Chapter 782: Ninth Order Prestige
That night, the cook of the Duke's Palace, he was tired enough.
The cooks invited by the Duke's Palace were a team of thirty people, all of whom were veterans with quick hands and feet, and the result was not as fast as the two people at the table.
Hercules, in particular, had a big mouth of blood, and the meat was stuffed as if it was poured in.
In the end, the head chef thought to himself, don't go so many processes, and choose the most convenient method.
Put the meat in a pot under cold water, put it in plain water and cook it, skim off the blood foam, take it out, sprinkle it with salt and serve.
When the food was served slowly before, Lin Shuo and Hercules couldn't tell the winner, and even Hercules seemed to have the upper hand, and this giant man ate faster.
Later, the serving became faster and faster, and it was this white boiled meat, and the fat was not hung out by the cooking technique, it was all in the meat.
Fat is something that people digest slowly and greasy.
The Lin family does not have this problem, tens of thousands of years of inheritance, a family of foodies, and then carefully select the most meat-eating group as the main vein hunter, the ability to digest fat is equivalent to the livestock that has been artificially bred for tens of thousands of years, that is no meat, and the bigger the oil and water, the better.
So Hercules slowly began to be unable to stand it, and his stomach could hold it, but he couldn't stand the greasy energy.
This griffin is 4,000 catties, and the water of the bones and internal organs is removed, which is 2,000 catties of solid meat.
In the first round, everyone divided six or seven hundred catties, and there were more than 1,300 catties, and on average, he and the little thin man opposite had to kill more than 600 catties of meat.
People are not animals, how is this possible?
And even if it is an animal, unless it is a high-level xenomorph raised by the royal family in the central part of the Great Western Continent, I have never heard that it can eat so much in one meal.
So while Hercules was eating, he was also observing the progress of the little thin man opposite, thinking that he couldn't finish eating anyway, and when he couldn't eat anymore, he would eat one more piece of meat and it would be over.
The calculation was good, but the reality was the opposite of what he thought.
After starting to boil the meat in white water, Lin Shuo ate more slowly than before.
Because he has to chew slowly, he deeply understands the pleasure of fat being squeezed out of his teeth in his mouth.
This delicious sensation becomes more and more addictive the more you eat it.
Hercules didn't know the pleasure of Lin Shuo's meal, he still gobbled it up, and after eating, he pouted his mouth and looked at Lin Shuo with a provocative expression.
The chef team has to take care of the speed of the dish, and the cooking techniques are no longer very particular, but the amount of meat in each serving is basically the same.
A serving of meat is about fifty catties, which is not too much.
Hercules ate six more servings of griffin meat, and after three hundred pounds, he felt the greasy feeling begin to rise from his stomach and rush to the top of his head.
The temples throbbed, and the feeling of nausea became more and more intense.
He knew he couldn't eat any more, and he had to vomit it if he ate it again.
Looking at Lin Shuo again, he was still chewing there slowly, although it was a little slower, it was basically the same as the speed of the food, and he kept eating, and the more he ate, the more he enjoyed.
Hercules was a man of fine and thin, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he thought to himself that this was not the way to go.
This kid is reincarnated as a starving ghost, and that mouth is like a bottomless pit, and he can't win if he eats like this.
It's a trivial matter if you can't eat people, but what about the lord's face?
Losing a griffin, this is already about to kill the lord, and eating griffin meat in order to fight for the lord's face is the lesser of two evils.
Eating griffin meat, the lord must have been unhappy in his heart, but now it was more important to suppress the arrogance of the envoy, so he acquiesced to doing so.
As a result, I ate so much by myself, and in the end I didn't eat it, isn't this looking for death?
As a military commander, Hercules was quick-witted, and he quickly came up with an idea.
In fact, this meat-eating competition was carried out secretly by both sides, and it was not said on the surface.
Since it is not explained clearly on the surface, the so-called competition can also be more than just eating meat.
It's the same if you clean up this kid in another way, and the Duke's purpose can be achieved.
