The horses of the Sixth District walked on the bluestone paved streets, and the sound of wheels running over the road sounded the silent night. In this era, most cities have curfews, and ordinary people cannot go out at will, only nobles, warriors, sorcerers, military and other special personnel will not be restricted by this ban.

The lord's mansion was built on a standing slope, and most of the upper class liked to overlook their territory. The carriage made its way up the winding mountain road, and it was not the only one lonely at night, with other carriages of small nobles or big merchants in front and behind. Udil's carriage went more slowly, and there was a long line of carriages behind it, each of which was larger and more luxurious than Udil's. But no carriage surpassed it.

There was no other reason for this, because the bodies of the other carriages were not engraved with heraldic arms. The heraldic was a status symbol, and the people who were eligible to have this symbol of power on the carriage were only eligible for the royal family, nobles above the lord level, servants of the sun god, and those who pondered souls.

Among the long carriages in the back, there was one of the most luxurious and conspicuous. There was a young man in his twenties, who felt that the carriage was a little slow, and asked the coachman in front of him what was the reason through the ornate curtains, and when he received the reply, he said to himself coldly: "Soul contemplative, what a great pomp! ”

The movement speed of the carriage was too slow, Chen Xiansong had long been accustomed to the new human being accustomed to all kinds of magnetic levitation, or the high speed of anti-gravity aircraft, which made him feel very bored, if it wasn't for Udil who kept pulling him to chat, he would have fallen asleep a long time ago.

Before Chen Xiansong was possessed by a sleepy bug, the carriage finally reached its destination.

Unlike the pitch black environment at the foot of the mountain, the lord's mansion was brightly lit, and large bright candles were lit everywhere. When Chen Xiansong and Udier stepped out of the carriage, a waiter immediately came to greet them. The guests with the coat of arms engraved on the carriage don't even think about it, they are definitely big people, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Chen Xiansong is quite curious about things like candles, and after the new humans established an ammonia-3 base on the moon, they completely solved the earth's energy problem. It was the first time he had seen something like a candle that only existed in electronic history books and museums and was burning.

Seeing him like this, Udir was a little misunderstood: "Child, I heard that the great nobles of the Aurora Kingdom like to use the Night Pearl as a light source, so it must be the first time you have seen such a cheap thing as a candle." ”

Chen Xiansong sighed: "Sort of." ”

Candles aren't cheap at all. Like this kind of large candle for the banquet of the nobles, it can burn for about three hours, and the price is five silver coins each, and in the lord's mansion, at least a hundred candles are lit at the same time, and a batch may have to be replaced halfway, not counting other food and drink expenses, the cost of candles alone may be about a hundred gold coins.

It is said that the minimum consumption of a normal nobleman holding a banquet is at least three hundred to five hundred gold coins, while the royal banquet is more exaggerated and may reach a high expenditure of around one thousand gold coins.

Chen Xiansong and Udir entered the lord's mansion, and the old lord who received the news immediately greeted him with his three sons and youngest daughter. The old lord's name is Tolvar. Bush, who was about 50 years old, with a fair face and a noble ruby ring on his head, walked up with a smile when he saw Udil Ha Lu Ha Da Lu: "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have held three banquets in the past six months, and only this time you are willing to come." ”

Udir stepped forward, hugged Tolhua, and then smiled: "No way, there are too many things in the association, and besides, you also know that I don't like too noisy environments." ”

"Of course I know." The old lord patted his old friend on the shoulder vigorously, and then looked at Chen Xiansong: "This handsome little guy should be your heir, well, the eyes are as bright as when you were young." Son, I am the lord of the Black Earth City, Tolhua. Bush, it's a pleasure for you to come to my dinner. ”

Chen Xiansong nodded slightly and said, "You're polite, I'm Chen Xiansong, I'm very happy to meet Your Excellency." ”

Next, the old lord introduced his sons and daughters to Chen Xiansong, the eldest son Ze Long'er, who had a direct conflict with Chen Xiansong, and after seeing him, he just snorted coldly and did not speak again. The second son and the third son are very similar to the old lord in appearance, except for some arrogance, there is no other outstanding place, but his youngest daughter, when she was introduced, looked at Chen Xiansong with a pair of charming eyes. ,

After a few words, the old lord took his children to receive the other guests, and Udir was talking to other acquaintances. The banquet in the Lord's Palace, the guards were not allowed to enter, and Chen Xiansong was now alone, he got a drink similar to wine from the waiter, and while sipping lightly, he ate the delicacies on the table.

After all, he is a new soul thinker, and his every move is noticed, and besides, it is such an opportunity to 'be alone'. Not long after, a young man approached with a wine glass, and after staring at Chen Xiansong for a while with a pair of slender eyes, he asked, "I heard that you are the new soul contemplative of Black Earth City?" ”

Chen Xiansong glanced up at him and said, "Sort of." Then he went back to eating what was on the table.

