Chapter 341: Seeing and Hearing in a Different Place
The reincarnation dungeon, which has been silent for I don't know how many years, suddenly sounded today with the sound of chattering and discussion.
The procession of more than a dozen people walked in the aisle, looking crowded and lively, as if everyone was not passing through a bloody and cruel environment at the moment, but wandering in their own garden.
Thor and Stante Diller were around the group, and Teemo was sent out to find the door to Bruno's territory.
The two little lizardmen of the Stante family are full of curiosity about the environment of the dungeon, which turns out to be where their father usually trains and fights. The two sprouts, Andor and Finc, cringed, eager to burrow under Thor's wings.
Speaking of which, Thor and Staunt are still a little nervous, if they encounter a secret nightmare, they will not all die, but the family will be ruined. It's like Diller's single dog, dead or alive anyway.
There are three fourth-order in the team, two third-order, second-order and first-order. It's definitely impossible to say that such a lineup is against the Nightmare of the Secret Realm, but it's still very bluffing to go to Bruno's side, after all, it's just a small deserted territory.
Soon Teemo flew back, threatening to find it.
After everyone followed Timo a few aisles, they saw a third-order female white-robed mage standing at the entrance of a certain aisle in front of them.
There is also a sign on the side of the aisle that is the same as that of Liberty City, and it is quite a quick learner.
Timo had informed in advance that there were many people on the other side, and three secret gates had been prepared on the other side at this moment.
In the astonishment of the mushrooms and bean sprouts, everyone's eyes disappeared and came to a new environment. Thor raised his eyes and glanced around, only to find that this Bruno Lord was also quite atmospheric, and the door of the secret realm was directly opened in the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion.
Saul remembered a piece of information he had received from Diller's intelligence services not long ago. It is said that a monster escaped from the secret gate of a small territory, causing some chaos and casualties in the local area, and was later wiped out by the town's defenses.
The fact that a monster runs out through the gate of the secret realm may be like encountering a nightmare in the secret realm, which is a small probability event, but there is still a possibility after all.
Based on this, the Free City has now begun to control the use of the Secret Gate.
instructed adventurers and people who are unwilling to be ordinary and want to pursue their powers, not to open the door of the secret realm at will, and specially set aside a place for opening the secret realm.
Even Thor usually goes down to the dungeon to open the door over there, and he doesn't dare to open it in his bedroom again.
Seeing the appearance of Thor and his party, Elle and the others, who had been waiting in front of the stairs of the main hall in advance, also took the initiative to greet them.
"Ha, welcome guests to Lower Essen Bruno. Lord Thor, who has admired it for a long time, is finally able to raise a glass together today, which is an honor for the next. A middle-aged man who looked polite took the initiative to salute everyone and introduce himself.
Essen should be the current lord of Bruno's territory, but this act of waiting in advance and greeting him in person still flattered Thor a little. Thor has always belonged to the kind of stinky stone where you are more horizontal than me, and you retreat more than I retreat.
What's even more embarrassing is that he came with a family roaring, and others were so polite, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Your welcome, Lord Essen, it is also an honor for our family to come and experience the scenery of Bruno's territory. These are all family and friends below, maybe there are more people, and it seems that the Lord of Essen is going to break the bill today. Sol Qian smiled.
Lord Essen also pushed out the family behind him, and then there was a tedious exchange of etiquette between the two sides.
"Ha, no, although my Bruno territory is not rich in the surrounding area, I am still confident in entertaining you. Come, now please come with me, dinner time is not yet here, please take a break with a cup of hot tea before that. ”
As he spoke, Essen spread out his hands and invited the group to go, followed by his family and servants.
It is undeniable that Lord Essen has done a good job in terms of etiquette, and Thor can't figure out whether the other party's gesture is due to the influence of the Holy See of Light, or other reasons. But others are so polite, and Thor is also very easy-going.
This kind of occasion is actually more suitable for Braun to attend.
After all, Thor himself is no longer a lord, but the Holy See of Light still does not let him go.
Before leaving, Thor accompanied Petty to the New Lord's Palace, preparing to call the old Braun goblin and make the noise louder.
But the old goblin looked sour, yelling that he would not go, and that he was not invited by others, so why did he chase after him to be a foil, which made Thor and Petty cry and laugh. This old guy is a lot old and can play with children's tempers.
"You don't change your clothes all year round?" said Aretha slowed as she walked beside Thor.
"How can Her Majesty take care of such a trivial matter? The poor are not qualified to pay attention. Thor replied nonchalantly.
"Look~" Aresa expressed her disdain.
