"Fritts, what are you thinking about?"
Noah asked curiously.
"Well, I've never seen such a mill or such a windmill before."
"what?"
Noah cried out in surprise, and then she asked in confusion:
"Aren't there mills like this in China?"
Lin Shangzhou thought for a moment and said, "There are windmills and mills, but I have never seen the two combined together, and there are no such windmills in my hometown."
"But you saw it today, didn't you?"
As if to comfort Lin Shangzhou, Noah chuckled and said.
"That's right."
Lin Shangzhou looked down at Nuoya and smiled. He pointed at the windmill that was constantly turning on the mill and said to the maid beside him, "Speaking of which, I once read a novel in which the protagonist regarded the windmill as a giant and fought with it, which ended up causing a farce."
"Hahaha, who is this guy? He has such a rich imagination that he can imagine a windmill as a giant. He is quite a talent."
Nuoya laughed and said. While laughing, she also became interested in the story of the novel that Lin Shangzhou told. So after laughing, she asked Lin Shangzhou: "What is the name of the novel? I will buy a copy if I have a chance to go out."
"Don Quixote"
"Okay, I remember that. Let's go and clean the mill quickly."
Noah walked to the door of the mill, opened it and walked in, and Lin Shangzhou followed her.
The space inside the mill is not very large, and on one side of the wall is a staircase leading to the second floor.
"Fritts, here, take the broom and clean the first floor. I'll go clean the second floor."
Taking the broom from Nuoya, Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then Nuoya climbed the ladder to the second floor.
The ground inside the mill was not very dirty, with only dust and fallen leaves floating in through the windows. Lin Shangzhou took some time to clean the fallen leaves onto the grass outside the mill.
After sweeping the first floor again, Lin Shangzhou put the broom down where Nuoya had taken it. He walked to the ladder and shouted up: "Nuoya, I'm done cleaning, how about you?"
Lin Shangzhou waited for more than ten seconds but didn't get a response from Noah. He was a little confused, so he climbed up the ladder. After reaching the second floor, he saw Noah sitting on the platform outside the door and slacking off.
He walked behind Noah, who seemed not to notice him. Lin Shangzhou lowered his head and looked at Noah who was slacking off. There were a few black birds beside her, and on a platform further away was an open cage on the ground.
"Noah, can I say you're being lazy?"
Lin Shangzhou said to Noah.
"Don't worry about being lazy or not, don't you think the scenery here is beautiful?"
Noah was trying to change the subject, but Lin Shangzhou didn't intend to pursue the matter too much. He looked up at the scenery in front of him. The scenery seen from a high place is often very good.
On the platform outside the second floor of the mill, one can see the Worship-Free Palace, the forest grassland, and the city in the distance. Looking carefully, Lin Shangzhou discovered that he could seem to see his own home as well.
(This is indeed a good place to fish)
Lin Shangzhou leaned against the wall and admired the scenery in the distance. The only drawback here was that the wind was a bit cold.
After a while, Lin Shangzhou saw a little bird jumping onto Nuoya's shoulder, so he reminded Nuoya: "Nuoya, there is a bird jumping on your shoulder."
"It's okay, just jump."
Noah said it nonchalantly, but it was impossible for Noah not to care about what happened next.
The black bird dropped a pile of bird shit on Noah’s shoulder, and the sticky substance that had not dried yet flowed down Noah’s clothes…
"Noah..."
Lin Shangzhou naturally saw this scene. The corners of his mouth twitched as he called Noah's name. He didn't know whether to tell Noah about this.
"what happened?"
Noah turned his head and looked at Lin Shangzhou with a hint of confusion on his face.
Lin Shangzhou didn't answer her, but pointed at her shoulder. Noah looked at her own shoulder, and when she saw the bird shit, she widened her eyes and screamed.
"Hey! Aaaaaah! The clothes I just washed!!!"
The screams scared away the birds around her, and also scared away the birds around the mill.
It took Noah a long time to calm down, and she walked into the mill with an unhappy look on her face.
"I would have chased away those birds earlier, Fritz. Let's go, it's time to go back."
"Ah."
Lin Shangzhou suppressed his smile and nodded. After Noya climbed down the stairs, he followed him down.
On the way back to Wuyou Palace, Noah didn't say a word. Lin Shangzhou tried to follow her and could feel the resentment in her. If he were in her place, he would also be angry.
