Chapter 229: A Guest

Ethan did not comment on Sophia's suggestion to teach the Duke's Mansion a lesson.

In his heart, he did not want to oppress the Duke's Mansion anymore. It would be useless to force people into a corner.

However, he had already made a decision on how to deal with the [Harvest Goddess Statue].

But everything would have to wait until he met Leon tomorrow before he could deal with it.

At this time, he glanced at the sky and found that it was already late.

No matter how unfaithful a man is outside, he still has to go home.

So Ethan stood up and said goodbye to Sophia.

As for the curse wizard's notebook, he originally wanted to give it to Sophia, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to take it with him.

It was not that he wanted to learn it, nor was he worried about the magic traps in the notebook.

But he was worried that Sophia would learn the curse magic and it was not certain who would use it on.

...

When Ethan landed from the sky at the door of his own manor, it was already early in the morning.

But he saw that the light in his study was still on.

"Angelina?"

When he was wondering, his hands suddenly trembled unconsciously.

Ethan was startled, because this was not his intention, but was caused by the shock of the sword spirit.

Ethan immediately knew who was coming.

"I thought I was already a sword saint, and I should not be afraid anymore, but I didn't expect the result to be the same."

After a self-deprecating remark, Ethan walked into the house.

But he didn't see the man when he entered the study. Only Lili was waiting for him in the room.

When Lili saw Ethan, she immediately ran forward and whispered: "A guest came secretly.

He told me that he was your friend and asked me to arrange a remote room for him.

He seemed to be very powerful. When he appeared, everyone was frozen like a stone.

And he was talking to me in front of everyone, but no one else seemed to see him."

Lili's voice was a little trembling, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

Ethan patted Lili's shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, he is really a friend.

Has everything been arranged for him?"

When Lili heard that he was a friend, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Arrange him in the quietest room on the third floor, and all the daily necessities are ready."

"You did a good job!" Ethan nodded: "Don't let anyone get close to the third floor in the future. You go to clean the room for him personally and deliver three meals.

And keep everyone's mouths shut. I don't want anyone to spread this.

Can you do it?"

"Don't worry, Lord Ethan!" Lili nodded: "According to your instructions, I have quietly replaced the original servants. The current staff are all carefully selected by me.

They are very obedient, hardworking, and tight-lipped."

Speaking of this, Lili paused, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "However, there are two people I don't know what to do with?

The old butler and his son.

Since I started to change people, the old butler always told the newcomers about you, and inadvertently revealed that he was your savior.

I don't want people to think that Lord Ethan is an ungrateful person, so I have never dared to touch them."

Ethan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

In fact, since he came back, he has been thinking about replacing all the previous servants, and he did so.

Of course, just change, and change slowly without affecting the operation of the manor.

From beginning to end, Ethan never thought of taking revenge on them.

A great swordsman took revenge on several servants who had bullied him. People with childish minds would feel relieved, but in fact it was a joke.

Of course, Ethan didn't take revenge, not because he was worried about being laughed at by others, but simply because he thought it was meaningless.

The reason for changing is not revenge, but because he took into account that these people had the experience of bullying their masters. They dared before, and if they had children in the future, they would dare to do the same.

Although changing people can't necessarily prevent such things from happening, the manor needs a brand new atmosphere.

Since it's a new atmosphere, we must change everything.

This includes the old butler.

In fact, Ethan also has a headache about how to deal with the old butler, after all, he did save him.

But one thing is one thing.

Facts have also proved that he is not a good butler. It is precisely because he did not train the servants well that the servants bullied the master.

So they can't stay.

Ethan smiled bitterly: "Find a time to have a good chat with him. As long as his request is not too excessive, satisfy him."

"Okay! Lord Ethan! Within 300 gold, do you think it's okay?"

Ethan nodded without hesitation.

Just as the two were talking,

"Dong Dong"

there was a knock on the door.

Ethan smiled slightly and went to open the door himself.

A tall figure came into view.

"We meet again, Knight Ethan, no, Earl Ethan!" The visitor said with a smile.

"It's an honor to see you again, Your Excellency the Knight King! However, I hope you can still call me Ethan."

"Then please don't use the Knight King, just call me Gonzalez."

Yes, the person who came is the most recognized swordsman in the world today: [King of Knights] Gonzalez.

After Sofia was attacked by Afren, Ethan wrote a letter to the Duke of the North.

After all, the Duke said in person that if there was any news about the [Fraudster], he would notify him.

He notified him.

So the Knight King came.

But he came a little late.

Of course, Ethan would not be stupid enough to blame others, but would warmly invite them to come in for tea.

But at this moment, he found Lili standing motionless.

It turned out that although Lili didn't know who the King of Knights was or what the title meant, she knew that a person who could be called a "king" must be extraordinary.

Because he was so shocked, he was a little stunned for a while.

She didn't react until Ethan coughed and quickly started preparing tea for the two of them.

The King of Knights sat down on the sofa chair, patted the sofa gently, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I've been to the palace and the Elf Temple. No matter where they are, the decorations are beautiful, but it's just not comfortable to live there.

But Sir Ethan, your place is different. Everything is so humane and extremely comfortable.

If possible, I hope to eat that food called dumplings again tomorrow. "

"Haha!" Ethan smiled: "It's spring now, and it won't be long before the severe cold in the north will dissipate.

Our family’s ships will continue to sail to the north.

What is here, Northland will also have. "

"Oh! I'm not here to discuss business!" Having said this, the King of Knights suddenly put away his smile and put on a serious face: "Has [The Deceiver] shown up?"

"No!" Ethan spread his hands: "Only his apprentices are stirring up trouble."

When the King of Knights heard this, he was a little disappointed: "Do you know what his purpose is?"

"There are some clues, but I'm not sure!" Ethan said with a serious face: "He seems to be eyeing a magical treasure in the Duke's Mansion.

And that precious phantom seems to be able to cause disaster.

Of course, all this is just my guess, and it will take a few days to know the specific situation. "

After hearing this, the King of Knights became even more disappointed.

Because from Ethan’s words, he only heard the word maybe.

This means that whether the [Deceiver] is in Maro City or not is a question mark.

He came all the way here not just to hear the word "possible".

He has only one purpose.

That is to find the [Deceiver] and kill him.

However, he could understand the disappointment.
