The castle in front of us was originally called Rock Castle.
Different from some very famous castles, the main function of this rock castle when it was first built was to be a military station similar to a small fortress!
Due to this function, the castle's walls are all made of stone. From a distance, there are some brown dirty spots in some places, which are all traces left by time.
But later on, perhaps because the Hill family disliked the name Rock Castle, they gradually changed it to the more straightforward Hill Family Manor.
The gate of the castle should have been made of wood in the past. Although Siphis had never seen the gate at that time, the iron gate now looks a little delicate, and there is a bit of disharmony with the castle.
When passing by the orange skull, Siphis realized that it was filled with candy.
This place is far away from the town, coupled with this weird-shaped skull. Although last night was Halloween carnival night, let alone children, even if some adults came here in the middle of the night and saw this atmosphere, they would not have the courage to come and get the candy, right?
The candies were laid out, with even a hint of morning mist left on the packaging.
As Siphis passed by, he grabbed a few candies with colorful packaging and stuffed them into his pocket first. Finally, he picked up one, peeled off the outer packaging, and put the candy into his mouth.
Since I happened to see the candy box at the entrance of the Earl's Manor today, I'd like to take one and try it!
"vomit!"
As soon as the candy was put into his mouth, a strange smell mixed with spicy taste went up Siphis' throat and into his nose, and finally the spicy taste rushed straight to his forehead.
Just as Siphis was about to spit out the candy, he looked up and his eyes met the doorman who opened the door.
"Uh... Hello, I'm Siphis. Butler Huth asked me to come. The Earl summoned me."
With a burning sensation in his throat, Siphis held a candy in his mouth and, trying to endure the spiciness, introduced himself to the doorman.
"Few people can get used to eating this kind of candy. If you don't like it, you can spit it out."
The old man at the door looked at the middle-aged man outside the door who was dressed a bit flashy with a strange look, and gave him some pertinent advice.
…
"Pooh!"
When Siphis heard what the doorman said, he spit out the candy decisively.
"Uh... Actually, this candy is quite delicious. I just thought that I would be meeting you soon, and it would be a bit rude to eat candy in front of you."
"Okay, no need to explain, come in!"
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
Siphis bowed and nodded to thank the doorman, then took out a candy from his pocket. After taking a closer look, he found that it was ginger candy!
Great Britain’s specialty candy from the underworld – ginger candy!
What a psycho!
Who puts this in the candy box at the door on Halloween Eve?
Apart from the fancy packaging, this thing has nothing to do with sugar in any other way.
If I have to explain the taste, it's like eating a piece of ginger wrapped in Fengyoujing!
If this thing were really eaten by a naughty kid in one bite, it would definitely leave a deep impression on him and he would remember it for the rest of his life.
…
"Siphis, what are you thinking about? Come here!"
"Ah... Oh, good morning, Butler Hutt! Am I not late?"
When Siphis saw Butler Hut calling him at the door of the hall, he quickly stuffed the ginger candy back into his pocket and trotted over to Butler Hut.
"Your Excellency is measuring me. Please come up with me."
…
This is the second time that Siphis has come to the Hill family's manor. Last time...
The last time was when the magazine was first established.
Siphis followed closely behind Butler Huth without looking around and walking lightly. The whole castle seemed very empty, and with poor lighting, it was eerie and depressing.
The two went all the way up to the third floor before finally reaching their destination, the bedroom door of the legendary second young master of the Hill family, the new Earl.
The wooden door was open, and as soon as he entered, Siphis was stunned by the spacious bedroom.
This was the first time he met the second young master in the family.
In the past, he might not even see the old earl once a year, and if there was anything, Butler Hut would arrange it for him directly.
I didn't expect that the first time I met the new earl would be in a place like this.
After walking around the living room outside the bedroom and entering the inner room, Siphis finally saw the legendary second young master, Allen Hill, beside the large European-style bed.
"Well……"
After just one glance, Siphis quickly lowered his head.
It was the first time he had seen such a scene: five or six men in suits holding measuring tapes surrounded the Earl and took his measurement.
Alan was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing loose pajamas with his hands open. Through the pajamas, one could vaguely see his streamlined figure, powerful muscles and some tiny scars on his body.
When Siphis looked over for the first time just now, he saw that the Earl's eyes were very sharp. Seeing this look, combined with the current environment, Siphis felt a little panicked.
"Your Excellency, Lord Carmarthen, I am Siphis, and it is a great honor to meet you."
…
"Hahaha! Didn't I tell you to just arrive at ten o'clock? You're here so early. There's no need to be so formal. Even though this is the first time we meet, I often hear Hu Te mention you."
"Sir, it is my honor to be summoned by you. It is only right that I come a little earlier."
"Okay! I asked you to come here today just to ask you, have you ever made a movie?"
“…”
Siphis looked up at Alan cautiously, seeing the smile on his face. He didn't quite understand the situation and could only answer truthfully.
"No……"
"Well... it's like this. Take a look at your film crew. When you go back, you can learn more about the film crew and see what's missing. According to the size of an ordinary crew, what kind of manpower and equipment are needed, report the list to Hu Te, and you... will be the person in charge of this new crew in the future."
"This... Your Excellency, do you want to invest in a film project?"
This sudden arrangement made Siphis a little confused.
"No...it's not just an investment, I want to shoot it myself!"
"???"
"Your Excellency wants to...make a movie yourself?"
Siphis didn't know what the second young master's movie had to do with him?
"Your future duties can be understood as assistant director, responsible for assisting me and passing on my requirements."
…
"Sir, may I ask what kind of film you are going to make?"
Although he had never made a movie, Siphis still had some understanding of the process of making a movie. He was afraid that the Earl was just playing around, that is, messing around.
We have nothing here. Just gather a small team of photographers and add a few more people, and we can make a movie?
"Don't worry! It's what you're good at, otherwise, why would I use you?"
…
Alan stood up and changed his posture according to the request of several tailors. A shoemaker in charge of making shoes squatted on the ground, brought over a small bucket filled with unknown substances, and motioned for Alan to put his feet in it.
"Sir... this is for making a foot model."
