Chapter 1484 1156. The mythical beast Bai Ze
Lan En and Wu Ming arrived at the banquet room first.
Four tables are arranged on the left and right, and the difference between the host and the guests can be seen.
The rooms are not luxurious. In fact, the Iwamura Castle Castle Tower, which is mainly used for military purposes, does not have very luxurious rooms at all.
They basically have tung oil wood floors, and the surrounding walls are hung with scrolls, decorative folding fans, or weapons.
Even the screens are only painted with very simple landscape paintings.
There was only some tea and fruits on the small table, and the table area was not large.
It seems that the banquet is carried out in a round-by-round manner where dishes are served and plates are removed.
"You keep sniffing." Lan En sipped the tea nonchalantly and said with a smile to Wu Ming, "Does your nose work well?"
The teapot contains ordinary brewed tea, not the kind of matcha that needs to be carefully prepared by the so-called "tea master" in the tea room.
The more and more tedious steps there are, and the more famous the person who handles the steps is, the more ritualistic and artistic an event will appear.
To be honest, if Lan En is forced to appreciate it, he can also appreciate the artistry of tea ceremony, but if he likes it, ordinary tea is more to his liking.
"But it tastes delicious."
Wu Ming tried hard to imitate Lan En's way of sitting casually and making it hard for anyone to find fault. Unfortunately, after trying it many times, she realized that she was not good at this kind of thing at all, so she simply continued to sit cross-legged in her own style.
"The smell is obviously barbecue, right? It seems like the city lord must have hunted something good."
Lan En smelled more details than she did.
Ando Mamoru prepared grilled bird meat, which should be water birds such as egrets. In Japan, this dish seems to be called "yakiniku".
It seems that due to the prosperity of Buddhism, Japan considers the meat of animals to be unclean, so it is generally not eaten.
Even if they want to eat, they have to eat meat from poultry and seafood.
Of course, this is just a saying. If a person is extremely hungry, he can eat even human beings, not to mention mere ‘unclean’ animal meat?
This has basically become a means for noble people to show their noble status.
For high-intensity consumption professions such as samurai, they don't care about eating meat. After all, fighting to determine life and death is the most pragmatic activity.
The more you eat and practice, the more you can hack others to death before you are hacked to death yourself. Simple and clear.
But this time, it seems that because he wanted to entertain Lan En, who was not sure what to do, Ando Mamoru arranged for bird meat that complied with the rules but was not easy to obtain.
But it’s strange that Mamoru Ando has clearly paid attention to the dishes, but he hasn’t attended with his son-in-law until now.
It is not considered etiquette to ask guests to wait at the banquet table.
‘Maybe tonight’s banquet will be more interesting. ’
Lan En speculated playfully in his heart.
He wanted to find and eliminate as soon as possible the source of the "filth" that he had investigated and was spreading like a plague.
But if you want to adjust your user registration information, you must make adjustments in terms of human relations and sophistication.
This is now the belated welcome banquet.
Communication is an indispensable part of the process of doing things.
And indeed, Wu Ming and Lan En didn't have to wait long. Ando Mamoru and his son-in-law, who had also changed clothes and washed off their dust, walked quickly from the side door of the room.
Wu Ming's hands supported his crossed knees, his expression a little surprised.
Because compared to Ando Mamoru, who was just 'welcoming' in front of the castle tower, now the Lord of the City looks almost a bit 'fearful and flattering'.
To put it simply: he actually seemed a little reserved in his castle tower.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Turning his head, Lan En found Wu Ming chewing roasted bird skewers with his mouth bulging, and his eyes looking at him with the same surprise.
The demon hunter had only seen the velvet ball and knew that Lan En's 'Ninja Cat' was possessed by [Shan Cha]. She was now equally surprised that there was a guardian spirit around this person.
The careful and discerning Hanbei Takenaka noticed the expressions of both of them.
"Please don't make your companion sad just to clear up the relationship, Mr. Lan En. You see, Miss Wuming is also shocked."
Wu Ming stopped chewing now and opened his watery eyes wide, looking at Lan En next to him and then at the Hanbei opposite.
"I just hope that I can have a frank chat with you." Hanbei Takenaka still said sincerely. "My teacher can also join in the conversation if you wish."
"I think even if I say this is a misunderstanding, you won't believe it. After all, smart people believe in themselves." Lan En scratched his cheek with a dull expression, "But who is the teacher you are talking about?"
There was a flash of dreamy brilliance, and a long-bearded goat like an old scholar appeared in the void.
It was still stunned for a while, then shook its head and then turned to Lan En's direction. The hands and hooves behind its back stretched out and shook it.
"Oh, hello."
Lan En raised his eyebrows, but still looked at the old scholar goat and nodded: "Good evening."
"Speaking?!" Wu Ming, on the other hand, acted surprised, "Can your guardian spirit still talk and communicate?"
Lan En looked at Wu Ming, and then looked at the old scholar goat in mid-air.
It turns out this is not normal.
He has only met four guardian spirits, and the sample size is not enough, so he dare not make a direct judgment.
"I'm special."
The goat clasped his hands behind his back and nodded friendly towards Wu Mingye.
"The teacher's true form is [Shirasawa]." Takenaka Hanbei introduced his guardian spirit to Lan En and Wu Ming with the respectful gesture of introducing the teacher.
"The legendary beast that can understand all things. It came from the Western Continent."
Having said this, Hanbei took a deep look at Lan En.
"He knows people's words and can get rid of diseases. Therefore, although the image of the teacher is different due to its wide spread, he often appears on amulets from high-ranking officials to ordinary traders, or placed on pillows."
"So that's it, it's really amazing." Lan En politely praised Bai Ze in mid-air.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." The old scholar goat smiled with a trembling voice, "Guardian spirits are not just superficially capable of increasing strength. Each one has its own specialties. For example, it is [Eight Hundred Porky Queen]."
"Eh? My guardian spirit?"
"Yes, your guardian spirit can bless you with immortality, little girl! It's just like the legendary effect of eating mermaid flesh."
"From this point of view, it doesn't seem surprising that I can think and communicate with humans, right?"
Looking at the teacher who floated in front of Wu Ming, Takenaka Hanbei still looked at Lan En who looked like he had "learned new knowledge".
"To be honest, you must first show sincerity, and now my sincerity is obvious."
He clenched his hands into fists, placed them on both sides of his knees where he was sitting cross-legged, and bowed to Lan En.
"Please also show your sincerity, Lord Lan En."
"The two guardian spirits are lurking in the dark. Regardless of whether they are malicious or not, it is really disturbing."
Lan En scratched his head and looked at Takenaka Hanbei opposite, who said, "I won't get up if you don't agree."
"It's not because they don't come to the city because they have any bad intentions or because they're planning to do something. I'm just afraid they'll scare you."
"No matter what." Hanbei still bowed, his voice even more calm and firm, "Please."
"Since you say so. Tsk."
Lan En curled his lips, and his fingers were already rubbing the magic ring on his hand.
An instant later, lightning flashed across the sky above Iwamura City!
