Chapter 29 Elegance is engraved in the bones
The entrance to the tomb passage is still in the dining room of the manor. The food on the table is the same as when it was left, and the positions of the maids have not changed at all. If he hadn't seen the hands on the pendulum clock on the wall moving, Helot would have thought that time here had stood still while he was in another world.
When the head maid saw Herot walking out of the tomb passage, she immediately floated over. She looked inside the dark tomb passage and asked with a worried look: "Master, I didn't see the housekeeper coming out with you. Could it be that he ..."
"Butler?" Helot then remembered that Kurt had been kept in his storage belt and he had really forgotten about him. "Kurt, he's fine..."
Helot released Kurt from the storage belt.
The servants waiting here couldn't help but relax when they saw Kurt, which shows that this skeleton butler is very respected by the undead in the manor.
After Butler Kurt came out, he immediately said worriedly to Hailot: "Master, please don't put me in the storage belt for a long time in the future. I am worried about you all the time in there. For your safety, in that unknown and dangerous world, you must always be protected by servants who are loyal to you.”
Helot sat back on the dining table, still sitting on the leather-cushioned chair. Comfortable.
"Don't worry, Kurt! I will not encounter danger in that world, or to be precise, I will not encounter real danger. The player's identity will not really die there, but will only drop the level. . Besides, I have recruited a stronger guard than you. I will bring her here next time so that you can get to know her.
By the way, I don’t know your name yet?”
I don’t know that the head maid has served the Claude family for hundreds of years, but she still looks like a young and beautiful girl, wearing the maid uniform of the old aristocratic era.
The head maid curtsied and replied: "My name is Maynur, my master."
"Mainur..." Helot looked at the pendulum clock to confirm the time. Then he said: "Prepare dinner for me, I'm hungry!"
"Yes, my master, do you have any special requirements for your dinner? Your servants will do their best to satisfy your food requirements. Taste."
"No. I'll eat whatever you do. It's better to be simple and fast. I haven't eaten anything for a day."
"Please wait a moment, your dinner will be served soon."
Mainur directed the servants to clear the table and then prepare dinner.
Butler Kurt took out the red wine and wine glass from the wine cabinet next to him, poured a glass of wine for Herot, and said: "Master, drink an aperitif before the meal to help digestion."
Helot picked up the glass and took a sip, and then said to Kurt: "About meeting my father, don't tell anyone, including the undead here."
"As you command. , my master.”
Herot asked again: "How many undead are there in the manor now?"
Kurt replied: "Report to the master. There are 246 undead in Claulund Manor, of which 34 are wailing ghosts wandering outside the manor. In the forest, there are 152 skeleton farmers who are responsible for the outermost warning of the manor and who try to break into the manor.
< br>There are 34 ghost servants, 15 skeleton servants, and 10 spirit guards in the manor.”
Helot didn’t expect that such a large manor could accommodate thousands of people, but there were only a few people inside. So little undead.
The Claude family is really in trouble!
Originally, Herot was thinking about bringing some undead souls from the manor into the heroic world, but now he is more worried about the safety of the manor.
"How did you protect such a large manor from being invaded?"
Kurt replied: "When the old master was still there, people outside did not dare to do anything excessive. After all, The ancestors of the Claulund family were the 12th Duke of the founding of the country. Although they were deprived of their title of duke, they still had a certain degree of power.
But after the old master disappeared, the people of Hog Town became restless. Want to demolish the manor. We fought off many invasions and lost many undead.
If you, Master, do not inherit the manor, we will soon be bulldozed together with the manor. "
Helot did not expect that the security problem of the manor was more serious than he thought. Now not only cannot the undead be drawn into the game world from here, but the place needs to be strengthened as soon as possible.
< br>
Helot asked again: "Are there any undead in the manor who are stronger than you? "
"No. ”
"How many people are as powerful as you?"
"No."
A butler is actually the strongest combat power of the manor. The strength of Claulund Manor is constantly breaking through the lower limit of expectations. !
It’s not easy to be the patriarch of the Claude family!
Helot drank the whole glass of wine: "Everything will be fine."
Kurt said with great anticipation: "When the master regains the power of the family cemetery, the Claude family will definitely be revived in your hands. At that time, the emperor will send you the ducal crown, and the nobles will compete for it. Marry their daughter to you, and your descendants will live here.
The visiting carriages will line up in Hog Town..."
Helot said with a smile. Kurt, you don’t have to say so many nice things. Recovering the power of the family cemetery is not as easy as you think.
You have to do it step by step, just like eating it one bite at a time.
Mainur walked into the restaurant with the maids carrying dinner.
Pan-fried steak, smoked fish, fruit and vegetable salad, tomato sauce mashed potatoes, milk oatmeal apple porridge, bread slices.
There is also a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar.
Kurt took the red wine from the maid and brought a new wine glass to replace the one just used.
"Master, this is night orchid wine. It has a light taste, which can weaken the greasiness of meat and make the meat aroma more layered.
Please taste it..."
< br>
Herote took a sip of night orchid wine. The aroma of the wine was indeed very light, and it felt as sweet as drinking spring water. It went into the throat as soft as pulp, and the aftertaste was lingering. Cut off a piece of meat and put it in your mouth. You really can't feel the greasiness of the oil. After chewing it, the meaty aroma comes layer by layer.
I didn’t expect that eating a meal would be such an enjoyable experience.
No wonder my mother once said that in terms of aristocratic tradition and heritage in the current empire, no one can preserve it as completely as the Claude family, not even the imperial royal family.
Looking at the servants here, you will know that elegance has nothing to do with appearance.
Even if it is a skeleton, the standing posture is unattainable, as if the person dining here is the former Duke Claude.
Finished a dinner that was not too sumptuous, but very ceremonial.
Helot wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked Kurt: "Where is father's study?"
Kurt replied: "The old master's study is in the east corridor on the third floor. Let the head maid take you there. During this time, I need to inspect the manor and arrange work for the evening."
"You can go do your business, and Maynur can accompany me to the study."< br>
