Dean's team headed for Katyushire.

However, when he was about to enter Kaqiu County, he suddenly deflected his direction and entered the Emerald Mountain Range.

"Lord Zelgaon, are you sure that your family's ancestral home is built in a place like this?"

Entering the mountains, the countess, who could no longer ride a horse, walked on foot, with an inquiry in her mouth.

However, anyone can tell that there is considerable dissatisfaction in such an inquiry.

In this regard, the Grand Duke Swordsman comforted Dean with his eyes.

And Dean, who knew very well what kind of mood the defeated countess was after the 'One Sword Covenant', chose to ignore the other party for the time being.

Of course, the four Shanghuan spell scrolls promised by the other party, plus a high-quality magic item, were one of the important reasons why Dean made such a choice.

"Fandi, this is not the 'ancestral home' of the Dean family in the true sense of the word, but a place similar to the nature of an annex...... Because, something happened at that time, and the ancestors of the Dean family had to regard this place as an 'ancestral home'! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman acted as the answerer.

However, when he talked about some privacy, he still asked Dean with his eyes, and it was not until Dean nodded that he continued.

Of course, this was all Dean's prepared rhetoric in advance.

And among them, because of the appearance of Harlem, some adjustments have been made.

At least, there is no need to go alone first with tactful statements such as 'hometown timidity'.

"Something happened? That's not ...... Is it common? ”

The countess was stunned for a moment, and then, with a slight self-deprecation in sarcasm.

Any aristocratic family. There will be a so-called inheritance. And such an inheritance. There is always quite a lot of trouble, especially when there is more than one heir.

The Grand Duke Swordsman was silent about this.

Dean wouldn't say anything more.

The group was in silence, unconsciously speeding up their pace.

And after the sun was completely westward, Dean stopped—

It was a low hill with green trees, and the birds that came home late made a burst of chirps. Crisp and pleasant.

However, no one has found that there is a house or a similar structure.

"Lord Zelgan, your 'ancestral home' ......"

The countess subconsciously wanted to taunt her, but the next moment, she was silent.

As Dean walked forward quickly, a layer of ripples appeared in front of Dean, and Dean disappeared in front of everyone.

Magic?!

The people present looked at this scene in amazement.

Then, in turn.

It's like passing through a viscous curtain of water. When everyone felt that their whole body was loose, the whole person's eyes lit up.

It's still the evening view. It's just that a small manor appeared in front of them.

The white façade, crawling with green plants, is not yet in the real blooming season, but it already has yellow-green shoots, and of course, that height.

The upper and lower floors, the first floor against the window, are all like this.

In front of the house, a hexagonal snowflake-shaped statue fountain sprayed layers of ice crystals with gusts of cold air.

The closest to Dean and the others was a row of iron fences of mixed masonry that enclosed the entire manor, and the paint on them was somewhat mottled.

However, there is not the slightest trace of rust.

Therefore, it is only dilapidated, but it is not dilapidated.

In the distance, the lights on in the two-story building next to the main building of the manor also showed that it was not unattended here.

Apparently, some of Dean's intrusion alarmed the people there.

An old man walked out with two middle-aged men.

The old man had white hair and beard, and was dressed like a butler's suit, and walked in the front with a cane more than half a man tall in his hand, while the two middle-aged men behind him were in ordinary clothes, but on the sleeves and placket, there were snowflake-shaped hexagonal coats of arms, and in their hands they held long swords and longbows.

The old man glanced at the people around him, and eventually, his eyes fell on Dean's—

"Young Master?"

The old man asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"It's me, Sidru! Tom, Jerry, I'm back! ”

Dean nodded, and then, nodding at the two middle-aged men, the middle-aged man with a long sword and a longbow nodded happily.

"These are my friends and will be staying here tonight......"

Dean commanded the old man one by one.

After a few moments, the two middle-aged men walked briskly to prepare, while the old man accompanied Dean towards the main building.

The heavy hall door was easily pushed open, without the slightest harsh sound, and there was no ash stain inside, on the contrary, it was unusually clean, especially when the candles were lit, and the whole hall had a bright feeling.

"It's really not easy to maintain such a manor with three people!"

The countess looked around and said suddenly.

"The servants of the Zelgang family are definitely not ordinary servants!"

