Chapter 297 Expanding the Recruitment of Maids

After visiting the Hall of Famous Swords, the group continued upwards along the spiral staircase, still feeling quite excited.

The fifth floor is a viewing platform.

It's called a floor, but it's actually a whole floor of outward-protruding circular corridor, suspended on three sides with no obstructions.

The wind blew from all directions, making people's clothes flutter.

Standing on top and looking down, you can see the entire 500-acre Chinese-style garden, with rockeries layered with greenery, a winding stone bridge spanning the Cloud Pond, and a small pavilion standing gracefully in the middle of the water.

Looking up, there is an endless sky, with white clouds drifting by, and large wisps of cloud seeming as if you could reach out and touch them.

Besides some storage rooms, there is also a sand table room on the sixth floor.

The moment they pushed the door open, everyone froze.

In the center of the room was a huge sand table, about ten meters long and eight meters wide, which almost filled the entire room.

But what's most astonishing isn't the size of the sand table, but that it's alive!

The river flows through the snow, the canopy of the black pine forest sways gently, and tiny, ant-like figures can be faintly seen moving about in Qifeng City.

Outside the city, some people were carrying stones, and others were pushing wheelbarrows; every detail was so clear that it could be seen with the naked eye.

Above the sand table, a phantom star map floats, with thousands of stars slowly rotating in the dark void, dazzling and radiant.

The starlight shone on everyone's face, flickering and changing.

Karl was the first to rush to the sand table; his eyes widened in disbelief: "It's a map of Chiffon Territory!?"

"This is too outrageous!" Im murmured.

Anthony unconsciously reached out to touch the snow-capped mountain, but as soon as his fingers touched the edge, he was bounced back by an invisible force field.

"You can only look, not touch," Richard laughed. "This is a real-time dynamic map, not a toy."

He reached out and gently traced a line on the sand table, instantly widening the view to reveal the entire Chiffon Wasteland.

Wendy looked up at the swirling, illusory star map and suddenly gasped: "This star map is also changing in real time?"

Richard glanced at the detailed architectural description in his mind before nodding in confirmation.

"Yes, the stars in the sky are in the same position as the current time."

Wendy remained silent for a long time, then sighed sadly and said, "This definitely can't be done by magic, can it?"

Richard didn't reply, he just smiled and said, "Whether it is or not, it's right in front of you."

The seventh and eighth floors are all guest rooms.

A long corridor with hundreds of individual small rooms on both sides, each with its own bathroom and a small balcony with a view.

The room wasn't very big, but it was decorated exquisitely and warmly.

A small lamp stand sits on the bedside table, and the curtains are made of luxurious brocade fabric. Opening the window reveals a sea of ​​clouds outside.

Richard pushed open the door to a room, walked in and looked around, then nodded in satisfaction.

"This place will be for the maids." He turned to Lina and smiled, "We'll hire another batch of regular maids later to fill this place up."

Lina paused for a moment, then asked, "Recruit again? How many?"

"Let's recruit thirty for now, and we can add more if that's not enough," Richard replied.

Now, besides the seven of them, there are eight snow rabbit maids and twelve human maids on the ordinary maid side.

Too little!

With just twenty people, they could be exhausted from doing nothing but mopping the floor and wiping the tables all morning.

It'll be more lively with more people. We'll recruit a lot of them and have some maid outfits made for them.

For example, cheongsams, princess dresses, pencil skirts, and traditional maid outfits, which are then changed according to the date.

hehe...

Besides being hardworking and capable, a maid also needs to be pleasing to the eye, right?

Faced with the lord's demand to recruit more maids, the Nine Guards of Chiffon exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the message, "We're all men, those who know, know."

The taste.

The other maids all smirked and smiled to themselves.

Nicole leaned close to Celia's ear and whispered something. Celia gently pinched her arm, and they both laughed.

Richard ignored their little tricks.

The lord's manor is recruiting more maids; countless girls would kill to get a job there.

