Chapter 90: The Tea Party at the Round Table
The sun is rising over the horizon and the snowflakes that fall on Valentine's Day have melted, leaving the streets of London waterlogged, and although there is a good drainage system, there is no guarantee that the ground is clean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Ermelo's mansion didn't have to think about it at all.
As early as the second day of snowfall, the maids had already cleaned the courtyard, and now there were two worlds inside and outside the walls, and the morning light made the clean courtyard more and more beautiful.
The maids got up long before the sun rose and continued their work that had not been done yesterday.
Last night the round table was delivered to Ermelo's mansion by hand, but because of the late hour, the maid simply put the parts of the round table in the warehouse, and then rested, and now went back to the unfinished work of yesterday.
The maids quickly assembled the round table and placed it in the living room on the first floor, occupying half of the room with the long table for dining, and they were instructed that the main family should have morning tea today, so after setting the round table, they went to prepare the things needed for morning tea.
When they were ready, the head of the house arrived with the guests.
"It was a real pleasure to enjoy morning tea at the mansion in Ermero. Larry Sears, still dressed in his watch tower uniform, looked at the living room, admiring the chandelier on the roof and the wallpaper on the walls.
"Don't look around, finish early, there are still things to do today. Rhaenys was obviously used to this kind of life, and even if there was an extra round table in the living room, she wouldn't care at all, let alone that the round table was originally ordered by her.
The head of the house sat down on the chair next to the round table, and then Larry sat down as well, stroking the smooth edge of the round table and looking closely.
There is almost no difference from the round table seen in King Arthur's Garden, if you have to say that there is no underground magic array, just an ordinary table.
And deliberately placed gems in several places on the round table, as if to make up for the broken round table.
"It's so talented, it's only been a few days, where the hell can a craftsman make something so delicate so quickly?" said Larry, who liked the look of the round table.
"It's just for them to put the pieces together, and the guys have at most made up a part of it plus a few gems, and if they can't solve it in a day, they'd better not be craftsmen." Still speaking harshly, Lyenys handed over the pieces of the table to a factory in London on the day of Rovi's rebellion, and asked their best craftsmen to restore it.
There is no special significance, and the round table leaving the magic array is just an extremely ordinary thing, if there is any meaning, it is probably to make those servants feel more comfortable.
Sitting across from Rhaenys and Ryry were three knights in armor, and they didn't even care why they were still wearing armor at this time, or rather, it was a habit, and it would be strange not to wear armor when the Knights of the Round Table were seated at the Round Table.
A few knights were leisurely enjoying morning tea.
"Hmm.... The taste is pure, but I didn't expect that British black tea will still be so mellow after many years, which is really a pleasant thing. Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table, sighed as he drank the black tea brewed by the head maid.
"Well, I agree with you, Gawain, it reminds me of my wife, Issold, who used to make me this kind of black tea when we were still in Camelot. Tristan, the Closed-Eyed Knight of the Round Table, said this, though everyone knew that the Isold he was talking about was not the Isold he loved.
"I didn't expect my master to have such skills. Sitting between the two knights was the knight King Arthur, who praised it after drinking the black tea, and looked at Grey, the head maid, who was standing next to Leenys, with a slight smile on her face.
Lyenys drank the black tea, but her expression was a little helpless, because it was too bad to be at the table in armor, so she pointed it out.
"Can you take your armor off? I know you created it with magic, and I can guess that you used to like to wear armor at the round table, but now this is my family's dinner table, so don't stay next to it?"
The Knight King put down his teacup, the black tea had been drunk, and his blue eyes stared at Rhaenys for a moment, and then said, "Although my lord looks like your servant, it doesn't mean that I need to obey your orders. ”
The muscles on Lyenys' forehead jumped, and she was very dissatisfied with the Knight King's statement, but the reality did not seem to allow her to start taunting the other party as usual, after all, she still couldn't treat the Servant as an ordinary person, and more importantly, she was the Knight King, which was different from the ordinary Servant.
The Knights of the Round Table on either side also put down their teacups, and although they could see that there was no hostility in their eyes, Leenys felt unpleasant just being looked at like this.
Fortunately, Gray spoke in time.
"Lancer, take off your armor, there's breakfast in a while, and it's going to be inconvenient for you to eat in armor. ”
Hearing the master's order, the knight king sighed, then closed his eyes, and the silver-white armor on his body instantly turned into golden particles, and then disappeared, even the cloak behind him disappeared, and the remaining blue inner armor and skirt armor looked similar to everyday clothes, but it was a medieval daily skirt.
