As promised, during the dinner that day, the princess hosted a banquet for Shad in the dining room of Sophia's mansion. The table was covered with silver dishes, and because of this, Xia De got to know more dishes and experienced the extravagant life of the top aristocrats in this era. Compared with dangerous adventures, this is the real "long insight".
The species in this world are very similar to those in his hometown, and the different cooking techniques can also bring him some brand new tastes. The dish that impressed Xia De most was "Lengshuigang ice fish". The stewed fish was put in the hot fish soup, but the belly of the fish was actually frozen cream, and the inside of the frozen cream was caviar.
The combination of cold and warm flavors and the umami of the fish, the unique taste brings out the flavors of fish, cream, caviar and soup to the extreme.
Too bad Shade doesn't like caviar, so didn't like this dish.
Compared with this complex fish dish, Xia De prefers the white bread as a side dish. He has eaten so many breads in this world, and it was only this time that he really tasted the taste of his hometown.
Seeing Xia De's stunned expression by the light of the candlestick, Rezia thought that there was something wrong with the piece of bread, so she immediately asked the maid on the side to check the bread.
Xia De shook his head, so that the maid did not have to come:
"Thank you very much, Rezia."
The princess blinked, not knowing what Xia De meant. But seeing his happy face, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Xia De has always been very secretive.
In the middle of the dinner, a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Delarion Army walked in after knocking on the door. He lowered his head and handed a folded letter to Rezia, then turned his head and left without looking at Xia De from the beginning to the end.
Xia De didn't curiously inquire about other people's affairs, but Leiziya took the initiative to tell Xia De the contents of the letter:
"It's a letter from Tobesk. My father intends to sign a new trade contract with Kasenlik next week, allowing the export of Type III special alloys that were previously controlled. Oh, this special steel is the barrel of a steam cannon And the main material of the super-power steam engine piston, although both countries can manufacture it, but Delarion's craftsmanship is better."
As she spoke, the middle-aged maid, Ms. Hells, who was standing behind Leizia, handed the princess a box of matches. Rezia nodded apologetically to Xia De, stood up and came to the window, the young maid who was standing beside Xia De handed her an empty plate.
Rezia ignited the letter paper in her hand with a lit match, put it on a plate, checked that the letter paper was all burnt to ashes, and then turned and returned to the dining table.
She said nothing, and Shad asked nothing. Having the surname of Cavendish brings more than noble birth, rich wealth and unimaginable power to ordinary people. Xia De understands this kind of thing.
"Thinking about it this way, among the ring magicians I know, only Miss Galina seems to have the most comfortable life."
[But she bears the curse of the witch. 】
"She" reminded Xia De softly in Xia De's ear, Xia De nodded, shaking the grape juice in the wine glass:
"Sure enough, no one's life is perfect. My current life is good enough."
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Xia De, who was all wet, came home. After dinner, Rezia wanted to keep Shad a little longer to discuss the "little match girl", but Shad missed the family cat, and Dorothy was still watching it for him. Home, it is not convenient for him to go back too late.
While walking up the stairs, Dorothy, who heard footsteps, stood on the second floor with Mia in her arms and looked down.
Seeing that Xia De really came back, Mia was extremely excited. She broke free from Miss Writer's hand, and then jumped down the stairs, but when she approached, she found that Xia De was soaked and stood on the higher stairs, hesitating for a while, the cat turned around and went back the same way Returned, and was hugged by the blonde girl who couldn't help laughing:
"Good evening, Shad, look, your cat has no conscience. Oh, tell me, did you swim from your basement to Coldwater Harbor?"
"Guess right."
Xia De wiped his hair with the towel that was placed on the shoe cabinet in advance:
"Have you had dinner?"
"Of course I ate it. Leiziya told me that she will invite you to dinner. Your cat and I can only solve the problem of eating by ourselves."
"Mia is not my cat yet."
Xia De whispered something, and walked into the room on the second floor with Dorothy.
She didn't plan to stay here any longer. The night was getting dark, and after simply packing up her belongings, Dorothy, who was helping to look after the house, was about to leave.
But before leaving, she said one more thing:
"Do you know what Littleia likes to do when you leave her alone in the house?"
"Probably sleeping on the sofa?"
Shad guessed.
"No no, it acted strangely when I was at your house today."
The two stood in the hall downstairs, and Shad was about to send Dorothy away before going to the bath.
"What happened to it?"
"Is it possible to fly suddenly? Talk suddenly? Or suddenly have some extraordinary ability?"
