For dinner, according to Lin Xiaoman's instructions, the housekeeper Edith held a small banquet in a medium-sized banquet hall to entertain the seven knights who had applied for the job and the ten knights who had originally belonged to the manor.
The food is extremely rich, with fine wine, fresh meat and desserts.
After finishing his meal in the main restaurant, Lin Xiaoman went to the banquet hall and demonstrated his leadership by giving some chicken soup for the soul about "getting rich and killing monsters".
After drinking the big bowl of chicken soup, all the knights who were going to Selley tomorrow felt like they were injected with chicken blood, their blood boiling as if they were going to dig for treasure.
Oh, not including the two actors.
The area of Harris is mostly of European descent. Shao Qi's original owner, Theodore, looked to be in his twenties. His facial features were typical European, deep and three-dimensional. He had emerald eyes and light golden hair, and was very handsome.
Virgil, the original owner of Long Jiujiu, looked very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with the same European face, blue eyes, and golden curly hair as her.
She has big curly hair and he has small curly hair.
It's not just the hair that's alike. If you look closely, the two original owners look quite similar.
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but have a thought, could it be that he was the illegitimate child of his stepfather who was left behind?
Okay, I thought too much.
After giving an impassioned speech on stage, Lin Xiaoman stepped down. The housekeeper Edith brought the seven knights she had recruited to meet her one by one so that she could get to know them.
"Ms. Erica, this is the Gaelic Knight..." Edith introduced in a formal manner.
Lin Xiaoman matched the face with the name, listened attentively, and paid more attention to the group.
In the chat group, as soon as she got off the platform, Long Jiujiu called out, "Xiao Linzi, you seem to have become more beautiful!"
Lin Xiaoman: "Well, the original owner is indeed very beautiful!"
Long Jiujiu: "No, it has nothing to do with the original owner. I just feel like you seem...more elegant?"
Lin Xiaoman: "The last time I saw you outside the world, you didn't praise me for being beautiful! Now that I'm in a bad shape, you know it? Don't worry, I promised to give you the treasury, and I won't break my promise, so there's no need to praise me!"
Long Jiujiu: "Tsk, if you don't believe me, forget it! Uncle Shao, don't you agree?"
Shao Qi: "Did you use any special charm props?"
Lin Xiaoman immediately remembered, "A friend gave me this before, and I used it. What is this?"
While speaking, Lin Xiaoman sent a screenshot.
Long Jiujiu: "Oh, so this is it! It's one of those rip-offs! I got a Freesia back then, and I had never seen one before, so I was really curious. But then I used it, and oh my god! I smell so good! I have a natural fragrance like a woman!! I was so scared that I had to soak in a hot spring in my own little world for five hundred years before I could get rid of this perfume!"
Lin Xiaoman: ...
All she could say was, "That's so pitiful. I sympathize with you. So what's the use of this tool? I don't have any fragrance."
Shao Qi explained, "This is from the [Lord's Floral Blessing] series, produced by an SS-level treasure chest. For the rose series, there's an 80% chance of adding temporary charm, a 19.99% chance of adding permanent charm, and a 1 in 10,000 chance of gaining special abilities while also adding charm."
Lin Xiaoman asked, "What special ability?"
Shao Qi: “I don’t know.”
Long Jiujiu: "One in ten thousand, go to sleep, it's impossible, only the lucky ones can have it! By the way, Xiao Linzi, who gave it to you? I'm telling you, Old Silver Coin loves to play romantic tricks on S-rank youngsters like you."
Lin Xiaoman: "I'm not stupid! The woman is the young lady I told you about last time. I gave her an S-level world coordinate, but she was embarrassed to take it for free, so I gave it to her as a gift."
Long Jiujiu: "Oh~ah, it's my turn..."
Returning to the scene, Lin Xiaoman saw Long Jiujiu approaching. Edith said, "This is Knight Virgil..."
"Oh my God, Miss Erica, you, you... I look like you, could I be the executive's child?!" Long Jiujiu came to meet relatives in a very exaggerated manner, with tears in his eyes.
In the chat group, Long Jiujiu said, "Quick, I'm your half-brother!"
Lin Xiaoman: ...
"Oh my god, is your name Virgil? You, you, look exactly like your father when he was young!"
Despite his awkward mood, Lin Xiaoman also used his full acting skills, with his eyes and eyebrows showing unexpected excitement.
"Ms. Erica! Are you my sister? I've always dreamed of having a sister! I never expected that I would actually meet you on this day. I couldn't help but feel the warmth of a sister..."
I acted seriously, cooperating with you. Lin Xiaoman expressed her true feelings, "Me too, Virgil. I feel so close to you the moment I see you. This must be fate. Even if you're not my biological brother, you must be my cousin. My father once told me that he had a younger brother who joined the army when he was young and then disappeared. You must be my uncle's son!!"
Lin Xiaoman opened his eyes and talked nonsense, and his lies were particularly smooth.
Lin Xiaoman: As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!
Shao Qi, who was originally standing behind Long Jiujiu, silently took a step back, away from the duo whose acting was explosive. It was obvious that he was embarrassed.
"Yes, that must be it, sister!!"
"younger brother!!"
Lin Xiaoman and Long Jiujiu performed a melodramatic "recognizing brothers" drama. No matter whether others believe it or not, their relationship was confirmed after the performance.
After the successful recognition of his relationship, Long Jiujiu's status suddenly improved, and the servants became respectful to him all of a sudden.
I met a few other recruited knights, and the scene returned to eating and drinking.
Because they had to set off early tomorrow morning, after eating and drinking, everyone went to rest.
The newly-minted brother, Long Jiujiu, moved into the main hall of the manor with Lin Xiaoman. Then, in the dead of night, while it was still dark, Long Jiujiu secretly moved the vault.
Lin Xiaoman: Oh, you’re letting a thief into the house!
…
The next day, Lin Xiaoman got up at dawn, wearing a light cycling outfit. Fortunately, the original owner Erica knew equestrianism, so Lin Xiaoman didn't need to take a car and could ride a horse by himself.
Of course, Erica's fancy pony was definitely useless, so Lin Xiaoman personally picked out a good horse.
Lin Xiaoman brought her maid who knew a little bit of fighting and her adopted brother Long Jiujiu to the gate of the manor where they were gathering. The sixteen-man knight team was ready to go.
Gather together and set off as a group.
Ride at full speed all the way.
From morning to afternoon, after taking a few breaks along the way, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally arrived at the edge of Selley.
Before our eyes, vast expanses of golden farmland are radiating the unique colors of the harvest season. The bountiful scene of spring flowers and autumn fruits makes people feel festive and happy.
The harvest represents food and the absence of death.
The harvest season should be the happiest time of year, but the villagers I saw along the way didn't have joy on their faces, only fear and anxiety...
