third chapter(1/3)

When the dawn shone into the deep alley of the nest, the old man got up early and opened the bedroom door to walk into the study.

Relying on the sofa on the side of the study, the boy slept very sweetly.

The old man didn't want to alarm the boy. He quietly opened the door of the room and walked down the stairs, and came to Brother Faying's door.

In the nest, no door is locked, because it is a specialist in unlocking, and those things are useless here, but on the contrary, they can easily cause the gold fingers to itch.

He pushed open the door and walked into the room. He was completely different from the boy. Brother Faying was a long-lasting old thief. Any abnormal behavior in the room would immediately arouse his alert.

Seeing Brother Faying awakened immediately, the old man was quite satisfied and nodded and said, "Get up quickly, you go and call Ted, we have to see the boss."

"So early?" Brother Faying couldn't figure it out.

"I don't want to leave before everyone gets up, I don't want to have the same chaos as yesterday." The old man said.

"I understand." As he said that, Brother Faying jumped out of the bed and ran out of the room quickly.

It took a long time before Brother Faying came back, and he was still carrying a piece of clothing in his hand.

"The carriage is waiting outside. Ted said the alley is too deep and his carriage cannot come in." Brother Faying said.

"Go and wake that boy up." The old man ordered.

Brother Faying agreed and walked upstairs.

It was not quite difficult to awaken the boy.

Brother Francisco handed the dress to the boy and stepped out the window. Brother Francisco was not interested in watching a boy change his clothes.

Looking down from the window, the old man was whispering something to Ted there, and Ted nodded repeatedly.

"I'll change it." The boy's voice came from behind.

Brother Fa Ying looked back and saw that the young man wearing his new clothes seemed particularly energetic. It seemed that he had recovered from yesterday's storm.

"Then, let's go!" After saying that, Brother France and Ying took the lead.

Outside the alley, the carriage was already ready.

Following the old man and Brother Faying, the boy got on the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly and quickly left the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, the carriage did not drive onto the spacious roads, but instead drove onto the country roads.

The branches on both sides of the road kept knocking on the carriage carriages, and no one was talking to the three people sitting in the carriages.

The carriage was moving very slowly, and there were several up and downhills. There were quite a few forks on this road, and the boy felt that the carriage kept turning around the way.

The boy had already lost his sense of direction. He prayed in his heart that the coachman should not lose his way, otherwise, even if he wanted to return to the main road, it would be quite difficult.

The boy was wondering why the owner lived in such a remote and complicated place. If he went out to do something in the future, it would be too hard. It would take several months to get familiar with this road.

Just as the boy looked out the window with a frown, the carriage finally drove onto a neat tree-lined avenue.

In the distance are rows of green and neat fields. When spring comes, the crops in the fields are green and growing happily. The fields of wheat fields swing left and right with the wind, causing waves like ripples. In addition to the wheat fields, there are rapeseed. The newly grown rapeseed is like a dark green thick carpet spread on the field. The wide rapeseed leaves cover the fields layer by layer without revealing the color of the soil.

It was hard to see what bird was flying happily in the sky, looking for their first delicious meal of the day.

Along the boulevard, the carriages are driving faster and faster. This place is obviously a relatively remote place. Along the way, not to mention a carriage, even pedestrians cannot see any of them.

After more than a moment, the carriage finally stopped in front of a spacious and luxurious villa garden.

When he got off the carriage, the boy's first impression was white.

Everything is snow-white.

The ground is covered with white gravel and uncommon white pebbles, and the trees, flowers and plants in the garden are also planted in flower beds made of white mud bricks.

The tall iron railing wall surrounding the garden was also painted in white.

As for the villa, not only was the floor made of snow-white marble, but the nine columns that could be hugged with their arms were also carved from white marble. The walls of the villa were snow-white. I don’t know if they were painted or the bricks used were white.

The most conspicuous thing in the entire building is the large white dome.

The building with huge domes, the boy has only seen the cathedral of Nangang.

Although the dome is beautiful, it is difficult to build, so the construction cost is quite expensive. In Nangang, the rich people are smart businessmen, and no one is willing to spend their money in such a place.

Only the nobles who did not often appear in Nangang were interested in dome buildings. I heard that there were several such dome buildings in Serth Castle.

The boy guessed in his heart that the identity of the person who lived inside was about to become his boss.

Judging from this attitude, it is very likely that the new owner is a big man with a noble status.

The boy became a little nervous, so he pulled the corner of his clothes again and tidied his clothes neatly.

The old man pulled a long bright yellow silk ribbon hanging in front of the door. With a crisp ringtone, the door opened. A middle-aged man in neat clothes, wearing a waiter's bow tie and a stern face appeared at the door.

"Mr. Peem, the master has been waiting in the study. But I think you have not had breakfast yet. The master has already told me to prepare it for you. When you finish eating, you will go to see the master." As he said that, the butler took everyone to the kitchen.

Along the way, the boy looked around at this completely unfamiliar place.

The decoration here is luxurious and elegant. The owner obviously does not want to show off his wealth, so there is no gorgeous decoration and exquisitely carved furniture in most wealthy families in Nangang.

However, the entire building itself can be regarded as an extremely elegant masterpiece.

In the eyes of young men, the whole building is like those precious works of art from the other side of the distant ocean. As Mr. Madiled said, only the peoples of the East truly understand art. They can use simple lines to depict wonderful and unforgettable treasures of art.

