After selecting several batches of fabrics and custom-making a few clothes, Jessica helped Caesar pick out two more ready-made garments because he was going to attend a dinner party tonight.

If Caesar were to buy clothes himself, he would probably buy several pieces of the same style. He is not good at this kind of thing at all.

After coming out of the tailor shop, Caesar had changed his appearance.

How to describe it? Caesar looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a dark blue dress with ironed cuffs and collar, which was quite straight. He wore an iron mask on the left side of his face, and looked like a showy villain from some evil organization.

The dean was very satisfied with this image and kept praising him: "Boys should also pay attention to their appearance, dress nicely and look energetic!"

"You just got here today, and as your elder, I should treat you to a good meal to welcome you, but plans can't keep up with changes. When you get to the banquet, just eat and don't talk too much. Their food must be very luxurious."

She reminded him, "This is also an opportunity. I can also introduce you to some people."

"I know. I'll go over there and eat some food later so I can gain some weight." Caesar said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, you should eat more. Look at your face. You've lost weight from the sun and the wind."

---------

The transportation facilities in the royal capital are quite complete compared to other places.

There are public carriages funded by the state, which are spread throughout the outer city. Compared with people in other places, it is quite convenient for people in the royal capital to travel.

But Caesar and Jessica are not planning to take a public carriage for their trip tonight. Ms. Jessica has a more advanced means of transportation.

Dragon Cart. It was a blue-striped earth dragon with a long horn on its head. It was four meters long. It was different from other earth dragons that were actually just large lizards mixed with it. This thing was a real dragon subspecies.

It was kept in the school's stable and was fed by a special person.

The driver is hired by the school, which is also a kind of employee benefit.

Jessica was talking to Caesar in the carriage: "Mr. William just now is the head of the Dex family. That Barricka is his only daughter. He wanted me to take Barricka as his disciple before, but I refused."

"It's not that Barica's talent isn't that great, but I just don't have the energy to teach her."

"I rejected him clearly, but he still insisted that I would accept Barryka. He just wanted my connections."

"Hearing what you said, I actually feel that Barica is quite pitiful. Her father's control is so strong that her life must be very difficult." Caesar nodded aside.

"Pity her ass!" The old lady rolled her eyes. "From now on, the entire Dex family will belong to her. She paid for the repair of several buildings in the school. You still feel sorry for her."

"Remember, watch more, listen more and talk less. Do you remember?"

"Remember, remember." Caesar nodded repeatedly.

The carriage arrived at its destination quickly.

This time the destination is in the North City District. It is worth mentioning that there are checkpoints between the inner city and the outer city of the royal capital, but there are also checkpoints between the four urban districts of the outer city.

The sky gradually darkened, and when only a hint of paleness remained in the sky, we finally arrived.

From here we can see that the Dex family is quite influential. The blue-veined earth dragon can be considered a very high-end mount, but there are many mounts here that are more dazzling than it. Caesar even saw a unicorn. Although it is not a pure-blooded one, it is a descendant of a legendary creature. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a luxury car exhibition in another world.

Since Caesar was brought along by chance, only Dean Jessica's name was on the invitation.

In this world, there is also a position responsible for singing invitations. A guy who looks like a half-elf speaks standard common language and loudly announces the identities of the guests at the door of the banquet hall.

This building used as a banquet hall is quite tall and wide, covering an area as large as several football fields.

There was a band playing instruments nearby, mostly orchestral music, and they were playing with great gusto.

People invited by the host were performing on the stage in the center of the banquet hall, including dramas, songs and dances.

This is because the banquet cannot begin until all the guests have arrived. During this period, the host will prepare some entertainment activities for the guests who have already arrived.

Dean Jessica's identity was quite important here. She was well-known in the magic education community of the capital, and she was also a legendary magician. When the staff announced her arrival, she attracted a lot of attention.

Caesar followed behind her calmly, keeping a respectable distance, not attracting anyone's attention at all, just like a boss's extra.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, someone came up to invite Jessica to go up to the second floor, where there was a conversation room prepared for distinguished guests.

