Chapter 46: The Last Supper
Achilles Mansion.
Nora has taken out the furniture and ingredients from the Hearthfire Island Manor and placed them in the lobby on the first floor to decorate the dining room.
Empress Theodora will also take time to come over tonight and have dinner with everyone at Achilles' mansion. As the Empire's political affairs gradually moved on the right track, such opportunities became less and less common.
There are so many imperial affairs that she needs to deal with, so much so that she has been completely incapable lately, and even the two hours of the dinner party scheduled tonight have been reluctantly exchanged for the political affairs stuffed to the Imperial Ink Officer, Lady Varomina.
As a result, Nora is extra concerned about the quality of tonight's meal. Fortunately, the Golden Consul Palace provided a large number of precious ingredients that were not taken away by Suleiman, so that she could also show 120% of her cooking skills.
"Nola?" Medea walked into the kitchen and smiled, "Need help?" ”
"Wash the beets for me." Nora said.
So Medea went to wash the beet, and when she saw the water wash away the dirt and sand from the leaves, she whispered:
"This morning, Sidlifa also broke through Lv.20."
"Isn't that a matter of time? I remember that she was already at Lv. 18 a month ago, and she was just one last skill away. Nora skillfully cuts the chicken.
"Hmm." Medea said quietly.
Comprehending skills and placing them in someone else's possession may take a long time, but it couldn't be easier on the side of the Azure Sword.
The reason is the so-called acceleration plan, which allows girls to see the skills they will understand in the future in advance, which is equivalent to leaking questions before the exam, and the targeted query is naturally much faster and more convenient.
"Well, you're the only one left on the team." Medea washed all the beets and put them in a pot.
"Hmm." Nora gave her two eggs, "Beat them for me." ”
So Medea cracked the eggs into a bowl and stirred them with a small spoon.
"Actually, you're already at Lv.19, aren't you?" She said suddenly to herself.
"Of course I'd like Asker to stay here a little longer." Nora smiled softly.
"Then why don't you let him stay here forever?" Medea smiled slightly.
"Because I can't do it." Nora puts the chicken in the pot and serves it on the stove.
"It can be done." Medea put down the bowl with the eggs.
"That's just what you think you can do." Nora bent down and lit the gas stove flame, "Actually, all you're left with is his body...... Or a part of the body. But what about his heart? ”
She turned slightly, and her brown eyes seemed to have a deep pool of water, reflecting Medea's slightly frightened, pale face:
"Can you keep his heart?"
Medea: ..................
"So in your eyes, the mind is more important than the person." She gritted her teeth.
"No, Medea." Nora leaned her back against the wall and sighed, "We're all selfish and want all of him. ”
"But it can't be done, is that what you mean?" Medea said.
"I can't do it." Nora nodded, "So you can only trust him, you can only bet." ”
"What if I lose?" Medea looked down at the egg mixture in the bowl.
"You're scared." Nora said.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Ugh." Nora smiled and shook her head, "If you were afraid, you wouldn't have fallen in love with him." ”
"Is he worthy?" Medea suddenly spoke with indignation.
"How can we say that?" Nora looked at her with a smile.
"Yes, we're not qualified to say." Medea was also a little depressed.
It's all people in the same boat, so what's there to be noisy about?
"Then I won't bother you." Miss Succubus was silent for a few minutes and then said.
"Hmm." Nora lifted the lid of the pot and tasted the soup inside.
Medea walked out of the kitchen and closed the door behind her back.
Suddenly, green vines grew along the cracks in the doorway, slowly swaying their branches and buds in the breeze. Nora in the kitchen has turned into countless gorgeous flowers, and gradually dissipated into the air.
In the study on the third floor, Aske suddenly noticed and looked in the direction of the kitchen downstairs.
Did Nora also get promoted?
"Was it Nora who was promoted just now?" Mi'er and Mia had already returned from the sunken palace, and were walking up the stairs on the second floor, when they suddenly noticed the oscillation of the spectrum of the laws of the universe.
