29. Start of the line

 Andrew was not in a good mood in the morning.

After all, his father was not willing to listen to his own ideas.

His father had guessed his plan early, calculated the date of his return, and arranged the evening banquet in advance.

At that time, all the unmarried noble children in the royal city will arrive, and even a few feudal lords will make the direct descendants living in the royal city a rare activity.

Since the Turner family provided the venue, Andrew, as the eldest son of the family, could not escape it no matter what.

Being able to provide a place for so many young people in the kingdom to socialize and talk, the Turner family as a viscount can be said to have unlimited glory.

Old Andrew spent a lot of money, and the servants and slaves in the family began to decorate the manor before Andrew came back. The ballroom converted from the reception room was even more magnificent.

Not every family can have the opportunity to become the center of conversation within aristocratic circles, but whenever they encounter such an opportunity, they must work hard to seize it.

But Andrew didn't catch a cold. He was really not interested in dancing on the dance floor and admiring the beauty that made people's blood surge under the warm yellow light cast by the chandelier.

He was convinced that he was a functioning man.

It takes ten and a half days to return to the camp after rushing to the east. Even if he sees the ordinary-looking, even overly "heroic" female knights in the logistics department, he will have a reaction.

But when he returned to the royal city, he was indifferent to the beautiful girl.

He wanted to learn magic quietly, and he wanted to pick up magic tools in his study and transform the dolls.

Instead of following a group of canaries wearing masks and playing you test me, I test you, everyone treats testing as a fun little game.

After gathering all the silver coins at his disposal, Andrew left home again without explaining to his family.

It was already noon when he arrived at Lu Yu's rented residence, and Andrew smelled an alluring aroma of meat before he even entered the door.

Andrew, who had only eaten a few bites of bread in the morning, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

After knocking on the door for a long time, the door was opened.

It was not Lu Yu who opened the door. A girl with silver hair and a ponytail appeared in front of Andrew wearing a white apron.

The girl's skin color is very strange. This light gray color with a little bit of brownish red should be a demi-human?

The girl did not inform, but openly planned to introduce Andrew into the house, which made Andrew quite dissatisfied.

"As a servant, how can you make the decision without permission? Please inform me first."

The girl smiled and said, "My master has known for a long time that you are coming, so he told me to just let you go."

Andrew's face brightened slightly, and he followed the other person into the house.

But the further he walked, the more Andrew felt something was wrong. This direction...is the kitchen?

When he entered the kitchen, Andrew's mouth opened slightly in surprise.

I saw Lu Yu smashing pieces of garlic with a kitchen knife and mincing it into minced garlic.

I don't know what is being stewed in the pot, but it is exuding an increasingly alluring aroma.

Andrew rarely goes into the kitchen, let alone cooks.

At this moment, seeing a nobleman busy among the stove and kitchen utensils, an unreal feeling arises spontaneously.

"You can pretend to be a noble."

Master's words suddenly echoed in my mind.

Andrew put a cloth bag in his hand on the table, and the sound of metal collision made Sigrid's eyes light up.

"Your Excellency Lu Yu, there are seventy silver coins here, which is all the property I currently have."

"If you need more, I can ask the servants to bring the remaining copper coins when I get home."

Lu Yu, who was cooking, was in the final step of pouring oil on the garlic beef.

Pour boiling hot oil on the minced garlic to bring out the aroma of garlic and meat to the maximum extent.

Sigrid wiped her saliva with the back of her hand

Andrew gritted his teeth reservedly, unwilling to show any flaws in his demeanor.

Lu Yu sat down with a large plate of garlic beef, and suddenly realized when he saw Andrew still looking directly at him.

"Sigrid, give Viscount Andrew the dishes."

After giving the order, he asked: "Your Majesty, Viscount, have you eaten? If not, why don't you order some together?"

Andrew took a step forward. He immediately remembered the purpose of coming here today and quickly stopped.

"Please check first to see if you are satisfied with the amount."

"Boring." Lu Yu clicked his tongue and asked Sigrid, who brought Andrew the bowls and chopsticks, to count the silver coins on the spot.

Seventy coins, many of them, are all brand-new silver coins issued by the Kingdom of Yas. They have a high market circulation rate and are easy to exchange.

Andrew looked at Lu Yu nervously. He was worried that these would not satisfy Lu Yu's appetite.

At this stage, he does not want to ask for money from his family, but if he opens this door, he will not be able to be tough on his father.

Seeing Lu Yu motioning for Sigrid to put it away and taking out his sword and puppet, Andrew felt relieved.

After getting the things, Andrew wanted to leave directly. At this time, the words of Master Old Drake began to echo again in his mind.

Seeing Lu Yu sitting at the same table with his servants for dinner, this doubt was aroused to the maximum.