When we arrived at the kitchen, the rich people's kitchens were all the same. In the kitchen, several cooks were busy, and there was an attractive food fragrance floating in the air. In the middle of the kitchen was a long table with just cut meat and flour on it, and the vegetables that had been picked.

The butler gave the order, and the cooks cleared out an open space in a corner of the table.

Around that corner, the old man, Brother France and the boy were sitting there.

The cooks took out the food from the steamer that was still steaming.

"I don't know when you will arrive, so I asked the chefs to prepare the food long ago and put it in the steamer to heat it. It may taste slightly inferior to the current ones, but I think it's worth the loss to prevent the owner from being impatient." said the housekeeper.

When Brother Francisco saw the first dish served was a golden-grilled tuna sprinkled with onions and pepper, he was no longer dissatisfied with it. Coupled with the quail that happened to be one serving for each person, and his favorite ham and eggs, the meal was no less than the celebration party he had on his day of release from prison.

Brother Faying enjoyed it with satisfaction.

The young man was obviously too nervous, so even when facing such a table of delicious food that he had no chance to eat, he didn't have much appetite. He ate two bites in a sloppy manner and left all the remaining portion for Brother Faying to enjoy.

After breakfast, the housekeeper took them to the entrance of the study. The study was on the second floor of the villa. The second floor and the first floor were connected by a spiral mahogany staircase. There were two huge portraits hanging on both sides of the study door, which depicted the story of the Dawn Angel fighting with the Night Demon. The picture on the left was depicting the Night Demon defeating the Dawn Angel, and the Demon King drove the Moon Chariot to drive the Dawn Angel to the West. The painting on the right depicted the Dawn Angel launching a counterattack at dawn, and the Archangel of Light drove the Sun Chariot tore the Night Demon Legion apart.

When working in the store, the boy's favorite thing is the artwork from the East. Those exquisite paintings have fascinated the boy countless times. Now, facing these two paintings, the boy has the same feeling.

Just as he was watching the paintings marvel, the door of the study opened.

The boy followed the old man into the study.

The study room was extremely spacious. What surprised the young man was that the study room was filled with various books against three walls, and an escalator was placed in the corner.

The bookshelf is so tall that it leads to the roof. Without that escalator, there is no way to reach the above floor.

Apart from the tall bookshelf, the most conspicuous thing in the study is the only side without a shelf.

In order to allow more light, all of that side was opened and a whole piece of glass was installed.

The boy has never seen such a large piece of glass before. Francis does not produce glass. Although there are one or two glass workshops, they will definitely not be able to produce such things.

Such huge glass can only be customized from Yilei.

However, glass is quite fragile, and transporting such large pieces of glass is even more difficult. The young man could not imagine how much it would cost to transport such a piece of glass to the transport merchant, but there is no doubt that it is much more expensive than the porcelain plate he broke.

The boy became more and more sure that this new owner was a famous nobleman.

"This was given to Paro Cathedral, the chief consul of Yile, to decorate the tall windows of the church. In order to prevent accidental damage to the glass during transportation, such large glass was made fifty more than 20 yuan. Fortunately, after the construction of the cathedral, I happened to want to build such a wall, so I bought it."

Just as the boy was surprised by the window, an old sound came from the diagonally above the right side of the back.

Everyone turned around and saw an old man with gray hair and thin face slowly climbing down on another escalator, holding two thick books under his arm.

The boy looked at the old man carefully, and he guessed that the old man was his new owner.

As time goes by, the old man's face is covered with wrinkles, gray hair, and the number of black hair is far less than that of white hair. A wide golden wire-framed eyes cover up the towering cheekbones. The old man's hands are thin and covered with thick calluses. If he had used this face and these hands, the young man would definitely not think that the old man was a rich man.

In his impression, even if a rich man like his old boss is thin, he will not be as thin as a branch with dry moisture.

Rich people know how to take care of themselves. No matter how old they have wrinkles, they will not look like they are weathered and aging.

However, the clothes worn by the old man proved that the old man was a very rich person, and the layout was exactly the same as the room. The old man's clothes were absolutely excellent, with fine work, simple decoration, but quite tasteful, and all of them were good things brought from Yi Lei. The crocodile leather belt alone was valuable.

"Is this the child you found?" the old man said to Peam.

"Yes, yes, I don't know if it's up to you?" Peam asked with a smile.

"Whether it's appropriate, please ask Eckert to go." said the old man.

"Isn't that Brother Franchise? Are you doing well recently? During the three months you've been away, I discussed with Peem. Peem said that you can stand alone, and he said that he is old, so you will gradually take responsibility for the matter in the future. You have to work harder." The old man said a few words to Brother Franchise, turned his head and ordered the butler, "Please invite Eckert here."

The housekeeper agreed to turn around and leave.

The old man sat on the leather lounge chair and read a book.

Peam and the other three had to stand quietly.

The study was quiet, and the young man didn't dare to let out a sigh, for fear of bringing a bad impression on the old man.

As for Brother Faying, it was much easier. When he heard the boss telling himself what the old man said yesterday, Brother Faying felt even more relieved. He really wanted to scream three times to show his congratulations.

After a long time, when Brother Faying gradually felt a little uncomfortable standing, the door of the study opened.
