Chapter 203: A Hidden Threat
The dinner to welcome the Spirit King and the Dwarven King was not grand, but it was extremely rich!
Because it was to welcome outsiders, this banquet was not the round table that Gu Yi and his subordinates ate together, but a very accurate meal!
From the information returned by Lian Nishang, Gu Yi knew that although the banquet situation of the Spirit Clan and the Dwarf Clan was similar to that of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, they still added some of their own things. On www.biquge.info the whole, it is similar to a combination of Western and Eastern banquets in Gu Yi's previous life.
All in all, a table and a chair per person, on which are placed a variety of dishes and wines of equal weight and quantity!
But the difference is that the tables and chairs that divide the meals are not separated, but are very close, leaving only the width of one person walking between the two tables.
In addition, the dining people are also very close, and there is only the appearance of two people passing side by side between the opposite sides.
In addition to the main seat, the other side is vacant, and there is a lot of food and wine inside. If you need more food and drink, just ask the maid or attendant to get it back!
The whole process seemed to Gu Yi...... Extremely cumbersome and cumbersome!
This is not the germination of Gu Yi's personality, but it is really awkward to eat like this!
In ordinary times, Gu Yi and the others all sat around a round table to eat according to the way he brought them in his previous life, and they sandwiched whatever they wanted, simple, fast and effective.
In this way, it was clear that there were only four guests, and in addition to Gu Yi, there were only five people who accompanied the meal, including Ying Yue, Mingxin, Mingkong and Lin Xian'er, and there were as many as twenty maids serving on the side!
But there is no way, according to the previous life, this is a social banquet, it doesn't matter if you are full or not, it depends on whether it is 'elegant' and 'noble'!
"Come, I'm here, and on behalf of all the members of the Terrans under my command, welcome His Highness the Spirit King and His Highness the Dwarven King as guests!" Gu Yi raised his glass and toasted Eluni and Sauron with a smile on his face.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality!" Eluni replied with a smile as she raised her glass.
"Great Terran Lord, I am honored by your hospitality!" Sauron said with a smile on his face.
For this banquet, Gu Yi brought over all the delicacies he could get, plus the secret recipe for winemaking he brought from his previous life, this banquet was naturally an eye-opener for Eluni and Sauron!
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a delicious wine!" Sauron exclaimed while drinking the 'Qiong Jelly Jade Dew', which was priced at as high as 10,000 gold outside, "In ancient times, winemaking has always been the strength of our dwarf race, and the wine brewed is known as the first in the Purple Gold Continent!
"And the food. Eluni said with a smile while tasting the food, "I didn't expect that the human race can make such delicious food now, compared to my spirit race, I am really ashamed of myself!"
"It's all a small way!" Gu Yi smiled and responded gently, "The two highnesses also know that in the past three thousand years, the human race has fallen into orderly chaos! Both warriors and civilians are facing severe challenges and competition, in order to win in the competition, everyone must work hard to improve themselves, so that they can create more and better things!"
"This food and wine are just the product of years of competition between chefs and winemakers! and they are only a part of the competition between our human race in all aspects!" Gu Yi said casually.
"......" Eluni and Sauron glanced at each other, a look of inexplicability in their eyes.
Although Eluni and Sauron could be sure that all that this banquet was deliberately arranged by Gu Yi. But I have to admit that these arrangements have had a great impact on the two of them!
Exquisite and delicious food, mellow and delicious wine, exquisite tableware, beautiful cloth and satin, and an attendant who has reached the level of personal strength...... Everything tells Eluni and Sauron that the Terrans are so much better now than they were before!
No matter what industry, race or dimensional world, competition is the most important driving force for development!
In the Zijin Continent, perhaps it is because everyone practices martial arts more, and the gangs and family forces are criss-crossed, which makes vicious competition incidents very rare, thus making the various industries of the entire Zijin Empire mostly a situation of healthy competition!
And due to some reasons left over from ancient times, the development of science and technology in the Purple Gold Continent has almost stopped, so that the competition in many industries has little effect, and only catering, clothing, music and martial arts have developed rapidly!
Especially in the catering industry, because every top chef has a big force behind him, there is fierce competition in this industry but there is only healthy competition!
In the past 3,000 years, the development of the human race in the catering area can be called a god, and it is even faster than the development of martial arts!
