"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard walked to a quiet-looking street and stopped in front of a dark black mansion.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk…”
Reaching out his hand, he knocked on the door gently.
"Squeak!"
Almost as soon as he put his hand down, the door was opened quickly, as if the person inside the door had been listening to the movement outside.
A young man in his twenties appeared and looked at him with bright eyes.
Richard glanced at the other person and started to introduce himself. In his previous contact with the black-faced old man Oscar, Oscar gave him an address and asked him to come to this mansion after coming to Xiaya. Tell your name, and someone will naturally take the initiative to arrange a meeting between the two of you.
Just as Richard was about to speak, he didn't expect that the other party's eyes flashed and he spoke first, with unpretentious surprise and excitement: "Are you Mr. Richard?!"
"Uh..." Richard was a little stunned for a moment and didn't know how to speak. After a second, he nodded, "If you are talking about Richard from Faroe, then I am."
"It's really you, Mr. Richard, please come in, come in quickly!" the young man said, and finally added, "By the way, just call me Mas. I'm the one responsible for receiving you."
The young man named Mas led Richard through the door with a somewhat uncomfortable and aggressive respect and enthusiasm.
This made Richard couldn't help but think of a waiter in a chain hot pot restaurant on Earth that is famous for its service.
After entering, there is a huge courtyard with green lawns and exquisite fountains. Richard noticed that there were several young men in dark gray shorts in the corner. After seeing him being led in by Mas, they all looked surprised and excited. It really didn't look like they were pretending. The next moment, Mas waved his hand gently, and several young people quickly ran away in different directions, as if to inform someone or arrange something.
Richard was a little confused, but after all, this was the place arranged by Oscar, and it would definitely not be harmful to him. So he didn't ask any questions, and patiently walked deeper into the mansion with Mas, ready to see what the other party would do.
After walking for about a few hundred meters in this way, he passed through a small circular door, and his eyes suddenly opened up. Richard found that he had entered another courtyard.
The yard covers thousands of square meters, with neatly manicured lawns on the ground, a small fountain in each corner, and a pond in the center.
A gorgeous and clean three-story stone building stands on the north side of the yard. Looking through the window, you can see that the furniture and furnishings inside are all available and the style is exquisite.
In addition, a group of servants, divided into two rows of men and women, were waiting at the door.
"Sir, this is the temporary residence we have arranged for you in Xiaya. You can live here until you meet Mr. Oscar. All the things inside have been replaced with new ones, and they are also the most expensive ones. I hope you can Satisfied." Mas stopped in the yard to introduce.
Pointing to the servants at the door, Maas said: "Next, if you have any requests during your stay, you can make them to them. They are your servants—six male servants, six maids—twelve in total. , will meet any of your requirements, yes, any. If they violate your requirements, you can tell me directly, don't worry, I will use means to make them obedient."
Having said this, Mas's face turned slightly ferocious, and then quickly regained his composure. Obviously, he was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Richard looked at the servants at the door and found that the group of people were a little scared after listening to Mas's words. They looked at him with fear and respect, trying to appear docile.
The standard of this reception is a bit high. Not to mention the courtyard, the twelve servants alone are not something that ordinary nobles can enjoy... Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought.
It wasn't that he felt guilty, he was just a little surprised. Originally, he thought it would be the same as the previous contact with the spider web, extremely mysterious and hidden, but it turned out not to be the case.
He tilted his head and looked at Mas. Out of caution, Richard confirmed and asked: "Are you sure this is really for receiving me, Mas? And not for hosting another Richard, my namesake?" "
"There is no mistake, sir." Mas said seriously, "I have your image in my hand. Although it is not very similar, since you are from Faroe, it is completely correct."
I had met the man from the spider web before, and it was not surprising that he drew the image from memory... Well, after seeing this, it was indeed to receive him... Richard blinked, thought for a while and looked at Mas: "Okay Well, since you are hosting me, I won’t be polite. But before checking in, can I ask for some changes?”
"Of course, sir." Mas said without hesitation, "You are a distinguished guest. Your request is my order. Any changes are acceptable. If you are not satisfied with this courtyard, I can take you there immediately. Go to a few more places until you’re satisfied.”
"That's not necessary." Richard waved his hand, "This courtyard is very nice. The change I want is to let them leave and I can live in this courtyard by myself." When Richard spoke, he pointed to the door. servant.
Mas's eyes widened a bit, and he was a little surprised, and asked in confusion: "Why is this, sir? Are you dissatisfied with these servants? Maybe I didn't say something clearly before, and it was my mistake.
I said before that everything has been replaced with new ones, including them. They are all new and have not been used by others. Adults do not have to have any grudges and can use them with confidence. And they are absolutely loyal. Although they are not deaf and dumb, they will not reveal any secrets about you, otherwise they will really become dumb and deaf. "
"Mars, you misunderstood me." Richard explained, "I'm not dissatisfied or wary of them, it's just that I like peace and quiet and don't want to be disturbed by other people where I live."
"But sir, you can definitely use them as tools, as long as..." Halfway through the words, Mas saw Richard's firm gaze, stopped talking, stopped persuading, and changed his words, "Okay, sir, I'll do it right away. Just evacuate them. However, before evacuating, I beg you, sir, to leave one person behind. Those who remain can stand at the door without entering the yard. This way, sir, you can come to me if you have any questions. There’s an errand boy, isn’t there?”
"Okay." Richard nodded. He was not too stubborn and agreed.
Taking a step forward, Richard walked towards the stone building. After walking a few steps, he thought of something. He looked at Mas and said, "By the way, if it's not necessary, don't disturb me while I'm here. In addition, if you can, arrange for me to be with you as soon as possible." Your Lord Oscar’s meeting.”
"Yes, sir." Mas said seriously, "I will try my best to do it for you, but..."
Halfway through the words, Mas looked a bit embarrassed.
"Huh? Just what?" Richard asked doubtfully.
