As Ailuo had expected, Rhodes was simply a topic center, and the absence of a meeting stirred up the atmosphere again. He didn't know what he said, causing Noyce to laugh, but Carlyle looked embarrassed.
　　 "Oh, great master, forgive my gaffe!"
　　 Seeing Ai Luo quietly appearing at the door, the three of them quickly reduced their smiles, and Rhodes handed over a letter respectfully, "Her Royal Highness sent it just now."
　　 Ai Luo nodded and scanned it quickly. The main point of the letter was that Bella had known that they had arrived in the royal capital and had arranged for him to meet with the king early in the morning and accept the title of nobility and territory.
　　 In addition, Bella also mentioned some necessary information when meeting the king.
　　 It seems to be a little worried that Ai Luo, as a dragon, does not understand human court etiquette, Bella specifically wrote some more notes at the end of the letter-of course Ai Luo didn't even look at it.
　　 Don’t underestimate the inheritance memory of the dragon clan, the amount of knowledge in it is definitely not less than that of a large library, but most dragons don’t bother to learn the
weak things
of court etiquette.
　　 "Letter from the princess," Ai Luo raised the letter in his hands to the three servants, "Tomorrow morning I am going to see the king and accept what belongs to me, and you will also go together."
　　 "We also want to...?"
　　 Noyce didn't react for a while. In his understanding, entering the palace had nothing to do with him. Rhodes obviously couldn't keep up with Ailuo's thoughts. Even though Rhodes had been a servant of the dragon for a month, he still couldn't fully adapt.
　　 "The adults should have their own considerations." Carlyle still had a calm expression, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. Naturally, Ai Luo couldn't let them join in. However, please contact the situation of Ai Luo alone, and the current state of the three of them...
　　 Carlyle realized that his new master was about to establish his own power.
　　 "Yes, so rest early after the meal and don't make any mistakes tomorrow."
　　 "Dining?"
　　 Rhodes' eyes lit up first, and then he was discouraged: "My master, dinner won't be dry food again..."
　　 This is not to blame him, he rode all the way, the food was standard dry food seized from the flame team, and he no longer wanted to eat.
　　 "Some food is good, little goblin." Noyce shrugged, "You should really see what Carlyle and I ate before."
　　 Ai Luo smiled, and interrupted Rhodes who was eager to refute: "Who said that we should continue to eat dry food?"
　　 He quickly communicated the contract, and the five belief points instantly turned into a sumptuous meal, which filled almost the entire table.
　　 "Thank you Master, you are so generous!"
Regardless of the two new servants with their eyes wide open, Rhodes has become accustomed to the amazing actions his master often makes. He has long been hungry so that his chest is pressed against his back. Now that he sees the deliciousness of the table, how can he bear it? Got it, sit down and start feasting.
　　 Noyce and Carlyle glanced at each other, and now they feel that following this master is indeed a wise choice.
　　 The next morning, after breakfast, Ai Luo took three servants to the palace.
　　 This huge group of palaces is the center of the royal capital. Generally speaking, it is the residence of the king, but in fact the palace covers a very wide range and is mainly divided into interior and exterior.
The interior is of course the king’s palace. It is protected by Falkenridge’s most elite guards in three layers and three layers outside. It is the most heavily guarded place in the royal capital. It is also the only place in this declining kingdom. Strong place.
　　 The outside of the palace is a mixed place. It is not only the office of most officials, but also the residence of some generals stationed in the capital. Although the defense is not as strict as the palace, the number of incursions in history is still very few.
　　 At this moment, Ai Luo is in the palace.
Inside the empty hall, there are walls made of marble everywhere, and on the smooth gilded floor, a few tall stone pillars are laid out in the hall, proudly, as if supporting the entire sky, and making people feel like it. Illusion is also true.
　　 On the stone steps covered with the big red carpet, there is a wide throne made of gold, and the handrails are also carved with exquisite sword and shield patterns. This is the flag of the Kingdom of Falkenridge, symbolizing conquest and protection.
　　The middle-aged man in his forties sitting on the throne, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com is King Gerrard XV.
　　 "Are you Viscount Ai Luo? Thanks to you for saving my daughter, I am so grateful. I decided to reward you with ten boxes of gold bars and... well, the name of the earl, what do you think?"
　　 subconsciously glanced at the three great nobles on both sides of the line, and confirmed that they had no intention of opposing, the king said with dignity.
　　As a dragon, Ailuo certainly couldn't come into contact with human society before that, and he became a viscount—this is the saying that Bella had agreed with him earlier.
　　 According to Bella, she accepted a very difficult task after joining the Flame Squad. As a result, she encountered unprecedented danger and all her teammates were killed. At the critical moment, Ailuo, a descendant of the fallen aristocrat, appeared in time and saved himself.
　　 As for the status of the Viscount?
　　 Although the Gerrard family is becoming weaker day by day, Bella, as a princess with scheming and tactics, is not too difficult to fabricate the identity of a little nobleman. Moreover, since the three nobles of the Falkenrich Kingdom took control of the government, too many nobles have been suppressed by their joint efforts. A viscount will not get any attention at all.
　　 "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. The minister just did what he deserved."
　　 Ai Luo half-kneeled on top of the hall, speaking in a flat but respectful tone.
　　 Bella, who was standing next to the king, looked at Ai Luo's performance, secretly surprised. Although both Ai Luo and his three servants had met the king for the first time, compared with the particularly restrained Rhodes, Ai Luo was like a real nobleman.
　　 If she hadn't seen the black horrible dragon shadow that night with her own eyes, she would almost think that Ai Luo was really the fallen nobleman she said.
　　 Just... If she knew what Ai Luo was thinking at the moment, I'm afraid she would immediately reveal the other party's true identity.
