Chapter 623 Castle
Under the leadership of Butler Jason, David, the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin, and Priest Forbes entered Luce Castle.
Really walking into the castle, David saw the ruins of the castle, most of the material of this castle is rock used, but there is also some wood.
Wood will rot over time, so maintenance is required.
In the Castle of Luce, David saw damage to many wooden positions. These damages cannot be generated in a few years or a decade. In his opinion, the Castle of Luce has probably fallen long ago.
Even the cost of maintaining Luce Castle could not be paid to make such a castle what it looks like.
"Butler Jason, the condition of Luce Castle is very poor, how much gold coins do you need for repairs?" David frowned and asked Butler Jason beside him.
Hearing David's question, Butler Jason glanced at the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin and Priest Forbes beside David with some embarrassment, and he hesitated.
"Let's talk about anything, these two are my friends!" David waved his hand without any intention of concealing it.
"The family has no more gold coins of the gods, and even the servants have been scattered a few days ago, just to save some expenses!" Butler Jason replied a little embarrassed.
"You don't need to think about the divine gold coins, just tell me how many divine gold coins are needed to maintain the castle?" David didn't expect the Luce family to be so poor, he shook his head and asked again.
The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin and Priest Forbes were also a little embarrassed. When they described to David in the Interstellar Federation, they described the Luce family as a very good family with continuous output.
But the Luce family in front of them was so poor, which they didn't expect.
"According to the normal standard maintenance, two thousand gold coins are needed. Of course, it only takes at least six hundred gold coins to repair the surface very beautifully!" Butler Jason seemed to be very familiar with this number. As soon as David asked, he blurted out.
"It's repaired according to the two thousand gold coins of the gods, and I'll go get some gold coins tomorrow!" David was relieved. The two thousand coins of the gods were not expensive, and they were still within his tolerance.
David does not know the consumption level of the Great World of Gods, but for such a huge castle, only 2,000 gold coins are needed for a major overhaul. It seems that the price of Ambassador Cumming using 100 million federal credit points to exchange 10,000 gold coins is quite Not too dark.
Butler Jason was a little puzzled, but he knew that Arthur was the illegitimate son of the old Baron Luce in the Federation of Stars.
This time, I came back from the Interstellar Federation to inherit the title. How could there be so many gold coins of the gods?
However, he was still very happy in his heart, no matter how the divine gold coin came, it could bring a new atmosphere to Luce Castle.
"Let the two of you see a joke!" David turned his head and said embarrassedly to the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin and Priest Forbes.
"We didn't expect the Luce family to be so difficult!" Priest Forbes said with a wave of his hand.
"Butler Jason, take us to sit first!" David instructed Butler Jason.
"Please come with me!" Butler Jason led the way. After entering the hall, he pushed open the door on the left side of the hall. Inside was a clean and clean reception room.
The layout of the reception room is very luxurious, giving people a very deep feeling.
There is a chandelier full of crystals on the top of the head, the center of the chandelier exudes white light, and then through the crystal pendant, the entire reception room is illuminated.
David glanced at the chandelier, but did not see how the central white light was lit.
"Thank you two for accompanying me to Luce Castle, sit down and rest first, and have a meal together in a while!" David invited.
"Alright, it just happens to be noon soon, we will have lunch here!" Priest Forbes agreed with a smile.
The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin also nodded. Their mission was over. Because of the previous matter, they had some friendship with David, which made them want to chat with David.
Butler Jason heard that David wanted to keep the two of them for lunch, and there was an uneasy look on his face.
"Butler Jason, I don't think the Luce family is so poor that they can't even prepare a lunch, right?" David saw Butler Jason's unease and asked.
"There are not many ingredients in the castle, because I didn't expect you to come at this time, we haven't prepared the ingredients yet!" Butler Jason replied with a wry smile.
In fact, any aristocratic family will prepare at least a week's amount of food ingredients, and will not care about some waste at all, because these wastes are the basic living consumption of the nobles.
