Seventh World Tale 9
When Suhang came to the restaurant, there were already many people eating lunch in the restaurant. Yaheng was sitting at the innermost table and chatting with Alfred. Suhang asked the waiter for a regular lunch
Finally, we came to Yaheng’s table.
"How's your rest going? Are you feeling better?" Ya Heng asked.
"Yes, I slept very soundly last night." Su Hang said after taking a sip of milk.
"The housekeeper of the director of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst called this morning and said that he would send a car to pick you up at noon to take you to the manor." Alfred said at this time.
"Do you need to call Mo Lin?" Suhang cut a piece of steak, put it in his mouth and said while eating.
"No, let him rest!" Yaheng said after taking a sip of tea.
A few people in Suzhou and Hangzhou were chatting and having lunch. After the meal, a few people came to the bar to chat about unfinished topics in the restaurant. Not long after, a man dressed as a soldier came in at the door of the bar and walked straight to the bar to ask what was going on.
The bartender, Moton, asked: "Excuse me, who are Suhang and Yaheng?"
"If you see the three people at the back who are chatting, that's it." Moton pointed to the location of Su Hang and the other three people and said. There were not many people in the bar at this time, and there were even less people sitting together. They were all zero.
They were sitting scattered around, but the Suhang table was very conspicuous, not to mention that they were sitting at the innermost table.
The soldier walked straight to Su Hang's table, looked at the three of Su Hang and said, "Who are Su Hang and Ya Heng? I was sent by Dean Charles to pick you up."
"I'm Ya Heng, and this is Su Hang. I'll arrange things before we leave." After Ya Heng said that, he and Su Hang left their seats together, came outside the bar, and explained some of today's events to Alfred.
matter.
Yaheng told Alfred some things, mainly saying that if he hadn't come back by the evening, he would ask Alfred to call the merchant in London and tell him that he would postpone his arrival in London.
After arranging things, Su and Hang got into a car driven by soldiers and headed for the manor outside the town. On the way, Yaheng and Su Hang talked about the things they had to deal with this time in London. In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Hang
Hang and his party came to Roberts Manor. This was Suhang's first close contact with this private manor located outside the small town of Irelandtown.
From the memories gained from the fusion, Suhang knew that in that high-tech era, almost no one lived in the manor, and most of them were high-rise buildings. It seemed that there were still people who could build high-rise buildings, but they were all built on extraterrestrial developed land.
Not on a primitive planet. Looking at the manor in front of me is still very shocking.
"Kelanglang" The gate of the manor was slowly opened by the guard at the door, and the car drove into the parking lot beside the gate of the manor. At this time, a tall and thin man was wearing a set of dark British clothes and tied a
A new-style string tie and a pair of sheepskin shoes. He seemed to be about forty years old. His short dark hair looked energetic and capable.
The tall and lanky man came over and introduced himself first: "I am the butler of Roberts Manor, Scott Cook."
"You can just call me Butler Scott."
"Dean Charles is dealing with work matters. Let me take you two to tour the manor first." Steward Scott said slowly to Suhang and Yaheng.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Steward Scott." Su Hang said after looking the thin and tall steward up and down.
After Butler Scott nodded, he led the way and took Suhang and Hang around the manor. The butler told Suhang and Yaheng the origin of Roberts Manor. In 1710, Queen Anne at that time conquered Ireland.
Several hundred hectares of land outside the town were given to Arthur Roberts, 1st Duke of Wellington (ancestor of Charles Roberts) in recognition of his service in a foreign war in July 1703, which cost the Duke his left arm.
There is a small lake in Roberts Manor, with beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. Outside the huge arch of the manor, there is an open green lawn and an infinite blue sky. The grass slopes extend to both sides, with a wide and clean corridor in the middle.
, leading to the palace in front. On the lawn, on the shore of the lake, under the palace, the sun is shining brightly, and brave soldiers are patrolling.
You can imagine the scene when everything comes to life in spring. Small flowers are dotted on the grass slopes, and the lake is as level as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and water lilies. Occasionally, water birds fly by, but they do not disturb it in the slightest, but make it even more beautiful.
