Chapter 177: The Gathering
"What kind of party are you really going to?" Linglong asked softly, looking at Xiao Lin who was lying on the bed looking through the invitation.
Xiao Lin turned around and muttered softly, "I'm afraid it's not a bad thing to meet the opponent first, are you interested?"
Linglong was stunned: "Don't you only have one invitation?"
"It says you can bring one person with you, but it must be the same age, not the old guys. Xiao Lin muttered slowly, and then handed the invitation to Linglong, "You see, it's very easy to understand." ”
Linglong took the invitation card handed over by Xiao Lin and looked down, Xiao Lin stood up on the bed and looked at the room they were in now, they were not in the dormitory of the Black Court Branch, but in the guest house of a luxury hotel.
Because the World Conference is approaching, the Youth Martial Arts Conference is about to begin, and it will be held before the World Conference, Xiao Lin and the others will have competitions every day, and it will be too troublesome to rush back and forth between the Black Court Branch and the Imperial Capital.
In the end, Su He reported to the court owner and explained the situation, the original plan was to ask the court to come over with a transport plane and make a special trip to pick up the two children, after all, even if Xiao Lin didn't have this face, Linglong still had it.
But the owner of the court waved his hand and stayed in the hotel directly, flying around all day long would also affect the state, as for the cost, the black court would come out, and secretly sent a few capable people to guard the whole process to prevent villains from doing some stealing and touching dogs.
"It's the first time I've come to live here. Xiao Lin leaned on the window and looked down, the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital is on a floating island, this island is also known as Imperial Island, their philosophy is that as long as you have money, you can live like an emperor.
The whole floating island belongs to the category of the hotel, and the throne sometimes invites friends to come to this place, and eating at this hotel has also become a symbol of status and status, you just have money and no status, you can't come here to eat.
It can be said that Xiao Lin and Linglong are completely stained with the light of the court owner, although the identity of the court owner is a secret to the outside world, but the status is still there, and it is still easy to let the two children live in this hotel, which is just a matter of saying hello.
"The owner is really rich. Xiao Lin sighed, he hadn't come to his senses yet, when he flew up to the sky and landed on this floating island on a transport ship, he felt like he was in a dream when he looked at everything in front of him.
The architecture on the floating island is completely different from the style on the ground, there are always wisps of white mist floating here, making everything seem a little hazy, the whole floating island is divided into different areas, the better the environment, the more expensive the place, some luxury courtyards are occupied by prominent figures, and the price of a night can be jaw-dropping.
Although Xiao Lin and the others have this opportunity to stay in this hotel, they naturally live in the cheapest suite, and if they want to live in that kind of luxurious courtyard, even if they have the financial resources of the court owner, it will be quite painful, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"It says "It's okay to have a party
Like right here in this place. Linglong said suddenly.
"Really?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "This is too coincidental, where is the place?"
"It's written in the central garden of Tianzi District 1. Linglong looked at the address on the invitation and said, "There is an event similar to a bonfire, and it is all children from various countries who come to compete. ”
Xiao Lin touched his chin and muttered, "How much does it cost to charter that place for a party." ”
Xiao Lin didn't have any concept of money before, after all, he had been in Qingzhu Town for so long before, and he lived a simple life with Old Man Yun, there were not so many places to spend money, and the people in the town were all equally poor, so he couldn't see any gap between the rich and the poor.
Later, it was the same when I went to the black court, and the money of the black court was spent on food and clothing, and everyone ate the same food and wore the same clothes, and they didn't notice any benefit from money.
Now that he is in Imperial Island, Xiao Lin has really opened his eyes, and he feels for the first time what kind of life you can live if you have money, and that kind of life is really comfortable.
He hadn't gotten off the bed since Xiao Lin came to this room, this bed was too comfortable, much more comfortable than the wooden bed he had in the Black Court dormitory, it made people not want to go down to the ground at all, they wanted to lie on it, he may have experienced this kind of life before, but at that time he was too young to forget what it was like.
"So are you still going?" asked Linglong as she looked at Xiao Lin who was nestled on the bed.
"Go, why don't you go?" Xiao Lin said dumbfoundedly.
"Then get up. Linglong said lightly.
"Now?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "Tonight?"
Linglong rolled her eyes fiercely: "What did you look at the invitation just now for so long?
Xiao Lin has done this kind of stupid thing more than once, and every time Linglong can be angry by his actions and say a few words, he almost wants to slap Xiao Lin on the head.
Xiao Lin laughed dryly, got up from the bed with a grunt, hurriedly put on his clothes, and hurried towards the central garden where the party was held.
However, although they were staying in a hotel, the area of this hotel was the size of an entire island, and it took a lot of time to get from Xiao Lin's room to the central garden, and the structural layout of this place was even more complicated than the throne palace.
As soon as they wanted to enter, they were stopped by a strong high-level ability: "This is only by invitation to enter, please avoid idlers." ”
This sturdy man looked at Xiao Lin and Linglong condescendingly, his face was full of impatience, and he waved his hand as if chasing flies, telling the two of them to leave quickly.
