"Go and prepare the tableware. Ask the chef to add a snowy steak." Nicholas ordered the maid as he returned to the dining room.
"Yes." The maid quickly ran to the kitchen.
Dudian stopped the maid: "Cook a few more portions. You will have a good appetite in the evening."
"Yes." The maid hurriedly answered, turned around, and left quickly.
"I didn't expect you to come back tonight." Nicholas pulled out a chair and sat down: "If I knew it would be like this, I would have asked the chef to prepare it."
Dudian smiled: "How is it? Are you used to living here?"
Nicholas saw Dudian's smile and suddenly remembered the note he had found in the morning. His heart secretly jumped, but on the surface he looked as usual: "At least it is much more comfortable than the prison. The scenery of the river outside is also good."
Dudian smiled. After a moment, the maid served the dinner and he began to eat. He chatted with several people while eating. After the dinner was over, he got up and went back to his room.
After closing the door, Dean glanced at his wardrobe and went to the desk next to him. He took out a match and lit the oil lamp. He took out a small black carving knife and a piece of wood from the drawer. He grabbed the knife with his unconscious left hand and gently scratched the wood carving. The marks were sometimes deep and sometimes shallow. His control of strength was still extremely rusty.
Dudian quietly practiced the control of his left hand. At the same time he thought about other things.
…
…
The night passed by quickly.
The next day.
Dudian woke up on time and found that Nicholas got up earlier than him. He also woke up the maids. Nicholas looked up and smiled as he saw Dudian coming down the stairs: "Master, good morning. The hot water has been prepared for you." He looked like a real butler. His attitude was respectful and there was nothing wrong with him.
Dudian used the hot water and a towel from the maid to wash his face and rinse his mouth. He came to the dining room and sat down: "Good spirit today."
Nicholas respectfully said: "Master is overpraising me."
Dudian looked at his shoulder: "How is the wound healing?"
Nicholas smiled: "I'm old. The speed of healing isn't as fast as you young people."
"Sometimes, when a wound heals too quickly, it heals and forgets the pain." Dudian smiled: "If the resume isn't wrong then you have relied on your wealth to buy God's blessing. Your physique has been upgraded to intermediate hunter level."
Nicotine's eyes flashed: "Master, I'm just a primary hunter. There is still a long way to go before I become an intermediate hunter."
Dudian smiled: "A primary hunter couldn't break free from the encirclement of two teams of knights of the magistrate and killed four official knights of the magistrate."
Nicotine smiled and said: "Misinformation. It's just a rumor. It's just a rumor. I don't have the ability to kill a knight."
"Maybe." Dean faintly smiled.
At this moment, the sound of hooves could be heard from outside. Nicotine said, "It should be the postman delivering the newspaper. I'll go take a look." He turned and left the hall. After a moment, he came back with two newspapers in his hand. He handed them to Dean: "Master, your newspaper."
Dudian nodded and took the newspapers.
As he flipped through the newspaper, Nicotine slowly retreated. Soon, a maid brought in breakfast, milk, fried eggs, and meat rolls.
Dean ate and read the newspaper. His military crossbow occupied a large page in the financial newspaper. Recently, the war at the border was tight. There were many news reports about the border, especially about the dynamics of various military goods and the transfer of military personnel. All the news agencies were paying attention to them from time to time.
"Does the Mellon consortium want to wait for the limelight to pass?" Dudian looked at the newspaper of the Mellon consortium. It mentioned that the direction of the Mellon consortium revolved around the mining industry and the medical industry. These were the two strongest weapons in the hands of the Mellon consortium. The competitor of the mining industry was the Scott consortium. The Scott consortium was the largest operator of the mining industry. They still occupied the majority of the channels and market share. But in the medical industry, the Mellon consortium was in an invincible state.
The medical industry of the Mellon consortium occupied more than 70% of the market in the three districts of the outer wall. Six of the top ten hospitals belonged to the Mellon consortium. One of the remaining four was a partnership between the Mellon consortium and the Green consortium. But it was only a matter of time before the Mellon consortium would be completely annexed.
"The medical industry is the biggest weapon of the Mellon consortium. It's the main reason for its rapid rise." Dudian's eyes lit up, "If we can give a heavy blow to the medical industry then the Mellon consortium will be hit hard."
