Chapter 4 Pete the Steward
Chapter 4 Butler Pete
The place where Salveira originally stood in the study room is now occupied by the old butler Peter.
However, after Peter was called in by Salveira, Kaios kept sitting at the table reading and did not say a word to him.
After about ten minutes, Kaios still didn't say a word. Peter finally couldn't help but said: "Master, what do you want to have for dinner? The old servant will let you go..."
"Did the big man tell you?" Kaios interrupted him.
"Say...what?" Old Pete said in surprise.
Kaios looked at him and said, "Didn't you meet the big man when you came here just now?"
"I met him. He was guarding the stairs. He looked... very happy. What did the master tell him?" Old Peter asked puzzledly. "Salveira was also very happy. The master was pardoned.
Has she?"
"Pardon? Do you really think she has something to do with my coma?"
"this……"
"Old Peter, Archmage Dominic came to see me to make sure that I am indeed hopeless and will definitely die, right?" Kaios' tone suddenly became cold.
Peter's body shook violently, and his upper body disappeared with a whoosh, which startled Kaios behind the table. When he stretched his neck to take a look, he realized that he had knelt down on the ground in an instant.
"Master! Pete is absolutely loyal to the Li family and to the master! No one named Nok will ever betray the Li family!" Pete said sadly.
Kaios said quietly: "I am not the only one with the surname Li."
Peter's voice became more and more anxious: "Only Master is the only orthodoxy of the Li family! Peter is only loyal to Master!"
"When did they apply for arbitration from Shengyou Palace?" Kaios asked again.
Peter hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It should be...yesterday. When Dominic the Great came over yesterday, Treat was also outside."
After saying this, Peter's voice suddenly became much more relaxed, as if he understood that there was no use in sophistry or deception, and he accepted his fate.
"Master, my servant failed to prevent them from submitting to arbitration. The crime is unforgivable. Please punish me. The servant is at fault, but the other members of the Nock family... Harvey and the others are indeed loyal to the master and have no second thoughts."
If they knew the purpose of Dominic's arrival, they would have tried their best to stop it... It was all the old servant who kept it secret from them, and the blame lies with the old servant alone..."
Kaios leaned back in his seat, no longer looking at the butler Peter who was kneeling below, but slowly opened a large booklet next to him, which was a simple genealogy of the Li family.
Soon, he found the words "Treat Lee, born in..."
The Treat that Pete refers to is probably Treat Lee, the eldest son of his third uncle Fanbol Lee.
Kaios thought for a while and asked: "How do you think my coma has anything to do with them? If they did it, how did they do it?"
"This... After the master fell into coma, the old servant immediately called Doctor Grossman to make sure that the master had not eaten anything poisonous. Later, Doctor Qin came over and confirmed that the master had no signs of poisoning or any symptoms.
It’s all born in the body.”
Kaios thought quickly, weighing the pros and cons.
As a time traveler, from a third perspective, if the death of the original owner was not directly or indirectly involved by Peter, when the original owner was obviously hopeless, in order to protect themselves, he acquiesced to Trite and other side branches of the Li family using the Holy Blessing Alliance's
It is actually understandable that the rules deprive the original owner of the ownership of the soul subordination contract. After all, I don’t want to die in vain with the original owner.
But understanding is understanding, and he will definitely not say it directly.
And he can't confirm now that Peter and the original owner were in a coma, and it has nothing to do with it.
Even the two doctors and the great magician mentioned by Peter are not without possibility of being bribed.
"After I woke up today, I forgot a lot of things. I couldn't even remember my own name for a while. But no matter what, I trust you and Harvey, the Nock family. Next, you have to
Help me keep an eye on the people in the manor and see if anyone behaves abnormally."
After Kaios finished speaking, old Peter, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head in surprise. After a few seconds, as if he had thought of something, he quickly put his head on the ground again and said in a trembling voice: "Master is kind, my servant must be kind."
I will not betray my trust. If there is a traitor in the manor, my servant will definitely find him out."
After letting the butler Peter leave, Kaios began to look for interesting books in the study to check.
He found that the books in this study were the most conspicuous and easily accessible. They were all art-related books, such as "Piñate Landscape Painting Collection", "Teacher Gao's Three Lectures on Painting Skills", "Saint Blessing"
"Basic Theory of Rhythm", "Basics of Lighting and Image Recording", "Appreciation of the Ten Famous Paintings of Shengyou Tianhua Palace (1)" and so on.
The next-level position contains the Li family's genealogy, annual records, family albums and other objects and books, as well as various materials related to the Shengyou Alliance, Three Kings, and Shengyou Academy.
And those that should be very important in Kaios's view, such as "Seventeen Questions on the Nature of Magic and Aura", "Magic System (Fourth Edition of Divine Blessing Academy)", "Basics of Core Continent Geography", "Inland
Where is the Boundary?", "Illustration of Common Common Plants of the Holy Blessing Alliance (1)", "Navigation History of the Holy Blessing Alliance", "Chronicles of the Main Continent", "Five Hundred Years of Glory of Yulang City", this category, and this
Books and materials related to the world's power system, geography, and history are all placed on the innermost bookshelf, which is the hardest to find.
Even some books on the basic theories of the Reiki system were not on the bookshelf. He found them in a few boxes piled in the corner of the study room.
How much does this successive lord of the Li family love art?
But for Kaios now, the basic information and power system of this different world are his top priority.
After dying once, even in another world, he didn't want to die again. God knows if he could still travel through time if he died again.
You must save your life and live well.
After the knock on the door, Salveira's sweet voice sounded: "Sir, dinner has been delivered."
"Come in." Kaios said, and saw Salveira opening the door and walking in with a dinner plate.
Salveira hadn't seen her for a few minutes, but she seemed to be even more glorious again, especially the look in his eyes that showed unconcealable adoration and admiration, as if a star-chasing girl had finally seen her idol up close.
Could it be that she had just been appointed as a "personal bodyguard"? But didn't she say that she was originally going to be her "personal bodyguard"?
Kaios was a little confused about Salveira's mental process, so he didn't think much about it and his eyes fell on the dinner plate.
Looking at the dishes on the dinner plate that were more Chinese in terms of cooking methods and presentation methods, as well as the pair of chopsticks, Kaios could not hide his surprise. There were so many similarities between this world and the world in his previous life. It was hard to
It makes people believe that there is no connection between the two worlds.
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Let's get someone to bring us a set of tableware..." Kaios said casually.
But just when he was halfway through speaking, he saw that Salveira's newly shining eyes were now full of fear. She waved her hands repeatedly and couldn't even speak smoothly: "Slave... no... this is... slave, wait...
master……"
Judging from her expression, it seemed that Old Pete was not as frightened as he was now when he said that he would make her "soul-exploding" and execute her.
"What are you thinking about? I want you to go and eat too." Kaios changed his words. He knew that he had just traveled through time and could not quite understand the thoughts of people with different identities in this world, so he tried not to do so in the short term.
It is safer to instill your own values and cognitive system into others.
