After some discussion, Lelouch's attitude toward the Pharmacist Association was to simply ignore them, and then there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Your Excellency, President Lelouch, there is an attendant outside who wants to see you." A staff member of the Chamber of Commerce knocked on the door and walked in after receiving permission.
"Has the other party made an appointment?"
"No."
Lelouch looked at the employee and said word by word: "Then please tell him that I am very busy now. If there is anything, please leave it to the receptionist temporarily."
During this period of time, Lelouch, who suddenly appeared as a big benefactor, became a celebrity in some businessmen's social areas in the free city. There were so many people who came to visit, spy on information, and build relationships every day that they were about to cross the threshold. As a result, Lelouch had no choice but to hand over all the visitors who were not identified as possible future partners to the reception department. Every day, someone would sort out some things worthy of attention and submit them to Lelouch for review.
Soon the employee just returned and this time there was an invitation in his hand.
Seeing the strange look on this employee's face, Lelouch looked at the invitation and was quite surprised. Buyani, the crystal dragon behind him, looked at the invitation with bright eyes because of this The invitation is not only inlaid with gold edges, but also has a medium-sized ruby in the center. It can be said that the cost of making such an invitation is probably tens of thousands of Lien.
If you spend tens of thousands of dollars to make an invitation, does the person you invite already have so much money that you don’t know how to spend it
You must know that during this period, some invitations from various chambers of commerce and nobles will be sent to Lelouch every day. Alisa will often help Lelouch identify those who need to socialize and those who can choose to ignore them. Slowly Lelouch also learned something from Alisa. Generally speaking, rich nobles and businessmen will put some effort into invitations in order to show off their wealth and power. Usually, the more luxurious the invitations, the more luxurious they are. The identity of the person is more unusual. According to Lelouch, the most gorgeous invitation he received was also the invitation from the Zogton Slave Chamber of Commerce. The invitation was also inlaid with gold edges and attached with a very expensive ruby bird feather, but Compared to the invitation in front of me, which was inlaid with gold and precious stones, it was dwarfed.
For a moment, even Alisa became interested and moved closer to Lelouch to take a look.
The invitation was from a gourmet club. After getting rid of a bunch of polite words, the other party wanted to invite Lelouch and Buanyani to a gourmet feast three days later, and attached a list of visitors who would attend the gourmet feast. Alyssa couldn't help but be a little surprised when she looked at the list. Many of the list of hundreds of people were prominent figures in the free city.
"Psychedelic Dream Food Club┉┉" Alyssa whispered the name on the invitation.
"Gourmet club! Do you have any impressions of this club?"
Alisa frowned. She had the impression that she had heard the name of this club, but it was too long and she couldn't remember it: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lelouch~ I seem to have some impressions, but I can't remember some of them." ”
"It doesn't matter, there's no need to force yourself to think about it."
Lelouch waved his hand to indicate it was okay. After carefully looking at the invitation, the other party just invited me and Buyani to have a meal. The dining address was a private manor in the upper-class area of Free City, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Besides, even Lelouch, who was reincarnated as the Black Dragon Queen, didn't care.
"Buyani~ Are you interested in food?"
Lelouch asked Buanyani half-jokingly, but the Crystal Dragon girl said with great interest: "Of course, after all, as dragons, our lives are very long, and we need a lot of condiments to cope with the boredom of life, and delicious food. It’s one of my hobbies.”
"Haha~ Really? I thought the giant dragon would just catch some beasts and eat them hastily every day."
Buyani: “┉┉┉┉”
Seeing Buanyani suddenly startled into a daze, Lelouch noticed that he had accidentally looked at the dragon through human eyes just now, completely forgetting that he was also a dragon now. But it's no wonder that after all, before coming to this world, most of Lelouch's understanding of dragons came from novels and myths. In these stories, dragons are almost always described as kidnapping princesses, destroying kingdoms, and then being killed by righteous heroes. In other stories, dragons are often described as being at the top of the food chain. Whether they are beasts on the earth or whales in the deep sea, they are the prey of dragons. Of course, the most terrifying description is that humans who are coerced by dragons often sacrifice their beauty. Young girls were sacrificed to the dragon, and the final consequences of these sacrifices can be described as horror and curiosity.
However, in this different world, the situation is actually different. At least in Buanyani's view, Lelouch's views just now were a bit too outdated, almost like an old-fashioned human being from an unknown country place.
