Nigel shook his head.
After that turmoil, many things happened.
Among them, the Senate hopes that he will take over District 10 of the Posen Demon Realm instead of his teacher Perlman, and the Demon Realm hopes that Nigel will take the lead in thoroughly investigating the historical issues left by the great wizard Parroni's Grudge. Yi refused and chose to stay with Mr. Tiffany.
Correspondingly, because he became the hero on the surface of this battle, deeply trusted by the residents of Huadu and the demons of the Posen Demon Realm, he was promoted from the colonel of the Parrie Defense Force of the Posen Kingdom to the lieutenant general in response to public expectations. Military rank.
The only job Nigel took on was the aftermath.
For example, he took over the investigation of the Baptiste family on his own initiative.
He is good at completing a report without loopholes under the premise of complete truth, and at the same time, he does not want some hostile factions of the Baptiste family to take this opportunity to harm the Baptiste family.
Inoan was the one he had rescued from the crazy demon clan in the Posen Demon Realm. Later, after experiencing the battle on that rainy night, he roughly knew the story and outcome of the incident.
The two chatted.
The butler of the Baptiste family was in the corner of the living room.
He was still dressed like that, in a black butler's uniform with a dark green striped bow tie at the collar.
The brown-haired butler with green eyes was silently preparing tea at a small table in the corner of the living room. He skillfully put the tea leaves into the silver teapot, poured in hot water, and then closed the pot lid to let the tea leaves expand in the hot water. , a fragrant tea fragrance filled the air.
The head of the family and the officer were chatting at the long table. Both of them had a solemn expression, their brows were slightly furrowed, and they exchanged opinions in a low voice.
"You two, please have some tea."
The butler served tea to the two men and his eyes accidentally met the officer's.
They nodded slightly to each other.
Despite their familiarity, they exchanged brief greetings as they went about their work, each focusing on the duties at hand.
"Rocky, thank you for your hard work and coming to our house today."
The head of the family, Count Baptiste, thanked Lanqi directly.
"It's okay, it should be."
Ranchi replied and put the tray away, not disturbing them again.
He felt like he didn't have much work to do today.
This old house is half the size of the Earl's Mansion on the North Shore, and the maids have done a good job in keeping it organized.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Qi walked forward along the corridor and up the stairs to the second floor, the thick carpet absorbing the sound of his footsteps.
When he came to the small living room on the second floor, he saw Miss Christina sitting by the high floor-to-ceiling window.
At this moment, she was holding her chin in ecstasy and looking out the window, her eyes reflecting the colorful autumn scenery of Huadu Parrieu.
Her hair was cut short, only reaching her shoulders. It was partially scorched by the mysterious demon that came that day, and it looked like this after trimming it.
Lan Qi walked to Christina and gently placed the tea tray on the round table nearby.
Christina seemed to wake up from her meditation and turned to look at Lan Qi.
"It turns out to be Rocky."
Christina gradually relaxed, her eyes fell on the autumn scenery outside the window again, and her thoughts drifted away again.
Red-brown maple leaves danced in the breeze, and a few fallen leaves clung lightly to the glass.
"Miss, why do you look so listless?"
The butler asked, standing behind and to her right with a smile.
Christina looked back at Lan Qi and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
This butler stands out as a kind of annoying old man who knows everything but always asks questions.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea. The warmth of the tea seemed to dispel some of the coolness of autumn.
"Rocky, thank you for the linden flower tea."
Christina said softly, her voice as smooth as silk.
"If you need anything, just let me know."
Lan Qi stepped back in time and said to her.
Just as Lan Qi was about to leave.
"Rocky, stay with me for a while."
Christina said in vain.
"It's unbelievable that the lady doesn't dislike me anymore."
Lan Qi paused, returned behind her, and spoke in slight surprise.
Christina glanced at him.
"Actually, I also discovered that you are not a bad person. It was my fault for preconceptions that you were wrong. I should thank you for your care of our family during this period."
She spoke frankly,
"If you think about it carefully, you taught Ino'an how to be a kind person. I don't know anything. Only you who know more about the situation have the right to speak."
Normally I don't want to communicate with Butler Rocky at all. For some reason, I feel like I can only say something to him.
After Lan Qi heard this, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
"...Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding, and love is the bridge between poor knowledge and rich knowledge."
He also followed Christina's gaze.
Christina and Ivanos are not from the same world.
It is impossible for Christina to understand Ivanos, and Ivanos's longing for Christina will never be conveyed.
But this does not mean that the brief intersection between their life trajectories is not beautiful.
At least Christina will understand in her future life that her kindness and bravery can infect others and even create miracles.
"Rocky, let me tell you, you are really amazing. You actually taught Enouan so much healthy and correct knowledge."
Whenever Christina thinks of Inoan's true identity as the Bishop of Destruction, she feels like she has been in a dream during this period.
Not quite a real dream.
Her company alone may not be able to change Inoan.
It was also thanks to a good teacher like Rocky, who created a new concept of right and wrong, good and evil for the blank sheet of paper.
"Why, miss, do you want to listen too?"
Lan Qi understood and asked her with interest.
He remembered that whenever Christina took Enoch for psychological counseling, Christina would fall asleep listening to it.
If you are a teacher, he will actually feel sad if there are such students in your class.
"Well, I don't really like discussing philosophical issues, and I think my mentality is quite normal. Do you think I need to learn it?"
Christina shook her head but asked him.
She felt that the things that housekeeper Rocky usually talked about were neither as practical as magic, nor as easy to access in life as humanities and social sciences, nor as basic and universal as mathematics and science.
"This is a science that you won't be troubled by if you don't learn it."
Lan Qi lowered her eyelashes and replied with a slight smile.
"I thought you would seduce me into learning like a salesman."
Christina stared at Ranch behind her.
I always felt that this butler had changed a bit, but looking at his expression and tone, I might have looked away.
"But Rocky, did you notice something?"
Christina asked him again.
"what's up?"
Lan Qi asked, leaning slightly in confusion.
"Today is Wednesday."
Christina also answered with doubts.
Although it is a declarative sentence, it has a questioning tone.
"I'm extremely sorry. My absence from work on Monday was a major work mistake on my part and I won't make any excuses."
Lan Qi leaned forward in embarrassment.
"..."
Christina stared at him, feeling that he really blamed himself.
She didn't mean to torture him, but she just felt that he really didn't notice the problem. In fact, today was a day off.
However, she found it quite interesting to see this all-rounded butler still behave like this.
"I didn't expect you to miss work, Rocky."
Christina said to herself, raising a half arc,
"But that's okay. A housekeeper like you is obviously unqualified. Is it reasonable for me to fire you for this reason?"
she added.
"...I really have nothing to say, I can only go out."
Lan Qi looked at her helplessly and smiled, feeling that this might be a flaw in his career that could not be erased.
He was fired because of absenteeism. He never thought that such a day would happen since he first became the principal.
"Then, when my money arrives at the Holy Silver Vine Arena, I will call you and sign a termination contract with you."
Christina nodded with satisfaction,
"Okay, go and do your work, Butler Rocky. But you are still welcome to the Baptiste family in the future, and you can come to our house to play at any time."
She turned around and waved to Lan Qi, as if she was saying goodbye to him.
"..."
