Everyone paid no attention to Henry's mood and continued to finish lunch.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Mrs. Saber and the servants cleared the table together.
"While the whole family is here now, why don't we chat in the yard again." Mr. Saber suggested.
"Okay, I'm very happy." Steele said happily.
Werther raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and reminded: "Mr. Saber, don't forget what you promised me before."
"Your Highness, what are you referring to?" It seemed that he had completely forgotten their conversation before noon.
"Just take me to see the house where your family lived before." Werther spread his hands and frowned into a figure-eight shape. He didn't expect that the other party would forget all about it so quickly, and he felt a little helpless.
"Ah, I remembered. In that case, let me take you to see that house now. If you are sure you want to buy it, I will take you to my sister's place." After Mr. Saber finished speaking, he added
Looking at Steele, "Son-in-law, if you want, why not go there with us? You probably haven't seen the house where our family lived before."
Steele put one hand on his hips and the other on his head, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy, father-in-law, but it seems that your daughters want to lie in the yard with me and bask in the sun."
After hearing this, the others looked at him and saw Henry's three sisters holding his arms with sleepy looks on their faces.
"Daughters, what's wrong with you? Do you want to take a nap?" Mr. Thrab asked.
"Yes, father, we want to sleep in the yard for a while." The eldest daughter replied, "I won't disturb your trip with the lord."
At this time, Mrs. Saber came over wearing an apron and said: "Our two servants are going back to their hometown this afternoon, so I will do the housework. I can't go with you."
"Well, Henry and I will lead the Lord there."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, they packed up and set off in the carriage. Wile sat in the driver's seat and muttered to himself gloomily: "Why should I drive?"
Henry stuck his head out of the carriage and said loudly to him: "Hey, Wil, if we don't start, the sun will go down."
"It's afternoon now, okay?" Wile turned to him and rolled his eyes, then looked ahead and drove forward.
The Sabers' carriage was larger than the castle's carriage, and could seat four people inside.
Henry was opening the curtains and looking outside, as excited as a child. Mr. Saber looked at him, then at Werther, then patted him gently behind him and reminded: "You are also considered a lord now."
I’m a helper, don’t be as naive as before.”
"Am I naive?" he asked, looking at Mr. Thrab in disbelief and pointing at himself.
"One thing." Mr. Saber gently closed his eyes and said, "You are eighteen years old now, but sometimes you behave like a child."
"That's just what you think. I don't think so." Henry let go of the curtains, gently closed his eyes, leaned back, and said, "I'm actually very mature."
"If you were mature, our duck would have the heart of a twenty-year-old human being." Mr. Saber joked.
Werther sat across from them, smiling and watching their quarrel, just thinking, this family is really interesting.
The distance between Saber's house and the old house was not very far, and the road was very flat. They arrived in about ten minutes.
Witte et al.
The man slowly got out of the carriage, walked to the old house, and looked up. At this time, he noticed that the lock on the door could hardly lock the door. As long as the wind blew, the door would open a crack, enough for people to get in.
.
"Is it really okay to open the door like this?" he couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Saber took out the key and said with a smile: "No problem, there is nothing valuable in the house, not to mention this house looks so scary, who would risk going in."
After opening the lock, several of them walked in.
Mr. Thrab felt at the door, found a lamp, and immediately lit it, and then they saw clearly what was inside.
Sure enough, there was nothing but chairs. There was a lot of dried paint on the ground and a lot of crooked paintings on the walls. Several windows could be seen in the distance. The windows were broken and the cut curtains highlighted the desolation here. Huai
Er immediately put his hand on Werther's arm, his body was shaking violently, and whispered: "Your Highness is protecting me, I am afraid."
Werther squinted at him helplessly: "Isn't there a light? It's not that dark now."
"That's what's scary. There is only one light in such a big house, which makes it particularly dark." Wile looked around, and his voice began to tremble.
Mr. Saber looked at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Wile, don't be afraid. Henry and I are very familiar with this place. You can rest assured that we are here. But Your Highness, just in case, I still
Let’s go inside and take a look first, and then come over and call you after making sure it’s safe inside.”
Werther asked: "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need, Your Highness, I am very familiar with this place, and I know how to protect myself. Just wait here."
