Chapter 141 Eleanor wants to drink
Only then did Eli realize that he had met a colleague.
It's just that although he is from a noble family, he doesn't like most of the officials in the empire. Although the corruption problem within the empire is not serious due to the pressure of the war with the demons, it is still inevitable for all countries (Elf Empire) Except) common characteristics.
Eli didn't know whether the imperial official in front of him was good or bad, but his first reaction was that he didn't want to have any further contact with him. He was from the battlefield, not the officialdom, and there was no need to get familiar with any imperial official, even if He is his current colleague.
"Is it Hans Hotel? I understand, but there is no need for a dinner party. I just want to have a quiet meal with my family, so I won't bother this adult."
Although he did not want to have too much contact with them, Eli still maintained the basic etiquette and just declined the arrangement of the imperial official with a smile.
This reaction to Eli was actually expected by the imperial official. After all, the city lord in front of him was born in the noble Bruno family, and he himself was a high-ranking saint-level powerhouse. He and their group It's not on the same level at all.
Even though they are now working together in a small town by fate, the gap in identity and status makes it difficult for them to mix together. It is normal for them to be rejected. At least the city lord is extremely polite, speaks appropriately, and does not directly throw off face. Drive him away.
"Then I will leave first. I wish the Lord and his ladies a pleasant meal."
Having been in the officialdom for many years, this imperial official was also a well-informed and knowledgeable person, so he consciously left on his own.
Before leaving, he did not forget to point out the direction of Hans Hotel to Eli, so that the Lord, who was not very familiar with the new Demon Hunting City, would go the wrong way.
Following the guidance of kind-hearted people, Eli and his party quickly found the Hans Hotel. It was said to be a hotel, but in fact it was a three-story building that operated food and beverage businesses. The building was newly built and well-decorated. It's not bad. Although it can't be called luxury, it can be regarded as the only one in the emerging small town.
Because Alyssa was following him, Eli's identity was completely known. Passers-by couldn't help but look at him curiously on the way here. When he entered the hotel, the shrewd hotel owner naturally knew that a distinguished guest was coming.
"Dear City Lord, welcome to the shop. If you need anything, just ask. Hans will do his best to serve you..."
Old Hans, the owner of Hans Hotel, was just a commoner. Although he made a little fortune in the Demon Hunting City, compared with the big nobles, he was just a small ant. Now, he can only do his best to please him. At least the nobles won't hit the smiling man, right?
"Just follow the menu. We'll leave as soon as we're done. No need to bother you... Oh, by the way, we'll pay for it."
Eli took a few beautiful girls and found a seat in the hall to sit down. He casually ordered the waiter who came over cautiously. As for Alyssa, she sat at a table by herself, just next to them.
That is to say, there are not many rich people in the Demon Hunting City. Although the business of Hans Hotel is good, it is not always full. At least the original customers are not driven away because of the arrival of Eli and others.
However, at this time, the customers in the hall had forgotten to enjoy the food. They all looked at Eli and others with different expressions, most of them were curious, and some of them were surprised.
Although we are separated by several tables, I am still having dinner with the Lord, right?
"Last one? Okay... Okay, we'll get ready right away!"
The waiter and boss Hans were stunned for a moment when the Lord of the City ordered an entire menu without even looking at the menu, but fortunately they were both alert and quickly agreed and went to tell the chef to work hard.
Under the personal supervision of the boss, the hotel's kitchen prepared the dishes very quickly. It didn't take long for the delicious, delicious dishes to be placed on Eli's table.
"Is there any wine? Come on, five... ten bottles of good wine!"
Compared with others, Eleanor is the least polite person. She has a dwarf ancestry and has a straightforward personality. She also loves wine.
I had been on the battlefield before. Drinking was not allowed in the army. After getting off the battlefield, I had been on the road and had forgotten about this incident. Until now, I was sitting in the hotel lobby and smelled the aroma of wine coming from the guests at other tables. , her greed was immediately hooked.
"This guest, we do have wine, but..."
The hotel owner, Hans, was respectfully waiting on the side. When he heard Eleanor's request for a drink, he looked at Eli cautiously and did not dare to accept it directly.
No matter how you look at it, this little guest doesn't look like he's an adult. The empire has laws that prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors. Although the Demon Hunting City is remote, it is still within the empire. Of course, it must abide by the laws of the empire. Law.
Of course, if the Lord of the City speaks in person, even if it violates the law, Hans can only serve him wine. After all, in the Demon Hunting City, the Lord of the City is the law.
"Bring the wine, this is Eleanor Imbas, the princess of the dwarf kingdom. She is twenty-one years old this year. Don't treat her like a child, or if she beats you, I won't be able to stop her... …”
Because Eleanor's appearance was so deceptive, it was reasonable for the hotel owner to misunderstand her, and Eli had no choice but to explain, otherwise the little glutton would go crazy.
"It turns out that he is a distinguished guest from the Dwarf Kingdom. Hans is rude. I will go get the best wine and bring it to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Hearing the words of the Lord of the City, Hans secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately apologized to the angry Eleanor with a smile.
As expected of the Lord of the City, even the little girl beside him is not an ordinary person, I can't afford to offend him...
Soon, ten bottles of fine wine were served on the table. Although they were called the best wine, they were only the best wine in Hans Hotel. The Demon Hunting City was so remote, and it was very troublesome to transport wine and water. No matter how good the wine they could supply was, it was not much better.
Fortunately, Eleanor was a good child who was not picky about food. As long as the wine was strong enough, it would be fine, and she didn't care about the quality of the wine.
"Ha... It's so enjoyable! I haven't felt so happy for a long time!"
Poured a full glass of wine for herself, tilted her neck and gulped it down, Eleanor made a satisfied sound.
Except for Eleanor, only Eli was willing to drink two glasses. Others were not interested in wine. Compared with sweet drinks, it was spicy when drinking and headache after drinking. I don't know what's the point of drinking wine.
Especially Cecilia, she had been fooled by this thing before, so she would never drink it if she could avoid it, so as to avoid deformation of the operation at the critical moment.
