Seeing Downton seriously discussing the business plan with Abagon who was speaking some professional vocabulary, Andrea finally couldn't help it anymore and quietly poked Elaine's waist and asked in a low voice, "He seems to be in charge of your family.
Money bag?"
"Yes, he also works part-time as a financial housekeeper." Elaine smiled bitterly.
"No way?" The female officiant opened her red lips in surprise, enough to stuff a goose egg into the goblin's house. Don't you know that their thieving character is integrated into their blood? Do you want to
What does it feel like to be a pauper after being robbed upside down?
Although Abagong was wearing a white shirt and a black butler's dress, and looked like a dog, his green skin and short stature were too eye-catching, especially the goblin's unique big nose, which really made him invisible.
Method is associated with words like shrewd businessman and financial steward.
"In the era of the great goblins, we goblins were the most outstanding merchants on the Western Road, controlling 90% of the wealth in the world." Abagon saw the doubts of the chief priest and narrated without hesitation.
The door opened, and half of Johnson's face was revealed. Although he was smiling, his ugliness shocked Andrea again.
"Ogre?"
Seeing the two sharp teeth as long as his index fingers exposed in Johnson's mouth, the hostess almost cast a magic spell. She thought it was Downton's slave who had escaped from the cage.
"Don't do it." Downton quickly stopped him.
"What are you doing? You didn't open the door yet, and you kept the owner waiting for so long. Damn it." Abagong scolded Johnson, acting like a butler, "Where are the others, come out and move your luggage. How many times have I taught you,
You need to use more brains.”
"Oh, oh, move quickly!"
Johnson opened the door, nodded and bowed to greet Downton and his party, and then strode to the carriage with a large group of natives to carry the goods on it.
There were several passing carriages on the street. The driver was so frightened when he saw these tall and ferocious natives that the pack horses were almost frightened and refused to take a step forward.
"Am I right? Is this an ogre who likes to eat dried humans as food?" Andrea felt that she must be dreaming.
A dozen or so ogres, five meters tall and burly, were busy and busy. They even smiled at Abagong who kicked them from time to time and did not dare to resist.
When he walked through the front yard, Downton finally understood why no one opened the door. The ogres were all standing upside down with bruises and faces, standing in two rows.
"Quasimodo said that if we leave without its order, we will twist our heads off." An ogre begged with tears in his face, "Master, we will never dare to steal food again, please forgive me."
Let’s go”
The hilly natives were so wild that they couldn't bear it. Once Downton and his party left, they went wild. They turned the villa over and even ate all the rations they had reserved. These guys were often hungry, so of course they wouldn't take advantage of this opportunity.
They were polite, and there were even bloody conflicts over grabbing food.
After all, this group of ogre captives was brought together by several tribes, and they had no close relationship with each other. Of course, the bugbears were the worst. Because of their size, they didn't get food, and they were even beaten by Quasimodo because of his anger.
A good beating.
"Keep standing!"
Downton did not forgive the natives and must teach them a lesson. Otherwise, he may not do it again.
Andrea followed Downton to the hall, but before she entered, she saw a tall abomination covered in sutures dragging two ogres out with one hand. They were beaten half to death, and blood was on the floor.
Two bright red blood stains were dragged out from it.
"Master, are you back?" Quasimodo saluted and explained, "They wanted to rape orc women, but I subdued them."
"Leave them to Charlotte." Downton frowned. No wonder the monsters didn't open the door. They were probably still cautious and worried, and did not have a sense of belonging to themselves.
"As you command." Quasimodo dragged the ogre away, and when he walked past the officiant, she subconsciously ducked.
"An abomination with intelligence?" Andrea had good eyesight and could guess its defense power at a glance. She might not be able to easily break through the defense. "Is it also your demon servant?"
"Well!" Downton changed the topic: "Abagong, let someone serve tea."
When she sat down in the living room and looked at the bull-headed woman serving tea, Andrea felt that her entire life of surprise had been used up today.
"What's wrong?" Celes found Hutao secretly tugging on the hem of her skirt and couldn't help but ask.
"That woman's breasts are so big, like cows, doesn't she feel tired?" Hutao looked innocent and made an arc in front of her chest with her hands: "Would her walking be affected too?"
Pfft, Andrea squirted all her tea. She was extremely embarrassed. It was the first time that she was called a cow to her face, and she knew there was a man next to her. This made her feel quite embarrassed.
"I don't know." Celes shook her head and glanced down at her flat chest, feeling a little annoyed. Why didn't she grow bigger?
