Chapter 16: Prom
The Count is a lord, the Duke is also a lord, and he is a "big" lord. But Gray has no idea how big it is, and he was even confused for a time that Irene is obviously "smaller" than Earl Casper, so why is she called the "big" lord?
After all, underground, the difference between a "big" lich and a "little" lich is the strength of magic, which Grey can perceive. And humans seem to be able to judge only by their figure.
As for the so-called super lord "king", at the beginning, Gray imagined that he should be a giant...
For most not-too-difference concepts, such as father, daughter, only daughter, etc., Gray has at least figured out all the concepts in the past ten days, but he has no idea about some things that require relative reference.
I don’t understand and dare not ask... This is a portrayal of his daily life. The key is that the black cat who can ask casually often speaks sarcastic words, so that he doesn’t know whether he should believe it.
Humans are really a complex animal. Even if they die, they become ghosts and possess them on cats, it is still so complicated.
It has to be said that when a lich integrates into human society, there are too many things that need to be learned. What's worse is that these things are often what humans "bornly understand", so that they cannot find a corresponding book in the bookstore to study step by step.
Of course, even in the current situation, his progress is very rapid. After all, he is a smart lich.
Are there any idiots in the lich race?
When I accompanied Yilin into the mansion, what I saw was fifty or sixty servants in two rows, dressed in uniform clothes. Grey was shocked.
Turning around, Yilin spread her hands and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, go back and rest first. There will be a dance party here tonight. You all come here."
Just as she was talking, a large group of maids were already busy.
Some took her cloak, some unbuttoned her wrist guards, some took away the long swords around her waist, and some helped her clean up the dust on her body. A pair of new shoes had been placed in front of Yilin. As long as Yilin raised her legs, someone would help her put them on.
Everything was so tacit. If these people hadn't had magic fluctuations, Gray would have suspected that Elin was using magic to manipulate it.
Of course, lichs generally tend to directly manipulate cloaks, guards, long swords, and shoes, rather than manipulating a bunch of skeleton soldiers to accomplish these things.
The knights except Grey saluted in an orderly manner, then turned around and left.
"So... the great lord means that there are many subordinates?" Gray suddenly asked.
"No, it may also mean that the territory is large, the army is strong and the status is high. Anyway, 'big' is a comprehensive concept." The black cat replied in a low voice.
"Are there so many factors? There are no specific standards? For example, how big the territory is, how many troops are? "
'No.'
"That's really hard. Do humans have to make judgments every day without a unified standard? In this way, will they fight because of different opinions?" Gray said in surprise.
Black cat felt very painful for this new problem.
Lichs themselves are magic creatures, everything is rigorous, and all questions are thorough. They may even take out a ruler and measure every corner of the castle. Such a lifestyle will obviously drive humans crazy. At least the black cat that once was human is about to be driven crazy.
In the magnificent hall, there were only servants left, Gray, Elyn and Abby Robles.
With the help of his servant, Elin was tidying up her clothes while Grey stood there.
A maid walked to Grey's side, saluted respectfully, and said, "Sir Baron, please give me your cat? We will make it right."
"Okay." Gray reached out and untied the rope that tied the black cat behind him, then carried the back of his neck and handed it to the maid.
The black cat yawned lazily, looking like he was at slaughter.
"Miss Irene, the Baron's guest room is ready."
"Lead the way." As he said, Elin looked at Gray and smiled and said, "Let's go and take you to see your room."
Grey nodded heavily.
Under the guidance of the maid, Elin led Grey to the second floor along the circular staircase. Behind him was Abby Robles, the maid holding the black cat, and a large group of maids.
From a high point, the living room of Elean's mansion was so exquisite that Grey was shocked.
The red carpet, deer head furnishings, golden candlesticks, exquisitely embroidered curtains, and two-story floor-to-ceiling windows facing the backyard... Each place seems to have been carefully considered and carefully designed.
If it was a Lich castle, it would probably be a pile of rough stone floors and walls, and there might be water leaking on the walls. There wouldn't even be chairs, because Lich doesn't need chairs.
In fact, there is no living room in the lich castle, because they have never visited except for the heroes who come to hunt for treasure. And to deal with human heroes, there is obviously no need for living room.
The walls of famous paintings hanging and the corridors laying carpets, and every few steps there was a sculpture. Gray was stunned. He looked down at the mud on his feet, hesitating whether he should use magic to clear the mud. When he turned around, he found a long string of footprints behind him. For a moment, he felt a little sorry for the carpet.
"It's okay Mr. Gray." Absolutely saw Gray's entanglement, Abby Robles whispered: "Someone will clean it up later."
"Oh... OK."
Grey continued to walk forward in a daze.
Pushing open the room gently, the room that appeared in front of Grey was a large room of fifty square meters. There was a desk, a bookshelves, a fireplace, a bed, exquisite furnishings, exquisite carvings and murals. There were high floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious balcony. There was even a table and two rocking chairs on the balcony. There were also tea sets with exquisite patterns on the table.
As a lich, Gray probably never dreamed that he would live in such a room. He didn't have to worry about being chased by Brutu, nor was he chasing him here.
