Chapter 34: Looking Up at the Stars
Except for Bismarck, who was almost the apex of humanity in his own right, the other knights became stronger. This is not an enhancement in one aspect, but an enhancement of all abilities in addition to intelligence.
Of course, Jeremiah's will did not increase, but his will itself was as high as 16, and it is also said that it was not strengthened.
The will of the sixteenth can be said to be as indestructible and tenacious as steel.
Sinloth glanced at the attribute bar of these drunken guys a few more times, and there was a dark tide in his eyes. He didn't understand whether those traits with question marks were good or bad, but Roland's mortal saints didn't look like ordinary traits no matter how they looked.
The previous Palatine traits are inexplicable, but they can also be considered an appreciation for good warriors. But the current mortal sage has led things in a strange direction. Xinluos clouds and mountains are covered in fog, and it is not clear to see.
It is true that the Church is the only legitimate religion recognized by the Empire, but veterans like Roland, although still fearful of the Lord, are not at all interested in the shepherds.
Will such a guy become a saint in the church?
Stop it.
"Contractor, even the gods of eternal devotion have eternal sleep, but please don't doubt the correctness of the system. The dimension you are in is too low, and for you now, the system can be said to be absolutely correct. β
"Absolutely?"
"Yes, absolutely. This world is too small. β
"That's right."
Sitting at Desmond's long table, while waiting for dinner, Sinloth announced his decision to the knights. Plans to leave today were abandoned, and Lord Desmond decided to postpone his trip by two days.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about us. Even with one hand, I can now put down a hundred and eighty stick boys, and vomit" The drunkard, whose face was flushed, bragged loudly, and gave a big hiccup.
"My lord, I'm sorry, this time I lost my temper, I promise" The calm first knight apologized to his feudal lord, even if he had a body that was far beyond ordinary people, but he was poured so much by those reveling lords yesterday, and he drank with Roland for a long time during the day, and the iron beaters couldn't stand it.
"I said it doesn't have to be so formal. After all, this is a big deal, and it's good for everyone to have fun together. Bismal Keqing, the Fanzhuo family doesn't break so many rules. β
Originally, it was Sinloth's teasing words, but Bismal turned his face and persuaded, "Your Excellency, you must not do this. Even the Scriptures say that you are so casual that it is good for those people to know about it. Once there are no rules, where will your majesty be?"
"Hahahaha, I know, but it's all your own people here, just be casual."
"That's what you said."
Loyal and powerful, Bismal is the perfect knight. is a slightly stereotyped temperament, which makes the relatively frivolous Xinluo a little difficult to accept. But he also knew that the knight's advice might not be to his liking, but it was indeed a serious word.
So Cynroth clapped his hands and changed the subject.
The lord shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Jenny, what have you been up to?" Why haven't we had dinner yet, I'm starving. β
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My lord, today is a bit special, so some time was wasted."
Originally, she had been sitting in her father's arms, and she was concentrating on playing with her father's long black hair. Big blue eyes twinkled with little stars: "Huh? Is it delicious? Don't have to eat wild boar today? β
Jenny has quick hands and feet and has a lot of cooking experience. In the kitchen, she has always had the power of dominance like a demon king, and it usually doesn't take her much time to cook for the people of the castle alone, and I don't know what it is today, so she needs to waste so much time.
Jenny always seemed to have a fear of Sinloth, and never let the lord go hungry.
"Yes, Miss. It's a rare good thing today, and it's definitely worth looking forward to, Robert, come and help me. This stuff is a bit heavy."
"Okay, Mom." The maid in black agreed, and hurriedly trotted into the kitchen.
A short time later, Jenny and Robert came out of the kitchen carrying a huge wooden basin, which was still covered with a white cloth. The two of them placed the wooden basin heavily on the long table, and Jenny even gasped slightly, as if the contents of the wooden basin were not light.
"This is"
"Look up at the stars." Jenny smiled and uncovered the white cloth on the wooden basin, and for some reason, at the moment when the ordinary white cloth was lifted, Xinlos faintly saw a measurable light gushing out from under the white cloth, with an unparalleled momentum into the sky.
What the heck
Of course, the above is all Xinluos's brain supplement, in fact, the white cloth is still a white cloth, and there is nothing special about it. Jenny lifted the white cloth, revealing the huge pie half a meter wide underneath. The golden pie body exudes a faint sweet fragrance that is mouth-watering. There were also six huge fish heads on it, and the white eyes were looking up desperately at Desmond's ceiling, as if to complain about the tyranny of the kitchen demon king.
Xinluo covered Ellie's curious eyes with a blank face: "Ellie, don't look, Jenny who has nightmares at night, what is this." β
"Look up at the stars." Jenny's expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of smugness at the corner of her mouth.
"It's stargazing"
"Jenny has that kind of talent, it's really"
The name is quite poetic, but how can it be so bad.
Compared to the pseudo-aristocratic Sinloth, Bismarck and Roland are obviously knowledgeable. Bismal looked at the golden pie in front of him, and his eyes were slightly intoxicated: "How many years, I didn't expect to be able to eat it in Desmond after leaving the royal capital."
