Chapter 760 You Came Here Specifically to Stop Me From Eating, Right?
How powerful is gunpowder?
I haven't seen it with my own eyes, at least, not on earth, not counting firecrackers.
This time, in Dashai City, I finally had the honor to see the power of gunpowder.
That's really a very scary force.
Just a dozen balls the size of tennis balls, in an instant, can blast the ground into a large oval pit with a radius of three meters and a depth of more than one meter!
While I was dumbfounded, I heard a sneer from the members of the goblin assistance team. I turned around and saw that their eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.
"My friends, can you tell me the reason for your displeasure?" the city lord said sincerely.
The members of the goblin assistance team did not speak, but all looked at me.
I shrugged and made a 'please' gesture.
The team leader said: "Dear Lord City Lord, the reason why we are dissatisfied is not because of your hospitality, but because the performance of your students has greatly disappointed us!"
"My students?" The city lord looked at the martial arts field and said, "I think their performance is very good. The power of the explosives is very powerful, even far beyond my imagination."
"No, it's not enough," the team leader said seriously, "It's far from enough!"
As he spoke, he looked at me again, his eyes full of expectation.
"Uh" To be honest, I'm confused, you can do whatever you want, why does Mao always have to look at me? Are there flowers on my face? Or do I look like a flower?
In desperation, I had no choice but to spread my hands and make a 'please' gesture again.
The leader whispered excitedly, then raised his arms, and all the members of the goblin assistance team stood up from their seats, formed two teams, and followed him into the martial arts venue.
The city lord smiled slightly and said to me: "An Xiaoyi, you are very prestigious among the goblins."
I scratched my head and said distressedly: "It's okay, that's all."
"I have never seen goblins respect humans so much, and you are the first," the city lord praised.
I laughed dryly and didn't answer.
"When you have time, can you tell me the story between you and the goblins?" The city lord said, "I'm very interested."
"This." I paused and said, "Please forgive me for refusing, because that story is really, really boring, and it also involves some personal aspects. Well, you know, it's privacy. That kind of thing.”
"Haha, I know." He smiled, not angry or hiding anything, just a very peaceful smile.
The city lord of Dashai City is really broad-minded, if his smile is the same as his heart.
This was the first time I saw the goblins designing gunpowder with my own eyes. Their skills were so proficient that they completed all the steps in less than one-fifth of the time of the orcs.
Arranging the spherical metal containers neatly, they pulled out the leads and hid in the bunker.
After the bell rang, a huge explosion resounded throughout the martial arts arena.
The smoke dissipated, and a huge crater four to five meters deep and with a radius of seven to eight meters appeared.
The same materials and containers with the same capacity actually exploded with different powers. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed it.
The leader inspected the pit, nodded with satisfaction, and led the team, which was rearranged into two rows, back to the auditorium neatly.
They first saluted me, and then said to the city lord: "Your Majesty, city lord, please take a look."
The city lord stood up and nodded slightly at the team leader: "My respected friends, you are right. Compared with your skills, my students are indeed nothing."
His words made the orc students present very discouraged and they all lowered their heads.
"However," he continued: "I believe in the learning ability of my students, and I also believe that they will definitely progress in your direction."
Two words ignited the hope of the orc students, and their eyes were filled with light again, like relit torches.
"I hope it's what you said." The goblin leader lowered his head and said, "After all, they are also my students. They have not reached our level. To a certain extent, it is also our dereliction of duty."
"Please don't blame yourself," the city owner's wife said: "My husband and I have seen your efforts and the results that surprised us. We are very satisfied. Thank you, thank you."
The two teams thanked each other endlessly, which made me a little tired of hearing it. Finally, the city lord said: "Tonight, I will hold a celebration banquet to thank you for your hard teaching over the past few days, as well as the hard work of my students. "
The city lord said to them, but his eyes looked at me.
To be honest, I am very resistant to this kind of boring banquet, especially now that I am eager to return home, and I can't wait to return to Moonlight City as soon as possible to reunite with my family.
Moreover, Yang Jiu and his friends and I set a time limit of one week. The longer it is delayed, the more compensation we will give to Yang Jiu and his friends.
That’s all money!
I feel bad!
I said that, but in fact, I still couldn't refuse the city lord's invitation, especially after I told the story when I got home, Phoenix and Cagalli suggested that I attend the banquet.
Although they said that no one would accompany me, they planned to lie down at home and chat.
I really can't understand the girls' thoughts. What's so fun about chatting? Is it really fun to be banqueted?
Especially since this banquet was held in the palace, there must be a lot of delicious food, and the supply was unlimited.
Thinking of this, my foodie mentality began to swell.
Sure enough, the moment he entered the banquet hall, a dazzling variety of delicacies abounded.
However, we were not allowed to move our chopsticks until the city lord finished his opening speech.
So, I had to hold the dinner plate, hold the fork, stare at the delicious food around me, and swallow my saliva.
For this delicious meal, I didn't even eat dinner. My stomach was already growling.
I originally thought that the speech of the Lord of Dashai City would not be very long. However, the reality directly shattered my fantasy - the opening speech was not only long, it was no different from giving a report at a meeting!
For a moment, I turned my head and looked at the steaks and chicken legs on the table, and my eyes shone.
The long opening speech finally came to an end and the banquet finally began. I rushed directly to a table of barbecued meats and ate them to my heart's content.
It was obvious that my behavior was different from the polite manners of others, and soon I became the center of attention.
But fortunately, I have a thick skin, thicker than a city wall, so I can continue to eat delicious barbecue and bacon in peace.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after I had eaten, the city lord came to my side and talked to me with a smile on his face.
That kind smile, that friendly expression.
No matter how I look at it, I feel ferocious - you must have come here specifically to stop me from eating!
