After nightfall, a manservant came and knocked on the door and told Chen Yi that the banquet had begun.

"Lead the way." He took his things, followed the manservant, and went to the hall.

The aisle was dark, and the servant in front of him held a torch for lighting. This made him worry a little in his heart, this Baron York, who seemed to be quite poor, couldn't even afford to use candles, and actually had to use torches.

With such worries, he came to the hall of the banquet.

Baron York apparently took the banquet very seriously, and brought his wife and several children with him. Willie Sr. and George Jr. were there.

"Welcome to our guests from afar, Mr. Chen Yi." Baron York got up and warmly invited him to take a seat. The others followed suit.

"Thank you." Chen Yi smiled, and after sitting down, a trace of vigilance rose in his heart.

Even if he saved little George, there was no need for Baron York to be so enthusiastic about him, right?

"This is my wife, Marie......" the baron introduced his family to him, and Chen Yi nodded his head.

In fact, his eyesight is average, and there are only a few torches in the living room of Nuoda, and the flames are blown by the wind, so he can't see the faces of those people clearly.

The food on the table was also very simple, a few fruits, a few large pots of roast meat, and two loaves of bread. There is also a fruit wine with a sweet taste.

As a nobleman, the food for the banquet was so shabby. People in this world are too poor, right?

He felt that the plan to sell the products of the earth's modern times for money might not succeed.

"Mr. Chen Yi, you have come from the far east, and you must have encountered a lot of interesting things along the way. Can you tell us about it? ”

Just when Chen Yi was worried about the future, the baron's daughter asked curiously.

"Here we are."

His heart tightened, this was a problem he could not bypass, and due to the problem of skin color and physiognomy, he could only make up a "from the far east" to explain the origin.

However, how did he come to Locketown from the "Far East"? The experience along the way can't be fabricated out of thin air, so it's easy to be exposed. It's even more suspicious.

The baron said, "Yes, Mr. Chen Yi's experience must be very wonderful after such a long journey, and I really can't wait to hear your story." ”

It was evident that it was not only the baron's daughter who was curious about his experience, but everyone else was also looking at him with interest.

Chen Yi put down the cup, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "Speaking of which, even I don't know how I got here." ”

This answer obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

The baron's youngest son, "Ah, do you mean that you were beaten unconscious and brought here?" ”

His innocent words caused a burst of laughter.

The baron's daughter was aroused by curiosity and asked, "Mr. Chen Yi, what is going on?" ”

"In my hometown, I am a traveler, and since I was a child, I have been determined to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers." Chen Yi made it up half-truthfully, "Last month, I left home and officially embarked on a journey. ”

"One day, I was walking on a mountain road when it suddenly rained heavily, but luckily I found a hidden cave nearby, and I hid in it."

"When I entered the cave, I realized that there had been people living in it. I was curious, so I wanted to go inside and have a look. I didn't expect that cave to be very deep. I became more and more curious, and made my way to the deepest part of the cave. An altar-like thing was found. ”

Chen Yi said as he paid attention to their expressions, but unfortunately, the firelight was too dim to see really.

"I wonder what kind of person would leave an altar in such a secret place. As soon as I walked over to the altar, my eyes were dark, and I fainted. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yi sighed and said, "When I woke up, I had already arrived in a valley. ”

Maybe for those present, this story was too mysterious, and for a while, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke. The atmosphere was awkwardly quiet.

After a while, the baron sighed, "I didn't expect you to have such a magical experience. I have heard that the far east, separated from our continent, is separated by an endless ocean. Even on the sturdiest sea boats, it takes years to get there. It's such a long distance, and it's just a good night's sleep. I'm afraid, and only the legendary ......"

At this point, he suddenly stopped and didn't say anything more.

Chen Yi's heart moved, "What does he want to say?" Could it be that there really is a transcendent power in this world? ”

At this time, the baron's daughter had a new question, "Dear Mr. Chen Yi, is what you speak there also a lingua franca?" ”

"Of course not." Chen Yi smiled and shook his head.

The little girl's eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "Then why do you speak the lingua franca so fluently?" And with our Locketown accent? ”

The others also looked at him curiously, obviously concerned about the issue.

Chen Yi said with a mysterious expression, "In our hometown, there are some people who have incredible mysterious powers and can cast all kinds of magical spells, and that is Fang Shi. ”

"Before I left home, my family invited a monk to cast a spell on me, giving me the ability to 'know the language'. I can communicate with any intelligent creature in the world. ”

The little girl was so excited that she couldn't speak, "Wow, that's so ...... It's amazing. ”

The others were also shocked and envious. Sigh for this magical spell.

Seeing that they were convinced of their statement, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and admonished, "This is my secret, I hope you can keep it secret for me." ”

"I'm not going to tell anyone."

"Neither will I."

Everyone has repeatedly promised that they will not reveal it.

Chen Yi smiled and nodded. What kind of alchemist cast a spell on him, of course, is nonsense. He did possess the ability to "speak the language", and that was because of the necklace he wore around his neck.

This necklace is the only item in that mysterious space. He also accidentally discovered that when he wore this necklace, he could understand the language of the people of this world.

This ability has brought him great convenience. Otherwise, the language barrier alone would have bothered him for years.

He made up this lie to cover up the existence of the necklace.

However, he knew that many words would be lost, and changed the subject, "I have been exiled to a foreign land, and I am grateful to the baron for taking me in. I have a gift for the Baron. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom and handed it over.

"What a beautiful bottle." The baron admired it, but the look on his face was not very concerned, and he shook it in his hand and said, "What's in it?" ”

The baroness said, "Why don't you open it and take a look." ”

The baron uncorked the bottle, leaned over and sniffed it, but did not smell anything, poured some on his hand, a white powder, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Chen Yi said, "Salt. ”

"Salt? You mean, the kind of salt you eat? ”

The baron had some doubts on his face, and licked it with his tongue, and his face changed all of a sudden, it was really salt!
