Chapter Eleven: The Sleeping Master Above
"Is this really my home? Am I dreaming?" Li Xie pinched his own face, somewhat disbelieving.
In front of him was a mansion, with a small courtyard of about 200 square meters in front, and a grand marble-built villa in the middle. It seemed that there should be a backyard as well. In the eyes of the nobles, this was just a humble abode, but to Li Xie, it was already his dream luxury villa!
"This is not the Earl of Evil's home, this is just a temporary residence for the Earl. Your Majesty has ordered that a manor be prepared for the Earl of Evil, but time was too short and I haven't had a chance to arrange it yet. Of course, finding a manor worthy of the Earl will take some time, I will definitely make sure the Earl is satisfied!"
The person who claims to be "under official" beside Li Xie is Elmero, a palace servant of the royal family, generally responsible for major and minor matters of the royal family. Although he only holds the title of viscount and has a low official position, he has gained the trust of Emperor Meissede VII and is one of his favorites. He was sent to arrange Li Xie's accommodation, which shows how much importance Meissede VII attaches to Li Xie.
Ai Er also has a delicate heart, and he doesn't look down on Li Xie because of his boorish behavior at the dinner party and dance. On the contrary, he becomes even more respectful. He understands that this country bumpkin is not simple in the future!
Therefore, he did not immediately arrange a villa for Li Xie, but instead arranged a temporary residence for him. As for the villa bestowed by Mercedes VII, this personal favor, El could have done it better.
"Is this a temporary residence? Oh heavens! If it were to be put on the market, not even tens of millions could buy it!" Li Xie exclaimed as he walked towards the inner court.
Ail hurriedly followed, with eight female servants and four male attendants behind him entering the house.
"Earl, here is also a reward of 10,000 gold coins from His Majesty, please receive it." Er gave Li Xie another transparent crystal card the size of a business card.
"Ten thousand gold coins?!"
Li Xie's voice rose a few decibels, he was drowsy at the ball, and didn't even know that Mercedes VII had given him an estate and 10,000 gold coins.
10,000 gold coins is not a small amount. The mainland of the gods uses gold, silver and copper as its main circulating currency. One gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, which is equal to 10,000 copper coins. And for an ordinary family's living expenses, only one gold coin is needed per month. 10,000 gold coins are enough to make an ordinary family live a comfortable life for several generations!
"Only 10,000 gold coins for this?" Li Xie examined the crystal card carefully. He was a man who loved money like his life, and when he heard that it was only 10,000 gold coins, his heart skipped a beat. But when he saw the card, his mood immediately turned sour!
Just like an old farmer who has never been to a bank, he doesn't even know what a bank card is. If someone gives him a card and tells him that his 10,000 yuan life savings are all in there, he'll probably beat you up!
Ai'er smiled and quickly explained to Li Xie. It turned out that this crystal card was a credit card jointly established by the Mercenary Guild, Continental Chamber of Commerce, Summoner Association, and various countries on the Continent of Gods to solve the problem of storing large amounts of gold coins. Each card was specially made by the mages of the Summoner Association, and some special crystal cards required blood authentication before they could be stored or withdrawn.
Transparent crystal card, can store one thousand to ten thousand gold coins, as long as there is a card, you can deposit and withdraw in various countries; The storage limit of the yellow crystal card is one million; The blue crystal card is ten million, while the black crystal card is one hundred million. Except for the transparent crystal card, all other crystal cards require authentication to deposit and withdraw, of course, authenticated people can also eliminate the authentication of the crystal card, making even the black crystal card reach a state where anyone can deposit and withdraw at will.
"No, no, I don't want the card, you go and exchange it for gold coins for me. Looking at the card, I really didn't know that I had become a rich man, haha!" Li Xie still felt that seeing the gold coins was more reassuring.
"Aye," replied Erl, "these are the servants I have arranged for you, Earl. They were carefully selected, of course, but if you do not like them, we can purchase another batch after you have chosen your estate. In the meantime, I will instruct them to sweep the manor so that you may take up residence."
"No need, no need, it's just a bit of dust, hehe. Speaking of which, I slept through the dance party and now I'm a bit hungry. You're called Xia Guan, right? Trouble you to exchange my gold coins for me, and also buy that Snow Dragon Fish, damn it, I only had two bites!" Li Xie's heart still lingered on that Snow Dragon Fish.
"Your subordinate is Erl." Erl felt a bit embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Earl, that... one Snow Dragonfish costs 100,000 gold coins..."
"One million!" Li Xie suddenly jumped up: "Damn, Your Majesty is too extravagant! Calculating it, I only ate a few hundred gold coins, damn it, if I hadn't eaten so much before, I would have at least gnawed him for seven or eight million gold coins! What a loss! My mood is ruined! I'm going to sleep! You arrange the rest! Who's that, take me to where I can sleep, grandma's, I need to replenish my blood quickly, how can one palm make me so sleepy?!"
Li Xie felt a bit dizzy, waved his hand and followed the servant to the bedroom. He fell onto the wooden bed and fell asleep directly. The wooden bed was already comfortable enough for Li Xie. At least in his life, he had slept on a bed fewer times than he had eaten meat.