Its quiet.
Su Hang sighed sincerely: "The manor is really big!" Ya Heng beside him nodded casually as if in agreement, but didn't say anything, just looking at the manor. Su Hang and others were touring the manor.
At that time, on the second floor of the house directly opposite the gate, a middle-aged man was watching Su and Hang with a telescope. Of course, he was mainly observing Su and Hang. After all, Ya Heng had lived in the small town of Irelandtown for so many years and wanted to
It is too easy to understand him. You can understand him with just a little investigation. However, Suhang is different. He has been here for a short time and has basically never left the hotel. The only thing outsiders know about him is that he is Locke.
A bartender at the hotel.
"Dean, we have investigated this person and our knowledge is limited." A burly British man stood behind the middle-aged man and said.
"What did you find?" The middle-aged man did not look back, but continued to observe Suzhou and Hangzhou with his telescope.
"Suhang, his age is unknown, he should be close to 20 years old. He is 1.95 meters tall. He once lost his memory and was rescued at sea by Ya Heng, the owner of Locke Hotel." said the strong British man.
"Relf, can you tell me something I don't know?" The middle-aged man put down the telescope in his hand, turned to look at the strong British man, and said in a calm voice.
"Dean Charles, the name Suhang is not his only name. This name should be related to his mother. He also has another name called Aldrich Baker."
"His father is British and his mother is Chinese. His father is a navigator who has lived at sea for a long time. His mother's identity is unknown. They encountered a shipwreck while searching for Korean treasures. So far, they have not found any other treasures except Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Other survivors."
"This is the information we have been able to collect so far. This is a detailed report of the places Suhang has been to, the food he has eaten, and the things he has done since he entered the town of Irelandtown."
He handed a stack of papers stored in the file folder to Dean Charles.
After receiving the report, Charles turned around and walked into the room, followed by Ralph. Dean Charles walked into the study, sat down on the sofa and read the report, and Ralph sat down next to the dean.
After reading it in detail, Dean Charles looked at Ralph and asked, "Did Suhang go to the bank some time ago?"
"Dean, the bank can't find any information. They do a good job of keeping customers confidential."
"Go and check whether Suhang's father has been to Barclays Bank to make sure." Dean Charles stood up and put the report into the file bag on the bookcase and said.
"Okay, Dean." Ralph said.
There was a sudden knock on the door. After Dean Charles said please come in, the door was opened from the outside.
A young woman dressed as a maid came in, holding a tray in her hand. There were two glasses of dark red wine on the tray. After the woman placed the two glasses of wine in front of Dean Charles and Ralph, she looked at
Dean Charles said: "Dean, this is the Grave wine you want."
"Okay, you go out first!" Dean Charles said. The maid turned around and left the room with the tray in hand.
"Dean Charles, the guests are still waiting!" Ralph drank the red wine in one gulp and stood up.
"Okay, news as soon as possible. I don't like waiting very much." Dean Charles put down the wine glass in his hand and looked directly at Ralph.
"Waiting, this word has never appeared in my dictionary." Ralph said with a smile, turned and left the room.
The room fell into silence. Dean Charles sipped red wine and leaned on the sofa thinking about things until the red wine in the glass was gone. He stood up, opened the door and walked downstairs.
"Alberta, tell the housekeeper that I will wait for them in the living room." Dean Charles walked downstairs and ordered the maid.
"Okay, Dean." Alberta said, and then walked quickly towards where the housekeeper and others were.
Steward Scott led Su and Hang to the central area of the manor, which is the small garden in the manor. Due to the season, there are no flowers in bloom in the small garden, but you can imagine the beautiful scenery when they are in full bloom.
Butler Scott introduced that this small garden covers an area of dozens of hectares. The entire garden was designed by the famous British designer Philip Webb. The designer Philip passed away many years ago, but his reputation in the UK is unmatched. London is now
He was the founder of the Ancient Buildings Conservation Association, when he and another famous designer designed the Red House, a representative building of the British era. His works are quite pastoral, and the overall small garden also reflects his
The style is natural and simple.
