"Really? You're actually willing to go along with them and cause trouble, to the so-called God Iron Mine?"
Silu looked on in disbelief.
The butler was responsible for all the receptions at the castle, and no butler had ever stepped foot outside the castle. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
They were all originally slaves, but with better talent.
They had been in the castle since birth until death.
To keep the guests from getting bored and to accompany them in conversation, they received a wide and varied curriculum.
The butler glared at Silu and ignored her.
His expression seemed to say, "I am speaking with the noble lord, why are you, a slave, interrupting?"
"Very well, let's depart now!"
Zhang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Now?"
The butler looked at the town outside the window, the lush green forest in the distance, his eyes showing a complex mixture of excitement, nervousness, and fear.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, we shall depart immediately!"
The butler said excitedly.
Soon, the butler changed into light attire, led Zhang Chen and the others back to the ground floor lobby, and walked briskly towards the main entrance.
The decadent nobles in the lobby, seeing the spirited butler, couldn't help but feel a stir in their own moods.
"This butler seems a bit different today!"
"Yeah, I've never seen him walk so fast! Does he have something else to do?"
"He always looks like he's dying whenever he sees guests off. Why does he look so excited today?"
"Could it be... he wants to go out?"
"Impossible, a butler can never leave the castle in his lifetime!"
A few nobles exchanged a few words, then sank back into their dazed state.
"Hey, Butler, arrange for some new maids to serve me. I'm tired of these ones!"
A noble threw a full bottle of wine onto the ground and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry, I am currently serving other guests and cannot serve you at the moment!"
The butler said politely.
"Stop with the nonsense. Going out to see off guests, does that take minutes?"
"Pick some ugly ones. These beautiful ones make me sick!"
The noble kicked a maid to the ground and said menacingly.
"I'm sorry, the time I'll be serving the guests this time might be longer. Perhaps I'll return in a few days, perhaps months, or perhaps... I might never return. A new butler will serve you!" kanδん
There was a light in the butler's eyes as he said this!
"What? You... you're going to step outside the castle gates?!"
"Impossible, butlers are not allowed to leave the gates!"
Several nobles exclaimed in surprise.
"Hurry up, Fatty, we're in a hurry!"
Zhang Chen, along with Keke and Silu, had already walked out the door, shouting back from outside.
At this moment, the butler stood before the open castle gate, head bowed, looking at the bricks on the ground.
With just one more step forward, his life would undergo a complete transformation.
He was doing something that all butlers in the entire Divine Realm had never dared to do, nor had ever thought of doing – leaving the castle for a long journey.
The butler took a deep breath, then forcefully stepped forward.
After that, he strode forward without looking back.
He was too familiar with the world behind him, and there was nothing worth lingering for.
Watching the butler walk away with brisk steps, the nobles in the lobby all stood up in astonishment, as if petrified.
"The butler... actually... left the castle?!"
"So... can we also choose a new way of life?"
"What other way of life is there? We've tried all the ways of life available in the entire Divine Realm."
"But the nobles who came this time seem different. I read from his eyes that he seems to know what he wants."
"Then... shall we follow them and see?"
"Let's go!"
The previously dim and confused eyes of the numerous nobles suddenly lit up.
The butler's outrageous behavior had activated them.
They were also very curious about where Zhang Chen was going, and what he had said to the butler that made him walk out of the castle!
"Quick, they're getting far away!"
A noble shouted loudly.
The other nobles rushed towards the entrance.
However, they hadn't exercised in a long time, and their physiques were corpulent, making it very strenuous for them to run.
As soon as they ran out of the castle gates, they all bent over, gasping for breath.
"Gotta keep going, those guys are walking too fast, we're... we're going to be left behind... *huff, huff*!"
The noble running at the front encouraged those behind him.
"I really don't understand, where are they going? Why can't they use teleportation? Does anyone still walk in this world?!"
The noble who had just reached the castle gate, and was also the fattest, complained breathlessly.
"If we used teleportation, it wouldn't be fun. This is what I want!"
A noble rested for a moment, then disregarding his sweat-soaked forehead, started running again.
Seeing someone start running, the others didn't want to be left behind and quickly followed.
"This is so great! Even though I don't know what we're doing, I haven't exercised like this in so long!"
"Yeah, those maids just helped us save energy. They stayed slim by exercising, which ruined us!"
"Quick, stop talking, I'm running out of breath!"
Although these nobles were tired, not a single one of them gave up or wanted to return to the castle.
Instead, a long-lost smile adorned their faces.
This was the happiness of pursuing a goal.
The servants in the castle gathered at the entrance, all looking at the nobles who hadn't been gone for long with astonishment.
"The nobles are gone, and the butler is gone too. What about us?"
A servant asked in panic.
"What else can we do? This will be our paradise from now on, with endless food and wine!"
"We no longer have to serve anyone. Everyone can eat and drink as they please, even getting drunk every day."
"We can even live in the best rooms!"
"Yes, we are free! We can live a happy life here!"
The servants were stunned for a moment, but quickly regained their composure and began to revel wildly in the castle hotel.
Zhang Chen led the butler to a quiet street without making any noise.
However, the nobles trailing far behind them let out pig-like wails from exhaustion.
Every breath they took seemed to be depleting their life force.
These sounds caused the residents of the town to poke their heads out.
They were also very curious about who it was that would appear on the street.
