Train to Another World.

Chapter 399 Over-understanding
At this moment, all the doubts in Old Pierre's heart were resolved. The most important thing about the other party's "boast of wealth" was this bottle of distilled liquor. Even before the disaster, when supplies were still abundant, distilled liquor was not something that everyone could drink.

Because distilled liquor requires a lot of wine to make, and those wines, in turn, require a lot of crops to brew. After the catastrophe, no force could produce a bottle of distilled liquor, not even the nobles who used pure water to clean their bodies every day.

Even the most luxurious nobles would only brew a small amount of fruit wine. Gradually, distilled wine became a legend, and its production process was lost. If it weren't for the fact that his father liked to tell him stories, it is estimated that Old Peel would have just regarded it as sewage.

Old Pierre understood everything. This time, the other party's "boasting of wealth" actually had this meaning. If he hadn't recognized the distilled liquor, whether he surrendered or not, he probably wouldn't have been in the other party's eyes. Even if he joined, he would probably just be a peripheral member of the force.

When he recognized the distilled liquor, he would know the strength of the other party reflected by this bottle of liquor, and also proved the foundation of his Steven family. As long as he was not crazy, he would definitely agree to the other party's recruitment. Only in this way could he really enter the other party's core range.

This is both a show of wealth and a test.

In this way, the behavior of the young nobleman named Li Zhuoguang became reasonable. At first, I thought that he was rich enough to give fruit as a gift, or that he had some special hobby.

Now it seems that the other party's focus is not Virginie at all, but himself and Haichao City. Giving Virginie fruits just happened to be there. If he did not pass the test, I am afraid that the two fruits would really be a gift from the elders to the younger generation.

If I recognize her, then the other party wants to use this marriage to appease himself. The thoughts of the nobles are indeed deep. But Virginie is too young, I have to find a chance to hint, I have two older daughters. If he really likes Virginie, then I will see if I can persuade him to get married a few years later.

Inside Haichaocheng Hotel
Li Zhuoguang looked at Ariana, who had already taken out the bed and seemed to be preparing to spend the night here: "Shouldn't we set off today?"

Aliana said as she made the bed, "If it hadn't happened just now, we could have left directly. But because of my negligence, this situation has already occurred. Whether Old Pierre agrees or not, we need to wait for his reply out of courtesy. This is very important for our cooperation.

Normally, he would only think about it for one night and reply early tomorrow morning, so we should stay here for one night."

Li Zhuoguang nodded and took out a folding bed from his gourd. Others also began to arrange their beds. The third floor of the hotel was large enough and the entire floor was covered with carpets. When they came, they used magic to clean the entire floor. Now they just needed to find a place to arrange their beds.

The third floor is usually only rented by wealthy caravans, and dozens of people in the caravan can sleep here. Now only Li Zhuoguang and his group are staying here, and it feels like they are living in a luxury suite, which is quite spacious.

After decorating the room, Pojun and Xiong Facai couldn't resist their curiosity and went out to see the local customs and practices in Haichao City, and to see if there were any delicious and fun things to do. However, Li Zhuoguang believed that given the local material level, they would return disappointed.

After William learned that there were no taverns in the area, he went out to look for a brothel.

Qin Daniu and Wei Changfeng stayed in the hotel. Wei Changfeng meditated on the third floor to cultivate his mind, while Qin Daniu went to the backyard of the hotel and started boxing. The last battle with Jiang Chen stimulated them and made them realize their shortcomings. After that, they practiced harder.

Aliana said she didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to stay in the hotel until tomorrow. After all, Haichao City was as familiar to her as her own backyard, and there was nothing new about it. And even though she was used to the climate here, Aliana didn't like being exposed to the sun for a long time.

Li Zhuoguang, on the other hand, turned on his tablet and started watching cartoons with Huang Shiren.

At night, everyone returned. The food here was really hard to describe, so everyone ate the food they brought with them. Although Pojun and Xiong Facai did not gain much, they were not disappointed.

William, on the other hand, was quite desperate. He had found a brothel, but the skin of the prostitutes was as rough as sandpaper, not to mention the color of their skin. Even a rough man like William was afraid that he would bleed, so he gave up.

Before going to bed, Ariana closed all the windows in the room, leaving only two small windows on the leeward side, and also asked Xiong Facai to impose soundproofing restrictions on the room.

"The walls of the city here are built very high, on the one hand to block hostile forces, and on the other hand to block the wind and sand. Because after nightfall, the wind here will become very strong.

The wind carried sand and gravel all night long. Without special equipment, it was impossible to stay out in the wild. Even in the city, the sand would not blow directly on the buildings, but would constantly hit the city walls. The whole city could hear the sound. Because this place is located on the edge of the desert and on a wind outlet, the sound is particularly loud. Haichao City is a city where you can hear the waves of the sand sea. I am used to the sound here, but if there is no soundproofing ban, you will probably have a hard time falling asleep. "

Thanks to Brother Fa Cai's ban, when everyone fell asleep at night, they could not hear any other sound except each other's breathing.

Li Zhuoguang asked, "Do you think the city lord will surrender to us?"

Aliana's voice came from the corner of the room: "It shouldn't be. After all, many nobles have tried to recruit him before, but they all failed without exception."

The next day, just as Ariana said, old Pierre came to visit early in the morning.

But what surprised everyone was that Old Pierre came empty-handed, which meant one thing...

Old Peel looked at William who had brought the distilled liquor yesterday and said loudly, "Thank you, honorable..."

William immediately hid behind Li Zhuoguang. He hated being regarded as a powerful person.

Old Pierre was stunned. It seemed that he had made a mistake. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then looked at Li Zhuoguang and said, "Thank you, sir, for the food you gave me. It saved me from hunger and thirst. From now on, I will donate my blood to moisten your lips and tongue so that you will never be thirsty."

William, who was standing behind Li Zhuoguang, frowned deeply. Although old Peel's oath was a common metaphor used in water-scarce areas, it still caused him physical discomfort.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible and that he really needed help, Li Zhuoguang accepted Old Pierre's loyalty, and from then on Old Pierre became Li Zhuoguang's follower.

There were many pedestrians in front of the hotel. Old Peel's loyalty caused an uproar, but no one commented. After all, it was a matter of big men, and ordinary people like them had no right to interfere.

After completing the oath of allegiance, Old Pierre came up to Li Zhuoguang, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered to Li Zhuoguang, "My Lord, the distilled liquor you brought is very delicious."

Li Zhuoguang nodded. It seemed that food was indeed scarce here. He took out two bottles of wine and stuffed them into Old Pierre's arms: "Come to me for more when you're done."

Li Zhuoguang's behavior caused another round of exclamations from the people around him. They just thought that Li Zhuoguang accepted Old Pierre's loyalty and immediately gave him two bottles of purified water as a gift.

Old Pierre, who knew what he had in his arms, felt dizzy. What kind of golden thigh did I hold on to?
But Old Pierre still did not forget the other purpose of his visit. He whispered, "I actually have three daughters, and Virginie is the youngest."

"It's great that the population is growing."

"My Lord gave it to Virginie yesterday..."

Damn it, Li Zhuoguang knew that his behavior had been misunderstood, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Those two pears are just a gift from me to the younger generation."

Li Zhuoguang's answer stunned Old Pierre. Is this, no marriage? !
But then, he looked at the two bottles of distilled liquor in his arms again. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether he had entered the core area of ​​the other party's power or not.

Is there any detail that I overlooked, causing me to fail to fully pass the other party's test? Which detail did I miss?
God!

The thoughts of the great nobles are really hard to guess!
