Lulutis said that many nobles living in the kingdom's capital are not very fond of talking to others.
The specific manifestation is that everyone likes to hide their true purpose in some fragmented topics, and then gradually piece together the information they need through the other party's answers.
In this environment, everyone's politeness and politeness seem very hypocritical.
Old Drake didn't want to talk about tea at all. He cared more about Lu Yu or the stories he told.
Knowing this, Lu Yu did not intend to continue the conversation on the topic of tea. Although he could list a large number of famous tea names, these would not win Old Drake's trust, and he might keep asking him about the details.
On the premise that he has doubts, if he fails to answer any link, he will not think that you do not know enough about this aspect, but will have the idea that the story of a liar cannot be continued.
"Senior Drake should not just come to me to drink tea and chat."
"Save the tedious temptations, boring routines and calculations. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Old Drake didn't expect Lu Yu to be so direct, but he wasn't too surprised after seeing countless people.
With a polite smile on his face, Old Drake revealed the theme of today.
"To verify the identity of foreign nobles and recognize that they have some rights in the Kingdom of Yas that are equivalent to those of domestic nobles, the nobles need to temporarily form a review tribunal and have a duke appear to witness it. The process is cumbersome and not very friendly to you."
Lu Yu said: "Please tell me the key points."
"I can help you avoid this tedious process."
Lu Yu smiled, picked up the tea cup and took another sip of the tea brought by Old Drake.
This tea is starting to taste a little better now.
"Are you a review court?"
"No, I can only vouch for you through the recommendation of the court magician. The premise is that you are a magician, or a capable adventurer with exquisite martial arts skills."
"With my presence, the review court will only be a formality, and your noble status will be recognized by everyone in the Kingdom of Yas more quickly."
"Sounds very convenient..." Lu Yu put down his tea cup and leaned his chair towards Old Drake, "So what does it cost?"
"This thank you gift shouldn't be cheap, right?"
Old Drake glanced at Andrew beside him. Andrew immediately understood, got up and walked out of the living room.
Sigrid also left the scene under the signal from Lu Yu’s eyes.
Only Lulutis, who was quietly lurking, remained not far from Lu Yu, guarding against any unusual behavior by the old Drake.
When there was no one else in the room, Old Drake continued: "After verifying your identity, I hope you can take a look at the three maps the Marquis showed to Andrew."
Old Drake continued: "Of course, I won't ask for it for nothing."
Having said this, Lu Yu thought about it.
After hearing Andrew's description, Old Drake already believed a little about Lu Yu's identity as a marquis and his travel experience.
At the same time, sooner or later more people will know about Lu Yu as a "noble", and then the review court formed by the Kingdom of Yas will definitely come to contact Lu Yu.
Based on Lu Yu's previous words and deeds, as well as his unheard-of experiences, the nobles in the review court will most likely recognize his identity. At most, they will ask the king to let Lu Yu exchange his meritorious service for complete noble privileges.
Old Drake came late at night, hoping that he could bypass the review court in the form of a magician's recommendation and get some knowledge and experience from Lu Yu.
Now that I have begun to believe in my own identity and experience, it becomes much easier.
Lu Yu asked: "How do you want to verify my identity?"
Old Drake smiled and said: "It's no different from Andrew. Ask some questions. Since you are recommending as a magician, I also need you to show your magic a little bit."
Lu Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
"I have the right to choose not to answer questions involving privacy."
"Yes, but you must answer quickly."
Old Drake asked the first question without any warning.
"What are the famous holidays in the country of Seris?"
"Spring Festival." Lu Yu didn't expect it to start, so he subconsciously said it.
"So what will you do during the Spring Festival?"
"On the occasion of family reunion, of course we should enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner and do a general cleaning of the house."
Lu Yu originally wanted to set off fireworks, but in recent years he had not had the chance to do it himself, so he did not say anything.
"New Year's Eve dinner...it's a meal for festivals, right? So what do you eat?"
"It's basically food you've never heard of. The more common ones in my hometown are braised pork with pickled vegetables, dumplings, white-cut chicken, and a piece of fish, which means plenty every year."
Old Drake asked questions faster and faster, leaving no gap for Lu Yu to stop.
From the festivals of Seris Country to the food of Seris Country, one question follows another.
In such a high-intensity conversation, even a liar who has made up a country and recited it repeatedly will find it difficult to answer the question immediately.
Since I live on that land and am the lord of the same land, everything should be engraved deep in my memory and I can answer it subconsciously.
