The bustling crowd at the train station is just the tip of the iceberg of this dazzling city. Just standing there, Verak could vaguely feel the undercurrent of this city.
"Let's go, the car has been arranged outside." Fletcher patted Verak on the back with a hand and gently pushed him forward.
"Where are they?" Verak turned his head and looked behind as he stepped forward.
Fletcher lowered his hat slightly: "You have to remember that from now on you are Thomas Cleese. Those two people, at least on the surface, no longer have any contact with you. It makes no sense for them to travel with you now.
So I will put them in a safe place first."
"...Okay." Verak knew that he was not yet able to keep Nord and Dempsey by his side, so he could only follow Fletcher's arrangement.
After leaving the station, under the leadership of a bodyguard, they arrived in front of a black car. Although Lezein was already extremely prosperous, as far as the eye could see, there were still not many cars on the street, and the mainstream was still horse-drawn carriages.
"Get in the car." Fletcher opened the rear door for Verak.
Since arriving in Lezein, Fletcher has obviously become much more attentive. Because in this city, Verak is Chris and Fletcher is the butler. Their status to others is different. If
Fletcher also maintained a polite but contemptuous attitude towards Verak, which might cause unnecessary trouble.
After Verak entered, Fletcher sat next to him and closed the car door. After the accompanying bodyguard sat in the passenger seat, the car started and drove towards the other side.
"This car is really good. I have only seen a few scattered ones in the urban area of Tswold City, but those are obviously not as good as this one." Before Verak was reborn, let alone ride in this car, he could even drive it.
Everything went smoothly, but at this moment, under Fletcher's eyes that were mixed with expectation and contempt, he still had to pretend to be very novel, his eyes jumped around in the car, and his hands couldn't help but caress the body of the car.
"Haha." Sure enough, after saying this, Fletcher laughed disdainfully, "In the future, you will see more things that you have never heard of over there."
Verak glanced at the car window: "I'm looking forward to it."
"Don't think so far ahead, Mr. Carmine should be waiting, right?" Fletcher said.
The driver in the driver's seat said "Hmm": "Mr. Carmine, Mrs. Mela, Miss Kellerman, and Miss Julia have been waiting for a long time."
"Miss Kellerman, Miss Julia is the eldest daughter and second daughter of Mr. Carmine and Mrs. Mela." After listening, Fletcher explained the relationship to Verak.
"I know this. I saw it in the booklet." Verak nodded, "Mr. Carmine, Mrs. Mela has three children, namely Kellerman, Chris, and Julia."
Fletcher showed a satisfied expression: "Very good. Mr. Carmine should be satisfied with you."
Verak did not answer, and his attention was attracted by a group of carriages passing by outside. The first few carriages had long ladders on the back, and the latter ones carried huge water tanks. Wherever they passed, pedestrians gave way.
opened, freeing up a spacious aisle.
"It's the fire brigade, there should be a fire somewhere." Fletcher said, and then in order to pass the boring time on the road, he introduced some famous scenic spots, "There is a famous arch bridge over there, spanning the Mena River.
.Continuing to the north, there are Clayton Gardens, People's Square, Moncey Palace..."
After a while, the car drove into an area of luxury homes.
"This used to be the Royal Plaza hundreds of years ago, and was later converted into a noble mansion area. We are almost there, and we will see Mr. Carmine later. Please pay attention to your attitude and wording. Although you are pretending to be Chris, you
Always remember, you are not the real Chris."
"Understood." Verak said.
"Take some time to tidy up your clothes." In Fletcher's mind, even if Verak puts on this expensive and eye-catching outfit, he is still a lowly provincial poor boy. So it's not that Verak's current clothes are untidy and unseemly, but that he is
His consistent thinking always made him feel a little awkward.
"Understood." Verak responded without any hesitation and calmly adjusted his collar symbolically.
The car entered the luxury area and finally stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.
Verak knew that this was where the Carmine family lived. This kind of building, which looked like a perfect combination of classical and contemporary styles from the outside, was very popular among the Lezein nobles.
Before getting off the bus, Fletcher gave a final warning: "Even in the mansion, many people don't know your identity. I think you also understand this kind of thing. The fewer people who know, the better. So after entering
, except for meeting Mr. Carmine’s family and me in private, you must maintain Chris’s image in front of anyone else.”
"Understood." The words that came out of Verak's mouth were still two short words.
"Okay, get out of the car, Master Chris." Fletcher got out of the car first and opened the door for Verak.
Verak, who was sitting in the car, looked towards the 'luxury palace' through the open door, and what he saw was turbidity.
After a two-second pause, Verak got out of the car, and under the leadership of Fletcher, he was led all the way from the mansion gate to the spacious living room.
The living room is based on classical literary and artistic style, with exquisite design, luxury and comfort.
The elegant decorations on the walls, the dazzling collections, the intricate and exquisite carpets, the brilliant crystal chandeliers, the gorgeous sofas... all reflect the nobility of the Thomas family. However, after living here for two months, Verak also
I still can’t tell what kind of wood is used in those expensive-looking wooden furniture, and what is the artistic value of these objects.
Everything was incompatible with Verak, but after he stepped into this place again with an unprecedented mood, he silently swore in his heart that he would live in such a place comfortably in the future.
"Sir, Madam." Fletcher bowed slightly and saluted Carmine and Mela.
In the large living room, on the sofa facing the door, Carmine, wearing a white shirt and brown vest, and Meira, wearing a high-waisted skirt, were sitting. On both sides were Kellerman and Julia.
Both of them also wore slender dresses similar to Meera's.
Fletcher said: "This Most Verak, who comes from the slums of Tswold City, Joseph County, is the substitute for Master Chris we found during this trip."
After Fletcher finished speaking, Carmine did not speak, and the silence in the living room was terrifying and depressing.
Verak did not want to arouse Carmine's resentment, so he did not choose to look at him. Instead, like Fletcher, he bowed and saluted as humbly as possible: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Carmine."
