Chapter 393: Smith (1)
Translator: 549690339
After the ox-cart came to a stop, Zhao Hai and the others got down from the cart. There were only two guards standing in front of the city Lord’s mansion. The two of them were wearing heavy infantry armors, and even their faces were covered. They stood there without moving, as if there were two sets of armor placed there.
There were a total of 20 steps from the ground of the square to the gate of the city Lord’s mansion. As Zhao Hai slowly walked towards the gate, he attracted the attention of many people. Those who were strolling or doing business in the square all looked at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn’t care about the gazes of those people. When he walked to the gate of the city Lord’s mansion, the two guards didn’t move at all, as if they didn’t see Zhao Hai. This made Zhao Hai very confused, but he still reached out and knocked on the door ring.
He tapped on the door knocker twice and stopped. At this moment, the door opened and a man in a manservant’s uniform walked out. He looked to be in his thirties and had an ordinary face. He glanced at Zhao Hai and bowed,”What’s the matter, Sir?”
“A friend asked me to deliver this letter to the city Lord, please pass it on,” Zhao Hai said with a smile. Then, he took out the letter written by Iber.
The servant took the letter and glanced at it. Then, his expression changed. He opened the door and said,”Sir, please come to the reception room and have a seat. I will immediately send the letter in.” Then, he led Zhao Hai into the reception room.
As soon as Zhao Hai entered the mansion, he realized how big it was. There was a row of houses as soon as he entered. This row of houses was the reception area for visitors. Behind this row of houses was a martial arts field, but there was no one there at the moment. After passing the martial arts field, there was another row of houses. There was a sign hanging on the house that said ” business room. &Quot; it couldn’t be seen any further in, but the part he could see was already very big. It was about the same size as the square outside.
Zhao Hai walked into a reception room. The reception room was quite good. There was a set of sofas and some calligraphy and paintings on the wall. After he entered, a servant immediately brought Keya to him. Then, the servant quietly retreated out of the door. Everything seemed so well-behaved.
At the sight of this situation, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but nod inside. From the performance of these manservants, he could tell that the members of the Karche family were very well-behaved and had taught their subordinates well. They were indeed one of the top aristocrats on the continent.
Zhao Hai was not in a hurry. He sat in the reception and quietly drank his Coke. When he arrived at the city Lord’s mansion, he did not feel that uneasy anymore. Anyway, he had done what he needed to do. The rest would depend on the attitude of the carci family.
When Zhao Hai started to drink his second cup of Keya, footsteps came from outside the door. The servant who opened the door for Zhao Hai pushed open the door of the reception room again. Behind the servant was an old man who looked to be in his 60s or 70S. He was dressed in a silk steward’s uniform without a single wrinkle. His hair was neatly combed, as if every strand had been carefully taken care of.
He had a very serious face. Perhaps it was because he always had a sullen face, but his face was full of vertical wrinkles and his hair was a little gray. However, his eyes were bright and full of spirit, giving people a feeling of a bright light.
Zhao Hai quickly stood up. The old man also walked to Zhao Hai and bowed, ” “Hello, Sir. I’m the manager of the city Lord’s mansion. The city Lord wants to see you. Please, Sir.”
“I’ll have to trouble you, Sir,” Zhao Hai quickly bowed. After saying that, he followed the steward out.
After the two of them walked out of the reception room, Zhao Hai saw the manservant walking towards the gate of the mansion. Therefore, Zhao Hai became reassured. It seemed that the manservant had gone to make arrangements for Laura and the others.
The steward was obviously a very serious person. He didn’t say a word to Zhao Hai along the way. The two of them just walked silently into the city Lord’s mansion.
Zhao Hai also took the opportunity to size up the city Lord’s mansion. The closest house to the mansion was the reception room. After walking in, they passed a martial arts field, which was the affairs Department. After that, they passed another martial arts field. However, there were people practicing martial arts in this martial arts field. After passing this martial arts field, there was another row of houses with a sign on it. The sign said ” Management Office. &Quot;
After passing through the administration office, they arrived at the second gate of the mansion. After entering the second gate, they arrived at a square where a group of Warriors were practicing martial arts. Behind the square, there was a row of houses with the words “Secretariat” written on them. After passing through the Secretariat, they arrived at a small square. However, there was no one practicing martial arts in this small square. There was only a fountain with flowers and plants on the side, which made it very quiet.
There was a small building behind the small square. The small building only had two floors and looked like a small villa. It was very beautiful.
The old man didn’t stop and brought Zhao Hai into the small building. There was a large office on the first floor. The office was divided into two areas. One area was for office use, and the other area seemed to be for receiving guests. A middle-aged man was standing in the reception area.
The middle-aged man wasn’t tall and looked a little thin. However, he looked very imposing. Yes, imposing.
This person had a head of black hair, white skin, and a square face. His face wasn’t big, but it was very square. His facial features were regular, and there was a kind of superior aura between his brows. Just by standing there, people would feel that he was full of vigor and extraordinary.