The knights on both sides also removed the armor, Tristan was wearing a white hunting suit, his chest was wide open, and his black leather pants tightly bound his thighs, and the muscles were visible to the naked eye; Gawain was wearing black inner armor, which was a bit like a straitjacket, probably because he was used to wearing armor, so he wore this kind of thing inside.
Lyenys felt even more glaring, but she was the one who made the suggestion, so she could only endure it.
Etnia, who had been sitting at the table without speaking, looked at her servant, and then continued to take a cup of tea.
If it was before, it was impossible to imagine that someone from the Animsfia family would come to Ermeiro's house for morning tea, and there was no conflict between the two sides, of course, this was mainly due to the change in the girl, she still didn't say a word, if it was before, she would definitely be bright when she saw Tristan and Gawain, but now she doesn't, and I don't know what she has experienced in two and a half years.
The pupils under the cloak seemed to flash a hint of unwillingness, but it quickly disappeared.
Then the maids began to serve breakfast and placed it on the round table.
The aroma of the toasted bread, the golden omelette, the vegetables with salad dressing, the leaves with a few droplets, and a few grilled sausages are placed on the plate in a certain proportion and placed in front of everyone.
The standard breakfast is the same as the fish and chips.
Generally speaking, such a set of portions should be enough for an adult to eat, and it also takes into account nutrition and taste, which is really a pretty good breakfast.
The three people at the round table and the three servants all began to enjoy the breakfast, and Rhaenys questioned at this time.
"Do servants need to eat too?"
Originally, she didn't plan to ask the maids to serve breakfast to the servants as well, but she didn't inform the maids about this, so the maids naturally prepared breakfast for the servants.
The maids who live in a magic family are naturally also people who know the existence of magicians, and they can also recognize the three servants wearing special costumes on the side of the round table, but they don't have much contact with these and don't know that the servants don't need to eat.
"Whether you need to eat or not is not the same as enjoying breakfast, and the process of enjoying breakfast is more important than eating. As he spoke, the Knight King had finished his portion, and Rhaenys had just cut the omelette in half and eaten a few slices of vegetables.
This speed directly made Rhaenys's eyes widen.
The curious magician on the side asked, "Your Excellency the Knight King, what do you think of the breakfast here?"
Arthur pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"I can only describe it as delicious, the reasonable combination of dishes and exquisite cooking techniques make the food taste very good, for breakfast, this is undoubtedly the most important, who is the chef today?"
One of the maids in the line stepped out and raised his hand in a slightly trembling voice.
"It's me. ”
"Thank you so much for the breakfast, your cooking skills are amazing. As he spoke, the Knight King nodded slightly, paying homage to the chef.
The maid looked flattered, nodded happily, and returned to the queue with a smile.
Leenys saw all this, whether it was the tone of her voice, the way she smiled, or even her attitude towards people, she could be called a wise monarch.
This made Rhaenys feel more and more unpleasant, and identifying with her as a wise monarch was like agreeing with Rowe as a genius, and Rhaenys' jealousy flipped up again, but she did a good job of suppressing it.
"Anyway, didn't you see Lord Ermero, is he still resting in his room?" Larry looked at the Knight King and suddenly turned to look at Rhaenys.
"Huh?ah.... He, he doesn't live in my house, but outside, renting a house. With that, Leenys began to use a knife and fork to cut the sausage into small pieces and put them in her mouth in turn.
"Eh, doesn't he live here, why?" Larry looked curious, he didn't seem to understand that asking Rhaenys like this would not end well.
"You're annoying, I said hurry up and have breakfast, there's still something to do after eating!" Rhaenys glanced at Larry disapprovingly, and then continued to eat her breakfast. And don't forget to add the word II. ”
Who cares about that awkward guy, who has to run out to rent a house even more when he doesn't live in Ermero's mansion, let alone rent a house in Ermero's house, which is even more strange, Monarch Ermelo II not only did not live in Ermero's mansion, but also paid rent to live in Ermero's property.
Of course, Rhaenys is too lazy to talk about the complications, but it is a very bad memory.
Soon, breakfast was over, and the Knights of the Round Table were quite fast, followed by Larry and Rhaenys, and Eternia was the last to finish eating, and the maiden was silent until she had finished eating, as if she had not spoken since the beginning.
"Is it enough, Wang?" asked Gao Wen, who knew how much he had eaten.
Arthur nodded.
"It's enough, as I said earlier, it's a process of enjoying breakfast and I'm satisfied. At the same time, the Knight King also looked up at Lynenys, and after eye contact, Lyenys snorted coldly.
