Adjacent to the lake, a seven-story high-rise building stands with bright yellow tiles, which is particularly eye-catching in the world of Qingdai. Every night, the red lanterns hanging between the floors also add a lot of lively atmosphere.
It was night, and the restaurant was full of people.
Young men and women wearing various costumes sat together and talked with each other, and the most lively one was the table in the middle.
A young man named Lan Yuanqing sat at the head of the table as the host. Others, including four celebrities from the general election, sat on different sides, not next to each other. Lorraine Hill was also sitting among them at this time.
The night wind blows in through the open windows, making the lobby where nearly a hundred people sit not suffocating. Instead, it brings water vapor from the lake at night, making people feel quite cool.
Although I had been prepared before, when Lorraine Hill was looked at by so many people, I still felt a little embarrassed. It’s not that I was particularly shy, I just cared a little bit. It was that keen perception that
Let her easily detect other people's gaze.
As the banquet began, because she had to eat and she was sitting close to her, the hat and veil on her head were also removed. People around her were once again amazed and even looked at her in a daze, which made her feel even more embarrassed.
Well, I wouldn't have come if I had known it. She bit her lip slightly, lowered her head, and looked at the dishes in front of her, but her ears stood up nervously, listening to the sounds around her.
"So beautiful, Sister Jialan." The lively Tang Nanlian turned into a flower protector and sat next to Lorraine Hill. She also specially called another sister to come over and sit on the other side to prevent other boys from eating Lorraine Hill.
of tofu.
Others present also praised her, but they seemed to think that just saying she was beautiful would tarnish such beauty and that she should be described in better poetry.
It's a pity that although some of the people present are talented, most of their strengths are not in poetry and poetry. Later, I really couldn't think of any new words, so I can only describe them as "overwhelming the country and the city".
"I was presumptuous before." Wu Xingkui stood up and bowed.
Lorraine Hill shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't mind, and then everyone gradually started talking again. But compared to before, they always glanced away intentionally or unintentionally and glanced at the girl secretly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lorraine Hill felt shy but also slightly amused.
When I was in Carites, when I attended banquets, the guests at those banquets also liked to watch and peek, but those people would be more bold, not sneaky like these people now.
It seems that this is also a characteristic of Eastern culture. Even if you like beautiful things, you will try your best to remain reserved, let alone these young people who have good face.
She sighed in her heart, relieved her shy mood a little, and slowly raised her head.
"Come on, come on, let me toast you all first. You can feel free to do whatever you want, especially the ladies who don't want to drink." Lan Yuanqing is quite a good person.
The sound of clinking glasses sounded. Lorraine Hill and Tang Nanlian did not drink, but drank some light tea. She was indeed not good at drinking. Although she had extraordinary abilities in this life and her resistance would be better, she still did not want to break the past.
habits.
After clinking glasses, everyone at the wine table started talking slowly. Only then did Lorraine Hill know the origins of these people.
"My name is Ying Canxiao, and I am honored to meet all of you today..." Although this man has a stern look on his face, his words are not as cold as his appearance, but rather calm and easy-going.
"I am Wu Xingkui..." The young man in scarlet brocade opened his folding fan, shook it gently, and told his origins.
"...When I was young, I traveled to various countries. I just wanted to be free and happy across the world."
"My name is Huang Gu. I am strong and thick-skinned. I'm done." The introduction of this big man was quite clear, but everyone was still very interested in him.
"Is Brother Huanggu a descendant of the God of Thunder?" someone asked curiously.
"I don't know." He shook his head.
"I don't know my parents either. They were adopted by an old man in the mountains when they were young. They just came down from the mountain not long ago."
"Oh, how do you usually exercise?" Some people were curious about this big man's strength.
"Just kill the wild beasts in the mountains. If you kill a lot, you'll get used to it." He still said very few words.
"No wonder, no wonder." Others whispered.
"It seems that Brother Huanggu's teacher should be an expert hermit."
"No, the old man doesn't know anything, and he can't even catch fish. I often find something to feed him. When he dies, he asks me to go down the mountain before he dies, and I come out." The big man shook his head.
"Then who did you learn this skill from?" The people on the side became even more curious.
"I started learning from those beasts, and then I learned from those powerful monsters, and gradually I got good at it."
"This... method of cultivating monsters can be used by humans, but due to their inconsistent constitutions and extremely low efficiency, very few people learn it." Several people at the table were slightly surprised.
"I don't know. Anyway, if you want to learn something, I'll catch the demon beast you know how to learn, and stay together every day to observe it. I'll slowly understand it." Huang Ku's approach is simply the most primitive supernatural sect.
"I have to admire it." Wu Xingkui also shook his head and sighed, he had seen what a barbaric genius is.
The next few people continued to talk, and the topic unknowingly led to the alluring girl with long hair.
"Is Miss Jialan's swordsmanship also learned at home?"
Others asked the same questions as Tang Nanlian just now. However, Lorraine Hill looked at them and seemed to be more interested in her other personal matters, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Of course, she would not take the initiative to tell them.
"It's considered homeschooling..." The girl said the same explanation as Tang Nanlian just now.
"No wonder, no wonder."
Seeing that the others stopped temporarily, Lorraine Hill finally asked.
"Have you ever been to the Western Continent?"
"I've never been there." Some people shook their heads. They had only heard about the Western Continent and knew that there was a big country over there with red and green flowers as its coat of arms.
"I haven't been there, but I know a bit about it." At this time, Wu Xingkui spoke, with a hint of pride on his face.
"Thousands of miles to the west from our Qi Lei Qizhou, there are the Ten Mountains of Longwei. After passing the Ten Mountains of Longwei, and hundreds of miles further to the west, there is a huge city called Longquan Bay."
"There are many sailing boats there, and Westerners often stay there. It is said that in the past few years, iron boats came through the waves, bringing news from the Western world."
"So what is the current situation in the Western Continent?" There was a glimmer of light in Lorraine Hill's black crystal eyes.
"This is hard to say. Because the news I got was also a few years ago. It is said that at that time, in the far west of the Western Continent, the seven kingdoms were fighting in a melee. The wrath from the sky burned the earth, turning a certain area into a world of glass."
"After that, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the waves in the endless sea were rough, the whirlpools and waves were endless, the ships coming and going became more and more dangerous, and the number of caravans gradually decreased."
Is this so, the girl sighed silently in her heart. It seems that there is still a fight within the Seven Snow Flower Kingdoms, and it is not known who will win.
"What happened next? Is the connection broken now?"
"I'm afraid we have to go to Longquan Bay to have a look. There may be sporadic news there." Wu Xingkui shook his head.
"But this place in Longquan Bay spans thousands of miles, and monsters and bandits are rampant along the way. It is extremely dangerous. If Miss Jialan wants to go, it is best to be fully prepared."
"In addition, after arriving at Longquan Bay, it is said that there are two shipping routes. One is to take a boat directly to Wanglong Port in the east of the Green Kingdom, and the other is to head south to the land of Chuyue. It is said that there is a branch of Jietian Dao there, and development
Very good.”
"Thank you." Lorraine Hill nodded and expressed his gratitude.
"No, no, it's my honor to help Miss Jialan, haha." The young man smiled proudly.
"The golden bird in the east, the greenery in the west, the vast sea in the south, and the ice palace in the north."
"The heaven and earth are so vast and magnificent!"
"A gentleman should take five chariots and six dragons, go up to the blue sky, go down to the underworld, and see the whole world."