Jessica followed the receptionist up to the second floor, and Caesar quietly separated from her.

I'm going to eat my fill tonight.

Caesar quickly blended into the crowd, and no one's attention was on him at all.

There were many long tables in the banquet hall on the first floor, with a wide variety of delicacies on display, covered with crystal covers to keep them warm. Waiters kept shuttling between them, pouring wine or replenishing fruits.

However, few of the guests were actually dining. Everyone was walking around the banquet with a wine glass in hand or shaking it. Those who were a little more casual were holding a bunch of grapes or nuts in their hands, and were chatting in groups of two or three.

Caesar didn't know anyone, but to be honest, in his eyes, none of these people were as attractive as a piece of steak.

It seems like everyone isn't eating much? So I'll take these ice shells away? I don't think anyone wants them.

This is a kind of shellfish produced in the Far North, and is a precious magical ingredient. There are many of these seafood foods displayed here, and there are waiters on the side to help cut them.

Caesar had eaten this thing once before, and it was very sweet and refreshing. He asked the waiter to cut a small half plate, took a lot of food, and went to the corner of the banquet hall.

It has to be said that the Dex family is truly extravagant; this banquet hall was built extremely luxuriously, with even the load-bearing columns having gorgeous reliefs.

This location is the least noticeable. It is a place for guests who are tired of talking to rest.

What a great place.

Caesar ignored everything else and focused on enjoying the food in front of him.

To be honest, the seasoning of people in other worlds may not be as good as that of Blue Star, but the advantage here is that the ingredients are high-quality. I, Caesar, will try the taste of this ice shell that is the same price as gold coins!

Hmm, the icy taste, the slightly mustard flavor, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms are really strong! Serve it up quickly!

Just as Caesar was enjoying his meal, a voice rang out.

"Can I sit here?" It was a black-haired girl who looked very young, probably only about fifteen or sixteen years old, delicate and cute like a doll, short and small. How tall was she? Less than 1.5 meters, maybe? Like a child.

"Of course." Caesar answered as he slowly swallowed the meat in his mouth.

After getting Caesar's response, she sat down on one side of the table, staring at the huge banquet hall in a daze, looking very bored.

It turned out that it wasn’t that my appetite was too good, but that the food was not delicious enough.

Caesar thought so as he sat down after getting his third serving of food.

Delicious food always whets one’s appetite, Caesar thought as he ate his meal.

I don’t know when it started, but the girl’s attention shifted to the man next to her.

What a strange person, he came to the banquet and didn't chat like those people, but instead he just ate all the food.

He eats too much, Lucia Foer thought to herself. This was the third time he had gone to get food. How much had he eaten? Five plates, right? Seven steaks? And countless other things. She had originally stared at the people at the banquet in boredom, but she began to secretly look at the man next to her from the corner of her eye. He was eating too much.

The third batch of food was finished, but Caesar was not going to take more. The main reason was that he had taken too many times, which attracted a lot of attention. He would take a break first and go back later. Caesar was a low-key person, and he didn't want to encounter the Dragon King plot, because eating too much and then being criticized by others for pretending to be cool was the most troublesome.

Eh? He's not eating anymore? Lucia, who was about to continue watching Caesar's eating show, noticed that he had finished eating and didn't take any more. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you not eating anymore?"

Seeing that it was the little girl next to him who spoke to him, Xi Ze responded, "Don't eat yet, rest for a while before going. Don't you want to go eat something?" This must be someone's child, hiding here like him.

"Um, I don't need it. I'm not hungry yet." She blinked curiously: "Aren't you going there to find someone to talk to or something?"

"Haha, forget it. I don't know anyone there. Wouldn't it be awkward to talk about an unfamiliar topic with a group of strangers?" Caesar said with a smile.

"Well, that's true." Lucia nodded thoughtfully: "Hello, my name is Lucia."

"Hello, my name is Caesar."

