Martini Family Mansion

After the dinner.

At Cas's enthusiastic invitation, he led Han Dong on a tour of the various areas of this multi-story luxury mansion.

Simply put

The House of Cas is divided into two areas: east and west.

The building appears to be a single, unified structure, but its interior is forcibly divided by walls up to three meters thick.

The East Building is the true living, dining, and activity area for the House of Martini... The whole family's daily life and meals take place in the East Building.

The servants lived separately in ordinary houses in the back garden.

What about the West Tower?

The entire west building was designated as a "Creation Area" by Viscount Alex.

Cas's father, Viscount Alex, was actually a writer and one of the core members of the Holy City Writers Association.

He was granted a noble title for his great contributions to the construction of the Holy City and the future of humanity.

The entire west building has three floors.

The first floor houses a collection of outstanding works, as well as a library, a collection of rare items, and more.

The second floor is an activity room with fencing facilities, an indoor swimming pool, a steam sauna, and massage rooms. Only three trustworthy old servants serve on this floor.

When Alex feels tired or unwell, he comes to the second floor to relax and relieve creative pressure.

The third floor is the Creation Room artwork.

Unlike the first and second floors, this floor is off-limits to everyone, not even family members... Alex's Creation Room is kept strictly confidential, which is a fundamental principle for a writer.

In addition, Han Dong also learned that...

For some reason, Cas's father left his original family after being granted a title.

He lives alone in this mansion with his wife. They are completely separated from their parents and brothers, only seeing each other occasionally.

This seems to be done to reduce some of the burdens of 'life' and avoid some family disputes and trivial matters, so that one can concentrate on 'creation'.

It took nearly half an hour to explore all the areas of the East Building.

While Han Dong was marveling at how wonderful it was to be rich, he was also secretly observing the basic features of the building.

Everything is normal.

All personnel in the House of Cas, the air quality in all areas of the building, and the condition of every corner are normal.

In reality, only Han Dong accompanied Cas on the tour of the mansion.

Sophia and her friends have been here at least three times.

After the meal, the housekeeper arranged rooms for them, and they went back to their rooms to rest.

As for the short Koslin, he had to go back to work overtime tonight at his advisor's request, so he didn't stay overnight.

Cas and Han Dong walked together in the corridor, their arms around each other, showing a very good relationship... Of course, it was only Cas who was being friendly.

"Speaking of which, Brother Allen! Tonight is a golden opportunity for you... The fact that Sir Sylest is willing to stay here speaks volumes about her intentions, doesn't it?"

"Emmm... Don't overthink it! Actually, Knight Sylest chose to stay because she smelled something 'strange'."

"Cas, have you had any problems at home lately?"

It's obviously impolite to talk about someone else's family directly... but since the two had a very close relationship, Han Dong just said it out loud.

"Sir Sylest smelled a 'strange odor'?"

"Hmm... it's very slight, she's not quite sure either. I followed you around the east building for a long time, but I didn't sense anything unusual."

"There are no major problems at home... but we discovered the minor issues today."

Cas explained the recent unusual situation of ' Viscount Alex ' to Han Dong.

Han Dong looked puzzled. "Having the same dream? Sleepwalking to the Backyard to dig a hole?"

"Hmm... I only know about these unusual situations. Today, my father even suggested going to the [Holy See Headquarters] and personally receiving Holy Light Baptism from a high-ranking priest. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any more problems."

Han Dong's focus differed from Cas's:

"You said before that the servants all lived in the Backyard, right?"

Cas nodded. "Hmm... After they finish work at 8 p. m., they all go back to the Backyard to rest."

They were not allowed to enter the main house again until 6 a. m. the following morning.

"So, they weren't in the main house at night?"

"Unless he is asked to serve, he generally will not be in the main house... This is my father's request. After nightfall, he prefers to be with his family, as that makes him feel safe."

Han Dong continued, "That's right! The housekeeper said your father sleepwalks and digs in the back garden area... That's a very narrow interpretation of the information."

After all, the butler only lived in the back garden and didn't know the situation in the main house.

Before your father sleepwalked, he may have done some other things in the main house.

Upon hearing Han Dong's words, Cas suddenly realized what was happening.

"This..."

"Let's keep an eye on your father's condition tonight. If his sleepwalking symptoms disappear after receiving the Holy Baptism, then everything will be fine."

If he sleepwalks again, we will secretly follow him to see what he is doing.

"It just so happens that Sir Sylest is here too. Even if trouble arises, she can resolve it quickly... and try her best not to harm your father."

"Thank you very much, Brother Allen."

"It's nothing... Let's rest for a while, so we'll be more energetic later tonight."

"OK!"

Han Dong was assigned to stay in the guest room area on the second floor of the East Building.

Sylest and Sophia also lived on this floor.

After the dinner, Cas's sisters went home, and Cas, who hadn't been home for a long time, also went to the guest room area on the second floor.

As for the Third Floor of the east building—the master bedroom area—only Cas's parents lived there.

"It's almost nine o'clock... I wonder what Vino wants from me."

Just as Han Dong had chosen the right time for the 'date' and was about to leave,

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Upon Door Opening, one sees a blonde beauty leaning against the entrance; her evening attire has been changed.

Standing at the door was Sylest dressed in light, casual clothes, a belted waist, a white dress, and long boots... Han Dong felt that this image suited her better.

"Sister Wino? Didn't you tell me to come find you?"

"Sophia insisted on sleeping with me... so I had to come here myself. Don't tell anyone about my visit tonight, understand?!"

"I... I understand."

As soon as Sylest entered the room, she took the only armchair and scrutinized Han Dong from head to toe.

What's it like to bring 'pollution ability' into the Destiny Space?

"Well... hehe, it works quite well." Han Dong gave an awkward laugh.

"Anyway, thank you for keeping Sophia safe... Cas was a bit too reckless, choosing a four-star chain mission directly."

It's a miracle that your whole team survived.

"Haha, really?"

"What else can you do besides giggle like an idiot... Come here!"

Sylest shouted loudly, forcing Han Dong to walk over slowly.

Who knows?

Sylest took out a special green card from her pocket, with a special pattern printed on it: 'golden ears of wheat intertwined above a crown'.

"This is a thank-you gift from Sophia's father."

"This is?"

"Personal Noble ID Card. With this card, you are a member of the ordinary noble class, but your family members do not enjoy noble privileges... This is not something you can get easily. Keep it safe, it will make it easier for you to move around freely in the Holy City."

Just as Han Dong received the card...

Knock knock knock! There was a knock on the door.
