Chapter 272 Banquet and Complaints
The architectural style of the hotel banquet hall is very grand. The architectural layout and indoor vegetation make the entire floor an indoor park.
In addition to the dance floor, garden, fountain, and bath, there is even a swimming pool for deep diving, which integrates dining and entertainment. Even if you walk here for a few days, you will not feel bored and depressed.
There are no big speeches, no deliberately emphasized etiquette, and young people from all over the world with different customs are brought here. It is like a "blind date" between humans and demons.
Of course, this kind of activity involving a certain group nature is also inseparable from the division of class and superiority.
For example, Taibesha belongs to the high-quality class, while Mu Hua is relatively uncompetitive.
For example, demons who dress freely also belong to the high-quality class, while demons in waiter costumes are a lower-level choice.
I don't know what the organizers intend to do, but this kind of differential treatment at least makes Mu Hua uncomfortable. Among the human group, the proportion of "losers" who are equipped with monotonous white masks like Mu Hua seems to be quite high.
"Hey, man, are you giving up on yourself? If you keep eating like this, Wendy will be scared away." At a table with a view of the archery range, facing Mu Hua who was eating stewed meat, Dick fiddled with the steak on the plate and said.
"Haha, Mr. Dick, Mr. Mu Hua eats food cooked by high-level monsters. This appetite means that he has a very strong digestive ability, which will not scare us away." A demon maid standing next to Mu Hua said with a smile.
Taibesha was approached by a demon named Barbara, while Mu Hua was wandering around the banquet hall alone. He did not receive the same treatment as Taibesha. Apart from some polite greetings, no demon took the initiative to approach him to communicate.
Incomplete alchemy is the selling point of Mu Hua's information, but this world also has the saying that "enchantment makes you poor for three generations, and alchemy ruins your life", so Mu Hua lacks some competitiveness.
During this period, he met several young people who were in similar situations. Several of them gathered together, while others went to find demons to strike up a conversation. Dick, who was in front of him, stayed with Mu Hua after failing to strike up a conversation several times.
Mu Hua, who has the physical characteristics of the Minotaur, has a physique far from reaching the limit of natural growth.
Although he is limited by the amount of food he eats and the efficiency of effective nutrient absorption, for him, eating high-quality food at the right time can also gain attribute growth.
When he found that the food at the banquet was all high-quality ingredients, Mu Hua simply found a table and ate it.
As a dining spot, because there were not many people at this dining spot for the time being, Dick and Mu Hua were accompanied by a demon waitress who was similar to a waiter. The two women accompanied Dick and Mu Hua, and served tea and water from time to time.
"You didn't scare him away, but you didn't want to sign a contract with us?" Wendy refuted Dick's ridicule of Mu Hua, and Dick said uninterestedly.
"Attending the Demon Night Banquet is an obligation for us. Fitz and I both have our crushes. If you want to find a follower, you should go around more and try to communicate with the waiters walking around." Wendy smiled at Dick.
Wendy is more outgoing, while Fitz is more indifferent. It's not that they have a follower they want to follow. Alan belongs to an independent country, and most of the citizens here are ordinary humans.
In short, the two girls have boyfriends in Alan. Even if they want to become followers, they must sign a contract with their boyfriends.
"Why don't you sign a contract as soon as possible? Aren't you afraid?" Mu Hua asked curiously after swallowing a piece of stewed meat.
"Three months before the Demon Night Banquet, we are not allowed to sign a contract with our own citizens. Three months ago, we failed to sign a contract, so we can only come to the Demon Night Banquet." Wendy explained.
"Three months? No one awakened their bloodline during this period? What if it gets out of control?" Mu Hua questioned.
"There is no way. Leaving Alan is the national policy of the demon clan and also the fate of the demon clan." Wendy said calmly.
"This can't be considered fate." Mu Hua looked at Dick, and when he muttered, Dick shrugged and agreed.
"Hehe, different countries have different customs. For example, our Principality of Stania, the founding king laid a courtyard in the principality, thus laying the foundation of the Principality of Stania."
"But the king's brain circuit is strange. Now animal ears are the traditional accessories of Stania. The standard maid uniform is a bunny girl costume, and the male servant's clothing is also a tights."
"Alas~~" Dick sighed, and a very strange picture flashed through Mu Hua's mind, and his eyes twitched.
