227 Accidents
On Raymond's first day at Ram Castle, a lavish dinner hosted for him by Grand Lord Frances gave Raymond another glimpse of the High Lord's determination to enjoy life.
Finely crafted dishes, fragrant soups, strange cold dishes, special products from all over the world, dozens of distinctive wines, and ten delicate and lovely maids standing beside the two of them......
The sumptuous dinner, with these beauties that can accompany the meal, looked at the Grand Lord Frances who was served by the maids to eat, Raymond was dumbfounded.
"My friend, in this wizard's tower, in this barren land, in the Pamir Hills under my rule," said Frances, who was feasting on it, not forgetting to instill in Raymond the idea of "enjoyment" at all times. "As long as we can think of it, then we as wizards should try it!"
Sipping on the liquor that the gray dwarf had just brought in, Raymond was sure that his expression must be very exciting. "Lord Francis, haven't you gotten tired of this life after so many years?"
"Remember, we're wizards!" said Frances, laughing loudly, holding his glass high, looking excited. "The conditions do not allow the enjoyment, we must also enjoy the conditions, and everything that can be enjoyed, we need to work hard to make the enjoyment to the extreme!"
Listening dumbfounded to Grand Lord Francis's theory of enjoyment, Raymond was speechless and a little envious at the same time.
To be able to have a strong belief, then even if it is so inconsistent with the ideals of a wizard, it is still worthy of admiration.
With a short and shriveled figure and a satisfied and pleasant smile, Raymond's mood was completely relaxed in the face of the Grand Lord Frances, who was carefully cared for by the maids.
Chat casually and listen to Frances talk about the glorious history of her family. The first native wizard Raymond faced after entering the Fairy World eased his nerves.
Tasting the specialties offered by the Minotaur tribe in front of him, Raymond began to test carefully. "Haven't you ever thought about going back to the Midlands?"
"Back to the middle?" Francis, who laughed, shook her head and vetoed it directly. "Don't think about such a problem! Go back and be a low-level little wizard, it's better to enjoy life here!"
Raymond, who smiled when he heard this, applauded lightly, expressing his admiration for Frances's candor.
Because when he first met Francis, Raymond summarized all the possibilities of his presence here with a few simple descriptions.
An unreliable crazy mentor, a failed space test. Two masters and apprentices living in the wilderness......
"Can you tell us a little bit about the Chubu region?" Raymond asked about Chubu with a look of imperceptible amusement on his face. "As you know, I've been living in the wilderness because of a mistake by my mentor, which led to my being here. ”
"I've heard everything about the Central. Not feeling the abruptness of the topic, Grand Lord Frances also smiled bitterly. "If you don't think the old man is nagging. Then go to my study after dinner. Let me tell you about these rumors. ”
Raymond gladly thanked him for the affirmative reply, and the sumptuous dinner was served in this harmonious atmosphere until the end.
The dessert and tea after the meal were all sent to his study at the request of Lord Francis, and after sitting down, Raymond listened carefully to Frances's introduction of the rumors about the central part.
Frances, the chattering little old man, though she has never been to the Central. But he is not short of friends, but he knows a lot about the situation in the central part of the country.
The central region, where almost no ordinary people exist, is a region dedicated to wizards that was finally established by the four major wizarding organizations after a long period of strife among countless wizarding organizations.
Peace, ease. For wizards who are bent on seeking a breakthrough in strength, this is the place of dreams.
Like the middle of a closed area, the central part of the area, with the laws set up for wizards, has the ability to enforce constraints, and is a very suitable place for research and communication.
Similar to the Ram Castle under Frances's rule, the central part is governed by the laws of the four major organizations, with well-established governing institutions and places of commercial circulation, countless small groups, and a wide range of academies and institutes, and has represented the authority of wizards for thousands of years.
Rumors, secrets, cutting-edge research progress, so everything is in the hands of the four major wizarding organizations, if you want to be obsessed with research, then only the central region is a place where wizards should go.
Frances, who was sitting on the chaise long, had a yearning expression on her face for the first time, but this surprising expression was fleeting, and the Grand Lord Francis burst into laughter.
Soon, with the wave of his palm, accompanied by a faint fluctuation of the spell, a closet in the corner of the study was automatically opened, and a delicate wooden box flew out of it and landed steadily on the coffee table in front of him.
"Young friend, you're going there sooner or later to pursue your goal, but you won't have some fun there!" he winked at Raymond, a smug look on his wrinkled face. "This is a good thing that an old friend of mine has worked so hard to get, would you like to try it?"
Sitting opposite Francis, Raymond was still immersed in the yearning for the central region for a while, and Frances, who pretended to be mysterious, made Raymond feel that he was indeed old.
Without continuing to speak, she opened the wooden box with countless layers of outer packaging, and finally Frances carefully took out a cylindrical thing from the inside, and sent it to Raymond, and sighed very embarrassed. "An old friend of mine got the 'Havana' when he traveled many years ago, and it can be intoxicating without you knowing, you can try it!"
Blankly taking the thumb-thick "Havana", Raymond carefully looked at it and found that the surface was a very tight cigarette wrapped in large leaves of plants, rolled up, and a faint fragrance could be smelled at the end of his nose.
Raymond, whose eyes widened in astonishment and his fingers twisted inadvertently, suddenly seemed to be back in his bedroom in his starship!
"The best tobacco called 'Havana', this is it!" looked at the stunned Raymond, and Frances laughed and a yellowish flame erupted from the tips of his fingers.
Instinctively, he bit one end off, and the cigarette in his mouth caught the flame on Frances's finger.
As the familiar wisp of green smoke floated up, Raymond, who took a sharp puff, habitually said the Chinese "Xie Lu Xie...... (To be continued.) )
