Gerald had forgotten how he sent the three merchants away, he was now full of the names of the Hearthstone Inn and Anduin, originally heard Van Cleef's evaluation, he thought it was just a false alarm, the so-called Earl of Anduin, at most the level of appreciation is relatively high, it is impossible to have the superb cooking skills that match, but I don't know that the result is much more serious than imagined, if the Hearthstone Inn is not far away in Stormwind Town, he will go directly to the door now, and see what kind of door Anduin has.

Gerald's face was gloomy as water, and a waiter walked up to him, and asked with a smile, "Boss, there are guests who want to use the box that has just been vacated." ”

Gerald, who was angry, replied angrily: "Tell him no way!" ”

"Gerald, did you take gunpowder?"

An unhappy voice came from the side, which immediately made Gerald excited, and immediately showed a flattering color, and said respectfully: "I've seen my lord!" I'm sorry I lost my temper, but it was a trivial matter that upset me. ”

The person who spoke was the Minister of Parliament of the Silver Fortress, and next to him stood several high-ranking officials of the fortress, and coincidentally, the head of the inquisition, Archbishop Kidd, was one of them.

When the Minister of Parliament heard that the Earl's steak had a good response, he made an appointment with Kidd and others to discuss the princess's engagement, and the Minister of Parliament wanted to take this opportunity to unify his voice and oppose the engagement when Prince Terenus officially announced his engagement.

If the princess's engagement partner was just an ordinary person, the Minister of Parliament would not do so, but the problem was that the other party was also from a good background, the son of a nobleman on the southern border of the empire, and more sensitively, this family had a bad relationship with the lost magical capital of Dalaran.

Seeing that Gerard had a good attitude, his face immediately improved, and in the form of greetings, he asked casually: "What trivial matter, let's hear about it?" ”

Gerald's heart tightened, everyone present was a fortress magnate, if he told the truth, wouldn't he push the Silver Hotel into the fire pit? What's more, who will host the banquet, the Minister of Parliament and the rest of them have a certain right to make suggestions, his eyes rolled and his eyes turned cold, Gerald had an idea in his heart, and immediately said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I guess you have also heard of the Earl Steak in this restaurant." ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Gerald pretended to regret, shook his head and said: "This matter is a long story, we have to start with the naming of the steak, President Van Cleef felt that the original pan-fried steak was defective, so he borrowed some of the views of the Earl of Storm to comment, Chef Gordon humbly improved, so that there is an excellent flavor, we in order to thank the Earl of Anduin for his contribution, we specially named it Earl Steak." ”

Hearing this, the Secretary of State and the others nodded secretly, most of them felt that Gerald had done a good job, while Archbishop Kidd showed a look of course, as for why he behaved like this, even he felt a little weird.

Gerald continued: "Our intentions were good, but we were misunderstood, and word came that Earl Anduin was dissatisfied with Chef Gordon and made improvements based on his opinions, and wanted us to stop making the improved pan-fried steak and apologize to him. ”

Gerard saw that everyone's faces were solemn, he smiled secretly in his heart, and sighed and said: "I found that the kindness was not reciprocated, and the mood was a little bad, and I also hope that my personal reasons will not affect the dining mood of your distinguished guests, what about the earl steak, it will be served as usual, I will send someone to find the Earl of Anduin in a while, and discuss the solution, you will sit down first, and the meal will be delivered immediately." ”

"And that kind of thing?"

The Parliamentary Minister's face was quite serious: "Prince Terenus is very sad about the unfortunate death of Count Berval of the Storm, and it is at that time that he chose to agree to the request of Her Royal Highness the Princess. When it came to the final discussion of who would succeed to the earldom, or was I in favor of having his only blood cousin, the trainee priest Anduin, succeed him, how could a young priest who should be kind to others be so careful? ”

As soon as these words came out, several people next to him also made similar evaluations, and Gerald saw that his goal had been achieved, and he walked out of the door without changing his face, but when he closed the door, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze looking at him, and suddenly his spine was cold, and his heart tightened, and he immediately closed the door tightly.

Gerald wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his face was full of fear: "It's worthy of being a terrifying referee, I can't stand it just by looking at me, strange, my performance should be flawless, how could he show that kind of look?" ”

Gerald chose to deliberately smear it, naturally he had his reasons, first of all, the old Frye's response, which made him feel the crisis, as the only supplier of the royal family, the old Frye had to personally collect ingredients for Anduin, which was tantamount to some kind of extremely dangerous signal, you must know that the relationship between the old Frye and the fortress royal family was very good, otherwise he would not have compared the royal family's meals with the bread he had eaten.