He hadn't forgotten that this cat had once absorbed the power of divinity.
"Of course not, why do you think so? Mia likes to go to Room 2 on the second floor."
That is to say, the room where mass suicides once occurred, but no furniture has been placed yet.
"I don't know what it wants to do. After following it in, I can only see it sniffing around..."
Goldilocks lowered her voice:
"Xia De, you don't have a mouse hole in your house, do you?"
"Absolutely impossible. My kitchen can't even support Mia and I. How can we keep mice? And, Dorothy, do you really think that timid cat has the courage to go to trouble with mice?"
Dorothy thought for a while and laughed too:
"Then it's no problem, oh, when will you go to find Rezia next time, have you made an agreement with her?"
"I'll go again on Monday. There's nothing for me to do right now. I'm still short of 15 credits. Even if I defeat the evil **** in Lengshuigang, I won't get a single point."
It's Wednesday night, two and a half days until Saturday afternoon. Xia De wasn't particularly flustered. Priest Augustus invited him to go on an adventure together tomorrow, and Iluna was coming back. As long as he completely contained a relic of clerical level or above, and then paid for the mercury vial, 15 credits would be enough.
If it doesn't work, he can even ask Miss Galina for help, the generous Duchess will definitely be happy to help.
In this way, on Thursday, Xia De woke up half an hour earlier than usual. When he got out of bed, he woke up the cat sleeping in a ball next to the pillow, which made him very dissatisfied.
Today is the day when Iluna returned from the Holy See of the Church of the Sun. The brave performance of the girl with long brown hair in Tobesk's night of divine descent proved her identity as the chosen one. Returning to the Holy See this time, one is to accept the reward, and the other is to talk to her about the chosen ones with the old gentlemen stationed in the Holy See.
The train was expected to arrive at Tobesk station at seven thirty in the morning, but since trains in this era were never on time, Shad decided to leave earlier.
He hurriedly finished his breakfast. Seeing that the punctual cat hadn't woken up yet, he put the cat food and goat's milk beside the dining table and asked Mia to eat it straight away. Then he grabbed the newspaper and coat and hurried out the door.
It only rained for half a day in Tobesk yesterday, and even the road was completely dry this morning. Today is the first day of August. It was the end of June when Xia De came to this world. June is called the Moon of Sunshine, and the following July is called the Moon of Thunder, because the rain in July is relatively heavy. many. August also has a nice name, which is the moon of flowers.
This is the middle month of the year and the last month of summer. The flowers will bloom most vigorously in August, and there are celebrations and customs in various places in the Old World.
Of course, you can't see it in the city.
It was only 6:20 when we went out, but sitting in the carriage and looking out with a newspaper, the city was already buzzing. The low-level citizens who are running around to support themselves and their families are not used to enjoying the morning like Xia De, who has flexible working hours. In this progressive and crazy era, most of the achievements are actually achieved by these people who are used to seeing the city at five or six in the morning.
The carriage passed the street where Shad was shot half a month ago, and put Shad at the gate of Tobesk Station. Xia De stood at the gate of the post office next to the station and waited for a while, when the purple-eyed fortune-teller also arrived.
"Good morning, Shad!"
Hearing the voice of greeting, Xia De put down the newspaper in his hand and walked over with a smile.
"Any big news in the paper?"
Luvia seems to be in a good mood today~www.mtlnovel.com~ I can't see the sequelae left by the divination the day before yesterday.
"There's not much news in the papers. Mr. Mayor's speech, some road closures in the southeastern suburbs of Tobeysk for repairs, the Church of Peace calling for poetry for Armistice Day . . . but there's news in Coldwater Harbor."
He raised his eyebrows.
"Is it related to seafood?"
Luvia asked, and Xia De pointed to the street-side restaurant that was already open:
"We can go here and talk, this is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences."
When Iluna comes back from the Holy See, her friends from the ring warlock team will also come to pick her up, so Shade and Luvia have already made an appointment with Iluna. Meet at the restaurant facing the street.
Taking advantage of the waiting time and the leisure time in the early morning, the outsider and the fortune-teller sat at the table by the window and talked about Shad's experience in Coldwater Harbor yesterday. Although the city is still foggy, the weather is quite good compared to the rain. Luvia listened carefully to Xia De's speech, until at 7:20, a lot of people with luggage rushed out from the gate of the station.
The two looked out the window together:
"The train is here ahead of schedule!"