"Well, Lord Lelouch, generally speaking, when we dragons eat, they are not as bloody and terrifying as humans imagine. In fact, most of the dragons that eat their prey cruelly and fiercely are subspecies of dragons that are not as intelligent as beasts. Such as dragon lizards, multi-headed dragons, bipedal dragons, etc. We dragons are intelligent creatures with intelligence superior to humans and have our own civilization and social structure. We usually pursue food when we transform into humans. The quality of food is not the quantity. In fact, our taste in food is no less than that of human gourmets. For example, some of the races that accept our protection near our crystal dragon territory include various rare ingredients in their food to us every year. Mortals who are good at cooking often serve as our chefs.”
Buanyani explained to Lelouch in detail that dragons are not disordered beasts. Dragons with wisdom and even established their own civilization system are sometimes no worse than humans in terms of enjoyment and ostentation. In the eyes of mortals, a dragon is a beast that digs a hole in the cliff as its lair. But as soon as you enter the dragon cave, you will find that the entire cave is built inside a palace that is comparable to the gods.
Alisa has a deep understanding of this point of view. The magnificent buildings built on the mountain peaks in Ulduar City show that the dragon family's architectural level far exceeds that of humans. The layout of the rooms and various facilities are also comparable to those of a royal palace. Degree. After living in the city of Ulduar for a period of time, Alisa discovered that she had read a novel about dragon research before. For the author and researcher in this book, the dragons were described as brutal and savage beasts. Now Alisa just wants to say that he must have studied shit.
After listening to Buanyani's explanation, Lelouch nodded, and then took the invitation and looked at it: "It seems to be a very interesting banquet, Alisa~ Do you have any important arrangements in three days?"
"It's nothing, basically just trivial matters. Mr. Lelouch, are you going to attend this banquet?" Alisa's tone was a little worried. Generally speaking, an invitation from a completely unaware force in a free city is It's better not to just go to a banquet without knowing the details of the other party.
Although Lelouch also felt that there was something wrong with this invitation, Lelouch still wanted to see how influential this so-called food club was. He wanted to integrate into the city as quickly as possible, so he could try it at any opportunity.
"It seems to be a very interesting banquet. Maybe we can go to the banquet and see what's going on. Well~ only Buanyani and I were invited┉┉"
"Then do you need me to accompany you to the banquet? Dear brother Lelouch!" Buanyani said in Lelouch's ear with a playful tone like a cute sister.
Lelouch replied without turning his head: "You don't have to go, just let Eliza and I go to the banquet."
Ah la~
Buyani suddenly asked in frustration: "But the invitation sent invited me?"
"I told you Buyani, remember your current status. As a noble girl with a strict upbringing, you don't like to go out to attend noisy banquets. For you, reading books in a peaceful room That’s what you love most.”
Buanyani immediately lowered her head weakly and said yes again and again with a depressed smile~ She doesn't like noisy banquets and endless dance parties. She only likes to read books quietly in the evening, and occasionally play with flowers and small pets. It's completely She is a pure aristocratic girl who grew up in a boudoir and has no knowledge of the dangers of the world. This setting made Buyani complain a lot, but it must be said that this status has extraordinary appeal to many children of noble families.
When I was living in the hotel, many men who thought they were handsome and handsome kept coming to talk to Buyani every day. Although they seemed polite, in fact, most of the men who talked to me were doing what they wanted to do. The plan was to coax Buyani to the bed as quickly as possible. Now that she has moved to the Chamber of Commerce, people send flowers and gifts to Buanyani every day, or there are a lot of invitations to banquets and dances.
Of course, all the invitations were rejected by Lelouch, who was his 'brother', and the gifts were accepted by Buanyani without hesitation. The flowers were probably a bit unlucky, but they were all given to the 'flower-loving' Miss Buanyani. Throw it directly into the trash can.
"Then how about you let me use the ring to transform into Alisa and go with you?" Buanyani still pointed at herself with some unwillingness, her tone was a bit pleading. It seemed that she was forced to stay in the Chamber of Commerce during this period. It made Buyani feel too bored.
"There are only two rings and only two people can go. If you can help me identify the people attending the banquet, then it doesn't hurt to let you go."
Faced with begging Lelouch, Buanyani completely gave in with just one sentence. In the end, the Crystal Dragon girl had no choice but to stay in the chamber of commerce and continue to play the role of a noble girl! (To be continued...)