"Why didn't you see Archbishop Bernat?" asked Saul in passing.
"Is it okay for our church to be very disciplined? And it's just my own idea to invite you today. Aresa replied.
This Holy Light Shiitake seems to be in a good mood, but in fact, Thor has just discovered that most of Aretha's attention has been staying on her own shiitake mushrooms. I don't know what she's observing, and what conclusions she's drawn in the end.
Saul guessed that women were usually just that, more beautiful than men, more beautiful than clothes and jewelry, and it seemed that even if the Holy Light was added, it would be no exception.
It is undeniable that as the face of the Holy See of Light, as far as Aresa's appearance is concerned, a bright and moving person will definitely not be able to run away, but unfortunately it is useless. Their own shiitake mushrooms are always the most beautiful, and Saul's position has always been firm.
The mansion of the lord of Essen has been around for some years, and when you enter the door, there is a very large main hall, as if there is only one room in the entire lord's mansion. The wall murals, sculptures, fresh flowers and plants, and the floor is full of gorgeous red carpets.
Two opposing curved staircases on the side of the wall lead to the second floor, which should be the owner's real living area. As for the main hall, because there is no partition, you can see several crystal lamps hanging high when you look up, and the space inevitably gives people a sense of spaciousness.
This pattern is indeed very good, which can be seen from the shining eyes of their own mushrooms, but is it okay for others to hold dance parties often?
Forget it, if your mushrooms have an idea after you go back, change it, do you have so much money to keep to lay eggs?
The main hall of the Lord's Palace of Essen is used for receptions, meetings, balls, in short, everything is enough.
Sol estimates that the venue for tonight's dance should be here, and in terms of guests, there will definitely not be only a group of people on his side, it is estimated that the time has not yet come, and it is estimated that there are not many local families who dare to go to the lord's house to eat.
After all, it is not common in this world for warriors who dare to tear off their faces directly like Thor, and everyone is still observing some etiquette.
Eating everything but the face, and eating everything but dung, has always been the orphan creed of Saul and Schugoth.
Now that Shogues is gone, he is still alone in the long time, and there is not much left behind. So Thor decided to stay true to this creed, even if he was alone.
Essen led the crowd into the rotunda and spread them out around the small round table by the wall to drink tea.
He himself sat down beside Thor and chatted, and the two of them talked about trivial and wide-ranging. From the situation between provinces, to local specialties, to peripheral trade, and even the adventurous environment near each other.
In the end, Essen politely said that in the future, there should be more trade between the two territories, and even various cooperation outside of trade. For example, we help each other, fight together against threats from the dark wilderness, and so on.
Essen was so sincere that Saul couldn't tell if it was social gossip or if there was a real need. However, Essen basically agreed to what Sol said, and promised to inform the new lord when he returned, after all, these are also good things for the development of Free City.
Time passed slowly, and soon the servants of the Lord's Mansion of Essen brought in the dining table, an elongated dining table like the Thor family.
However, with so many people, one dining table was obviously not enough, so one of the same one was brought in, and two were side by side.
Well, this kind of oversized dining table can prepare two, which is also a big deal. Looking at the many servants who were busy in the hall, Thor couldn't help but feel a little emotional, how could it be like his own home, only the two sprouts of Andor and Finch were suffering silently.
In Diller's usual words, when it comes to enjoyment, I really can't do it.
Soon the dishes were served, and Saul was at the table with his own mushrooms, accompanied by Essen and his family, and Aretha was there. The rest of the Stant and Diller, as well as the people of the Holy Light Church, sat down at another table, and only then did they barely settle all the people on both sides.
The atmosphere of the banquet is very good, although it is not as noisy and lively as your own home, but there is also a quiet and stable dining atmosphere. Saul and Essen took turns toasting, with Saul expressing an absolute sense of being at home and thanking the Essen family for their hospitality.
Time passed in the smell of food and toasts, and soon night came.
Then the plates were removed, the tables and chairs were removed, and the empty hall was clearly the venue for the ball.
The first to enter were a few musicians holding various musical instruments, and it was impossible to tell if they were troubadours in relatively formal attire. As the music sounded in the hall, Essen, as the host, politely quit and began to busied himself to greet the visitors.
Soon, people entered the hall one after another, and the hall began to feel slightly crowded and lively. Thor called the shiitake mushrooms with fruit wine to his side, so as not to encounter any malice lurking in the chaos of the crowd.
Then Sol's group silently occupied a corner of the hall, watching with great interest the gathering of visitors and greeting each other.
When he saw Eletha's Holy Light Shiitake Mushroom walking towards him, Thor knew that the main play was about to begin.