"Sister, aren't you tired?" Hutao, who had been wandering since she was a child, knew little etiquette and would ask questions when asked. If she hadn't understood that she was a guest, the little Loli would have wanted to poke her with her fingers.
Bang, Downton flicked Hu Tao's forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go do your homework."
"Was it originally a cow? Why can't you tell me?" Hutao was very depressed. Seeing Downton's expression change, she ran away quickly.
After something like this happened, the officiant didn't want to stay any longer, so he just found an excuse and ran away.
"Let's go, let's take you to the big library to see it."
Only himself was left, and Downton lay on his back on the chair without any trace of image.
Homer returned to his grimoire state, shot a beam of light, and expanded into a Gothic arch.
Just like when Downton entered for the first time, the hall built by the Heavenly Star Stone immediately suffocated Elaine. All she could see was the snow-white world, making her feel as if she was standing in heaven.
The stairs are engraved with famous quotes, and the magnificent doors are engraved with various reliefs, all immersed in the atmosphere of wisdom and sanctity.
The statue of a young man on the grass is holding a heavy book and reading it eagerly. On the cover are twelve large characters full of truth.
"Books carry wisdom, and wisdom gives birth to civilization."
"Go this way!"
After taking the three girls through the Gate of Wisdom, Downton entered the library.
It's as peaceful as ever, and the same bookish atmosphere permeates the place.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four white clouds of smoke exploded, and four book elves appeared, each sitting on a book and floating towards these humans.
"so cute!"
Elaine lowered her voice and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them.
"You need to challenge the door god to get the permission. The higher the permission, the longer you can stay in the big library, and the more books you can borrow when you leave."
Homer explains.
"I'm just telling you, no wonder your potion science has improved so quickly. It turns out there is such a good place." When she heard that Downton had been here for twenty days, and only one day had passed in the Western Continent, Elaine was extremely envious, and so was the magic pattern science.
It takes a lot of time to study, but now she doesn't have to worry about not having enough.
"Go ahead, let's read a book."
Downton said the title of the book casually.
The book elf picked up the floating quill and filled in the names on the yellowed parchment book list. After each one was written, the title of the book would flash, and then the corresponding book would fly out of the bookshelf as if it had wings and land on it.
On the desk covered with warm sunlight.
Elaine only knew a few attacking magic spells and was unable to cause effective damage to the door god. However, relying on multiple defenses, she managed to hold on for a long time and directly obtained the D-level authority.
Celes and Hu Tao also took the exam again and successfully obtained D-level permissions. However, the little Loli was kicked out of the big library five days later because she accidentally knocked over the ink bottle and stained the pages with ink.
"Huh? This seems to be a good idea!" The little Loli looked frustrated, but she was very happy in her heart. She would be forced to study by Homer again and just do it like this. Anyway, Homer had nothing to do with the book elf kicking people.
In the following days, Downton devoted himself to preparing for the potions exam. He followed the book list prescribed by Homer and studied the basic knowledge.
Elaine, who was reading, looked up from time to time and looked at the profile of her brother writing furiously. She always smiled unconsciously. She really wanted to make this time last forever.
The day after leaving the Great Library, an unexpected guest came to the door.
"Uncle Lyman?" Downton smiled and greeted him personally, "Why do you have time to come to the capital? Is everything okay at the racecourse?"
"Okay, very good!" Lyman once followed the legion to participate in the Eastern Conquest of the Twelve Principalities, and he has seen big scenes, but what he saw today still shocked him, "Did you buy this villa?
"
"Well!" Downton asked the ogre to serve tea. Despite Abagon's repeated suggestions, he still did not use a maid.
"Is that goblin your butler?" Lyman looked at the goblin exiting and asked in surprise, "Why did you think of letting the goblin be your butler? Are you not afraid that it will steal all your things?"
"No." Downton smiled. Abagon had signed a death contract, and he could kill it at any time even if he fled to the ends of the earth.
"I knew you would become famous a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." Lyman lamented that with his family wealth, he could not afford to buy a villa in this location.
"You're flattered." Downton kept smiling as he listened to Lyman talking about everything in the past, but as the topic turned to the brotherhood, there was a trace of doubt between his brows.
"What do you think of the Brotherhood?" before Downton could answer, Lyman continued, "What they do is good, and they fight desperately for the benefit of poor civilians. All things are equal, and everyone in the world is a brother. This is their highest priority.
Pursuit, why are some people born to be superior? Can they rule us civilians? Are we going to be oppressed by them all our lives? Taxes, labor, when can we get rid of all this? Really live like a human being? "
Downton fell silent as Lyman spoke more and more generously. There was no doubt that he must be a member of the Brotherhood. (To be continued...)
