Fortunately, Wu Hui has a way to distinguish it.

As one of the five original stones, the heart of the earth often naturally condenses mysterious textures on the surface, which is a very primitive divine pattern. What's more, the earth-type origin stone formed by the accumulation of energy is pure black and extremely hard, even with a holy weapon, it cannot be split.

If there is a stone that can gather all these characteristics without magical fluctuations, then there is a high probability that it is the heart of the earth.

And Jimmy Gunter happened to have seen such a stone.

It was specially used by a familiar magician to identify it for him. Unfortunately, after researching for a long time, he didn't come up with anything other than finding that the stone was too hard. In the end, he could only attribute the special pattern to a coincidence, and returned the stone.

As soon as Wu Hui heard his description, he knew that it must be the Heart of the Earth he was looking for.

It's a pity that the Heart of the Earth is not in the hands of Jimmy Gunter, but in the Patrick Islands, the holy land of magicians.

This trip to the sea, apart from taking the young duke Daniel and Blake back to the Principality of St. Violet on the way, to see and see the world, the main purpose is to go to the Patrick Islands to get the heart of the earth.

As for coming to Port Amplo, it was purely for supplies. After all, it was a long way to go, and even taking the Great Mage Tower would take several days, and the original supplies in the Mage Tower were not enough.

"Wu Hui, what happened to the war giant's blood you promised to get me? For this small bottle of blood, I even lent you the mage tower. You can't break your promise."

Jimmy came to Wu Hui's side at some point, his voice was constrained by the magic element into a thin beam, and it was transmitted to Wu Hui's ears without alarming anyone.

Wu Hui turned his head and saw that he was pretending not to care and turned his head to look at other places. Unfortunately, his acting skills were not very good, and there was obvious tension on his pale face because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. That way, it's like being a thief.

The war giant is one of the two envoys of light, and coveting his blood, doesn't it have to be like a thief?

He couldn't help but chuckled, flipped his left hand, and a small crystal bottle appeared in his palm, with a pool of scarlet liquid rippling slightly inside.

"What do you think this is?"

"This is..." Jimmy turned his head and pretended to look at it casually, his expression brightened immediately, "The blood of war giants!"

He reached out to grab the little bottle.

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the bottle, Wu Hui raised his hand and put away the crystal bottle, and added with a smile: "I'll give it to you when I get to the Patrick Islands."

Jimmy's face was filled with resentment, and he looked at Wu Hui as if he was looking at a heartbroken man who had started to mess up and ended up giving up.

Wu Hui was unmoved.

If he gave Jimmy the blood now, he would definitely go straight into the laboratory and never come out. At that time, who will control the Archmage Tower?

"Little bastard..."

Seeing Wu Hui's attitude, Jimmy knew that there was nothing to be done, and his expression immediately collapsed, as if he had lost hundreds of millions, which made Liliana and Daniel beside him couldn't help but glance at him.

When Wu Hui and Jimmy communicated in secret, the pleasantries between Black and the others and Viscount Taylor finally came to an end.

"Viscount Taylor said that he has prepared supplies for us, and he wants to invite us to a salon dinner while carrying the supplies." Black conveyed Viscount Taylor's meaning, and looked at the others with a questioning face, "I don't know everyone how about?"

"I hope you will give me a chance to entertain everyone." Viscount Taylor added from the side, with a humble and enthusiastic expression on his plump face, fully expressing the meaning of wanting to curry favor with a few people.

Wu Hui shrugged: "I don't care."

As long as it didn't delay his trip to the Patrick Islands, he didn't want to ask where to eat.

No one else had an opinion either. After some discussion, they decided to accept Viscount Taylor's invitation and go to his manor for a dinner party.

Viscount Taylor was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the old butler to pass on the message.

Soon, truckloads of supplies were brought in. The carts transporting goods were piled up to the brim, and they were lined up from the edge of the pier to the streets of Ampro Town, winding into a long snake.

