Train to Another World

Chapter 396 Banquet

Not knowing what the city lord was up to, Li Zhuoguang looked at Ariana. After all, she was a native here and she knew the situation better.

Ariana nodded when she saw Li Zhuoguang looking at her: "We will visit the city lord's mansion later."

Old Pierre was very satisfied with the result, so he said to the four servants: "Send the guests to the hotel."

After that, he lifted the lapels of his gorgeous clothes to cover his head and face, turned around, and left quickly. Li Zhuoguang looked at all this with amusement. It seems that shading the guests is also a kind of etiquette here.

Ariana led the way in front, and everyone headed towards the hotel in the city. The group of people with fair skin, plus the city lord's sunshade team, made the civilians even more afraid. Wherever they passed, the people hid to both sides.

William frowned, walked out of the canopy quickly, and walked side by side with Ariana, exposing himself to the sun. The four servants watched the fairest white-skinned nobleman leave the shadow and wanted to catch up quickly, but the other nobles walked slowly.

The canopy is limited in size. If it covers the nobleman in front, it will inevitably expose the nobles behind to the sun. They were immediately in a dilemma.

Ariana also knew that William hated the privileged class the most, so she said to the four servants: "I know the way. The hotel is not far from here. You can go back to your master."

The servants were as if they had been pardoned. After bowing to Ariana, they trotted away holding the canopy. Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at the so-called hotel. From the outside, the hotel looks no different from other buildings. They are all small earth-yellow buildings with three floors.

After entering the hotel, Ariana asked for the largest room, but she didn't expect that the largest room was on the third floor of the hotel. The whole floor is full of rooms.

After arriving at the third floor, Ariana closed the door of the stairwell, sat casually on the carpet, and began to eat an apple. Yes, carpet, there is no table or chair in this room, the whole floor is covered with carpet.

And this carpet is brown, without patterns, and looks very strange, like the skin of a giant creature that was hunted and peeled off.

Others followed suit and sat on the carpet. Ariana ate the apple in a few seconds, still the same, not even the core was left, and then she breathed a sigh of relief: "I wanted to eat it just now, but I couldn't hold it back."

Others were not surprised to see her like this. Usually when everyone was together, Ariana ate fruit like smoking, and she would have one every few minutes. Just now, I guess she didn't eat it outside because she didn't want to show off her wealth.

After eating the apple, Aliana said to everyone: "Although the Steven family in Haichao City is very hypocritical, it is considered to have a high moral level in the nearby cities. So when I am active in this area, I always use this place as a place to stay and a supply point.

Now it seems that Steven wants to make friends with you. If we have a good relationship with him, we will have good convenience in this city, at least in terms of intelligence."

Li Zhuoguang nodded. In such a place with scarce supplies, only the intelligence network is worth a little money for them.

Aliana continued: "When the locals treat guests, they usually only provide part of the food, and the other food needs to be brought by the guests themselves."

"Ah?"

Aliana shrugged: "There is no way. Even if it is a noble, it will take a long time to hold a banquet. After all, there is really not much food here.

So when Old Pierre made the invitation just now, I said I would arrive later instead of following him directly. This is also a kind of etiquette. This time is used to prepare food for the guests."

Xiong Facai scratched his chin: "Then is there anything particular about the prepared food?"

Aili Yana chuckled: "We want to attract his attention, so this time, let's just take what we usually eat."

"Aren't you afraid of being convicted of possessing a treasure?"

"I am the one who is afraid of being convicted of possessing a treasure. After all, I am just a ranger and should not have so many good things. You are different. You are the nobles of each city. I am only attending the banquet as your bodyguard this time."

Not long after, the innkeeper saw Ms. Storm and those nobles coming downstairs. They each held a strange white package in their hands. After leaving the inn, they walked towards the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion is called a mansion, but it is different from the small castle that Li Zhuoguang expected. It is a large house with a garden. Seeing Aliana approaching with people, the servants guarding the door quickly opened the iron fence and let Li Zhuoguang and others enter the garden.

After passing through the garden, Li Zhuoguang and others went straight into the house. The front and back doors of the house were wide open so that the wind could pass through the hall and take away some of the heat.

The maid took everyone to the reception room, where Old Pierre had been waiting. He had taken off his thick clothes and put on a cotton shirt. Li Zhuoguang could clearly see that there were many traces of mending on the shirt.

Old Pierre invited everyone to sit down at the table.

After everyone sat down, he clapped his hands, and a maid came out with silver plates. These silver tableware were probably quite old and had begun to oxidize and turn black.

Putting the plates in the middle of the table, the maids opened the lids together. The five plates contained slices of the core of elemental creatures, roasted rodents, slices of fresh mushrooms, unknown dried meat, and a few unknown fruits in the middle.

The fruits were not full, small, rough, and wrinkled. I don't know if they were like this or if they have been there for a while.

As the lids were opened, Old Pierre smiled triumphantly. It happened that a few days ago, a traveling merchant who passed by his city brought a few rare green fruits. He thought that it was his little daughter's birthday in a few days, so he bought these green fruits to celebrate her birthday.

Unexpectedly, there were guests coming to visit, so these green fruits could be used on the blade. Being able to entertain guests with fruits, I believe these guests would be stunned and look up to me.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!

But Old Pierre was disappointed. None of the guests, even Ariana, had any special expressions. Old Pierre, who did not see the expected scene, was slightly disappointed.

After a few sneers, he clapped his hands again, and another maid brought five empty plates and placed them on the table. After Ariana's popular science, everyone knew that it was now time for guests to provide food.

So, Li Zhuoguang took out various fruits from the plastic bag and put them on the plate, while Qin Daniu filled another plate with dried meat. Of course, this was not wild beast dried meat. After all, wild beast dried meat was a strategic resource on the Dragon God. How could it be given to others so easily? These were just ordinary dried meat.

Wei Changfeng was more refined. His plastic bag contained several food boxes. When he put the food boxes on the plate and opened them, they were all kinds of pastries and cold dishes suitable for drinking and tea.

Xiong Facai brought an ordinary toast bread, but next to the bread was a honey jar that was one size larger than the bread. Li Zhuoguang had reason to believe that he brought bread because he was afraid of dirtying his hands by eating honey directly.

As for Pojun, she was more exaggerated. She directly brought two family buckets and poured them on the plate. The plate was almost not enough. William didn't bring any food. He only brought two bottles of wine.

Ariana played the role of a bodyguard and didn't bring anything.

As Li Zhuoguang and others put more and more things on the plate, Old Pierre's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally his expression reached an exaggerated level.

He couldn't help but wonder, are all the nobles outside so rich? !

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Old Pierre and whispered to Ariana: "Are all the nobles here so exaggerated?"
