19 Lively night
[This is a gill mermaid egg containing a recessive aphrodisiac, and the drug has been fused with the fish egg itself through a special cooking method, and a certain degree of mutation has appeared]
……
Under the cover of the candlelit chandelier overhead, the quail egg-sized fish egg in front of you is milky white, delicate and delicate, and it must be soft and delicious when you want to chew it.
It's just that the flow of information that comes to mind clearly shows its shadows.
Because of the fish roe, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively at this time, but because this meal was the finale of the dinner, everyone was waiting for the old earl on the throne to take the first bite.
The young nobleman next to him was also silently waiting, but his eyes were always drifting in the direction of Bernie and some other deacons, consciously or unconsciously.
His anomaly was hidden, but it couldn't hide from Bernie's eyes.
And through the reminder of this mermaid egg, Bernie also discovered that the maids who were busy in and out of the hall seemed to be very charming.
Do you want them to make a fool of themselves in public?
The thought crossed Bernie's mind, but then he denied it.
In public, if you really can't help but make some special moves, it is easy to be stopped.
And if the banquet continues until midnight according to the normal process, the guests will inevitably stay in the manor.
After all, the manor is located in the suburbs, and no matter where you go, you have to walk for a while, which is not very safe at night.
So the effect of this thing should be very slow.
Do you want to do something in the middle of the night......
It's a corny joke.
Glancing at the young nobleman next to him who was still very calm on the surface, and then at the old earl who had drunk too much and was standing up with the support of the woman next to him, Bernie muttered secretly.
The deacons of the church are generally transcendental, but it is sometimes difficult for the transcendent to guard against some intrigues and tricks of ordinary people, especially those of low rank.
At present, if this scene is not recognized, it is actually very destructive.
Bernie didn't know exactly how it would be done, but if you thought about it, if you stuff a few maids into the drugged deacon's room in the middle of the night, and then there is another case of coercion the next day, then the reputation of the few people is destined to turn very stinky.
Deeper, if the maids who are sent into the room are pregnant women, then the effect is even stronger.
Dig deeper, and the maids die the next day......
However, there are many issues to consider, the most important of which is to deal with the church's follow-up after the fact.
But now that they have made a move, it is clear that the way back has been arranged.
Thinking about it, Bernie became interested in eating the fish egg.
But before they could officially start eating, there was a sudden commotion outside.
This was accompanied by the sound of some fast-running footsteps.
"What happened?"
The old earl, who had just stood up, was a little displeased, and a servant who was with him hurriedly went out to check on him.
But before he could step out the door, a maid outside the hall hurried over with a skirt, with a panicked face.
"The Earl is not good! It's on fire outside! ”
"Then destroy it!"
Hearing this, the Count of Cambore reprimanded: "There are so many fires every year, haven't you gotten used to it!"
"But, but it's burning your barn......"
As soon as these words came out, the old earl, who was originally unconcerned, suddenly changed his face, and then said eagerly: "Hurry up and put out the fire, don't let my treasures be burned to death!"
The maid departed, and some of the servants who had served the guests at the banquet also ran out to help.
Then, in the face of the strange gazes of everyone present, Count Cambore smiled reluctantly, "Let's continue, it's not a big deal." ”
……
"My father's favorite pet is to have pets like cats and dogs, and his pets are all kept in the animal house now."
The young nobleman next to Bernie explained softly, "The beast house is far away from us, and the fire can't spread. ”
Bernie nodded.
He knew about it, and on the way there the neighbors had mentioned the old earl's penchant for pets, and Bernie knew that the parrot they had given to the Count of Cambore was now kept in the barn.
That's a good point......
Thinking thoughtfully, seeing that the Earl of Camboray had swallowed his egg, Bernie swallowed the contents of the silver cup under the expectant gaze of the young nobleman next to him.
The young nobleman secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and looked in the direction of the other deacons, but saw no accidents, so he was completely relieved.
Then he smiled and said to Bernie, "If Deacon Bernie likes this food, I can ask the kitchen to make another one later, and then send it to your room in the evening." I mean, after the party, maybe you'd like to have a late-night snack? ”
"I'm looking forward to it." Bernie did not refuse the other party's "kindness".
This made the young nobleman secretly amused, and then he casually talked about other topics, and on the surface there was nothing unusual at all.
Bernie's appearance is also unremarkable.
Not only him, but the other deacons who ate the fish eggs of this trait all looked normal.
Obviously, it will take some time for the drug to take effect.
But the banquet that followed was not peaceful.
After a while, another hurried footsteps rang out from outside the hall, and a servant burst in.
"Oh no, Lord Earl!"
"Don't tell me my babies are burned to death."
The old earl, who had sobered up a little because of the fire, sat on the throne with a black face.
"It's a warehouse, and the warehouse is on fire!"
"You mean the fire is getting bigger?"
"Yes!"
"What do you eat? More than 100 people can't put out a fire!? ”
"We have extinguished the fire in the barn."
When the servant heard this, he cried and said, "But I don't know why, there are many houses in between, and the warehouse is on fire for some reason......
"It's obvious that someone is setting it on fire."
I don't know who said it among the banquet guests, which caused everyone else to nod.
The feast ceased to take place, and the people walked out of the hall vigilantly, ready to help extinguish the fire and find the arsonist.
Unfortunately, although their presence eased the fire, they did not find the suspect, but found that many valuable items were missing from the warehouse.
It seemed to be a thief, but without the slightest clue, the matter had to be closed.
The Count of Cambore therefore ordered the convoy to keep an eye on him throughout the night, while he himself beckoned his servants to arrange rooms for the guests of the banquet.
And because the interrupted banquet was not finished, he also thoughtfully instructed the kitchen to prepare a supper for everyone.
It seems to be over for the time being.
But that's just the beginning.
Led by a servant, Bernie arrived in a guest room in the manor.
Then, when the servant was gone, his mind moved, and a milky white fish egg the size of a quail egg appeared in his palm with a burst of black mist.
Even if it is something swallowed in his stomach, Bernie can collect it into the black mist world, let alone in his mouth.
Now, he's ready to process the egg and use it for something.
