I once thought that the property I purchased in the holy city of Estali was larger than my needs. There are only a few kittens living in such a big house, so cleaning it will be difficult.
But Lin never thought that living in such a big house would one day feel crowded.
The current members of the family include Fen, a lich, three apprentices, Harumi, Kaya, and Leonardo, four silver-bearded dwarves including Jermaine, one follower, Uzov Gantia, and August. They all have a black dragon, Vana is a maid, Ezio and Kish are two fat boys, Hadi, Lily, Nini, and Bu Feng are four demon cats, and the white swordsman William Greco and the demon prince Azad There are three diners, the dark elf Maier, a slave (!?), a housewife Marquis, and nine servants and a housekeeper sent by the Grand Duke to serve his granddaughter.
So, there are a total of twenty-eight people and four cats... Hey, who is missing?
In short, the house can’t be packed anymore!
Looking at the ten men and women standing behind Grand Duke Kawei with a collapsed expression, Lin really wanted to drive away these ten people, including his granddaughter. It would be best if this old man were even listed as a refused visitor and not allowed to enter this home.
"Don't refuse in a hurry." Kawei Gong said with a shy face: "I know you want your children to learn to take care of their own life, and you have good intentions. When I went out to march and fight, how could there be such a comfortable environment? , and groups of servants serving. It’s not that everything is kept simple, and how to overcome difficulties is how to do it. But the child has never done these things since he was a child, and he makes a mess everywhere, which is really disturbing. "
This is even more frustrating. Forget about a Marquise who was dedicated to helping, plus two big fat boys who thought it was fun, so they 'helped' together. In the past few days, the whole family felt like it had been ravaged by a king-level monster.
The destruction done by Demon Prince Azad before was never so complete! So someone's determination to let the children work was shaken. Some people are just no medicine.
Seeing that a certain magician's expression relaxed, Kawei Gong was afraid that the man in front of him would refuse forcefully, so he added more emphasis: "And these people are not brought here specifically to serve my granddaughter. Look, you are so big Only one woman was invited to help in a room, and most of it had to be handled by your apprentice. Among those famous and wealthy magicians outside, there is not a family full of servants. You kid can make money, Even if you don’t seek a luxurious life, you can make it easier for yourself and the people around you. What’s wrong with that? I know you love to do research. Don’t the people around you love to spend more time and improve themselves? In terms of skills. Leave those bits and pieces of trivial matters to specialized people. You only need to pay them and everyone can get what they need. There is nothing wrong with that."
The waiters who originally held their heads high and proudly lowered their heads quietly when they heard the Grand Duke's tone. If he was only responsible for the daily life and things around Marquis Balan, then except for the Marquise Balan, the housekeeper would have the highest status, and others could be completely ignored. In this house far away from the Grand Duke, the little life was still lifeless.
But if the Grand Duke has made it clear that he is here to serve everyone in this room, they cannot refuse household work, and everything must be handled according to the standards in the Duke's castle. The butler, whose family has served the Kawi family for generations, will carry out the Grand Duke's requests without compromise. The ease of life immediately dropped a notch.
Even so, Lin still hesitated. "But……"
Without hesitation, the old man struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xiao Gai, I know you have many secrets here. As a magician, who doesn't have some secret skills hidden in the box that no one wants to know about? Even if they are not used for fighting, you There are a lot of coveted benefits here. I understand the importance of confidentiality. If this group of people violates taboos, don't worry about me, just kill them. Even if you just accidentally glanced at me, I won't blame you for being killed. . If they were bribed and went too far, I would kill their families as well. When it comes to money, I dare not say that I am the richest. But I have a lot of two-legged people, and I will kill them all in this batch. Now, I’ll bring the next batch, it’s not a big deal.”
The Grand Duke spoke proudly, and the people behind him listened with collapse. They were all scared to the point of weakness. From being a servant of a great duke's family to being a slave of a magician from the countryside, the kind of person who doesn't care about life or death, the status is completely different.
Some people are thinking of quitting. Not to mention how generous the remuneration for serving the Grand Duke's family is, if you refuse the Grand Duke's family and want to return to your hometown to farm, you will be disliked. Not to mention that if you call out now, you still don’t know how you will be beaten.
However, a certain time traveler from Earth does not take the lives of innocent people seriously. Seeing that this old man who was afraid that his granddaughter would be wronged dared to agree to any ridiculous conditions, Lin quickly said: "Sir, it's not that serious. I naturally have ways to protect important secrets, and it's not like anyone wants to pry. Able to spy. What worries me is that this house can't accommodate so many people. Or do you have other houses nearby for these people to live in? "
"Oh, let me tell you, Xiao Gai, you are a pragmatic person, why are you so coy and unwilling to agree like before? The house matter is easy to solve, just go out and it will be fine. What do you want to occupy this mansion? There is still a lot of space on the ground, and it is still quite far away from the surrounding mansions. Expanding a little bit is just a matter of saying hello to the city manager of Estali. I will help you solve this matter. Look Do you want to expand an annex to the east or west? Find the best craftsmen to do the construction. Anyway, you are not building a magic tower or castle. It will be completed soon. I paid for the relevant costs. What do you have? If you want a house, just put it forward."
