Li Yu was awakened by the sound of noisy musical instruments.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright sunlight coming in from the window. The heat and color of the sunlight indicated that it should be morning, maybe not far from noon.

He sat on a strange bed and reacted for two seconds before coming back to his senses.

This is a hotel. In other words, it is one of the most upscale hotels in Baghdad.

The backpack, which he had only carried for a day but was already very familiar to him, was placed on the bedside table within reach. He took the backpack and weighed it to make sure that the weight had not changed.

This means that the person in the bag is still there.

Ella's voice came from the earphones: "Hey, is this how you say good morning?"

Li Yu: "Is there any problem?"

Ella: "It's better to say 'good morning'."

Li Yu said calmly: "Well, good morning."

Ella: "There is no one around now. It is polite to look at me when you say good morning."

Li Yu felt a little strange.

From the girl's tone, he could tell that it was different from the cold state of yesterday. Her lively temper seemed to have changed back.

He put the bag on his lap, unzipped it, stared down at the girl, and said, "Good morning."

Ella snapped her fingers with her remaining right hand: "This is the right thing!"

Li Yu smiled: "Your request is quite troublesome."

"What trouble? This is just basic..." Halfway through the words, Ella's expression suddenly changed, "Wait a minute, someone is coming!"

Li Yu immediately zipped up, and then heard footsteps approaching outside the door.

Soon, the door was knocked, and the sound was accompanied by Yiai's slightly timid voice: "Fa... uh, are you awake yet?"

Li Yu raised his voice and said, "I'm already awake. What's the matter?"

"Well, we're getting ready for lunch. Do you want to come with us?"

"Give me five minutes."

"OK."

The sound of Yiai's footsteps faded away.

Li Yu put his bag aside and got up to get dressed.

Yesterday in the clothing store, he picked out three new sets of clothes. But because they were tailor-made, he had to wait a few days. So at this time he could only wear the set of clothes from yesterday, a simple gladiator battle suit.

Of course, you have to put on a robe again.

In the dry desert area, high temperature is like a physical attack. As long as you are not exposed to direct sunlight, the body temperature can be tolerated. Therefore, compared with light robes to protect the sun, short-sleeved clothes are actually hotter.

He put on his robe, opened the door and walked out of the room. After walking a short distance along the corridor, he saw the noble young man and four guards waiting for him.

One of the guards explained: "Captain John went to the restaurant to grab a seat. Shall we go over now?"

"Let's go."

After Yiai finished his instructions, he subconsciously glanced at Li Yu beside him.

This hotel has four floors. The upper three floors are guest rooms, while the ground floor is the reception hall and restaurant. The seat occupied by John, the captain of the guard, is in this restaurant.

The table was not big, and it obviously couldn't seat six people. Moreover, there were only two chairs. But in the blink of an eye, Li Yu realized that only he and Yiai should be eating at the table, and the guards were not allowed to eat at the same table.

There is no way to be particular when you are drinking porridge around a campfire in the wild. When you arrive at a restaurant, you have to distinguish your status.

The two of them had just sat down and within a few minutes, the food was served.

But the first dish made Li Yu couldn't help but frown.

The soup came first, served in two small bowls. There were potatoes and mint powder visible in the soup, and there was butter floating on the surface, but the soup was white.

Li Yu originally thought it was cream soup, but after taking a sip, he realized something was wrong - the soup was full of thick white liquid, which was yogurt!

The taste is quite amazing.

Li Yu took two sips, smacked the taste, and put down the spoon.

John, the captain of the guard, who was standing aside, asked: "Don't you like this kind of soup?"

"That's okay. What other dishes are there besides this?"

The captain of the guard, John, glanced at Iea who was drinking happily and replied respectfully: "It should be barbecue."

Li Yu's eyes lit up.

However, two minutes later, the new dish brought by the waiter was not barbecue, but rice wrapped in grape leaves.

Here, the grape leaves play the role of rice dumpling leaves, wrapping the rice inside just like rice dumplings, but the shape is long. On the plate, in addition to these long grape leaves wrapping rice, there are several other articles

Lemon as garnish.

Li Yu tasted one, then another, and another. He had to admit that this thing tasted pretty good.

Next, the barbecue is served.

The mutton and chicken skewered on wooden skewers are marinated, wrapped in fat, and sprinkled with seasonings, giving off a steaming aroma. The aroma contains traces of the Maillard reaction and is full of the flavor of fat and protein, making people want to stop eating.

.

Pick up a skewer, bite off the meat, and chew it in your mouth. The texture will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which encourages diners to finish their meal quickly before taking another skewer...

A plate of barbecued meat, with a total of twenty skewers, was quickly eaten by the two of them.

Then came the desserts.

The gummies with the scent of roses tasted good, but Li Yu only ate one. It was too sweet for him.

After a meal, the barbecue that impressed him most was the barbecue, and the other items didn't quite suit his taste. And since there were no chopsticks, he had to use a spoon or just use his hands, which he wasn't used to.

Of course, compared to the arena in the Kingdom of God, the food in this restaurant is already great. At least they are all fresh ingredients that have been carefully cooked, rather than mushy food in a tube and squeezed out like toothpaste——

Not to mention the taste of that kind of thing, it is only a little salty and has no other effect except filling the stomach.

As the lunch came to an end, Yiai suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have always called you Master Mage. I'm really sorry, but I still don't know your name."

"Li, you can just call me Mr. Li."

Yiai was a little confused: "Only one syllable? Is this your real name or a code name?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "The so-called real name is nothing more than a code name, there is no difference."

Yiai nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li, we are going to the church to send a letter now. Do you want to go with us?"

Send a letter? Go to church?

Li Yu thought about it and immediately realized that these nobles did not have anything similar to a mobile phone. To communicate over long distances, they actually needed to go to church. In other words, the Kingdom of God also monopolized the communication industry in the mortal world.

It's good to go to the church and see things, but for people who have just escaped from the floating city, it seems to be a big danger.

Li Yu thought for a while and asked first: "Why send a letter?"

Yiai answered honestly: "Because I feel it is necessary to confirm the situation at home. For example, whether the eldest brother and the second brother have completely fallen out, how is my father's condition recovering, what is the situation in the palace... I am leaving

I’ve been with you for a long time, and you still need to understand these things.”

Li Yu smiled faintly: "Don't you dare to go home without asking clearly?"

Yiai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Maybe."

Li Yu: "But the letters sent to Yazd City need someone to receive them. Aren't you powerless at home? Who can help?"

Yiai: "I forgot to tell you before that the main family line of my generation, that is, my father's children, has a total of four people. In addition to me and my two brothers, there is also a sister. My two brothers

They are both quite ambitious and vicious, but my sister is different from them all. Moreover, my sister and I have a good relationship, so she will definitely be willing to help me with this."

Li Yu: "Oh, you actually have a younger sister?"
