Fortunately, Wu Hui had a way to tell it.

As one of the five origin stones, the heart of the earth often naturally condenses a mysterious texture on the surface, which is a very primitive god pattern. Moreover, the earth-based origin stone formed by the convergence of energy is pure black and extremely hard, and it cannot be split even with holy weapons.

If there is a stone that can collect all of these characteristics without magic fluctuations, then there is a high probability that it is the heart of the earth.

And Jimmy Gaunt happened to have seen such a stone.

It was specially used by a familiar magician to identify him. Unfortunately, he studied for a long time, but he did not find anything famous except that the stone was too hard, and in the end he could only attribute the special texture to a coincidence, and returned the stone.

As soon as Wu Hui heard his description, he knew that it must be the Heart of the Earth he was looking for.

Unfortunately, the Heart of the Earth is not in Jimmy Gaunt's hands, but in the Patrick Islands, the mecca of magicians.

In addition to sending the little dukes Daniel and Black back to the Duchy of St. Violet on the way, the main purpose of this trip to the sea is to go to the Patrick Islands to take the heart of the earth.

As for coming to Amporo Port, it was purely for supplies. After all, it was a long way to go, and even if you took the Archmage Tower, it would take several days, and the original supplies in the Mage Tower were not enough.

"Wu Hui, what happened to the blood of the war giant that I promised to help me? For this vial of blood, I even lent the Mage Tower, but I can't break my promise. ”

Jimmy didn't know when he rubbed into Wu Hui's side, and his voice was restrained by the magic element into a thin bunch, which reached Wu Hui's ears without alarming anyone.

Wu Hui turned his head to look and saw that he was pretending not to care and turning his head to look elsewhere, but unfortunately his acting skills were not very good, and his pale face was a little pale because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time with obvious nervousness. In that case, it's like being a thief.

The War Giant is one of the two envoys of light, and if you covet his blood, don't you have to be like a thief?

He couldn't help but chuckle, and with a flip of his left hand, a small crystal bottle appeared in the palm of his hand, and a pool of scarlet liquid was rippling slightly.

"What is this?"

"This is ......" Jimmy turned his head and pretended to look at it casually, his expression suddenly happy, "The blood of the war giants!"

He reached for the vial.

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the bottle, Wu Hui raised his hand to put away the crystal bottle, and added with a smile: "I'll give it to you when I get to the Patrick Islands." ”

Jimmy's face was suddenly full of resentment, and he looked at Wu Hui with an expression like he was looking at a negative man who had been in chaos and had given up.

Wu Hui was unmoved.

If he had given Jimmy's blood now, he would have gone headlong into the lab and never come out. When the time comes, who will control the Archmage Tower?

"Little Bunny ......"

Seeing Wu Hui's attitude, Jimmy knew that he couldn't do anything, and his expression collapsed suddenly, as if he had lost hundreds of millions, which provoked Liliana and Daniel next to him to can't help but glance at him.

When Wu Hui and Jimmy were secretly communicating, the greetings between Blake and the others and Viscount Taylor finally ended.

"Viscount Taylor said he had prepared supplies for us and wanted to invite us to a salon dinner while the supplies were being carried out. Blake conveyed the meaning of Viscount Taylor, and looked at the others with an inquiring face, "I wonder what everyone thinks?"

"I hope you will give me a chance to entertain you. Viscount Taylor added on the side, with a humble and enthusiastic expression on his fat face, expressing his intention to befriend a few people vividly.

Wu Hui shrugged: "I don't care. ”

As long as he doesn't delay his trip to the Patrick Islands, he doesn't have any questions about where to eat.

Others don't have much of an opinion either. After some discussion, they decided to accept Viscount Taylor's invitation to attend a dinner at his estate.

Viscount Taylor was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the old butler to go down and pass it on.

Soon, truckloads of supplies were brought in. The carts carrying goods were piled to the brim, winding into a long snake from the edge of the dock to the streets of Amparo Town.

