Chapter 329: The Castle!
The entire castle was busy overnight, and the last old butler, who had been retired for sixty years, and enjoyed the last days of his life, was recalled overnight, commanded the people in the castle, and began to prepare for the aristocratic banquet that had not been used for sixty years.
A strict visit to a candelabra, to the selection of utensils, and even the Imperial fleet stationed nearby were urgently called in, and overnight they crossed most of the empire's territory to the baron's hometown that was about to be visited, and bought the best hometown ingredients.
In addition, the lights of the Winged Star Governor's Mansion remained all night, and the entire administrative power of the Winged Star was passively used, the roads were blocked, martial law was imposed, and the entire planet, along with the power of the thirteen life planets controlled by the Wingman Candle Three, was mobilized.
One qiē and one qiē, all just to make the baron who will visit tomorrow feel at home, or not to let the winged man candle three lose face in front of the baron.
The old butler, who was almost one hundred and fifty years old and had entered the twilight of his life, was a little excited, as if he had gone back to sixty years ago, when a nobleman had also come to the castle to visit Wingman Candle Three.
The old butler still remembers the pomp and circumstance of that day, the tableware made of silver zuò by the Secret Se, with the family crest of the first generation of nobles of the Winged People family, and the condensing crystal cup, which is a product of Augustus I, each of which is worth tens of millions of black cards.
There are also the ingredients used, all of which are the most precious treasures of the castle.
Thinking of the pomp and circumstance of that day, which was about to reappear in front of him, the old butler was a little short of breath, and instructed the ignorant new butler to quickly take the bottle of Caterina that had been treasured for three hundred years to be decanted and chilled.
The new butler was still a little embarrassed, that bottle of wine was the treasure of the Winged Man Candle Three, three hundred years of Caterina was worth hundreds of millions, this kind of wine queen named after the Duchess Caterina, each bottle was extremely expensive.
The Duchess, in particular, had stopped making wine herself since a hundred years ago. The price of this three-hundred-year-old Caterina has soared to an incredible price, and even the birth of the most beloved little daughter of Winged Man Candle Three is reluctant to take it out to celebrate.
"You know what! It's just a bottle of wine, do you think a real aristocrat cares about a bottle of wine? All they care about is attention and face. ”
"In the face of winning the friendship of a nobleman, the power of the world is false."
The old butler blew his beard and glared at him, and the new butler was a little unconvinced. "It's just a baron, but the lord is a viscount." ”
"Shut up, Lord Baron is also a nobleman!"
The old housekeeper was arbitrary and decisive, and even if others were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything, and they were busy according to the old housekeeper's intentions.
By ten o'clock in the morning, there was only one and a half hours left before the scheduled time. The old butler became more and more anxious, and the cutlery, candlesticks, tablecloths, and even the distance between the chairs, and the frescoes on the walls, had to be checked and adjusted one by one.
And other than that. There are also countless people busy on the entire section of the Winged Star from the city of Kadar to the ancient castle. Make sure nothing goes wrong.
In one night, almost 100,000 people directly participated in the preparations required for this banquet, and indirectly, I am afraid that no less than a million people stayed up all night, just to ensure today's banquet. You can enjoy both guests and hosts.
And the two protagonists who created this busy scene, the third viscount of the winged candle and the pseudonym Baron Li Xunluo, were calm and indifferent, and they didn't say anything all night, waiting until ten o'clock in the morning. Tomb of Li finally set off.
It was still the fifth-generation extended red flag, but this time, in addition to the escort of the military land cruiser piloted by Li Tomb's bodyguards, the ground defense forces of the sky, the ground, and the entire Winged Man Star were mobilized to secretly escort Li Tomb.
So much so that the busiest thoroughfare, the road out of the city, was so empty that not a single car was visible, and even the buildings on both sides of the road were indicated, and every commanding height was guarded, pretending to be the masses of citizens, the families of various administrators, or the students in the schools.
All the files have been checked, and those who have a little bad record are all excluded, and this kind of behavior is almost comparable to a royal trip.
In fact, the political atmosphere of the Black Prison Empire is good, although it is an imperial country, the royal family and nobles have a good reputation among the people, and the nobles will not have such a big battle when they travel on weekdays, like the capital star field and the north shore star field, where the nobles have frequent interactions, they have become accustomed to the exchanges between the nobles, and they have their own set of treatment plans, which will not affect the lives of the people.
But this is the Winged Star, a place that has been hundreds of years away from the mainstream society of the Empire. If the remote retreat made up by Li's tomb is the countryside of the Black Prison Empire, then it is just a larger town.
So it's inevitable that there will be some sensationalism.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Li Tomb arrived at the ancient castle of Winged Man Candle Three, at this time, those who had been busy all night had already been evacuated, and only Winged Man Candle Three was left in the entire ancient castle, and there was a very beautiful woman to greet him.
"Your Excellency."
"Your Excellency, Viscount."