A group of burly servants, shirtless, unloaded the supplies from the carts and carried them to the Archmage's Tower.

"Be careful, don't break the fresh-keeping water film outside the rattan basket, even knocking it is not allowed. The vegetables and fruits in the box rely on these fresh-keeping water film to keep them fresh for a long time."

The old butler narrowed his eyes and glanced at the male servants, his gaze was severe, as if he could see through everyone's tricks in trying to steal and play tricks.

Um?

Hearing the words of fresh-keeping water film, Wu Hui's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at the translucent film covering the rattan basket.

He just heard about this thing recently. It is said that it is a one-time magic item made by the magicians in the Patrick Islands. It can be used to keep vegetables and fruits fresh. This thing is a little bit expensive, but it can effectively solve the supply problem of vegetables and fruits during long-distance voyages.

It has to be said that when necessary, the abilities of that group of magicians are indeed not inferior, and they are not inferior to modern scientists.

"My lord, my lords, the carriage is ready, please follow me."

While Wu Hui was observing the plastic wrap, Viscount Taylor had already called the carriage and invited several people. Wu Hui didn't delay, he chose a carriage at random and got in it.

It had only rained a few hours ago and the road near the port was muddy. The carriage dangled on it, and occasionally bumped into stones, which was not very comfortable. Wu Hui was used to sitting in a smooth and comfortable car in his previous life, and he couldn't get used to riding in this cramped and unsteady carriage.

Fortunately, Viscount Taylor's estate is very close to the pier. After sitting in the carriage for not long, the manor arrived.

"My lord, the manor is here. Please get out of the car."

The driver respectfully opened the car door for Wu Hui. Wu Hui stepped down and looked around, feeling much better immediately.

This manor is located right by the sea, and on the right hand side is the beach with rolling waves. Under the sunset glow, the sea is sparkling, and the scenery is very good.

There are rose vines wrapped around the exquisitely crafted iron fence of the manor. I don't know what kind of rose it is, it is already midsummer, but it is still blooming brightly and colorfully. Accompanied by the sea breeze, the delicate rose petals sway slightly, exuding bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

"The dinner party is about to begin, everyone please follow me."

Viscount Taylor led the crowd towards the main building of the manor, which was used for banquets. While walking, he still did not forget to introduce the meticulously maintained scenery in the manor, such as the angel statue a century ago, the artificial fountain half a century ago, carefully cultivated Perfume roses that have been around for hundreds of years... have everything.

Wu Hui wasn't very interested in these things, he just glanced casually and then looked away. He also regarded Viscount Taylor's eloquent introduction as the background sound, and he forgot it after hearing it.

Several other people are obviously not very interested in these things. Daniel and Blake lived in the Duke's castle since they were young, so their vision is naturally not comparable to that of a little viscount. Although Liliana and Jimmy are not from high backgrounds, they are extremely powerful. They are widely respected no matter where they go, and their knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Probably seeing that the few people were not interested, Viscount Taylor also gradually closed his mouth knowingly, and instead quickened his pace, leading the few people to the main building of the manor.

In the main building, the banquet hall has been set up.

Unlike the castles built for war, the buildings in this holiday estate are exquisite and gorgeous, and under the careful decoration, they exude a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.

Some gentlemen and ladies who came earlier were already sitting on the sofa, talking in low voices with red wine glasses, their clothes fragrant and their temples shadowed, talking and laughing. Under the candlelight, the crystal goblets filled with red wine reflected brilliant brilliance, and the light and shadow floated on the complicated and gorgeous skirts of the ladies, like a dream.

Compared with the tragic and messy scene on the pier just now, everything in front of me seems to exist in another world.

Wu Hui was in a trance for a moment, almost thinking that he was watching a movie with a European medieval background.

However, he quickly reacted.

What kind of movie is this? This is a serious aristocratic salon.

Speaking of which, it has been so long since he woke up, and the nobles have killed many of them, but this is the first time he participated in a serious noble salon. No wonder he felt like he was on the wrong set for a while.

