Is the night devil queen me?

"What's wrong?" Qian Yueying looked at Nasha and asked.

"Lucy taught me to recognize that this carriage should be the lord's retainer, with the lord's aristocratic logo on the carriage." Nasha continued, "Let's continue to be vigilant, Lucy should have noticed it too. , she will come out soon."

In the carriage, sitting is the emissary sent by Cruise. He is also the housekeeper of the Lord Carritt's house, a tall middle-aged man.

He opened the curtains and looked outside. For some reason, he always felt that the mansion he used to live in was quiet and terrifying. He didn't see any servants or guards during the whole process. According to Mr. Cruise's instructions, the people who lived here should be the same. A nobleman of extraordinary status is right, but this feeling of emptiness doesn't feel like any nobleman would live here.

The carriage continued to drive and stopped at the gate of the house. The butler opened the door and walked down. Looking around, the magic lights were on. It can be seen from some details that there seemed to be many people here just now. Moving around, it seems to disappear instantly, giving people a creepy feeling.

"My lord, I always feel that something is wrong." The soldier stepped forward, seeming to find the atmosphere very strange.

"It's okay, I guess someone will come out to receive you later." The butler said slowly. In his understanding, those who can buy this house must be famous people. Attack indiscriminately.

Sure enough, the gate of the house slowly opened, but what came out was a beautiful girl with long purple hair and an unusually hot figure.

The appearance of this young girl caused the soldiers to stare straight at him.

The succubi are born with an irresistible allure to men, even a housekeeper with good determination can't help but take a few more glances at their proud body.

"Your Excellency must be the butler of Lord Carrit's mansion." Lucy said first, and immediately pulled the butler back from his trance.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, the housekeeper coughed in embarrassment, and said in surprise, "Ah, it's my servant. I didn't expect this beautiful young lady to know me, an unknown person. May I ask who you are..."

"I am the steward here, Steward Balsamo, please come in."

Lucy's speech made the housekeeper even more surprised. He never expected that when they met for the first time, the other party knew her identity and even knew her name. According to Mr. Cruise, they should all be foreigners.

"Excuse me." The butler followed behind Lucy, seeing her swinging her round butt, and quickly looked away to avoid losing her composure again.

The soldiers also came back to their senses, and hurried in behind the butler.

"Please sit down." When she came to the hall, Lucy made a gesture of invitation.

"No need, beautiful lady butler, this time I'm here to convey our respected lord lord's sincere greetings." The butler said with a salute.

"Thank you very much, butler, please thank the lord for your kindness on behalf of my master. I am very sorry. We who have just moved here are busy with affairs. Otherwise, my master must visit the lord first, and there is no need to bother the housekeeper."

In a few words, the housekeeper was surprised that even the purpose of his trip was guessed by the girl in her 20s, and this elegant and shrewd attitude, just like an experienced old fox .

"Hahahaha, your lord is too polite, you have traveled so hard, how can I bother you, beautiful lady, tomorrow the lord will come to visit in person, considering that you have just moved here and have not yet fully settled down. , Lord Lord specially sent me here, just not wanting to disturb everyone."

Chapter 83 Communication

"This is really flattering. The lord is as kind and elegant as the people in this area say. I will definitely convey it to the master of the house." With a soft smile on her face, Lucy stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, He invited again, "Please sit down, Mr. Steward, I trouble you to come all this way, we happen to have some special wines brought from outside, you must try it, so don't refuse."

"Ahahaha...then it's better to be respectful than obedient." However, Lucy's kind invitation was hindered, and the butler finally sat down.

Humans are very easy to understand creatures. Even though some humans may give people an unfathomable feeling due to their age and experience, their appearance, habitual movements, and eyes will reveal some information.

Lucy is very good at observing people. This is also a skill she learned in order to survive and not be beaten when she was a slave.

It can be seen from the butler's big wine belly and the slight smell of alcohol when he speaks that he should be an alcoholic. This guess was also confirmed in his slightly shaken eyes when Lucy mentioned the word "good wine" just now. .

