Chapter 35 Slums (2)

At this time, Tom suddenly remembered something. It took three or four hours to reach here from the small villa in Corris in the eastern suburbs across the city. Usually, they set off early in the morning, and it was almost noon here. Tom would find a simple restaurant to eat, but this time he did not come alone. There was also a noble lady in the carriage. Where did Miss Fengyu go to have a meal? You can't be hungry at noon, right?

When Tom was thinking about how to solve this problem, the curtain behind the carriage was lifted, and Danica said, "It's already noon, where are we going to have a meal?"

I was really afraid of anything I was going to do. Tom thought with some annoyance and said, "Miss Fengyu, I remember that I always have some fun in the carriage. Otherwise, you can eat a little casually? Let's take a walk and go back to the city center as soon as possible." When I arrived at the city center, there was a hotel that was in line with the aristocratic status.

Danica asked in confusion: "I saw a small restaurant next to me? Why can't I eat here?"

Tom said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Fengyu, you know that it is close to the slums and lives in poor people. Although there are restaurants, the food is very 'ordinary'." Tom said it was quite tactful, saying it was "ordinary", but in fact it was completely simple.

Danica smiled and said, "Tom, you should also see that I am not a hereditary noble, nor as delicate as hereditary nobles. It doesn't matter, let's eat nearby."

Hereditary nobles refer to nobles who inherited the status of aristocrats from their parents. Such nobles often have strong families and profound backgrounds. Some families' inheritance is even longer than some countries. In this way, the nobles from large families are naturally very good at food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition to these nobles obtained from inheritance, there are many first-generation nobles, such as those who have established great merits for the country, and the king will give him a noble status as a reward, but this situation is rare. More common are professions. Some professions, such as magicians, are deemed to be nobles. A magician will be treated by nobles whether in the forest where elves live, in the city of human race, or in the wilderness of the northern part of the beast. Although Danica is only a small first-level magician, she is already a noble, and this kind of nobles does not have the kind of attention that the big family has cultivated.

Tom guessed this. After all, Danica's behavior is very different from that of the nobles born in a big family, and he also knows that his master, Miss Cures Gad is a powerful magician. This Miss Fengyu may be a fellow traveler Miss Gad met on the magic path.

Seeing that Danica said so, Tom didn't dare to say anything anymore. He lowered the small stool and let Danica get off the carriage.

Seeing that Tom was still a little worried, Danica comforted him and said, "Don't think I'm too delicate. As a magician who has experienced outdoor training, I have experienced many difficulties. It is common for me to sleep in the open. Don't worry."

Danica said as she walked towards the small restaurant next to her. When she pushed open the door of the restaurant, she felt a little regretful.

This is a restaurant with a small area. A short and solid middle-aged woman stood behind the bar and wiped the wooden cup with a greasy rag. She didn't rub it seriously, but just wiped it roughly and put the cup aside. The three "tables" were placed on the open space of the restaurant. They were called tables, but in fact they were just a few stacked stones covered with a wooden board. Next to the table, there were three or four wine barrels, which seemed to be used as stools.

What impressed Danica the most was the strange smell that came to her when she just walked into this restaurant. It was hard to say what it was. It seemed like a fishy sea fish was stored in the summer for several days. Just this piece of rotten meat tasted after being carefully cooked, which was disgusting and disgusting, but there was a faint smell of food.

Tom couldn't stand the awkward smell. It was the first time he entered this restaurant. Unexpectedly, the environment here was so bad. Seeing Danica hesitating, Tom took the initiative to say, "Miss Fengyu, the environment here seems not very good, let's change one!"

"Oh, okay... no, no, let's have a meal here!" Danica was about to agree, but refused again because she found a middle-aged man squatting in the corner, holding a large wooden bowl and eating noodles.

Danica knew this middle-aged man who was dressed in extremely shabby and extremely sloppy. Wasn't he the guy who saw his thoughts at first glance on the boat before? Such a powerful person wouldn't die in a shipwreck like this, but Danica didn't expect that they would meet again soon.

I have to say that this guy gave Danica a deep impression. What he mastered was what he hoped to get. Since he met it, it depends on whether he could have a good chat. Maybe he could reach a deal that both parties were satisfied with!

Danica didn't go up and asked if she could teach herself how to see through people's hearts. She glanced over there and then withdrew her gaze and walked in.

Danica picked a few simple choices, found the cleanest-looking barrel and sat down, and said to Tom who was standing next to him, "Look at what delicious food is here!" Although Danica is not a hereditary nobleman and does not have so many rules, there is a deep gap between nobles and civilians here. Danica can sit in such a simple little restaurant to eat, but Tom must not sit next to her.

Tom agreed and walked towards the counter. He didn't think there was such a delicious meal in this place, but since Miss Fengyu decided to eat here, try to order something cleaner.

Danica sat there, looking at the tabletop showing a layer of black oily stuff, a little cramped, and she didn't know where to put her hands. In the end, she gave up and folded her hands on her legs, as if she was randomly observing the small restaurant.

At this time, the middle-aged man seemed to have almost finished eating. He picked up the wooden bowl and put it to his mouth, drank the last bit of soup, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and burped it, as if he was very satisfied with the meal. Now, the only trouble is how to pay the bill.

The middle-aged man looked around and wanted to plan a route to escape quickly, but soon, his eyes lit up, and a meal ticket was sitting not far away.