So Hercules touched his beard and laughed, and said:
"Lord Vice-Ambassador, this is not good for your body if you don't exercise, or let's exercise first, and then eat." β
Lin Shuo was eating well, where did he have time to pay attention to this person at this time, and said without raising his head: "I'm very lazy and don't like sports." β
Hercules saw that Lin Shuo was not in charge, so he looked at Miao Chengyun, the head of the mission, and said, "Your Excellency has worked hard all the way. β
Miao Chengyun is also in front of his younger brother Lin Shuo, he looks a little naΓ―ve, and he is a good person in front of others.
Lin Shuo knows best what he is capable of eating, and it is impossible for Hercules, a stupid big man, to win him in eating.
So as soon as he saw Hercules start to talk to him, he knew what this guy wanted to do.
Miao Chengyun didn't poke it either, and said with a slight smile: "The general is too polite, since we are waiting for the emperor, we naturally have to do things on the official business, so why worry about the work of the horses and horses." β
Lin Shuo was eating happily on the side, and he was a little unappetizing when he heard this. I thought that this person was really into the drama as a head of mission, and he spoke in a crepe.
Then he only heard Hercules say: "There are many masters in the imperial capital, and I have heard of masters above the eighth order.
However, I have never heard of the name of the deputy envoy, Shanglin Xiashuo, and it seems that he is a hidden master.
It's better to let me, a ninth-order sword master, ask the deputy envoy for a few tricks, so as to complete the prestige of the deputy envoy. How about making adults want it?"
In this place, news spreads slowly, which means that information is updated slowly, so reputation is very important.
Because as long as the reputation is publicized, it is fixed information, and everyone knows it, and it will become the main basis for judging things.
The shadow of the famous tree of people, this is an old saying in China, and it is even more applicable when it is placed in Daxizhou.
A "master of the imperial capital" like Lin Shuo is obviously very strong but has no corresponding reputation, so there are actually many inconveniences in speaking and doing things.
In Hercules' speculation, Lin Shuo is very capable but has no reputation, and he should have been a spy of the royal family before.
But now that he has become a deputy envoy, it means that the royal family has other calls for him, and he can do things in the world in the future.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Hercules's words, he said that with his identity as a ninth-order sword master, he confirmed Lin Shuo's prestige and made it more convenient for him to act in the future, which sounded good.
But in fact, Miao Chengyun knows what is going on.
said it so nicely, isn't it because he can't eat Lin Shuo, so he finds fault and fights, so he wins and saves face.
Miao Chengyun is now not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement, and his heart is happy, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay." β
Since the head of the regiment has spoken, Lin Shuo, the deputy head of the regiment, can't help but listen.
The head of the hunting gate touched his half-full stomach, wiped the oil on his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood up: "Okay, then we will fight quickly, and I will continue to eat." β
......
The martial arts of the Great Western Continent are prosperous and the people are strong, and the cultivation is a must for everyone here, just like children in other parts of the earth have to go to school.
There are many ways to practice in the Great Western Continent, and in addition to the cultivation of physical skills, there are also corresponding knowledge systems that are taught so that practitioners can make a living from them, so they distinguish their professions.
Professions are to be ranked, and the main basis for grading is strength.
A ninth-order swordsman like Hercules, that means that the upper limit of the rank of the swordsman profession is roughly equivalent to the strength of the Nine Realms Great Perfection master of the Three Realms of Hunting Sect Cultivation.
It's just that the Nine Realms of the Hunting Gate are Great Perfection, because of the relationship between the quality of the inheritance, the gap between strength and weakness will be very large.
For example, Chu Hongyi and Lin Shuo eight years ago were both cultivating the Nine Realms of Great Perfection, but if this was done, Chu Hongyi would only be able to rely on his fast speed and have a chance to escape.
The career classification of Daxizhou is better than the division of the nine realms before the hunting gate, which is purely based on ability, and there is a special evaluation agency to formulate standards in a unified manner.
The same is true for the profession of swordsman, and the ninth rank represents the highest rank of this profession.