Although it was only a brief contact, the butler in front of him did not give a bad impression to Lucy. He also gave Lucy a leery look, but unlike the soldiers he brought, he kept restraining himself.

Moreover, wine is a good thing. For human beings, wine is an intermediary of communication. It can make people talkative. This is what Lucy wants. She wants to get some information from it.

Lilith has always said that sooner or later they will have to contact humans. To gain status and information in this empire, they need to accumulate step by step. It is the same in any era. Winning people's hearts has always been a good shortcut.

Knowing this well, Lucy bought a few cases of good wine with a sum of money when she went shopping with Shera before moving, just to prepare for this situation.

The housekeeper sat down, looked around, and was still as quiet as ever. After a while, he asked, "Dear Miss Housekeeper, I think you may not have enough servants when you just came here. I am familiar with this house. But it’s far bigger than imagined, or else, I’ll go back and report to the lord, and I’ll send you fifty servants.”

Lucy knew what he meant. Based on the habits of demon girls, it is estimated that they have not seen anyone along the way since they came in, so they made such a tactful question that was half probing and half giving benefits.

"Thank you, Lord Steward, for your kindness. Lord Cruise also said so, but the Lord Patriarch doesn't like outsiders. All of us have followed the Lord Master for many years."

"Hahaha, that's it. The Patriarch must be a person who likes to be clean. If I hadn't met Miss Butler, I would almost have thought that I had come here by mistake." The butler laughed.

"My lord butler is really good at joking." Lucy agreed with a smile, and at this moment, two demon girls suddenly appeared with a bottle of wine and two wine bottles.

"!" The butler also has some cultivation, and the sudden appearance of two demon girls surprised him, because he hadn't noticed any aura since just now, where did they appear from?

The soldiers around him were also startled and put their hands on their weapons.

The two demon girls ignored them, but put the wine glass in front of Lucy and the butler, opened the wine cork, and filled it for them.

"Please use it slowly." A demon girl said lightly.

"Ah...thank you." Out of politeness, the housekeeper responded with a smile, but the smile seemed a little stiff.

"Please forgive me, Steward, the place where we lived before was a nameless little empire in perennial wars. My subordinates are used to hiding their aura." Seeing the strangeness of the steward, Lucy explained.

"I lost my composure..." The butler laughed awkwardly, and glared at the soldiers beside him, before they took their hands off their weapons and stood up straight.

The two demon girls stood beside Lucy quietly, expressionless, their eyes were cold, and the butler had a lot of experience. He could tell that these two beautiful girls were definitely masters who had experienced countless killings. The ability to make people unable to detect the breath just now is just like a terrifying assassin.

and……

He squinted his eyes and looked at his soldiers, obviously a little shaken, just two people, in terms of momentum, they were able to overwhelm so many well-trained soldiers of his own.

The butler felt that he was becoming more and more unable to guess them.

Not simple, these people are not simple.

"An empire that has been at war all year round? Could it be the one on the south side of the mainland?" The butler made a mistake on purpose. There is no empire at all on the south side of the mainland. A large part of it is desert, and he wants to test Lucy.

"No, it's the junction of the Star-Moon Empire and the Fiat Empire. The south side is almost a desert, and it's the world of the Beastmen. Mr. Butler, did you get drunk after smelling the wine first?"

"Ahahaha... I'm sorry, I'm getting old, sometimes my head can't work, please don't mind, miss the housekeeper." The housekeeper paused and continued, "However, to be able to develop successfully in such a place, It’s also a skill.”

"Not at all. In the past, we were a mercenary group, and we were always trying to survive on the edge of a knife. After the death of the former master, he didn't want the young master to continue to live that kind of life, so we moved here. We are not familiar with the place of life. In the future You still need a lot of care from the housekeeper."

"Oh? Little master? Dare I ask the age of the master..."

"Just turned fifteen this year." Lucy replied.

"Hahaha, easy to talk about."