"Although I don't want to waste food on a servant who doesn't need to eat, but Ermelo won't make the Knight King feel inadequate, you can let go of it, maybe you won't have time to eat in the future, I also wonder if the legendary Knight King eats as much as she has in her heart?"
It's just that she doesn't know what a terrible number the so-called knight king's meal is.
Then the maid began to go back to the kitchen to make the breakfast that the knight king needed, and when the knight said, "All right, I have eaten", the sun had risen quite a bit, and the clock went to nine o'clock.
The corners of Lenys's mouth twitched, although she thought of the reason for the special physique of the servant, but she didn't expect that the other party could eat more than 20 sets of breakfasts in succession, which is not a big amount in terms of money, but in conversion, it is more than 20 days of breakfast for Lyenys.
"Your Excellency the Knight King, I have a new question. Lyry, dumbfounded, raised his hand.
"Huh?"
"Is it because you can eat so much because of the relationship between the servants now, or is it because it was like this?"
"Of course, that's how it is, and it doesn't make any sense to rely on the Servant's physique to eat more. As he spoke, the Knight King still looked upright, and he was very confident in his appetite.
And Tristan and Gawain on the side also nodded, this is the king they are familiar with, this amount of food is right.
"Actually, you became king because you ate the most, right?" Lyenys stroked her forehead, wondering if that was really the amount of food that one person could eat.
Ryry nodded mechanically, remembering a rumor about Camelot City in his mind.
Although Britain was quite prosperous under King Arthur's rule at that time, there was still a shortage of food, but it was not that the people's rations were not enough, but that the royal family would often come out to collect food, which was more frequent than during the reign of King Uther.
Now, that answer seemed to be in front of him.
And the answer is so simple and yet shocking.
After a brief moment of reprie, Rhaenys put the matter down and got up from her seat.
"Alright, breakfast is over, it's time to go. With that, she walked first out of the hall, Grey still following behind her.
"Speaking of which, my lord, where are we going?" everyone disbanded after returning from Kamran, but last night they were all called to the Ermeiro mansion by Rhaenys, saying that they had something to do today.
"Go to Plymouth Harbour. ”
Larry thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be quite far from London.
"Why go there?"
"Because some traitor is there. At this point, Rhaenys looked angry. "Last night there was a guy from the Clock Tower that Rowe Sideley was staying in a villa under the Lokemini family in Plymouth Harbour, and if that news is correct, we should go to Plymouth Harbour to fix that guy properly. ”
Rhaenys is very vindictive, which Rowe knows very well, so when Rhaenys knows Rowe's whereabouts, she will definitely rush over as soon as possible and make Rowe look good.
"Eh, who is it?"
"Esther Lokemini, a pedantic magician whose father had cut ties with the Tower of Watches twenty years ago, now seems to have understood something better. ”
Esther did not provide information unconditionally, but asked for the most powerful magician of the clock tower to come to Plymouth Harbour, because not only the existence of Rovi, but also the magic workshop of a wandering sea magician located under Prynemouth Harbour, Esther also told the clock tower, he hoped that the magician of the clock tower could solve these things and give Plymouth Harbour a peaceful place.
It was a reasonable deal, there was nothing to lose for the Tower, and it could help the people of Plymouth Harbour, and the Tower was more interested in not Rovi, but the magic workshop left by the Wandering Sea Magician, which was said to have been built twenty years ago, which made the Clock Tower's magician even more dissatisfied.
Building a magic workshop on top of the site of the Clock Tower is too much.
So Leenys was instructed to destroy the Magic Workshop first, and then asked Rowe for details and why he rebelled against the Clock Tower.
But Rhaenys doesn't care about these things, her target is only Lowe, what kind of magic workshop of the magician of the wandering sea? That has nothing to do with her, the specific situation? Then it needs to be asked, Leenys knows very well, just another fool who wants revenge on himself, although he let Rowe succeed in Kamran, but this time, Leenys will not let this bastard succeed again.
"So why don't we go on the Scottish Royal?" Larry was overjoyed at the thought of the treatment on the Scottish Royal, with a smile on her face.
"Don't you know how to think about things? The round table can be put together, but the damaged train can still be repaired in two days? And the old men of the clock tower also said that they are not allowed to rent trains in the name of the clock tower in the future. This drove Rhaenys a little crazy. "It's too fanfare to keep the mystery of magic alive, so don't infiltrate the government, idiots. ”
It can be seen that Rhaenys is also very dissatisfied with the high-level members of the Clock Tower, although he is the head of a famous family, but he is still a little worse than those guys.
Of course, it is the monarchs who lead the 12th School of the Clock Tower, and Monarch Ermelo II is also one of them, but he is the last modern magician monarch.