But for those geniuses who truly possess an excellent inheritance, the Ninth Order is not the end, but only the beginning.
Because the high-end cultivation inheritance of various professions is actually monopolized by the aristocracy, and the common people cannot access it. And these cultivation geniuses from noble backgrounds, once they enter the ninth order, the emperor will give them special titles.
Having a title, in addition to its various huge benefits, also means that the owner of the title is definitely stronger than the average ninth-order person, because their inheritance is better.
For example, the Duke of Nemea, he is a ninth-order slave master, and the title given by the emperor is "Griffon Lord".
Hercules, although he is also a ninth-order swordsman, is from a civilian background, and he has not yet been titled.
Of course, if the unification of the Duchy of Nemea succeeds, Hercules, as his military commander and confidant, should be able to get a county of counties, so that he will become an earl and enter the aristocratic class.
At that time, Nemea, the lord of Hercules, would apply for a high-end aristocratic kendo inheritance gift to Hercules from his direct lord, that is, the king of the Badia Kingdom.
After Hercules has a sleth-level kendo inheritance and passes the assessment of the Sword Master Association, Nemea will come forward again and ask her lord King Badia to play the emperor of the Tianlan Empire, and then the emperor will issue an edict to give Hercules a title.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a civilian swordsman like Hercules to be promoted to a nobleman and get a title, and this is almost the only way.
The future and fate are closely related to the lord Nemea, so there is no doubt about Hercules's loyalty to Nemea at this time.
Tonight's fight with the deputy envoy of the mission, he intends to go all out.
But Hercules was not Nemea after all, he didn't know many things, and it was inconvenient for Nemea to tell him.
So what the mission meant to Nemea, Hercules didn't understand thoroughly.
He thought that Nemea was going to let out a bad breath. Since you are loyal, you must be thorough.
The lord's griffin was "mistakenly killed" by the deputy envoy of the mission, so he retaliated and "mistakenly killed" the deputy envoy, which is called venting his anger for the lord.
Therefore, the excuse for his action was to bestow the prestige of the Ninth Order, which meant that the battle between the two sides was not just to the point, but to move in earnest.
Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun, who are newcomers, don't know about these knots, but fortunately, there are locals in the current "mission", that is, Moxia.
During the meal, she was the "temporary mistress" contracted by the head of Miao on the halfway, and her identity was not visible, so she was not qualified to serve the table, so she waited outside the restaurant.
She could see and hear all the movement inside.
The place where the two of them started was on a section of the castle wall, not in the restaurant, so Lin Shuo had to go out with the others.
When the head of the Hunter Gate followed Hercules out while picking his teeth, Moxia hurriedly took a step forward and grabbed Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo squinted at this woman from Daxizhou, wondering in his heart, not knowing what she meant.
"Your Excellency. Moxia looked nervous and whispered, "He will definitely kill you, and you will admit defeat directly in a while, don't do anything with him." β
Lin Shuo was still thinking about griffin meat, thinking about quickly dealing with this fight and coming back to continue eating.
Hearing Moxiya say this at this moment, Lin Shuo chuckled in his heart.
Because the content of Mosia's reminder is not important, the key is to remind the act itself.
She will remind herself that it means that this woman has no care about hiding her identity, which is tantamount to blowing up her identity in front of herself.
Otherwise, how could she, the innkeeper of the Earldom of Xilan, make such a judgment, and what qualifications did she have to remind herself?
This shows that the matter is more serious, she can't take care of it anymore, and she must come forward to remind herself.
It seems that if she really dies because of this, it will not only destroy her superior's original plan, but also make her unable to account for it on her superior's side.
With this judgment, Lin Shuo immediately accepted Moxia's words.
In fact, Lin Shuo will not only believe in Moxia's words, but also in his personal emotional will.
Because in this way, Lin Shuo would be able to get rid of this ninth-order sword master with his hands, which would be good for tomorrow's affairs.
is already fighting for life, and it is normal for some accidents to occur.
Since this person said that he wanted to fulfill his ninth-order prestige, then it was as he wished.