The next day at noon.
Under the maid's silvery call, Li Xie slowly woke up. With a drowsy look, he vaguely saw a blonde beauty around twenty years old standing in front of him, with an extremely respectful attitude that made people think of four words - **having style! Oh no, it should be beautiful and elegant!
"Master, Viscount Aston has arrived. Shall we receive him?" The maid's attitude was very respectful, neither disgusted by Li Xie's drooling sleep nor afraid of him because he had just woken up. She replied naturally.
"Viscount Aston? Oh, Kano!" Li Xie thought of who it was and shifted his attention to the maid, sizing her up from head to toe. He secretly praised: Foreign chicks are really something! Her skin is delicate and snowy white, her face is full of soft and beautiful lines, and she has this figure... wow, rough lines! Just like a roller coaster!
"What's your name?" Li Xie asked again.
The maid's hands were clasped together at her abdomen as she gave a slight curtsy: "Your servant, Lily."
The lowest class of people did not have surnames and were often referred to only by nicknames; "Lily" was the nickname for this maid.
"Lily? Hehe... I... Ben Jue remembers you! Go, tell Kano to wait for a bit, I'll stretch my waist and come over." Thinking of his current identity as an earl, Li Xie hurriedly instructed again: "Also, have someone bring water for me to wash up with."
Lily responded with a sound and then came out of the bedroom. Li Xie stared at Lily's maid costume, twisting and turning her buttocks, and sighed: "The other world is really good! I've only been here for a few days! The dreams of a loser have all come true!"
It's not just a dream, it's a super dream!
Less than a month after arriving in this strange world, Li Xie, a thorough and utter loser, now has a noble status: the title of Earl, and what's more, he has inherited the bloodline of the Lamborghini family! He has a house: although the estate bestowed by Mercedes VII hasn't been settled yet; he has a car: it's said that the Earl's title comes with four four-horse carriages; and he has servants: you know, the mainland of the gods is a slave society, oh! These female servants are slaves!
Losers have everything they want, just missing a wife!
But having status, a house, a car and servants, what's there to fear about not having a wife? What's fearful is having several wives!
"All of this, I have to thank that machine for! Without it, how could I have crossed over? No, no, I should be thanking that beautiful woman instead. If she hadn't turned me into a vampire, I would've starved to death in the desert long ago! Hmph! Speaking of which, I should be most grateful to 'The Master's Scripture'. Without this book, none of these things would have happened, and I wouldn't have my life today! Hahaha..."
Li Xie got out of bed, clasped his hands together, and gave the most sincere praise since he arrived in the Land of Gods: "Master Meng is above!"
"Who is the Sleeping Master?" Kano strode into the bedroom, just in time to see Li Xie admiring the Sleeping Master. Uncomprehending, he asked, and upon seeing Li Xie, thought of his identity again. Kano hastily made a fist and bowed: "Viscount Astor? Kano greets Your Excellency."
Now Li Xie is an earl, one rank higher than Viscount Cano. According to etiquette, Cano not only had to pay his respects but also shouldn't have entered Li Xie's bedroom without being summoned. This was because of Cano's impatient nature, having waited for too long.
It wasn't until now that he realized the issue of identity and status, but it was a bit too late.
In the empire of the mainland of gods, the hierarchy is extremely strict. When a lower-ranking person sees a higher-ranking one, they must salute and cannot offend their superior at will. Otherwise, each country has corresponding laws to severely punish them. In the Tudor dynasty, Cano's behavior now can be flogged twenty times!
"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite since there's no one else around." Fortunately, Li Xie didn't have a noble ranking concept and wasn't bothered by this. He asked, "What brings you here looking for me?"
Kano's expression turned solemn, he stood at attention and saluted with his right hand on his chest, saying loudly: "By order of Duke Rhein, I am here to protect Earl Eber, as the escort for your lordship."
This time, the stupid Canno has grown some brains and doesn't dare say that he messed up, so Duke Lain threw him to Li Xie's side in a rage! Under the guise of protection, it's actually Duke Lain getting rid of this damned fool by his side!
However, in Li Xie's eyes, Kano had a dual identity. One was as a monitor! He must have been sent by Duke Laine to monitor him! Two was as a thug! Kano also had the strength of a sixth-level summoner, and he would definitely listen to Li Xie completely. If not, Li Xie wouldn't be satisfied with him, so how could he monitor?
We don't have anything worth monitoring, but this thug is indispensable. Hehe, we're not strong enough now, and we need some capable slaves around us who know how to fight! Besides, we still need to get Kano to bring back some soldiers' blood for a supplement!
Li Ye smiled and put the card away, then ordered: "Those formalities are not necessary, it's annoying! However, you must unconditionally listen to my words!"
"Don't worry, sir! I, Kano, will definitely complete every single one of your orders!" Kano patted his chest, completing tasks was his strong point!
"Heh heh, that's good." Li Xie nodded in satisfaction.
"Adults, who is this Sleeping Master after all?" Kano, still holding onto the Sleeping Master, asked.