Secondly, his smear tactics are more ingenious, he did not deliberately splash dirty water, but just used the subjective emotions of the parliamentary secretary and others to put Anduin on the opposite side from a perspective that is not light or serious, thus elevating his status and Gordon's status, and eliminating the possibility of the Hearthstone Hotel being halfway to the production of the banquet.

If the matter is revealed, he has a lot of options to shirk responsibility, and he can continue to stand in the position of victim by finding a few scapegoats at random.

The only thing that made Gerald unable to feel at ease was the cold gaze of Archbishop Kidd, in order to comfort himself, he only thought that it was the occupational disease of the magistrate, after all, the Holy See has been cleaning recently, and it is estimated that everyone has problems up and down the inquisition.

Gerald happily prepares to deliver the food, and the topic in the box gradually changes from Anduin to Princess Celestia's engagement.

During this period, Archbishop Kidd remained silent and did not speak for Anduin, first, he was not sure whether the matter was true or false, and secondly, his relationship with Anduin was not very good, and he did not follow others to accuse, which was already a good performance.

"Anduin's matter, put aside for the time being, I gathered a few people today to discuss the marriage of the eldest princess, Prince Terenus suddenly changed his mind unexpectedly, so I can't find time for a formal meeting, so I can only choose this opportunity to meet in advance."

The Minister of Parliament looked at the people present with a heavy face: "Maybe some of you still don't understand the importance of this matter, so I must state once again that Her Royal Highness the princess's favorite person is named Presto, from the southern border of Alterac, although this young man even I think is very good, but his identity is extremely sensitive, nominally a magical nobleman who belonged to the empire earlier, but in fact, his family has never severed ties with the magical capital. ”

The Minister of Parliament couldn't help but stand up, pressed his hands on the table, and said solemnly in a very oppressive posture: "Although there has been no dispute between the Empire and Dalaran over the years, we must not take it lightly! Those crazy magicians never give up on making a comeback! I hope that you will join me in stopping the engagement, and never allow the flame of magic to begin to ignite from the north of the Empire. ”

This impassioned oath did not resonate much.

This parliamentary minister has always been known for his fairness, and he can think for the royal family with a clear conscience, so he often contradicts Prince Terenas's resolutions, but most of the people present dare not be so tough, especially if this matter will offend Her Royal Highness the princess, and they have many concerns in their hearts and are reluctant to say more.

The Minister of Parliament was furious in his heart, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and finally heard the head of the referee: "Judge Kidd, I think you should have an opinion on this matter, right?" ”

The people present immediately looked at Kidd with indifferent eyes, as the number two person in the Holy See of the fortress, he should have heard the opinion of the Pope, after all, holy light and magic have always been two camps.

They wanted to refer to the Pope's meaning and reply to the Minister of Parliament, but the archbishop shook his head and said: "Let's talk about this matter after lunch." ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they all wondered if the person in front of them was still the famous referee? Why did you suddenly become interested in food?

A person who was close to him joked and said, "Archbishop Kidd, is it that you check people all day long, and your physical exertion is more serious?" Just now we were talking about Anduin, and you just sat there silently. Huh! I suddenly remembered, didn't you go to Stormwind Town to cook Benedictas before? It stands to reason that you should have had contact with the young Earl of Storm, and what happened? Has he ever been intimidated by your prestige? ”

In the Silver Fortress, although Kidd's name did not reach the level of a child's crying, it was also terrifying, for this question, Kidd didn't want to answer, let alone scare Anduin, he was educated upside down by Anduin!

But his silence made everyone more and more curious, and they asked again and again to know the result.

Among the present, the most helpless was Kidd himself and the Minister of Parliament, one of them was unjustifiably killed, and the other was thrown into the sewer by others with his blood, and the two of them couldn't say anything about their bitterness, but fortunately Gerald returned in time, thus stopping everyone.

Kidd secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't express the resentment in his heart, suddenly remembered Gerald's previous words, and immediately regarded him as a target to vent, and asked in a cold voice: "Gerald, as far as I know, Count Anduin is not only a qualified priest, but also a student of Lazarez, the right hand of the Holy Light, His Majesty has approved him to receive the title of the incarnation of the Holy Light, as the head of the Inquisition of the Holy See, I feel the need to maintain the glory of the Holy Light for him." ”

The chief of the referee slowly stood up, and asked sharply in an absolutely strong and cold tone: "Gerald, I hope you can explain the cause in detail, and I will give you the result after careful investigation!" ”
