I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 284: Report any situation promptly

People like Owen who don't sleep at night include David, the castle's butler.

During the snowy day last year, the castle took in many people who were hungry and poorly clothed, and established a security team that was quite powerful for this small town.

Since then, there has been a watchman on duty every night in the front and rear courtyards of the castle.

Brother and sister Xia Qingdai were building a road in the night, but the night watchman didn't notice it at first.

But soon they discovered something strange on the village road, and were wary of the gray-white unknown objects that appeared out of nowhere.

Under the moonlight, it was as if a piece of low-quality butter was gradually melting and eating away at the village road.

The security guard who was keeping watch hurriedly ran to the corner door on the first floor of the castle, stepped forward and knocked on the doorbell.

The bell on the door was connected to the housekeeper David's residence. Before he took off his clothes to sleep, he came over when he heard the sound, opened the door and asked what happened.

Security guard A pointed in the direction of the village road and said: "Mr. Butler, there is an unknown object on the village road."

David said calmly: "Okay, take me to see it."

The two were about to go out when Security Guard B, who was supposed to be guarding the backyard, also ran over.

David stood still and asked him what his problem was. As a result, when the other party opened his mouth, it was because of the same thing.

"The goddess must have appeared." David came up with this idea almost subconsciously.

Regarding his statement, security guards A and B thought for a while, then nodded in unison, deeply agreeing with it.

There are countless miracles in their Fucui Villa, and it will not be surprising no matter what happens again.

But if you find something unusual, you still have to proactively report it as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can the leader know that you are keeping vigil seriously?

David followed the two security guards from the front yard to the backyard. In a short period of time, he watched the unknown object on the village road get bigger and bigger, until it completely covered the village road as far as he could see.

After pondering for a moment, David ordered the security guards to continue vigil and ring the bell in case of emergency.

The two of them obeyed, and David left the cabin where the guard was staying and walked straight into the castle.

He always had the keys to various parts of the castle hanging on his body, and he took them out without hesitation and opened the iron door leading to the master's area on the first floor.

Originally, before David took over the position of butler of the castle, the iron gates were not locked at night.

After David arrived, he went to the town to purchase a large, sturdy lock and re-established the rules.

From then on, every night when there is no banquet, at ten o'clock in the evening, all the servants will return to the servant area on the first floor to rest. Those with higher status live in single rooms, while those with lower status sleep in bunks.

The personal servants who used to stay vigil in the master's living room would leave the second floor and return to their rooms at ten o'clock at the latest.

This was what Irving suggested. He didn't need anyone to stay up late at night.

In order to reflect his absolute hierarchy, David would also lock the iron door leading to the servant area from the corridor at ten o'clock at night to prevent servants from wandering around at night.

Including himself, he would not appear anywhere else in the castle except the servant area after ten o'clock.

Although David was a retired soldier who became a housekeeper, he had already made a lot of preparations for this before he started. Therefore, after arriving at Fucui Villa, I got started very quickly.

Moreover, Fucui Villa itself has the KPI assessment system brought by Xia Qingdai from modern times, which greatly facilitates David's management of the servants.

But something unexpected happened tonight, so he took out the key without hesitation, opened the iron door, and went upstairs to find the owner Owen. David walked into Owen's living room and knocked on the bedroom door, but there was no movement inside.

With a puzzled look on his face, he knocked a little harder on the door, but there was still no movement inside.

Just as David was hesitating whether to open the door directly and go in to see what was going on, subtle footsteps came from the corridor behind him.

He turned around suddenly and shouted: "Who is there?"

Under the dim candlelight, Owen's slender figure descended the stairs and appeared in the corridor.

"it's me."

"Mr. Earl," David said after bowing to Owen, "I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. Just because there were many gray-white flowing unknown liquids on the village road tonight, I think it is necessary to report to you in time."

Owen gently threw some emotional intelligence at his most loyal servant: "You did a good job, David. It is quite correct to notify him in time if anything unusual happens. I feel relieved to leave this home to you."

The young butler in his twenties couldn't help but straighten his back after hearing the compliment, but he knew that the master had not finished speaking yet, so he waited silently.

Sure enough, Owen paused and then continued: "As for the things on the village road outside, you don't have to worry. Just go to sleep in peace, this is the handiwork of the goddess."

David understood that it was exactly what he thought.

He bowed to Owen again and said: "In that case, there is nothing to worry about. Good night, Mr. Earl."

"Good night."

David went downstairs. He didn't ask Owen why he came down from the attic. This was the master's freedom.

Only servants, not masters, are allowed to run around at night. For the owner, as long as he wants to, he can go anywhere in this castle.

Owen returned to the bedroom and did not choose to close the curtains and go to bed. Instead, he returned to the window and quietly looked up at the looming face in the clouds.

Xia Qingdai took Xia Shanglu and repaired all the village roads visible in the glass jar with cement before letting him go out to code.

It was her first time working with cement, so she didn’t use much. The roads visible in the glass jar have been repaired anyway, so there will be no problem driving Ferraris in the future.

In order to speed up the drying of the cement road, Xia Qingdai also went to the locker in the bathroom to take out the hair dryer and set it to the hot air setting. Then plug the power into the socket on the bedside, then lie down on the glass jar and blow "woo-woo" at a close range against the cement road.

Owen listened to the extremely noisy sounds not far away, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. Just because now there is only a section of the goddess's arm in sight, and the man's rough hands are missing.

Modern high-power hair dryers are naturally powerful for such a small cement "road".

Because of the small quantity and the quick-drying cement that Xia Qingdai specially bought, the cement road hardened quickly with the hot air from the hair dryer.

Xia Qingdai held a hair dryer. It has been blown until the machine itself automatically cuts off the power when the temperature is too high, and then it is considered to be initially completed.

She used the little cement she had left to build two flower beds in the back courtyard of the castle.

"It's done." Xia Qingdai clapped her hands, then took off her disposable plastic gloves and threw them away, and then started to perform other "miracles".

Since Mozart's songs were successfully sold by her, Xia Qingdai's illness of being short of money and reluctant to spend it has been cured automatically.

In the past half month, she didn't know how many things from Lilliput she had bought online. At this moment, I am happily dismantling everything, intending to give a little shock to the little people in Lilliput.
