Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Chapter 13 Dinner with the Dragon

The dinner was still going on, and the next dish was brought up by the 'waiter', which was a simple bowl of soup.

Alai followed Wei Xi's actions, and took a sip with a different spoon. The taste was very complicated, but it was not delicious, and it seemed to be mixed with spirits.He quietly put down the spoon, trying to change the topic to Nino and the others.He was really curious about how Ned's brother and Vesey formed a 'partner'.

"Speaking of which, you mentioned before that Ned participated in your contract ceremony the year before last?" Alai asked Weixi tentatively.

"Yes, but Ned at that time was not as obedient as he is now. It took a lot of effort just to make him willing to stay until the end of the ceremony." Wei Xi took a sip of soup slowly, teasing with a smile .

"That's because Weixi belongs to the royal family. The ceremony is much more complicated than that of most dragon families. It's annoying to change clothes." Ned simply pushed away the soup bowl in front of him and interjected.

I don't know if it was because he was dissatisfied with the taste of the soup, or because he remembered the complicated scene of the ceremony at that time, he couldn't help tugging at the collar of his shirt.

"Royal family?" Alai repeated in surprise.

"Strictly speaking, I am the youngest son of the king of the magic plane in the third district." Weixi explained.

The king's son, that is to say... prince?So after the snowy mountains, castles, and dragons, did even the prince appear? !What happened to his brother Ned?Did he live his life according to the legends of the Dragon Clan?

While talking, the white wine just now was replaced, and the 'waiter' poured a glass of red wine again.

So is this the difference between what a prince eats and what an ordinary person eats?Eat a dish for a drink?Alai couldn't help being amused by his own thoughts.He took a sip of the wine as a cover-up, and actually tasted the smell of butter biscuits. A Lai took a closer look and smelled it, and there was a sweet milky smell.

"It's the smell left after fermentation in oak barrels. This one smells particularly good, so it's especially popular among the Dragon Clan." Ned said to Ah Lo, took a sip from the wine glass in front of him, and continued.

"Actually, the story between my brother and Weixi is nothing to tell. Have you ever read a fairy tale about the Dragon Clan? It's similar to that." Ned said as he took the soup bowl in front of Alai and stuffed it. To the 'waiter' standing behind.

"Fairy tales?" Alai was more and more confused by Ned's words, and he raised his head to look at Weixi inquiringly.What is similar to a fairy tale?Wei Xi couldn't have been brought back by Nino, right?

"The story between me and Nino is a long story, maybe next time I have time to talk to you slowly." Weixi said, subconsciously avoiding Ah's eyes, and seemed not to want to mention him and Nino's past.

"Speaking of which, you guys probably came here this time not only to ask about the contract, right? Is there anything else?" He paused for a moment, and simply changed the subject to Alai.

"We didn't come here because of the contract." Ned whispered from the side.

Alai kicked under the dining table violently, making Ned shut up obediently.

"Actually, it's like this. Ned and I plan to start a small business and start a space transportation company. Then Ned said that we can ask his brother for advice first, so we have this visit." Alai thought for a while, then said slowly.

"Space Transportation Company? Is it because of Ned?" Nino asked from the side. He raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly, as if he was very interested in this topic.

"Well, it's partly due to Ned, and partly due to me. I forgot to introduce, I'm actually a space magician who can travel to various planes at will. Coupled with Ned's ability, I have the idea."

"Well... If this is the case, the feasibility of this matter is quite high. Are you planning to do large-scale transportation business? Maybe there are jobs like finding objects? The combination of your abilities is indeed very suitable." Nino answered.

It can be seen that this human being is seriously planning for the future.As for his dear silly brother... Nino turned his attention to the upright Ned sitting diagonally across from him. Now that he has found a 'partner', it should be fine for now.

"Yes, it's almost like this. Then my current idea is to register a company first, then place an advertisement on the Internet, and contact the friends I knew before."