Old Drake asked questions slower and slower, and he found that he really couldn't keep up with Lu Yu's answer speed.
Lu Yu only answered half of his question.
For example, old Drake wants to ask again what kind of good tea there is in Seris.
Lu Yu directly threw out a lot of tea names such as Biluochun, Dahongpao, Longjing, etc., and every time he said one, his face was filled with an inexplicable smile.
Old Drake understood that smile.
It's a sense of superiority.
This is exactly the same as the embarrassment shown by Lu Yu when he tasted tea before.
For another example, old Drake asked who had the larger territory, the Kingdom of Seris or the Kingdom of Yas.
Lu Yu laughed out loud, and then waved his hand to indicate to Old Drake to ask the next question. He didn't want to answer this question.
Looking at Lu Yu's expression, Old Drake knew clearly that it wasn't that he couldn't answer it, but that he thought the question was really funny.
After asking a series of questions, Old Drake gradually sketched some outlines of the country of Seris.
It is rich, vast, rich in resources, and extremely beautiful.
Regarding the Lu Yu in front of him, he also began to believe that he indeed came from the rich country of Seris and was an important role in the country's border development.
If it hadn't been for the accident caused by his fierce battle with the monsters, the Marquis would have organized a large army to conquer the land occupied by the monsters at this moment.
The living room was silent for a while, and Old Drake's tense face gradually relaxed as he concentrated.
"Your Majesty the Marquis, can you still find a way back to Seris Country?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "After I encountered the mistransmission of the teleportation ceremony, I searched for many years, but I still couldn't find any information about my motherland."
"But this does not prevent me from continuing to search until I return to my castle again and respond to the subjects who are loyal to my territory."
Old Drake was silent again. He slowly closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something.
"It's difficult, this land is so vast... If my guess is correct, you were seriously injured after the teleportation ceremony, so much so that the magic power your body can hold has become very little..."
Lulutis had just told Lu Yu in the chat room that Old Drake secretly sensed the strength of Lu Yu's magic power and was so fast that he had no time to warn.
Lu Yu was also ready to tell another lie. Unexpectedly, Old Drake actually helped him figure out the reason...
The old man is really kind-hearted!
"You're spying on me."
"I have no ill intentions and will not spread this information at will." Old Drake lamented, "With such an injury, you can still move forward and overcome countless difficulties and obstacles to reach the Kingdom of Yas..."
"I have nothing but respect for you, deep respect."
Lu Yu walked down the slope, showing a sad look.
"It's not all my fault. My loyal servants protected me until they all died in battle, so that I could come to this place of temporary peace."
"The same is true. I bought a new servant after arriving in the Kingdom of Yas."
Old Drake understood. No wonder Sigrid looked clumsy. It turned out that she had just bought it from the slave market.
After getting the information he needed, Old Drake stood up and said, "Since your old injury has not healed, Your Majesty the Marquis, I won't make it difficult for you to use magic to verify your identity."
Old Drake made it convenient for him, so Lu Yu naturally asked Sigrid to take out three maps for Old Drake to appreciate.
After receiving the map, Old Drake put on his monocle, gently held the corner of the map with his thick folded hands, and carefully appreciated the "exotic scenery".
Fascinated by the map and the details of the monsters on the map, Old Drake also asked about Lu Yu.
For example, how he learned about the strange "human pus" weak fire in Lothric City.
In this chaotic place where even the knights of the kingdom have almost lost their minds, why didn't the surviving prince take the initiative to stand up and lead the remaining troops to save the country from collapse? Instead, he locked himself in the room and refused to go out?
Is the king's laurel crown a curse?
And why on the map of Raleye, Lu Yu didn't record any information about the monsters. He only wrote an unknown number and added "You shouldn't explore too much about the truth."
He had already identified Lu Yu as the Marquis of Seris, and started a long journey with his servants during the teleportation ceremony.
The difficulties and obstacles they faced on this journey were countless, and certainly not just three maps could record them all.
However, the maps of Lothric and Gransyfa that I saw were all very detailed, except for the map of Raleye where Lu Yu's words were as precious as gold.
It was as if...he saw something like a nightmare there.
After witnessing the horror of that monster, he was completely unable to think of fighting against it, and was so ashamed that he even refused to record it.
Old Drake looked up at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu asked Old Drake not to ask, as he didn't want to recall what happened at that time.
As he spoke, he started to tremble, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and tears shone in the corners of his eyes.
What could make a battle-hardened nobleman so fearful?
Could it be that he is a demon god that is spread among monsters and only exists in totem records?
