I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 167 Keeping an Appointment

Lancelot ran all the way down the mountain, and when he arrived at the door of Pasha's Tavern out of breath, it was almost dark.

"Lancelot, you are here!"

Lilith, who had been waiting at the door for more than an hour, saw the boy's figure and quickly waved to him excitedly.

"Sorry, Lilith, I was delayed by something this afternoon."

Lancelot walked up to Lilith and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's okay, Lancelot." The girl said, taking the initiative to hold Lancelot's hand and pulling the boy towards the tavern.

The moment Lancelot touched the girl's finger, the soft and smooth texture made him feel a throbbing feeling in his heart.

“Welcome to Pasha’s Tavern!”

The two walked into the tavern, and Lampard led two hot maids to greet them, obviously specifically to welcome the boy's arrival.

There is a wall lamp on each stone pillar in the tavern, as well as on each dining table. Although the restaurant cannot see the shadow of the guests, you can still feel the warm atmosphere.

Lancelot showed a friendly smile and said to Lampard: "How are you, Lampard."

"Lancelot, it's a pleasure to see you again." Lampard bowed slightly to the boy and then made a gesture of invitation.

So, Lancelot and Lilith sat at a dining table near the middle. The boy saw that the dark brown tabletop had been wiped spotless, and the candlesticks were also replaced with new candles.

The two hot maids have now stood back in front of the arch on the left side. After all, the underground Fengyue place is the main business of Pasha Tavern.

Lancelot did not see Mrs. Pasha, so she must be receiving guests underground.

"Lancelot, Miss Lilith, what do you want to eat?" Lampard politely stood aside and asked the two of them.

Lilith shook her head and smiled: "Lancelot, you are a guest, you decide the menu."

"Well" Lancelot, who was sitting across the dining table, stared blankly at Lilith's beautiful face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Lancelot?" Lilith was a little shy at the boy's eyes, and tapped the table with her fingers.

"Ah, I'm sorry I was distracted." Lancelot smiled awkwardly and quickly found an excuse to pass by.

"Lampard, how about it be the same as last time?"

Lampard was slightly startled and responded: "Are you talking about the last time you came here with Sir Harvey?"

"That's right." Lancelot nodded and glanced guiltily at Lilith opposite.

Lampard looked at the girl with inquiring eyes and asked: "Miss Lilith, is this okay?"

"Of course." Lilith showed a cute smile.

"Okay, let's do it now." Lampard said and turned to leave.

"Wait, Lampard." Lancelot suddenly shouted.

"Lancelot, is there anything else you can do?"

Lampard turned to look at the boy in confusion, his gray hair showing a faint golden color under the candlelight.

"It's so late, do you still want to do it now?"

Lampard showed a decent smile and agreed: "Food naturally has to be freshly cooked to be more delicious."

Lancelot was silent for a second, then stood up.

"No need to trouble you, Lilith and I can just eat whatever we want. I happen to know how to cook."

"Well, this is not good." Lampard glanced at Lilith on the seat. The girl was also surprised, obviously she did not expect this to happen.

"Lancelot, are you serious?" Lilith also stood up, her white skirt swaying slightly with her body movements.

Lancelot smiled and nodded: "Lilith, do you want to come with me?"

The boy was withdrawn and introverted in his previous life, and did not like to trouble others to do anything for him. When he saw the white-haired Lampard, it seemed to evoke some emotions from his previous life, so he took action like this.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

Lancelot wanted to take this opportunity to see what ingredients were in the kitchen and see if he would see anything that did not belong to ancient times. He had already begun to have doubts about the civilization of this era.

The sentence he saw in front of the bookshelf on the third floor of the castle in the evening always bothered Lancelot. He began to suspect that the things around him, including the entire environment he was in, might be just an illusion.

Lancelot couldn't help but think about it, and wondered whether the continent of Sebion had entered the age of steam or even the age of electricity, but Blackthorn's level of civilization was still at the level of ancient Rome.

He had also heard Harvey mention the Free Land Alliance. Chaos and disorder might be the reason for the long-term stagnation of civilization.

Even in the wizarding world, Lancelot has been to only a handful of places:

Tucker Town, Magic Forest, Rhine City

The scope of activities in Rhine City is also limited to the Wizarding Academy, and there is no chance to see other areas at all.

Looking at it this way, although Lancelot has been in the wizarding world for three and a half years, the area he has set foot in is only the size of a palm compared to the vast continent of Cordia.

After traveling to the continent of Sabian, he stayed in Blackthorn all the time, and was limited to the Blackthorn Arena and the mountain castle.

Regarding the watersheds of various kingdoms outside his field of vision, Lancelot had never seen its appearance.

Although there are no detailed records in that chronicle, the occurrence of various major events must have created many new things.

Thinking of this, a ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Lancelot's mind:

In the Middle Ages, knights, dragons, elves, magic, and dwarves form a magnificent fantasy world;

The industrial steam civilization society with strong Victorian style is called steampunk;

The future world composed of keywords such as bionics, network, machinery, dystopia, and low life is what we call cyberpunk;

However, if these several civilizations exist in the same time and space at the same time, what should they be called?

There is no doubt that such a hodgepodge era means endless chaos, but it is also full of opportunities.

Of course, these are just imaginative guesses. Currently, Lancelot has not found any evidence that can be used as a reference.

Seeing this, Lampard glanced at Lilith again, and the girl nodded in agreement.

He had no choice but to shrug helplessly, and then walked towards the kitchen on the right side of the tavern with Lilith and Lancelot.

Lilith looked at the boy midway and found that the boy was a little absent-minded.

At this time, Lancelot was still thinking about that bold idea. Faintly, a cold mechanical whisper seemed to sound in his ears:

"The continent of Sebion, which has experienced the Great Steel Age, has broken free from the shackles of the times and is moving towards a new civilization. The power of steam engines, magic, and heraldry will accompany us."