...I kind of understand why some magicians like to take on an apprentice whose family is very powerful. It feels really good to have someone light a fire when you want to smoke, to hold a spittoon when you want to spit, and to scratch your back if you feel itchy.
Moreover, I was trapped in the nest of earth experience before, thinking that the size of the house was fixed, and the interior decoration partitions could only be changed. But in Lost Land, or in Earth's history, houses will 'grow'. As long as there is land and demand, the owner's family can build whatever they want, and no one will care even if the heavy building is removed.
It’s normal if you think about it. The earth society that I live in is an era of population explosion. Especially in urban areas, where every inch of land is at a premium, people living above are not allowed to arbitrarily expand the scope of their houses and encroach on the land next door.
Since there is an old man helping with money and effort, how could someone still not agree? As a reciprocation, in the newly built West Building, an area was planned for unmarried women to live, with multiple sets of independent bathroom facilities. Let Duke Kawei's granddaughter keep as far away from men as possible, which also takes into account the other's customs and taboos. Although it seems to outsiders that it is a superfluous move, they are all living in a strange man's home...
The two female apprentices, Vana and her son, and the dark elf Maier also rushed over there.
The two girls were not satisfied at first, but as the number of people in the family gradually increased, they were able to have a small suite with their own room and study room, instead they had only one room. Exchange the suite for a Silverbeard dwarf couple? Hmm, couple? live together. If the Marquis de Balan and the large group of people who came with her were allowed to stay, the two girls would have to squeeze into one room.
Now that I can move to a new independent room, my original dissatisfaction has become a drizzle and I cannot persist.
The most troublesome thing is Maier, who calls himself a slave. As long as someone has no special business, he will go to the high-seat meeting space of the Ikaruga Alliance to study various improvement issues with other World Trees. Therefore, the dark elf, who is the liaison officer, has no room to perform at all. She meets with her boss almost every day, so what does she need from a mediator?
And after learning more about Mai Ershan's status in the Fasnas dark elf tribe, I understood why she was plotted against. The youngest archdruid, a strong candidate for the future supreme priest, a female elf who is allowed to have children, and the best warrior among the younger generation.
With the blessing of various dazzling auras, she was designated by His Majesty Fasnas as the inviter of the magician Guybrash Tripwood. In fact, judging from the candidates chosen, World Tree invited someone as a courtesy at first, but the dark elf himself made it look like a nondescript 'courtesy'.
Coupled with her beauty, figure and temperament, except for her gray complexion, which makes people disagree, Melson is undoubtedly a stunner. It's too outrageous to use such a beauty as a servant. Do you really want her to warm the bed? It's easy to make a request, and it's probably not too difficult to achieve the goal, but some people don't want to make such an opening due to various psychological and physiological factors.
You know, after other World Trees learned that Fasnas had placed a person next to a certain magician, almost all World Trees wanted to follow suit. And it was also made clear that no matter whether they were male or female, old or young, anyone could name them, mixed race or heterogeneous ones were also acceptable. It's completely the prelude to ****...
As an old magician, the young doggy waist has evolved into a beer belly. Although a certain person once threatened when he was young and frivolous, his ideal way to die would be to die immediately. but! If you do this kind of thing too much, it will not be comfortable, but torture. Everything in the world is the same, what matters is relaxation and relaxation. Not everyone can be a man seven times a night.
Therefore, Maiershan was sent by Lin to take care of Jamsil together with Halumi. Of course, he also promised her that if he had extra materials, he could help her make a set of silk clothes.
Then, taking advantage of this opportunity to expand the mansion, he further drove this person to the planned new west building, lest he lose control one day. Those World Tree bosses are not easy to talk about. Once you eat one, you have to eat a bunch of them until you are exhausted.
The four silver-bearded dwarves returned to the days when each of them had a single room. The marriage system of the Silverbeard Dwarves is relatively close to the 'walking marriage' form of some ethnic minorities on Earth. They will remain loyal to each other and will not have sex with anyone else during a relationship. But to end it, it only needs to be discussed by both parties.
So for them, according to their relationship, men and women share a room, which is actually quite awkward for them. Many times, Jermaine or Riley would simply sleep in the Silverbeard dwarf's workshop in the courtyard instead of going back to their room in the main mansion to sleep. Taking advantage of this expansion, Lin allocated separate rooms to them at strong request.
And Marquise Balan's room is no longer considered a 'room'. It has its own small living room, small dining room, small bar, and independent single bathroom. The presidential suite is as imposing as the One Earth Hotel. There is no upper limit to the extent to which the Grand Duke dotes on his granddaughter.