A group of sturdy manservants, shirtless, carried supplies off the carts and carried them to the Archmage's Tower.

"Be careful, don't break the plastic wrap on the outside of the rattan basket, and don't even knock it. The vegetables and fruits in the box can only be kept fresh for a long time by relying on these plastic wraps. ”

The old butler squinted at the valets with a stern gaze, as if he could see the careful thoughts of everyone trying to steal and play tricks.

Well?

Hearing the words of cling water film, Wu Hui's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at the translucent film covering the rattan basket.

He had recently heard that it was said to be a one-time magic item made by a group of magicians in the Patrick Islands, which could be used to keep vegetables and fruits fresh. This thing is a little expensive, but it can effectively solve the problem of supplying vegetables and fruits during long-distance voyages.

I have to say that when necessary, the ability of that group of magicians is really not to be said, and it is not inferior to modern scientists.

"Lord Earl, my lords, the carriage is ready, please come with me. ”

Just when Wu Hui was observing the plastic wrap, Viscount Taylor had already called a carriage and sent invitations to several people. Wu Hui didn't delay, and randomly chose a carriage to sit on.

It had rained only a few hours earlier, and the road near the port was muddy. The carriage swayed on it, occasionally hitting stones, which was not very comfortable. Wu Hui was used to sitting in a stable and comfortable car in his previous life, and he couldn't adapt to this cramped and unstable carriage again.

Fortunately, Viscount Taylor's estate is very close to the marina. Not long after sitting in the carriage, the manor arrived.

"My lord, the manor has arrived. Please get off the bus. ”

The driver of the car respectfully opened the car door for Wu Hui, Wu Hui walked down and looked around, and immediately felt a lot better.

The estate is located right on the seashore, with the sand rolling on the right hand side. Under the sunset, the sea surface is sparkling, and the scenery is very good.

The manor's beautifully crafted iron fence is surrounded by rose vines. I don't know what variety the rose is, it's already midsummer, and it's still blooming brightly. Accompanied by the sea breeze, the delicate rose petals sway slightly, exuding bursts of fragrant fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

"The dinner is about to begin, please come with me. ”

Viscount Taylor led everyone towards the main building of the manor, which was used for banquets, and as he walked, he did not forget to introduce the carefully maintained scenery of the manor, what is the statue of an angel a century ago, the artificial fountain half a century ago, and the perfume rose that has been carefully cultivated for hundreds of years...... The whole nine yards.

Wu Hui was not very interested in these things, and only glanced at them casually before withdrawing his gaze, and Viscount Taylor's gushing introduction was also regarded by him as a background sound, and he forgot about it after hearing it.

Several other people were clearly not very interested in this stuff either. Daniel and Blake have lived in Duchy Castle since childhood, and their vision is naturally not comparable to that of a little viscount. Although Liliana and Jimmy are not from high backgrounds, they are extremely powerful, and they are widely respected wherever they go, and their knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people.

Probably seeing that a few people were not interested, Viscount Taylor also gradually closed his mouth in knowledge, and then quickened his pace, and led a few people to the main building of the manor.

In the main building, the banquet hall has been set up.

Unlike castles built for war, the architecture of this holiday estate is exquisite and ornate, and when carefully decorated, it exudes an air of extravagance.

Some gentlemen and ladies who had come early were already sitting on the sofa, talking in a low voice with red wine glasses, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, and smiling and smiling. Under the candlelight, crystal goblets filled with red wine reflect a brilliant brilliance, and the ladies' intricate and ornate skirts float like a dream.

Everything in front of me, compared to the tragic scene on the dock just now, seemed to exist in another world.

Wu Hui was in a trance for a moment, almost thinking that he was watching some kind of movie with a European medieval background.

However, he soon reacted.

What kind of movie is this, this is a serious aristocratic salon.

Speaking of which, he has been awake for so long, and the nobles have killed many of them, but it is the first time he has participated in the aristocratic salon of the serious children, no wonder he feels like he has gone to the wrong set for a while.

