Chapter 27: Seize three
Jinxi Manor covers an area of about 300 acres.
There is a clear stream at the back of the manor. At first, a little gold sand can be found, but now it is gone. There are hundreds of people in the whole manor, and crops such as cotton, barley, lettuce, etc. are grown nearby. The Earl of Salen owns a copper mine and two iron mines. He secretly controls a chamber of commerce, or he has five caravans, either implicitly or implicitly, between Longcheng, Yarantil, Southern Highlands and so on.
“Adult, please.”
The butler looks like a man who is about fifty years old, but his actual age may be close to one hundred years old. He is wearing a decent tuxedo, but he can still see the strong muscle outline, about two meters tall, unlike a wizard who is more like a warrior, There was a hint of dragon vein warlock on the opponent, but it was very, very faint.
Steven Zhou has long known that the wizarding status of this world is relatively high, but he did not expect it to be so high.
The man who looked like a housekeeper was welcoming him completely, and he was relatively indifferent to the Countess Ilia, and even the smile of Count Sutton who greeted him at the entrance of the hall was completely welcoming him.
“Welcome to my manor. This wizard master.”
Old Earl Sutton is about 60 years old, and his face is covered with wrinkles, but his physique is still burly. The Norman hybrid genes delay the aging of the flesh, and he retains the strength of being close to a knight. Earl Sutton greeted Stephen Countess before turning his eyes to the Countess Eliya next to her, with a sad face: “It’s really good that you are fine. My poor niece. When I heard what happened, I immediately went to the noble council to protest, But I didn’t expect Earl Keaton to start without going through the noble council. I believe that my poor nephew must be innocent. This must be the conspiracy of Earl Keaton. He wants to monopolize the power of Howling City.”
The mother of the deceased Countess Eliya’s husband is his cousin, and the aristocratic hypocrisy makes people feel hypocritical.
But at this time everyone was acting, and the Countess Eliya also hugged her daughter, and said sadly: “It’s all a conspiracy of Count Keaton. Fortunately, my husband secretly entrusted this adult Stephen to take care of us, or else I am afraid that we have already been tainted by Earl Keaton.”
Hearing the words of the Countess Eliya, Old Count Sutton couldn’t help but frown.
Recently, the Underwind City was surging and all kinds of gossip was flying, but one thing is undoubtedly. Earl Keaton has not yet caught the wife and daughter of Earl Norrington, and even all the dispatched personnel are mysteriously missing. This strange thing is easy to think of a powerful wizard. Many nobles are waiting to watch a good show. If the mother and daughter of the Countess Elijah are rescued by a powerful wizard, the Count of Keaton may be next. Very troublesome. Every noble family with a certain background is more or less connected with the mystery (the sorcerer). The Earl of Keaton suddenly killed a noble of the Northland. The outside world has always guessed the real reason. If successful, other nobles cannot What the dead guy does, but if he fails, Keaton will be punished.
“You must be tired. I prepared the dinner and guest room.”
Old Earl of Sutton smiled and said: “Relax. You are safe here. I will protect you as much as possible.”
A cunning old fox.
The Countess of Elijah came to him at this critical juncture, naturally there are very important things, and he seems to have the idea of delaying.
Steven Zhou smiled and said nothing. He noticed that a bodyguard was leaving the side door.
Countess Eliya glanced at his face, and nodded gently, “Okay.”
The dinner was very rich. More than a dozen maids were waiting by the side. Rows of candles with thick baby arms were lit by the table. They prepared roast goose, roast pig, steak, lamb, salad, dessert, etc., but no one tasted it. In the mood for food, Old Earl Sutton has been secretly observing Stephen Week. Unlike other aristocratic visits, he did not let family members come out to meet, and Stephen Zhou’s expression was calm and seemed to be careless. The normal process should be that Old Earl Sutton arranged for family members to see, and Stephen Zhou only felt a few curious glances upstairs.
After a simple meal, the group returned to the guest room, and then the old-fashioned butler with a hard face knocked gently on the door, respectfully saying: “The count asked the adult to go to the study.”
The other party obviously couldn’t sit still.
The Countess Eliya held Stephen’s palm nervously and unconsciously. He turned around and glanced at her gently to pat her peace of mind, and then took the beautiful Countess to the study.
“Where do you come from?”
The candlelight in the study was dim. Old Earl of Salon was sitting in a soft red chair with a somewhat cloudy expression. There was only one butler in the room, but there were at least dozens of elite guards outside.
Stephen Zhou sat easily across from the old count, glancing at the butler next to him, making the other person feel a little nervous. There is a huge gap between the official wizard and the wizard apprentice. The old housekeeper can only feel that Stephen Zhou is the official wizard, But he did not know how strong he was, which made the old count dare not act rashly. Stephen Zhou motioned to the equally nervous Countess Eliya to sit down, and then whispered: “I am from another place.”
Another place can be another continent or another world.
Old Earl of Sutton apparently thinks that it is the former, so he instantly replenishes Stephen Zhou as a wizard master from a separate continent.
“Your Excellency came to me at this time and I don’t know what I want?” In this turbulent period, she brought her mother and daughter of Countess Eliya to him. As long as she is not an idiot, she knows that there must be a reason.
Da da da.
Steven Zhou’s fingers lightly tapped on the table, accompanied by a regular sound, everyone in the room couldn’t help focusing on his fingers.
Pat!
Crisp fingers, a faint energy escape.
Stephen Zhou looked at the stunned old count and smiled: “I have no time to waste too long on this continent. So in simple terms, Earl Keaton must pay for what he did and everything that belongs to them Must be brought back.”
Speaking of this, Stephen glanced at the Countess Eliya next to it, and then said: “But.”
“If something happens to Earl Keaton, someone who can withstand other nobles must stand up and lead the Howling City, and ensure that the rights belonging to this lady will not be violated in the future. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu .Com
“I think you are a qualified candidate.”
There was a silence in the study.
Then the old Earl of Sutton’s voice was a little hoarse: “So. You want to help me replace the Earl of Keaton to control the Howling City and help her regain her lost territory, wealth and status?”
“Wrong!” Stephen Zhou smiled and said: “I just need you to stand up to clean up the endgame of Howling City when necessary, and make sure she takes what she responds to.”
Confidently powerful!
Stephen Chou’s words made the old earl narrow his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “Are you trying to deal with Earl Keaton? IMHO, Your Excellency might be strong, but the family of Earl Keaton also became wizards. , As far as I know, the adult also returned here.”
Snapped.
A thick magic book with evil breath was thrown on the desk, Stephen Zhou smiled and said: “Are you talking about this? If so, I don’t think you have to worry about it anymore.”
Horror!
Old Earl Sutton looked surprised, but the old housekeeper was horrified.
Maybe the old count did not know the meaning of this magic book, let alone the strength of the owner, but the housekeeper knew how powerful the master of the magic book was, because before the earl of Keaton started, there was a terrible woman. Came to warn him not to be too busy. As a wizard apprentice who had traveled to another continent, he knew that the magic book came from the quagmire of death, and he knew the importance of a magic book to the wizard. Now the horrible magic book is in the hands of Stephen Week.
The result is naturally self-evident!
For a time, he felt cold all over his body, because he had no idea how strong Stephen Chow was!