He quietly read the newspaper as he pondered.
As time passed, Sergei, Scar, Jin and others got up and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Master, I won't call you master when we are on the training ground." Sergei said as he chewed the meat.
Dudian put down the newspaper and indifferently said: "Don't eat greasy food in the morning."
"I like it." Sergei snorted.
After breakfast, Dudian and Sergei went to the back of the castle. There was a circle of stones in the training ground. It was a place for knights and guards to train. It was about seven or eight thousand square meters. There were different training tools.
"Your physical strength is barely comparable to a senior hunter. The magic marks haven't transformed yet. Let's skip the simple introductory courses. Let's go straight to the hard part." Sergei grinned: "I heard that you are a hunter. Hunters test eyesight, arm strength, and endurance. Let's exercise your arm strength this morning. Be careful not to break your arm."
Dudian indifferently smiled. His left hand should have recovered by now as the stitches should have healed.
Sergei smiled as he saw that Dudian didn't reply: "Do you know about frogs? The first lesson is to stand upside down in frog posture. Bend your elbows at ninety degrees and keep your legs close to each other. It will also exercise your balance."
Dudian smiled: "You should know that I have a way to go to the hunter school to know their training courses. If you teach something different then you know the consequences."
Sergei's smile stiffened: "Then go and inquire about it." In his heart, he was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, he was cautious, and the first frog stand he chose was in the Hunter School.
Dudian looked at him and did as he was told.
Sergei sneered: "The best training time for an ordinary person who hasn't improved their physique is one hour and twenty minutes. Although it's your first exercise, you should at least do it for three or four hours."
Dudian bent his elbows and said: "You can go and expand the training ground first."
Sergei shrugged: "Don't be lazy. I'll keep an eye on you." Then he turned and left.
A carriage arrived outside the castle while Dudian was training. There was a flag of the Green consortium on it. An elegant middle-aged man got off the carriage. He was friendly to the maid at the door. The maid immediately went into the room to inform Nicholas.
Nicholas was looking at the training ground from the window upstairs. He was startled when he heard the maid's report. He immediately went downstairs to greet the middle-aged man.
"Hello." Nicholas smiled politely: "I am Mr. Dean's butler, and you are?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "I'm representing the Green consortium. I'm here to visit architect Dean. Is he inside?"
"Architect?" Nicholas was startled: "It's not convenient for him at the moment. If there's nothing important I can pass the message."
The middle-aged man smiled: "It's an important matter. It's better to talk to him face to face. I can wait for him."
Seeing him say this, Nicholas could only say, "Alright, please." He led the middle-aged man into the living room and ordered the maid to serve him tea.
"I didn't expect architect Dean to be so thrifty." After entering the hall, the refined middle-aged man glanced around and said with a smile, "If you don't have enough money, please tell our Green Consortium."
Nicholas smiled: "Young master has always been thrifty. How would I dare to trouble the Green consortium for a little money?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "What trouble? As long as architect Dean is willing to sell the new invention to the Green consortium we'll give him a castle. It's a small matter."
Nicholas was shocked. He used to mix with the aristocrats. He knew the identity of an architect. He didn't expect that Dean was not only an architect but also an extraordinary one. Even the Green consortium had to send someone to curry favor with him.
He thought about the castle from top to bottom but didn't see any item: "Our young master hasn't finished his new invention. It's not too late to talk about it after he finishes."
The middle-aged man looked at him strangely. He didn't expect Dean to be so lenient towards his subordinates. He even dared to meddle in the master's affairs. But he thought that Dean was an architect and was wholeheartedly focused on the invention. He was relieved. But his attitude towards Nicholas was a bit cold. He thought that if his butler was replaced by Nicholas then he would have already scolded him. However, Green consortium is willing to buy it in advance. The price will definitely satisfy architect Dean. "Green consortium smiled:" Even if it isn't done well, Green consortium is willing to buy it in advance. The price will definitely satisfy architect Dean. "
Nicholas had been a butler for many years so his mind was sharp. He knew that the other party was disgusted when he saw the faint smile on the other's face. He didn't ask any more questions. But he was surprised in his heart. Did he think that the new invention wouldn't be bad? Where did this confidence come from? Or could it be that Dean had already finished the invention but put it in the Temple and the Green consortium got the news?