Especially living in this Sword Pavilion, with its elegant environment and ethereal atmosphere, can even extend one's lifespan by several years!

The ninth floor is the master suite.

Since this was clearly a lord's private space, Chiffon's Nine Guards didn't come along; Richard led the maids on a tour instead.

After opening the heavy wooden door, you enter the shoe and hat room first, then walk around a huge screen, and behind it is the tea room.

The floor was covered with a snow-white cashmere carpet, and a large, soft couch was placed by the window.

Several ink paintings hang on the wall, all depicting landscapes, including a lone fisherman in a boat, a distant view of snow-capped mountains, and a scene deep in a bamboo forest.

Passing through the tea room leads to the actual master bedroom.

Great!

It's not referring to the space, but the huge bed right in the center, so big that you could roll around on it ten times without touching the ground!

The eyes of all seven maids were shining.

Nicole sidled up to the bedside, touched the bedding, and then winked at her friends, "Hehe! Now we don't have to fight for seats!"

Lina chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed. She tested the firmness and said with a smile, "This bed is very sturdy; there's no need to worry about any strange noises."

The custom-made bed in the lord's manor is now creaking constantly, and she even had one custom-made before.

Susan rubbed her toes against the carpet, laughing happily, "This carpet is so thick, it's quite comfortable to sit on it and play."

When Wendy heard the maids' lewd words, her fair neck turned bright red!

Listen to this!

What kind of talk is this?!

Actually, she didn't want to come up because of her status, but she couldn't resist Richard's boastful attitude, so she came up out of curiosity.

It would have been better if we hadn't come at all!

Richard was overjoyed to see her blushing face and turned to push open a side door.

Inside was a huge bath, at least twenty square meters in size, with warm-colored jade lining the walls and pebbles lining the bottom.

Hot water gushed from the mouth of a bronze beast head, steam billowing and a faint fragrance filling the air.

Yo!

There's a hot spring!

Not finished yet.

On the other side of the master bedroom, there is a floor-to-ceiling window leading to a huge open-air terrace that occupies half the floor.

In the center of the platform is a swimming pool of about 200 square meters, with crystal clear water that shimmers in the sunlight.

Next to the pool is a large open space, enough to set up several long tables.

Great place!

With such a large platform, we can set up barbecue grills, parasols, lounge chairs, and other amenities nearby for a party!

Standing by the pool, gazing at the churning sea of ​​clouds in the distance, Xueyue couldn't help but exclaim, "Swimming here would feel like flying through the clouds, wouldn't it?"

The other maids gazed at the large swimming pool, their faces filled with anticipation.

My husband has been quite busy lately and hasn't been able to play in the water with them for a long time.

Wendy stood at the back of the crowd, watching the maids frolic by the pool, a faint smile on her lips.

The wind on the platform ruffled her hair, which she tucked behind her ear, her gaze fixed on the distant snow-capped mountains.

Richard walked to her side, leaned on the railing, gazed into the distance, and suddenly asked, "Do you like it here?"

Wendy paused for a moment, not responding directly, but said softly, "This place feels so unreal, like a dream."

Richard smiled.

"You are the chief minister, and you will need to come up to me frequently to report on your work. It's inconvenient for you to live down here, so please move up here."

Wendy bit her lip, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"No need, I'm fine living downstairs. I can come up to you to report if anything comes up."

"Just stay here." Richard's tone left no room for refusal, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"What's wrong? Afraid I'll eat you?"

Wendy's face turned even redder!

She looked down at her toes, her voice barely audible, "No, that's not what I meant..."

Richard leaned close to her head, his deep, magnetic voice filling her ear: "But that's exactly what I meant, isn't it?"

Wendy shuddered.

She looked up and met Richard's smiling eyes, and her heart suddenly raced!

She bit her lower lip, stomped her foot, and turned to run away!

Richard watched her figure disappear at the top of the stairs and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As the master of the Sword Pavilion, he has absolute authority over the entire building and can open any door with a single thought.

In the evening...

You can go talk to her about work!
