What's Wrong With Being A Salted Fish?

Hello, Give Me Some Light 13

In any case, Lin Zhuo thought that he had to go to Basil to check on the dragon.

But Lin Zhuo was worried about Michelle. 

Although Xun was with her, the dirt could get in everywhere, and it was impossible for them to be on edge all the time. 

Besides, Michelle had to go to the fields to teach. She had promised others, and she couldn't go back on her word. 

He couldn't leave Michelle and Luo Fu alone, which would only make him more worried. 

However, he didn't know how to split himself, and he couldn't run both ways, so he was in a headache.

Just when they had not yet figured out a way to have the best of both worlds on the third day, unexpectedly, the Duke of Histon sent someone to invite them to his mansion.

Although Lin Zhuo and his companions were puzzled, they still agreed. However, considering that he had a private deal with Basil, they all remained vigilant.

Histon's residence was not very luxurious. As a nobleman, his residence was not too small, but it was definitely not big either. It could not be compared with other nobles in Langyue. 

After all, other people had manors, while Histon had only a beautiful garden with a European-style house in the garden. His house looked a bit old, with a simple and quaint feel. The moss on the bricks, the cracks on the pillars, and the creaking sound of the door all told of this.

It seems that the money he earned from the transaction with Basil was not empty talk and was used for the people.

There are few decorations in the house, and the overall tone of the decoration is dark. The whole room is dim under the light, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Zhuo took a quick look around, but didn't find anything that looked valuable. It seemed that the Duke of Histon didn't even have many decorative porcelains. 

Lin Zhuo also found that the golden things used to support the scene seemed to be made of brass, and the paint on the outside had fallen off a little.

What is the purpose of looking for such a person?

Led by the butler, they entered the reception room of Histon.

The reception room was not big, with only three sofas placed together in a semi-enclosed manner, surrounding a coffee table that looked like it was made of crystal but was actually made of glass. The Duke of Histon was sitting on one of the sofas.

He looked like he had just entered middle age, with slightly curly hair, the same brown color as Michelle, and no obvious wrinkles on his face, but the deep wrinkles on his neck suggested that he was no longer young. 

He wore a white lace shirt, a bow tie, and a black coat, and he looked generous and decent. His face looked very friendly, not to mention that he was looking at them with a smile on his face.

When he saw Lin Zhuo and the others come in, especially when he saw Michelle come in, Duke Histon stood up and gave Michelle a very standard aristocratic salute.

"Good afternoon, Princess Michelle."

Michelle was a little surprised. After all, it was the first time that a noble saluted her. She did not lose her manners and returned the salute to Histon to show her politeness.

Histon extended his hand and asked them to sit down, then he sat down himself and said very seriously: "I know you are in a hurry, so I also made it clear that I want to cooperate with you."

This surprised Lin Zhuo. He had thought that even if Histon was Basil's undercover agent, he would not be surprised if he just waited for them to enter and arrested them. But this man wanted to discuss cooperation, which was a bit surprising.
