Entering the house, the first thing Klein saw was an entrance hall. It was very spacious, with many chairs and umbrella stands, and it was elegantly decorated and well-decorated. If you did n’t know the structure in advance and visited the site, Klein would even think it was A living room.
Through the second gate, Huo Ran opened his eyes and appeared a hall where hundreds of guests could dance.
The hall is covered with colorful, thick and soft carpets, surrounded by bright and clear marble tiles, with item such as pianos and stone carvings, and supporting stone columns with ornaments to support second floor.
It has a row of floor-to-ceiling windows on the left, a green lawn and a full-scale garden on the outside, and walls, wooden doors, and corridors on the right, leading to places such as the rest room, storage room, washroom, kitchen, and butler room.
The hall is two floors high, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, allowing people to imagine what it will look like at night.
Go to the end, with stairs on each side leading to the second floor.
The cloister here is square, and the empty part in the center is exactly the place where the hall is carpeted. As long as Klein takes a glass of wine and stands behind the railing of second floor, you can enjoy the dance party below.
There are many rooms on the second floor. There are living room, living room, dining room, bathroom, billiard room, and a large number of bedrooms. If guests need to stay overnight, they will stay here.
Similarly, second floor has two stairs leading to the third floor, where is where Dawn Dantes lives, there is exaggerated master bedroom, there is a semi-open room with a bar that can be exposed to the sun and enjoy the scenery, and there is a small book The library's study has two cloakrooms and a small bedroom in which the male servant and the Night Watcher maid live separately, as well as rooms and toilets belonging to family members. However, Klein is currently single.
As for the other servants, in the row of bungalows behind the building, the other direction is the stable.
The underground part of the building is equally spacious, with large storage rooms and wine cellars.
Klein with its jacket removed, back stands upright on the large balcony of the semi-open room of third floor, overlooking the scenery of the surrounding streets, ca n’t help but sigh in my heart:
"Expensive is still valuable, and the £ 315 rent is not too wasteful ..."
He paid the rent for a year yesterday afternoon, and he can only force himself to be more and more pleasing to the place.
At the same time, he directly paid Walter a year's salary of 115 pounds, because after he succeeded in Antigonus family notebook, he was likely to abscond, causing the housekeeper to lose his job.
Based on this concept, he also paid an annual salary of £ 42 for housekeeper Tanaia this morning, which gave the lady a preliminary feeling of Mr. Dawn Dantes ’s take action and conducting oneself.
The two servants have been hired and the servants have been hired. A male family property manager has an annual salary of 30 pounds, and a close-fitting male servant Richardson has an annual salary of 35 pounds. The two are responsible for receiving guests at the dining table. The annual salary of the waiter's servants is 25 pounds, the annual salary of the two first-class servants is 18 pounds, the annual salary of the two second-class servants is 12 pounds, and the annual salary of the two rough-working servants is 12 pounds.
In addition to these, the chef ’s annual salary is £ 30, the kitchen assistant is £ 15, the kitchen maid is £ 13, the pantry maid is £ 11, the domestic nurse is £ 25, the small worker is £ 10, the two carriagemen are each £ 25, and the two gardeners are each 20 Pound, the two washing maids are 10 pounds each, totaling 413 pounds, almost 8 pounds per week.
According to the annual salary of the two housekeepers, Klein pays 570 pounds per year, which is about 11 pounds per week. This does not include the expenses for providing food, clothes, and various daily necessities.
Every Monday, when you open your eyes, you have to pay a dozen or twenty pounds if you do n’t have any income yet ... Klein will do a random mental calculation and force her to look at the garden.
After paying the rent of two carriages and the first week ’s salary of the servants at noon, and giving housekeeper Tanaia 1,000 pounds of cash for daily expenses, he only left 1286 pounds and 18 gold coins, but Miss Justice and Lady Hermit The funds will be “received” within this week.
I do n’t know how long the 1,000 pounds in Tanaia can support. Just to store all kinds of alcoholic beverages to meet the ball and banquet, it should be at least a few hundred pounds ... Mr. Dawn Dantes is in deep contemplation and is difficult to extricate himself.
In order to calm his emotions, he decided to go to above the grey mist while the housekeepers and servants were busy dealing with the affairs of the new home, and study the weird puppet sacrificed under Emlyn White.
—— After blood moon happened, Klein had to go back to that mysterious space, pull Forsi into it, tolerate the sleepiness and listen to the other person chattering about the daily life of Beckland. When everything calmed down, he was too sleepy to accept the offer from Emlyn After confirming that there are no abnormalities, return to the real world and fall asleep.
Straighten the dark vest with lines in style, Klein walked to the entrance, opened the door, and said to the personal servant Richardson who was standing outside:
"I used to take a nap for three quarters at this time, and do n’t let anyone disturb me."
