Chapter 1293 The Habits of Nobles

Sitting in the office of the jewelry store, looking at the magic wall clock on the wall, my eyes moved slightly with the second hand, but my mind had already flown to the Phoenix.

Phoenix and the others may be traveling with Emily's team now.

After all, Dasai City has a vast territory, with many mountains and rivers. It is a secluded and deep place that can not only make you happy but also calm your mind. It is simply a paradise for retirement.

If there hadn't been such a mess, I must be eating, drinking, playing and having fun with Phoenix and the others, leisurely and contentedly.

He sighed deeply and expressed deep regret. At the same time, he transferred his resentment to the lending organization: When we catch you bastards, we will definitely pull out your bones and torture you for days and nights before you can relieve your anger.

Just as he was muttering to himself, he heard a knock on the door.

I straightened my bearings, adjusted my sitting posture, and said loudly: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Anna, dressed in formal attire with a natural expression, said: "Store manager, the messenger from the lending organization is here."

"okay, I get it."

I stood up and followed her out. When I reached the corner, I adjusted my expression, changed my previous indifference into one of extreme excitement, and rushed out in big strides.

As soon as I saw that fat face with a sinister eyebrow, I was surprised and panicked at the same time. I said excitedly: "Brother came suddenly, why didn't you notify me in advance?"

The fat boss smiled and said, "Isn't this because I'm afraid of delaying your business?"

"Come, come, please come inside!"

I enthusiastically gathered the fat boss into a special room and grabbed a pot of pretty good tea.

After entering the secret room and pouring some tea, I said, "Brother came unexpectedly today. Did he say that those bastards who beat me yesterday have been found?"

I saw him smiling with a lewd expression, and said, "To tell you the truth, brother, you are blessed!"

"What blessing?" I looked confused.

"I told the boss about the matter yesterday. After hearing this, he was very angry and decided to personally send people to help you vent your anger. Let me tell you, the boss always thinks highly of himself and will never stand up for someone casually. But this time he Making an exception and standing up for you shows how much the boss values ​​you!"

I was overjoyed and said, "Really! That's great, simply great! Then brother, you have to thank the boss for me, and also, help me say a few nice words to the boss."

"You don't need me to do it for you. You should just tell the boss yourself." The fat boss smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that you are lucky? Our boss has decided to meet you in person. Do you understand?"

"Meet me in person?" I was at a loss and said, "Well, what's the point? He is such a great person and wants to see me. I, what should I wear? I won't be embarrassed if I go. I"

"Stop it," the fat boss said, "You don't need anything, you just need people to go and that's it. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." I nodded repeatedly, excitement and uneasiness overflowing at the same time on my face.

"You can pack up later, bring some greeting gifts, and then come with me," the fat boss said.

Naturally, it is better for the meeting gift to be more expensive, but it should not be too expensive, as it will easily lead to suspicion.

Carrying gifts and blindfolding me, I followed the fat boss around all the way and finally stopped. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "We're here, you can take off the blindfold."

I took off my blindfold, squinted my eyes, and looked around.

The light here is not strong, but it is not weak either. There are many people gathered around, but not as many as expected.

After getting used to it for a while, I opened my eyes and suddenly realized that everyone present was looking at me. They were humans, some were beasts, the majority were humans, the minority were beasts, and there were even a few goblins and dwarves.

At this moment, the fat boss was smiling, motioning to me a middle-aged man sitting not far away, and said, "That's our boss."

"Hello, boss!" I bowed first, then hurried forward, handed over the gift, and said, "It's not respectful to be careful."

The middle-aged man took the gift, opened it, took a look at it, and said, "For your trouble."

I kept saying that it should, it should.

The middle-aged man said: "He has already told me everything about you. You have suffered."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, patted my shoulder, and said in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, I will help you seek justice."

"Thank you very much." I bowed hurriedly.

After that, the fat boss began to introduce me to everyone present. There were shop owners, small aristocrats, middle aristocrats, and even those who were called big aristocrats. But at a glance, I could tell that they were just middle aristocrats at most.

These people's shops are widely distributed, reaching half of the city of Balan.

No wonder they dared to challenge the majesty of the New Brave Guild and the Boulder Guild. It turned out that half of Balan City had their people.

At the same time, I felt sad for their wantonness and arrogance. After messing around for a long time, I found that there was not even a decent noble in this stronghold. It was really shabby.

After meeting most of the people, we attended a banquet together. It was called a banquet, but it was just wine mixed with water and a lot of slightly expensive food.

I can say with certainty that the food on any of these food shelves, taken together, is not as expensive as a dish of steamed white fish.

I cut a piece of roasted beef leg and tasted it. It was half-cooked and had a bad taste. It was not the best black beef and tasted slightly worse. But under the watchful eyes of the fat boss, I still had to put on a show of saying, "Wow, It's so delicious' expression.

In order to dilute the salty taste in my mouth, I took two more sips of watered-down wine. As a result, my mouth tasted like an unpleasant wine that was neither salty nor bland.

It was good now. I couldn't get rid of this unpleasant taste no matter what I ate. In the end, I had to resist the urge to spit it out and showed a stiff smile.

The party was finally over, and I felt like I was close to death.

Although I am not a big noble, I often eat with the royal family. Sometimes, I also discuss with the royal family some matters related to the etiquette and habits of the nobles.

Among them, diet is included.

In the eyes of the royal family, the only ones who can be considered nobles are the canonized great nobles. As for the middle and small nobles, they are insignificant in their eyes.

Therefore, I can be sure that no one present is a real noble.

There is another way to judge, and that is wine.

Yes, there may be a certain nobleman who is not picky about the taste of food, but there must be no great nobleman who is not picky about the taste of wine.

After all, wine is one of the most famous drinks in Zefeng Continent!

Many times, wine is no longer a simple drink but a status symbol.

The great nobles must be very concerned about their status. Similarly, they would also be very concerned about the taste and grade of wine.

No matter how valuable wine is before it is mixed with water, it will be worthless after it is mixed with water.

Worthless wine is not worth drinking by a person of status. This is an unspoken rule that has been circulating among the nobles.

This is what Yura once told me at the dinner table.

By the way, Yula's family is a well-known noble in Airui City.
