"What do you guess they are thinking?" Standing at the staircase on the second floor, Ma Shen shook the wine in his hand, turned his back to Luo Kun, and asked without looking back, in his sight, some of the guests attending the banquet were wandering out of the world, and some were smiling and communicating, no different from before.

"I guess they're thinking about how to get an adult's canonization at the least cost. Luo Kun's eyes flickered a little and replied.

"I guess that's the case. Ma Shen turned his head to look at Luo Kun with interest, "Lord Luo Kun, it seems that you have no interest in the knighthood?"

"Of course I'm interested, after all, it's a knight canonized by Lord Ma Shen himself. Luo Kun saluted respectfully, "But I don't have a suitable candidate, even if an inferior person becomes a king, it doesn't mean that he is a king." ”

"This sentence is quite reasonable, but which university scholar said it?"

"This is what my brother said in the war of the usurpers. ”

"How is he now?"

"He was killed in the Battle of Riverrun not long ago. ”

"That's a shame. ”

After chatting with Luo Kun for a few words, Ma Shen felt that the time was almost up, and he was a little hungry: "Let's go, let's go eat." ”

"Well, don't you want to discuss the matter on the other side of the Narrow Sea?" Luo Kun's expression was a little shocked.

"Let's talk after the banquet, it's time to eat. Ma Shen enthusiastically wrapped his arms around Luo Kun's neck, ignoring Luo Kun's embarrassed look, and emphasized, "This is the last big meal." ”

The last big meal? Luo Kun didn't understand the meaning of Ma Shen's words, was this a warning to himself that if he didn't obey obediently, then this would be his last dinner, thinking of this, cold sweat overflowed from Luo Kun's forehead.

"Let's go, Lord Luo Kun" As if he didn't see Luo Kun's strange appearance, the bold Ma Shen walked to the hall with Luo Kun's shoulder.

"Okay, my lord" Luo Kun behaved more respectfully, his little life was in the hands of the wolf slayer, and he must behave well, and he could not find any problems.

Seeing Ma Shen and Luo Kun walking over shoulder to shoulder, the nobles on the field suddenly had a lot of thoughts, when did Luo Kun and the wolf slayer have such a good relationship, could it be that Luo Kun went to contact the wolf slayer in private.

However, as a foodie, Ma Shen didn't care about those nobles who liked to intrigue, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he let go of Luo Kun and focused all his attention on the food on the long table.

The burnt pork looked very delicious, Ma Shen made it to the main seat with a solemn face, and the servant brought a knife and fork and gently placed it in front of Ma Shen.

"Well, it's fragrant, it's good. Ma Shen put a few slices of golden roast pork in his mouth with a fork, and sighed, the roast pork here is a little different from the pork in the north, it is all sliced here, and it is different from the large pieces of pork in the north, and it is more flavorful.

There is also a roast whole chicken, it smells very fragrant, Ma Shen put down the knife and fork, refused the help of the servant, and directly took a roast chicken with his hand, how do you need to use a knife and fork to eat the whole chicken, hand grasp is the king.

"The taste of the whole roast chicken in Orleans, no, there is a kind of Beijing called flower chicken in it. Ma Shen was horrified to find that the chicken was made by the chef with the taste of Orleans roast chicken and flower chicken in the case of scarce seasoning.

A superb chef, Ma Shen's eyes lit up, and he ate this roast chicken in one go, and he was a little dissatisfied, and he couldn't wait to eat all the roast chicken on the table, but after glancing at the other guests, Ma Shen still restrained his **, he was the host, how could he grab something to eat with the guests.

Reluctantly glancing at the rest of the food, Ma Shen decided to go to the kitchen himself and ask the chef to open a small stove for himself.

After passing through a few rooms, Ma Shen came to the kitchen, and like the servants who were waiting outside, the kitchen was also busy, perhaps the nobles held banquets, and the most tired were the cooks and servants.

Randomly finding a chef who was cooking soup, Ma Shen asked, "Who made the roasted whole chicken outside?"

"It was made by Tereo, my lord," the cook nervously wiped his wet hand on his apron.

"And what is he doing now?"

"Therio, Lord Ma Shen is looking for you!!" the soup cook shouted, turning his head.

For some reason, the kitchen fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their heads to look at a very busy young man at the same time.

Giving them a strange look, Ma Shen came to the young man's side: "You are Terio, what are you doing?"