Therefore, in terms of food, don't say that these spirit races and dwarf races that have lived for more than 10,000 years, it is the world of Gu Yi's previous life and the planes he experienced, which is also comparable to the prosperity of the Purple Gold Continent!
As for the drinks, those are some cherished secret recipes that Gu Yi brought over from his previous life!
Although Gu Yi was not a good wine in his previous life, he knew the value of a good wine in the martial arts plane! Therefore, when he traveled in various martial arts planes, the collection of wine recipes was second only to the collection of martial arts cheats and medical poison cheats!
After entering the Zijin Continent, the 'Hundred Treasure Pavilion' he secretly controlled was known for its fine wine business and the Zijin Empire, becoming a huge chamber of commerce with intertwined interests!
In addition, textile, smelting and other life-related industries are also booming, showing a much more advanced situation than those martial arts planes in Gu Yi's previous life!
For example: the silk worn by an ordinary warrior's wife and concubine can only be worn by the wives and concubines of wealthy people or high-ranking officials or even royal wives and concubines in Gu Yi's previous life!
And when a standard sword is placed on the martial arts plane that Gu Yi wandered in his previous life, all of them can be called 'divine weapons'!
As for the level of martial arts, not to mention! There are as many real grandmasters as dogs, and the world is full of congenital beings!
And these, in the eyes of the Spirit King Eluni and the Dwarf King Sauron, are a serious challenge!
Eluni and Sauron can imagine how rapid and terrifying the development of the Terrans was while they hid in the southern forests and enjoyed the 'comfortable life'!
At the end of the meal, faced with extremely delicious food and drink, Eluni and Sauron felt more and more bored in their mouths, and even fell into contemplation from time to time.
Not long after the dinner ended, Eluni and Sauron refused to meet with Gu Yi in the evening on the grounds that they were tired from the journey and needed to rest first, and returned to the courtyard that Gu Yi had arranged for them to rest.
"Guess what they're going to say when they go back?!" Gu Yi asked with a smile as he looked at the location of the courtyard where Eluni and Sauron were, and smiled at the girls beside him.
"It's supposed to be a countermeasure, right?" Invite Yue smiled lightly and said with a little pride, "This dinner party should have scared them! They would never have imagined that the development of the human race would be so rapid over the years!
"Indeed!" Lian Nishang also said on the side, "I have observed that although the things made by the spirit clan are exquisite, the style is too simple and lacks novelty;
"Now the technology of our human race is not much worse than theirs, but we are more efficient and more conducive to large-scale use and development!
"I just want to fight their arrogance!" Gu Yi said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, "These people have been living in the mountains for too long!
"Only in this way can I truly control everything about them!!Let them finally obey my orders!" Gu Yi said with a proud look on his face.
"Young Master, is this going to subdue the Spirit Clan and the Dwarf Clan?!" Lian Nishang looked at Gu Yi and said with a little worry, "I'm afraid there are some difficulties in this!"
"Woo first, then persuade, if it doesn't work for me in the end...... Annihilation!" Gu Yi's expression was a little awe-inspiring, and his words were full of endless coldness.
"Young master, isn't it ...... to do this" Mingxin was a little unbearable, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Can't we really not get along peacefully?!"
"Mingxin, I understand what you mean!" Gu Yi looked at Mingxin, shook his head, and said with a cold face, "You remember the sentence 'If you are not of our race, their hearts will be different'! In any case, the spirit race and the dwarf race are not human races! Now they need us, and they will naturally unite with us! But once they have a conflict of interest with us, then they will also become our enemies! I will not accept them unless they completely surrender! Otherwise....... I don't mind that the Purple Gold Continent only has a human race, an intelligent race!"
When the girls saw Gu Yi's determined look, they didn't say anything anymore.
Fundamentally, they don't have much self-awareness. Except for Mingxin, who was a little soft-hearted, all the women around Gu Yi had no idea of right or wrong at all! Even if Gu Yi wanted to poke a hole in this day, they would find a way to help them!
At the same time, in the small courtyard of the Spirit King and the Dwarf King.
"Sauron, it seems that we are really too isolated!" Eluni laughed, "The turbulent life of the Terrans is not necessarily a bad thing! At least they have a sense of crisis, and they will use it as a motivation to develop and progress!, and we ......."
"Yes. Sauron's brow furrowed slightly, and then he seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I think this Terran lord is planting a demonstration against us! he wants to use this to show me that we are not irreplaceable! or even ...... His ultimate goal is to rule us!" )
