"Why did you buy that thing? Are you a blacksmith?"
"These days, the idea of weapons being made from meteorite falling from the sky has long been outdated. If you are young, you should give up as soon as possible."
"..."
"Excuse me."
After asking several stores that seemed likely to sell meteorites.
Ronald's confirmation that he wanted to buy a meteorite was basically an unfeasible luck-of-the-moment event.
Not to mention the most common iron meteorite.
In the shopping street near here, there is not even one person selling photos of meteorites.
If you want to activate the ability of "Almagest", you can only wait until you go to the university to look for opportunities.
Feeling a little depressed, Ronald stopped a taxi on the street.
The purchase of the meteorite failed, but there is still nothing wrong with the gift.
He planned to pay a visit to Nicklaus's house as soon as possible before the sun set.
Time passed little by little.
The carriage drove slowly down the street.
Almost forty minutes later, Ronald arrived at Patricia's home.
That is where the Nicklaus family is located.
——Bianlin District.
The Nicklaus family's mansion does not guard Crown Road, where the Queen lives, nor is it located in any of the city's wealthy settlements.
In contrast, the backwoods area is the area where the springs meet the outer suburbs.
It is also one of the must-pass places when entering the city.
On the other side of it is the Organ District, where the rich live.
The Nicklaus family's residence is arranged here, in a sense, it is also due to the responsibilities of their family.
So he jumped out of the carriage, and Ronald was in this mansion.
In other words, he looked carefully in front of the manor.
The first impression given by this manor owned by the Nicklaus family is that it is large enough.
Because we have arrived at the edge of the city.
On the premise that there is no need to consider the issue of floor space, an open garden large enough to train soldiers is enclosed by the fence of the manor, and further away is the house where their family lives.
As for the performance in relevant details.
Although there is no very luxurious aristocratic atmosphere, Niklaus is a family with a long history, a great reputation in the mysterious side, and is regarded as the sharp edge of the kingdom.
Therefore, Ronald recognized some valuable items on some decorations on the gates and roads.
This is also the heritage that an established family should have.
At the same time, Ronald stopped here to watch.
The guard at the gate of the manor noticed his figure.
So, a tough young man walked towards Ronald and asked in a meticulous tone:
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Ronald nodded slightly towards the other party, and then explained himself:
"Ronald Adler."
"As you can see, I'm here to visit a friend."
"Miss Patricia of the Niklaus family must have said this, right?"
Hearing Ronald's words, the young man's serious eyes immediately lit up.
After looking back and forth on Ronald, he nodded and continued:
"It turns out he is the lady's friend!"
"If you don't mind it, you can wait here for a moment and I'll notify you right away!"
As he spoke, the young man ran back to the door.
After giving a few instructions to his companion, he immediately ran towards the buildings of the manor.
"..."
Watching the other person's disappearing back.
With a polite smile on his face, Ronald was welcomed by other guards to the waiting room at the door.
The waiting time is not too long.
Two or three minutes after the young guard disappeared, the girl Ronald was familiar with appeared on the other side of the manor's building.
But it's different from before.
Today, Patricia was wearing a set of loose white clothes, with a one-handed training sword hanging on her waist. As he gradually approached the gate, Ronald saw that there was still something on Patricia's face.
There are traces of sweat stains just wiped off.
Her platinum hair was styled into a ponytail and hung behind her head.
The girl with a sporty air waved to Ronald simply:
"Ronald, you're here!"
"..."
Smiling and approaching, Ronald said to Patricia:
"Isn't it true that I was not here yesterday when you came?"
"I thought about it and I happen to be free today, so I came over quickly."
"That's it." Listening to Ronald's explanation, Patricia also smiled and affirmed. Then she glanced at her residence, and the girl directly invited Ronald, "Let's go in and talk."
"Besides, it's already this time, so you can also have dinner on the way."
Ronald nodded slightly:
"Thank you very much."
While asking and answering, the two walked towards the house talking and laughing.
And when they left, the guards at the door looked at each other strangely.
I waited for about ten breaths.
Only one of the guards tried to ask:
"That one just now is our lady, right?"
"Of course!"
"But have you ever seen Miss Patricia receiving guests like this today, and she is still a young man!?"
"If I had seen you, would I still have the same expression as you?"
"But I've never seen this guy before."
"I can't accept it!"
"..."
Not to mention the hushed discussions among the guards.
On Ronald's side, when Patricia took him to the interior of the manor, the girl wrinkled her nose belatedly.
His eyes looked over at himself.
Patricia showed a trace of distress on her face, and then she said to Ronald:
"Ronald, I'm so sorry."
"I was training in the arena just now, but I ran to the door covered in sweat."
"Why don't you wait first and I'll take a shower and then come back?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Of course no problem."
"That's good." With an apologetic smile on her face, Patricia walked towards the right side of the mansion and shouted upstairs, "Marita, take my friend to my room, please
Entertain him!”
Thumb thump thump——
Almost as soon as Patricia finished speaking, the sound of regular footsteps came from upstairs:
"Yes, miss!"
Soon, Ronald saw the owner of the voice, a young girl dressed in servant attire.
After seeing that the person Patricia put her in charge of was Ronald.
The maid's eyes were obviously stunned.
"..."
She immediately looked at Patricia's leaving figure.
Then he opened his mouth and seemed to want to remind or ask something.
However, the girl did not speak in the end.
Her eyes shifted from Patricia to Ronald. After looking at Ronald with quite complex eyes, the maid turned slightly to make way for the way upstairs, and then spoke with extreme caution.
