Succubus' Manor

Chi Yan knows very little about succubi, only that this race was extinct very early, and that succubus are all charming, all are walking heartthrobs, other than that, I don't know much about it. Although there is also a brief introduction to each race, but this simplicity means very simple.

Parchment is expensive to make, and ordinary books will simplify complicated things to the extreme in order to save paper.

Except for the books preaching the teachings in the holy courtyard, it is like parchment that does not cost money, and a single nonsense can be repeated more than ten or twenty times.

"What about when I become an adult?" Chi Yan was more curious. Before he was an adult, he was already very popular. If he became an adult... wouldn't it be...

It's kind of scary to think about it.

Kleist understood Chi Yan's worry: "The succubus can control himself when he becomes an adult."

Underage succubi almost never appear in front of people. Chi Yan is probably a special case. Being able to live in the Holy Courtyard, on the other hand, allowed him to be protected and grow up in a relatively simple environment. He was sent to such a territory that was almost isolated from the world.

And there is also a seasoned butler on the territory.

This can only be called luck.

The adult succubus is more capable of deceiving people than the underage, but this kind of deception does not make the other party lose the ability to think. Once someone has a wrong mind, the succubus will also fall into the danger of being passive. Few, but one is scary enough.

Because this can prove that the greed that that person possesses is far greater than the influence that the succubus can bring.

And too much strong greed can turn a person into a devil.

Adult succubi can disguise themselves, disguise themselves as ordinary people, even if they are in the crowd, they will not be found, and they can get along with people normally.

Instead of everyone becoming his suitors or admirers.

Chi Yan's eyes widened: "This is good!"

He couldn't stand it long ago, he didn't have any friends other than Kleist with whom he could communicate on an equal footing, and the butler wasn't affected by his charm, but the butler never spoke beyond words.

In fact, Chi Yan sometimes feels a little lonely.

Although there are always many people in the castle, once Kleist leaves like this time, Chi Yan feels empty around him.

After learning about his adulthood, Chi Yan asked Kleist curiously: "What about the demons?"

Only then did Kleist introduce himself: "Do you know what the end of this continent looks like?"

Chi Yan shook his head. He just heard from Josh that some crew members went out to sea and brought back people with black skin, so he thought that there should be several continents here, and there should be a composition similar to Asia, Africa and Europe.

But only in legends and stories, there is a basis for the demons to live under the abyss.

Kleist: "The abyss is in the extreme north of this continent. There are no people or wild animals there. When you walk to the very edge, you will see a huge crack."

"The demons live under that crack."

Chi Yan felt as if he was listening to a story. He didn't have much sense of reality, just like he didn't have much sense of reality about being a succubus.

He looked at Kleist and waited intently for the other party to speak.

So Kleist talked a lot to Chi Yan, about the climate there, the bad environment there, he lived in the dark abyss since he was a child, when his mother died, he was less than six years old, and he inherited the blood of the devil king After that, the demons coveted his body.

As long as he eats him and drinks all the blood in his body, even the weakest demon can jump up and become the new ruler of the demon.

Kleist grew up in countless fights.

He grew up bathed in the blood of his kindred.

Kleist didn't hide anything: "When I first left the abyss, I didn't know where I was going."

He doesn't have any belongings of the race on the ground, no clothes, no belongings, he can only walk in the forest.

After Kleist finished speaking, he looked at Chi Yan: "Do you have any questions?"

Chi Yan asked in confusion: "Then those people you brought back..."

Kleist: "It's also demons, but only a small part."

Chi Yan's doubts for so long have finally been answered. No wonder those people look scary, not because of their appearance, but because of their temperament. Even Kadi secretly told him that the new group of people made them feel terrible. He shuddered, as if if he said a word or did a wrong thing, he would be killed by them.

Cardi returned to the post of servant after his hair grew back again. This time, he cried and begged Chi Yan not to abandon him. If he did not become Chi Yan's personal servant, he would not be able to survive. up.

So Kadi finally obtained the right to take care of Chi Yan's personal belongings after a long period of hard work and persistence.

The contact between the two is also more than before.

Even the housekeeper said to Chi Yan: "Although he is stupid and stupid, he is very loyal to you."

For servants, the word "loyalty" outweighs other advantages.

No matter how clever and capable a servant is, he cannot be used if he is not loyal to his master.

Chi Yan asked in a low voice, "They listen to you very much?"

Kleist smiled and said, "They will also listen to you."

