Chapter 499: Blonde Boy
Although Anmen City is close to the sea, Lu Tao has never taken those giant ships that cut the wind and waves on the sea, and the only scene he has felt is the sunset he saw when he stood on the bow of the ship with Jack on the Titanic, of course, most of the time Lu Tao did not look at the Titanic in the scenery.
Standing on the deck and looking down, the two-story boat that Lu Tao and Mickey were originally riding on was like some kind of toy floating in a bathtub, which could be overturned by stretching out their hands.
On the deck of this big ship, it was really as noisy as Lu Tao imagined, and there were constantly people in different clothes walking around on the deck, and they seemed to talk to each other warmly, but it always made Lu Tao feel that they were not talking to each other.
"Oh, it's really lively here, look at those tables, there seem to be a lot of good things, anyway, you two are free, my cousin and I went to eat something first, the big fish was also transported to this ship, the cook here must be better than the sailor on the boat just now, in short, there is a mouthful." β
With that, Sauron reached out and patted Mickey on the shoulder, then took his cousin by the hand and walked over to the tables in the middle.
Lu Tao had already seen the food on the table, not to mention, although it was a common cold meal mode for Westerners, it looked very bright in variety and color, most of them were seafood and lake fresh with shells, as for what varieties they were, Lu Tao couldn't recognize them, anyway, they were all shelled, and there were all kinds of shells.
"Mickey, where are we going now?"
The soldier who had just led Lu Tao and Mickey onto the ship had long since disappeared, or rather, his task was only to lure Lu Tao and Mickey to the ship. Mickey still had a dark face, and only sighed after listening to his words: "Alas...... Let's go, let's find a place to sit for a while, if you want to eat, just go to the middle seat and get it, anyway, I don't want to go. β
Lu Tao understood Mickey's thoughts very well, probably because he didn't want to meet the princess Issos named Sophie, this feeling was too normal, what Lu Tao didn't understand was that since Mickey didn't want to see the princess Sophie he had a crush on just now, why did he agree to the soldier's invitation and come to this ship? Or did Mickey actually have some kind of expectation in his heart? Lu Tao thought about it again, I'm afraid there is only one reason left, that is, I don't know what kind of expectation Mickey still keeps.
Standing on the deck, the scenery is just right, it is noon time, the projection of the sun on the deck does not look hot at all, those cool breezes from all directions, so that everyone on the deck of this ship has fluttering sleeves, and the face is full of cheerful atmosphere.
Mitch pulled Lu Tao, found a vacant seat on the side near the cabin, and then took two glasses of light amber wine from the waiters who walked through the crowd, Lu Tao tasted the wine in the glass, it was some kind of sweet wine with a faint apple aroma, it tasted very good, a bit like the champagne of Lu Tao's world.
"Mitch, why are you here?"
A voice came from behind Lu Tao, and when he turned around, Lu Tao saw a person who looked somewhat similar to Mickey, and his age was not very large, probably like his real age now, could this be Mickey's brother? Lu Tao looked at Mickey again, and Mickey really stood up.
"Brother......
"Mickey, you shouldn't be here, I don't remember that you were invited to this banquet, what the hell is going on?" Mickey's brother was very serious, so it was not easy for Lu Tao to sit there peacefully, so he could only stand
Get up and stand aside, and listen to the two brothers talking to themselves.
The brother's question made Mickey's face turn red: "Sophie invited me over." β
"Then you agreed?You should know how important the marriage with Harias is to the Republic of Karl, His Majesty's determination is definitely not something that anyone can change, I don't want our family to suffer any losses because of Mikey, you have only been back for a day, do you want to get involved in the power struggle of Issos?" β
"Well......" Mickey nodded and replied in a somewhat depressed voice: "This is Lu Tao, we met in the barracks, and he also saved my life, so he can be regarded as my savior." β
Mickey's brother looked at Lu Tao and made a smiling expression: "It turns out that you are the friend who saved Mickey, thank you very much for taking care of Mickey, but there are some words next, I want to talk to Mickey alone, can you give us some space?"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, to be honest, he didn't want to stay here, listening to the quarrel between the two brothers, so he pointed to the rows of tables in the middle of the nail plate, and said to Mickey's brother: "That's right, I'm just a little hungry, go over there and get something to eat." β
"Okay, you're free. Mickey's brother still smiled and said to Lu Tao, without any superfluous expression.
......
