Chapter Seventy-Five: But This Is the Second Blow

Kidd's sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was not until this time that the Secretary of State and others remembered that Anduin's identity was not as simple as an ordinary priest, and Gerald, who was almost asked about him directly by the head, was even more messy, and he didn't expect that the little Count Storm was actually the embodiment of the Holy Light that the Holy See focused on.

Speaking of which, it was because he was too involved in the work of the Silver Hotel that he missed a lot of important news, and now there is a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger.

In the face of Archbishop Kidd's questioning, Gerald trembled, the end of the villain publicly executed by the Inquisition is vivid, even if he is also a nobleman, he is afraid of it, but he knows one thing very well, if he confesses, the Silver Hotel will be completely finished, so he fought hard to meet Kidd's fierce gaze, and reluctantly said: "Archbishop Kidd, although I Gerald is not a decent man, but I will not slander others out of thin air, just now someone did come to the door and convey the news to me." ”

"Who?"

Kidd refused to give up, and asked in a cold voice, and Gerald said stiffly: "A stranger, who seems to be a Stormtowntowner, left in a hurry after he finished speaking, I wanted to ask him to bring a message to Earl Anduin, but in a blink of an eye, he ran away. ”

"Humph! Your words are full of loopholes! Kidd snorted coldly, instantly seeing through the problem, "As far as I know, a few days after the official launch of Earl Steak, how could this news spread so quickly to Stormwind Town, and was sent in response by ordinary townspeople?" ”

"This ......"

Gerald's words were suffocated, but he didn't panic, because when he just spoke, he guessed that Archbishop Kidd had found a flaw, and immediately looked surprised: "But this is really the case, that person's tone is very tough, and he directly said that he came on behalf of Earl Anduin, I didn't think about it at the time, I just planned to entertain him well, but after you said this, I suddenly found something suspicious, that person covered his face with a scarf from beginning to end, I thought it was the custom of Stormwind Town, and after saying that, I ran away directly, Maybe I'm afraid I'll ask what happened. ”

What Gerard has to do now is to push himself to the side of the victim, and for this kind of statement, Archbishop Kidd does not believe it, he just wanted to continue questioning, but was suddenly interrupted by the Secretary of State who couldn't stand it: "Archbishop Kidd, just enough, Gerald is obviously also a victim, after all, the tree is very popular, his silver hotel is so prosperous, it is bound to attract jealousy, and it is normal to use some indiscriminate smear methods, Earl Anduin should be taken advantage of, he does not know about this matter." ”

The one who was close to Kidd also chimed in: "Archbishop Kidd, we all know that the recent work of the Holy See is a bit complicated, which will inevitably affect normal life, relax and relax, there are not so many prisoners in this world, a good lunch, don't make it an interrogation room in the Inquisition." ”

Seeing that everyone began to persuade, Archbishop Kidd could only accept it when he saw it, and sat down slowly, Gerald saw the eyes of the Minister of Parliament, and ordered someone to send the old four kinds of head plate - smoked salmon, and introduced it warmly again, but because of the episode just now, the mood of the people present was not too high, and when he heard Gerald's emotional introduction, he didn't say anything, and after eating, he just nodded lightly, so that Gerald didn't dare to say anything, and immediately led people out of the door.

As soon as the outsiders left, the Minister of Parliament began to speak: "Whether this is true or not, why should you be so angry? Although Anduin is the embodiment of the Light, he is a student of Pope Lazarez, and if one day, he seeks a high position in the Holy See in the fortress, Archbishop Kidd, do you think he will have his heart set on the fortress, or Port Royal? ”

The starting point of the Minister of Parliament is often to focus on the interests of the Silver Fortress, but if the interests of the fortress are harmed, he will most of them oppose it, so he is not interested in the title of Anduin, and he does not have much good opinion in the first place, which is even lowered.

When Kidd heard this, he said that I was suddenly angry, and I was not annoyed by you? Of course, there are also reasons for Anduin! However, he did not agree with the opinion of the Minister of Parliament, the Holy See has always been one, regardless of the Silver Fortress and Port Royal, not to mention that Anduin's last words to him, although there were some slaps in the face, but he sincerely agreed, even the belief in the Holy Light does not have to be confined to the form, so where is the factional division?

However, the magistrate did not argue with the Secretary of State, because during the purge of the Holy See, the Pope deliberately reminded him not to clash head-on with the royal family, so Kidd chose to remain silent, of course, only temporarily, and it was not his style to suffer losses, and he stared at the smoked salmon on the plate, and suddenly had the idea of fighting back.

Bang Bang Bang!

Gerard went and returned very quickly, at this time, he never dared to snub the people present, especially in the face of the referee, he was even more cautious to the extreme, for fear that a small problem would cause the other party to be furious, but the serving process was controlled by him perfectly, but the problem appeared in the dishes that should have no problem.

