Chapter 1008 The Purpose of Meeting
Near Baihua Town, the three of them landed on the ground.
In a pavilion located in the sea of flowers, Crest sat quietly with his eyes closed in meditation.
Arriving at the edge of the sea of flowers, Weilin tidied up his messy hair and walked towards the pavilion.
A few minutes later, when Weilin was a few meters away from the pavilion, Crest opened his eyes, stood up, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Baihua Town."
"Meet Mr. Crest."
The three of them bowed and saluted to show their respect.
"No need for the empty formalities, just follow me."
Waving his hand to help the three people up, Crest turned and walked towards the center of the town.
Seeing this, Weilin followed him while keeping a certain distance.
Kyle and Celeste followed behind Weilin, one on each side, and left the pavilion along the stone path.
On the edge of the sea cliff, the breeze blew and the sound of wind chimes echoed in the air.
"teacher."
Crest nodded slightly, motioning for everyone to sit down, then went to the open-air kitchen, picked up a knife, and started processing the Windsor fish that was caught from the waters of the Hainas Canyon.
Weilin came to sit at the round table, looked at Kleist's back, and asked in a low voice: "Is this Kleist's hobby?"
Hearing this, the old man nodded and responded: "When meeting guests or visiting friends, the teacher will show off his cooking skills."
“It’s a really unique hobby.”
After expressing his feelings, Weilin stopped asking questions and sat down quietly.
Half an hour later, six dishes were served on the round table.
Weilin sniffed the fragrance of the air and couldn't help swallowing.
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Kyle's eyes flashed with shock. Compared with Crest's cooking skills, he felt a little ashamed.
Celeste's calm expression disappeared, replaced by a hesitant look. The food in front of him was tempting him.
Kleist removed the stains on his body, sat down at the main seat, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this after we enjoy the food."
"I haven't done it for three years, so I'm a little rusty. Let me try it first to see how it tastes."
After saying this, Kleist cut a piece of fish with a knife and placed it on the plate in front of him. He then picked up the fork, picked up the fish, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Seeing this, the other four began to enjoy their food.
Putting a piece of fish into your mouth feels like you are in the sea or flying in the clouds.
“Incorporating touch into food gives it a very real feel!”
Weilin muttered as he chewed.
Half an hour later, all six dishes were finished.
The old man stood up and cleaned up the mess, leaving the round table to leave room for his teacher and Weilin and the other two to talk.
"Mr. Crest, the food you cook is truly amazing." Weilin said, breaking the silence.
Crest smiled and said, "I am very happy that the food I made can be praised by you."
As they chatted, they got down to business and returned to the purpose of their meeting.
"Mr. Crest, you invited us here for more than just a simple meeting."
With a meaningful smile, Kleist did not answer directly, but asked in return: "You might as well guess what my purpose is."
Weilin asked tentatively: "Factional dispute?"
"No." Kleist shook his head.
After pondering for a moment, Weilin guessed: "Exploration of ruins."
Crest shook his head again and said, "That's not right either."
After making two mistakes, Weilin looked puzzled and asked, "I really can't guess it. Please tell me."
Looking at the little guy's expression, Kleist tapped the table three times with his hand and said, "I want to take you to see someone."
Hearing this, Weilin was filled with question marks and confusion in his eyes.
Kyle and Celeste, who were quietly listening to the conversation between the two, were also confused, with curiosity in their eyes.
"There is a layer of mystery surrounding you. I invited you here at first simply because I wanted to meet you." Kleist did not keep him in suspense and explained with a smile, "When I met you for the second time in the pavilion, I used the connection between us to glimpse a corner of the future."
"You can say that I am taking you to see someone, or you can say that I am not taking you to see someone."
Weilin looked at the legendary low-level fortune teller and asked bravely, "I think this should be good for you."
Kleist was not angry at this rude question, and answered frankly: "There are benefits. As for what they are, I don't know now, maybe I will know in the future."
"May I ask who this person you're taking me to is?"
"A princess from the Kingdom of South Milton, her name is Sabrina Eula Custer Milton." Kleist answered, "By the way, I was her teacher for a while."
"I dare to ask, what will be my relationship with this princess in the future?"
Hearing this question, Crest fell into deep thought and slowly said, "I can be many things: an enemy, a friend, an acquaintance, a comrade in life and death..."
"Your destiny is unpredictable and difficult to define, so I don't know what your relationship with her will be in the future."
Hearing this, Weilin fell silent.
"What's your choice?"
"With a legend like you leading the way, I don't think I need to worry about my safety."
Crest nodded and tapped the table. Magic power gathered and formed a map.
"Since you have chosen to go, I will explain to you the political system and situation of the Kingdom of South Milton so that you can understand your own situation."
Before Crest explained, Weilin asked, "Sir Crest, I want to know what reward you will give me to take me to the South Milton Kingdom to see the princess."
"You have not only paid the reward, but you have also paid more." Kleist looked at Wei and replied with a smile, "The moment you made the choice, our fate was linked together."
“For me, that’s the reward.”
"Having a good relationship with the one who is favored by fate will make my future journey smoother."
"In the future, when you need my help, fate will tell me to "repay the debt"."
Listening to Crest's words, Weilin seemed to understand a little, but he didn't ask any more questions, waiting for Crest to explain the situation in the Kingdom of South Milton to the three of them.
"The political system of the Kingdom of South Milton is similar to that of most countries of faith. The only difference is in the selection of the heir to the throne."
"The reign of the King of the Kingdom of South Milton is 350 years. The first 300 years are called the reign period, and the last 50 years are called the succession period."
"When the current king has been on the throne for three hundred years, he will select eight outstanding members of the royal family, grant them the status of princes or princesses, and send them to govern designated areas to assess their abilities, including but not limited to military training, political skills, noble intercourse, building power, and other aspects."
"Every time this happens, apart from the War Church and the Dawn Church, the various noble families and other forces in the Kingdom of South Milton will send their outstanding members to serve under these eight princes or princesses, placing bets in advance and competing for benefits."
