Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 532 - 375: Half-Demonization, an Awkward Luncheon

Because this guy's physical foundation is not good.

A powerful Demon's Soul can enhance various attribute aspects.

But the ultimate limit still depends on the basic attributes.

After Zong Shen finished checking Evans' attributes.

They also approached the dining table.

This was also a huge rectangular dining table.

The entire table was about seven meters long.

This size is comparable to a Coaster minibus on Earth.

A pristine white tablecloth was already laid on the table.

Plates of dishes had already been served on the table.

Zong Shen glanced at the dishes on the table and keenly noticed something suspicious.

All the food on the table had already been divided according to the seating arrangements in advance.

In front of everyone, there were three or four dining plates.

The remaining food was also placed on the table.

This passive way of serving seemed a bit strange.

Two male attendants led Zong Shen and others to sit on the right side of the main seat.

Evans himself sat at the main seat.

The tableware was arranged neatly on the table.

At this moment, he noticed a second point of suspicion—their plate styles were different.

Although the main pattern was bauhinia, the plates in front of Evans all had a circle of purple trim.

Zong Shen and Wenresa's plates did not.

After Zong Shen knew Evans' intentions, he could see many suspicious flaws.

Their transparent wine glasses in front of them were already filled with dark red wine.

Evans raised his glass first, looking sincerely at Zong Shen and Wenresa.

"This glass of aperitif represents my gratitude."

"If it weren't for you bringing the Soul Calming Grass back in time, I would have had to endure many more sleepless nights."

Zong Shen glanced at the wine glasses in front of himself and Wenresa.

He checked for any issues with the wine based on strategy hints.

But found that the wine hadn't been tampered with.

Moreover, the wine was of excellent quality.

At least better than those fruit wines served at the castle banquet.

After confirming there were no issues with the wine, Zong Shen raised his glass.

Wenresa looked at Zong Shen and also raised her glass.

"Honorable Evans."

"You're too kind; this was just a small effort."

Zong Shen casually said courteously.

Upon hearing this, Evans lightly clinked his glass with theirs.

"In any case, let's toast to friendship."

"Let's toast to today's meeting."

With that, Evans downed his full glass of wine.

Zong Shen and Wenresa also finished their wine in one go.

As soon as they put down their glasses, attendants immediately refilled them.

The butler, Isidore, also walked over from the living room.

Standing by Evans' side, waiting.

After the first glass of aperitif, Evans proactively picked up his knife and fork.

"Don't stand on ceremony, please start dining."

"The East Sea Giant Claw Shrimp claws drizzled with creamy soup are absolutely delicious."

Evans said enthusiastically.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something,

he asked with a bit of confusion,

"By the way, why haven't your other subordinates come?"

Zong Shen's right hand gently picked up the dining knife and played with it, calmly replying.

"They have other tasks to complete, so they couldn't attend the banquet."

Upon hearing this, Evans showed an appropriate expression of regret.

Seeing that Zong Shen and Wenresa had no intention of eating, Evans proactively picked up a section of cracked crab leg with a fork.

The red-white crab leg meat looked plump and fresh.

He scraped the crab leg meat to the edge of his plate with the dining knife, pouring some creamy soup over it, and started eating with great satisfaction.

"You two should eat quickly."

"These are fresh catches from the Boundless East Sea."

"Recently, the East Sea climate has changed, and nearshore waves have become increasingly fierce."

"Occasionally, fierce giant sea monsters have appeared anomalously near the shore."

"This has severely impacted the coastal fishery."

Evans began eating proactively and once again invited Zong Shen to dine, trying to distract him.

Zong Shen was staring intently at the dishes.

His gaze swept over each plate, and he had a realization.

No wonder Evans's and their plates were different.

All the plates in front of Evans had hints indicating "These foods are very safe and can be eaten with confidence."

But the plates around Zong Shen and Wenresa, including those unassigned leftover foods, all had hints contrary to the previous ones.

"These foods are not safe; the Soul Calming Powder has been thoroughly mixed in. With your constitution, just one bite will make you fall asleep within ten minutes. If you eat more, this time will further shorten."

Beside him, Evans was eating vigorously, trying to tempt Zong Shen and Wenresa with his appetite.

He had some information about the Soul Calming Powder.

He wasn't using it for the first time.

It had almost never failed.

The Soul Calming Powder, purified and refined by an alchemist, had become a crystal powder state.

Colorless, tasteless, and not considered poisonous, as its effect was merely to induce sleep.

Even high-level alchemists may not be able to detect it.

Unless they taste it themselves, but one taste would inevitably get them caught.

The only difference would be the time it takes to take effect.

Zong Shen showed no reaction, while Wenresa kept watching Zong Shen, also not eating or drinking.

At the large dining table, only Evans was eating and drinking.

This made the scene a bit awkward, and Evans hesitated to question them.

As he had already invited them several times before.

Zong Shen toyed with the dining knife, and with his index finger slightly bent, lightly tapped the tabletop three times.

This action was quickly picked up by Wenresa, and she immediately understood.

At the same time, Evans noticed Zong Shen's casual action.

Already feeling guilty because Zong Shen and the others were not eating.

Upon seeing Zong Shen's action, he realized they had indeed come prepared.

The delicious food in his mouth suddenly lost its appeal.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

While emitting a light cough.

Isidore, waiting behind him, immediately understood Evans' intention.

Isidore, who had been observing the situation at the table, also understood that Zong Shen and the others came prepared.

At this moment, Zong Shen no longer cared to engage with them, deciding to take action now.

"Where are the clues related to the Night Demon?"

Zong Shen began actively inquiring through strategy hints.

Line by line of golden subtitles quickly appeared, floating in front of Zong Shen.

("A folding space is hidden within the manor; the magic item to open the space is on Butler Isidore. Spatial Magic Power is needed to open it.")

After reading the subtitle hints, Zong Shen understood why Evans hadn't exposed any flaws for so many years.

He didn't know what method or spatial magic artifact Evans had used, but he had set up a folding space within the manor.

All folding spaces, as the name implies, are spaces folded together.

Folding spaces can only be arranged in fixed locations, unable to move freely.

They are small subspaces developed relying on the original space.

Within the folding space, unless the Teleportation Gate is opened, it won't be discovered by others.

Of course, if those Space Mages who are proficient in Space Magic can sense changes in space to judge whether there's a folding space.

Zong Shen's gaze then turned to Isidore, who always lacked presence.

He discovered, to his surprise, that Isidore indeed possessed a rare Space Magic Talent.

Moreover, his talent was equally extraordinary, reaching the Rare Level!