A trace of anger flashed in Xiao Lin's heart, but he pressed it down stiffly, when he checked into this hotel, Su He had already told him many times, there are people who are either rich or noble, don't mess with people if you have nothing to do, they can only suffer.
Xiao Lin took it out of his arms
The purple-gold invitation was handed over, and he whispered: "This is an invitation, this is my companion, you can go in." ”
The powerhouse with a sideways face picked up the invitation and looked at it for a long time, and finally nodded, squeezing out a smile with difficulty on his face: "Please inside, enjoy this night." ”
Xiao Lin nodded silently, and walked into the central garden with Linglong, as soon as he stepped into the garden, he could feel a wave of heat rushing towards his face, hundreds of bonfires were burning in the center of the front, and the lighting equipment in the garden itself had all been turned off, after all, this was a bonfire party.
Xiao Lin looked around with some surprise, and there were all children chattering nearby, who looked about the same age as him, some were flying in the air, some were burning with flames in their hands, spinning and splashing, and they were having fun with wine glasses in their hands.
"What is the legal drinking age in the Tianxiang Empire?" Xiao Lin asked coldly at Linglong.
"What's that?" Linglong didn't understand what Xiao Lin was talking about.
"Can children drink at will?" Xiao Lin was also a little stupid.
"There is no such rule in the Tianxiang Empire, you can drink if you want, it has nothing to do with age. Linglong said lightly, "You don't know?"
Xiao Lin nodded: "I really don't know, I always thought that children were not allowed to drink." ”
"Then you can try it. Linglong picked up a wine glass from the wine table next to him, and there was a pale golden liquid flowing in it, which looked particularly bright in the firelight, "This is a golden rose, a unique wine of the Tianxiang Empire, taste it." ”
Xiao Lin carefully took the wine glass, shook the liquid in the glass, and said with some hesitation: "Won't you be like those people going crazy when you drink it?"
Linglong smiled and said, "No." She felt that Xiao Lin, who was drinking for the first time, looked a little funny like that, and she was very angry before, but she saw that the wine was nervous like this.
Xiao Lin took a sip of the wine glass very cautiously, frowned, and muttered, "It's not as delicious as I imagined." ”
"You drink so little, of course you don't feel good. Linglong said angrily, and then she picked up a wine glass, drank the wine in the glass in one go, and looked at Xiao Lin, "This is called drinking." ”
Xiao Lin stood aside in a daze and watched the heroic Linglong drink three glasses of golden roses in a row, his body did not shake his face and did not change color, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he didn't expect the cold and very ladylike Linglong to drink wine so boldly.
"Good amount of wine. A chuckle rang out, and a young man in a fancy costume walked up to them with a wine glass dangling with a fuchsia liquid and a gentle smile on his face.
Xiao Lin's eyes swept over the young man's face, and finally landed on the wine glass in his hand, thinking in his heart that this wine was selling well, maybe it was delicious, he was now in contact with a new field, full of curiosity about wine, and wanted to try all kinds of varieties.
"In Xia Qin Miao, from the Eternal Empire. The young man in a fancy costume walked over slowly and said with a smile towards Xiao Lin and Linglong.
Xiao Lin and the others introduced themselves casually, and they were not very interested in Qin Miao's arrival, and they were only now
I want to drink, but I don't have time to deal with this kid.
"This bonfire was organized under the organization. Qin Miao said with a smile, "The main thing is to let everyone know each other, although they are about to become opponents, they can also become friends, isn't it?"
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.
A glint flashed in Qin Miao's eyes, and then he said, "I'll take the two of you around for a look, and you can also meet some friends by the way, how about it?"
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, people are still the initiators of this bonfire party, Xiao Lin no longer understands human feelings and knows that it is not appropriate to refuse the master's family at this time, and finally he nodded and said, "It's troublesome." ”
"It should. Qin Miao said with a smile, and then he took Xiao Lin and the two of them to walk around the central garden, and Xiao Lin also met many teenagers and girls from other countries.
However, what made him a little curious was that the Garan Empire was obviously one of the organizers, but he didn't see Liuli's figure, and it stands to reason that this kind of lively thing must be indispensable to Na Nizi's figure.
"What is this doing?" said Linglong, pointing to a ring in the distance.
"It was a place to compete. Qin Miao said with a smile, "In order to make this bonfire party a little more lively, it is specially set up, of course, the point is up, you can't hurt people, you can't kill people, and the winner can get some rewards as lottery heads." ”
"What reward?" Xiao Lin asked.
"It's not something of value. Qin Miao said with a smile, "It's just some good wine I brought from the Eternal Empire, let Brother Xiao see the joke, although I am not very old, but I am addicted to alcohol, if you don't like to drink, just watch the excitement, you don't need to play." ”
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he licked his lips and said.
"I'm really interested. ”
