Stratonis sat down angrily: yes, there was a bruise on the back of Mithridatis' head, and she didn't know it after all these years? But since this is a fake corpse, Adiana dares to blatantly say "characteristics", presumably she must have colluded with that Calabis a long time ago.

At this time, Calabis was sweating in the kitchen, "preparing" the second main course for the princess (the main course of the Roman banquet, the main course is usually two): the oyster juice is poured with lobster, and he is about to shout for someone to bring vinegar, and then suddenly discovers where the vinegar came from in the Roman era, and shouts in a hurry, "Bring the sour wine!" "A few cooks pouted and busied themselves with sour date wine—the other fake oriental cooks had long since been sent away by a few drachmas each, and now all the food was taken care of by Chef Calabis on his own.

The bronze door of the dining room opened, and the waiters walked in one by one with plates full of spice jars, and Pompey's main dishes were prepared by the chef he had brought from Rome, and it was simple, a plate of grilled sausages, a plate of caviar and foie gras, and Minander and Stratonis did not dare to ask Pompey for any additional dishes, and maintained a high degree of consistency with Pompey. Only Adiana, calmly facing the stewed chicken with black truffles, and the lobster popping with oyster juice, in the opening and closing bronze tube she carried, lightly took out a pair of slender silver-inlaid tongs (who the trainer was, no need to ask more), and extremely elegantly crushed the stewed chicken, poured seasoning on it, and then used this slender clip to deftly send the steaming chicken into the small mouth, even Pompey was fascinated by it, and could not help shouting: "I think, dear princess." Now there is a gourmet in the city of Rome. Definitely going to be particularly speculative with you when it comes to gastronomic topics. ”

Then. Demetrius's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, and as if he remembered something, he asked the princess very politely: "What an elegant and dazzling meal, as far as I know, there is only one person in Rome who can create such a meal, but now Colchis, who is so far away, can make this dish - master, I am curious." I seem to have a friend who is very close to me, the princess, and the foodie who created the meal, nearby, maybe in the kitchen. ”

Immediately, beads of sweat appeared on the princess's forehead, and she secretly hated herself and Calabis for getting carried away and not being careful enough about this Jew!

The heat of the truffle stewed chicken was still rising, obscuring the princess's expression, but her chestnut eyes were rolling rapidly, "Calm down, Adiana, think about what Calabis told you beforehand." Killer feature, killer feature"

Just as she was thinking. Demetrius quickly and decisively said that he was going to the kitchen of the palace to have a look.

It's almost too late!

Suddenly, before Pompey could say anything, Demetrius's front feet had already stepped out of the dining room, and Adiana wiped away her tears and said, "Actually, there was another thing that could verify the identity of my father, and that was his saber Ottolicus, but it was also taken as a trophy by a general named Claudius, who claimed to be the adjutant general of the Eighth Army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Pompey and Demetrius were dumbfounded, Demetrius stopped, and Pompey stood up from his couch!

"The Eighth Legion? Your Excellency, you are sure you heard him correctly. Pompey couldn't hold back at first and cried out.

In fact, when Calabis discussed with her before, he did not specifically ask her to mention Claudius's legion, which was definitely a "work of wit" for the princess to pit people to the end, and simply played to the end, Adiana nodded and said: "Yes, he does claim to be from the Eighth Legion, and he wants to take his father's sword as a general's battle exploits, and he told me that the merciful general will definitely let his father's body be buried in Sinop, but there must be a symbol of the conquest of Pontus to appear on the general's triumphal ceremony." ”

With a loud bang, Pompey disregarded his manners and angrily smashed his fist on the table in front of the couch, and all the dishes were spilled on the ground, kissing the earth, and also kissing the ancestral spirits of Pompey's "little family" (the Romans generally call their hometown a small home, and the city of Rome is everyone), the brilliant general roared: "This bastard prodigal, the Roman breeder, the guy who sold his anal virginity to the pirate" After the heat, Adiana laughed secretly in her heart, yes, Calabis pre-planned a killer plan, It is really the sword that points directly at Pompey's weakness, this gentleman is hard-working, not very greedy for money, commanding, brave and invincible, but the biggest life, is vanity and competitiveness, sure enough, when Adiana mentioned "Ortolicus", he couldn't hold back.

"Didn't that General Claudius say that he was your subordinate, and why are you so excited, even I am terrified."

"No, no, I remembered what that bastard's brother-in-law, Tuna, said, and it was the greatest 'luck' of my military career to have him serve under me. DESMITRIUS, SEND A LETTER TO THE PHEASANT ARMY IN THE CITY OF ROME AND IN THE CITY OF PONTICABION, AND IMMEDIATELY, NOW, MENTION MY IMPERIUMMAIUS! ”

Demetrius, who was standing at the door, said with great embarrassment, "Master, I think I ought to go to the kitchen first, for it is all about whether or not the words of this lady can be believed." ”

"Hey, Demetrius, my dearest and trusted servant, do you think we're playing dumb riddles? Can you expand your eyes a little, our greatest enemy is a huge monster, he is in the city of Rome, he controls it all, and Claudius is just his pawn - you need to hurry, don't tell me to repeat it, everything is done according to the rules of the legion! The fastest letters, the fastest orders, plus the fastest horses and boats. Pompey became agitated and bit his nails fiercely, indicating that his order was urgent, and Demetrius could only glare at the princess, who was still proudly plucking the delicacies with the silver-encrusted long clip, and then turned his head and left in hatred.

"Dear General, this dish is so much to my liking, you are such an understanding host, please allow me to thank and reward the cook you have hired. Also, I'd like to have some of this truffle stewed chicken. Picking her teeth with a toothpick, Adiana looked at Minander and Stratonis with a defiant gaze, and Biduita took the princess's little purse, and walked a few meters away from the main and guest bedrooms, got up and left the dining room, and walked towards the back of the palace.

The tall indigo warrior walked to the kitchen and found only a few cooks preparing desserts and drinks after the meal, and Calabis was nowhere to be found, so Biduita shook her head and continued to the utility room in the corner of the kitchen. (To be continued......)