When Lucy said this, she came up with such a reason in consideration of Lilith's appearance and age, in order not to make people suspicious.

"Then thank you, Mr. Butler, I will do it first as a respect." Lucy raised her glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Good drinker!" the butler complimented, took a sip himself, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Good wine! I've heard that the border between the Star-Moon Empire and the Fiat Empire, although there are years of war, the wine is the best. , that winery...what is it called..."

"Bootsie Winery in Keel Hill," Lucy added.

"exactly!"

"As long as the butler likes it."

After the spirits poured into his stomach, the butler also opened up his chatterbox, and began to say something that interested Lucy.

Lucy didn't drink less, but there was nothing unusual about it, which made the housekeeper very admired. Such a young girl came out of the war-torn empire really differently. The little master of her family is really lucky to have such a talented person to assist her. .

Gradually, it was already late at night, and the butler was very satisfied and ready to leave.

Lucy sent him out, and the demon girl came out with two bottles of wine and handed them to the soldier beside the butler.

"This is for the lord. It's a small gesture, not a respect. Please, the housekeeper, convey the greetings to the lord on behalf of our lord." Lucy said softly.

"Hahahaha, definitely."

Then, Lucy took another bottle of wine from another demon girl and put it in the butler's hand.

"Miss Housekeeper, this is..."

"This is yours, Mr. Steward. I don't think you will refuse it, Mr. Steward.

"Hahahaha, you are really... okay, I won't be hypocritical anymore. If you have anything to ask me in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to help. At that time, Miss Housekeeper, you can't be hypocritical. What's the matter?" If it's difficult, just speak up." The butler was very happy.

"It's enough to have you." This is what Lucy wants.

After the butler's carriage left, Lucy stood at the gate, her face suddenly turned livid, and she covered her mouth.

"Wow, Master Lucy, are you okay?" The demon girls were startled, and quickly patted her on the back.

"Well... I... I'm fine... The wine is terrible..." Lucy waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

"Don't be brave if you don't know how to drink." At some point, Madam suddenly appeared behind Lucy, and said with a smile.

"Then you come..." Lucy gave her a blank look.

"Hahaha, forget it, forget it, I don't like drinking with these humans, but this time it's a good start. I think this old guy should say a few more good things when he goes back."

"Otherwise, what do you think I did this for?"

"thank you."

"It's nothing." Lucy said so in her mouth, but she thought in her heart that this kind of situation would probably happen in the future, and she suddenly felt a little tired.

"Oh, it must have been hard work. Come to my room tonight, and I'll give you a massage. By the way, you can sober up." Madam showed a malicious smile.

"Forget it, I don't know about your little thoughts. Although I don't know how to drink, I'm not drunk yet. Forget what Master Lilith said today, be careful that Master Lunyue will accompany you tonight." Lucy turned around , ignored Madam, and walked towards his room.

Hearing Lunyue's name, Madam's delicate body shook, and she laughed awkwardly, "I'm just kidding, okay, okay, I'm going to rest, it's already late."

Chapter 84 Conversation

"My dear housekeeper, it seems that you have been treated graciously, and your face is flushed with wine."

In the lord's mansion, the lord Karit smiled faintly, and Cruise on the side also smiled in agreement.

The butler in front of him is a trusted confidant who has assisted him for many years, so Carritt's attitude is very gentle.

"My lord, please don't make fun of my old bones." The butler bowed his head respectfully. Even though he knew his position in the lord's heart, he never neglected etiquette, which is one of the reasons why he was trusted. .

"My old friend, how many times have I told you, don't be so restrained, just sit down."

"This subordinate is just a retainer, so I don't dare to be rude." The butler's attitude was still humble and loyal, even though he was a little confused after drinking, he still remained motionless.

Karit showed a helpless expression and glanced at Cruise beside him.

Cruise smoothed things over and said, "Old butler, you still have something to report to the lord, since you've been drinking, sit down, or you'll be disrespectful to the lord when you get drunk, right?" ?”

