As soon as Ye Li entered the courtyard, the housekeeper Laurent called everyone in the manor over and formed three lines in front of Ye Li.
Laurent said to Ye Li: "Master, you see, these are the servants and guards in the manor, including me, there are fifty people in total.
The twenty people in the first row here are guards, responsible for protecting the safety of the manor.
They are part of the Royal Palace Guards and are personally selected and controlled by His Majesty the King.
The ten people in the second row are responsible for your housekeeping, including cleaning your room, doing your laundry and waiting for you to shower and change clothes.
The nineteen people in the third row are responsible for external things, including yard maintenance, house repairs, buying and selling necessities, and cooking. " After finishing speaking, Laurent pointed to a tall and strong man in the first row and said: "Sir, this is Gilbert, he is the captain of the escort team."
Gilbert hurriedly walked out of the team, saluted Ye Li and said respectfully: "Gilbert sends his regards to Master Ye."
Ye Li knew that although these people were protecting him in name, they were actually here to monitor Ye Li.
However, they would not always follow Ye Li.
Instead, they would act as Edwin Lucas' spies in Ye Li's yard and be available at any time.
Report on Ye Li's situation.
Nodding to Gilbert, Ye Li said: "From now on, it will be your responsibility to guard the manor."
Although Ye Li knew the purpose of these people coming here, he did not intend to break up with Edwin Lucas after all, so he could only pretend not to know the purpose of the other person here and communicate with him politely.
Later, Laurent pointed to a fat woman in her fifties in the second row and said: "This is Kate.
She is the chief of internal affairs and is responsible for arranging internal affairs.
If you have any needs in life, you can directly tell me She, she will arrange it for you properly.”
When Kate heard Laurent talking about her, she quickly took a step out of the queue and said, "Kate wishes you well."
Ye Li didn't have any airs.
When he heard the other party's greetings, he naturally said hello quickly.
Then, Laurent pointed to a fat, bald man in his fifties in the third row and said, "Look, sir, this is Jim.
He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He is responsible for all foreign affairs work."
When it comes to coordination and arrangements, if you have any requirements for the manor, you can tell him directly and he will arrange everything for you.”
Naturally, Jim hurried out of the queue and said hello to Ye Li, who also responded.
After that, Laurent dispersed everyone and asked them to continue working, while he led Ye Li around the manor.
The entire manor, in addition to the living and reception rooms, also has gardens and courtyards, and the kitchen is adjacent to the servants' living area.
In addition, there was actually a casting room in the manor, which really surprised Ye Li.
"Laurent, why is there a casting room here?"
Ye Li looked at the casting room and it didn't look like it was newly built, so he asked curiously.
Laurent said: "Sir, this was from the beginning of the construction of this manor.
Because the previous owner here was a black-eyed caster from the Wang family, but this was all a hundred years ago.
After his death, this place was completely empty until now, when you took it over. " Hearing Laurent's words, Ye Li couldn't help but look surprised.
He didn't expect that this would be the place where another caster had lived, and the other person was a member of the Black Eyes tribe.
Ye Li couldn't help but walked into the casting room in front of him and found that the furnace inside had been ignited and there were a lot of materials lying around.
"Sir, when we cleared this place, the palace sent people to light the fire and sent these casting materials."
Laurent quickly explained.
Ye Li was overjoyed when he heard this.
As a caster, even though he didn't cast tools very often, having a casting room in his residence would be more or less convenient and pleasant for him.
At least he would have a place to forge something when he got the urge to do it.
After following Laurent to visit the manor, Ye Li called Xiao Jin in and immediately asked the servants in charge of external affairs to build a very comfortable shed next to Ye Li's own residence for Xiao Jin to live in.
After having servants to take care of Xiao Jin, Ye Li felt relieved.
After settling in the house that night, Teng Ri's voice sounded again, saying: "Ye Li, the environment here is not bad, but the guards around you who are responsible for monitoring you are annoying."
Ye Li nodded and said: "There is no way, this is already the minimum surveillance, after all, I haven't gained much trust yet.
Now I can only stay here with peace of mind for the time being.
After gaining the king's trust, they will definitely relax their surveillance on me, and I will definitely have a chance to escape by then. " Tunri said: "Ye Li, you can be a little more high-profile, make your reputation better, communicate with various powerful people here, and show that you want to settle here with peace of mind.

I guess the king and the Duke of Wellington will naturally feel relieved after seeing you. " Hearing Tunri's suggestion, Ye Li couldn't help but slap his forehead and said: "Oh, I am also causing trouble for myself.
I really hate dealing with those unrelated people."
Tunri said: "There is nothing we can do about it.
Now you just show it to the king to dispel their wariness."
Ye Li nodded and said: "I understand, I will try it and see.
But the top priority now is to complete the research on the Soul Gathering Cannon.
After thorough research, I can also bring this technology back. " After Ye Li chatted with Tunri for a while in his room, he began to practice.
He basically didn't sleep now and spent every night relying on practice.
Early the next morning, Ye Li went to the place where the Wang family's foundry master cast the vessels.
Pierre and the other three were already waiting here.
"Good morning, Master" After seeing Ye Li, the three Pierres quickly bowed and said.
Although their attitude made Ye Li very uncomfortable, Ye Li still played his role as well as possible so that Edwin Lucas could relax his vigilance against him.
"You don't have to be so polite, just be more natural.
I also said yesterday that I am only a master in name only.
We can just communicate and learn from each other on weekdays."
Kai Diwen said: "No, Master, since we worship you as our master, we will definitely treat you as our master, otherwise what's the point of becoming our master."
Seeing the firm eyes of the three of them, Ye Li nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, then I really can only be your master shamelessly.
Let's find a secret room to study the drawings first.
This is not the place for talking and discussing. " Ye Li looked around.
After all, the Spirit Gathering Cannon was a secret.
A place with such talkative people was certainly not suitable for research and discussion.
