The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Roosevelt Marquis Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the Garden District, next to an artificial lake named Xiuli Lake. The environment is very beautiful and the area is very large. It is one of the few villas with private gardens in Port of Dorset.

This villa did not belong to the Roosevelt family at first, but to another noble family, but because of some debt problems, it was mortgaged to the Roosevelt family, and the Roosevelt family did not renovate this villa, but only used it as a vacation place.

However, as the Roosevelt family began to move the entire family to the Kingdom of America, the villa in the largest port of the Kingdom of England gradually became the residence of the Roosevelt family. Almost every once in a while, the Roosevelt family would hold a banquet here. He has always maintained a good relationship with the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of England.

Although due to various reasons, the status of merchants in Sete Port is much higher than that of other places in the Kingdom of England, but in terms of overall status, it is still far from being comparable to nobles. For general banquets, most hosts open two doors, one for nobles, and the other for businessmen and ordinary dignitaries. The same is true for the banquet at Marquis Roosevelt's house.

Although the banquet was held in the evening, most of the guests actually came in the evening, and among them the businessmen and dignitaries came earlier, so the entrance to the mansion specially prepared for the businessmen and dignitaries was cleared up early.

"The banquet is about to start, no one should come, how about we close the door and have a drink or two?" The steward in charge of receiving guests suggested to his colleagues beside him.

"Not yet, there is still a guest who hasn't arrived." The colleague looked down at the list in his hand, shook his head, and said.

"Are there any guests yet?" The steward reached out and took a look at the list, with a look of doubt on his face, he muttered to himself, "Leo Dodd? Is there a big businessman with this name in Port of Set? "

"There is one." Another person responded: "A nouveau riche who came out of nowhere, bought a lot of properties in the city not long ago, and invested a lot of things."

"What a nasty guy!" said the steward, curling his lips with a trace of jealousy.

"It is indeed a hateful guy." Others also said with envy.

"Wait a while, that guy is here, let's play tricks on him!" Someone suggested.

Although these people are all servants, as servants of the Roosevelt family, they always think that they are superior to others, especially in front of those businessmen, they feel that their status should be higher, but at the same time they are also envious of the rich pockets of businessmen. This kind of distorted psychology makes them always like to make things difficult for small businessmen and upstarts who have no background.

Hearing this proposal, everyone felt that such an upstart with no background would not be in any trouble even if they made things difficult for them, so they all nodded in agreement.

It's just that among the group of servants, there was one person who seemed to be an exception. He had no intention of getting involved, but looked at the group of colleagues mockingly.

"Frank, do you seem to have a different opinion?" The attentive person quickly noticed the unusual reaction of his colleagues and asked.

"I don't have any opinions, I just don't like to get involved in this matter. Everything you do has nothing to do with me." The man said with an attitude of staying out of the matter.

Although among the many servants, Frank is a very unlikable guy, but all the servants present have to admit that Frank is very fond of the master of the mansion. If one of the servants present is selected to be promoted to a senior manager in the future, then Frank will definitely be the first. Candidates, so Frank can also get some news that everyone can't get.

Now that Frank suddenly made such an unusual move, there must be some deep meaning in it, and all the servants around all guessed that Frank must know something.

So, everyone gathered around and said some flattering words to Frank, hoping to hear some news from Frank.

However, Frank seemed to enjoy the feeling of being complimented, but he never let go, until the others expressed their impatience, he put forward the condition, saying: "It's okay to tell you, just wait for that Leo Dodd is here, I will entertain him, don't grab him."

Hearing Frank's words, everyone understood that Leo Dodd, whom they underestimated just now, was probably a hidden crocodile, not the upstart they thought.

It's just that they are more concerned about Leo Dodd's affairs than getting benefits from Leo Dodd, because the most troublesome thing for them as servants who specialize in receiving guests is to offend some people who shouldn't be offended, In the past, there were countless servants who were driven away for this reason. They were unwilling to leave such a comfortable environment, so they paid special attention to news related to people's identities.

After everyone agreed to the request, Frank also said, "Actually, I don't know the identity of that person..."

"Frank, you kid deserves a beating!" Everyone was very angry when they heard Frank's words. pause.

Frank shook his hand quickly and said, "Wait, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Although I don't know the identity of that Leo Dodd, I know two things. One thing is that Leo Dodd The apartment Ou Dodd lives in used to be the royal family, and the second thing is..." He couldn't help the old problem again, deliberately stuck, and asked: "Do you remember the Duke of Buckingham's house? The former housekeeper?"

Although the crowd didn't like Frank's awkward talk, they were still attracted by Frank's words. One of them with a good memory quickly gave an answer and said, "Are you talking about Butler Sanjays?"

"Yes, yes, that's him." Frank nodded again and again, and then continued: "The second thing is related to him. Now this Sanjies butler has been hired by this Leo Dodd."

At first, when everyone heard this sentence, they didn't understand what it meant. So what if Sanjes became Leo Dodd's butler? Could it be compared with Leo Dodd's current residence that used to be the royal family's property? ?

But soon some people who understood realized how special the second thing Frank said was, and their faces showed surprise, while other people who didn't want to understand also asked one after another, and after getting the answer, they all showed The color of contemplation.

