Blue Sword

After drinking and eating, Ludwig went to the counter to pay, and suddenly felt a little pain in his body.

Those pork knuckle sausages are just that. The three sky-high-priced dishes from Eleanor’s designated origin: white asparagus, white truffles, and geoduck are all rare and expensive high-end ingredients.

He used to be fine in the family, but after he inherited his father's title of Viscount Gaoting, he seldom ate these things, which was a waste of money.

Father, you really dote on your sister so much. I see how you are used to her taste.

After dinner, Ludwig called his driver and valet, planning to send Cang Qingjian and others to Mingxing City.

"Hey, it's a car!" Looking at the stretch sports car parked on the side of the road, Peggy said immediately, "I can drive!"

She was about to pull the cab door, but luckily Eleanor's quick eyesight and quick hands caught her.

"There is a driver." She reminded in a low voice.

"There is another car behind us." Ludwig said with a smile, "This lady can drive it if she wants."

"No, no." Eleanor glared at him quickly. If Peggy really drives the car in front and lets the driver sit in the back, then tomorrow Cang Qing Sword will become a joke among all the servants of the Weisbach family.

There are two extended sports cars at the front and rear, each of which can seat about 8 people. Under normal circumstances, nobles will travel with drivers, butlers, personal servants, and bodyguards, which add up to about six or seven, and the remaining positions are naturally for emergency use.

Emergency means: usually the master and butler + 1 personal servant ride in one car, and the rest of the people ride in another car. If a guest is to be received, and the guest brings his or her own team, then it is the host and guest, and the butlers and personal servants of both parties sit in the same car.

However, Cang Qing Sword now has nine people, plus Hood who has resigned, the emergency position is far from enough. Therefore, when he first came out, Ludwig secretly ordered the butler to arrange for a few personal servants to go back early to make room for the girls.

Speaking of girls, Ludwig had long felt that something was wrong. A normal mercenary group would have more men than women. How come you, Cang Qing Sword, are all women?

He found an opportunity to ask Eleanor quietly, but she immediately retorted:

"Where did all the women come from? Isn't the leader a man? Isn't Hood a man too?"

"Okay." Ludwig thought to himself that if there were all men and only his sister was among them, he would still feel uneasy.

However, since so many women have been recruited into the group, the Asker leader may have some problems in his private life. Although Ludwig was confident in his sister's mate selection standards, but... from the fact that the daughter of the Licinius family liked him, this leader may not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

"I thought all these cars would be scrapped after the magic wave came." Eleanor said as she got into the car.

"It's scrapped." Ludwig said with a smile, "The car is a batch of new goods we urgently ordered from Solomon City after the rising demonic tide ended. The supplier happened to be Miss Nora's Licinius family."

"What does your family do, Nora?" Sheila asked curiously.

"It seems to be engaged in manufacturing." Nora said uncertainly, "Precision manufacturing."

Ludwig was silent. He naturally knew that the Licinius family was by no means an ordinary manufacturing giant, but didn't even her teammates know that?

Do you really know how terrifying the identity behind the girl sitting next to you is?

Thinking of this girl's unabashed love for Aske, Ludwig suddenly felt a little sour.

It's like a person with a relatively good financial situation suddenly discovers one day that his neighbor, who is not very good-looking, has been chosen as the son-in-law by the world's richest man. In an instant, he can't feel any other emotions except sadness.

"Why do you keep blinking, brother?" Eleanor asked suddenly.

"It's nothing, sand got into my eyes." Ludwig wiped the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tears of envy and hatred.

Will there be sand in this closed car? Eleanor wondered.

————

It was about 200 kilometers from Lifillach to Mingxing City. The car drove for two hours. It was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night when we arrived in Mingxing City.

Due to the effect of the previous magic wave, the power in the residential areas of the city has not yet been restored. Most buildings are shrouded in darkness or illuminated by faint candlelight. Only the factory across the Isar River has resumed production. , became the only source of light in the huge darkness.

The car drove all the way into the inner city and stopped at the entrance of the splendid Weisbach Palace. The driver opened the door for everyone, and more servants rushed up, ready to help carry the guests' luggage.

Then it was discovered that these girls had no luggage at all, and they suddenly showed a slightly confused expression. It was not until the housekeeper clapped his hands that the servants bowed and then filed back into the palace.

Ludwig looked at the butler, who shook his head imperceptibly.

Shaking the head means confusion. Even the extremely experienced aristocratic butler, who had served the Duke of Bavaria and Master Ludwig for two generations, could not see where the girls had hidden their luggage.

Are they just eating and drinking outside?

Considering that the night was already dark, Ludwig could only choose to ask Hood tomorrow to ask this question - after all, there are enough mysteries in the Blue Sword, whether it is the disparity in gender ratio, age gap, various races, Still without luggage, etc., it all feels confusing.

"You can place them in the guest room." Ludwig reminded his sister, "Father went to the Principality of Franconia last week, so let's entertain the guests first."

"Does that need to be said?" Eleanor said impatiently.

Ludwig smiled and took the servant into the palace.

The Weisbach Palace is a huge complex consisting of countless buildings, cloisters and gardens. A normal person would almost feel dizzy just walking around inside. Eleanor led everyone forward on a familiar path, surrounded by hollowed-out corridors, intricately carved decorations, and cleverly hidden decorative light sources.

Every few meters of the wall were hung priceless oil paintings, which made Mia almost drool.

She stopped at a small table. On the table was an ornate box inlaid with various tortoiseshells, agates and precious stones.

"This is..." she asked hesitantly.

"The reliquary," said Eleanor, "contains the big bones of one of my ancestors. Don't open it."

"Uh!" Mia made a disgusting nasal sound, and then asked hesitantly, "It should be worth a lot of money, right?"

"Are you trying to sell the bones of my ancestors?" Eleanor frowned.

"Hahaha, I'm just curious." Mia said hahaha.

"Which ancestor?" Ask suddenly asked.

"Let me take a look." Eleanor looked at the box. "It should be 'Crazy' Ludwig, a crazy but talented artist."

"Oh." Ask said.

"What are you planning?" Medea's voice sounded in Asik's mind.

"Can't you read minds?" Asked.

"I also respect my boyfriend occasionally." Medea said, "Ask first. If he doesn't answer, I will quietly read his mind."

Ask automatically ignored the first half of her sentence and said: "In that relic box, there is a clue to start a mission chain. One-third of the reason why I agreed to her brother coming here is for this mission."

"I knew you had other plans." Medea teased, "It can't be just to meet your parents."

"What parent are you meeting?" Asker asked, "A penalty and a warning."

"I didn't say anything." Medea said quickly.

Eleanor placed everyone in the guest rooms of the palace. There were a large number of guest rooms that had been vacant for a long time, but they were maintained by servants every day to deal with the sudden visit of some unexpected guests.

Ask walked into his room, took off his chain mail and cloth armor and hung them up, poured himself a glass of lemonade, took a sip, and then looked out the window.

The window of his room faced south, and he could see the city buildings outside and the huge black silhouette in the distance.

That is the Alps, the highest mountain in the northern continent, and it is said that there is a giant dragon sitting on it.

It is also his hope to return to that world.