After moving away from that area, Lu Tao turned around and saw Mickey's brother taking Mickey into the cabin on the other side, and he didn't know where he went. Shrugging, Lu Tao didn't want to interfere in the affairs between Mickey and his brother, he was just a passerby, observing the world, and finding a way back by the way was all his purpose, but now, Lu Tao was a little skeptical about what kind of existence the world in these books was, just like the world that became a cat before, how to look at each world seems so real, any action will cause a chain effect, even if it is the best game in the world, there is no way to simulate such a vast free worldγ
So just like Lu Tao just said, Lu Tao's main purpose now is to eat and drink, and taste the food of this world, after all, in the barracks on the front line before, in fact, Lu Tao didn't eat much delicious food, more just to be able to get energy for his body, just to relieve hunger.
The creature with a red carapace looked a little like a crab, and the internal organs had been processed, leaving the part that could be used for food, Lu Tao followed the example of others, took one out of the plate on the table, put it on his plate, took a knife and fork, found a random place, and began to enjoy the food.
Lu Tao has not eaten crabs many times in the original world, it is really because of such a thing as seafood, even if he lives in a city by the sea, it is very expensive, especially Lu Tao, the landlord, can not receive much rent, and it is equivalent to no income for a long time, not to mention seafood at that time, Lu Tao can't afford to eat instant noodles.
Tried it with the knife and fork in his hand, Lu Tao directly threw them aside and began to get started, he was not used to the cutlery of knives and forks, let alone the kind of Sven Wen of other people, besides, who can he show if he pretends to be Sven Wen in this place? Eating well is the most important thing.
"Yes, yes, I like to eat like this, do you mind if I sit across from you?"
This voice sounded from the opposite side, and Lu Tao looked over with a crab leg in his hand and saw one
A young man with blond hair, the young man was wearing appropriate clothes, and he looked at Lu Tao with a smile on his face, which looked a little like a spring breeze.
"Uh...... Have a seat. Lu Tao nodded, but he didn't know who the guy who suddenly appeared was, and several nobles who were shuttling back and forth around him also looked over here, and then looked away, as if they were not interested in the two of them.
The blonde boy sat down, imitated Lu Tao's example, threw away the knife and fork in his hand, and then began to eat the big crab in front of him with his hands, and said while eating: "Ha, it's more comfortable to eat like this." β
Next, no one was talking at this table, whether it was Lu Tao or the blonde boy, they all paid all their attention to the food in front of them, and soon, the empty space on the table in front of them was filled with red crab shells, which were completely different from those guys who were so elegant that even the crab shells had to be built into a fixed shape, and the crab shells in front of Lu Tao and the blonde boy were piled up like a small mountain.
At the end of the meal, the waiter who passed by took away the mountain of crab shells, and handed the two of them a napkin, and the blonde boy asked for two glasses of apple-flavored sweet wine, looked at Lu Tao and said: "Meet me, my name is Proyas, I think you are more pleasing to the eye, what is your name?"
Lu Tao pursed his lips, daring to say directly in front of the other party that the other party is a more pleasing person, how do you think about it is a troublesome person, Lu Tao didn't want to answer, and finally opened his mouth and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Lu Tao." β
"Lu Tao, this is a strange name, but it doesn't matter, the name is a floating cloud, as long as I look at you pleasing to the eye, by the way, which family are you? Tell me the name of your family, maybe I will know your father." β
Lu Tao shook his head: "I'm not a nobleman, I just came to this ship with my friends." β
"Oh, that's pretty good!"
Who knew that Proyas did not change his face as Lu Tao expected, but looked at Lu Tao with an interested expression: "I see every day those nobles who have no ability but are so stinky that they can't do it, and now they can be regarded as seeing a commoner, what did you do before?"
Lu Tao thought for a while and replied, "I fought against demons on the front line before, and although I haven't been on the battlefield much, I've been helping over there. β
"Wow! Fight the demons!" Proas exclaimed, drawing the attention of some people nearby, but then they looked away again.
Proas continued: "Actually, I've always wanted to go to the battlefield to see, especially against those demons, if I want to say that they must have overestimated the ability of demons, when I was at home, no one was my opponent at all, those guys were really on the battlefield to kill demons, even they are not my opponents, I am definitely not afraid of facing demons!"
Lu Tao shook his head, whether Preas was the opponent of the demon or not, Lu Tao didn't know, after all, even Lu Tao himself, strictly speaking, had never fought the demon head-on, the only time he fought was when he just woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he was knocked away by the demon, and he didn't even have a chance to swing his sword to see if the armor on the demon's body was hard enough.
"You don't believe me, let me tell you, my swordsmanship is very good!"
Lu Tao continued to shake his head: "I don't believe you, it's just that I haven't fought many times with demons, so I don't have much experience." β
"Preas, why are you here? And what's the color of your hair?"
Another voice sounded beside Lu Tao, and even Lu Tao began to wonder if there was a special attraction in him, why did everyone come to him?
