Chapter 7: Class in the Food Truck
Before I got to the dining car, I smelled the strong aroma of food. Xiang Chen Liuling couldn't help but sniffle, his hungry eyes were about to glow green.
There were already a few tables of guests sitting in the dining car, and Xiang Chen Liuling glanced at them, they were all people she had seen today.
When everyone saw the two of them walk in, they all showed vigilant expressions, and just now they were talking and laughing, but at this time they were silent, and an embarrassing silence spread.
Xiang Chen Liuling was very uncomfortable and peeked at Blank, but saw that Blank looked calm and ignored the situation around him.
"Let's sit over there." Xiang Chen Liuling pointed to an empty table at the end of the dining car and said.
Blank nodded, and after leading Xiang Chen Liuling to the table and sitting down, he still stood straight beside her.
"Are you going to stand like this all the time? Sit down. Xiang Chen Liuling said in a commanding tone. Blank thought for a moment, and obediently sat down across from her.
It wasn't until the two of them sat down that the dining car became active again.
The waiter came over and ordered a meal for the two of them, and while waiting for the meal, Xiang Chen Liuling asked with a needle:
"Why are all the people in this dining car all the passengers in Rose's car?"
"In order to have a better and more comfortable travel experience, this train has a total of sixteen carriages. Only five of the carriages are passenger compartments, and the other five are dining cars and entertainment rooms, with one dining car for passengers in each carriage. ”
"Really...... What a waste of resources! A nostalgic luxury train experience. So what are the other six carriages used for? ”
"The other six carriages are used to store supplies, as well as large luggage for passengers, and carriages for waiters on the train to rest."
Xiang Chen Liuling tilted his head and thought: "So, can those carriages be hidden?" ”
"Theoretically, no, but if Mademoiselle wishes to inspect those carriages, I'll negotiate with them." Blanc said and stood up, looking like he was going to do it right away.
"Sit down, it's never too late to eat before you go." Xiang Chen Liuling said.
Oh, the waiter served the meal, Xiang Chen Liuling, who was so hungry that his eyes were green, feasted completely regardless of the image, and the guests on the side were dumbfounded, but Blanc still looked at ease, as if this was a natural thing.
After eating wildly, Xiang Chen Liuling had the spirit to notice Blank's elegant dining posture, and couldn't help but be ashamed. Then he asked with great interest:
"Blank, how did you become a butler? I mean, I don't think you're a normal person. ”
Blank asked, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said slowly: "I'm just an ordinary person." ”
"You're a liar, you're not like anything at all!" Xiang Chenliu glared at Blank, she clearly saw a hint of banter in his gaze, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.
"So, miss, who do you think I should be?" The corners of Blank's mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of contempt, but the smiling face was so good-looking that people should be angry but couldn't get angry.
Xiang Chen Liuling was stunned, waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Anyway, I'm also an unlucky ghost who was kidnapped by you inexplicably, and I don't even know what the world is like...... By the way, don't you have monitoring here? ”
"Surveillance?"
"It's a camera, the kind of device that can record what's going on around you." Xiang Chen Liuling gestured hard.
Blank groaned and said, "Oh, you're talking about the Magic Eye. We have this kind of equipment in our world, but this train is under the banner of a nostalgic journey, and these non-rich and expensive people don't want their privacy to be exposed, so they don't have a magic eye installed on this train. ”
"MONOCULUS? What a name you guys...... I can't complain! Xiang Chen Liuling muttered quietly.
Blank pursed his lips and chuckled, explaining, "The reason why it's called the magic eye is because the energy in our world is things like magic stones and magic crystals, which are similar to the electricity, kerosene, diesel, oil and other energy sources you use. ”
"Ahem, ahem! What? Magic stones? Magic Crystal!? Do you still have magic!? If that's the case, if a magician uses some superpower or something, this case can't be solved! Xiang Chen Liuling almost didn't choke to death, and hurriedly poured a few sips of juice.
"Don't worry, this young lady, anyone here with innate magical abilities is registered, and they are all strictly monitored by the Empire. In addition, all magic items are also documented, and are individually numbered and managed by a dedicated department.
Moreover, no matter what magic is cast, there will be magic particles in the space, and they will exist for at least twenty-four hours. As long as you carry the corresponding equipment, you can collect and test, and you can find out the caster by comparing the file.
In addition, there are forbidden runes on this type of public transport, and even those with innate abilities cannot use magic. So, you don't have to worry about someone using magic in this case. This time, Blank finally showed his initiative and went into detail in one go.
Xiang Chen Liuling waved his hand again and again: "Stop, stop, my mind can't turn anymore, the affairs of your magical honeysuckle continent should be slowed down first." In short, we have no surveillance to use, no magicians to mess with, and six cars that could be hidden to investigate. By the way, how did the portrait and family crest that you checked during the day go? ”
Blank didn't answer immediately, but scanned his surroundings with his eyes, signaling that the wall had ears.
Xiang Chen Liuling understood, and was about to say something, when he saw a pale green figure appear at the door of the dining car, it was Miss Rose.
Rose looked timid, glanced at everyone with a wince, walked a few steps into the dining car, felt the disdainful eyes of everyone in the car, she retreated to the door of the dining car, stopped the waiter to order, and ordered it to be delivered to her own car, and turned to leave.
Where there are people, there is society, and where there is society, there is class, and it seems that this theory can be applied to any space and species. Rose didn't do anything wrong, she was just from a humble background, but this was not something she could decide, so why exclude her like this?
Although Xiang Chen Liuling can understand this hierarchical concept, he does not agree with it. However, this is not something she can control, and the most important thing at the moment is to get out of her predicament first.
Blank watched with interest at the change in the expression on her face, as if he had read her thoughts, but only tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.
Staying in the midst of such a group of people, Xiang Chen Liuling felt very uncomfortable, and hurriedly finished dinner and left with Blank. From time to time, people came to greet her, wanting to get some information about the progress of the case from her, so as to add a little talk to her after dinner.
However, these people all touched the ashes, and at the same time, they didn't dare to offend because of Xiang Chen Liuling's identity, so they had to scold and leave happily. It was only at this time that Xiang Chen Liuling's heart felt a sense of bitterness.
"Now, let's go check the six loaded wagons!" Xiang Chen Liuling touched his solid stomach and said with satisfaction.
"Okay, then please go back to the room and wait, I'll be back soon." After Blank sent Xiang Chen Liuling back to the carriage, he cautiously closed the door and left quickly.