Chi Yan quickly waved his hand: "You can take care of your people yourself, don't add to my workload, I've been so busy recently that I don't even have time to rest."

Kleist: "The steward said you've been sleeping since the beginning of winter."

Chi Yan was confident: "I'm going to be an adult, teenagers need more rest time to grow taller."

Speaking of being tall, Chi Yan asked again: "Will I grow taller when I become an adult? Should I? Is it possible to grow as tall as you?"

Seeing that Kleist hadn't spoken, Chi Yan quickly said, "It's fine if you're not as tall as you, or as tall as the housekeeper!"

Butler looks 1.7m1.7 to [-]m[-].

Chi Yan is not greedy, being this tall is enough, and he doesn't have to look up at most people.

Kleist sighed softly: "The succubus will always be that tall no matter how tall it was when it was an adult."

Chi Yan was shocked!Chi Yan was desperate!Chi Yan didn't believe it!

"I'm too short now!" Chi Yan was very angry, "Goblins and dwarves who are particularly well developed can be taller than me!"

Chi Yan immediately disliked the identity of the succubus: "Humans can still jump up at the age of 20, why should the succubus be set at the age of 16?"

Chi Yan said angrily: "Being a succubus is not good at all!"

It's that high! 1.6 meters!terrible!

Girls who are so tall can be called tall. Boys and girls of the same height, girls look taller. Their skeletons are smaller than boys, and the visual effect is better. But boys are so tall, they don’t look beautiful at all. up.

Chi Yan's sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He bit his lip and didn't speak, feeling sullen all by himself.

He was very wronged. He didn't want to come to this world. How good he was before crossing over. His parents had a good relationship and loved him very much. I went to a good university, and I was about to enter a new stage of my life, but I came here suddenly.

He is harassed by all kinds of demons and ghosts every day, and he persists only because he has a strong heart.

Height was only a small problem, but it suddenly brought out all his negative emotions.

Chi Yan was so depressed that Kleist sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted his back: "Why do you want to grow taller?"

Chi Yan said in a low voice, "I don't want to look up at people forever."

He still remembers that the school used to organize a basketball game. He didn't want to go, but he went to make up the number of people under the plea of ​​his classmates.

As a result, on the football field, the boys in the physical education class laughed at him as a little boy, saying that he couldn't see their faces clearly even if he raised his head.

It is said that boys who are not 1.7 meters are three-level disabled, and those under 1.7 meters and five are all unmanly.

What they said deeply hurt Chi Yan's self-esteem.

So he started exercising hard, drinking milk every day, hanging horizontal bars, and even wanted to go for surgery.

He tried all possible ways to grow taller, even the most unscientific way, and managed to jump over 1.7 meters.

Kleist grabbed Chi Yan's hand, and their palms were tightly intertwined.

"I'll make it so that you don't have to look up at people for the rest of your life."

Chi Yan: "..."

"I'm going to stand up."

Chi Yan lifted the quilt out of bed, then pulled Kleist to stand up too.

He raised his head to Kleist and said, "Do you think what you said is feasible?"

Chi Yan: "I can't even see your face from this angle!"

Kleist: "..."

Words have loopholes.

Chi Yan was still standing. After losing his temper, he returned to his senses and began to feel guilty again.

He stretched out his hand and hooked Kleist's finger with his little finger.

"I didn't lose my temper with you on purpose..." Chi Yan said guiltily, "It doesn't matter if I'm tall or not."

Chi Yan: "I'm not like this usually..."

Kleist bent down and hugged Chi Yan, who rested his forehead on Kleist's shoulder.

"I used to imagine that it would be great if I could grow to 1.8 meters." Chi Yan's voice sounded muffled.

Kleist: "I just said the wrong thing, you don't have to look up at anyone but me, I promise."

Chi Yan still didn't believe it, but his boyfriend had comforted him like this. If he loses his temper or gets sad again, he will feel sorry for the other party's concern and kindness.

So Chi Yan could only say: "As tall as you are, don't you have high heels? Get a pair when you go out to meet people in the future."

Anyway, the high-heeled shoes here are actually platform shoes, a bit like platform shoes, not real high-heeled shoes for women. If there is an insole inside, it should be able to raise his height by seven or eight centimeters.

No matter how tall it is, it won't work, no matter how tall it is, it will be stilts. Chi Yan is afraid that he will lose his balance and fall on the ground, which will be even more embarrassing.