"Are you really not going there?" the girl asked. "I thought you guys would like to talk about things like national affairs, a fight between two places today, or which girl is pretty and unmarried."

Xi Ze likes to tell dirty jokes, but to be honest, it's really boring to brag and fart with a group of strangers.

"It's okay. I'm more concerned about what kind of honey is used to flavor this dessert. It has a floral scent." Caesar took a dessert that looked like solidified jelly from the tray of a waiter passing by. He drizzled a circle of honey and icing sugar on it and dotted it with nuts. It tasted delicious.

"Didn't you say we should rest for a while before eating?" Lucia said.

Caesar contentedly took a large bite of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth: "The stomach that holds dessert is different."

This seemed to hit her funny spot, and the little black-haired girl covered her mouth and laughed.

"I guess you're not full yet, are you?" she said, standing up from the stool.

"Shall I go get you some?"

To be honest, Caesar was tempted by this suggestion, but after a moment of hesitation he rejected it. He still felt it was not good to trouble others. As mentioned before, he was the kind of player who would rather get lost for two hours than find someone to lead the way.

"Why don't you stop it? It has a bad influence. I can eat so much by myself." Caesar waved his hand.

"Don't be embarrassed to take it. You should eat when you are hungry." Seeing Caesar's excitement, she winked at him and said, "Wait a minute. I will get you something delicious."

She walked lightly towards the table with a lot of food, and quickly brought back half a plate. She didn't take much, just a little bit of each food. She probably didn't know how much Caesar could eat, so she didn't take anything.

"Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Caesar."

"Well, I won't be polite then." Caesar didn't take much in total and finished it quickly. There was still some food that looked like a rock left on the plate.

Caesar had also seen this thing just now, placed in an exquisite thermal tableware. It must be something edible, but he didn't know what it was so he didn't take it. Miss Lucia did help him take it, but he didn't know how to eat this stone-like thing.

"Take this." Lucia handed over a small conical piece of iron and said, "Poke it in here, twist it to open it, and then dip it in a little bit of this sauce." She gestured at the stone-like object.

Caesar looked in the direction she was looking and saw a small hole in the stone. He poked the iron sheet in and twisted it as she said, and the stone opened up, revealing something that looked like oyster meat.

Dip it in the brown sauce in the small dish on the side and it tastes surprisingly delicious, like eating creamy jelly, but with a much lighter taste.

"Is it delicious?" The girl blinked expectantly.

"Delicious!" Caesar gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, huh? Can you eat more?" Lucia wanted to see how much he could eat. "I'll get you some more. Something new to eat."

"Wait, I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Caesar to speak, she left immediately, turning back and waving at Caesar as she walked.

She came back soon, and Caesar could not refuse her kindness, so he had to continue eating reluctantly.

"You're amazing! I wish I could eat as much as you do." Lucia said enviously, and the expression on her face didn't seem fake: "If I eat more, I can grow taller." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and gestured on top of her head.

Caesar didn't know how to respond to her words. Should he encourage her to eat more? Or should he comfort her by saying that it didn't matter if she was a little shorter?

This plate was quickly finished, but Lucia wanted to give him some more, but he quickly stopped her: "Okay, okay, I'm full."

Lucia admired Caesar. The leftover food at this kind of banquet would basically be wasted. A better host might let the servants deal with it, but that was only a very small number.

Many nobles would not give the leftover food to their servants after a banquet, even if it had gone bad, in order to prevent them from stealing the food or keeping some of it for themselves.

This is not allowed, so most of the food after the banquet will be wasted.

The meal took almost an hour. Caesar came in with Dean Jessica at seven o'clock, and it was almost eight o'clock now.

Almost all the people invited to the dinner have arrived, and the guests have been watching the performance and chatting in the banquet hall for nearly an hour.

Suddenly, the crystal chandelier above everyone's head gradually dimmed, and the entire banquet hall became dim.

Someone walked onto the stage in the center of the banquet hall. It was Mr. William, whom I met in the afternoon, William Dex.

Barricka Dex's coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin.