There are many countries on the three main stars of the Federation, and there are also many human countries in the courtyards all over the world. There are really many countries with strange customs among them.
Some weird customs can be understood as the founders' recklessness. No, they can't be understood as such. Some are really the founders' recklessness. Not to mention bunny girls and maids, there are even people who use pajamas, big pants, bikinis and the like as formal dresses.
And those weird customs are usually set by guys who are adventurers, especially in some kingdoms in courtyards. The relatively closed environment makes many weird customs taken for granted in the people's cognition.
It is not difficult to see the wantonness and unscrupulousness of those adventurers. . .
"So, hey~, try to find a good girl." Mu Hua shook his head to get rid of the weird picture in his mind, and said to Dick sympathetically.
"Hehe, I guess the girls don't want to go to Stania either." Fitz rarely spoke, showing a very reluctant smile.
It is not necessary to wear tights to become a dependent and go to the Principality of Stania, but to be able to attend the demon night banquet, I think Dick should have a certain family background in Stania.
The appearance of the demon is obvious. As Dick's dependent, he is a servant. As for the dress... Tsk, not wearing traditional clothes is a kind of unruly and impolite behavior.
That's right, in Stania, bunny girls are not fun, but etiquette, but this etiquette is a complete social humiliation in the eyes of outsiders. This is probably the main reason why Dick has no market at the banquet.
"Hi~ Mu Hua, Dick." A girl and a demon youth also came to the meal. The two sat at a table not far away. The girl smiled and greeted Dick and Mu Hua.
This girl was also invited to the night banquet. She had communicated with Mu Hua and Dick earlier. Looking at the atmosphere between her and the demon youth, the two should have confirmed the intention of the contract.
"Alas~ I also think that the girls will not like Stania. You also saw the ghost expression when they looked at me." Dick waved to the girl and said weakly.
"Hehe... Wendy, please help me get another stew, and bring some of that Didika fruit wine." Mu Hua didn't know what to say about Dick's strange situation. He forced a smile and said to Wendy.
"You still want to eat? There is no entrance fee for the demon night banquet. Are you going to eat back the money for the plane ticket?" Wendy rolled her eyes at Mu Hua and said teasingly.
"Level 8 monster meat, it seems to have dragon beast bloodline, you should eat more." Mu Hua said with a smile.
"We haven't awakened our bloodline, so it's a waste to eat it, and the taste of this meat is not very good. I really don't know why you like to eat this." Wendy shook her head, turned around and left, and helped Mu Hua get food.
"Speaking of which, your physique is quite different from theirs." Wendy left, and Mu Hua looked at several demons shooting arrows in the shooting range in the distance, and said to Fitz beside him.
"After the demon bloodline awakens, their own growth will increase significantly to varying degrees. For a period of time, they will feed on powerful monsters. The flesh and blood of those monsters are simply the essence of monsters to them. Naturally, we can't compare with them." Fitz explained.
"It's the same, and it's the same after you awaken." Mu Hua said with a smile.
His situation is somewhat similar to those demons. The awakening of demons is probably equivalent to obtaining the physique of demons, while he directly plundered the life characteristics of Minotaur.
"That's different. The demons who awaken earlier will be supported by the tribe and can choose better contractors later. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you."
When refuting, Fitz suddenly realized that his words were inappropriate, stopped the topic, and apologized to Mu Hua and the others.
"It's okay, starting high, one step higher, step by step higher." Mu Hua smiled and waved his hand. Dick's personality was also good, and he didn't seem to mind Fitz's words.
After a while, Wendy brought food to Mu Hua, and the few of them chatted casually. The girl who greeted Mu Hua and the others earlier ate something, and when they left, the demon youth who was traveling with them had followed her like a waiter.
Seemingly stimulated by the girl, Dick started to complain about his country endlessly, while Mu Hua received a call from Tabitha.
"Cousin, where are you? Have you found your partner?"
"No, I'm at the restaurant near the shooting range. Yes, the archery range."
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll find you."
"Oh, you're not going to hang out for long? Won't anyone pay attention to me if you come over?"
"Barbara is going to sign a contract with me. Her sister is also coming to the banquet. Wait a minute, I'll go over and talk." After a brief exchange, Tabitha hung up the phone. (End of this chapter)