Probably because he couldn't grow any taller, Chi Yan had no reaction to the fact that he was a succubus and Kleist was a demon.

In the next few days, Chi Yan was still the same as before, spending most of the time in a coma.

Kleist stayed by Chi Yan's side every day, and whenever Chi Yan's face turned pale, he would feed Chi Yan a few drops of his own blood.

Chi Yan's situation was up and down, but every time he opened his eyes, he could see Kleist sitting by the bed.

Sometimes Kleist was reading a book, sometimes Kleist held his hand.

This made Chi Yan feel at ease and safe every time he woke up.

The weather is getting colder, and the goose feather snow hits several times, and a big one can fall every two to three days. Fortunately, the houses in the territory have sloped roofs, and there is not much snow on them, but Still have to clean it regularly.

lest the house be crushed by the heavy snow.

Emma was cleaning the roof with her cousin. Today, the cousin was on vacation and he didn’t have to go to work in the castle. The two exchanged a little wheat and wheat bran from the dwarves for the ladder. Shovel down.

When my cousin came down, he was already sweating in the cold wind.

"What does your lord look like?" Emma asked her cousin curiously. She had been in the territory for so long and hadn't seen the lord yet.

I heard from other people that the lord sometimes walks around the territory, and they can take this opportunity to look at the lord more.

The cousin put away the ladder, walked back and said to Emma, ​​"Your Excellency is very good-looking."

After he finished speaking, his face turned red: "My lord's eyes are very beautiful. Have you ever seen amber? My mother said that my lord's eyes are like amber."

"My lord has been gentle with us," said the cousin. "He has never punished us."

Emma became even more curious: "Is your lord older?"

Cousin: "About my age, right?"

Emma: "The lord must not be married yet."

The cousin nodded: "There is no mistress in the castle yet, but you are still young, and you are not in a hurry to get married."

There are not many aristocrats who are over forty and unmarried, but most of them have a bunch of illegitimate children.

Emma asked her cousin, "Are you your lord's personal servant?"

The personal servant is a very important position, which can only be held by the lord's most trusted servant.

The cousin often brought back precious things. Three days ago, the cousin brought back a few pieces of candy. The yellowish candy was the sweetest and happiest food Emma had ever eaten. My brother must have held an important post in the castle.

Otherwise, the Lord Lord would never reward such a precious thing to his cousin.

But the cousin shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary manservant, doing some simple work."

Emma didn't believe it: "Come on, you brought back the candy, the adults must like you very much."

The cousin sighed with some melancholy: "If only the adults like me."

Emma's eyes widened.

Cousin: "But I'm not good-looking, adults don't like me."

The cousin didn't want to continue answering Emma's question, so he asked directly: "Do you want to be a maid in the castle?"

Emma nodded quickly, she also wanted to earn candy, and she thought she was good at work and didn't need a servant.

But the cousin said: "Don't think about it, there is no shortage of people in the castle. If you work hard outside, you can still earn sugar. Didn't you earn white bread two days ago?"

Emma smiled: "Don't you think you can earn more?"

She had never had such an opportunity before!

When she was in the city, she had no work to do, she was a woman, her strength was weaker than that of a man, and she could not go to many places.

They can't even pick wild vegetables, and their hands will be cut off if they are found, but their family is not so sad that they take risks.

But after coming here, she can earn enough food to support her family on her own. When she gets along with her family, she finally doesn’t feel that hopeless suffocation. Now she works in the spinning room, while her mother cuts clothes and her father It is to learn some woodworking crafts from the dwarves.

Just when Emma wanted to continue talking to her cousin, she turned her head and saw a figure not far away.

There were very, very many people, and the two leaders were riding on horses. Because the distance was a little far, Emma couldn't see clearly. She just subconsciously grabbed her cousin's sleeve, stretched out her hand nervously, and pointed at the person who came. The direction said: "There are people there!"

Emma realized in an instant that she knew there were robbers nearby. Although she hadn't encountered any robbers on the way here, it didn't mean it was safe here. She ran back and wanted to tell her parents to hide in the woods together.

"Come with me! Let's hide in the woods!" Emma was very excited.

But the cousin stood where he was, squinting his eyes, and looked at the group of people carefully.

"Don't go, it's not a robber." The cousin smiled, "It's Albert and Lord Carl."

Emma stood there blankly: "My lord?"

The cousin nodded: "It's Sir Knight."

Emma's eyes widened: "Knight?!"

All little girls dream of marrying a knight.