"It's rude to eat at a banquet." There was a hint of mockery in the young man's tone: "Looking at your appearance, you should also be from a noble background, why don't you even understand this truth?" Or rather, the people of the Aurora Kingdom haven't eaten anything good? That's right, some time ago, there was a great famine in the Kingdom of Aurora, and I heard that many people died of starvation. ”

Chen Xiansong glanced at him, chewed the things in his mouth a few more times, swallowed his stomach, and then picked up a white towel from the side, wiped his mouth, and finally put the white silk towel on the hand of the waiter on the side, and then said slowly: "The reason is very simple, I'm hungry." ”

Although Chen Xiansong doesn't know what banquet etiquette is, many things are common in the Anthropocene realm. Like him, his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, his unhurried and unhurried character, and his calm and calm expression, to put it bluntly, is also a kind of aura, and even more so as a natural person in the new human era, his knowledge and sentiment are far better than most people in this era.

So what he said was very reasonable, if other people with a bad temperament or couldn't control the scene said it, most of them would make people feel funny, but when he said it, it could make people feel very convincing. The young man who came to find the scum was stunned for a moment, but then said: "Looking at Your Excellency, I can imagine the current scene of the Aurora Kingdom, most of them are even hungry to the point of being human. ”

Chen Xiansong looked at him for a while and asked, "What is your name?" ”

The young man flicked his pure white man's aristocratic robe: "Baron of the First Rank, Keane. Howard. ”

Male, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male. A baron is the lowest noble title, but no matter how low, it is still a nobleman.

"Alright then, there's a question I want to ask, Baron Howard" Chen Xiansong looked at the other party and asked rather puzzled, "Have we met before?" ”

"Nope!"

Chen Xiansong continued to ask, "Then we used to have a festival?" ”

"Neither!"

Chen Xiansong became more and more puzzled: "Or have I inadvertently offended your relatives or friends?" ”

"No, I didn't."

Chen Xiansong had an angry expression on his face: "Since we haven't met, we haven't celebrated, and we can't talk about hostility, but you ran up to me dryly to find trouble, are you too idle to do anything?" If you are really too idle, drink more alcohol and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows. If it doesn't work, just go find a few more women to vent, and the book also said that holding it for a long time is not good for your health. ”

Then Chen Xiansong waved his hand lightly, as if driving away a worm: "Go quickly, don't stop me from eating, I haven't eaten dinner yet." ”

Howard's face turned white all of a sudden, and he sneered: "Let's be honest, I think you are like an impostor, there may not be one among the 100,000 soul contemplators, you are a person from the Aurora Kingdom, as soon as you come to us, you actually become a soul contemplator, I have investigated, when the Akara merchant group found you, you were dressed no different from a beggar." ”

"You suspect I'm a liar?" Chen Xiansong looked at him and asked.

"yes, unless you can find a way to prove yourself," Howard said. ”

The quarrel between the two attracted a lot of attention, and now they are surrounded by a group of people in the middle. Chen Xiansong flicked his fingers and said with a smile: "Simple, I didn't have to prove anything, but for the sake of my innocence, it seems that I have to explain it......" Chen Xiansong smiled slyly, then picked up a white fruit from the side and said: "The obligation of the soul contemplative is to create and transmit knowledge, this fruit looks ordinary, in fact, it also has another name, called apple, about apples, in addition to eating, there are many special uses, for example, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, apple sauce...... They are all extremely expensive drinks, which can aphrodisiac beauty and anti-aging, and are the secret secret recipes of the upper high-ranking families of the Aurora Kingdom. ”,

Hearing the unexpected useful knowledge, Howard's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh, do you know how they do it?" ”

"Of course, I know it!" Chen Xiansong held the white fruit, and seeing that Howard's attention was completely focused on what he was saying, he smiled slightly: "In order to make the three drinks I said, you must find a qualified apple......

Howard nodded, not only that, but the crowd of onlookers around him also had a shiny expression.

"Qualified apples are red." Chen Xiansong's words turned sharply, and he suddenly ordered: "Howard, imagine what the red apple looks like!" ”

"Red apples...... Imagine ......" Howard was stunned for a moment, then hugged his head suddenly, knelt on the ground, trembled vigorously, and cold sweat kept flowing, this situation was exactly the same as Alex's performance yesterday, but he was much more powerful than Alex after all, with his own willpower, he struggled out of the pain of imagination, and stared at Chen Xiansong angrily with his eyes: "You actually dare to me!" ”

Because Chen Xiansong's command sentence focused on the three words 'Howard', the surrounding bystanders were not affected, but a slight pain was inevitable.

Chen Xiansong looked at him and said with a smile: "I think this method is quite useful to prove that I am not a liar." ”