In their country, servants are not qualified to eat with their masters.

The abnormal behavior made Andrew more and more convinced that what his master said was true.

"He will take out a map and trick you into buying it."

But now that he had made the move to leave, why didn't Lu Yu react?

Weird.

He deliberately squatted down and examined the doll as if he remembered something.

So fragrant…

How come it smells so good?

As Lu Yu took out a new pot of food from the stew pot, the room was once again flooded with fragrance.

When Lu Yu and Sigrid ate with two strange wooden sticks, they would always hit the rim of the bowl.

Just listening to the "ta-da" sound, Andrew could imagine the rice entering his mouth.

The sound of chewing became much louder for no reason, and Andrew salivated like crazy just listening to the sound.

The two people seemed to be completely unaware of their presence as they discussed food with each other.

"Master, this tomato beef brisket should be enough for two meals today, right?"

"I made some extra this time. I'll buy some good noodles and noodles tomorrow and I'll feed them to you later."

"Oh, I forgot to add some chili pepper to the garlic beef. Let's eat it carefully today. It's fragrant enough anyway."

Andrew, who had been squatting on the ground for a long time, had no choice but to stand up. He deliberately took two steps with force. After realizing that neither Lu Yu nor Sigrid had any intention of staying, he had to put down his things and return to the kitchen.

Seeing Andrew go and come back, Lu Yu was stunned for a while.

"The Viscount really wants to eat something."

Andrew was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush, so he simply said it straight to the point.

"Your Excellency Lu Yu, are you really a noble?"

"Which country will I be ennobled to?"

"Can you tell me the level of your title?"

"Do you have a territory?"

"What are the special items of the land that raised you?"

"You traveled a long way, what did you see?"

"Do you have any travel notes?"

"How many countries and regions does it pass through?"

"Is the Monster Manual written?"

"Where's the cartography?"

"Since you are a magician, what level is it?"

"If there is a specialization path, which branch is it? Do you mind showing me a little bit?"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe he is not born to play intrigue, which is why he is so tired of those gorgeously dressed canaries.

Their melodious and melodious songs were all filled with falsehood, which was totally different from him, a person who preferred to treat others sincerely.

The question has been raised, and now we are waiting for Lu Yu to answer it.

A liar cannot make up answers to so many questions in a short period of time.

Even if he is prepared, these made-up answers will leave holes that can be questioned.

I, Andrew Turner, will unmask a liar for the people of the Royal City!

Seeing the righteous words and the confident Andrew looking at him with sharp eyes, Lu Yu's first reaction was that this kid had become enlightened overnight.

But...

"Someone gave me some advice from behind and sent him to confront me."

Andrew finally revealed the news of his existence.

However, Lu Yu wasn't too panicked. From the beginning, he didn't think that the identity he made up would be so smooth that no one would question it.

There are many people in this world who eat more rice than you eat salt. Their age gives them a vision and experience that cannot be compared to Lu Yu, who just came to this world and is relatively young.

Thinking that everyone is mentally retarded and thinking that adding a bunch of labels to one identity can lead to a peaceful life is irresponsible to oneself.

He was never afraid of being questioned, on the contrary... he welcomed people to question him.

As long as someone questions, and the person questioning is a well-known figure, after passing this test, it is equivalent to getting a safe pass, and no one will doubt his identity in the future.

Now, Lu Yu only hopes that the person who made Andrew learn to question has a nobler status.

Even if it's not his father, he should be someone with a name.

Sigrid put down the dishes and chopsticks at the signal from Lu Yu's eyes and glared at Andrew.

"Are you questioning the identity of my master?"

Andrew chuckled.

"Ms. Sigrid, as a servant, how dare you to attack a noble person without your master's permission?"

"Don't tell me that in your country, servants can bypass their masters?"

"Your Excellency Lu Yu, do you know that in the Kingdom of Yas, if a servant collides with a noble, the master will personally punish him?"

Sigrid froze. She acted according to the script Lu Yu had arranged for her before.

Master, is there something wrong with this script?

Or should I be punished and trigger the next stage of dialogue?

Lu Yu slowly picked up a piece of thinly sliced ​​beef and put it into his bowl.

He raised his head and looked at Andrew calmly.

"In my country, as a rule, you shouldn't talk about so many irrelevant business matters while eating."

"So I try not to get angry when eating. When I should be angry or say what I should say, I naturally let my servants do it."

"If you want me to answer anything, wait until I finish eating."

"If you think I'm stalling for time, you can flip the table."

"If you think I'm evading, you can confront Sigrid first and argue for a while."

"Of course, if you are hungry, you can sit down and eat... By the way, although I mentioned the option of lifting the table, but..."

"In my country, there is a saying that food is the most important thing for the people. Therefore, it is an act of betrayal to lift the table when others are eating."
