Chapter 38: The Dinner Party (Part II)

In the afternoon, Jacques, who opened the "Eight Winds Refining Body" again, was already hungry at this time, and after draining the wine in the cup in one gulp, his stomach was even hungrier. Looking around at the other people at the table, Jacques found that only he and Fabian had finished drinking, and everyone else had tasted it, and he also knew that he had learned Fabian wrongly, and it was not etiquette to drink it all, so he quietly glared at Fabian, who was still immersed in the joy of drinking openly.

The waiter quickly replenished the glasses of the two, and then a basket of thinly sliced bread was placed between Jacques and Fabian. The other three waiters rushed in, each with four plates in their trays, and the waiters waiting on either side quickly served each of them, so that Jacques had a plate of pale yellow-green hot soup in front of him.

Jacques stared at the plate of what was said to be a seafood soup that could be eaten in two bites at most, trying to imagine what kind of seafood the black and white particles were floating in it, and what had happened to them to become such a mouthful.

Jacques, who was already hungry, picked up his plate and took a sip and drank the seafood soup, not to mention, there was really some fish and shrimp flavor!

However, Jacques, who had put down the plate, could tell from the expressions of the people opposite him that he seemed to have done something inappropriate again. Looking at Fabian again, the guy was breaking a slice of bread and putting it in the soup, then graciously picking up the spoon and scooping the bread and soup into his mouth.

Viscount Bernand smiled heartily and said: "When I saw little Jacques, I remembered the time in the New World. My etiquette teacher would have been so angry if she had seen me at that time. It's okay, little Jacques, please feel free, don't be embarrassed, it's all your own people here. ”

The Viscountess dismantled the stage and said: "That was later, when you first arrived in the group, you had to drink soup with a spoon, and you had to ask for your set of silver cutlery." Huck's bag is full of your fancy stuff. ”

Mayor Bodham hurriedly said, "Now Lord Viscount won't let me carry such a big bag, and as a result, you see, I'm getting fatter and fatter every day." With that, the mayor turned to Lily and the others and explained, "I was the Viscount's bodyguard back then. Don't look at me as fat now, I was one of the best rangers in the second regiment. It's just that I didn't break through to the plasticizer like them later, ahaha. Mentor Lily, you became a sculptor at the age of sixteen, and you are a genius born of a teenager. ”

The viscountess said, "Alysia, don't look at this bald man who is so fat now, he was really a ranger under your grandfather's command back then. He wanted to be a heavy cavalryman like my husband, but he was too thin and was eliminated, and finally we rangers took him in. ”

Alyssa smiled and said, "I will also be a heavy cavalry in the future! So, Lord Viscount and Aunt Timor are heavy cavalry, and Viscountess, Aunt Semuel, and Mayor are rangers?"

The short-haired Semuel said: "I'm also a heavy cavalryman, and I'm in charge of strikes and fills. At that time, the second regiment was dominated by heavy cavalry, except for Phil's sister who was arranged to the ranger formation because of her bow and arrow skills, seventy percent of the members were heavy cavalry with heavy armor and full horse armor, and the reputation of the second regiment for steel torrents also came from this. ”

Alyssa was quite interested in this topic: "Grandpa didn't talk about the things of the year, I also learned some of them when I listened to him chat with his old brother, did you really defeat 200,000 enemies with 500 people back then?"

Viscount Bernan replied: "It is so in terms of quantity, but it cannot be just in quantity. The five hundred of us are all transcendentals, and at least two hundred of them are Plasticizers, as well as three Grandmasters. Stuart's pioneer army also has four grandmasters, but there are only more than 300 sculptors and awakened people from the empire, and the remaining 200,000 are aborigines brought by them, ordinary people account for the vast majority, even if there are more than 2,000 aboriginal transcendents, these people are not able to work, and they are so frightened that they flee after only a few thousand people are damaged in battle. ”

The Viscountess, who is an Aboriginal people, continued: "Those people are not like us, they are forced to go into battle, we are voluntarily enlisted. The reason we wanted to join the Second Son was because we were treated as human beings here, not driven by animals, and because we joined the army to fight to protect our own homeland. The heavy cavalry of the second regiment was almost all aborigines, and only eight of the more than 100 heavy cavalry survived after the war, and three sat at this table. ”

Viscount Bernand smiled: "Haha, it was really dangerous at the time, I was almost killed by a knife, it was Phil and Huck who dug me out of the pile of dead people." If they come later, when my blood is gone, the Bernand family will have to find a side line to inherit. ”

Relying on the explanations of Fat Orange, who had studied the history books, Jacques knew that they were talking about the Battle of Huerdo Pass, which laid the foundation of the New World more than twenty years ago, and the final battle of the Stuart colony that occupied the central part of the New World and the Castile colony that occupied the south.

The 500 cavalry of the second sub-regiment sniped Stuart's reinforcements at the Huerdo Pass, and the 200,000 reinforcements were routed and retreated to the mountain pass, and there were only more than 100 people left in the sub-regiment. Unable to reinforce the Stuarts, the main force had no choice but to sue for peace, and the two principalities finally demarcated the boundaries of their respective colonies in the New World.

The second subgroup was founded in the early days of the colonization of the New World, and the first members were all noble children who went to the New World to venture and win opportunities. Alixia's grandfather was the third and last commander, and after the Battle of Huerdo Pass, the crippled second son regiment was no longer rebuilt and announced its disbandment.

Coincidentally, Lily's father also participated in the war between the colonial groups of the two countries back then, but the Nasrid branch leader fought with the main army on the main battlefield, and although Alicia's grandfather did not fight together, they were also partners in the same camp.

Except for Jacques and Emma, the rest of the table was either a soldier or a descendant of the colony, and the conversation had been around the war in the New World. Jacques took the opportunity to quietly wipe out a basket of bread, half a roasted wild boar leg with applesauce, half a roast goose, a large piece of beef ribs and quietly gave Fat Orange half a beef rib.

When the topic was about Fabian's second brother Coryat, who had just participated in the Misty Forest Challenge, Jacques, who was very interested in this competition and had eaten seventy percent of his fill, put down the ribs in his hand and listened intently.

Kolyat's personality is very similar to Fabian's, and he speaks out. I only heard him say: "Do you know, Mentor Lily, we have bad results this year, but we have to blame you! You performed so well last year, but this time the three teams of our Eve Academy were targeted as soon as they entered the forest, we don't have the strength of the seed team, but we enjoy the situation of the seed team." Our booty has been robbed twice! The most odious thing is that guy from Mannheim, who said that you robbed his brother last time, and he wanted to avenge his brother, so he robbed us all. ”

"Mannheim's?" Lily wondered, "Oops, there were so many queues that many people couldn't remember." There are only five plasticizer students in the entire misty forest, and I just broke through the plasticizer, as long as there is no plasticizer in the opposing team, I will grab it. I robbed too much, and I forgot who I robbed. ”
