Succubus' Manor

Chapter 133

The slave owners hadn't sent their slaves yet, but the merchants sent gifts together. Giving gifts to the lords is a custom that everyone tacitly understands, and all the gifts are of great value. , Chi Yan can give them more convenience.

It's just that Chi Yan thought it was troublesome, and the merchant didn't see him, so he accepted the gift.

After Kadi took people to count all the gifts, he only needed to look at the arranged gift list.

"A bag of rubies?" Chi Yan stopped flipping his hands when he saw this line. Gifts like gems are very conspicuous among the gold and silverware, and you can notice them at a glance.

Kadi stood behind Chi Yan: "He's a foreigner, he seems to have just been here not long ago."

Cardi added: "Looks like a young woman."

Chi Yan: "..."

Then he knows who it is.

The outsider who talked to him in the hotel came from Carlos, the land of gems. He thought that the other party had left Stettin, but Chi Yan remembered that the other party was not a businessman. How could he follow a group of people at this time? What about the businessman giving him a gift?

And it's not easy to send gifts into the castle, and Chi Yan doesn't accept everyone's gifts.

The entry and exit of gifts is now managed by the old housekeeper. He likes to do this job. He has gold, silver and treasures under his hands. He doesn't have his own home, so he has long regarded Chi Yan as his closest relative in his heart, so Chi Yan Yan wasn't worried at all that the old housekeeper would enrich himself.

Chi Yan touched his chin: "Why is he giving me a gift? Who brought him?"

Cardi lowered his head: "It wasn't sent by the merchant, but Amelia insisted on letting me stuff it in."

He only took it after seeing how these gemstones were polished to shine.

It's not that Chi Yan will accept the gift from someone. Usually, the more familiar businessman summons the small businessmen who are attached to him, and then gives the gift together, discussing with each other what to give, so as not to overwhelm the limelight of the big businessman. There is a set of strict rules. Requirements and standards, rarely appear midway stoppage.

Chi Yan didn't need to think about it to know the purpose of the other party's gift. He said to Cardi: "A bag of rubies is not cheap. You can send someone to come and ask him to come to the castle to see me tomorrow afternoon."

Cardi bent over: "Yes."

Chi Yan suddenly asked: "How are the servants in the castle doing now? Are you listening?"

Speaking of which, Amos has not appeared in front of Chi Yan for a long time.

There was a smile on Kadi's face, a bit of the arrogance of a winner: "Everyone is obedient."

He has put in a lot of effort. He was so busy every day before, and he had to find time to argue with the servants. The servants are not monolithic, but because of Kadi and the others, there is a temporary unity.

But this kind of unity is not long-lasting. Once life is stabilized and there is no sense of tension and urgency, they will remember the previous conflicts and struggles, and Kadi only needs to add fuel to the flames, grab a few people to work with him, and get Those who benefit will naturally feel proud and feel that they are different from other servants.

Those who have not benefited will have red eyes with jealousy, and the conflict will become deeper and deeper. When the servants see the radish, they will become donkeys driven by the radish.

Now Kadi has no shortage of manpower. In a word, he is still very useful in the castle.

But Kadi dare not relax - the old butler often nagged, and said that if Kadi made a mistake, he still has a lot of people who can be used in his hands, even if he doesn't have one, he can let Kady go to exchange with Dort .

Chi Yan also noticed the changes in Kadi. If he had to say it, Kadi became more confident.

Cardi made himself so serious before, maybe it was because he didn't have confidence, so he could only put a shell on himself.

"That's good." Chi Yan stood up, and he patted Cady on the shoulder, "You never let me down."

Cardy, who always tried to keep a straight face, finally couldn't hold it this time, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, and his eyes were terribly bright.

Then he saluted Chi Yan, left the room with one hand and one foot, and asked the servant he had dispatched the most recently to tell Benjamin to come over tomorrow.

The guy who got this task was a young man named Ryan. He was considered a good-looking man among the servants. He had a set of brown hair and a healthy wheat color. Although there were a few freckles on his face, he was not ugly, but it made him more attractive. Some naive youthful temperament.

Ryan nodded excitedly.

It was not easy for him to sneak into Cady's side, and he was always just doing some small things, wandering around the castle all day long.

After finally being able to go out and do things for the lord, he almost jumped up happily, but he hadn't completely lost his mind, Ryan leaned his head down, saluted Cady halfway, and then said: "Then I'm going out. "

Cardi has no expression: "Go."

Cady watched Ryan's quick steps with a smile on his face.

He felt like a shepherd dog, and the servants in the castle were sheep. He drove the sheep and let the sheep graze in a fixed place.

