Chapter 219 Old Mansion
Chapter 219: Old house
With a shout, the carriage ran towards the target. Opposite the place where Huigang was standing just now, there was a relatively tall building, a gold-selling cave for a wealthy man in the city. The three-story building was built in a magnificent manner. On the roof, two people wearing chimney-cutters sat there.
However, the chimney of this three-story building had been cleaned not long ago. The two people who were sitting there now naturally would not be real chimney workers. The two were stiff all over there. After a long time, one of the older ones reacted and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves a few times.
"It seems like it's lightning, it's so scary."
After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He took a few breaths of force, and then relaxed all over his body. He fell down to the sky and murmured:
"I thought it was a routine official, but I didn't expect to meet such a difficult person..."
The young man next to him had just recovered. There was a bit of tremolo in his voice, and his voice was also very low, as if Huigang was still watching from below, and said tremblingly:
"When I saw that, I thought I was going to die, and I looked as sharp as a devil. Yoel, are we going back to talk about this?"
The Yole, who was lying on the ground, muttered a swear word in a low voice and said hatefully:
"I guess everyone in the city will know about the things that happened just now, and then we may still have trouble. When we recover, we will go back to talk about this. Damn, go to the bar tonight to find a girl to relax."
Huigang and his group did not spend much time, and they all arrived near the Lake of Stars as the monk said, where wealthy families lived in the entire city. Because of the noble title of "hereditary paladin", Folite's parents also lived here.
In the memory of the monk Folite's remains, Huigang knew that although Folite's parents were given the title by the Church of Light (in Odan and many countries where the Church of Light are the state religion, the church can be granted a title of baron or below, but the fiefdom needs to consider the specific situation in the local area). But that was more to consider the Paladin heritage of this family.
Moreover, Folite's parents were both traders engaged in textiles and were quite successful. This also allowed Folite, who had no Paladin's heritage to live a life that was not inferior to other noble children with territories. However, now it seems that this may not be a good thing.
Of course, the honor of the "hereditary Paladin" family is now the Paladin who rapes the saint, which is almost a joke in this city. Other people's ridicule and jokes are a deep shame for this family.
It is said to be a family. The Folite family of this generation is just an old couple and Folite, the only son of Folite. Although Paladins of all generations are allowed to get married, they are still mainly abstinent, which also shows why the population of each generation is not very prosperous.
When I first traveled on the execution platform and fled to the forest, in Folite's memory, Folite's parents were impressed by two nagging old men, and even some nagging people offend and their image was a bit blurry.
With the gradual integration, the spirit of Folite, who is subordinate, gradually filtered out those impurities. Only those purest things remain, perhaps the deepest part of Folite's soul, or perhaps the essence.
All that is left is the deep longing for his parents. The remarks at that time have turned into love. They are gradually deepened in my memory. Perhaps Huigang grew up with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng since childhood, although when he was in Shaolin Temple, his master and the old monks who raised him were extremely caring for him.
But this kind of parental love in the secular world is always out of reach for monks. Therefore, I have a vague expectation of these in Folite's memory.
The Lake of Stars is not small compared to the City of Matt, nearly twice the size of a residential area. The original Escal province was a standard border. In a long time, this Lake of Stars was a natural barrier to resist the opponent's attacks. With the continuous expansion of the Audan Empire, it expanded its territory.
Matt City gradually became the hinterland, so the value of the military barrier here gradually disappeared and became a famous landscape. This beautiful lake is located on the side close to the city, surrounded by villas built by dignitaries or powerful figures from other places.
Folit's home is also here and is in a good location. It is around 4 pm when you arrive home. This is when the nobles and rich families and women interact with each other. You can see on the wide and neat streets. Many mansions are full of carriages and horses, which also shows the wide range of social interactions between the hostess and the prosperity of the male host’s status and family background.
However, in these noisy places, there is a very alternative or deserted existence. There are no cars and horses in front of the door there, and the walls are covered with green vines. On the one hand, it looks green and lively, but on the other hand, it looks untied and a bit desolate.
This is the Folit family, the former "hereditary paladin", the laughing stock of Matt City, or the forgotten corner.
The carriage was parked in front of the Folites' door. When the driver opened the door, he looked at the mansion in front of him in confusion. In his opinion, although this house was exquisite and wealthy, it was at best at the upper level, and it was not worthy of the peerless gifts of the two female companions who were accompanied by the person carried by his carriage.
It didn't seem like a place where monsters could be raised, but he naturally wouldn't ask too much, and opened the door respectfully to ask the three people to get out of the car.
Huigang looked at the house in front of him and walked slowly forward. The ten-meter distance seemed to be thousands of miles away. The two girls next to him were a little confused. One of them had undergone great changes since childhood and had been going through ups and downs outside, while the other was less than 20 years old and did not understand the complicated relationship.
No one understands "nearby feelings" very much
The rumbling sound of the carriage, especially the sound of such noble carriages, is even louder. The people in the Folit family live near this street, probably because they are used to hearing these things. However, since those things happened three years ago, no carriages have stopped here, and they are all passing people.
These passing people were still making jokes at first, but now they were too lazy to take a look. Over time, the servants inside got used to these things and were too lazy to pay attention to the movements outside. It was not until this afternoon that something was wrong. The housekeeper who was basking in the sun behind the gate heard that the rumbling carriage outside was parked outside.
I couldn't help but be very confused. I stood up from the recliner, walked to the gate and gently pushed open a crack. When I saw this old man serving the Folite family, I almost fell down from the stone platform at the door. A gardener who was cleaning the yard there, and when I saw it, I hurried over to help the butler of the Folite family who almost fell.
Looking at the old butler's face was covered in black and gasping, he asked hurriedly:
"Butler Carter, what happened? You lie down first, I'll call the doctor!"
Old Carter was there like he had a stroke, his hands tremblingly pointing outside, struggling to say something. The gardener was already very anxious at this time. While massaging the old man's heart with his hands, he looked at the half-open door impatiently. He heard a "bang", followed by a "Oh" scream.
"Ghost...from the demon...!!!"
"Bang!"
With a "bang", the old butler Carter fell from the gardener's hand to the ground. "Oh" was the pain that the old butler finally came back to breathe. When the gardener saw the old little master, his first reaction was the rumors circulating in the city with noses and eyes, and he screamed with qi. As for the "bang", the old butler Carter stood up with unimaginable agility and slapped him.
"Shut up and go back and tell your mother, let her cook something delicious, and you're here to be a distinguished guest."
By the way, in the huge Baron Folit's mansion, there are only three servants, the chef and the gardener. The housekeeper and the chef who used to take the gardener's son got married last year.
Huigang stood by the door in a daze and looked at the old man Carter who opened the door, and hurriedly ran towards the young gardener inside. In his memory, there was naturally this Carter butler, who had watched him grow up with him since he was a child. He often took him with him when his father went out to do business.
The housekeeper Carter was already excited and burst into tears, but his basic idea was still clear. The gardener's scream just now had alarmed the neighbors around him. Some coachmen and people who looked like managers stood on the street and looked at them, and hurriedly let several people outside in.
The driver who had been sending Huigang and the others to Matt City just stood outside the door and said respectfully:
Chapter completed!