"Yes." Asker said.
"So......" Mi'er looked at Asker, her eyes inquiring.
Asker nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Miya looked at the two curiously, completely unaware of what they were communicating.
"Mia." Aske smiled, "When the meal is over, let's go fight a boss, okay?" ”
"Okay." Miya said innocently, "Are you going to fight that bad emperor named Suleiman?" ”
"Nope." Asker sent out a line of coordinate names, "I'll tell you later, and you'll teleport us to this coordinate address." ”
"This coordinates ......," Miya groaned. In the process of perceiving the skills, she learned the longitude and latitude positioning method with Sheila, "It seems to be in the south of the Duchy of Bavaria? Are we going to Eleanor's family? ”
"Yes." Asker smiled and said, "But before we do, let's go to dinner first." I heard that Nora made a steak with a special sauce today? ”
"Huh?" Miya's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around and ran downstairs, already screaming in her mouth, "That one, dear sister Nora......"
"So it's already set?" After breaking Mia, who didn't know anything, Mi'er asked in a low voice.
"Yes." "There's no need to put it off any longer, as soon as possible." ”
"Medea, they may not cooperate." Miel reminded him.
"I know what I know." Asker nodded.
——————
Achilles Mansion, ground floor restaurant.
Theodora pushed the door open from the outside, and immediately followed by several royal officers, led by Michael, the chief of the guard who was like a great enemy, with a wary and alert gaze that scanned the surroundings.
"Your Majesty." Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Michael's face turned green, "How do you test the poison......
"Get out." Theodora exclaimed, "These are all demigods, who can poison us?" ”
"But in case it's a demigod-level toxin......" Michael still insisted.
Not to mention, the pure-blood hermitage has demigods who specialize in the law of toxins, and their toxins can directly numb the transcendents who are also demigods, and they don't even have time to start the conceptualization of their bodies (classic cases such as Asker).
If you poison this table, you can directly poison the nine demigods in one night, and tomorrow the Seljuks will be able to fight them back.
"I have the law of toxins and can identify similar toxins." Peggy said from the side.
"Did you hear that? Exit and go! Theodora ordered again.
So Michael withdrew with the other officers and guards, and reluctantly guarded the main entrance of the mansion, and his mind couldn't help but drift back to four years ago.
I remember that it seemed to be in a tavern, and His Majesty Theodora, who was only 17 years old at the time, also brought them to Asker alone, and then told them to guard outside.
As a result, His Majesty himself suddenly disappeared from the tavern, causing these royal guards to look for a long time before they appeared, and later went back and were scolded by His Majesty Zoe.
Probably not this time, right? Hahaha.
In the dining room, everyone is already seated around the table. I can't wait like Miya, I have already picked the fattest steak and cut it.
Nora diligently poured champagne for everyone, Eleanor was tying napkins in a serious manner, Mile was cutting sausages and corn kernels with a knife, Peggy was carelessly scooping pudding with a spoon and eating, Sidlifa was drinking silently, Aske was smiling at everyone, and Medea was the only one staring at the food on the table, her face melancholy, and she didn't use her knife and fork.
Theodora pulled a chair between Eleanor and Medea and sat down, took the champagne from Nola, and said:
"Nola, you've been promoted to a demigod too?"
"Yes, with Sidlifa, it's all today." Nora replied with a smile.
Sidlifa was a little bitter when she heard this. She didn't want to be the last one on the team to be promoted, but she was promoted "along" with Nola.
Theodora's eyes rolled to catch Sidlifa's expression.
Now that she is empress again, she also has to think from the perspective of the rulers of the empire. If Asker is about to leave, then befriending the demigod girls in the team and even bringing them over will naturally become Diodora's next extremely important business.
The relationship with the Azure Sword must not be broken, which is why she squeezed out time to attend tonight's drinking party.
"Then our team is a demigod!" Theodora smiled and raised her glass, "Cheers." ”
"Cheers!" So everyone stood up.
