Twenty Seven Years

Chapter 5: Lazerin (middle)

  Chapter 5 Laizein (2)

   "It's getting late, let's rest first." It's already around one o'clock in the morning, and Fletcher doesn't intend to keep Veraker awake and absorb the information inefficiently. "Continue on time at five o'clock."

   "Okay." Verac agreed, and together with the two bodyguards around Fletcher, carried the drunk Nord and Dempsey to the box to rest. He was 'imprisoned' in a separate box and monitored.

  As the only lifeline of the Thomas family, it is expected that he will be watched so as not to escape. Verak stretched his body on the bed, with his hands behind his head, not paying attention to the two strong men standing outside the door, concentrating on thinking about how he should deal with various forces and gain huge benefits for himself. It is also guaranteed to escape safely in the end.

   This is not easy. After all, whether it is the huge Thomas family or the rebel organization that still survives under the pressure of the iron-blooded government, it is far from being a role that he can play in his hands. Moreover, it was only a few hours from his rebirth to his decision to return to Laizein, and he hadn't had time to make a careful layout for the future.

  Now, he has already taken the first step towards this familiar yet unfamiliar, seemingly smooth but dangerous path of destiny. It's time to make a preliminary plan to win the elusive bright future.

  Like a giant python, the train spewed out thick smoke and passed through the winding mountains at high speed.

  The windows of this box are sealed, and Verac can only escape through the main entrance if he wants to escape. Therefore, the two bodyguards guarding the door were not very worried. They endured sleepiness and chatted trivially.

   As everyone knows, at this moment, Verak did not have the slightest thought of running away. At dawn, the sky was slightly bright, but his eyes were still exceptionally clear, and he slowly formed some plans in his heart.

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and then a bodyguard opened the door and said coldly: "Get up."

  Villac sat up from the bed, got dressed, went to the bathroom to wash up followed by the bodyguards, and was then taken to the dining room. Fletcher had already been sitting there, and there were a lot of tableware, food, and drinks on the table.

   "This is a lesson in dining etiquette." Fletcher invited Veraker to take a seat, and he wanted to teach Veraker the habit of getting close to Chris as soon as possible from all aspects of life.

  Verak pretended to be at a loss after taking his seat.

Fletcher deliberately slowed down his speech in order to help Verac absorb the information: "First, get to know the tableware. The ones facing you are the main plate, dinner plate, and salad plate. On the left are salad forks, dinner forks, and napkins. On the right are The side ones are table knives, teaspoons, and soup spoons. The front are white wine glasses, red wine glasses, drinking glasses, dessert forks, bread plates, and knives."

   Following Fletcher's narration, Verac's eyes swept over the tableware one by one.

"In our dining etiquette, most things on the table can be touched with hands, such as asparagus, bread, biscuits, boiled corn, small meat rolls, pastries, sandwiches, fruits with handles, etc., in addition, You need to cut it off with a knife and fork and eat it..." Fletcher explained everything in detail, seeing that Verak nodded slightly as if he had remembered it, so he stared at it with great interest: "Let's try eating first."

  Valak picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it lightly.

"Try not to make noise when chewing, and it's best not to talk to people." Fletcher warned, "No matter what you eat, you must be elegant. During the meal, you can ask others to help you pass it over. The reverse is also true. Remember, you should use your right hand to pass. In addition, when eating fish, meat and other dishes with spines or bones, do not spit out the spines directly. First, cover your mouth with a napkin and spit it out gently on a paper, and then put it in the plate ..."

  Verak nodded.

"When holding a goblet, keep your hand on the stem." Fletcher picked up the glass and shook the drink lightly, then took a sip after clinking the glass with Verac, "This is a special rosé champagne... how much do you drink?" Sample?"

  Villac held the goblet in a decent manner, took a sip and replied: "It's okay."

"Chris is a good drinker." Fletcher put the wine glass back on the table, "If you have finished drinking the wine in the glass and want to drink some, you can put the wine glass on the table directly, and someone will pour the wine for you .If you don't want to drink, just cover the glass with your hand."

   "Understood." Verak listened humbly.

"The conditions here are still a little rough, and there are no hand-washing dishes. At the banquet, any food that is eaten by hand, such as chicken, lobster, fruit, etc., will be served with a hand-washing dish at the same time. Some rose petals or Lemon slices, but don’t drink it as a drink. After eating food with your hands, your fingers can dip into the sink, wash it briefly, and then wipe it with a napkin.” Fletcher added, “Remember everything ?"

"Um."

"You have a good memory. I will eat every meal with you in the future to help you develop a habit as soon as possible. When I return to Laizein tonight, I will take you to see Mr. Carmine first, and then do other training , Prepare." Fletcher said, "You continue to write down the things on the booklet first."

   "Yes." Verak took out the booklet.

   "That's right." Fletcher remembered something, "Have you ever been to Laizein?"

  Verak looked up at Fletcher and shook his head.

   "What about other places?"

   "No, I haven't left Zward City yet." Verak replied.

   "Twenty...six years?"

"Um."

"where is your family?"

   "I don't remember." Verak said flatly, "However, if you can find me in such a remote place as Zward, you must have already figured out my background, right?"

   "I'm more curious about what it looks like to you." Fletcher squinted his eyes and smiled, "Are you curious about the wider world outside?"

  Hearing this, Verak took some time to think carefully: "...they should all be the same?"

   "Hehe..." Fletcher chuckled a few times and got up, "You can continue with your meal first."

   After finishing speaking, Fletcher was about to get up and leave.

   "May I go and see my two friends first?" Verak asked.

   "Of course, please appease them." Fletcher returned to his box.

   Under the guard of two bodyguards, Verac walked into the box where Nord and Dempsey were resting. The two were still fast asleep from exhaustion and drinking, and it took Verak a moment to wake them up.

   "Where is this..." Nord rubbed his sleepy eyes.

   "On the train to Laizein." Verak replied.

   "No way..." Nord's face turned pale, "I thought it was a dream..."

   Dempsey was much more sober than him, glanced at the cold bodyguard standing at the door of the box, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do..."

  Verak did not respond in a low voice, but said in a normal voice: "Go to Laizein and live well."