"I'm making Terio bread, bread that bears my name. Tereo didn't look up, but went about her work.

With an unbearable expression, Ma Shen watched as Tereo skillfully poured rattan pepper oil, tomato paste, and soy sauce into the flour in turn, and then sprinkled a thin layer of pepper and chili powder.

I didn't use all the seasonings left over from the kitchen, such as salt, sugar, peppercorns, and five-spice powder.

Just thinking about it, Ma Shen watched as Terio stretched out his hand to milk powder, coffee powder, and wine again...

"Wait!" Ma Shen asked cautiously, "Why don't you taste it before you decide if you want to add it?"

"You have to believe in my level. Terio raised his head a little annoyed, wanting to see which brother was so faceless, but found that it was Ma Shen standing in front of him, and quickly bowed apologetically, "My lord, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like you're making a good roast chicken, make a few more if you can. Ma Shen only felt that his roast chicken was not bad, and as for this Terio bread, he would never taste a bite.

After the feast, Ma Shen did what he had just said, and asked the servant to give each guest a pen and a piece of paper that had already been prepared.

"Please write the name of the recommended person and his merits on it, and after receiving it, I will take a closer look, and the specific candidate will be announced at noon tomorrow. After everyone had got the pen and paper, Ma Shen said loudly.

"Okay, sir" "Got it, sir"

Everyone cooperated and lowered their heads and wrote on the paper.

Then after writing, he handed the paper to Ma Shen one by one, and some people made a conversation by the way.

"Lord Ma Shen, I heard that you are still unmarried?"

"Yes, I haven't found my true love yet. ”

"If you want me to say, you should have started a family at your age, I have a daughter. ”

"Ahem, Baron Shas, I haven't had the intention of doing so lately, so please don't stand in the way of the people behind. Ma Shen hurriedly urged this Baron of Shas, you look so ugly, your daughter must not be good.

After handing over the paper, it means that the dinner is over, the merchants left the banquet with a heavy heart, and the nobles are not as heavy as them, for the nobles, although a knighthood is very important, but it is not indispensable, so they are still relaxed and chatting slowly away from the Burning King Tower.

"Goodbye, Master Ma Shen"

"Goodbye"

Finally over, seeing off the last guest, Ma Shen wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, turned his head to Luo Kun, who was standing respectfully behind, and said, "Let's go to the study now to discuss the itinerary on the other side of the Narrow Sea." ”

"I don't know why you want to go to the other side of the Narrow Sea, which is probably a very unfamiliar territory to us. Luo Kun asked strangely after Ma Shen.

"Lord Luokun, don't be funny, I heard others say that when you were young, you traveled to the mainland on the other side of the Narrow Sea for 3 years. ”

"It was an unforgettable experience. ”

While chatting, Ma Shen took Luo Kun to the study of the Burning King Tower, and the servant had already piled all the notes on a plate.

"Sit down, Lord Luokun," Ma Shen said straight to the point, stretching out his hand to the seat in front of his desk, "my destination is Astapon across the Narrow Sea. ”

"Astapor, the Astapor on the edge of the slave harbor?"

"Yes, it's the Astapor, do you know how to get to Astapor?" asked Masa.

"To get to Astapor, it's best to get to the Free Trade City-State from the harbor of King's Landing via Blackwater Bay and the Narrow Sea, then to Astapor by water, or from the Stormlands to Astapor, but we'll have to walk a lot more from Harrenhal. Luo Kun paused as he spoke, and glanced at Ma Shen, who was listening carefully to his speech on the other side.

Seeing Luo Kun stop, Ma Shen didn't move, still looking at Luo Kun quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that Ma Shen did not react, Luo Kun cleared his throat: "So we need to take a boat from nearby Crab Bay, due to the food and water on board, we also need to stop in the Stormlands or Dorne to resupply before we can cross the Narrow Sea, go to the free trade city-state, and finally reach Astapor." ”

"In other words, we need to stay one more place than we need to leave King's Landing. Ma Shen nodded.

"Yes. ”

"How much time will it take?"

"Hmm... "I can't estimate the exact number of days, but it may take two months to get from Harrenhal to Astapor. ”

In the past two months, it has been four months back and forth, plus some other things, it has been 5 months, I don't know what the dragon mother is doing now, Ma Shen looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
