Chapter 196: Please Open Your Eyes When It's Dark
"Oh my God, is this true? A floating airship can carry people to fly in the sky and travel around the world!" Sam was so excited that he couldn't himself, and Scott and Eric were also curious.
Sean nodded and said seriously: "Of course, I have explained it very clearly in the book. Airships are somewhat similar to hot air balloons in principle. Although they are more complicated, they can still be built. Unfortunately, they cannot be built in terms of craftsmanship..."
Stroke looked yearning, "If I have money, I must build one. If I go out for a trip, I will ride my own airship, which is much more majestic than taking a boat."
Eric's heart moved. If he inherited the throne of duke, maybe...
Throughout the afternoon, several people were reading Sean's manuscript, discussing whether the technology described in the book could be realized. Several people even gave some opinions. Sam Dent was particularly excited about this. In contrast, Emily and Melisson seemed less excited. However, for the sake of the gold coin, they could not be said to be disappointed.
In the evening, Sean entertained several people in the banquet hall. He asked them to stay and wait for a while, and he went to prepare today's dinner himself.
When Sean left, the five students immediately started to discuss excitedly.
"Professor Sean is so cool. I really wish I had the opportunity to go adventures with him, and his new book - oh, it's a pity that I haven't finished writing it yet, so I really can't wait to read the story later." Sam Dent was very excited.
Eric was much calmer, and there was no fan filter, allowing him to look at this matter with a more normal mindset, which made him discover something strange.
"Don't you think Professor Sean is a little strange? I thought there was something to do when he invited us here, but it seemed that he was just showing us his adventures and trophy, and his new book..."
"What if he doesn't matter, I think this trip is quite valuable, and there are gold coins to get. This is a good thing. This kind of ancient gold coins are very valuable." Slater said, and couldn't help but take out the gold coins and play with them.
"What do you think you will eat tonight?"
"I'm afraid it won't be too sumptuous. After all, Professor Sean has only one person, so he shouldn't be able to cook, right?"
Several people agreed very much about this. They lived alone in such a big castle and were another writer. I guess they could just make some stews or cereal porridge to deal with it.
In a short while, Sean appeared outside the door of the banquet hall, and a scent followed, "You must not be able to wait, come on, come on, help me."
Sean walked in with a dining cart, and he was wearing an apron, which surprised the few people. Their professor not only knew how to write books, but dared to take risks, but he actually looked decent when cooking. Cooking things are not like what a gentleman should do, but he acted extremely naturally.
Sean brought the prepared dishes to the banquet table one by one, and as the food was put out one by one, the fragrance suddenly spread in the banquet hall.
"Wow, it smells so good, what is this?" Emily was also very excited. The dishes in front of her were all that she had never seen before.
"This is a northern delicacy from Nord. I learned it from a local chef when I was taking the adventure at Nord. It tasted pretty good." Sean said, introducing some home-cooked dishes such as pork buns, braised lion heads, fried eggplant boxes, stir-fried potato shreds, and finally a large plate of toast and a bowl of cereal porridge.
Several people were very surprised. It was a bit amazing to cook so many dishes by one person.
In fact, of course, this was not done by Sean alone. Most of it was credited by the short goblins. Sean was only responsible for technical guidance.
The meal was very enjoyable. Sean also opened two bottles of red wine. Several people ate delicious food and drank delicious wine while listening to Sean telling his adventure story. It was very pleasant.
The candlelight illuminated the banquet hall, but there were still some dark shadows in the corner. There was a sound of wind outside the window, and some wild grass and shrubs were blowing in, making Sean's story particularly atmosphere.
Several people burst out with a burst of awesome or laughter from time to time. Sean talked about the story of hunting direwolfs, and encountered the Sults, describing the magnificence of the City of Gods...
After eating for two hours, I drank several bottles of red wine, and then the dinner ended.
"Okay, I think it's time to rest. I'll send a carriage to take you back tomorrow. Let's have a good sleep tonight."
Sean brought a few people to their respective rooms. The rooms were old, but they were still clean.
After arranging a few people's rest, Sean left.
Eric lay on the bed and felt that he had a rare relaxation tonight. Since he was brought to the swordsman's manor from the countryside by his cheap father, his mind has been very depressed. He fantasized about his father when he was very young. However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was disappointed. Although the Duke of Lanster was prominent and full of majesty, he even entered Lanster's manor and had the opportunity to inherit the title in the future. For him, he was undoubtedly a "noble man".
But he couldn't feel any care from his father. Even though he had known each other for so long, Duke Lanster had never really asked about his past life. It seemed that everything was just to inherit his bloodline. In order to perform well, he was walking on thin ice and tried hard to make all arrangements, for fear of making a fool of himself.
But after all, he was just an ignorant young man from the countryside. He could not adapt to his new life in less than a year. Only in this castle far away from the city, facing Professor Sean, who is knowledgeable but close to and easy-going, can he take off his guard and show a little bit of self.
Alas, I am still too sensitive. I thought too much before, but in fact there is no need. Professor Sean is indeed a very knowledgeable and respectable person.
He thought about this and gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took-
Bang bang! Bang bang bang! A fierce knock on the door woke him up from his sleep.
He walked to the door in a daze and opened it. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Professor Sean wearing a black robe and looking at him with a serious face. Four other people standing behind him, who were also sleepy.
"Put it and follow me." Sean threw a black robe to him, and Eric took it over and was surprised and nervous. What does this mean?
But he did as he did. Professor Sean was very easy-going during the day, giving him the feeling of being an old friend, natural and friendly. But when he was stern, Eric felt a majesty that could not be disobeyed, a kind of a superior momentum, which was stronger than the feeling his father gave him.
It makes people subconsciously dare not disobey.
He put on a black robe and found it to be a garment similar to a wizard's cloak.
He noticed that others were wearing similar costumes, and standing together looked a bit like a group of mysterious cultists.
"Come with me."
Sean said, turning around and walking downstairs. Several people followed behind, exchanging eyes with each other. They were both nervous, excited, and even a little scared. Where should the professor take them? What should he do? Should he join a secret mysterious organization or conduct evil sacrifices?
Sean walked in front and said to himself: "You must be curious why I would wake you up, where to take you and what to do, remember what I said a few days ago? I will show you the ancient taboo, that mysterious wisdom, that knowledge that no one has seen. Yes, you are about to see all this, and see the mystery beyond your imagination. I hope you are ready, because when everything begins, there will be no way out."
The light of the torch reflected around the downward stairs, and the shadows were beating in the darkness. Eric felt extremely nervous. They seemed to be moving downward and came to the hall on the first floor, but they were still moving downward.
