Train to Another World

Chapter 397 Unequal

Old Pier was nervous about this meal. He knew that the food he provided was far worse than what Li Zhuoguang and the others brought. If it were normal, Old Pier would definitely be happy. If you eat so many good things, you will make a profit.

But now I have a situation where I want to have a good banquet. I was going to talk about my demands when the other party was satisfied with the food, but I didn't expect that the food I prepared was really bad compared with the other party. Too far away.

The most praiseworthy thing is that the man named William actually brought two large bottles of pure water. Is this something that people can do? Even in the temple, it is difficult to get so much water at once.

But I am the master after all, and it is really unreasonable to not eat a bite of a meal. So Old Pier took a small piece of jerky meat on his plate and started gnawing it carefully.

While dining, Old Pier found that no one of the other people had touched the food they provided, and they all ate it. This discovery made Old Pier even more frustrated.

Although I have never heard of those cities, it can be seen from this that the other party is really a nobleman. No wonder Ms. Storm is willing to take on the job of a bodyguard. You must know that before this, no one has ever heard of Ms. Storm taking on the job of a bodyguard. Um? !

Old Pier was surprised to find that the group of great nobles on the opposite side didn't eat much fruit. When I occasionally eat a little, I will eat a small round green fruit. On the contrary, Ms. Storm kept eating it from the beginning.

About half of the fruit on the plate went into her stomach.

Although Li Zhuoguang and the others didn't think there was anything wrong, this kind of thing seemed extremely unreasonable to Old Pier. Although Ariana is a highly-known adventurer, she is the hired party after all.

It is already very good if the employer is willing to provide food. How can she eat like her? And she still eats very rare fruits? But seeing those people did not mean to stop them, and even the displeasure was not revealed.

This made Old Pier fall into thinking. He hesitated for a moment, reached out to Li Zhuoguang and the others' plate, and took some food out.

The food he provided could not catch the other party's eyes. In order not to arouse the other party's disgust, Old Pier chose to take the cake brought by the man named Xiong Facai.

But as soon as he bought it, he regretted it. Fuck, it's so soft and moist. Isn't this thing cheap? But I had already touched it, so old Pier could only grit his bullet and learn from the bear to make money to get a piece of bread, then spoon out a little honey and spread it on the slices of bread.

After all, honey looks quite watery, so old Pier dares not apply a lethal amount of honey like Xiong Facai. But when he put the honeyed slices into his mouth, he also received tons of shocks.

After all, the only thing that can taste sweetness in this place is fruit. The sweetness of honey swept through Old Pier's taste buds like a hurricane and rushed straight to his forehead.

He swore that the sweetness he had tasted in his life was not as rich as he felt at this moment. For a moment, a strange noun appeared in his mind, sugar.

According to legend, in some extremely wealthy cities, the nobles there control the only remaining water source in the world. They can grow fruits in their own city, and even use fruits to extract sugar in extreme luxury, so as to preserve that sweetness for a long time.

At this moment, Old Pier became even more inferior. He no longer dared to stretch his hand into Li Zhuoguang and the others' plates for the second time. Although the custom here requires guests to bring their own food, it also requires that the host who treats guests should provide more food, both in terms of quality and quantity than the guests.

And old Peel obviously couldn't do it. This also means that Old Pier's wealth and power are too much worse than the other, and the two are not on the same level at all. If the status is not equal, there is almost no possibility of cooperation, and Old Pier becomes more and more frustrated.

Li Zhuoguang has been to so many worlds and has received many banquets. But this meal was the simplest meal he had ever eaten, after all, everything he ate was brought by himself.

It’s not that Li didn’t give him face, but that the city lord provided something, which was already disgusting just by looking at it, and Li Zhuoguang was not sure whether he could eat it. But I feel that Ariana's introduction is already a very sincere banquet, after all, fruit appeared on the table.

Li Zhuoguang was able to understand the difficulties of the residents here and also understood the other party's sincerity. So after eating almost the same food, Li Zhuoguang wiped his mouth and asked, "I wonder if you have any questions to discuss with us this time?"

Old Peel instantly raised his head, there is a way!

Although the other party is just asking about his intentions, if he is willing to ask, there is a possibility of cooperation. Knowing that the opportunity was rare, Old Pier didn't keep it a secret and said to Li Zhuoguang directly: "There is a Wangya City near Haichao City. There has been no conflict between our two cities, and there are occasional exchanges.

However, after becoming the old city lord, the current city lord believed the slander of a passing wizard, opened the seal of the underground tomb of the Yuewangya City, and released the demon. so……"

Li Zhuoguang continued his words and said, "So you want us to reseal or kill those demons?"

"How dare I make such a rude request?" Old Pier waved his hands repeatedly, then sighed and said, "It's the new city lord. He thinks that Wangya City can't stay, so he wants to change places."

"War." Everyone knew it.

William asked, "That's what I want us to deal with Wangya City?"

Old Pier shook his head: "Of course this is the best, but I am not a wealthy city lord and I cannot support the foreign aid fee. I invite you this time, just to let you know that this dispute was not initiated by us. . From top to bottom, Haichao City just wants to live a life.

I just want to ask you to support Haichao City. You don’t need to dispatch a soldier or a soldier, nor do you need to provide subsidies. You just need to support you verbally. ”

Pojun scratched his head when he heard this. In her perception, there was never an enemy that would be scared away by verbal support from others. The only one who can scare away the enemy is the head of their tribe. So she asked, “Can verbal support work just?”

Seeing that Pojun did not refuse directly, Old Pier smiled and said, "Actually, the strength of my Haichao City is still stronger than theirs. They dared to attack this time, but they were forced to do nothing. Inspire civilians to fight with the city guards.

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

But if several great nobles were willing to support Haichaocheng at this time, then both the city guards and civilians would suspect that the war had assisted Haichaocheng with many parties. This will cause their morale to decline or even ignore their commands. ”

Everyone had never thought that the war here would be like this, but considering that the forces here are all based on cities and their combat power is basically only 100, it makes sense.

Seeing that everyone did not refuse, Old Pier continued, "As long as you are willing to help me this time, as long as Haichao City still exists for one day, they will be all solid allies."

Li Zhuoguang was about to agree, but the door of the living room was pushed open. A little girl in a white skirt walked in, and a maid rushed over from behind, but she only rushed to the door of the living room and stopped quickly, and could only look at the little girl anxiously.

Old Pier turned around and found that his little daughter had come in. He was about to instruct the maid to come in and take her away when he saw her walking to the table, pointing to the wrinkled fruits on the plate and asking Old Pier. : "Father, aren't these green fruits prepared for me? Why did you give them to others for food?"

Old Pier was shocked and angry when he heard this. According to the wind speed here, no one would enter the banquet venue again after the banquet began and until the banquet ended. There will be no one else joining the food at the banquet with empty hands.

This situation is called "snatching food", which is a very rude behavior. Usually, someone who does this kind of thing will be understood as provocation. Although Li Zhuoguang and others had stopped eating, which could barely be considered as the end of the banquet, they were all sitting on the table and did not leave the living room.

Old Pier immediately looked at Li Zhuoguang and the others nervously, but found that Li Zhuoguang had left his seat and walked straight towards his little daughter.