"Butler Scott, the dean is waiting for you in the living room." Alberta walked over quickly and conveyed the dean's order to the butler.
"OK."
Butler Scott led Yaheng and Suhang out of the small garden and came to the living room of the main building at the main entrance of the manor. It was the first time for Suhang and Yaheng to meet the famous Dean of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Charles Academy
He is a middle-aged man with a full head of black hair with a few silver strands hidden in it. Although he has a few silver hair prematurely, it cannot hide his piercing eyes, and the white hair is obviously his
Caused by overwork. He is at least 1.85 meters tall and has a tall and straight body.
When Su and Hang were looking at Charles, the legendary director of the military academy, Charles was also looking at Su and Hang. As for Ya Heng, the local hotel owner, Charles just made a little observation. After all, no matter from the people around him or Ralph
We already have a detailed understanding of it there, so there is no need to waste time observing him.
After Charles' eyes stopped on Yaheng for a moment, he turned to Suhang. Compared with Yaheng, he was more interested in Suhang, a Chinese-English mixed-race person. This was not because he had never seen a mixed-race person. He was in the army.
I've seen a lot of them in there, but the fact that this mixed-race person appeared in the small town of Irelandtown at this time makes people a little suspicious.
The impression Suhang gave to Charles was that this young man was very strong. His short brown hair made him look energetic and not decadent. His bright black eyes were as dazzling as black pearls. He combined the best of both China and the West, making him instantly charming.
Can't find any problems.
The two parties only observed each other for a few seconds. Steward Scott saw the opportunity and coughed slightly, ending the "first impression" between the two parties.
"Lucy, three cups of coffee." Butler Scott ordered the maid standing at the door. The butler was familiar with Dean Charles's taste. When he visited the garden, the butler also learned about the habits of Suhang and Yaheng.
"Mr. Selter, Mr. Chu, I'm interrupting your lunch break." Dean Charles took the lead to break the silence and stir up a conversation.
"It's our honor to receive your invitation, Charles," Ya Heng said.
The simple topic greeting broke the first awkward silence between the two parties. However, Suhang felt as if this was the legendary 'awkward chat'. The two parties actually had nothing to talk about at the beginning, and Dean Charles couldn't come up with it.
He talked about the attack in a straight-to-the-point manner, but Yaheng really had nothing to say. You were the one who asked us to come here in the first place.
Next, Charles and Ya Heng spent about ten minutes "inquiring". Both sides were chatting about something, but Su Hang listened with ears and basically didn't interrupt. The butler Scott served the maid's coffee.
After entering and placing it in front of several people, he followed the maid and left the living room.
1 Philip Weber, an architectural designer in the 19th century, is a famous British designer and is known as the "father of the Arts and Crafts Movement".
After a short time, Ya Heng and Dean Charles finally brought the topic back to the topic. Before Dean Charles could ask anything, Ya Heng briefly told what happened that day, and Su Hang added a sentence or two from time to time.
, Dean Charles sat on the sofa and drank coffee while listening to Su and Hang.
After talking about the whole thing, Yaheng's mouth was dry, and a sip of coffee really didn't quench his thirst. Yaheng looked at Dean Charles opposite and asked: "Does Dean Charles have water?"
After looking at Yaheng, Dean Charles picked up the phone next to the sofa and ordered: "Bring a glass of water to the living room." Then he disconnected the phone.
"James and his friends were sent to the hospital in London this morning and were attacked." Charles put down the phone and looked at Su and Hang and said, observing their expressions.
"Oh my god! You really don't know how to live or die. Someone dared to attack your family many times. What's going on now?" Ya Heng suddenly heard the news and asked with shock on his face.
"Dean, things shouldn't be too bad!" Su Hang said, staring at Dean Charles.
"Mr. Chu, how do you know they are okay?" Dean Charles suddenly focused his eyes on Su Hang and said.
Chapter completed!
