The Great Seminary

Chapter 382 Gaffe

Silverfish Street in the 'Civilization Vanguard City' of the Zhenlong Island concession area was originally just a place where small and medium-sized businesses gathered.

However, because of a company called Black Lion and Tiger United Trading Company, whose major shareholder is said to be the Emperor of the True Dragon Kingdom, it gradually became 'noble'.

It's like how the first thing a poor person does after becoming rich is often to move house.

From the ordinary working-class areas where the masses gather, vanity has drawn them away from the places of 'high quality'.

Conversely, if he becomes extremely wealthy, or even becomes a symbol of 'wealth and honor' himself, then the situation will reverse.

It wasn't him who was drawn in, but rather others who were drawn in, transforming the slums they inhabited into a haven of vanity and luxury...

A gentle breeze rippled through the air.

Walking on the clean and tidy stone-paved road of Silver Fish Street.

Zhang Gui noticed that the vendors who used to wear wooden pendants around their necks and sell cigars, chewing tobacco, and spirits had disappeared.

A few more shops have sporadically appeared on both sides of the street, including luxurious and elegant cigar bars and tasting bars.

So I randomly picked one and went inside.

The young, beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed waiter led them to an inconspicuous booth in the corner.

He said, “Please give me a box of five ‘Tree Knight Dagger’ cigars.”

Also, what's the best sweet iced fruit wine you have here?

As he spoke, he used his divine intuition to communicate with Salisa, who was only a hundred meters away, in the manager's office on the second floor of the Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company in the middle of Silverfish Street.

"Excuse me, sir, our 'Fragrant Beauty' is a dedicated cigar bar."

Therefore, the beverages sold are all wines paired with various cigar flavors; there are no sweet wines.

"Then please go outside and buy me two large bottles of sweet fruit wine, and freeze them in an ice bucket."

The rest is your tip.

Zhang Gui snapped out of his daze and handed the waiter a small golden eagle.

One small golden eagle is equivalent to twenty large eagle coins, which used to be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.

Now, for reasons unknown to some people at the bottom of society, its value has increased somewhat.

Specifically, this is reflected in the fact that wealthy customers who used to be willing to pay with the convenient little Golden Eagle coins are now paying with bags of Big Eagle coins.

So the waiter who initially thought Zhang Gui lacked "taste" suddenly found him endearing, with his charming features, carefree demeanor, and unconventional style.

He put away the little golden eagle and replied in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Yes, sir."

"I'll bring the 'Tree Knight Short Sword' right away, and please wait a moment for the iced liqueur."

"Okay, thank you." Zhang Gui smiled politely.

After the 'Tree Knight Short Sword' was delivered, she refused the waiter who obviously lifted her skirt and came over to light her cigarette.

He took out a cigar, cut off the 'head', toasted the thick body of the tobacco, and took a satisfying puff. "Could you please bring the iced sweet wine quickly?"

"Oh, my dear friend, I'm relieved to see you still have the mood to draw the 'Tree Knight Short Sword' and wait to drink some iced sweet wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice came from behind him, "It seems that there is still hope for us 'humans'."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui laughed genuinely for the first time in five days. He turned to look at Salissah, who had spoken sarcastically, and said, "Me too, respected partner."

Seeing that you're still in the mood to joke makes me feel relieved.

It seems that this arrogant, newly born deity, in the face of external enemies and the ancient supreme being, restrained his temper.

"Yes, just like a common saying among you Easterners, old ginger is spicier."

After all, the Supreme One is different!

Salisa smiled and took a few steps forward, sitting down opposite Zhang Gui. She didn't continue the conversation, but calmly looked at the waiter. The waiter immediately retreated with a stiff expression.

Salisa's speech, manners, appearance, clothing, and temperament were all extraordinary, giving off an impression that he was not to be trifled with.

Young women like her, who only have looks and figure but nothing else, are unlikely to find a waitress job on Silverfish Street, so they have to cherish it.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui simply smiled and took out another 'Tree Knight Short Sword'. "Want a cigar?"

Salissa nodded, watching the blonde, blue-eyed young woman's disappearing figure, and suddenly said:

"What if she knew that she was seducing the emperor, the true dragon?"

Forget about success; just getting even the slightest attention could completely change my destiny. Would I persevere?

"Before we get to the most serious topics, let's chat about the most absurd and ridiculous erotic topics to lighten the mood, Salisa."

I don't think it's necessary given our emotional stability and intelligence.

After Zhang Gui 'cut off' the head and roasted the tobacco for the second time, he also lit a cigar for Salisa and smiled strangely.

"Xia Que, under the command of Emperor Daqi, has been a symbol, a legend, or, well, a mysterious organization with an ancient and lofty name for thousands of years."

As of a few days ago.

A thin old man named Su Hui, who came from Xia Que and held the ancient title of 'Daifu'.

And his so-called "young lord" who had a square face, named Zhen Gui, and whose surname was probably "Qi".

They descended from the sky in a large stone chariot pulled by two unicorns, each about thirteen or fourteen zhang long and as thick as a well opening, from the tips of their horns to the tips of their tails.

They told me that a tax called the "tribal protection tax," which existed tens of thousands of years ago, has been reinstated.

I must pay immediately 100,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 150,000 shi of grain and 50,000 shi of meat and fat for food balls.

Oh, and that square-faced young lord also read to me the decree jointly issued by the only two supreme beings currently in power in the human race…”

"My God!" Salissa couldn't help but exclaim.
"You mean that Daqi and the Queen Mother of the West Nixia communicated with you and left a written decree!"

Cai, you've stepped into 'history'!
Since Zhang Gui had developed a mature worldview after transmigrating to this world, he admired the great achievements left in history by the God Kings and Great Sages.

But it is difficult for them to understand and appreciate the reverence that people born and raised in this extraordinary world have for the Supreme Being!

“Sarisa, when we first met, I felt that you were very independent in spirit and did not idolize anyone.”

Even your attitude towards the 'new god Yesaya,' who claims to be the only true god in the Western Continent today, is just so-so…”

"The Supreme One is different, Celestial One, the Supreme One is different!"

Just then, a waiter brought over an ice bucket with two bottles of frozen strawberry liqueur in one hand and a tray full of barware in the other.

Zhang Gui thanked her and sent the girl away.

I opened the bottle, poured Salissa a full glass of sweet wine, and also poured myself a glass.
"We're all a bit too excited, it's best to calm ourselves down with alcohol and sugar."

Phew, just recently, for about five days, sixty hours, or one hundred and twenty hours, I've been busy.

But now I can't even remember what I've been busy with.

Let's both calm down and then have a rational discussion.

“Good idea, Cho, to be honest, I haven’t felt much during the day these past few days.”

But every time I close my eyes at night, I see the demon tearing and dismembering me, my…

Okay, enough said, let's have a drink.

Let's hope this damned 'world of great strife' doesn't get any worse...
