Chapter 82: President
After arriving at the supply point, after the five members of the Minority Alliance discussed, they only handed over the plastic-level rock sheep sheepskin, and left the rest of the materials, and invited Claudia and others to dinner to share the mutton.
When Claudia and the others entered the temporary camp, they saw a special scene that they had never seen before.
In the middle of the tent is a large round table, made of simple wooden strips, which is Alixia's craftsmanship.
There was a hole in the middle of the table with a pot on it, and under the hole was a brazier, where charcoal was burning.
Fabian was turning the contents of the pot with a large spoon, and before he could see what was in it, a strong spicy smell came to his face, and the spicy and oily aroma made Claudia, who had never been exposed to this kind of smell, feel that tears were about to come out.
Seeing this, Lily, who was helping, quickly opened the window, and the spicy smell in the room was taken away by her and blown out of the window.
Claudia hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... This is...... What does it smell like? It makes me cry. ”
Jacques, who was cutting meat with a Mithril dagger on another table, said, "I can't stand it, and when you can eat it, you will cry even more, and you will eat while crying, and tell you, this is a spice from the New World, which is especially popular in our south, called chili." Fabian, the base hasn't been fried yet! ”
Fabian replied, "That's fine, wait a minute, the pepper pepper is fragrant before it tastes good." Why don't you rush Emma, she hasn't finished her stuff yet!"
After a while, the guests and hosts sat down around the round table, and the six people from Cologne looked at the only cauldron in front of them, the red soup boiling like magma, and they were at a loss.
Jacques hurriedly picked up a plate of red and white lamb sliced into thin slices, slowly put it into the pot, and after a while, he said, "It's cooked!
The fork and spoon flew over, and the slices of meat floating in the pot were fished out by everyone. Claudia and the others also tried to take out a piece of mutton and put it on the plate in front of them, but they didn't know where to start.
"That's ...... Dip in the ingredients and serve. It's a little spicy, slow down......"
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem...... Water ......"
"It's delicious! I've never tasted anything like this!"
"It smells so good!"
"Where's the meat? Why are you running out so quickly?"
"Brother Jacques, is it cooked, can you eat it?"
"I'll try...... Not...... It's not ripe yet, so try again...... Not...... Not ripe yet...... Hey, you're all done! Leave some for Emma!"
"Lamb tripe, I want lamb tripe!"
"If I go back to Coron to open a shop and sell hot pot, I'm sure I'll make a lot of money!"
"Bernande's ancestral hot pot base recipe, teach you, count me as a ...... of thirty shares"
"It's spicy, Natasha, make me a piece of ice, ...... quickly"
"I'm going to ...... too"
"Where's the meat?
"What's this little feat?"
"Sesame paste, garlic paste, wild leek flowers"
"Don't put the greens, eat the meat first!
......
Jacques said, "Claudia, tomorrow we are ready to go, heading east, intending to go all the way to the end of the mountain range, and collect more spirit plants above the snow line before it snows. What are your plans?"
Claudia said, "We have a Shaper-level wolf and more than a dozen rock sheep materials, and the points don't matter anymore. I'm looking for a snow fox, the east is the direction we came from, we've searched it, we should continue west. ”
"Snow Fox, are you going to ......?"
"As a trophy collection, the snow fox's fur is pure white, and I want to make a hat. ”
"Heck, then we're going to go our separate ways, I need points and rankings. Jacques said as he looked at Lily with a strange look.
Lily was indifferent and fished out a piece of shiitake mushroom from the pot.
"If we meet a snow fox, we will definitely help you catch it. ”
"Don't go to this supply point next time, those guys from the imperial capital may continue to operate around here, if you meet again, I'm afraid you will suffer." Claudia said.
"It's okay, I still have a lot of tricks to do, next time I encounter them, I'm sure they'll be the ones who suffer. ”
Hill's face was so spicy that his face was flushed, but he kept stuffing all kinds of food into his mouth, and said: "Brother Jacques, if you have time to go to Saxony, you must come to Cologne, go to Dongting Trading House to find me, and promise to let you eat and have fun!"
"His family is now investing in the railway business, and he is almost the richest man in Saxony, you must be right to look for him. ”
"Isn't this my father who made a fortune with your Castile railway company, my family didn't make much, and the railroad company earned most of the money, and the big boss of the railway company is really rich. ”
Seeing Fabian and the others looking at her, Lily put down the dishes and said, "I'm full, let's go to the camp first, and you young people continue to talk." "Then go out and go.
Jacques also confessed and went out.
Lily walked silently alone, and after a while she walked out of the camp, Jacques followed her not far behind, and when she saw that Lily did not stop, she lowered her head and continued to follow.
The two of them had their own hearts, and neither of them spoke, Lily walked slower and slower, and Jacques followed closer and closer.
Suddenly Lily stopped and turned around, Jacques who was walking with his head down didn't pay attention, the two bumped into each other, Lily pushed Jacques away, but grabbed his shirt by the way, pulled him over, looked down at him, looked at him embarrassedly, put his head on Jacques's chest, and said: "Do you think that my master is particularly useless, it took nearly a year to find the second attribute." ”
Jacques put his hands on Lily's shoulders and said, "It took you four months to reach the peak of the Sculptor, which means that you have no problem with your talent, my father...... I've heard that if you find the second attribute, you either rely on water grinding kung fu to stare at one attribute for many years, or you can rely on chance and awaken at once. I think you may have been in a hurry and have a bad mentality, but maybe you can find your way through your slow understanding. ”
Lily choked up, "Slowly...... How can I have time to slowly realize, when I go back to this competition, they will arrange a wedding, I heard before I came, I need Robert to marry me, and the southern nobles can support him to become the first assistant, my uncle They can't wait. ”
"You don't want to marry him?"