Compared to his shaking spirit, the others obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with the scene in front of them, so they walked in naturally and found a random place to sit down.

Soon the other guests noticed them and greeted them with their glasses in hand.

Wu Hui's eyes swept over the entire banquet hall, and found that there were really a lot of people here, there were nobles in gorgeous costumes, there were heads of chambers of commerce who were worth a lot at a glance, there were aristocratic butlers who were dressed in low-key temperament but were noble, and in the corner, there was a middle-aged man with a black leather mask, low-key and elegant but with a good temperament, who seemed to be a nobleman who was unwilling to reveal his identity.

However, these people seem to be quite strange, and it seems that they are not nobles in the Thorn Realm, but perhaps Viscount Taylor's business partners.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited a distinguished guest today, and let us welcome him together. ”

Viscount Taylor walked to the center of the ballroom, raised his glass, and enthusiastically introduced Blake's identity to everyone and gave a welcome speech.

Viscount Taylor's speech announced the official opening of the salon, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became warm.

Many gentlemen raised their glasses to Blake to express their welcome. There is both fanaticism and reserve in each of their eyes. If it weren't for the tone, they would have rushed up to get close to Earl Black. A powerful earl with a fiefdom in a county is a worthy friend wherever he goes.

At the same time, Daniel, Liliana, Wu Hui, Jimmy and others around Blake also received a "warm" welcome. But it was clearly a polite kind of enthusiasm, and they were treated as Blake's retinue or ordinary friends who had come to see the world.

At the same time, at the edge of the banquet hall, a specially invited band played cheerful dance music. Plates of delicate delicacies are served on the tables on both sides for guests to enjoy at their disposal.

The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall became cheerful and enthusiastic, and even the steps of the servants seemed to become a little brisker.

Wu Hui's posture was extremely relaxed, as if he was watching the flowers bloom and fall. It's no wonder that although Wu Hui is just an ordinary person on the earth, the earth is more advanced than the light plane after all, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.

And today's Wu Hui is even more valuable as the god of light, although the current god of light is not strong enough, but after all, the gods are gods, high above and overlooking the world.

"Lord Earl, this is the black pearl abalone I specially prepared for you. ”

At this moment, Viscount Taylor suddenly walked over, followed by a manservant with a gold dinner plate. On the dinner plate, a basin-sized abalone is squirming slightly, exuding a fresh sea smell.

"The black pearl abalone is delicious, but it is only produced in a reef offshore, the internal gap of the reef is narrow, the undercurrent is turbulent, and there are many dangerous sea beasts living there, only the female martial arts cultivator who is above level 3, proficient in water, and petite can go to the sea to collect, and the annual output is only about 100 heads, and most of them have to be supplied to the imperial capital, which is the most precious seafood in my territory. ”

The fat on Viscount Taylor's cheeks trembled slightly as he spoke, and his manners were still excellent, but there was obvious pride in his eyes.

"There are only ten black pearl abalone picked this month, and I picked the largest and fattest of them and kept two of them, and specially let people raise them. Only such delicacies are worthy of the identity of the earl. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the manservant behind him immediately walked up with a gold plate.

A middle-aged cook in a chef's hat picked up a silver knife, raised and dropped the knife, and quickly dug out the abalone meat and slipped it into abalone fillets.

The chef picks up a slice with the tip of a knife, and the abalone fillet is as thin as a cicada's wing, shining in the candlelight.

"Good!"

There was a burst of cheers around.

At some point, the nobles and merchants in the banquet hall gathered and applauded the chef's superb knife skills with admiration.

It is not difficult to slice abalone fillet, but it is not easy to make live abalone fillet so evenly and so thinly.

In the midst of the cheers, a small magic oven was served.

The burly cook picked up a piece of sparkling abalone fillet with the tip of his knife and gently pressed it against the magic oven where there was no fire, and the edge of the abalone fillet curled up.