Everything is prepared by others for themselves, and there are surprises in every corner.
"How is it, do you like it?" Yilin asked.
Turning back, Gray stared at Yilin blankly. After a while, Yilin thought he was not satisfied with his arrangement, so she whispered: "It's great."
"Um?"
"Grey! I like this place so much!" Grey jumped up with joy.
A large number of servants stared at the ecstatic Gray in a daze.
The black cat could no longer watch it, and sighed and muttered in a low voice: "What a shame..."
But Yilin just covered her lips and smiled: "It's good that you like it."
The black cat broke free from the maid's hand and jumped onto the soft bed.
The maid was startled and wanted to catch her, but she found that Gray and Elin didn't seem to object, so she could only retreat to the place and said to Gray and Elin: "Then, let's bring cat food and litter here later?"
Nodding his head to express permission, Yilin turned her face and looked at Grey and said, "Then I'll leave first, someone will deliver lunch later. I have something to deal with today at noon, so you can eat it yourself. Maybe you have to eat dinner yourself."
"Uh... OK."
Elin and her servant both left. As soon as the door closed, Grey jumped up happily again.
"Can you stop jumping?" The black cat was so angry that he was furious.
"Why?" asked Gray.
"Don't you know you're wearing armor? It's noisy, do you know?"
"This is simple!" Grey quickly pulled all the curtains. Suddenly, the whole room was pitch black, leaving only a few rays of light that penetrated into the gap. Then Grey took off his armor with all his hands and jumped...
"Do you have to do this?"
"I just want to jump."
The black cat looked speechless.
What is the unopposed Holy Spirit who can give powerful magic power to such a mentally retarded lich?
Well, it seems that the Lich is not under the control of the Holy Spirit. If you think about it this way, at least the situation will not be so incomprehensible.
After jumping hard like a trampoline for a few rounds, Gray finally calmed down and lay on the bed and laughed rattle. This was the standard lich laughter, but unfortunately, the actions of this lich were really scary.
"Miss Yilin is so nice to me! Oh my God, such a good room! She even asked me if I'm satisfied? Will anyone be dissatisfied?"
"You never thought about why she is so good to you?"
"Why?"
Black Cat pretended to be deep and said: "Everything in this world comes at a price, there is no free lunch. She treats you well, just how terrible the difficulties she is facing now. Do you know how much army the king has? That's much stronger than the Knights who chase you in the town. So, I suggest you... are you listening to me!"
Grey, who had already tore the sheet apart and was covered in cotton, suddenly turned around.
"Did you just hear me?"
"Uh... you seem to be talking about the king, right? I didn't hear it clearly."
"oh."
"This cloth is good, really good. I like this pattern. Does this pattern have some symbolic meaning? It looks like some ancient text. I want to use it to make a robe... Well, maybe I don't have a chance to wear it, after all, I have to wear armor every day. But, what do you think of wearing it outside the armor?" Gray was seriously entangled.
The black cat took a deep breath and exhaled again with trembling. He originally wanted to mention his mouth: "Did you forget they are coming to measure your armor soon?" He hit Gray, but now he no longer wants to speak.
Will it be more interesting if they suddenly arrive? The black cat thought maliciously.
However……
The blacksmith's arrival did shock Grey, but it was not the kind that Black Cat expected.
After "eat" lunch, the blacksmith who helped Grey forge his new armor arrived.
Unexpectedly, he respected Gray extraordinarily and did not raise any objection to Gray's request to only measure the armor shell. To be more precise, he took the initiative to ask Gray how to measure it...
The black cat was stunned.
"It must be Miss Yilin's instructions! Miss Yilin is such a good lord! I like her so much!" Gray cheered.
"Crazy! They are instigating a lich to stay in the human world! This is ignorance! More lichs will arrive soon! At that time, there will be lichs everywhere in the world, and they will still be lichs who worship with the Bible and the "Knight's Guide to Becoming a Creator"! Then they will know that they are wrong!" The black cat said angrily, even a little confused about which side he was on.
Gray selectively ignored his dissatisfaction.
Less than an hour after the blacksmith left, a brand new set of armor that was closest to Grey's existing armor size was delivered. Of course, this was not just forged, but was found after comparison in the warehouse. The new armor will have to wait for a month.
After all, Gray had almost no requirements, and Elin's requirements were not low.
Of course, no matter what, this set of temporary armor is not comparable to Gray's existing armor.
It uses better steel plates, uses more advanced forging techniques, and even the number of sheets is more than four times that of existing armor. This means it is more flexible and comfortable. There are even cotton mats for cushioning on the inner layer, and exquisite carvings on the outer layer.
In the sun, the standing armor radiates a magical luster.
"Tonight's dance, please wear this armor to attend."
"OK."
After the maid left, Gray changed into his armor before turning around and asked the Black Cat: "What is the dance party?"
"It's a party where everyone dances together." The black cat replied numbly.
Gray recalled the charming girl dancing in the tavern in his mind: "Oh, I know this. I can't remember the movements very clearly, but it doesn't matter, I can learn it now!"
