The group reached the living room, the interior of the castle or a giant mansion, seems very luxurious yet alien, as they are not familiar with modern luxury.
You can wait here, the owner, Alex Thompson is on his way to living room.
Understood, he will wait.
The automaton left the room, a group of household automatons entered with teas, coffees, biscuits, cookies, pastries, juices, soft drinks and mocktails
Sir, do you like to have a biscuit, a cookie or a pastry?
I know biscuits and cookies but I don't know pastry, but I will like to have one, also give one for my each companions too.
Do you like to have tea or coffee or juice?
We also have soft drinks as well as mocktails.
I know about tea, coffee and juice but what is soft drinks and mocktails.
Soft drinks are basically the carbonated water, it is a water that is carbonated, sweetened and has added flavours, it is basically water with flavours acting as alternative to juice.
I don't know what carbonated means, by I understood this is water with flavours.
There are many flavours, coke, orange, lemon, apple, grapes and even regular flavour.
And what is this drink called mocktail? It sounds somewhat like cocktail that wealthy humans enjoys as well as drunk by human kings during banquets.
That's because it is inspire with cocktails, mocktails are basically mock cocktails, it is non-alcoholic unlike cocktail, but just like cocktail it is mix of various drinks. Since, it is non-alcoholic version of cocktail, mocktail can be drunk by anyone, including children.
Then give me a mocktail, I like to taste this so called non-alcholic cocktail.
{In unision} Give us a glass as well.
Give me one glass as well.
Me too, I want to know how this mock cocktail taste like.
The automatons, took various fruits juices as well as carbonated water and mixed them, producing varieties of drinks of various colours, and served them to elves.
The elves liked the taste of what they see as non-alcoholic cocktail, the pastry is also tasty sweet as well, the elves immediately recognised it as some kind of cake with lot of creams yet it's taste surpass that of cake baked in human human bakeries.
How's the sweet and the drink.
The sweet is delicious, better than those cakes we ate in past.
The mocktail is delicious too, although it may not replace cocktail, atleast children could drink this as well.
I never ate sweets like this, I wonder where this came from.
These are the specialities of arcanum.
Arcanum?
It is a continent with five powerful nations, but I advice you to aske master Alex for details as he can explain better.
Fine we will ask him.
Thanks for the hospitality, we are impressed.
That's our pleasure, by the way, do you need more sweets and fruity drinks.
Thanks for asking, but we don't need more.
Understood, however if you need more later, as a nearby household automaton, it will inform us.
Thanks, we will keep that in mind.
The automatons left. 5 minutes later, Alex Thompson.
Sorry, for being late, I was sleeping soundly, until I recieved the message, it took time for me to wake up though.
It's fine, if you really were sleeping, I guess it's no wonder you were late.
Besides your metal servants showed great hospitality to us.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Did they? Well they are household models, they know good manners and faithfully serve the people, be it household work, babysitting, cooking or anything else. But don't be fooled by it's appearence, while not as strong as combat models, they are very much capable in dealing with bad guys.
A servant and protector at once. Sounds like a unique combinantion.
That's not a big deal, they can be created by anyone with great knowledge.
You made them?
Yeah, I am a technologist, unlike mages who bend the flow of nature to do their bidding, we utilize the flow of nature to our own advantage, allowing us to create whatever we desire, without bending or breaking the physical laws. We are similar yet different from mages.
Wait! Those are non-magical creation, but they clearly look sentient.
Of course they are, afterall, one don't need to be a mage to create something sentient, those automaton are perfect proof that creation of life is possible without magic.
I see, no wonder I sense any supernatural forces of chaos from them, just the natural forces of law.
Yeah, those are non-magical yet advanced creation, they are not magical but they are out of ordinary regardless of how they are made.
Proinnsias become curious of the scholar in front of him, who call himself a technologist.
Where you came from?
I came from unified kingdom, second most advanced civilization of whole arcanum, right after vendigroth republic.
Where is this arcanum? I never heard of it nor even seen it on map, let alone the nations in it.
Of course you can't, arcanum is a continent situated in entirely different world, my home world.
The elves are shocked.
Wait! You are not from this world?
Yes, I am not from this world, I just came here yesterday.
Conjuction of spheres? But I and other sages didn't sense it.
I don't know what the conjuction of sphere is, but this came to this world that way. my mansion is actually a gigantic vehicle that allow me travel from one world to another. That's how I came to this world. I left my world and came to this world to enjoy my retirement without anyone disturbing me.
But aren't you too young to retire.
I am not young, I look like this, but in reality I am an old man who is more the five centuries old.
Eternal life?
No, I simply restored my youth using an elixir, I age like anyone else, I simply restored my youth in my own ways.
The elves were stunned to know that they are seeing a man who came from another world through means other than conjuction of spheres and ard gaeth, but also know how to restore his youth, which make him look like young man in 20s but is actually an old man who lived for more than five centuries.
