Train to Another World.

Chapter 396 Banquet
Not knowing what the city lord was up to, Li Zhuoguang looked at Aliana. After all, she was a native here and she knew the situation here better.

When Aliana saw Li Zhuoguang looking over, she nodded and said, "We will visit the City Lord's Mansion later."

Old Pierre was very satisfied with the result, so he said to the four servants, "Send the guests to the inn."

After saying that, he lifted the hem of his fine clothes to cover his head and face, turned around, and left quickly. Li Zhuoguang watched all this with amusement. It seemed that shading guests from the sun was also a kind of etiquette here.

Aliana led the way, and everyone headed towards the hotel in the city. The people, who were already fair-skinned, plus the city lord's sunshade team, made the civilians even more frightened. Wherever the people passed, the people hid to the sides.

William frowned, walked out of the canopy quickly, and walked side by side with Ariana, exposing himself to the sun. The four servants watched the fairest nobleman leave the shadows and wanted to catch up quickly, but the other nobles walked slowly.

The canopy was limited in size, and if it blocked the noble person in front, the nobles behind would be exposed to the sun. They were immediately caught in a dilemma.

Aliana also knew that what William hated most was the privileged class, so she said to the four servants, "I know the way. The hotel is not far from here. You can go back to your master."

The servants bowed to Ariana as if they had been pardoned, and then trotted away holding the canopy. The crowd continued to move forward and soon arrived at the so-called hotel. From the outside, the hotel looked no different from other buildings. It was a small earth-yellow building with three floors.

After entering the hotel, Ariana asked for the largest room, but she didn't expect that the largest room was on the third floor of the hotel. The entire floor was filled with rooms.

After reaching the third floor, Ariana closed the door of the stairwell, sat casually on the carpet, and began to eat an apple. Yes, carpet, there was no table or chair in this room, the entire floor was covered with carpet.

Moreover, the carpet is brown all over and has no patterns. It looks very strange, like the skin of a giant creature that was hunted and peeled off in one piece.

The others followed suit and sat on the carpet. Ariana quickly ate the apple, still the same as before, not even the core was left. Then she let out a long sigh of relief: "I wanted to eat it just now, but I couldn't hold it back."

Others were not surprised to see her like this. Usually when they were together, Ariana ate fruit like smoking, and she would have one every once in a while. She probably didn't want to show off her wealth just now, so she didn't eat it outside.

After eating the apple, Aliana said to everyone, "Although the Steven family in Haichao City is very hypocritical, it is considered to have a relatively high moral standard among the nearby cities. So when I am active in this area, I always use this place as a place to stay and a supply point.

Now it seems that Steven wants to make friends with you. If we establish a good relationship with him, we will have a good advantage in this city, at least in terms of intelligence."

Li Zhuoguang nodded. In a place like this where supplies are scarce, the only thing worth money to them is the intelligence network.

Aliana continued, "When the locals treat guests, they usually only provide a portion of the food, and the guests need to bring the rest of the food themselves."

"what?"

Aliana shrugged and said, “There’s nothing we can do. Even for nobles, it would take a long time to hold a banquet. After all, we don’t have much food here.

So just now when old Peel invited me, I said I would arrive later instead of following him directly. This is also a kind of etiquette, and this time is used to prepare food for the guests. "

Xiong Facai scratched his chin and asked, "Are there any particular requirements for the food you prepare?"

Ariana burst out laughing, "We have to get his attention, so this time, we should just take what we usually eat."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished for possessing a treasure?" "I am the one who is afraid of being punished for possessing a treasure. After all, I am just a ranger and I shouldn't have so many good things. You are different. You are the nobles of your respective cities. I am only attending the banquet as your bodyguard this time."

Not long after, the innkeeper saw Ms. Storm and those nobles coming downstairs. Each of them was holding a strange white package in their hands. After leaving the inn, they walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was called a mansion, but it was different from the small castle that Li Zhuoguang had expected. It was just a large house with a garden. Seeing Aliana and her men approaching, the servants guarding the door quickly opened the iron fence and let Li Zhuoguang and his men enter the garden.

After passing through the garden, Li Zhuoguang and his companions went straight into the house. The front and back doors of the house were wide open to allow the wind to pass through the room and take away some of the heat.

The maid led everyone to the reception room, where Old Pierre was already waiting. He had taken off his thick, gorgeous clothes and put on a cotton shirt. Li Zhuoguang could clearly see that there were many traces of mending on the shirt.

Old Peel invited everyone to sit down at the table.

After everyone was seated, he clapped his hands, and a maid came out with silver plates. These silver tableware were probably quite old and had begun to oxidize and turn black.

After placing the plates in the middle of the table, the maids opened the lids together. The five plates contained slices of elemental creature cores, roasted rodents, fresh mushroom slices, unknown dried meat, and a few unknown fruits in the middle.

The fruit was not full, small, rough, and the skin was wrinkled. I don't know if it was originally like this or if it had been there for a while.

As the lid was opened, Old Pierre smiled triumphantly. It happened that a traveling merchant who passed by his city a few days ago brought back some rare green fruits. Thinking that his youngest daughter's birthday was in a few days, he bought these green fruits to celebrate her birthday.

I didn't expect that there would be distinguished guests coming to visit, so I could use these green fruits to my advantage. If I could use fruits to entertain guests, I'm sure these distinguished guests would be stunned and look up to me.

But Old Pierre was disappointed. None of the guests, even Ariana, had any special expressions. Old Pierre was a little disappointed that he didn't see the expected scene.

After laughing a few times, he clapped his hands again, and another maid brought five empty plates and placed them on the table. After Aliana's popularization, everyone knew that it was time for the guests to provide food.

So, Li Zhuoguang took out various fruits from the plastic bag and put them on the plate, while Qin Daniu filled another plate with dried meat. Of course, this was not wild beast dried meat. After all, wild beast dried meat was a strategic resource on the Dragon God. How could it be given to others so easily? These were just ordinary dried meat.

Wei Changfeng was more exquisite. His plastic bag contained several food boxes. He placed the food boxes on the plate and opened them. They were all various pastries and cold dishes suitable for drinking or drinking tea.

Xiong Facai brought a loaf of ordinary toasted bread, but next to the bread was a jar of honey that was even bigger than the bread. Li Zhuoguang had reason to believe that he brought the bread because he was afraid of getting his hands dirty by eating the honey directly.

As for Po Jun, she was more exaggerated. She directly brought two family buckets and poured them on the plate. The plate was almost not big enough to hold it. William didn't bring any food, he only brought two bottles of wine.

Ariana played the role of a bodyguard and did not bring anything with her.

As Li Zhuoguang and others put more and more food on the plates, Old Pierre's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally his expression reached an exaggerated level.

He couldn't help but wonder, are all the nobles out there so wealthy? !

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Old Pierre and asked Ariana in a low voice: "Are all the nobles here so pretentious?"