"This..." The steward hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and saluted, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you Lord Lord and Lord Cruise."

After finishing speaking, the butler sat down and gave a look to the servant beside him.

The servant understood what he meant, and respectfully brought up the wine that Lucy had given them.

"My lord, this is the buyer I visited this time. The fine wine they sent is from the Boots Girl Winery in Dragon Bone Mountain. It is a rare top-quality product." The butler introduced.

"Oh?" Both Carret and Cruise's eyes lit up, "Isn't this fine wine produced in the war-torn zone at the junction of the Fiat Empire and the Star-Moon Empire? I heard that almost all of them are out of stock now, even The royal family of our empire may not be able to get it, they are really generous, so you have met their masters?"

In Carritt's mind, the person who can give the second-class valuables, except the head of the family, no one dares to decide on his own.

"No... I haven't seen their patriarch, Lord Lord."

"What? Who is receiving you?"

"It's a young and beautiful butler." Thinking of Lucy, the butler suddenly said with emotion, "The younger generation is full of talents. Sometimes, I really have to obey the old ones. That young girl, she showed her demeanor and kindness." Extraordinary intelligence, and extremely smooth in dealing with people, even I feel inferior."

"It's really rare to get such praise from you, the butler." Carret was a little surprised. He knew that his butler, although easy-going, was extremely harsh on others. He didn't know how long he hadn't heard him praise like that. A person, let alone a young girl meeting for the first time.

The steward slowly told the lord what he saw and what he learned.

After the butler finished speaking, both the lord and Cruise fell into deep thought.

"You mean, they all come from that empire that has been at war all year round? And they are all a group of women? The head of the family is just a 15-year-old young boy?" The lord expressed doubts, "Do you think what she said is true? ?”

"Yes, I think the credibility is very high. Although the young butler's subordinates have not been in contact with each other for a long time, the temperament and cultivation they showed are not simple. It is a bit embarrassing to say it. More than a dozen of us are well-trained The bodyguard, from the air field, was suppressed by the other two servant girls."

"Interesting, it seems that the neighbors this time are very special." The lord trusted the butler very much, and since he had already said so, there would be no doubts.

"Since just now, housekeeper, you have been speaking well for them, and it seems that you have reaped some benefits." Cruise laughed.

"This..." The butler smiled awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter. It's not difficult to see from their actions that they also want to establish a good relationship with us, and they agree with what they need to do when they first arrive, and they also pay the corresponding sincerity. I will go there tomorrow and I will know. The value they can bring, although I trust the housekeeper's eyes, I still want to see it with my own eyes."

"Of course." The butler answered with a bow.

After chatting for a few more words, the butler was still drunk, so he went to rest first. In the room, only Carrit and Cruise were left.

"Cruise, what do you think?" Karit took out two wine glasses, opened the fine wine brought by the servant just now, and poured two glasses.

"The subordinates feel that they gave such generous gifts for the first time they met. They must have sincerely wanted to establish a good relationship with us. It seems that they really hope to gain a foothold here quickly, but their Patriarch is only a 15-year-old boy... ..." Cruise picked up the wine glass, and seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.

"It's just you and me here, Cruise, let's talk straight." Carret took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and nodded in satisfaction, "It really is a good wine! We can be regarded as enjoying the royal family." level of treatment."

"My lord, when I met the red lady, I felt that she was an extraordinary person, and she also possessed such a rare thing as a half-elf. The young girl the butler met was full of praise. Even the subordinates They are also a group of extraordinary people, and it is conceivable that the rest of them must be extremely good, and their patriarch is just a fifteen-year-old boy who inherited his father's position..." Cruise shook his head, showing a regretful expression ,: "At first I thought it was some kind of character. Hearing what the steward said, I felt a little inferior, and we are now in the midst of employing people."

"Hahahaha!" The lord suddenly laughed loudly, "Have you thought about poaching the other party's subordinates before you actually got in touch with that patriarch? You, you, are you thinking too much?" gone."