Of course, the situation of the Luce family is also understandable. For many days, there is no family owner, and all the nobles in the family are gone. In addition, the family background is very thin, and they can't prepare any ingredients.
"Fortunately, I'm ready!" David said as he took out ten plates from the space ring, all of which were filled with steaming hot dishes.
These dishes were prepared by David when he was in the Interplanetary Federation. They were prepared for emergencies. I didn't expect the Luce family to be so poor, and now they can be used to entertain friends.
"Take these down and bring them to the table later!" David explained, placing ten plates on the table beside him.
Butler Jason hurriedly called the servant over to take the plate away. He felt that it was too rude today.
"The delicious dishes are made by the chef of the Interstellar Federation, right?" The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin took a sniff and asked with saliva in his mouth.
He is also a person who loves food, and he has seen a lot of delicious food in the great world of God, but none of it made him feel the urge to eat just by smelling it.
"I'm afraid it's not something that ordinary chefs can do, and the top chefs in the Temple of Justice do not have such cooking skills!" Forbes Priest's perception is more sensitive, he expressed his opinion.
"Thanks for the compliment, I usually like food, and those dishes are made by me!" David said with a smile when he heard the two of them.
"God, how can you still have time to practice cooking while you are so young and extraordinary?" Priest Forbes asked in disbelief.
Gershwin's Minister of Noble Affairs is also not very convinced, but he also knows that David has no need to lie.
Cooking skills are not so easy to improve, in addition to talent, it takes a long time to practice.
As a well-known researcher of the Interstellar Federation, Priest Forbes believes that David can achieve dazzling achievements in both research and cultivation at such a young age.
"It's just a hobby. I'll ask the two of you to judge one or two later when we dine!" David said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a good taste of the food later!" Gershwin's Minister of Aristocratic Affairs said with a big smile, he and Forbes looked at each other again, and then continued: "Baron Arthur, we will stay in the castle for three This is the only time we can help you!"
"If you can stay, of course it's too late for me to welcome you, but is there a problem?" David asked inexplicably.
"The Luce family is a little troublesome, we stay here, the other party will not dare to come over until there is no knight who can deal with us, plus the identities of the two of us, even if the other party is a noble, we must consider the existence behind us! ' Priest Forbes replied softly.
Priests of Forbes are priests of the Temple of Justice and cannot intervene in disputes with nobles.
The same is true for the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin. He is only a minister of the Noble Affairs Office.
"Thank you, I will try to deal with it as soon as possible!" David bowed and thanked.
After seeing the environment here, David felt that this was his home.
You must know that the castle is built with rock, which is equivalent to giving David a space to use 'underground sneak' anytime, anywhere.
David is fighting here. He can attack and defend. His actual combat power is much stronger than his displayed strength.
As long as the hostile forces do not have Sky Knights, then the other party will not pose much threat to him.
Even David thought that the other party would send more people over, and he just needed some souls to enhance the knowledge of the great world of God.
"Baron Arthur, don't think about doing it yourself. You are already a noble. If the other party does too much, you can live in Jianmo City for a while. In Jianmo City, the other party would not dare to take the initiative!" Priest Forbes advised.
He knew that David had just been promoted to extraordinary, and he was afraid that David did not know the strength gap between extraordinary and knight.
To be able to force the Luce family so miserably, the power behind it is naturally stronger, at least at the level of the earth knight.
David nodded. Although he would not do what the Forbes priest said, he still thanked the Forbes priest.
"I know this. When it's lunch time, let's go to eat!" David didn't continue to chat, he stood up and greeted.
Gershwin's Minister of Aristocratic Affairs, an ordinary man, stood up faster than the Forbes priest who was a knight. He couldn't wait to rush to the restaurant, but such a thing was too rude, it was impossible for him to do it. of.
Butler Jason brought the three to the restaurant. David looked at the restaurant and found that he did not see Andrew Knight.
"Where's Knight Andrew? Invite him to come and dine together!" David told Butler Jason.
