Chapter 29 The Castle and the Duke

Last time he came in a hurry, and in order to cover up, Lu Xing did not take in more details inside and outside the castle. This time, with Annie's goddess endorsement, he can finally appreciate the aristocratic castle in the magical world without any scruples, and see what it is like.

Catherine followed behind him, calmly observing him looking around, curious about everything.

"what is this?"

Lu Xing pointed at the sculptures above the door of Anne's bedroom. They guarded the double doors of Anne's bedroom on the left and right.

Even the bedroom doors have double openings, showing the luxury of the castle.

"Angels under the goddess's seat." Catherine explained calmly: "The one on the left is the angel Laifel, who holds the power of the goddess' light, and the one on the right is the angel Telphis, who holds the power of the goddess' purification."

The names of these two angels do not correspond to the names of people in the West on Earth, nor do they come from Western legends.

Lu Xing was puzzled by another thing: "The goddess doesn't hold the power herself?"

"God cannot be questioned!" Catherine warned him.

But I felt more and more confused in my heart. Where did the soul of the dirty and rude man in front of me come from?
Not only does he not know the etiquette of the nobility, he also doesn't know common sense such as how to use magic, who are the famous angels under the seat of the Goddess of Holy Light, etc.

Thinking of this, Catherine looked into Anne's eyes and said, "Five days ago, Miss Anne went to the church to pray to the goddess. With the goddess's attention, the two angel statues were allowed to be placed on Anne's bedroom door."

Lu Xing looked up at the two angels again and guessed that they were sent by the Goddess of Holy Light to perform surveillance.

But he doubted whether the Goddess of Holy Light could detect that he had the system?

"Oh."

Lu Xing replied indifferently.

Annie is a devout believer. She has already told the goddess about the matter. There is no point for Lu Xing to hide it any longer. He should just take it one step at a time and see what the Goddess of Holy Light wants to do.

Walking forward, Lu Xing saw more luxury inside the castle.

The floor is five meters high, the walls are carved with intricate patterns, the floors are covered with exquisite carpets, sculptures of various postures on the roadside, colorful and well-structured paintings, and various magical decorations can be seen everywhere.

Through the stained glass windows, Lu Xing could see that the castle was surrounded by gardens, and there were two shorter castles next to it. According to Catherine, this was where the maids, servants, and castle guards lived - the castle guards lived in the barracks around the city walls.

In addition, the hundred-meter-high magic tower near the castle has a faint light flowing at the top, which is very eye-catching. After Lu Xing inquired, he learned that this is the magic tower of the Swinton family, and the half-elf Phyllis Esoren currently lives in it.

"The city of Rowans is the northern gateway of the empire."

Catherine said calmly: "The Swinton family has more than 300 mages and more than 10,000 knights. They have been guarding the north of the empire for thousands of years and blocking the orcs from the wild snowfields."

Lu Xing nodded slightly.

They did not look down on an army of 10,000 knights just because China could fight with 100,000 men.

Knights in the West were the smallest nobles. They often owned one or several villages as their fiefdoms. Every time a knight went out, he would have a team of attendants.

And these are only the 10,000 men of the Swinton family. Other families will also have knights, and when added together, the entire North will have many more soldiers.

"There seems to be a lack of mages."

Lu Xing laughed.

Catherine did not answer, because she already knew that the man in front of her (although he was the man who occupied Anne's body) knew almost nothing about this continent, and he had no idea how much money it cost to train a qualified wizard.

Lu Xing also roughly figured out that although this world seemed to be in the Middle Ages, due to the extraordinary power, the productivity was still much higher than that of the Western world on Earth at the same time.

The most obvious contrast is that the castles in the Middle Ages in the West are full of foul smells, while the Swinton family castle in the magical world is luxurious and exquisite, with a fragrant smell.

The higher the productivity, the more refined the life of the nobility.

Lu Xing followed the maid's instructions and went downstairs to the dining room. When going down the stairs, he put his hand on Catherine's and was guided downstairs by her. It was elegant, but very troublesome.

result.

"Wow!"

A middle-aged man's surprised voice came, accompanied by applause: "My dear Annie, how come you have become an elegant noble lady today? I almost don't recognize you!"

Lu Xing looked at Catherine. The head maid calmly withdrew her hand and whispered, "This is your father, the Duke of Swinton."

The Duchess at the side also smiled and said, "It's rare for Anne to go downstairs with such elegant manners. Is it because of the ancient Elvish language class today? It seems that I was right to ask Mr. Noy to teach you."

Lu Xing knew that with Anne's personality, how could she strictly abide by the etiquette of a noble lady?
When she went down the stairs, she probably ran downstairs and happily threw herself into the Duchess's arms and acted coquettishly. How could she be held by the head maid's hand and walked down step by step?
The maid tricked him again!!
After glaring at the cold-faced, long-legged, black-stockinged maid, Lu Xing walked towards the Duke and Duchess of Swinton. When he arrived in front of them, he bowed and saluted, and said in Miss Anne's manner and voice, "Greetings to you two, sir and madam!"

Catherine's pupils shrank behind her.

"……what?"

The gorgeously dressed Duchess was stunned, and the Duke of Swinton was also surprised: "Anne, what's wrong with you today? Why are you using men's etiquette..."

Lu Xing suppressed the discomfort all over his body and said with a smile: "The glory of the goddess shines on the North. I don't want to answer your questions now. Annie will tell you in two days."

"lady."

Catherine came forward to pay her respects and told them: "She is not Anne! She is a ghost with a mysterious origin!"

"No, I'm Annie."

Lu Xing emphasized, and then said helplessly: "But I don't want to explain anymore. Annie will explain it in two days, okay?"

Annie! Annie! Annie again!

Without her to rescue him, Lu Xing would never have been able to get away with it.

Just throw all the difficult problems that need to be explained to her. With Annie's cuteness, she can just act coquettishly and Lu Xing doesn't need to work hard to find excuses.

The Duke of Swinton looked at him for a long time before he said helplessly, "It seems that my Anne has encountered a difficult problem. Can you tell me, is Anne okay now?"

"Annie is fine and having a great time."

Lu Xing revealed.

With Annie's personality, she's probably having fun in his school again, chatting and making friends with college girls. Oh, she's probably also learned how to make phone calls and is chatting with Xiao Yu.

"That's good." The Duke of Swinton's worried expression relaxed a little and said, "I believe in Anne, and I also believe that the goddess will protect Anne."

"Goddess bless you!"

The Duchess made a prayer gesture and then invited Lu Xing: "I don't know where you are from, but now you are Anne. Please take a seat. I want to hear the story between you and Anne."

"Ma'am, I'm afraid you'll have to ask me tonight, or in two days. Because I'm Anne."

Lu Xing still remembers what Anne said in the letter.

Although he estimated that no matter how much Anne explained, she couldn't hide it.

The Duke and Duchess of Swinton looked at each other and both guessed that the strange person in front of them kept emphasizing that she was Anne, their daughter.

After the meal, Lu Xing said goodbye and went for a walk in the garden. Catherine was left behind to explain to the Duke and Lady what had happened that morning.
