"Why don't you consider President Douglas's suggestion? It wouldn't hurt you to join the Alchemy Society anyway. ”

Walking on the street outside, Preas asked Lu Tao a question, they had come out of the golden building of the Alchemy Society and were now walking in the direction of the palace.

Lu Tao did not agree to the opinions put forward by President Douglas before, not because Lu Tao held his own identity and did not want to get together with these alchemists who only had knowledge of chemistry and physics in the primary stage, but that Lu Tao did not know if he would stay in this city next, that is, Praar, the capital of Harias.

"I didn't refuse to join the Alchemy Society, I just said I wanted to think about it first. Lu Tao shook his head, in fact, he regretted it a little, he should have agreed before he knew it, although the alchemists in the Alchemy Association are indeed doing some strange things that can't see the edge, but there is also a huge library there, which may have some special knowledge, and that knowledge is exactly what Lu Tao wants, I can figure out what kind of situation this world, or the world in this book, is also helpful for Lu Tao to return to the original world.

"Anyway!" Lu Tao continued: "I'll reply to President Douglas when I think about it clearly, anyway, President Douglas also said that the Alchemy Association welcomes me to join at any time." ”

Proias shook his head: "Well...... I want to remind you that when dealing with nobles, it is best to agree to things, the first time, otherwise they will have a feeling that they have been fooled, but this time you can rest assured that President Douglas is a very good person, and probably will not have any opinion of you because of your behavior. ”

Lu Tao: "???"

He really didn't know that those nobles had such habits, after all, in Lu Tao's era, there was no such thing as aristocrats, or the real aristocrats were also hidden in the public's field of vision, they were either rich or powerful, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not see that their identity was unusual, only when the bottom line was touched, they would tear off the mask on their bodies and use a high-pressure posture to deal with you, Lu Tao had never seen it, but just turn on the TV and dial it up to a news channel, and if you look closely, you can find a lot。

"Oh, here, then today I will fulfill another promise, bring Lu Tao you here to eat some food I like, it is definitely different from the food in Issos. ”

Lu Tao raised his head, and found that under the leadership of Proyas, he came to the front of a huge building complex, and as he looked closer, the building complex became larger and larger, and the gate in the opposite direction became higher and higher, and finally directly blocked the buildings behind him.

However, just a glimpse just now was enough for Lu Tao to understand some things, such as the fact that the royal palace of Harias and the royal palace of the Karl Republic had a completely different style, which was clearly seen by Lu Tao.

The architectural style of the Prahr Palace, probably biased towards the appearance of a castle, the wide and thick walls with arrow battlements, the towering cylindrical arrow towers, as well as the moats and drawbridges, coupled with the gray and black color from the inside to the outside, all make the royal palace here seem more solemn, less romantic, it seems that there is a romantic history about the nobility, and it does not happen in such a palace, what happens in this palace is only the war order.

Proyas did not take Lu Tao into the palace through the huge door in front of him, but walked

A side door next to that door, this is nothing surprising to Lu Tao, in the history of many dynasties in China, the main entrance of the palace is basically not open, and it will only be opened when the emperor worships the heavens or major events.

By the way, the soldiers guarding the outside of the palace are also better than those soldiers who have no spirit outside the palace of Issos, with such a demeanor, it is no wonder that Harias will suppress the Republic of Karl, so that the Republic of Karl has no room for resistance.

When Proyas took Lu Tao through the main gate, the soldiers guarding on both sides did not squint, like two sculptures standing there, I don't know if it was because of Lu Tao's TV series and watching too much, he was always worried that the two soldiers guarding the door would coldly stab them with spears when he and Proyas entered the door.

Of course, nothing like this happened until the end, so Lu Tao didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed.

The palace of Harias seemed a little empty, after entering the outer wall, there was also a layer of inner fort inside, and there was a large distance between the buildings, looking around, there was not even a single tree, Proyas continued to take Lu Tao through the city wall of the inner fort, until here, there were a little more people shuttling, and the passage between buildings and buildings became narrower, Proyas took Lu Tao to turn left and right, and finally came to a building that was no different from the surroundings.

"This is the banquet hall, I ordered it today, and I prepared food for Lu Tao alone, let's go, let's go in." ”

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment: "It's for me alone?

"Haha, it's okay, I've managed to find someone with whom I can talk about food, and I'm going to let him taste the food of my hometown of Harias. Proyas waved his hand absently, pushed open the door, and led Lu Tao into the interior of the building.