Knight Andrew was not allowed to accompany him before, because he was chatting with two friends, and Knight Andrew participated rashly, which might be a little embarrassing.
But at this moment, David needs to cultivate a relationship with Andrew Knight, and eating together is the fastest way to friendship. .
"Yes, I'm going to invite Knight Andrew over!" Butler Jason exhaled softly and said.
Knight Andrew is the last knight of the Luce family. If David can't get on well with Knight Andrew, then this last knight may leave the Luce family.
Knight Andrew came over quickly. After he entered, he bowed to several people in the restaurant, and then sat down at the last position.
When the servants took the dishes that had been allocated and put them in front of everyone, several people's faces showed awakened expressions.
The relationship between Gershwin's Minister of Aristocratic Affairs, Forbes Priest and David was good, and he relaxed in front of delicious food without paying too much attention to etiquette.
The two of them swept away their dishes as fast as they could, and even the plates were able to clear people.
Only knight Andrew couldn't let go. Although he often showed intoxication during meals, he quickly woke up and tried his best to maintain the cultivation of a knight.
"Baron Arthur, if it wasn't for the urgent pursuit from the temple, I would like to stay with you for a few more days!" Priest Forbes said with a smile after finishing his meal.
"Yeah, I've eaten the dishes you have here, how can I eat those ordinary food after I go back!" The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin also nodded and said.
"Well, if you stay for a few days, I will prepare dishes for you for a few days!" David continued with a smile.
"Great!" Gershwin's Minister of Noble Affairs said with a smile.
After a lunch, Butler Jason took the two to the residence, leaving only David and Andrew Knight in the restaurant.
"Knight Andrew, go to the Temple of Fortune with me tomorrow to get some divine gold coins!" David explained to Knight Andrew.
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Knight Andrew bowed in response.
David is not used to the etiquette of the great world of God. He is not familiar with the etiquette here, but if he wants to live here, he must understand these. After he has the gold coins of God, he is going to ask the etiquette teacher to give him advice.
After many days of sailing and riding over from Jianmo City, a few people still rested for a while after lunch.
David was also led by a maid to the master bedroom. Except for the new bedding, all the furnishings were antique.
It can be said that it has a noble heritage, or it can be said that the furniture has not been updated for too long.
David waved the maid to step back. He pushed open the balcony door of the master bedroom and came to the balcony.
This balcony can see most of the castle, as well as the view outside the castle in the distance.
David didn't want to look at the scenery, and finally no one could disturb him. He recruited the shadow attendant.
One of his hands was on the shoulder of the Shadow Servant, and his mind entered the Shadow Servant's body.
The Shadow Servant absorbed the soul of the Heretic God believer. Although the strength of the Heretic God believer was not as good as that of Forbes Priest, that was only the reason for their professional rivalry, and the realm was not much different from Forbes Priest.
According to David's observation, the Cthulhu believer has the ability to control puppets and the field, and there may be other abilities that have not been shown, but the Cthulhu believer obviously does not have the ability to close combat.
This can also explain that after the priest of Forbes got close, the followers of the evil god lost their ability to fight back, and they directly detonated the 'Starship Flying Boat' and perished.
David didn't care about the identity of the evil god believer, he just wanted to obtain the knowledge of the great world of God that he urgently needed from the soul of the evil god believer.
He ordered the Shadow Attendant to list the knowledge light balls of the followers of the evil god that day separately, and a white knowledge light ball appeared in his attention.
'Puppet technique (requires belief in the ancient god Menken)', seeing this introduction, David was extremely disappointed.
Thank you "Holy Man Haowen" for the reward of 100 starting coins! ! Thanks to "Six Trees" for the reward of 100 starting coins! ! Thanks to "Danxinghuo" for the reward of 100 starting coins! ! Thank you "White Hot Hot" for the reward of 100 starting coins! ! Thanks to "Little zzg Killing God" for the reward of 500 starting coins! !
