Andrew did not lift the table, nor did he intend to warm up with Sigrid. His education and the pride of the nobility did not allow him to behave in such a vulgar way.
Compared with these two actions, Andrew hoped that after Lu Yu could not answer his questions perfectly and his identity was exposed, he would let his servants wrap a rope around Lu Yu's neck and lead him to parade.
Andrew sat down, facing the tempting meal, he was extremely reserved, his sharp eyes firmly locked on Lu Yu's face.
Lu Yu ignored Andrew's offensive gaze. He finished his lunch slowly and drank a bowl of delicious beef soup.
If Andrew hadn't been there, he would have burped happily.
Lu Yu stood up and led Andrew to the front hall.
After sitting down again, Lu Yu picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then glanced sideways at Andrew.
"You have a lot of questions. Please ask them one by one. Otherwise, even if I answer them, can you remember them?"
After speaking, Lu Yu waved his hand.
Sigrid left and returned, and quills, ink, and paper were placed in front of Andrew.
"I'll give you a little knowledge. The human brain will deceive you. Sometimes it will 'make up' some vague, non-existent memories based on one's own guesses."
"I don't want to face a lot of criticism because of your bad memory, Viscount."
Andrew picked up the pen and said righteously: "It would be best if your identity is correct. The kingdom has always been friendly to nobles from other countries."
Lu Yu didn't bother to argue about whether he was friendly or not, and waved his hand again: "Start asking."
Andrew recalled the words of his teacher Old Drake and began to ask.
"Your Excellency Lu Yu, first tell me, which country conferred your title?"
Sigrid looked at her master nervously.
Who else knows better than her that her master is not a knight at all, but an ordinary person, and everything he does now is acting.
He was cautious because he didn't want to cause trouble, but now he was being questioned because of a title.
Sigrid was thinking about countermeasures.
If Andrew discovers a flaw, maybe he can strike first?
With this thought, she walked out of the front hall with a smile, served Andrew tea in the name of making tea, and then stood not far behind him.
Lu Yu didn't know Sigrid's plan, but officially entered the state.
"Serys."
Andrew took up his pen and wrote the word Seris on the paper.
"Is this the land and country that gave birth to you?"
"yes."
Andrew raised his head, and his blue eyes suddenly showed a strong curiosity.
"Where is Siris located?"
Lu Yu only found it funny. If he told Andrew that he was in another world, I wonder what he would think?
"I don't know where Siris is. My trip was entirely due to an accident."
Immediately afterwards, he made up a youthful version of the explosion in Lulutis' laboratory, but with slightly more details.
While Andrew was writing this down, he was shocked by the coincidence that happened to Lu Yu and his amazing luck.
Entering the depths of the underground palace rich in magical power, he encountered an army commanded by the Goblin King. He used magic to blow up the underground palace to stop it, triggering a series of collapses. Before being buried alive, he dueled with the Goblin King on the altar and killed his brother. King Breen used his blood to activate the broken altar, and finally teleported away at the moment of the big explosion caused by the surge of magic power...
Andrew rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked at the details he had written down, and sorted them out a little.
"That is to say, you triggered a broken teleportation magic because of an unexpected sacrificial ceremony...and then this teleportation magic provided an unstable increase due to the huge magic power disturbance, and finally teleported you to an unknown land in one breath?"
It makes sense, but it's a bit too forced.
Andrew also knew that this kind of thing was difficult to question because he had no way to verify it, so the search turned to details that could easily expose the scammers.
"What is the title that Siris conferred upon you?"
"Marquis."
Lu Yu originally set himself the template of a duke, but felt that it was too high-profile, so he demoted himself to a noble title.
The quill in Andrew's hand shook, and the ink traces made an arc on the paper.
"Marquis?" Andrew verified.
"Yes, Marquis, and I am different from you. I have my own territory, and I have been given the important task of opening up and reclaiming wasteland by the king of Seris."
Lu Yu smiled, enjoying Andrew's embarrassment.
With the help of the books left in the mansion and his observations during this period, Lu Yu finally figured out some of the ways of the Yas Kingdom.
Yas I purged the surrounding small countries and small lords. His purpose was to establish a feudal system in which power was concentrated in himself and did not rely on the feudal lord system to maintain authority.
In other words, if the land of Yas Kingdom does not become my vassal, it is not my vassal.
Everything in this land belongs to the royal family of Yas.
However, Yas I obviously failed to do it. It can be seen from some records that he encountered that he encountered great resistance.
What the lords from various places who were integrated into the Kingdom of Yas needed was a powerful "city-state" to protect them, the landowners who ruled on their respective lands.
They don't need a "tyrant" who will cancel his land ownership, confiscate, and disband their army.
The price paid for maintaining the rule of the Kingdom of Yas is to recognize the legitimacy of these outside lords.
A powerful king like Yas I would not dare to continue the reform at this stage. Once the core interests of the major nobles are involved, they will quickly unite and attack the royal city for their own interests.