Because they knew very well that the stewards of the big nobles were absolutely for life, and it was impossible to say that they resigned midway, and resigning halfway was often because the steward made a serious mistake, and resigning according to common sense would mean death. However, the butler Sanjies was able to live intact after resigning, and was not erased by the Duke of Buckingham by some means. This incident has aroused suspicion among many people in the past.

Although there have been various theories, none of which is the correct answer, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, the butler Sanjes must have offended the Duke of Buckingham, and offended him very seriously.

Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated, even though many nobles or big businessmen hope to get an experienced butler, none of them are willing to hire Sanjies butler.

But now this Leo Dodd has actually hired the butler Sanjes, and it seems that there have been no surprises. Even their masters have sent invitations to invite this person to the banquet, so anyone with a little brain can It is speculated that the identity of this Leo Dodd is unusual.

Thinking of this, all the servants were afraid of their decision to play tricks on Leo Dodd just now, because if Leo Dodd's identity was really unusual as they had guessed, then their decision would 100% make them those The fool they used to laugh at.

Just when everyone was in lingering fear, a luxury carriage drawn by four horses with scales came quickly from a distance. When it reached the gate of the mansion, the carriage driver stopped the carriage very skillfully, and then A servant sitting next to the coachman quickly jumped out of the carriage, opened the door, lowered the steps, and stood quietly by the side.

The people inside the gate are very experienced reception servants. From their eyes, it is not difficult to see that both the carriage and the driver are very elegant, and only those nobles will have such equipment.

Seeing this scene, everyone glanced at each other, and the name of the person mentioned just now appeared in their hearts.

Afterwards, they saw a tall, strong, well-dressed young man stepping down from the carriage.

Although everyone saw this young man for the first time and did not even know the identity of this young man, when the young man glanced at them, they all felt a kind of pressure in unison, a feeling that only seeing a very noble man It is the kind of pressure that only the big shots have, and it is this kind of pressure that makes them involuntarily lower their heads to show surrender.

At this moment, everyone had no doubts about the identity of this Leo Dodd. They had already determined from the bottom of their hearts that the person in front of them was a hidden big man. Thinking that the apartment where the other party lived was formerly the property of the royal family, they couldn't help guessing The person probably is a member of the royal family of England.

After the young man got off the car, the servant immediately stepped forward to follow him, and took the invitation from the young man, and handed it to Frank who took the initiative to stand up and take charge of the reception work.

At this time, Frank's face did not have the slightest haughty expression just now, but was replaced by a submissive expression. He lowered his head, walked to Leo's side, and introduced him very enthusiastically: "I am Frank, and it is my lord. You are at the mansion. Please come with me, my lord. The dinner will be held in the main hall. After the dinner, there will be a dance. In addition, all the lords like to play cards and chess..."

Leo looked at the enthusiastic servant, raised his hand to interrupt him, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Sir Fidia Roland here?"

"Sir Phaedia Roland?" Frank was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanting to answer, but his self-control still restrained his urge to speak out, and changed his words: "I'm very sorry, I will let you know about other possible information. I can’t disclose it, my lord can look for it at the banquet, maybe you can find Sir Roland.”

"You are very good." Leo saw that the servant in front of him was able to abide by his own ethics even after enduring the suppression of his own life level. It can be seen that this servant's will is extraordinary, which also made Leo feel the Roosevelt family's respect. Strength has a new understanding.

Leo did not force the servant to answer, but took out the prepared bait from his pocket, attached a few gold shields and handed it to Frank, saying, "Give this letter to Faye later." Ser Dia Loren."

When Frank saw the large amount of gold shields, he also had shortness of breath a few times, but he still resisted the urge to say yes, but calmly thought through the relevant rules in his mind quickly, and confirmed that the act of sending letters would not After making a bad impression of himself, he just took the letter and said that he would definitely hand it over to Sir Fidia Roland himself.

Afterwards, Frank led Leo into the mansion in front of him, introduced some landscapes of the gardens in Oujue Mansion from time to time on the way, and soon the two came to the main hall.

"If you need anything else, please summon me directly, and I will wait for your order outside the door!" Frank led Leo to the reception servant in the main hall, then saluted Leo, and pointed to a servant at the door waiting place.

"En!" Leo nodded, and entered the hall under the guidance of the reception attendants.

In order to have a suitable place to hold the banquet, Marquis Roosevelt changed the leisure building in the garden into a banquet hall. I don’t know if it’s because of hobby or other reasons. The top decoration of this hall is all made of vinylon. The seal badges used by various churches to represent the gods, and even the ground has some very famous evil god badges. That is, these badges make the entire banquet hall look mysterious and weird. Many people think that if such a hall is placed on other continents in the Velen world, it will definitely be regarded as blasphemy. I am afraid that it has been moved by the church. .

At this moment, there are long tables neatly arranged in this banquet hall, and the two sides of the tables are full of people, because the banquet has not officially started yet, and the people sitting there have not shown too restrained, one after another. Talking and discussing with people I know next to me, these voices gather together, making the whole hall seem a little noisy.

Led by the attendants, Leo came to a long table near a stag statue on the right side of the hall, and sat next to the stag statue.

Seeing this stag statue, Leo was slightly stunned, because he found that this stag statue seemed to be the white stag in the Black Forest.

Although the deer in Velen World look similar, the white deer in the Black Forest has a pair of very peculiar antlers on its head, and the stag statue in front of you has such a pair of antlers. It is obvious that the statue was carved One must have seen the white stag of the Black Forest.
