Chapter 1480: Refusal
A compliment, a reward, and then a feast.
This cookie-cutter process is like a relief carved on a stone slab, unchanged for thousands of years.
Even the dishes prepared for the banquet are set in stone.
The monotonous dishes did not even interest the hypocritical aristocrats, let alone the children, all with bitter faces and frowns, without even the slightest expression of happiness.
The Elven Empress was distressed by this.
I persuaded her: "Your Majesty, you should try to change your thoughts and concepts, if you continue to abide by the old rules, I am afraid that the banquet in the future will only become a symposium, and those expensive meals, I am afraid that no one will move again." ”
The Elven Empress said stubbornly: "Although the dishes are monotonous, this is a noble and royal banquet set by the ancestors, and it is only allowed to be light and elegant." ”
"At that time, it was light and elegant, because Moonlight City was declining, after all, it had just experienced several civil wars, and the various clans fell apart, and a considerable part of the material treasures were divided and taken away by the leaders of the various clans, leaving the ancestors only full of ruins and the Elven Forest that no one dared to go deep......"
The fairy empress, wearing the crown of kings and holding the moonlight scepter, walked slowly and continued: "But now it is different, there is plenty of food and clothing, the country is safe and secure, Moonlight City is gradually recovering, returning to the brilliant glory of the past, there is already hope, at this time, we should not continue to stick to the old rules, but look forward to the future." ”
"This ...... Yes, Grandma" The Elven Empress was hesitant, but in the end, she agreed with the Elf Empress's words, albeit reluctantly.
"Let's start with meat and vegetables first," the fairy queen waved her hand, and immediately a waiter came up to wait.
"Put all the dishes on the table, order the kitchen staff, and re-prepare the dishes, this time, regardless of the meat and vegetarian ingredients, as long as the quality and taste of the dishes are top-notch."
"Yes!" The waiter answered, got up and left.
Half an hour later, a variety of fragrant dishes are served on the table, with novel and diverse dishes, and the aroma is seductive and appetizing.
"This is the banquet~" I sighed, staring greedily at a plate of golden buttery roast duck on the table, and swallowed my saliva.
After staring at the roast duck for a while, I suddenly realized that someone was missing: "Where's Remy?" ”
The fairy queen's eyes signaled, and I turned my head to look, hey, good guy, the little girl is holding a roast chicken that is about the same size as her, floating in the air, biting and biting!
I covered my face: "I'm really sorry for the empress grandma, it's me who usually spoil her too much......"
"It's okay" the fairy queen bowed her hand: "You're not wrong, I'm satisfied." ”
With that, she pulled up the elven empress with a complicated expression on the side, sat down in the middle, and sat down at the table where the empress, the two princesses, and Emily, the leader of the Rose Legion, ate, and said, "My old woman is ready to eat meat, you little girl, you will not be more old-fashioned than me." ”
Although the elf empress was unwilling, she didn't want to disobey the fairy empress, so she sat down with a bitter face.
At the table, Princess Anarita and Princess Anareta, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the two empresses seated, and regardless of the order, launched an 'attack' on the table full of fragrant food.
The Fairy Empress laughed and said, "Look at them, how quickly they have changed, this is the right thing." ”
I stood aside, and I swallowed the saliva that kept secreting from my mouth again and again, and if I continued like this, the saliva alone would almost feed me.
Seeing that I was still standing beside me, the Fairy Empress smiled and said, "Why haven't you eaten yet?" ”
"It's not ...... I don't have your orders," I said aggrieved.
"You kid, usually even if I don't say it, I will do it if I want to, but now it's good, pretend to be an honest person, since you want to pretend, then continue to pretend."
With that, she gulped down the meat.
I couldn't get hungry, and finally I didn't care about any orders, so I walked quickly to the elders' seat next to me and began to eat a lot.
Halfway through eating, I suddenly felt my shoulders sink, and then, a pair of calves hung down my shoulders, and I didn't need to look at it to know that this was Remy, who had eaten and drunk enough.
In order not to disturb the other people's eating, I had to get up and leave, and sat down alone at a table near the edge, and continued to nibble on the duck thigh that I had not finished nibbling.
By the time the banquet was over, it was already afternoon.
Before returning home, the Fairy Queen returned the crown to me.
I waved my hand: "You should take it with you." ”
The Fairy Empress hesitated and said, "What would you do if Remy woke up and asked you for the crown?" ”
"As long as no one mentions it, she basically doesn't remember the crown," I said, "Besides, if she really wants me to ask for the crown, I will bring her to you again." ”
"That's fine," the Fairy Empress said as she seemed relieved.
I went home first, asked my family to take care of the sleeping Remy, and then went to Boss Wren's tree house.
Boss Wren interlocked his fingers, stared at the two crystal bottles on the coffee table, and was silent for a long time.
"What do you think?" I asked him, "Use their toxins to develop poisons for assassination." ”
Boss Wren frowned for a long time, then suddenly exhaled lightly and said, "It's not appropriate." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The poison of these two insects is not something I can control" He shook his head and said, "Once poisoned, even if you rescue them immediately, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Is it really that strong?" I frowned and said, "I haven't told you anything about the toxins of these two bugs!" ”
"Needless to say, I know," Boss Wren sat up, leaned back on the sofa, took a long breath, and said, "That unpleasant smell has penetrated through the cracks in the bottle, penetrated into my nostrils, and stimulated my sense of smell." ”
"This worm, I suggest you better kill them all and bury them deeply, no, it's better to burn them first and then bury them deeply, so that it won't affect the soil."
Hearing such a serious comment from Boss Wren, I couldn't help but be stunned.
How venomous does this bug have to be to reach such an exaggerated level?
"Is there really nothing that can be done?" I didn't give up and asked again.
Boss Wren shook his head: "Don't think about it, it's impossible." ”
With a sigh, I left the treehouse, and before leaving, I asked Boss Wren, "How's the matter going about Akahavi?" ”
He shook his head: "The clue is currently interrupted, we have to wait." ”
"Then wait," I said, "When you have a clue, continue to investigate, by the way, you have time to draw the structure of the mausoleum where the artifact dagger is buried, and when you have time, we will go together." ”
"You're going to take out that dagger?" Boss Wren exclaimed.
"yes," I said, "I'm interested in that dagger, and I'd like to know if it's possible for you to activate that artifact." ”
Boss Wren's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What if I can activate it?" ”
"Then it's yours."