Winged Man Candle San and Li Tomb glanced at each other, smiled at each other, said hello to each other, and walked forward, as for the beautiful woman, she stood quietly aside, smiling without saying a word, maintaining respect.
I don't know what the identity is, but being able to stand here obviously has a lot to do with the Winged Man Candle Three.
"This is my youngest daughter, Tsubato Asakura, and she will serve her at today's banquet."
"I've seen Lord Baron."
Wingman Asakura smiled and saluted Li Tomb, and Mei Mei looked at Li Tomb, a little curious, obviously did not expect Li Tomb to be so young.
Li Tomb nodded, did not speak, and walked side by side with the Winged Man Candle San, the Winged Man Asakura led the way in front, and those bodyguards of the Li Tomb were naturally not qualified to enter, so they could only stay outside.
However, the red mutant parrot pretends to be a pet very well, standing on the shoulders of Li Tomb, with a board and eyes.
The reason why the red mutant parrot came this time was because it relied on its mind-reading ability, which may not be useful to the nobles, but the noble family members such as the Winged Man Asakura are of miraculous use.
At least now the red mutant parrot unconsciously began to read the thoughts in the heart of the wingman Asakura, and the group of three entered the ancient castle, Li Tomb and the winged candle three sat opposite each other, the winged man Asakura is the most beloved little daughter of the winged man candle three, but today it is really just the role of a maid, and there is no qualification to enter the table.
A series of delicacies were sent up by the Winged Man Asakura, including yellow beef and sturgeon roe that were abundant in the castle, as well as hometown ingredients that were airlifted from the hometown of Li Tomb overnight, and even the chef who made that dish was airlifted overnight.
Along the way, the Imperial fleet was used, and most of the territory of the Empire was traversed, just to make that dish.
It can be said that this banquet has grasped every detail, which makes Li Tomb have to be shocked, and the power of Winged Man Candle San as an old viscount in the Black Prison Empire.
Even if the presidents of some multinational groups have a net worth of hundreds of billions and give them enough time, maybe they can do this, but only one night, if they want to prepare for this, or even use the imperial fleet, then no one can do it except the nobles.
"The taste of home."
Li Tomb put down the knife, wiped his mouth gently, and said quite satisfied.
The winged man on the opposite side, Candle Three, smiled and took a sip of the three-hundred-year-old Katarina, "Your Excellency's hometown is indeed very good. It reminds me of the battle at the Dadu River. ”
"At that time, the situation of the empire changed abruptly, and the galactic battlefield was defeated one after another, and the army I led held on to the Dadu River for a month, and the supplies were eaten up, so they could only eat the fish in the river, which was also this kind of black fish, and they were all fed extremely fat by the corpse."
"You don't need fire, you can make sashimi directly, and it has a bloody taste, which makes people obsessed."
Li Tomb's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be recalling, "Then Your Excellency is much luckier than me." At that time, it should have been the autumn of 41, I was in the Maori Star Domain, with the Xilin people, and I was almost surrounded by the southeasters. ”
"The three group armies, including the Royal Third Fleet of the Xilin people, 30 million troops, have been fleeing for their lives for two whole months, and only one million people survived in the end."
Winged Man Candle Three's gaze softened.
For these nobles who survived World War II, even if it was the first time they met, it was impossible to miss the topic, and the magnificent war that swept the entire universe was the best thing to talk about.
The nostalgia, disgust, love, and all kinds of feelings for that war can only be truly tasted by them.
Therefore, as long as the aristocracy does not involve the interests of the heavens, the situation is generally very harmonious, even if an ASEAN nobleman and a Western nobleman sit together, it is the same.
Not to mention that three thousand years have passed since World War II, and who can really know the cruelty or beauty of that war except for them.
Although Li Tomb has also never experienced the Second Cosmic War, but with Skynet, he has long woven his apocryphal baron identity to the point that there are no flaws at all, and the memory of some details of the Second Cosmic War is a must, otherwise it is easy to be in front of other nobles.
The two chatted for a while about anecdotes from World War II, and the banquet was almost over, so Tsubasa Asagura withdrew the table and invited the two to the tea room.
Tsubasato Asakura respectfully boiled the tea, and after distributing it to the two, he turned around and retreated, pulled the door open, and left the space for the two of them.
At this time, only Li Tomb and Winged Man Candle Three remained, and it was time to talk about business.
Li Tomb didn't mean to hide it, he got straight to the point, directly took out a yellowed ancient map from his arms, and pushed it in front of the Winged Man Candle Three.
Winged Man Candle San was in high spirits, knowing that the play meat was coming, and he was not in the mood to taste his favorite tea soup on weekdays, so he picked up the ancient picture and looked at it carefully.
Li Tomb didn't speak, drank tea quietly, and waited for the Winged Man Candle Three to finish checking.
Winged Candle Three checked very carefully, it took four hours, at this time the sunset had already set, Wingman Candle Three slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, put down the ancient map in his hand, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, "That's right." It is indeed an antiquity of an ancient civilization. (To be continued......)