It was also because of this that King Yas I issued that decree.
"It is forbidden for major lords to build city-state outer walls."
Force free people to move closer to the royal city, weakening the power of each territory.
When Yas II came to the throne, he inherited the will of his whole life and was extremely strict with the canonized lords. Even if they were canonized, they were his direct descendants and completely obeyed his orders.
The existence of nobility but no fief also started from this period.
There are many nobles in the royal city, but the ones who really have the right to speak and have influence are the lords who own private territories.
There is a clear gap between real titles and virtual titles.
Viscount Andrew, his family lives in the royal city, and even the land is a reward from the royal family. Those who are not given in the form of canonization are full-fledged virtual titles.
Lu Yu exclaimed in disbelief when he learned such confusing information for the first time.
This Royal City of Yas is the ultimate suture monster that integrates slavery, lordship, and monarchy into one system.
The royal family wanted to completely transform into an absolute monarchy, while the nobles tried to restore the feudal system.
The struggle between the two parties has led to this wonderful situation today.
They have managed to maintain such chaos for nearly fifty years... Should we say that it is not easy for everyone?
No. 1 in extreme pulling!
Marquis, a real prince with a territory, these two points put a lot of pressure on Andrew.
"I wonder if there are any unique things in the surrounding areas of Siris Kingdom, Lord Marquis?"
Lu Yu said without thinking: "Sickle, hammer and street lamp."
Andrew was stunned for several seconds and said nonchalantly: "What you mentioned is also available in the Kingdom of Yas. Is there any difference?"
Lu Yu laughed loudly: "Just kidding."
After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Yu said: "In our place, electricity is an element that can be tamed. People put it into pipes and connected it to thousands of households to provide them with lighting."
"People no longer use lamps and torches for lighting."
Andrew wrote quickly, and after finishing writing, he looked at the words he had recorded in a daze.
“Is Siris’s magic power so rich, or are you near some inexhaustible thunder and lightning elemental field?
"How can your resources support such a huge project? How many magicians are needed to control and adjust these 'pipes'?"
He did not ask these doubts out loud, but secretly remembered them, waiting to find loopholes in the next answers and expose these lies in one fell swoop.
Andrew didn't believe there was such a fantasy country in the world.
A magician who can control thunder and lightning wastes so much magic power to provide "light" for the people at the bottom.
Wouldn't a torch and a cheap scaly powder burning stick suffice?
The people at the bottom rest at sunset. Only adventurers who need adventure will be active at night, and they do not need the thunder and lightning elements flowing in those pipes.
This clumsy lie was so ridiculous that Andrew couldn't bear to expose Lu Yu, an aristocratic liar, and wanted to see what kind of jokes he could throw out in his head full of fantasy.
Lu Yu also realized that this was something that transcended the logic of thinking in this world, so he kept in mind his mistake at this moment, and then he stopped talking about "scientific magical descriptions" and instead talked about how to make various delicacies. .
Blood duck, Dong'an chicken, double crispy fried in oil, braised sea cucumber with green onion, rock sugar elbow, beer fish, short crispy pork, braised liver tip, braised pork, pepper and sesame chicken, cumin mutton, taro pork, mushroom beef...
Some are homely and some are not.
Lu Yu not only talked about it, but also selected a few dishes that made Andrew salivate when he heard the name and explained in detail how to make them.
Thanks to the food in the school cafeteria that was worthy of raising ancient gods, Lu Yu's dormitory started a culinary arms race in the study of gourmet food.
So much so that at this moment, he only needs to think back to the cooking videos that everyone watched together to recall the recipe.
"Gululu..."
Lu Yu's narration was interrupted.
Andrew, who was writing with a pen, did not raise his head.
Lu Yu thought it was time and asked Sigrid to go to the kitchen to fetch rice and another dish.
A small table was placed next to Andrew. After Sigrid finished her work, Lu Yu curled his lips.
"Viscount Andrew, in Siris, we are very particular about food. Since you want to judge the authenticity of my identity, why don't you try our meals yourself?"
Andrew raised his head, first glanced at the tomato beef brisket and garlic beef on the table, and then quickly glanced at Sigrid and Lu Yu.
He swallowed, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Lu Yu.
Andrew pulled the table closer to the small table where he took notes, picked up his rice bowl and started eating.
Lu Yu glanced proudly at the shadow not far away.
"He ate my meal, and the rest will be much easier."
"What, you drugged him?" Lulutis exclaimed in the chat room.
Lu Yu was choked by Lulutis.
Are you such a despicable person?
Seeing that Andrew had already eaten half the bowl of rice, Lu Yu asked kindly.
"How is the cooking skills of us Seris people?"
Andrew's face turned red when he heard this.
He said cautiously: "No... yes, it would be better if there was a bowl of soup... The rice that the Marquis eats doesn't seem to be very easy to swallow..."
It’s weird that it’s easy to swallow. It’s already cold. I told you to eat it while it was hot and you didn’t eat it. Who’s to blame?
