Chapter 20 Meeting in the Night
Because it is close to the border, the city lord's palace in Leiden City is not as gorgeous as the city lord's palace in other cities. Instead, it pursues the principle of simplicity and practicality as much as possible.
Even the commercial tax revenue of Leiden City is one of the best in the entire Algrant Kingdom.
Of course, this was practical only relative to decoration, and they enjoyed a delicious meal at the hospitality of Bars.
As the first meat he had eaten in another world, Aaron was quite impressed by it, and he did not expect that the quality of the dishes in the other world was unexpectedly good.
He also thought that the dishes from another world were like looking up at the stars.
This meal, in Aaron's words, is an otherworldly version of beef stew with potatoes.
It's just that the beef here is made from a kind of wild wolf meat that is common outside Leiden City, and the potatoes are replaced by another similar ingredient. It has a soft texture and tastes like konjac.
The wild wolf meat has been carefully processed by the chef and stewed very well. It is combined with the unique fragrance of konjac, which completely covers the original sour and fishy smell of the wild wolf meat. The konjac itself is also more flavorful because it is dipped in the broth. .
Even though Aaron came from a country of foodies and had high requirements for the quality of the dishes, he still ate happily and did not pay attention to Alice's eyes that indicated many times - as a noble, it is necessary to maintain table manners.
However, such a reminder is naturally ineffective for a person who does not regard himself as a noble at all.
This kind of meat is a standard meal for Bals, and it is the same for most of the three meals a day, and it is not a special treat for Aaron and others.
Although he emphasized a simple life and was not as extravagant as other city lords and nobles, he still paid more attention to his daily diet. In other words, this was also his personal hobby.
If you have a wall-to-wall physique, you may not necessarily be a foodie, but you will definitely be a foodie.
However, the only price for enjoying delicious food is time. By the time Aaron and the others bid farewell to the Lord of Bals, night had fallen quietly.
The night was dark, and dark clouds silently covered the moonlight, confining all the moonlight in that small patch of darkness.
The interior of the City Lord's Mansion is not brightly lit. On the contrary, the entire City Lord's Mansion is only dotted with torches in scattered places.
At Alice's strong request, several guards held torches to lead Aaron and his party to Tien's room at night.
No one had much opinion on this. Aaron was hoping to take a look at the secret room murder case in another world, while Sartre was concerned about the overflowing cult atmosphere.
According to the Lord of Bals, Tion's death happened a few days ago, and Bals could only protect the scene as much as possible in the past few days and collect relevant materials as soon as possible.
Even though he is a gold-level warrior of the Holy Grail system, most of his abilities are in how to charge into battle. When it comes to how to preserve the aura of the cult, his level may not be as good as a bronze-level Sartre.
If the atmosphere of the cult is allowed to spread, I am afraid that within a few days, the atmosphere of the cult here will dissipate to the point where it cannot be traced.
Sartre didn't know when his junior student Siosande would arrive, so he could only retain as much of the cult aura as possible.
"It's already night, why don't you light the torch?" Aaron couldn't help but ask.
He looked around by the light of the fire, but after all, the light from the torch was limited, and it was difficult to see the full picture of the City Lord's Mansion.
After several turns, he completely lost his sense of direction in the darkness and could only follow the torch step by step.
God knows how these guards knew the direction.
"That's to protect civilians." Alice said solemnly, "to prevent them from seeing things they shouldn't see."
"Aha?"
Aaron was startled, but then he immediately reacted.
The so-called things that should not be seen should refer to extraordinary phenomena.
"Laiden City is the city closest to Badibira in the Kingdom. No one knows how many people will covet it. Every year, there will be one or two intruders who forcibly attack the city lord's palace."
At this point, Alice seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help walking to Aaron's side, and continued to explain: "You are already an extraordinary person, and you should be very clear about the difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people."
Aaron nodded thoughtfully, vaguely grasping some of the characteristics of this plane.
In this world, the difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people is either big or small.
At least for Aaron now, he is basically no different from ordinary people, and ordinary swords can still cause fatal injuries to him.
This is why Alice and Sartre are particularly concerned.
As the so-called black iron of enlightenment, the key lies in the word enlightenment.
The extraordinary person at this time is actually like a child who has just gone to school. They know nothing about extraordinary knowledge and need to continue to learn and understand the extraordinary atmosphere, so that they can finally accept the world of extraordinary atmosphere.
Only when they have enough understanding of the extraordinary aura and have formed a relatively stable understanding can they take the second step, which is to decide their extraordinary direction.
The gold coin system is placed on the soul, the Holy Grail system is placed on external objects, the sword system is placed on the body, and the scepter system is placed on knowledge.
In other words, only when a transcendent reaches the bronze level can he be considered a true transcendent, because until then, they will have some characteristics that transcend ordinary people.
Aaron's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he deliberately lowered his voice and asked Alice: "So, how do you identify whether a person has the potential to become a transcendent?"
His voice was very low, but there was silence all around, except for the slightly chaotic footsteps of people. In such an environment, his voice seemed particularly clear.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the surrounding area was quiet for a moment, almost everyone stopped, and then the sound started up again in unison.
By the light of the torch, Aaron could feel the secret glances of several people. He also saw Alice purse her lips, with a somewhat complicated expression.
She didn't speak, but secretly made a silence gesture to Aaron to signal him not to speak.
Ah, what did I say wrong?
Aaron subconsciously looked at Sartre, but he also saw Sartre looking at him solemnly and shaking his head slightly.
Vaguely, he felt that the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The team walked for a while, and saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more dull. Fortunately, Ed said to Alice: "Miss, Tien's residence is just ahead."
Rather than saying this to Alice, it would be better to say this to Aaron and Sartre.
However, Sartre's attention was not on these words. Instead, he stared thoughtfully at the darkness ahead. He could feel a strong cult atmosphere not far away.
At this time, in the pitch-black night, a squeaking sound suddenly came.
There is a door, open.
