SFS Chapter 273: First Meeting with Nilu
Chapter 273: First Meeting with Nilu
After a series of asking for directions, the four finally found Nilu.
Nilu was naturally very happy to see Ying and Paimon, but there was still a hint of worry between her eyebrows.
"Nelue, let me introduce you. This is Xines, and the one next to him is Egolia."
After Ying's introduction, the three people who met for the first time greeted each other politely.
Egolia also noticed that Nilu seemed to be troubled, so she asked,
"Ms. Nilu, are you worried about something?"
Nilu nodded and told the audience that the guests invited to the banquet had not replied, and if they did not reply, the scale of the banquet could not be determined.
It won’t look good whether there are too few or too many seats prepared.
Even Nilu was worried that if everyone was unable to attend due to busy work, half of the seats would be empty, which would be really embarrassing!
After hearing Nilu's concerns, Ying and Paimeng turned their eyes away feeling a little guilty, simply because they didn't give Nilu a reply either.
But how could Nilu blame them? Nilu smiled sweetly,
"Since you guys are the ones who came to me, there's definitely no need to write back. So, are you available to attend?"
Ying nodded vigorously. How could she refuse the invitation from the beautiful girl!
Paimon curled his lips in disdain at Ying's performance and said, Ying, do you still remember that you started this journey to find your brother?
Are you going to give up looking for your brother just because of a beautiful girl?
Humph, if it were her, Paimon would definitely not be attracted by these boring things!
"Paimon has to come too. I've specially selected the best restaurant in Xumi to provide the food for the banquet."
"No problem! I can enter early!"
Ying looked at Paimeng with a disdainful curl of her lips. Paimeng, is your trip just for food?!
After receiving two affirmative answers, Nel set her sights on Sines and Egolia.
"I'm sorry, I haven't been in touch with you before, so I didn't send you a letter invitation. But I sincerely invite you to the banquet to thank you for your contributions to Xumi."
In fact, Nilu was also a little embarrassed. She had originally thought of asking Ying to help deliver the message after meeting her, but she didn't expect that Hines and the others would come with Ying.
Nilu, Nilu, you are so rude!
Fortunately, neither Xines nor Egolia were petty people. Egolia was very pleased with Nilu's invitation, so she gladly accepted it.
"It's okay. Isn't it another kind of respect to be invited by the host of the banquet?"
Nilu clearly felt Egolia's friendliness from her answer, so she looked at the last guest present, Sines.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this man was very dangerous.
She'd recently been curious about policy changes, so she'd learned from Elhaisen about his latest proposals...
Combined with what I learned from Senor before, this person defeated the false god together with Ying...
This person is definitely a dangerous person, both in terms of military power and politics!
Therefore, asking for his opinion is a must and a sign of respect.
When Sines saw Nilu's gaze focused on him, he couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't Egolia already agree?
Why are you still looking at me?
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Egolia calmly summoned the wind element to blow on Hines, signaling him to stop being dazed and reply quickly.
"Cough cough..."
Hines cleared his throat and said seriously,
"me too."
"..."*4
So perfunctory!
Nilu was even more stunned. Why was the style of the painting different from what she had imagined?
Shouldn't he be the kind of superman who can plan strategies, defeat enemies thousands of miles away, and rival gods in martial arts, and is unparalleled in the world?
how...
Nilu looked at Hines with a slightly dull look, which made Hines a little embarrassed.
He admitted that he regretted it as soon as he said it. Such a hasty answer was somewhat disrespectful.
"Um...how about you ask again? I'll answer it again?"
"..."
Nilu took a deep breath, adjusted her smile, and decided not to let her imagination run wild in the future!
Ah, no, I decided to ignore Hines's perfunctory response for now. Anyway, his reply was considered as an agreement to attend the party, and that was enough!
......
"It's clear that Sines attended the banquet solely because of Egolia. He even pretended to be so perfunctory..."
"God damn it, me too. Do you want to listen to what Egolia said before?"
"Nelue's expression almost made me ask, are you talking to me?"
"Nelue has such a good temper. If I were to be treated so perfunctorily by Sines..."
"What would you do?"
"I'll beg him not to give me the cold shoulder!"
"...the softest words spoken in the harshest tone..."
......
Ying also did not forget Nilu's complaint about no one replying to her letters. Seeing that Nilu was busy preparing for the banquet and the performance, she decided to take the responsibility of inviting the guests into her own hands.
"Nilu, do you know where the guests are? I'll go ask them for you!"
Nilu excitedly held Ying's hand.
"Thank you so much! You've been such a great help!"
Feeling the joy of being held by Nel's hands, Ying smiled shyly, although this shy smile seemed a bit vulgar to Paimon...
Nilu silently withdrew her hand and smiled as she told the location of the important members. It was a good thing for friends to be eager to help, but she couldn't push all the work onto her alone, as that would be too hurtful.
"As far as I can remember, Dishia should be in Omos Harbor, Mr. Elhaisen is in the House of Religious Orders, and Seno should also be in the House of Religious Orders. Finally, Mr. Rahman is probably with Dishia."
The information Nilu provided was not much. In fact, there were only two places to go, one was the House of the Decrees and the other was Port of Omos.
Xines has been busy dealing with pollution recently. Now that he has some free time, he plans to take Egolia for a good stroll.
"Let's help too, Ying. Are you going to Omos Harbor or staying at the Order House?"
Paimon raised his hand decisively.
"Let's go to Port Omos!"
Paimeng said that the prices in Xumi City were too high, and Ying's wallet would have a hard time surviving, so it would be better to go somewhere else to have some fun!
That’s right, Paimon also wants to go shopping, have fun, and most importantly, eat!
With this thought, Paimeng slammed his right fist onto the palm of his left hand.
"Ying! I know what you forgot! The food we packed was left at Jingshan Palace!"
At this time in the Jingshan Palace, Nashida had already opened the takeaway bag. She looked at the leftovers inside and fell into deep thought again.
Narcida: So, what do Ying and Paimon mean by giving me these leftovers?
