Chapter 1385 Blood Moon (Twenty-four)
Woo~
With a loud whistle, the steam train stopped at the platform outside Frye Town.
Ronan and Audrey got off the train together. He helped carry the luggage and walked out of the simple station with the beautiful lady.
At this time, a carriage drove over and stopped in front of the two of them. The driver, dressed in cowboy clothes, jumped down swiftly and saluted Audrey respectfully, saying, "Miss."
Audrey nodded, then smiled at Ronan and said, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No, thanks."
Ronan handed the suitcase in his hand to the driver and replied, "My home is very close."
Audrey looked at him deeply and said, "Then, we'll meet again if we're lucky."
"Goodbye."
Ronan watched the carriage disappear from his sight.
Along the way he had a very pleasant chat with Audrey Norton, who was beautiful and innocent, as well as well-educated, and her speech and manner revealed the qualities of a lady from a noble family.
Such an outstanding young lady could never be cultivated by an ordinary aristocratic family!
And she is also an extraordinary person.
Of course, Ronan didn't have too many thoughts about Audrey Norton. He just felt that she was very suitable to be his guide into the extraordinary world.
Originally, Abel Austin was the most suitable person for this role, but unfortunately the captain of the Night's Watch returned to his hometown.
Ronan withdrew his gaze and walked towards Raymond Manor with his small suitcase.
Frye is a prosperous town with a population of over ten thousand. The surrounding land is very fertile and produces a large amount of food, timber and meat every year to supply Rand City.
Raymond Manor was only two or three miles away from the town, so Ronan did not look for any other means of transportation.
He followed the gravel road, leaving the town behind.
There are crisscrossing fields on both sides of the road. Many farmers are busy in the fields. Egrets fly by from time to time to find food, creating a charming summer field scenery.
In the distance, there are rolling mountains and dense forests.
Soon, a suburban manor with white as the main color appeared in Ronan's sight.
Raymond Manor, the home where the original owner lived for more than ten years!
At this moment, Ronan could feel a slight throbbing coming from the deepest part of his soul.
That was a trace of consciousness left by the original body.
He subconsciously quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the entrance of the manor, a ox cart loaded with cow dung was passing by. The white-haired old driver looked at Ronan carefully with curious eyes.
Ronan smiled and greeted, "Grandpa Jim, long time no see."
The other party was a hired farmhand in the manor, and had worked for the Raymond family for generations.
"Master Ronan?"
Old Jim opened his eyes wide in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big!"
Three years ago, Malcolm Raymond sent the sixteen-year-old Ronan to a school in Rand City, and paid the three-year tuition in one lump sum, severing their father-son relationship.
During this period, Ronan worked and studied in the city and never came back.
So this old farmhand who had worked for the Raymond family all his life hadn't seen him for three years!
Old Jim was really surprised.
Because the Ronan in his memory was thin, introverted and poor at speaking, giving people a very ordinary feeling.
The Ronan we see now is sunny, handsome, tall, and has a strong, mature and steady temperament.
He is totally different from before!
Fortunately, Ronan's facial features had not changed much, so Old Jim still recognized him and said, "Are you here to attend Miss Jenny's engagement ceremony?"
"Yes."
Ronan smiled and said, "I'll go in first, we can talk later."
Although Old Jim is a farmhand on the estate, his status is not very low, because he is not only an expert in growing crops, but also good at feeding livestock. He enjoys a very high reputation among the farmhands.
Not to mention an illegitimate son like Ronan, even Baron Malcolm Raymond looked at old Jim differently.
The old farmhand watched Ronan walk towards the villa with his luggage in hand, and muttered softly, "It's really different. It's so different."
Raymond Manor owns thousands of acres of fertile farmland, as well as large tracts of forests and pastures. It is considered to be of considerable scale and strength in the area surrounding Frye Town.
There were nearly two hundred hired farmhands and servants in the manor, in addition to housekeepers, guards, cooks, gardeners, tailors...
It can be said that the population is thriving.
Ronan's arrival also attracted the attention of many servants working in the manor.
When they recognized Ronan, they were even more surprised than old Jim!
A well-dressed old man stood at the main entrance of the villa, staring at Ronan who came before him with a cautious look.
Ronan bowed slightly: "Hello, Mr. Connery."
This old man is Connery Kidd, the butler of the Raymond family. He is already over 50 years old. Although his hair is gray, his eyes are still full of awe-inspiring sharpness.
In Ronan's memory, the person his predecessor feared most was not his father Malcolm Raymond.
But the old butler in front of him.
Because whenever the predecessor made any mistakes, this housekeeper was responsible for teaching him.
Including but not limited to corporal punishment!
Connery returned the greeting meticulously: "Hello, Mr. Ronan."
As a bastard of the Raymond family, the adult Ronan no longer belonged to this family three years ago, so there was no problem with the butler addressing Ronan.
He straightened his back again and said, "The master and the mistress are waiting for you in the study."
Ronan nodded: "Okay."
He walked forward, stepped onto the stairs, and faced Connery Kidd head-on without any intention of avoiding him.
Ronan used to be very afraid of this old butler.
Now Ronan only has the most basic courtesy.
Connery hesitated for a moment, then silently stepped aside to clear the way.
He has realized that Ronan, who has returned from home three years ago, is no longer the timid boy he used to be!
Ronan walked into the hall of the villa with his head held high.
A little girl who was sitting on the sofa reading a book raised her head and gave him a puzzled look.
Ronan put down the suitcase in his hand and said with a smile: "Aini, long time no see."
This little girl who looked to be in her teens was his sister Alice Raymond - his half sister.
Aini is her nickname.
Among all his brothers and sisters in his previous life, the one with whom he had the best relationship was this little sister.
"what!"
Alice immediately dropped her book and jumped up, throwing herself into Ronan's arms as fast as she could: "Brother Ronan!"
Ronan smiled and picked her up.
In the original body's memory, this innocent and lovely little sister was one of the few warmth in his life before the age of sixteen.
