Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 485: Heart of the East: Nasir (2/2)
It was also the residence of the Fischer family, which had withstood warfare for nearly a hundred years, undergoing various repairs and reconstructions.
“This is Fischer Manor,” Moter pointed out.
Elena gazed at the manor’s grounds shaded by lush trees and blooming flowers, children chasing each other on the lawn, and pigeons leisurely seeking food by the fountain occasionally flapping their wings high into the serene sky.
She took a deep breath, etching the feeling of arriving in Nasir deep into her heart, knowing that no matter where the future took her, this city and every moment spent here would become her most treasured memories.
“Mr. Moter.”
Theo, with temples graced by touches of gray, stood in his black tailcoat, upright as he had been for decades, his eyes filled with determination and strength.
As a powerful Extraordinary Exponent of the 5th Rank, his life had been significantly prolonged, with even further hopes for the future.
Now, Theo’s role was as the chief butler of the Fischer family, and under him were two other butlers, a man and a woman, who managed the vast majority of mundane affairs within the family. Only those truly important matters, which the direct members of the Fischer family needed to personally handle, were entrusted to Theo.
Moter held great respect for Theo, holding onto his bicycle, he extended his hand with a smile and introduced:
“Mr. Theo, hello, this is Lady Elena, she is also a mid-ranking member of the Dawn Church. We were together in Bohr City fighting against enemies, and then we found something important… Now we have brought it back home together.”
“Hello, Lord Theo, I have heard of your name,” Elena said, looking at the imposing chief butler, Theo, instinctively feeling a bit intimidated.
“I have heard all about it from Lord Felix,” Theo nodded lightly, calmly looking at Elena, appraising her, and then continued in an indifferent tone, “Welcome, Lady Elena.”
After arriving at the manor, Elena suddenly pulled on Moter’s sleeve and said, “Chris, I would like to meet Lord Chris… He is my favorite idol.”
Moter paused, and after a moment of thought, he spoke, “My great-grandfather, he is probably in the cemetery. Since my great-grandmother Vanessa passed away ten years ago, great-grandfather Chris has often been in the cemetery.”
Elena blinked slightly and replied,
“I see, then Lord Chris probably wouldn’t want to be disturbed during his mourning. In that case, I will not go there.”
Despite not being able to meet her dream idol, Elena felt quite downhearted, but she did not want Lord Chris to feel even slightly uncomfortable.
“Don’t be downhearted, there will be other opportunities in the future… Normally, to meet a member of the Fischer family, one has to submit a request letter or introduction at the city hall, but with me here, that won’t be necessary,” Moter said, frowning slightly, wondering why he felt the urge to show off in front of Elena.
“Hahaha! You’re back, Moter!”
Just then, a rotund old man in blue clothes with a full beard laughed heartily as he approached.
“Who is this?” Elena asked quietly.
She remembered the faces of all members of the Fischer family, but seemed not to recognize this man, mainly because the direct lineage of the Fischer family tended to be quite handsome, and this unkempt, rather portly person did not seem to fit.
“Lord Archibald, he is my great-grandfather’s best friend, and now he is the Royal Guard General of Cyart,” Moter quickly whispered in her ear.
The Royal Guard is a military force newly established in Cyart over the past fifteen years, originally part of the elite in the Cyart Royal Army.
As for the Cyart Royal Knights, composed entirely of Extraordinary Exponents, they are directly under the command of Darren Fischer himself, up until now.
Elena smiled, stepping forward to greet him politely, “Hello, Lord Archibald, my name is Elena Locke, I am from the Locke family, and also a Blood Receiver of the Dawn Church.”
“Lady Elena, welcome to Nasir City. The great Lord of the Lost will protect you,” Archibald greeted with a smile and then looked at Moter, reaching out to hug the young man but avoided.
“Hahaha, Moter, you’re finally back! I’ve been hearing about your ventures and worrying all along. It’s good to have you back, heh heh heh, those heretics are nothing but unworthy scum!”
“Lord Archibald, thank you for your concern. With the protection of the great Lord of the Lost, I won’t come to harm,” Moter said with a laugh.
However, no sooner had Moter finished speaking than they heard the stern voice of the chief butler, Theo, and at the same time, the commanding figure was quickly approaching.
“There’s trouble! Archibald, Moter, come quickly to the family meeting! What’s happened is very serious!”