As a butler, the old man looked at the countess in front of him with a smile, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a bottle of water with water floated into his hand from the table in the distance.

Sorcerer!

Everyone present, except for Dean, was shocked.

Obviously, they didn't expect that the gray-haired old man in front of them would be a wizard.

The old man ignored these surprises, he looked at Dean: "Young master, is it still clear tea?" ”

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded, and then, Dean looked at the young men of the Knights of the Knights of Fecharon, "Chard, you can take someone to help Tom and Jerry - dinner and lodging are all taken care of by you!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Chad and the young men nodded without the slightest complaint.

Especially Chad, as Dean's retainer, these things themselves are what he should do.

Chad and the young men went to help, and Sidru, the steward of the Zelgang family. then with tea. Entertaining the Grand Duke Swordsman and the Countess.

As for the countess's guards?

Apparently there is no such qualification. He walked straight behind Chad.

"Black tea with honey!"

"Mint tea with wine!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman and the Countess respectively reported the drinks they wanted to drink, and the recipe of 'mint tea and wine' made Dean stunned.

It was the first time he had seen such a drink.

"It's a way of drinking tea from the men of the sea – they need both the refreshment of mint and the scorching heat of spirits...... However, those spirits have long since been replaced by light liquor! Am I right? The countess of the Katyu family! ”

The old man explained with a smile as he got ready.

Those teapots flew in the air, and the teacups followed. In the furnace, with the old man's finger, a flame appeared.

"Mr. Sidru, you are also unusual? A steward can know so much - the Katyu family is from the sea, I'm afraid many people don't know this! ”

The countess looked at the forehead with interest, especially Dean's old butler, which made the countess even more interested.

"As the steward of the Zelgang family, there are some things that must be understood, and some things that need to be learned!"

The old butler said unhurriedly.

"It's like. The spells you cast? ”

The countess asked with a smile.

"Well, it's like a spell I cast. In the same way, I am also proficient in pharmacy, but in swordsmanship...... Because of his age, he fell behind! ”

The old butler sighed with some regret.

The Zelgan family excelled in swordsmanship, sorcery, and apothecary.

This is clearly known to the vast majority of jade nobles, and in the body of this old butler, it is undoubtedly revealed.

In particular, the appearance of using the 'wizard's hand' is perfect, which makes the countess feel a lot of awe.

You must know that a person who can use the 'Wizard's Hand' without caring about it like this needs at least the strength of a high-ranking wizard, because only a high-ranking wizard can permanently solidify two or three spells at the so-called 'trick' level.

And now, a high-ranking wizard has appeared as the butler of another family.

Thinking of the Kimpton she had paid for a superior wizard, for a while, the countess's heart became more and more unbalanced.

However, the countess wisely did not 'throw an olive branch'!

She knew very well that she could hold on to the loyalty of the family servants of the ancestral house in the Emerald Mountains.

Such a servant would never change his court because of something like Kimpton, and even caused considerable disgust.

So, the countess simply shut up.

As a friend and instructor of Dean, the chief swordsman who is always willing to stand on Dean's side is very happy to chat with the old butler.

Starting with the entire mansion and continuing through the surrounding forest, there is also some history of the Zelgaon family.

The old housekeeper answered them one by one.

In particular, the surrounding forest and the history of the Zelgaon family are even more numerous.

And this made the countess let go of the last trace of doubt in her heart.

This is indeed the 'ancestral home' of the Zergaon family—although, according to the records, it must have been a separate courtyard; However, it is certain that Dean was born here.

When the countess saw the painting on the side of the hallway with her teacup, she was more and more sure.

The man in the painting is carrying a child.

The man's age is not young, he looks like he is about forty years old, his face is four or five points similar to Dean at this moment, he is well-dressed, and he is very elegant.

As for the kid?

The Countess glanced at it and felt a sense of stubbornness—even though it was a far cry from Dean's poise, she was sure that the child in the painting was Dean.

"Hmph, little brat!"

Glancing at the cheerful and naughty 'Dean', who had used his blouse as a trouser, the countess commented.

Then, she returned to the corner of the hall with her teacup and sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for dinner to begin.

PS The first more ~~

Decadence apologizes to everyone...... This chapter is late......

At noon, a friend who had not been seen for a long time came back and went out to dinner about Decadence - chatting while eating, but the last time I looked at my watch, it was half past three......