In less than three seconds, the abalone fillet was grilled just right, picked up by the chef with the tip of a knife, sprinkled with prepared spices, rolled in thin pieces, and then cut into bite-worthy pieces and placed on a golden plate.

The sweet fragrance spreads and instantly arouses everyone's appetite.

"Black pearl abalone must be eaten freshly killed, the thickness of the abalone fillet should not exceed the parchment, but it should not be too thin, too thin to lock the gravy, too thick to affect the taste. The roasting time should not be less than two seconds, not more than three seconds, and there should be no open flame during the roasting process, only in this way can its deliciousness be vividly presented. ”

Viscount Taylor was in a good mood to act as a commentator, and at the same time took the gold plate from the chef's hand and brought it to Blake as if he were offering a treasure.

"Count Count, please. ”

The abalone with a basin is bigger than a plate, even if it is sliced thinly. A thin slice was actually filled with a palm-sized golden dinner plate.

"Black Pearl Abalone is indeed a rare delicacy, and I haven't eaten it for a long time. Blake said without meaning to taste it, but pushed the small plate in front of Wu Hui, "Brother Wu Hui, try it." ”

Viscount Taylor was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Wu Hui with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Wu Hui was hooked by the fresh fragrance just now, and he didn't bother to pretend at this time, so he picked up the fork and forked a small piece and put it in his mouth.

The abalone fillet is grilled just right, the tender skin of the Q bomb is a rich gravy, the slight fishy and spicy taste of the spices just the right amount to cover up the sea smell of the abalone fillet itself, and the umami flavor of the top ingredients is perfectly highlighted, and the mouth is full of flavor when you chew it slightly.

One word, fresh!

It was so fresh that his tongue was about to fall off.

Wu Hui sighed with satisfaction: "Okay!"

If it were on Earth, he would never have been able to eat this top-notch delicacy. If you want to put it aside in modern times, this superb abalone to the extreme, it is estimated that it will not be able to take tens or even millions.

These human nobles are really good at enjoying it, and they are luxurious enough.

Seeing Wu Hui's reaction, Viscount Taylor's face flushed with pride, and then quickly suppressed it and motioned for the chef to continue roasting.

The grilled abalone fillets on the dinner plate were also quickly divided, but everyone who ate it couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on their faces, and they were full of praise for this black pearl abalone.

Even the well-informed Blake, Daniel, Liliana, and Jimmy were very satisfied.

Wu Hui, a real foodie, is even more satisfied, and it is really good to go shopping more in the world, otherwise where can he eat such a delicacy? He has already pondered that he will get more black pearl abalone to go to the kingdom of God to breed, and eat one from time to time, and also give him, the god of light, a little more joy in life.

A dinner party was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts.

Soon, the meat and vegetables on the tables on both sides were removed and replaced with desserts.

The guests were full of wine and food, and they couldn't help but start to heckle.

"Viscount Taylor, although the black pearl abalone is delicious, we have come all the way here not to rub this meal. A middle-aged nobleman with a round body who seemed to have grown out of the same mold as Viscount Taylor raised his glass to Viscount Taylor, with a tacit smile on his face, "My friend, isn't it time to start today's topic?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly boiled, and many people followed suit, and the entire banquet hall was inexplicably noisy.

Brydon and the others looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

Isn't the aristocratic salon just about eating, drinking, chatting, and what else can there be?

"Since everyone is asking for it, I naturally can't let everyone down. Viscount Taylor straightened himself and stood up from the couch, raised his hand with a reserved smile, and slapped his palm lightly.

"Smack~"

The crisp high-five instantly spread throughout the banquet hall.

The next moment, the heavy curtains on the stained floor-to-ceiling glass windows were slammed down with a muffled sound, and the light in the entire banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

At the same time, countless candles were lit at the same time, and the yellowish light flickered slightly, illuminating the entire banquet hall.

The mysterious atmosphere swirled through the banquet hall, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.

Wu Hui's eyes also lit up, could this be a legendary ...... A traditional after-dinner program, right?

......