Most of the ministers and others who had recovered a little appreciated the seafood soup, but Archbishop Kidd suddenly put down the utensils after taking a sip, which attracted the attention of others.

Gerald swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously, "Archbishop Kidd, if this seafood soup is not to your liking, I will replace it with another soup for you." ”

"No need!"

The chief referee stiffened his face and his attitude was extremely tough: "I thought there was nothing to be known for, but it turned out that Chef Gordon was just not worthy of his name." ”

"......"

Gerald's face was ugly, and he looked at the smoked salmon that had been eaten a lot, and he stopped talking.

The Minister of State guessed Archbishop Kidd's plan and said lightly: "I think these two meals taste good, and everyone here has eaten quite a lot, Archbishop Kidd, don't be too nitpicky." ”

Kidd secretly sneered at the Secretary of State's rebuttal, who said he was nitpicking? As someone who has eaten xiao long bao and heard hot pot, he does find the taste of smoked salmon and seafood soup a little problematic, and although he doesn't have the same describing talent as a bearded dwarf, it doesn't prevent him from making a point: "No! This is by no means nitpicking, and all I can say is that there are a few people in this room, but they have never eaten anything really good. ”

"Heh, Archbishop Kidd is so sure, he must have eaten it?"

The Chancellor's heart was furious, and he wanted to take the opportunity to discuss important matters, but it turned out to be like this, causing his tone to become serious.

And Gerald, who was standing on the side, although he was very glad that the Secretary of State was always on his side, but this scene made him feel familiar, as if he had entertained the old lord and Van Cleef before, and then recalled the three merchants who had just left, and Gerald had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Of course! This smoked salmon and seafood puree, which I have tasted at the Hearthstone Inn of Earl Anduin, tastes and tastes far superior to Gordon's creations. ”

Archbishop Kidd's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he told lies loudly, he sneered in his heart, since you Gerald dared to pull out Anduin in public, then why can't I? Anyway, it's more troublesome to verify, and it doesn't matter if Hearthstone Inn can make these two dishes, it's important that I can be happy!

Here it comes! I knew it!

Gerald's eyelids jumped, his hunch came true once again, and to his infuriation, the damned Hearthstone Inn and Anduin, who didn't know what magic they used, made everyone who ate say yes.

Although the Secretary of State and others did not believe Archbishop Kidd's words, Gerald had to believe that if it was just ordinary people who supported the Hearthstone Inn, he would not have to do so, but the positions of Van Cleaf, Old Frye and Archbishop Kidd were more prominent than the other, so he couldn't ignore them.

The Minister of Parliament's anger was completely aroused by Kidd, and said in a cold voice: "Archbishop Kidd, I don't want to affect the mood of all of us for your personal reasons, two obviously excellent dishes are useless by you, Anduin's territory is just a small storm town, how can it be compared to a chef from the imperial capital?" ”

"Ha, there are no wonders in the world, why does Stormwind Town have to be worse than the imperial capital?"

Kidd is still very confident in this, because when he asks himself, he secretly admires the taste of xiaolongbao, and as for the two kinds of bread that have references, he still remembers them vividly.

Seeing the tension between the two sides, Kidd's friend had to stand up and play a round: "Hehe, it's just a small thing, you don't have to be angry, Gerald, go and bring the famous Earl steak, I'd like to hear what Kidd's Archbishop Church thinks?" ”

The crowd smiled playfully, the Earl's steak was questioned by Anduin and improved by Gordon himself, and if Kidd was determined to side with Anduin, they wondered how the referee would do it.

It didn't take long for Gerald, who was full of solemnity, to bring people back and serve Earl steak to everyone present, I have to say that Gordon's cooking skills are very good, and the color and aroma have been praised by the Minister of Parliament and others, as for Kidd, who is determined to make trouble, he has to admit the taste of this dish, but even so, it does not prevent him from continuing to stir up the situation: "Well, yes, worthy of the Earl of Anduin, although it is just a pointer, it makes this steak show a wonderful taste." ”

Hearing this, Gerald had the strength to choose to accept it, and he hated Anduin to death in his heart, why did that broken inn overpower us everywhere? And what made him even more angry was that after Archbishop Kidd finished eating, he suddenly said: "Gerald, change the last dessert for sweet bread for me!" ”

Well?

None of the people in the room understood what the referee meant, but Gerald was almost so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Sweet bread, sweet bread, I'll go to your uncle's sweet bread!

You guys are crazy, aren't you? What's so good about a sweet bread? Why do you have to eat sweet bread?

However, what is even more tragic is that he has no reason or qualification to refuse the archbishop's request, so he can only send the carefully baked sweet bread again, and once again he sees that he has only been eaten and put aside, and once again hears a voice full of deep meaningβ€”

"But that's it!"
