Phi-Fic Chapter 13 First Visit to Fran
Chapter 13 First Visit to Fran
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the family of four boarded the city lord's magical flying car, a vehicle powered by magic that could fly quickly and smoothly through the sky.
As the flying car slowly ascended into the air, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen looked out the window at the gradually shrinking outline of the City Lord's Mansion and Xiyue City, a complex feeling welling up in their hearts.
They were excited about the unknown journey ahead, but also a little nervous and uneasy. Qiu Jingya held their hands tightly and gently comforted them, while Chu Siyuan focused on controlling the flying car.
The car sped along, passing through layers of clouds. Sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting dappled shadows inside the carriage. Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen were gradually drawn to the scenery outside the window: vast fields, winding rivers, and rolling mountains…
As time passed, the flying car began its descent, and the outline of the imperial capital gradually became clear. The buildings of the capital soared into the clouds, and the magic tower in the central area emitted a soft light. The city's layout was rigorous and orderly.
The flying car landed smoothly in the parking lot of the Dulan Hotel in Fran City. After getting out, Chu Siyuan put the flying car away. The family of four walked out of the parking lot and came to the square in front of the Dulan Hotel, the largest hotel in the capital.
The Grand Duran Hotel is a 30-story skyscraper whose luxurious decorations are eye-catching, making it a dazzling landmark in the city of Fran.
At the hotel lobby entrance, a row of towering marble columns supports a magnificent portico, above which are decorated with exquisite reliefs, showcasing the hotel's prestige and elegance.
In front of the hotel is a wide plaza with a fountain in the center. The water splashes under the lights display a variety of colors, adding a touch of dynamism to the hotel.
The hotel's exterior walls are not only covered by a faint magical halo, but this halo also changes color like it breathes, depending on the intensity and angle of the sunlight, making the entire building seem like a dynamic work of art, shimmering with a mesmerizing glow in the sunlight.
At this moment, the plaza in front of the hotel is filled with a festive atmosphere. Colorful flower baskets are placed on both sides, with flowers blooming in profusion. A bright red carpet covers the path in the middle, and the welcoming staff stand at the entrance with friendly smiles, warmly welcoming each distinguished guest.
"Look at this hotel, it's truly magnificent!" Chu Yichen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, it truly lives up to its reputation as the premier hotel in Fran City; it's absolutely breathtaking."
Looking up at the lavishly decorated Dulan Hotel, Chu Qiuchi gained a concrete understanding of the prosperity of Fran City for the first time.
On both sides of the red carpet, the capital's magic guard stood tall and straight, with the captain at the forefront, meticulously registering and checking the guests as they entered.
As Chu Siyuan and his family arrived, the welcoming staff immediately stepped forward, warmly guiding them to the red carpet, and then registering and verifying their identities.
After successfully completing the registration process, Chu Siyuan and his family entered the hotel under the guidance of the welcoming staff.
Pushing open the door, one is greeted by a spacious and luxurious family suite, exquisitely decorated and tastefully furnished. Inside, soft lighting casts a warm and comfortable atmosphere on the elegant furniture.
A comfortable sofa set sits in the center of the living room, surrounding an exquisitely carved amethyst table. In the bedroom, the soft, large bed, covered in high-thread-count sheets and a down comforter, looks exceptionally inviting.
The suite also featured a spacious balcony offering panoramic views of the bustling capital city. Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen excitedly explored the room, curious about every detail.
Qiu Jingya looked around with satisfaction, praising the hotel's thoughtful arrangements. Chu Siyuan went out onto the balcony, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the atmosphere of the capital.
"The view from this balcony is amazing! Come and see!" Chu Qiuchi excitedly called to his family.
Chu Yichen rushed over, his eyes wide, exclaiming in amazement, "Wow, there's a lake over there! How beautiful! And those skyscrapers! The capital is so prosperous!" He pointed to the distant lake and towering buildings, full of curiosity and wonder. A knock on the door interrupted the Chu family's exploration.
Outside the door, a well-trained waiter greeted you with a polite smile and a gentle, respectful voice: "Hello, would you like me to prepare a meal for you?"
Chu Siyuan turned around and replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you."
He paused, thought for a moment, and said, "We just arrived and would like to try some of the capital's local delicacies. Do you have any recommendations?"
The staff immediately and enthusiastically recommended several of the hotel's signature dishes, such as: crispy roast suckling pig, pan-fried foie gras with truffle sauce, Kung Pao crispy spicy chicken, braised sea cucumber with abalone sauce, and jade rolls, etc. Each dish sounded delicious and tempting.
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen's eyes lit up as they listened.
Chu Qiuchi blurted out, "I want Kung Pao Crispy Spicy Chicken, with extra chili."
Chu Yichen quickly followed up: "I want golden crispy roast suckling pig."
The staff meticulously noted down every request, ensuring that every dish would satisfy their tastes. Soon, a delicious meal was delivered to their room, adding to their warmth and satisfaction on their first day in the capital.
After lunch, Chu Qiuchi asked with great interest, "Mom and Dad, are we going out for sightseeing this afternoon?"
"That's right. This afternoon, the royal family has arranged for someone to lead us on a tour of the two academies. Afterwards, we can also visit other places."
After speaking, Chu Siyuan's expression became serious. "After visiting the academy, you will have to make a choice and decide which academy you want to study in. Therefore, you need to observe carefully, consider seriously, and make a prudent choice. Of course, we will also provide you with some suggestions."
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement and nervousness in each other's eyes. They were both filled with anticipation, ready to thoroughly explore the two academies that afternoon and make the best choice for their future.