"Well, be careful."
"Your Highness, be careful." He found another lamp, lit it, and walked inside.
At this time, Henry walked up behind Wil with a secret smile and slapped him hard on the back.
"Ghost!" Wile was so frightened that he immediately screamed and jumped up. Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground with Werther.
After Werther came back to his senses, he looked at him angrily: "What's wrong with you? The person behind you just now was Henry."
"Huh?" Wile turned around cautiously and looked at Henry who was smiling evilly. His face immediately turned red with anger, he jumped up from the ground, pointed at his nose and cursed, "You idiot, this will scare people to death.
!”
Henry looked at his angry look and realized that what he did to Wile seemed to go too far, and said hurriedly: "I didn't know you were so scared. I was wrong just now. Don't be angry."
Seeing that he apologized so quickly, Wile opened his eyes in surprise, and then pretended to be casual and said: "It's okay, I also scared you in the castle warehouse yesterday, and we are even. However, in such a scary situation,
In the house, you actually look the same as usual, which is really amazing. This place looks much scarier than the castle's warehouse."
"What's the matter? I have lived here for many years, and many of the scary-looking places here were made by me." Henry folded his hands on his chest and said, "Look at the window over there.
I smashed it; I also splashed the paint on the stairs; and I cut the curtains on the second floor."
Wile looked at him helplessly and said, "I couldn't tell you were so naughty when you were a child."
Witte asked curiously: "At that time, after you made this place like this, how did the adults punish you?"
Henry sighed and said: "We were made to stand in the corridor
It was a long time, of course my cousin and I stood the longest because I broke the most places."
"Is that all?" Werther asked.
"Of course it wasn't just that, we were reprimanded for almost half a year."
"Then you haven't been beaten by adults?"
"Actually, they had the idea of moving out of here. Moreover, the only thing we damaged was the house. The furniture, especially the bedroom furniture, was intact, so we were not beaten, and they had no intention of repairing it."
"So, you've moved all the furniture away, right?" Werther asked, "Except for these stone chairs."
Henry nodded and said, "These chairs are too heavy and not easy to move."
"You are so brave," said Wile. "These windows and curtains look very expensive. They look better than those in the castle."
Werther looked at the window in the distance and said, "It's really good. It looks like a window frame made of fine wood, and the carved patterns on it are also lifelike."
"Your Highness, it's so dark here, you can see clearly!" Wile exclaimed.
Werther smiled and thought that in the past he really couldn't see clearly, but now because he has practiced magic, his eyesight is particularly good.
"But why is the light here so dark?" Werther asked curiously, looking around.
"Actually, it's like this. The curtains can't be opened, and we kids have planted a lot of vines very close to the house. If no one builds them, most of the light will be blocked."
"Indeed," said Werther, "no wonder it's so dark here."
They waited here for a few more minutes.
"Well, why isn't Mr. Saber back yet? Should we go over and have a look?" Werther looked inside, "If there is really any danger, we can help."
At this time, Mr. Saber ran over carefully and said: "Your Highness, I have checked. There is no one else inside. Let's go in."
"Then you take us there." Werther smiled.
Going further inside, the light actually starts to increase. When you get to the bedrooms, because these bedrooms do not have closed doors, a lot of sunlight comes through the bedroom windows, making it bright without the need for lamps.
There is no furniture here, the floor looks very solid, and there is no sound when walking on it. Such a quiet place is really suitable for a school, Witte thought to himself.
After looking inside for about twenty minutes, he had seen all the places. Mr. Saber smiled and asked: "Your Highness, what do you think of this place?"
"I think it's pretty good."
"That's great! Why don't I take you to my sister's house now and discuss the price with her?"
"However, I think I still need to think about it again," Witte said. "After all, this house is very big and the price must be high. I still need to think carefully about it."
Mr. Saber smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. If you want to buy this house, you will indeed have to spend a lot of gold coins. If His Highness can buy it, it will be an honor for our family."
Henry said from the side: "Your Highness, it should be past three in the afternoon now. Where should we go next? How about going back to my house for afternoon tea?"
"Yes, Your Highness, my wife must have prepared desserts for afternoon tea." Mr. Saber said, "It is different from what we eat at lunch. You can go to my house and try it."