It's just that sheep don't think they are sheep. Sheep thinks they are foxes, with a smart head and a naturally vicious heart.

But he knows he is a dog.

Dogs are good animals, intelligent, loyal, protective, and stronger than sheep.

Ryan was walking at first, and then turned into a trot. A servant with a good relationship stopped him at the end of the corridor, put his arms around his neck and asked, "What good happened, the road will not go well."

Ryan gasped for breath, and said with a happy face: "Brother Cardi asked me to call a gift giver to come over tomorrow."

Several people who stopped him had different expressions, and the expressions on their faces were not very good, but someone still answered: "You and Kadi have a really good relationship, Kadi thinks of you in everything, maybe you will have the opportunity to become My lord's valet."

Valet!What an honor!

Ryan also thought so in his heart. He is young, powerful, and thinks he has a lot of brains, and he is not ugly. As long as he does more things for the lord and pleases Kadi, maybe Kadi will bring himself into the house when he is happy. Went to the Lord Lord.

Although the valet sounds like a valet, it has actually stepped into the circle of nobles.

The noble lord's favorite personal servant can ask politics!

The butler takes care of the property of the lord, while the valet is responsible for handling some troublesome matters for the nobles.

But the so-called troublesome matters are all major matters, matters between various nobles, or matters of governing the city-state.

The valet is also, in a sense, the one in power, at the very top.

Ryan whispered, "I don't know. I can only do what I can."

The servants laughed and said a few words, and after Ryan left, they changed their faces.

"Can a fool like him be a valet? Then I can be a nobleman."

"Just kissing Cardi's ass every day."

"Cardy may be blind, and he fell in love with Ryan."

The male servants said a few sour words, and they all felt that they should be the personal servants, and they hated Ryan in their hearts.

Sometimes people's feelings are so complicated. When people in the distance soar into the sky, they will only feel envious, but when the people around them are lucky, they will only be jealous.

Not only do I not expect others to be good, but I also hope that others will fall, and the worse the fall, the better.

"If only he could run faster. If he breaks his leg, he won't be able to go anywhere."

They all thought so, they just couldn't say it.

Chi Yan saw Benjamin the next day. Benjamin was still the same, with a young girl's face, and a slight sadness between his brows. He was not a passionate girl, but he had the temperament of sister Lin. But fortunately, it is still healthy, so there is no need to worry about sticking out if there is a disagreement.

Benjamin either looked at the floor or Chi Yan the whole time, but he didn't look at Kadi standing next to Chi Yan and the occasional footman who passed by.

"I... lived in a cave when I came here before." Benjamin seemed to miss the point, he spoke slowly, "I didn't know where to go at that time, and the food I brought with me was almost gone. , clean water will be gone, panic and fear."

Banjamin rambled on for a long time, but Chi Yan didn't interrupt him, and listened patiently to him, but Chi Yan didn't listen too carefully, and was still thinking about what to eat tonight.

After Banjamin finally finished talking about his grievances, he finally found the point: "There was another strange smell in that cave, so I took people inside and found this."

Benjamin took out a cloth bag from his arms, pulled the rope that tied the bag, and took out a piece of brown-yellow ore. This ore was dusty, but it was not common. Benjamin said: "I thought it was Topaz, but it smelled strange when I got it."

Benjamin: "My lord, if this is a new gem, it must be very valuable."

Benjamin looked at Chi Yan with anticipation in his eyes.

He has nothing to rely on, he has nothing, his parents and brothers don't care about him, and they don't want him, he has no home, and he doesn't know where he should go, he is a person with no destination.

So he urgently needs to find a home for himself.

Chi Yan didn't have much energy, but he still gave him face - for that bag of rubies, he still had to give him some face.

Cardi received Chi Yan's signal, went to Benjamin's to get the yellow ore, and handed it to Chi Yan.

After Chi Yan took it, he felt that the gem didn't feel very good, but he couldn't describe it in detail.

He remembered that Benjamin said that the gem had a strange smell, so he handed the ore to the tip of his nose.

It was a very familiar smell.

It's the smell of sulfur.

Chi Yan's eyes lit up in an instant, and he immediately stood up, walked quickly in front of Benjamin, then grabbed Benjamin's hand, and put his face in front of Benjamin.

"Where?"

Banjamin was already fooled by Chi Yan's enthusiastic actions: "Huh?"

Chi Yan: "Where did you find this thing?"

Benjamin swallowed, Chi Yan was too close to him, he could smell Chi Yan's body, and he could see the hair on Chi Yan's face.

He blushed and whispered, "I remember the place, I'll draw a map for you."

Chi Yan's eyes lit up a few more times.

A talent who can draw maps!

I must be the chosen one!