They are all dragons, so there is a difference. It would be great if Ned could understand what he was doing as soon as he said it.But, well...but then Ned wouldn't be Ned.

"If that's the case, I have a proposal." Hearing this, Weixi interrupted the conversation between Nino and Alai.He put down the knife and fork in his hand, and signaled the 'waiter' to serve the food later, showing a businesslike expression.

"I have a company in charge of system development in the third district, and recently developed a new system that can send and receive messages across districts. For example, if someone posts a mission in the adventurer's guild in the sixth district, or someone leaves a message on the website of the tenth district, It can be displayed on the system. If you plan to do business related to space transportation, I think we might be able to cooperate?"

collect information?Interregional?Isn't that a network that can connect the whole region?

"Wait, you mean, no matter which area or plane I'm in, any information can be collected in one place? In real time?" Alai slightly opened his eyes and asked Weixi.

What a joke!Now there are more than 6 registered regional planes in the three districts. Is it really possible to develop such a system to collect the information of more than 6 planes in one place in real time?And what was it developed for?It can't be for the small business of buying and selling planes like him, right? !

"That's right. Although I have other purposes in developing this system, it's completely fine to help you post advertisements and receive orders. How about it? Do you want to cooperate with me?" Weixi seemed to be unaware of this matter. As if the matter was unbelievable, he changed his posture and asked Ah Lai again.

"That is to say, you are responsible for helping me advertise in various districts and collecting customer needs, and I only need to be responsible for transportation. Is that what you mean?" Alai asked hesitantly.

No matter how you look at it, he took advantage of this matter. Is it because Ned is Nino's younger brother?That's why Weixi is willing to help like this?

"That's right. Of course, although I admit that part of the reason for cooperating with you is because of Ned, but a business is a business, and each order still has to be divided, um... I think it's better to take a 1%." Weixi said He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of the number '[-]' towards Ali.

"You can think about it slowly. Later, I will ask 'Sparkle' to arrange a contract for you. We can try this kind of cooperation first, post an advertisement in the system, and take two orders first." Weixi continued to use one, this It's not a big deal, you can think about it slowly and said to Ah Lai.

A Lai hesitated. It sounded like a very good proposal. It was no different from his previous job, and it was more free.He turned to look at Ned and asked for his opinion.

"You have the final say." Ned replied without any hesitation.

"Well...then let's try first." Finally Alai agreed.After all, as I said just now, few people can refuse Wei Xi, especially when he looks at you seriously.

"Then, wish you a happy cooperation in advance?" Weixi raised his glass to Alai and Ned.

"Happy cooperation." Alai also raised his wine glass and gestured from the air.

After talking about the cooperation, the main course was finally served again. It was a steak with a tender pink core, and the fat melted into the meat. With effort, gravy dripped from the knife.

He forked a piece and chewed it. The meat was very tender, and the taste was actually as sweet as sukiyaki.Alai turned his head and glanced at Ned. Ned really enjoyed his meal, and the meat-cutting knife was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

After Ned had eaten at least six plates of steak, the dinner was finally coming to an end.

Ah Lai looked out the window, and it was completely dark.They ate a meal from the moment the sun went down until midnight. Could it be that Nino and the others did this every day?Take more than 2 hours for dinner?Shouldn't it?

A Lai took a bite of the soufflé in front of him while thinking, and the sweetness of almonds hit his forehead, it was too sweet!A Lai took a sip of the wine to dilute the sweetness in his mouth. He couldn't really fall in love with this explosively sweet dessert.

"Don't you like it?" Ned asked after eating his own soufflé, looking at Alai who frowned after taking a bite.

"Well, it's too sweet."

"If you don't like it, just change it, don't force yourself to eat."

Ned naturally brought the plate over, ate Alai's remaining souffle in two or three bites, and signaled to the 'waiter' to serve him another ice cream.

The brown ice cream is plump and has a nice aroma of roasted tea.

"I didn't intend to finish it." Alai turned his head and ended today's long meal with a scoop of ice cream.