After returning to Wuyou Palace, Noya went to change her clothes. Her departure left Lin Shangzhou with nothing to do again. He walked aside and sat on a chair to pass the time.
After a few minutes, he heard the sound of a cart. He looked up and saw a little brown-haired girl pushing a cart towards him. On the cart were several large boxes that looked very heavy.
Judging from her appearance and height, Lin Shangzhou felt that the little girl was no more than fourteen years old.
(Are you already a maid at such a young age?)
The little girl stopped a few meters away from Lin Shangzhou, then walked up to him, bowed, and said, "Hello, Mr. Fritz, my name is Luo Er, Aunt Elena said you are willing to help us with some work, can you please help me?"
"of course can."
Lin Shangzhou agreed without hesitation and helped Lol push the cart to the warehouse.
In the following time, Lin Shangzhou's life was not so easy. The news that he would help the maids with their work spread among the maids, which led to one maid after another coming to Lin Shangzhou for help.
Since the work was all easy, Lin Shangzhou enjoyed it.
After having lunch in the lounge at noon, Lin Shangzhou waited for the German Emperor to ask him to tell her a story. Elena came to tell him that the German Emperor’s teacher had temporarily added courses for her, so the German Emperor said he could go home directly and no longer had to stay in Wuyou Palace.
Lin Shangzhou could guess why the old lady would temporarily add courses for the German Emperor. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to go home.

Chapter 9 Uncle's Warning
After returning home, Lin Shangzhou parked the car in the garage and walked into the house. After entering the living room, he heard his uncle's snoring. After walking a few steps, he saw his uncle taking a nap on the sofa with a newspaper covering his face. In addition to the teapot and cups, there were several other newspapers on the table next to him.
He walked to the table and picked up the newspaper to take a look. The newspapers were all old ones, but they all contained Lovecraft's novels.
(Uncle really likes to read novels about crafts)
Lin Shangzhou smiled silently and put the newspaper back on the table. Then he saw that the dishes in the kitchen had not been washed yet, so he walked over and started doing housework.
While washing dishes, Lin Shangzhou heard his uncle's snoring in the living room disappear. He turned his head and saw Lin Yangyu sitting on the sofa, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Uncle, how did you sleep?"
Picking up a plate, Lin Shangzhou walked out of the kitchen and asked while wiping it.
"Shang Zhou...you're back...why did you come back so early?"
Lin Yangyu hadn't fully woken up yet. He looked at Lin Shangzhou in a daze and spoke vaguely.
Before Lin Shangzhou could answer his question, Lin Yangyu seemed to realize something and suddenly woke up, looking at his nephew standing by the kitchen door in surprise.
"Why are you back so early?!"
Looking at the surprised uncle, Lin Shangzhou said to him:
"Uncle, are you so surprised? His Majesty the Emperor has to attend classes all afternoon, so His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come back."
When Lin Yangyu heard his nephew say that the German Emperor had to attend classes in the afternoon, he knew what was going on without giving it much thought.
"Your Majesty has to attend classes all afternoon...Haha, in the morning, it was Ms. Valdina who went directly to Your Majesty to ask her to go to class, right?"
Lin Shangzhou nodded and said:
"Well, when I was telling a story to His Majesty the Emperor in the morning, she went over and took the Emperor to class."
"Shang Zhou, be more careful next time. Judging from the fact that she made His Majesty take classes for an entire afternoon, Ms. Valdina doesn't like you very much."
"Ah."
Keeping his uncle's words in mind, Lin Shangzhou turned and walked into the kitchen to continue working. Lin Yangyu sat on the sofa and continued reading the novel he had not finished.
After finishing his work, Lin Shangzhou came to the living room and found that his uncle was still reading a novel. He curiously went over and sat on the sofa, stretching his head to read the contents of the newspaper.
"Uncle, you like his novels so much.
"I have nothing to do. Although the things he wrote are weird, I think they are very interesting. I don't know what he was thinking about to write such strange things."
Lin Yangyu handed the newspaper in his hand to Lin Shangzhou and picked up another newspaper from the table.
"I've finished looking at this one, you can take a look."
Lin Shangzhou took the newspaper, glanced at the novel by Ai Shouyi and put the newspaper on the table. The work published in the newspaper was part of "The Dunwich Horror Incident". He had read this article a long time ago, so he was not very interested.