"Yes, I only ate it once that year when I went to Dijon with my eldest sister, and I will never forget this taste. I thought I would never be able to eat it in my life, but fate is really"
Seeing that these two knights were paying so much attention to the golden yellow in front of him, Xinluo was also a little interested, maybe its taste was not as strange as it looked?
"Oh? Is this lump of starry sky delicious? β
"The best taste in the world."
"After eating it, I didn't touch it for a month, I just didn't want it to taste away from my mouth." Roland sighed, stood up, and looked at the three young knights who were sleeping on the long table: "These three guys have such luck, it's really envious, it's just that Lord Xinluo used to celebrate the autumn harvest festival in the royal capital, didn't he eat it?" β
"No, I've never been a fan of food, just bread and water." Xinluo opened his eyes and said nonsense, as a person from the food province, he had never eaten anything except airplanes flying in the sky and four-legged stools on the ground except for stools.
"Really? That's a shame. Roland seemed to feel sorry for Sinloth.
It looks like it's really delicious. In this case, Sinloth put up with it for the time being, he resisted the urge to throw this thing out, and removed the hand that was blocking Ellie's eyes: "Then let's eat and see." By the way, this thing is so big, how do you eat it? β
"Of course it's cut, please wait a moment, my lord." Robert took the knife from his mother's hand, and habitually shook his hand, and the knife danced a brilliant silver light between the slender palms.
"Huh?" Bismal, who was at the long table, frowned deeply as he watched Robert swing his knife. He subconsciously looked down at Robert's right foot. The straight legs were hidden under the long black maid's skirt, and it was impossible to see clearly, but Robert's right shoe was
Bismal realized, and he looked up at Sinloth. I found that the lord was watching with interest as Robert cut and looked up at the starry sky, and the words were muffled in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
It's just that, it's not too important anyway, everyone has their own past. If you take it too seriously, you will lose a lot of fun in life. The stereotypical knight comforted himself so much, and it was rare to violate his own knightly creed.
It was definitely not to eat what her mother made to look up at the starry sky, so she let this matter go.
"Bismal Keqing, I see that your face is so strange, do you have something to tell me?"
"No, sir. It's just that I haven't eaten for many years, and I feel a little emotional. β
"When you say that, I'm looking forward to it even more."
"The taste of it will not disappoint adults."
Robert's hand is very steady, and the knife is also very neat, and the knife swings smoothly without the slightest hesitation. This skilled appearance really doesn't look like a maid, but more like a warrior who is good at short swords. However, considering that she would be angry, Sinlos didn't ask much. The descendants of knights will always find a way to restore the family name. It's not too strange to let the only daughter practice martial arts, as for why she gave up in the end
That's her own business, and Sinlos can't take care of it.
In a short time, the huge golden pie was divided into seven parts, large and small. The maid respectfully put the largest and smallest shares in front of Cinnloth, the largest was naturally for him, and the youngest, of course, was for Ellie.
Xinlos looked at the golden pie in his plate, and when he didn't have the curious fish head, it still looked quite normal, and it did smell good, but he didn't know if it was as good as the knights described. Cynroth raised his knife and fork, carefully cut off a piece, and stuffed it into Ellie's mouth, which had been waiting for a long time with her mouth wide open.
"Ellie, how's it going, is it delicious?"
"Hmm" a faint flush climbed up Ellie's snow-white and delicate cheeks, dyeing her lovely face a faint pomegranate color, Ellie blinked her eyes, and her big blue eyes were full of confusion: "It's delicious, it's delicious"
"Even Ellie said that, is it really so delicious?" Sinloth didn't notice anything wrong, and he cut a large piece from the plate and put it in his mouth. As for the fish heads, he would never touch them when he died. Today's dinner was a little later than usual, and he was indeed hungry.
The snow-white shellfish gently bite into the golden pie, and the rich aroma spreads along the taste buds on the tongue to the entire mouth. Sinloth carefully savored the taste of looking up at the starry sky, shrimp, mushrooms, bacon, and some wine. Xinluo felt the sweetness in his mouth, and the taste was indeed not bad, but if there was only this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, it would not reach the kind of Cheng dΓΉ that Roland said at all, that is, the level of Jenny usually. Wait, this is
Not?
Well?
Woo!
A strong and strange smell exploded from the tip of the tongue, like the singularity of the Big Bang, sweeping across the universe with unparalleled momentum and light and heat. Sinloth opened his mouth, like a fish dying of thirst, and wanted to cry out, but he was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body. The indescribable, inexplicable taste, after dominating his taste buds, has usurped his control over his body in a very short period of time.
Sinloth's eyes widened as he watched as his body fed pieces of pie into his body like a marionette. This feeling of being controlled by others and losing the right to control one's body couldn't be worse. In the midst of this extreme fear, the world of Sinloth slowly descended into darkness.
Looking up at the stars is poisonous
