Chapter Twenty-Seven: The City Without Any Chance
"The people here are simply ......" Even though she was pushed into the box, Catherine was still reluctant to look back frequently, until she was pressed to sit on the chair, and then she muttered a few words reluctantly, complaining while opening the wine list handed by the waiter in the box, but in the next moment, she heard a snap, she had closed the crusty wine list again, the reluctance on her face was replaced by an extremely serious expression, and she said while getting up: "Let's go."

"Hey. Pannis was already ready, pressed her back into the chair, and said with a smile: "I know you have this reaction, hurry up and sit down, you see the waiter is looking at you with strange eyes." ”
"I'd rather be despised. Catherine's eyes widened, and she lowered her voice and said, "A bottle of champagne costs hundreds of gold coins, a bottle of wine costs more than a thousand, and a glass of the best wine costs six or seven thousand gold coins, oh my God, it might as well kill me." ”
"Calm down, calm down. Pannis pressed the fiercely struggling knight girl, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Have you forgotten, we were also invited to the meeting, remember what it means, it means that our normal expenses here are jointly borne by two organizers and one organizer, that is, the City of Knowledge, the Elven Court and the Neville Federal Council, so you don't have to worry about the price at all." ”
"But that's normal overhead. Catherine stopped struggling and whispered, "This is not normal no matter how you look at it, and the three of them are not stupid, so they won't pay for us this kind of expenses." ”
"Elsewhere, of course, it's not a normal expense. Pannis slowly let go of his hand and said, "But this is not anywhere else, this is Neville City, and in this city, the kind of expenses we face are normal expenses." ”
"What you said is true?" Catherine looked at Pennis with suspicion, "You can't lie to me." ”
"Of course it's true. Pannis said helplessly: "All the invitees, with the voucher for spending in the city, can go to the city hall to receive the return of gold coins, so you can sit with confidence." ”
"In this case...... Catherine suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice, "in that case, waiter, give us ten ...... Woooooooo ”
Before the knight girl could utter some rude words, Freya reached out and gagged her mouth with lightning speed that did not match her size, holding the rest of her words back into her stomach, barely retaining the prestige of the party. Even Pannis, with a relieved expression, nodded and said, "That's it, how can you make such a request, waiter, give us twenty ...... Woooooooo ”
Obviously, Vivien's range silence technique completed her task perfectly, and controlled another unstable factor in the adventure group in time, Freya sorted out her appearance with confidence, and said with a shallow smile on her round face to the confused waiter: "It's nothing, don't care about those two people, prepare two fruit plates for us, two bottles of Winterley white wine, a bottle of Sosa champagne, and a Noka juice with ice, thank you." ”
"Yes, please wait. The waiter bowed in confusion, and Freya slumped her shoulders, leaned back in her chair weakly, rubbed her forehead and muttered: " The two of you are really enough, eldest sister, you are really, it's not enough to have Pannis go crazy alone, what kind of mess are you making, and you, Pannis, don't laugh, eldest sister heard that there are things that don't cost gold coins and can't walk, and you don't have her kind of problem, if you don't stop her, forget it, and want to double her request, if you really want to do this, the reputation of our adventure group will be over, alas, fortunately, we reacted quickly. ”
"Hey, hey, hey. Catherine covered her right cheek and smirked, and said embarrassedly: "This is actually an accident, hahaha, it was just instinct just now, yes, yes, that's the instinct of life, you must be able to understand, hahaha." ”
"Big sister, you're looking more and more like that bastard of Pennis. Vivien pouted and said, "Even the way of changing the subject is so similar, tsk, it's really an enviable thing." ”
"Hey, is it really okay to call me a bastard to my face?" said Pannis, grievingly, "and I only said that to keep Catherine from disappointing, actually, I ...... Oops, don't fight, don't fight. ”
In Catherine's angry pursuit, Pannis managed to make it to the box door and was knocked again. When the waiter opened the door with the tray, he found everyone sitting in the box with a serious expression, as if nothing had happened just now, which made the waiter deeply feel that the tragedy he saw from the box window just now was just his own delusion.
The curtains of the box were closed, blocking out the dazzling lights outside, and only the sound of music still wafted from the stage. Although Neville's style music does not conform to most people's appreciation habits, it must be admitted that it is not difficult to listen to, and after listening to it for a long time, you can feel an explosion of inner passion from it, which is no worse than the music of the Holy City style.
The music is intense, the lighting is soft, the environment is cozy, the drinks are good, and to be fair, it's a great place to hang out, especially if you don't have the indulgents. Unfortunately, this wish could not be realized, Catherine took the wine glass in her hand, lifted the curtain and looked at the guests below, shook her head and sighed: "I really don't like the atmosphere here, I don't like the atmosphere of the whole city." You say that we have a chance to find out the reason for this ethos ourselves, but until now, although I have some speculations in my heart, I feel that there are still many things that make no sense. ”
"It's okay, let's take our time. Pannis picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with the knight girl, shook the wine glass slightly, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said leisurely: "Actually, although it is not wrong to describe this city as a city full of opportunities, it is not very comprehensive, and there is another half of the description that is not said. ”
"What is it?" Catherine took a sip of the wine in her glass and whispered, "Well, I think I guessed a little bit, and the other half of the description actually means that it is actually a city with no chance at all." ”
"Hehe, although it is full of contradictions, you did guess right. Pannis nodded, "A city full of opportunities, but none of them, can only bring people crazy indulgence and the pursuit of pleasure, what else can they do?" (To be continued.) )
