Chapter 865: The Old Emperor's Urgent Summons

Regarding the Bird of Paradise Knights, Albert was still very clear.

Not only was their combat power formidable, but the Commander was also a meticulous guy.

A few days' time should be enough for them to investigate something.

"Let's go, let's go, first fill our stomachs then talk, also regarding the matter of energy deviation you mentioned just now, I feel we can modify it a little bit more."

Albert, no longer thinking too much about it, shook his head.

Then with a wave of his big hand, he led Lan Qingyou towards the direction of Small Chicken Alley.

And for a guy like Lan Qingyou, there wasn't that much to think about.

What matter is it that a meteorite cannot solve?

If there is!

To tell the truth, the previous meteor shower was caused by a bunch of disgusting Britt Rats imitating her.

So in a strict sense, Lan Qingyou still had never truly executed a Forbidden Curse-like ultimate move such as a meteor shower.

...

The next day.

When Lan Qingyou woke up from her sleep, it was already almost noon.

"Hello Sir Lan Qingyou."

The first thing after getting up was letting others manipulate her.

That's right, just letting others manipulate her.

Because the maids would swarm up at the first instant she woke up to carry out a 'fully automatic' washing process for her.

Originally Lan Qingyou didn't have experience in this aspect.

After all, she was just a cripple, not some noble, and didn't have a throne to inherit at home.

So on the first day when she encountered this kind of thing, she was even startled.

She even 'put up a desperate resistance'.

But after learning it was the etiquette of nobles in this world, she just let it be.

After all, having fought battles for so long, shouldn't she enjoy a bit?

Moreover, these maids were all professional.

Not only would they not hurt her, but it was actually very comfortable.

So much so that she was so pleased she specially got a few Golems to learn on the side.

And attempted to write such a set of programs out, so as to continue using it after returning.

Corrupt, degenerate...

But very satisfying!

"Sir Lan Qingyou, may I ask if you slept comfortably last night?"

"Hmm... as expected, compared to the bed in my own hometown, it still lacks a bit of flavor."

"Then may I ask what flavor?"

"It's just that kind of very quiet, very soft and fluffy feeling, giving people a kind of feeling that even just lying on the bed doing nothing is also an enjoyment, and possesses an extreme sense of security."

"So that's how it is, soft, fluffy, and a sense of security? I understand."

Scratch—— Scratch—— Scratch——

At the side.

A maid was using a pen to rapidly record something in a notebook.

This was feedback.

It was the feedback on the 'comfort level' of Lan Qingyou living in this riverside villa.

Assuming there was anything that dissatisfied her, raising it when waking up, it absolutely could be solved before going to sleep.

Even far exceeding her expectations.

She also didn't know if the nobles of this world were all like this.

Or if it was a treatment uniquely belonging to Title Holders.

Anyway, without any accidents, before going to sleep tonight, her bed should undergo a major transformation right.

Uh...

Or rather, it actually had already transformed twice.

Upgraded from the initial ordinary bed to warm velvet, and then upgraded from velvet to a mattress made of Furball Beast fur, which was said to cost ten Gold Coins for a palm-sized piece.

Raising opinions on the bed again today.

It should have to upgrade another level tonight.

To tell the truth.

Lan Qingyou actually just said it casually.

But who made these maids so serious about it.

So she also wanted to see where the limit of these maids was.

Thus.

After finishing recording, this maid begged pardon and left.

And her original position was immediately filled by another maid holding a notebook and pen.

Waiting for the next inquiry.

Look!

This is called professional!

After finishing washing, it was eating, then reading books.

It could be said Lan Qingyou spent every day like this recently.

However, this afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived.

This person was none other than the Commander of the Flamingo Knights, Horn.

"Commander Horn, I wonder what matter you have coming to find me?"

Because it was fundamentally impossible for the other party to be so bored they'd come find her.

Then what was left could only be business matters.

"Sir Lan Qingyou, sorry to intrude. Last night there was news saying some incredible things were discovered in the Wailing Marsh."

"Right now, His Majesty the Emperor is summoning the several great Title Holders to proceed to the Imperial Palace to discuss matters."

After Horn arrived at the study, he didn't even sit down.

He directly took out a cloth filled with Karim script and waved it in front of Lan Qingyou.

Looking at the text on it, it wasn't anything else.

It was precisely the Emperor's handwritten summons order.

It seemed there truly was some urgent matter.

"That is to say I also have to go?"

Lan Qingyou paused.

Subsequently she asked a question that Horn absolutely couldn't have thought of no matter how he thought about it.

No.

Didn't I exactly come to summon you?

So all the words I said just now, and His Majesty the Emperor's summons order, you didn't understand a single one?

No, she understood.

It was absolutely because she didn't want to go that she asked like this.

Just like Sir Albert.

I absolutely will not fall for your trick.

I was just wondering why let a Knight Commander like me come issue the order.

Now it seems it is indeed very necessary.

"Yes."

Horn nodded vigorously.

His tone and actions carrying a trace of unquestionable resolution.

Although he also didn't know if it was of any use against this Sir Lan Qingyou in front of him who had absolutely no taboos.

But at least he had to bring out his imposing manner as a Knight Commander!

Right! Imposing manner!

"Then let's go."

"Sir Lan Qingyou, this time it was His Majesty personally... Hmm? Agreed?"

Horn, who originally still thought Lan Qingyou would refuse, spoke so quickly and said this sentence.

As a result, halfway through speaking he suddenly realized.

"After all, it is a matter of the Wailing Marsh, speaking of which I can be considered a key party involved, going to see what's going on is still necessary."

"Of course, the most important thing is I also want to know exactly what the situation is on that side."

Lan Qingyou shrugged.

Subsequently she floated out from the window.

Because in terms of straight-line distance, from the window to the main gate was the shortest route.

So Lan Qingyou frequently did this.

Moreover, before she even floated out she had already seen the carriage stopped at the main gate.

Without any accidents, that should be to pick her up.

So she didn't have the slightest pause.

Knowing how to fly, is just this capricious.

And Horn, after seeing the other party fly towards the villa's main gate, also took a large stride and leaped out from the window.

Although he couldn't fly, he still could rely on his physical fitness to be 'capricious' a bit.

It was just that what he didn't notice was that the gardener at the side looked at his departing back as if looking at an enemy.

Because his large feet had trampled and ruined quite a bit of lawn.

Of course.

Even if Lan Qingyou trampled and ruined it, the gardener wouldn't look at her with this kind of gaze.

Because he originally was 'Lan Qingyou's person'.

So even if Horn perceived the other party looking at him with that kind of gaze, he couldn't do anything about it.

Because he was 'the Title Holder's gardener'.