"I've said it a long time ago, I don't want to, his lover in Rand has given him a second child, what is it for me to marry him?
Jacques has no idea about this kind of thing at all, and the clever Fat Orange also said that you human feelings are not understood by the emperor.
After hesitating for a long time, Jacques finally said, "Why don't you ?...... After the game, don't go back to Mousse, let's go to the Northern Regions together, there is someone there who can take care of us and give us a new identity. When the limelight passes, maybe you will become a grandmaster during this time. ”
"Silly apprentice, what will happen to my father if I'm gone? ”
“......”
"Let's take a step and take a look, your task now is to complete the competition and graduate successfully, Dean Hardy promised me, as long as you are in the top ten, I will let you graduate immediately. Don't worry about me, you little broken boy can't help. ”
"I'm going to be 17 soon, I'll be 20 in two years, you're only 22, and you're not much older than me, besides, who helped you break through to the peak of the plasticizer......"
......
At the same time, a certain palatial mansion in the imperial capital.
Robert followed the Sixth Elder Henry through the brightly lit cloister, pushed open the heavy relief oak door, and came to a banquet hall with a ceiling of more than ten meters.
The long table was already full of men and women dressed in different clothes, and when Robert came in, the hall immediately fell silent, and the first old man said softly: "Henry, you are here, bring Robert to my side." Guys, guys, this is Robert Baptiste, the protagonist of the day. ”
In a burst of applause, Robert walked to the old man's side, and was placed in the seat on the right, the old man pressed down his hands to signal quiet, and then said:
"Convening the elders, the worshippers, and the enforcers of some of the major cities today, there is something to announce......
As you know, the oracle of the obelisk again last month, and it was a 'one-man' oracle that had not been repeated for seven hundred years, and on the whole, we in the Council of Elders unanimously judged that the oracle was directed at the same Mr. Robert Baptiste beside me......"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, but we'd love to know how the Council of Elders made this judgment?" someone spoke, not loud, but able to interrupt the Great Elder's speech and let everyone hear it clearly, which showed that this person was not low.
Sixth Elder Henry said: "Oh, it's Klaus Walker of Mainz, don't you know the Musai Port of Castile as well, the oracle points to the Awakened of the Mousse Port, and Robert is the best of the Musai Harbor Awakened, didn't you come to the imperial capital on the train he invented?"
"But I heard that he was not in Port Moussey at the time, but in Rand, and with all due respect, Mr. Robert's strength is 26 years old, and he has not yet reached the high level of the Awakened. No matter which lineage of disciples is not at the peak of the Awakened at the age of 17, it is estimated that the door will be cleared by the master, right?hahaha......" The other person also said.
The Third Elder also said: "You know the strength of your new generation of Stuart disciples, who else has become a sculptor besides that 'Goddess of Hunting'? ”
"Back then, Paul and Yelena were too strong, we were unlucky, and whoever met them ......," the other defended.
"All right! The Great Elder said majestically:
"If you get together, you're going to quarrel, what does it look like? We elders unanimously judged that Robert was the child of one of the seven girls of the oracle 27 years earlier, the son of God.
The oracle girl in Port Mousse has not been found, we checked the original records, Robert's mother was self-awakened at the age of 18, because she did not go through the obelisk awakening ceremony, so there is no video record, so we have not found her, and later she and Count Baptiste died after giving birth to Robert.
Robert's talent for the source energy is mediocre, but his intelligence is superior to that of all of you present! He is even smarter than the familiar Lee Baptiste, who has invented another thing that could change the world. ”
"What is it? more powerful than the nautical formation? Can I take a look?"
"Sorry, it's still under wraps, only the elders and the worshippers can know about it, and we already know all about this invention, so the elders will unanimously agree that Robert is the oracle.
At our meeting today, we are not only to announce Robert as the oracle man, but also to elect a president who will be elected by the Presbyterian Church to succeed Robert as president who has been vacant for more than forty years. ”
The hall was immediately in an uproar, and one of the worshippers also said: "There are still five years to go, and Dabi can naturally determine who can become the new president, why should it be decided in this way by public recommendation?"
After a long time of arguing and shouting, during which many people left their seats and discussed in twos and threes, Robert did not care about the chaos in the banquet hall, and ate and drank by himself.
Eventually, the nine elders also went to the next small room for a small meeting.
The Grand Elder came out of the small room with a tired face on his face and announced, "After the renegotiation of the Council of Elders, we have agreed that although the Council of Elders can publicly nominate the Son of the Oracle to become the President, since Robert is different from the other Sons of the Oracle and did not grow up in the Mithril Society, we will give him a five-year term of acting as President.
If, after five years, Robert's performance is not recognized by seventy percent of the members present, a new president will continue to be determined in accordance with the traditions of the various veins.
From now on, Robert will be the acting president of the Mithril Society!"