Compared with the plain and even somewhat gray exterior walls outside, the interior of the banquet hall is much more luxurious, at least the red, yellow and purple colors on the walls are not stingy, which makes the atmosphere here soften for a while, after all, it is a place to eat, if there is still a smell of slaughter everywhere, this palace is probably quite boring to live in.

There is not only one room in this banquet hall, but it is divided into three parts, one large, two small, and the one that Playas took Lu Tao to is one of the small banquet halls, although it is a relatively small one, but in Lu Tao's opinion, it is large enough, at least larger than the area of ordinary people's living room and bedrooms combined, if it is placed in a big city, there is probably no 20 million can not be taken.

Inviting Lu Tao to sit down at the long table in the middle, Proias said something to a man dressed as a chef, and then looked at Lu Tao again: "There are many mountains around Harias, which has created a lot of game here, and the big river, which flows here from the upper reaches of the river, takes away the sufficient nutrients in the surrounding soil, so it creates the fat and abnormal fish in the big river, which is completely different from the taste of the fish in the lake of Issos, I won't say so much, you will know after you taste it." ”

Looking at Proyas's rather confident expression, Lu Tao also became a little excited, there was still some time before lunch, but Lu Tao felt that he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, as for this kind of game, Lu Tao often ate it when he was a child, in the countryside of his grandmother's house, those hares and pheasants running all over the mountains, as well as wild boars that came down the mountain at every turn to wreak havoc, all satisfied a lot of Lu Tao's appetite, but later, due to national restrictions, most of them

The game has become a protected animal, and you can't eat it if you want to, so after more than ten years, Lu Tao has not tasted authentic game, and the wild vegetables have not been broken, after all, Lu Tao has not heard much about the protection of plants.

It's as if Lu Tao can always hear the name of the Animal Protection Association, so he can't hear the news of the Plant Protection Society, even if there really is some kind of organization called the Plant Protection Society in this world.

Not long after Proas finished speaking, the food was served in two portions, and Harias also implemented a separate meal system here, using knives and forks, but compared to the delicacy of Western food in Lu Tao's memory, Harias's food was much rougher, the first dish was grilled pork ribs, and the drink was crystal clear wine.

"Lu Tao, I won't say so much, just like the last time we ate together, you can eat as much as you want, a little easier. ”

"That's just great. ”

As Lu Tao spoke, he threw aside the knife and fork in his hand, tore the ribs directly with his hands, put them to his mouth, and chewed them in a big gulp. Proyas, who was on the other side, was stunned for a moment when he saw it, suddenly smiled, threw aside the knife and fork in his hand, grabbed the ribs on the plate in front of him, and ate them directly with his hands.

The ribs are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, I don't know what seasoning is sprinkled on them, so that the meat aroma of the ribs is also mixed with the fragrance of grass, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that he seems to have eaten such meat somewhere, and he really misses it.

Halfway through eating, Lu Tao took another sip of the wine in the glass, the taste of the wine was very soft, without any sour feeling, unlike those that Lu Tao had drunk, it was like adding lime to grape juice, it was so unpleasant to drink, of course, the price was like that, dozens of yuan a bottle, nothing particularly good.

The eating habits here in Harias are not that one dish is served separately, and the next dish can be unlocked after eating the previous dish, but that all the dishes are very good and which one you want to eat, this time Proyas prepared it quite richly, and after a while, there were all kinds of dishes in front of Lu Tao, and all kinds of delicacies were present, which made Lu Tao addicted to eating.

"Yo, my brother, who are you entertaining?"

A somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from the door, Lu Tao looked back, only to see a middle-aged man in a luxurious dress pushing open the door and walking in, just glanced at Lu Tao, then turned his gaze to Proyas on the other side of the table: "Brother, the act of grabbing food directly with your hands is not quite in line with your identity as a prince, right? We represent the face of the Harias royal family, and we must abide by strict aristocratic etiquette at all times, and we must not fall into the face of our father." ”

This man was Proas's brother, another prince of Harias?

Lu Tao was hesitating to stand up and salute or something, but suddenly saw Proyas on the opposite side nodding at him, signaling that there was no need to make extra movements, so Lu Tao still sat in place, but put down the food in his hand, after all, if there were two people next to him who were talking nervously, it would also make the food in his mouth tasteless.

"Big brother, you are here, this is the banquet hall of the royal family, and I am also entertaining friends, so I don't have to worry about bad manners, and ...... Isn't this just the right way to express the closeness of our royal family to the people?Big brother, why don't you sit down and eat with us, believe me to eat food like this, it feels so much better than you were before......"
