Chapter 329 Letters
Although Liu Bai had never eaten a real Manchu Han banquet, the 108 dishes spread on the huge long table completely attracted Liu Bai's attention. He even forgot about Nashida beside him and couldn't wait to get closer.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes, Liu Bai almost drooled.
"It seems that Lerch likes it very much."
Seeing that Liu Bai was completely attracted, Pantalone nodded slightly.
"Yes, thank you for making such a grand preparation."
Nashida nodded in response, and out of courtesy he accompanied Pantalone to the table, and then came to Liu Bai.
"Please take a seat."
Pantalone motioned Liu Bai and Nashida to sit next to him.
After the two sat down, Pantalone clapped his hands gently, and several ladies came over.
After all, the table was too big. They couldn't just stand up and walk over to get the dish they wanted. They could just ask the maid to bring it to them.
"That, that, and that... Ugh, I want that too!"
It was the first time that Liu Bai was served by servants during a meal. He started eating with his chopsticks and pointed at the dishes that interested him while eating.
There's even Buddha...and Xian Jumping Over the Wall!
"Don't just take one bite of each dish. It's such a waste."
Watching the maids bringing dishes over, Nashida patted Liu Bai's arm helplessly as a reminder.
After all, only the food that Pantalone had not touched would be given to his subordinates. If it had been touched, the leftovers would have to be thrown away.
"It's okay girl, I can pack it up and feed it to the fox."
"Fox... huh? Where's my fox?"
Only then did Liu Bai remember that he seemed to have forgotten to bring the fox.
"Don't worry about the fox, just eat your meal and try this golden shrimp ball~"
As Nashida spoke, she picked up the golden shrimp ball and brought it to Liu Bai's mouth.
Seeing the delicious food in front of him, Liu Bai had to put the pink-haired fox behind his mind and started to enjoy the food.
……
Liu Bai certainly couldn't finish all the 108 dishes. After eating a few of them and taking a bite of more than ten dishes, Liu Bai and Nashida felt full.
After packing up the dishes that only they had touched, Pantalone personally escorted the two of them to the door and said goodbye to them.
Liu Bai and Nashida returned to their rental house in Zhidong. They had simply cleaned it during the day. Although the house looked older after being uninhabited for a while, Liu Bai didn't mind it.
But just when Liu Bai and Nashida were about to go to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Here it comes, who is it?"
After taking a look at Liu Bai who was lying on the bed writing a novel, Nashida had to go and open the door herself.
After the door opened, Nashida found an old man outside the door who looked somewhat familiar.
After seeing Nashida, the other party was obviously confused.
"Excuse me, old man, who are you looking for?"
Nashida asked politely.
"Ah... I saw the light was on, and I thought that kid Xiaobai had come back."
The old man scratched his head, as if he couldn't understand why such a cute little kid came out of the house.
"Is that so? Then come in quickly."
"Xiaobai, someone is looking for you."
Nashida nodded, invited the other person in and called out over her shoulder.
Hearing Nashida's voice, Liu Bai had to put down his pen and get off the bed.
"Um... Mr. Goel! Long time no see!"
Liu Bai looked at the other person carefully and quickly recognized him.
"Haha, it's been a while since we last met. I heard that you've been busy in various countries recently."
"It's rare that you're back. I have something to ask you for help."
Goer chuckled and nodded, then explained to Liu Bai.
"Master Goel, please go ahead."
Liu Bai immediately nodded and agreed.
This old man was the second person who took Zhidong home, and the rental house where Liu Bai lived was also his.
"Haha, it's like this, I heard that you are going to Mond soon."
"In my early years, I had an argument with my brother at home, and I ran away to Zhidong alone. We haven't been in touch for so many years."
"I have been feeling increasingly unwell lately. If I don't reconcile with him, I'm afraid I won't have another chance, so I would like to ask you to help me deliver a letter to him."
Goer explained to Liu Bai and then took out the letter he had prepared.
"I understand, old man. I'll send it over for you...but what's your brother's name?"
Liu Bai asked after taking the envelope.
"His name is Goethe. I heard he has done some great things in Mond. You should be able to find him if you ask around."
Goel explained with a slight nod.
After putting away the envelope, Liu Bai promised that he would deliver it to the other party, and then he and Nashida saw Goel out together.
"What a coincidence! The house we rented in Mond is Goethe's."
After sending Goel away, Nashida explained to Liu Bai.
"Is that so? Then we can deliver it when we get back."
Liu Bai nodded.
The two then returned to the rental house.
……
The next morning, Liu Bai couldn't wait to go to the Winter Palace. Since there were many people in the Winter Palace at this time, Liu Bai did not bring Nashida with him this time.
"Your Majesty! Let's go attack Inazuma!"
Seeing the Ice Queen in the hall, Liu Bai couldn't wait to make a proposal.
"?"
The other executives who were in the meeting looked at Liu Bai with a strange expression.
"..."
"Scaramsey has lost contact with Inazuma for many days. Do you want us to send troops to rescue him?"
After exchanging a glance with the Ice Queen, the General Officer [Clown] Piero began to ask Liu Bai.
"Who?"
Liu Bai asked doubtfully.
"Then why do you want to attack Inazuma? You don't need to go this far to seize Inazuma's Heart of God."
Piero didn't pay much attention to the fact that Liu Bai didn't even remember the name of his colleague, but continued to ask.
"Inazuma's Heart of God?"
Liu Bai scratched his head, then reached into his clothes and quickly took out a purple Heart of God.
Seeing Liu Bai get the Heart of God, the other executives were more or less surprised.
After all, they already knew before this that Liu Bai had obtained the Heart of the Grass God and cooperated with the [Servant] to obtain the Heart of the Water God.
Including this one, he has obtained four Hearts of God.
Liu Bai then took the opportunity to hand over the Heart of Thundergod, but his proposal to attack Inazuma was still rejected.
Liu Bai felt very sorry about this and had to think of another way to wake up the God of Cooking.
"Wait a moment, Lerch."
Just when Liu Bai finished the meeting and was about to leave for the Winter Palace, someone suddenly called him.
"…Captain, what can I do for you?"
Liu Bai looked back and found that it was [Captain] Capitano.
"I heard that you defeated Tartaglia in Liyue. With your record, your current strength is incomparable to that of the past. I am here to assess your strength, which will affect your ranking among the executive officers in the future."
Capitano explained to Liu Bai.
Outsiders don't know how the executive officer seats are ranked, but as executive officers, they themselves naturally know that everything is based on strength.
"Huh? Do I have to fight with the captain?"
Liu Bai raised a hand and pointed at himself and said in surprise.
I am the twelfth seat and I am fighting against the first seat? Is this true?