Knights are different from nobles. They are brave and good at fighting, and they are also literate. Compared with nobles, they are more like heroes.

Girls love heroes just as much as boys.

Worship and admiration have become even if they have never met, even if they only know that the other party is a knight, they will have a strong affection.

The cousin smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go there together."

Emma is a little silly.

So the cousin took her and ran over together.

Emma saw two knights at close range. They were dressed thickly, and the cloaks made of animal fur made them look very dignified. They were riding on horses, holding the reins in their hands, and there was a long line behind them. People wore their thickest clothes and followed Albert and Karl with their luggage.

This was the first group of people brought back by Albert and Carl. They paid a lot of money for it. The sugar and cloth they brought out, as well as the money needed to come and go, were all given to the nobles.

The nobles all have big appetites, except for Viscount Benedict, who kindly said that this year, due to the early arrival of the locust plague, a lot of food was lost, so his friends are willing to accept these people. He is very happy and will not charge any money from friends. penny.

Even to express his gratitude, Viscount Benedict sent some blankets over.

They are all very good blankets, very thick and delicately made.

By the way, Albert and Karen were given a cloak each.

So this time they went out, apart from bringing people back, it was not completely fruitless.

What attracts the most attention is not the two knights, but the commoners who staggered in the snow, supported each other, their expressions were numb, and their bodies were almost frozen. They can pull a cart, they have no property.

In the city where they lived, they took out all the property that could be exchanged for food. When Albert and the others came to lead them away, they could only pack up the few things left at home, such as a few Bad blanket that can't be replaced.

Although Lord Knight said that they came to pick them up instead of their relatives.

But no one believed it, they only thought they were sold by the lord.

was sold as a slave.

But it's better to live than to starve to death.

So they followed the two knights obediently, braving the cold wind all the way, and trekking over with difficulty.

Their legs were already numb from the cold, and many people died on the road.

But they can drink hot soup every day, and when it's time to eat, Lord Knight will order them to build a fire, and then cook a strange food in a big clay pot, that kind of food is like a stone before it is cooked. The same, but after cooking, it is soft and sweet.

Moreover, there is a lot of this kind of food, so the knight specially bought a few donkeys and asked them to pull the cart full of that kind of food.

Whenever they eat, they feel the happiest when they can drink hot soup and eat soft and delicious food.

"Lord Albert!" The cousin stopped the horse, raised his head and smiled at Albert.

Albert glanced at him and smiled: "Joe, you look stronger."

Joe pulled the horse forward: "Do you want to take a shower first? There is still hot water in the shower room."

Albert scratched his head: "It's time to take a bath, lest adults say I don't pay attention to personal hygiene."

Adults sometimes have some strange words in their mouths. They have heard a lot and understand the meaning of these words.

Joe: "Where is Master Karl?"

Carl said on the side: "I also have to take a shower, Joe, you let Cardy settle these people, let them have a place to tidy up first, and give them hats so that they don't catch cold after shaving their heads."

Joe's expression changed when he heard Cardi's name, but he still said, "Yes, I'll call Brother Cardi."

Karl nodded: "Bring them some hot water to drink, and don't let them see their relatives first, so that lice won't spread around after hugging each other."

Cady ran out of the castle in a hurry, and he asked Joe as he walked, "Why didn't you call me when the knight came back?"

Joe: "...I didn't expect..."

Cady didn't ask further, but he gave Joe a warning look over his shoulder.

Now that he has become the lord's personal servant, no matter how busy or tired he is, he can persevere. The reason why the lord lets him do things is because he trusts him.

But Cardi wouldn't be a nice guy if someone tried to push him off as a valet.

"Take them to the barn first," Cardy said.

All the wheat in the barn has been moved to the cellar. The barn is large and has been repaired so that there is no air leakage.

Cardi: "Light some braziers in the barn."

The servants were quick to do as Kadi asked.

The civilians also walked out of the house after hearing the noise.

"That's my sister!"

"That's my brother!"

"That's my uncle!"

They wanted to get close to their relatives, but the servants stopped him.

"When they eat something, take a bath, and the lice are gone, you can hug each other every day if you want."

"Now, go back to the house. It's cold outside. If you are sick, no one can cure you!"

The civilians didn't want to go back, but they didn't dare to approach either.

I can only watch my relatives walk into the barn.

Family reunion under such circumstances is a story they can only hear in fairy tales.

Beautiful is a little unreal.