Compared to his dazzled look, the others obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with the scene in front of them. They walked in with a natural expression, and sat down at a random place.

Soon other guests noticed them and came over to greet them with glasses of wine.

Wu Hui glanced across the entire banquet hall, and found that there were quite a lot of people here. There were nobles in gorgeous costumes, heads of chambers of commerce who were well-off at first glance, and nobles who wore low-key temperament but were expensive The butler, in the corner, stood a middle-aged man wearing a black leather mask, low-key and elegant but with a good temperament, who seemed to be an aristocrat who didn't want to reveal his identity.

However, these people looked quite strange, they didn't seem to be nobles in the Thorn Territory, maybe they were Viscount Taylor's business partners.

"Everyone, I have invited a distinguished guest today, let us welcome him together."

Viscount Taylor walked to the center of the banquet hall, raised his glass, enthusiastically introduced Black's identity to everyone, and gave a welcome speech.

Viscount Taylor's speech announced the official start of the salon, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became lively.

Many gentlemen raised their wine glasses towards Black to express their welcome. There is fanaticism and reserve in each of the eyes. If it wasn't because of his tone, he would have rushed to get close to Earl Black immediately. A powerful earl who owns the fiefdom of the earldom, no matter where he goes, he is worth making friends with.

At the same time, Daniel, Liliana, Wu Hui, Jimmy and others beside Blake also received a "warm" welcome. But it was evident that it was a kind of polite enthusiasm, treating them as Blake's entourage or ordinary friends who followed to see the world.

At the same time, on the edge of the banquet hall, a specially invited band played cheerful dance music. Plate after plate of exquisite delicacies was served on the tables on both sides for the guests to take at will.

The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall became joyful and enthusiastic, and even the footsteps of the servants seemed to become a little lighter.

Wu Hui's posture was extremely relaxed, as if he was idle watching flowers bloom and fade. It's no wonder that although Wu Hui is just an ordinary person on Earth, Earth is more advanced than the Light Plane. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.

And today's Wu Hui is even more honored as the God of Light. Although this God of Light is not strong enough, after all, the gods are gods, and they look down on the world from above.

"My lord, this is the black pearl abalone I specially prepared for you."

At this moment, Viscount Taylor came over suddenly, followed by a servant carrying a golden dinner plate. On the dinner plate, a washbasin-sized abalone was wriggling slightly, exuding a fresh sea smell.

"The black pearl abalone tastes delicious, but it is only produced in a reef near the sea. The internal gaps in the reef are narrow, the undercurrent is turbulent, and there are many dangerous sea animals living there. Xiu can only go to the sea to collect it, and the annual output is only over a hundred, and most of them have to be supplied to the imperial capital, which is the most precious seafood in my territory."

The fat on Viscount Taylor's cheeks trembled slightly when he spoke, and his manners were still excellent, but there was obvious pride in his eyes.

"There are only ten black pearl abalones picked this month. I picked the biggest and fattest ones and kept two of them. I specially asked people to raise them. Only such a delicacy is worthy of the status of the Earl. "

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the servant behind him immediately came up with a gold plate.

A middle-aged cook wearing a chef's hat picked up a small silver knife and quickly dug out the abalone meat and sliced ​​it into abalone slices.

The chef randomly picks up a piece of abalone with the tip of a knife, and the abalone slice is as thin as a cicada's wing, shining through the candlelight.

"good!"

There was a burst of applause all around.

The nobles and businessmen in the banquet hall gathered at some point, applauding the chef's superb knife skills with admiration.

It is not difficult to slice abalone, but it is not easy to fillet live abalone so evenly and thinly.

During the applause, a small magic oven was brought up.

The tall and strong chef picked up a piece of crystal abalone slice with the tip of a knife, and lightly pasted it on the magic oven without fireworks, and the edge of the abalone slice immediately curled up.

In less than three seconds, the abalone slices were grilled just right, picked up again by the chef with the tip of a knife, sprinkled with the spices that had been prepared, rolled up finely, and then cut into small pieces suitable for the mouth and placed on the golden On the dinner plate.

