Meet the principal

After bidding farewell to Peter, Reiner inquired all the way to the hotel that Mercury Scale had reserved for himself.

Different from the slightly shabby Black Crow Hotel where Peter stayed, this hotel called the Silver Rose is very grand. The reception hall alone is much larger than the small building of the Black Crow Hotel. The ten-story building is the largest in the group. It stands out among the low-rise buildings with no more than five floors. At first glance, it looks like a hotel that ordinary people cannot afford to stay in.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Reiner quickly felt that the guests here were unusual.

A mage passing by had four gold rings on his sleeves. On the sofa next to the hall, two mages who were discussing were also at the level of the fourth ring. It was obvious that this should be the hotel where mid-level mage stayed.

Someone quickly noticed Reiner, but didn't say much. In the past, there were also low-level mages who paid a lot of money to buy hotel staff and were able to stay in the hotel during the conference. This was considered a high-level "luck".

Of course, there is no way to know how effective this approach will be.

After Liner checked in, he boarded the mechanical elevator controlled by the waiter and arrived at his room on the seventh floor.

It is said to be a hotel room, but in fact it is more like a well-equipped residence. In addition to the huge bedroom, there is also a study room. The living room is bright and spacious. When you open the curtains, you can see Lake Wagner not far away. This area The largest freshwater lake in the southern part of the continent stretches for thousands of miles, sparkling in the afternoon sun. By the lakeside, you can see a luxurious mansion, which is where the annual meeting of the Mercury Scale is held.

"Tomorrow?"

Reiner murmured to himself that so far he didn't know what the adults of Mercury Scale wanted from him as a little principal, but judging from his treatment, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

After repairing for a while, Reiner went downstairs and came to the restaurant on the first floor.

Meals were included in the accommodation, so he naturally chose to have dinner at the hotel.

It was a little early, but there were already many people in the restaurant. Almost without exception, they were all mid-level mages. Reiner noticed that their food was relatively simple. Some people even only had a few slices of bread and a bowl of soup. , it seems that the long-term research life has also made their taste lose the fun it deserves.

Reiner didn't care about this. He ordered a pan-fried cod with lemon sauce, a sweet shrimp and vegetable soup, a grilled beef shoulder, and of course, a filling buttered bread and red wine to go with it.

After ordering, Reiner looked through the menu again and found no Coke option. He was a little regretful, but the dishes that were served quickly made his eyes shine.

Being able to entertain these mid-level mages, the quality of the food inlaid with silver roses is naturally good. The cod meat is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fresh lemon sauce makes it rich in layers. The smell of the sea comes to your face. What's more noteworthy Yes, these cod fish also have reddish cod roe, which explodes in the mouth, bringing an extraordinary taste enjoyment.

The grilled beef shoulder has the smell of flames, is soft and chewy, and the black pepper sauce penetrates into the gaps of the meat, vividly showing the wild taste, performing an opera of meat and fire, with twists and turns. At this moment, the subtle herbs in the sauce just release a different flavor, causing the taste of the entire dish to settle instantly and remain between the lips and teeth, unable to dissipate for a long time.

After eating meat, take another sip of the fresh sweet shrimp and seasonal vegetable soup. The shrimp meat is elastic and mixed with the seasonal vegetables. This is a completely different feeling from the previous two dishes. The light soup flows into the throat, warming up after a hard day. stomach.

The food was delicious, and Reiner was in a good mood, enjoying the food on his plate.

Two mages sat at the table next to him, discussing something, but soon, their actions caught Reiner's attention.

"This is a drink I bought from someone in the south of Astor. It's called Coke. It has a very special taste. I think you must try it.

"

One of the brown-haired men said that the logo on his cuffs indicated that he was a four-ring mage.

"Cola?"

Another man with short reddish hair frowned slightly, obviously uneasy about the bottle of black drink.

"No need to show that expression, when did I lie to you?"

The person holding the Coke lined up two glasses and poured the ice-cold Coke into the glasses.

"The last time I bought the ore for the experiment, the last time the teacher assigned the two of us to do a verification experiment, and the last time we went out to play with Ming Na, and... "

The man with short light red hair counted on his fingers, which made the brown-haired man a little confused. He showed an embarrassed smile and laughed twice to get through.

"Trust me this time, it's definitely worth a try."

The brown-haired man pushed the cup with Coke in front of his friend, then picked up the Coke himself and took a sip.

"Then I will believe you again."

The man with short reddish hair was doubtful until he saw that the brown-haired man had no abnormality after drinking the Coke, and then he took a sip.

He was stunned immediately, just like other people who came into contact with this drink for the first time. It wasn't until the irritating feeling subsided that he came back to his senses and couldn't help but take another sip.

The brown-haired man looked at his companion's reaction proudly and took a sip of Coke into his mouth.

"I'm not wrong. This drink has a different style and can stimulate the spirit. I think if it is introduced to Rainbow Tower, it will definitely make a lot of money."

"This is the first time I think you are right."

After drinking all the Coke in the cup, the man with short reddish hair looked at the empty cup with unfulfilled interest.

The two ordered some more dishes and continued chatting. It seemed that this was the first batch of Coke, and there was no magic card attached. However, seeing their reactions, Reiner also came up with the idea of ​​expanding the Coke business to the entire continent. Relying solely on word of mouth and the franchise of Alchemy Workshop, the expansion speed is still a bit slow. If there is a chance, Reiner would like to contact the higher-ups of Rainbow Tower, the mage center, and spread to the surrounding areas with the city as the center, so that Coca-Cola can truly become popular throughout the continent. .

Of course, all this is just an assumption. He needs more resources. In addition to purchasing periodicals and maintaining the production of cola, the rest of the initial income is planned to be invested in the repair of Crescent College. At least he must keep this college. Schools will not be abolished.

After drinking and eating, Reiner did not go to Peter or wander around the city. Instead, he went directly back to his room. According to the instructions attached to the invitation, the meeting officially started at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and he should be there before that Admission.

Therefore, Reiner went to bed early, the bed inlaid with silver roses was soft and comfortable, and the moonlight reflected on the lake at night, leaving a dazzling starry sky.
