After saying goodbye to Peter, Reiner inquired all the way to the hotel that Mercury Balance had booked for him.

Unlike the slightly dilapidated Crow Hotel where Peter lived, this hotel called the Silver Rose was very imposing, the reception hall alone was much larger than the small building of the Crow Hotel, and the ten-story building stood out among the low-rise buildings with no more than five floors, and it looked like a hotel that ordinary people could not afford to live in.

As soon as he walked into the hotel, Reiner quickly sensed that the guests here were unusual.

One of the mages who hurried by had four gold trims on his cuffs, and on the sofa next to the hall, the two mages who were discussing also had the level of four rings, so it was obvious that this should be the hotel where the mid-level mages stayed.

Someone quickly noticed Reiner, but didn't say much, and there used to be low-level mages who paid a lot of money to buy off the hotel staff and were able to stay at the hotel while the meeting was in progress, which was considered a high-level "luck".

Of course, it is impossible to determine how effective this approach will be.

After checking in, Reiner boarded the waiter-operated mechanical elevator to his room on the seventh floor.

It is said to be a hotel room, in fact, it is more like a well-equipped residence, in addition to the huge bedroom, there is also a study, the living room is bright and spacious, open the curtains, just in time to see not far from Wagner Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the south of the continent stretches for thousands of miles, sparkling in the afternoon sun, on the lakeside, you can see a luxurious mansion, that is the place where the annual meeting of the mercury balance is held.

"Tomorrow?"

Reiner muttered to himself, so far he didn't know what was going on with the adults of the mercury balance looking for him as a little headmaster, but judging by his treatment, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

After a little recuperation, Reiner went downstairs to the restaurant on the ground floor.

Meals were included in the accommodation, so he naturally chose to have dinner in the hotel.

It was a little earlier, but there were already quite a few people in the cafeteria, almost without exception, some of them were some mid-level mages, and Reiner noticed that their food was relatively plain, some even had only a few slices of bread and a bowl of soup, and it seemed that their long-term research life had also deprived their sense of taste as it should be.

Rainer didn't care about that, he ordered pan-fried cod with lemon sauce, sweet shrimp and vegetable soup, grilled beef shoulder, and, of course, a filling butter bread and red wine to accompany the meal.

After ordering, Reiner flipped through the menu again, and couldn't help but find a coke option, which was a bit regrettable, but the dishes that were served soon still made his eyes shine.

To be able to entertain these mid-level mages, the quality of the food inlaid with silver roses is naturally good, the cod meat is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the fresh lemon sauce makes it rich in layering, a smell of the sea comes to the face, and more notably, these cod also have pale red cod roe, which explodes in the mouth, bringing extraordinary taste enjoyment.

The roasted beef shoulder has the smell of fire, soft and chewy, and the black pepper sauce penetrates into the cracks of the meat, showing the wild flavor to the fullest, staging an opera of meat and fire.

After eating the meat, take a sip of the fresh sweet shrimp and vegetable soup, the shrimp meat is elastic and blended with the seasonal vegetables, which is completely different from the first two dishes, and the light soup flows into the throat and warms the stomach after a hard day's work.

The food was delicious and made Reiner feel good and enjoy the food on his plate to the fullest.

Two mages sat down at the table next to him, discussing something, but their actions quickly caught Reiner's attention.

"This is a drink I bought from the people of the south of Astre, it's called Coke, and it tastes so special, I think you must try it."

One of the brown-haired men said, and the logo on the cuff indicated that he was a four-ring mage.

"Coke?"

Another man with short light red hair frowned slightly, obviously not at ease with the black drink.

"Don't show that expression, when did I lie to you."

The person holding the Coke lined up the two cups and poured the iced Coke into the cups.

"The last time I bought the ore for the experiment, the last time the teacher assigned the two of us to do a verification experiment, and the last time we went out with Minna, there was ......."

The man with short light red hair snapped his fingers and said a few times, which made the brown-haired man's face a little unbearable, and he showed an embarrassed smile, haha two fooled passes.

"Believe me this time, it's definitely worth a try."

The brown-haired man pushed the cup with the Coke in front of his friend, then picked up the Coke himself and took a sip.

"Then I'll believe you again."

The man with short light red hair was suspicious, and only when he saw that the brown-haired man had nothing unusual after drinking the Coke, he took a sip lightly.

He froze immediately, like anyone else who had come into contact with the drink for the first time, until the irritating sensation subsided and he came back to his senses and couldn't help but take another sip.

The brown-haired man smirked at his companion's reaction and poured a sip of Coke into his mouth.

"I'm not mistaken, this drink has a different style and is invigorating, and I think I'll make a lot of money if I introduce it to the Rainbow Tower."

"This is the first time I've felt like you're right."

Gulping down the Coke from the cup, the man with short red hair looked at the empty cup with dissatisfaction.

The two ordered some more dishes and continued to chat, it seems that this is the first batch of Coke, and there is no mage card attached, but seeing the reaction of the two, Reiner also came up with the idea of expanding the Coke business to the entire continent, relying solely on word of mouth and the joining of the alchemy workshop, the expansion speed is still a little slow, if there is a chance, Reiner wants to contact the high-rise of the Rainbow Tower, the mage center, and spread to the surrounding areas with the city as the center, so that Coke is really popular across the continent.

Of course, all this is just an assumption, he needs more resources, and the initial income is not only to buy periodicals and maintain the production of cola, but the rest is going to be invested in the repair of Crescent Academy, at least he wants to keep the school from being abandoned.

After eating and drinking, Reiner did not go to Peter, nor wandered around the city, but went straight back to his room, and according to the instructions attached to the invitation, the meeting officially began at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and he should be in before then.

As a result, Reiner slept early, the bed studded with silver roses was soft and comfortable, and the lake at night reflected the moonlight, leaving a starry glow.