Lin Yangyu was concentrating on reading the novel in the newspaper. Seeing his uncle was so serious, Lin Shangzhou planned to leave and not disturb him. When he was about to stand up, his uncle suddenly asked:
"Shang Zhou, what do you think of the Emperor?"
"What do you think of His Majesty the Emperor?"
Lin Shangzhou sat down again, thinking back to the past two days he had spent with Alexandrine.
After thinking for more than ten seconds, he said to his uncle: "Let me say this, I think His Majesty the Emperor is a very good person, easy to get along with, and not much different from an ordinary girl, except that he has the identity of an emperor."
"Oh, we have similar ideas."
Lin Yangyu turned to Lin Shangzhou and said, Lin Shangzhou smiled and said, "I think anyone who has been with the Emperor will come to this conclusion."
"You could say the same thing."
Lin Yangyu nodded slightly, agreeing with his nephew's idea.
Then he changed his relaxed attitude and looked at Lin Shangzhou seriously. Lin Shangzhou also noticed the change in his uncle and looked at him in confusion.
"Uncle, why are you so serious?"
"Shang Zhou, you just said that the Emperor is not much different from an ordinary girl, he just took on the identity of the Emperor, right?"
Lin Shangzhou nodded.
Placing the newspaper on his lap, Lin Yangyu said to his nephew earnestly: "But no matter how different she is from an ordinary girl, she is also the emperor of the German Empire. You need to be careful about some things around her."
His uncle's words made Lin Shangzhou think deeply. Indeed, no matter how approachable and easy to get along with Alexandrine was, she was not an ordinary girl but the emperor of the German Empire.
(Uncle probably wants to give me some warnings)
Lin Shangzhou thought that his uncle, as a driver for two dynasties and a Chinese, must know more than him and would definitely give him some useful suggestions, so he also became serious.
"Uncle, what should I pay attention to?"
Lin Yangyu coughed and cleared his throat, then slowly said, "You just need to pay more attention when someone goes to the Worry-Free Palace to see Her Majesty Alexandrine. No matter who comes, don't take the initiative to greet the other party. If the other party comes to you, just answer the questions they ask and don't say anything else. Also, don't act too close to His Majesty the Emperor and Lady Cecilia in front of others, otherwise trouble will come to you."
At this point Lin Yangyu paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued after a few seconds:
"Two years ago, I was telling His Majesty the Emperor a story about Journey to the West in the office, and the Prime Minister's nephew Klein walked in for something. Nothing happened at the time, but when I got in the car to go home that night, someone in the car threatened me and told me to stay away from His Majesty. After that, I only told stories to His Majesty while I was driving. But you don't have to worry about the maids and guards in Wuyou Palace. You just need to pay attention when outsiders come to Wuyou Palace. Remember that."
(grass!)
After hearing his uncle's words, Lin Shangzhou's heart suddenly hung in his throat. He had told stories to the German Emperor in his office more than once. But soon his heart settled down. After all, his uncle was threatened because he was caught by the Prime Minister's nephew, and no outsiders had entered Wuyou Palace in the past two days.
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll pay attention to it next time."
Lin Shangzhou nodded. Lin Yangyu looked at his nephew who nodded, and seemed to have thought of something and said to him hurriedly: "You must not alienate your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor because of this..."
"Uncle, don't be anxious. Of course I know what you mean. Be more restrained in front of outsiders. The Emperor is such a good person. How could I take the initiative to distance myself from her? Hahahaha..."
Lin Shangzhou laughed and said. Seeing his nephew laughing, Lin Yangyu realized that he was a little anxious. He hit Lin Shangzhou's head lightly and said unhappily: "What are you laughing at, little brat? Remember what I said."
"Okay, I remember."
Lin Shangzhou stopped smiling and nodded repeatedly. He was in a good mood. The interaction with Lin Yangyu gave him the long-lost feeling of "home". He also liked it when elders gave advice to the younger ones. It was a very novel feeling for him.
In the afternoon, he and Lin Yangyu went to a nearby town to buy some things. In the evening, after washing up, he continued to work on the novelization of "Dark Soul 1".
In the following week, Lin Shangzhou's life was so leisurely every day, and his relationship with everyone in Wuyou Palace became better and better, except Valdina.
