Chapter 681: Castle Dinner

Newton......

Hearing this name, Cheng Lin noticed that the noble prince named Nolan in front of him just repeated it in a low voice, and there was no special reaction, and the people around him were also the same, if they had to say that there was, they probably just felt that the name was more "strange".

Kindness...... It seems that history has indeed been completely broken...... Cheng Lin muttered silently in his heart.

The reason for choosing a pseudonym is mainly because of habit, just like calling himself the explorer "Ezreal" in the dragon civilization deduction, as for why Newton was chosen, it was a joke on a whim, and it was also a test of their reaction.

Now it seems that after thousands of years of turmoil, everything that has passed has finally changed beyond recognition.

With a soft sigh in his heart, Cheng Lin heard Prince Nolan in front of him invite with an impeccable smile:

"If you don't dislike the barrenness of your territory, please come with me, I have prepared a banquet in the castle to welcome you from the wind and wash the dust."

In the last sentence, he turned to Shirley and the others.

The group bowed respectfully again.

Cheng Lin nodded slightly, seeing that the other party did not mention the "ruins" and his identity here, he did not take the initiative to say anything, but followed the master, walked slowly, and entered this territorial city in full view of everyone.

Well, it's not quite appropriate to describe it as a "city", when Cheng Lin walked through the city wall and saw the buildings behind it, he realized that Prince Nolan's "barren territory" was not a humble word, it was indeed very barren, not so much a city as a town.

The setting sun gives an unobstructed view of the town's buildings, and beyond the soldiers' quarters adjacent to the city walls, there is a straight road paved with sand and a small amount of gravel, which is probably the only decent "road" in the town, and the rest is dirt.

Most of the houses are also made of wood, the building standard, almost a mold buckled out, all of them are one floor, and the only advantage is probably brand new.

Yes, judging by the rough fractures of the wood on the surface of the houses, they were built at this moment, probably because the horn of martial law was sounded before, so there were hardly any pedestrians on the road.

However, through keen perception, Cheng Lin could catch a glimpse of the curious gazes cast from those low houses.

At the end of the road is the town's only two high-rise buildings, a small stone castle, gray and black, similar in color to the city walls, and not far away is another strangely shaped minaret of unknown purpose.

"Please."

Along the way, everyone did not talk deeply, Cheng Lin was led into the castle, and then, Nolan summoned a servant similar to a butler, and asked him to lead Cheng Lin into the reception room on the second floor to rest, and he found an excuse to leave with Shirley and the others.

Obviously, he went to inquire about the situation, after all, the previous "letter" didn't understand much, Cheng Lin naturally didn't care about it, and he didn't even use his perceptual ability to snoop, but just followed the housekeeper servant into a reception room.

"Please take a break, and if you have any orders, just call the maid at the door." The housekeeper said, and after getting Cheng Lin's nod, he slowly retreated.

When the room was quiet, Cheng Lin began to look at the layout here.

It was gloomy overall, but it was cool in the middle of summer, with a huge carpet of animal skins on the floor, clean hair, a fireplace, unlit, ornate chandeliers overhead, but not wax, but some kind of glowing ore, and the walls were hung with realistic works with strange painting styles.

Cheng Lin sat down, drank tea leisurely, and ate some unknown fruits of local specialties, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and Prince Nolan came over with a smile on his face: "Sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"Your Highness is gracious." Cheng Lin smiled.

"The dinner has been prepared, please come with me." At Nolan's invitation, Cheng Lin got up and went to another room with a similar style, but there was a long table with candlesticks on it, the lights were flickering, and at both ends of the long table were placed dinner plates, and there were male servants and maids waiting on the side.

When Cheng Lin sat down, Nolan waved his hand and pulled all the servants back, and then said:

"The Far South Territory is located in the middle of nowhere, far less prosperous than the royal capital, but fortunately, it also has some characteristics, Mr. Newton, don't be surprised."

Cheng Lin automatically skipped Nolan's address to himself, glanced vaguely at the gray-robed middle-aged man hidden in the dark, and then looked at the knife and fork in front of him and a pair of silver chopsticks, thinking that it was a combination of Chinese and Western......

"His Royal Highness the Prince has bothered."

Cheng Lin said a few polite words, and then the two of them raised their glasses and drank the "Dipispo" red wine across the long table, and Nolan said solemnly: "Originally, this was just a normal exploration, but I didn't expect such an amazing discovery." ”

This is finally the point......

Cheng Lin immediately asked, "I was also surprised. ”

He also got some information about it when he returned along the way, and knew that it was the prince in front of him who got the news about the "ruins" by chance, and then sent them out to explore, and by the way, he also mapped the forests in the south of the territory, and then bumped into himself.

"I heard Shirley say that you claim to live in the Cataclysmic Age and awaken in the ruins......" It was only then that Nolan could no longer hide the doubts in his heart.

Cheng Lin nodded cheekily: "Indeed." ”

"This is incredible......," Nolan said, adding quickly, "After all, in the historical records of the Three Kingdoms, the Cataclysmic Age is a thousand years old, and even the most powerful known transcendent who is characterized by a long life will never survive for so long, and ...... His face is the same as before. ”

Nolan did not hide his confusion in his voice, and without waiting for Cheng Lin to answer, he said:

"I don't think it's something to hide. At first, when I received the news, I was extremely surprised, instinctively disbelieving, and I doubted your identity, but ...... When I talked to Shirley and them further, I was a little unsure. ”

At this moment, the night had already filled the entire Far South Territory, and in the castle hall, the chandelier overhead was not turned on, only the long table covered with intricate tablecloths, the lights were flickering.

Cheng Lin sat leisurely and relaxed in the chair, folded his hands when he heard this, smiled, and stared at the prince with an unfathomable gaze: "Oh? ”

Nolan's tone was a little hurried:

"When I was on the wall, I saw your ...... Cart? Well, vehicles that don't need to be driven by horses, but can be driven by nature in the mountains, in known history, I know that in ancient times, there were indeed steel vehicles driven by some kind of strange power, well, that word...... Called...... Car? Even, in some museums in the royal capital, there are cars excavated from the ruins, but ...... Without exception, they are no longer able to start, and ...... It's not the same as the one you're having......"