The sweet and fresh fragrance diffused, instantly arousing everyone's appetite.

"Black pearl abalone must be killed and eaten while it is still alive. The thickness of the abalone slices should not exceed parchment paper, but it should not be too thin. If it is too thin, it will not lock the gravy. If it is too thick, it will affect the taste. Seconds, no more than three seconds, and no open flames can be seen during the roasting process, only in this way can its deliciousness be presented to the fullest."

Viscount Taylor was in a good mood and acted as a commentator. At the same time, he took the gold plate from the chef and brought it to Black with his own hands as if offering a treasure.

"Let the earl taste it."

Abalone that is as big as a washbasin is bigger than a plate even if it is thinly sliced. The thin slice unexpectedly filled a palm-sized golden dinner plate.

"Black pearl abalone is indeed a rare delicacy, and I haven't eaten it for a long time." Black said, but he didn't intend to try it, but pushed the small plate in front of Wu Hui, "Brother Wu Hui, try it. "

Viscount Taylor was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Wu Hui with suspicious eyes.

Wu Hui was attracted by the fresh scent just now, and now he didn't bother to put on a show, so he picked up the fork and put a small piece into his mouth.

The abalone slices are grilled just right, and under the elastic and tender skin is a delicious and rich gravy. The slightly spicy smell of the spices just covers up the fishy smell of the abalone slices, and the fresh fragrance of the top ingredients is perfectly highlighted. Mouth full of flavor after chewing.

One word, fresh!

It was so rare that his tongue almost fell off.

Wu Hui sighed contentedly: "Good!"

If it was on earth, he would definitely not be able to eat this top-notch delicacy. In terms of modernity, this abalone of the highest quality is estimated to be unattainable without tens of millions.

These human aristocrats really know how to enjoy themselves and are extravagant enough.

Seeing Wu Hui's reaction, Viscount Taylor had a smug look on his face, and then quickly suppressed it, signaling the chef to continue baking.

The baked abalone slices on the dinner plate were quickly divided up, but everyone who ate it couldn't help showing satisfaction on their faces, and they were full of praise for the black pearl abalone.

Even the well-informed Blake, Daniel, Liliana, and Jimmy all ate very satisfactorily.

True foodie Wu Hui is even more satisfied with his food. Sure enough, it is good to spend more time in the world. Otherwise, where can we eat such delicious food? He's already thinking about getting more black pearl abalones to breed in the Kingdom of God, eating one from time to time, and giving him, the God of Light, a little more joy in life.

A dinner party was enjoyed by both the host and the guests.

Soon, the meat and vegetables on the two tables were removed and replaced with desserts.

The guests were full of wine and food, and couldn't help but start booing.

"Viscount Taylor, although the black pearl abalone is delicious, we didn't come all the way to you for this meal." A chubby middle-aged nobleman who seemed to grow out of the same mold as Viscount Taylor raised his hand at Viscount Taylor. Picking up the wine glass, with a tacit smile on his face, "My friend, shouldn't today's topic start?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly boiled, and many people followed suit, and the entire banquet hall became inexplicably noisy.

Braden and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

What topic? Isn't the aristocratic salon just eating, drinking and chatting, what else can be the topic?

"Since everyone strongly requests, I naturally can't let everyone down." Viscount Taylor straightened his clothes and stood up from the sofa, raised his hand with a reserved smile, and clapped his hands lightly.

"Crack~"

The crisp applause instantly spread throughout the banquet hall.

The next moment, the heavy curtains on the stained floor-to-ceiling windows were suddenly lowered with a muffled sound, and the entire banquet hall was suddenly darkened.

At the same time, countless candles were lit at the same time, and the yellowish lights flickered slightly, illuminating the entire banquet hall.

A mysterious atmosphere circulated in the banquet hall, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.

Wu Hui's eyes lit up too. Could this be the legendary... after-dinner traditional program?