"Okay, sir." Richardson responded humbly.
He is a mixed-race illegitimate child, his father is ruenian, a manor of a manor, his mother is East Balam native, a slave of that manor. After he was born, he suffered from discrimination and bullying, and developed a cowardly and obedient character. Because he was very good in appearance and suitable for receiving guests, he was selected by the owner of the manor as a servant and brought to Beckland.
When Ruen Kingdom higher and lower parliaments passed the abolition of slavery bill, he was unemployed and had to ask the "Metropolitan Association for Helping Domestic Servants" for assistance.
Before Klein, he served two families, made some mistakes, and accumulated a lot of experience. He was favored by the housekeeper Walter and became a personal servant of Dawn Dantes.
Looking at the tall, Richardson taller than you are now, Klein shook her head invisible and sighed in her heart:
"This kind of guy who can be a star in this form can only be a servant in this era, and he is obviously so tall, but timid and cowardly, but this is also an advantage, obedient, silent, obedient, master Do whatever you want, absolutely do n’t make a claim ...
"If I only have a close-fitting male servant who needs him to handle various affairs, then Richardson must be unqualified, but I still have Walter housekeepers, and so many servants. The rest of the things are based on his experience and ability. , Enough to cope. "
Not much to say, Klein closed the door and locked, returned to the easy chair, walked back four steps, and entered above the grey mist.
He sat down at the position belonging to Fool, made a move, and let the scorched "Moon Puppet" fly over and landed in front of him.
After repeated examination, Klein did n’t find any special place, so he produced a pen and paper and wrote the divination sentence:
"The origin of it."
Put down the pen and wait a few seconds for Klein to pick up the paper and lean back against the chair.
Well, the intuition of spirituality did not stop me divination, which shows that the hidden danger of "Moon Puppet" is not as big as Extraordinary characteristics of Rose School ... Klein murmured and read the divination sentence skillfully.
In the world of grey mist, he saw an altar with a circle of torches.
The altar is covered with suspected human skin, **** traces everywhere, with three candles and several slender human puppets in the center.
The small puppets have curved eyes and curved mouths that seem to correspond to the crescent moon in the sky.
So, they always have a weird smile, and they are covered with dry grass and dried flowers.
A priest in a dark red robe is vigorously walking around the altar, like dancing a dance invented by a person with epilepsy.
I do n’t know when the moonlight converged and shone on the puppets, getting brighter and brighter. At the end, there seemed to be light waves swaying there.
The ceremony soon came to an end. The priest picked up a slender puppet, walked to the front of human race tied to the side shelf, and inserted it into the eye socket of the other party.
In the terrible scream, the picture changed rapidly, and those dead with "Moon Puppet" in their eye sockets were regularly buried in a place.
The scene began to develop by leaps and bounds. Whenever the full moon and blood moon, Hui Mang will sprinkle on the tomb, the water will penetrate into it, and the surroundings will be dark and deep.
Klein opened his eyes, adjusted his sitting position, and roughly understood the origin of "Moon Puppet":
They originated from a ritual praying for "Primordial Moon", a ritual that lasted hundreds of years!
In the past hundreds of years, they absorbed the power of scarlet moon and mutated a little until they were excavated by some colonists.
They usually do n’t have any weird places. Only the believers of "Primordial Moon" can open it with the correct method. As for the effect, Klein is not clear.
In a sense, these puppets are equivalent to the benefactors of "Primordial Moon" ... After being hacked to death last night, Evil God became angry, so there was blood moon? Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, and had a preliminary judgment.
Well, the anger of "Primordial Moon" directly changes the moon, which is shown as blood moon ... If this guess is correct, it means that in the field of scarlet moon, Goddess is not as good as "Primordial Moon", and may even only occupy a name. No., in charge of a piece of 0 level sealed item ... Klein nodded slightly, trying to weaken divination "Moon Puppet".
This time, he saw the sun and lightning.
That is to say, the extraordinary ability in the field of Sun and the lightning in the field of Storm are best suited to deal with it ... Klein, while interpreting the content of the revelation, throws "Moon Puppet" into the debris heap and returns to the real world.
One hour later, the smartly dressed Walter knocked on the door with white gloves and entered the room, saluting:
"Sir, I will print some of your business cards and send them to the neighbors with small gifts.
"They will observe for a few days to confirm your situation. If they are willing to accept you, they will return the gift and invite you to be a guest.
"What title do you need to add to your business card?"
Title ... Fool of another era? Klein secretly vomited, and smiled and replied:
"Businessman Dawn Dantes from Disu is enough."
Walter nodded, said instead:
"According to your intentions, I will immediately arrange etiquette classes for you, the focus is on dancing, and I will invite a professional tutor to come over."
