Chapter 5 Departure
The Papal State is too far away from the southern Celts to be beyond the reach of the whip, and if he intervenes directly, the amount of materials and energy consumed is incalculable, and he may be detected by the eyes of the Holy City.
Then we can only retreat for the time being, not to let Barr leave the Catholic camp, but to make her a saint.
Such as...... Make some scandals and splash some dirty water on her.
This kind of thing should not be difficult to do, but it can't be done by him personally, and the specific matter should be reported to the empire and let the official spy agency figure it out.
By the way, let those four traitors taste the bitterness of the designated seal!
Yalei subconsciously still has some feelings for the other two demon leaders, but he has no idea of rebuilding the burning hell at all, and as for the four secondary demon kings, he only has the urge to deal with them quickly.
If these four traitors know each other and are willing to join forces with the Empire, the black-haired knight doesn't mind holding back for the time being, after all, the Universe Evil God is the biggest trouble.
After figuring out the key, he quickly drafted a report, stamped it with his own seal, and mailed it out in an expedited channel with the highest level of secrecy.
After doing this, the black-haired knight went to the backyard to continue honing the sword of water until evening, when it was almost time for dinner, when he returned to the courtyard.
Yalei returned to the courtyard and casually uncovered a pot, the hot mist with an alluring aroma directly into his heart, making him feel like he was back in his childhood.
Kara and the others were packing up because they were going to sea, and as soon as the black-haired knight unveiled the pot, the greedy insects came to smell like the wind, holding a king-size porcelain bowl in their hands, and looked at him with blank eyes.
"Didn't you say pig's trotters were dirty?" said Arley deliberately whetted their appetite.
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty, we take care of it cleanly, we know best, it's much more hygienic than the barbecue on the street!" everyone's heads shook like rattles.
"Didn't you say pig's trotters were scrap?" he continued.
"It's not a scrap, how can it be a scrap to make such a delicious thing!" the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.
"It's just that the stupid cooks in the camp won't do it, and it's a waste of materials. Kara stared at the open iron pot with both eyes, smacking her lips and grumbling indignantly.
"Yes, yes, as long as the chef is right, even a snail can be turned into a delicacy, and there is a famous dish called snail baked in red wine in Gaul. Goethe nodded in agreement.
"If only you could understand. ”
The black-haired knight's face was full of relief, so he was willing to let go of his body and waved his big hand: "One person and one pot, eat it directly with light soy sauce after slicing, and it will taste better with the mixing." ”
As everyone scrambles to get the pig's trotters, the ghost maids come forward with plates and serve them the ingredients.
Mixed with garlic, red wine, and sour (vinegar), the appearance of the hooves instantly rose to a higher level, and they couldn't wait to taste a few sips, and soon closed their eyes intoxicated, and they were full of praise:
"I didn't expect pig's trotters to be so delicious!" Goethe quickly swallowed the hooves on his plate, his expression changing in confusion and intoxication.
"It's hot, but it's delicious!It's delicious!But it's hot!" Luo Luo's mouth was not as resistant to heat as the rest of the people, and his eyes were full of tears, but his swallowing speed was no slower than others.
"Delicious, the boss really turns waste into treasure!"
Kara devoured the dinner plate, poured a sip of red wine, felt the mellow aroma of hooves and the fat but not greasy taste mixed with the aroma of wine in her mouth, and her expression was serene as if she was in a dream.
"Such a delicious thing, the price is super cheap, it's really cheap!" Bruno thought a lot, and even felt that this was a change that would change many people's perception of ingredients.
"Pig's trotters should be widely promoted as an ingredient!" said Lydia, who had changed her mindset about the ingredients.
The praise of the crowd made Arei very proud, but he knew very well in his heart that although the hooves were really delicious, they were not much better than the food they usually ate.
The reason why these bear children are full of praise is only due to the first taste, coupled with the psychological gap between waste and food, resulting in extra points. They followed the black-haired knight to eat a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the taste was nourished early, and occasionally changed to fresh food, but this dish was still from their own hands, which made them feel extremely delicious.
However, since this group of gourmets has accepted the pig's trotters, there should be no reason for the big-headed soldiers to refuse.
Taking advantage of the feast of a few people, Yalei summoned guards and asked them to gather a convoy to seal and load hundreds of iron pots into the cart and transport them to the camp outside the city as quickly as possible.
This is the time when the New Army camp closes up and takes a shower and prepares for dinner. The fighters, as usual, squeezed into the public baths and washed a few times, then returned to the dormitory to tidy up and rest for a while, and then waited boredly for the sound of the dinner trumpet.
When the long-awaited trumpet sounded, the soldiers of the New Army quickly lined up into the canteen and waited for dinner. Of course, you have to sing before eating, you can sing whatever you want, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, but you have to have momentum.
Dinner was simple and delicious, with lettuce and steak as the main course, as well as corn salad, smoked sausages, and buttery bread served with a glass of hot milk.
More than half of the soldiers of the new army are wild locals, and the rest are demonic victims, who are used to the bitter life, and the standard of living has improved significantly after enlistment, so they support the rule of the Governor's Palace.
After they were seated, they were just about to enjoy a sumptuous dinner when they heard the sound of the convoy entering the camp, and soon a large group of soldiers in the uniforms of the guards carried hundreds of cauldrons and hurried into the canteen.
Since the two armies often fought side by side and cooperated with each other, the feelings between each other were still good, and as soon as the soldiers of the Guards Army entered the door, the canteen began to greet each other noisily.
After explaining a few words, the Governor of the Guard and the Commander of the New Army walked to the front of the cafeteria and explained in a loud voice:
"Your Excellency, Governor, has decided to add food and hooves to you tonight!"
After saying that, the guards placed the iron pots on their tables, and then quickly delivered the ingredients.
While they were laying out the food, the soldiers of the New Army began to whisper to each other, what a good thing this hoof is, where is the famous dish, why have we never heard of it.
The discussion was naturally fruitless, and after everyone lifted the lid of the pot, they were in no mood to discuss.
The tempting aroma of the pig's trotters in sauce will instantly cover up all the food, and when they take a tentative bite of the pig's trotters with anticipation, the soft and fragrant, fat but not greasy taste instantly conquers them.
It's delicious!
After everyone took a bite, they turned into hungry wolves, holding the plate and devouring it quickly, and for a while, the entire cafeteria was filled with the clanging sound of knives and forks hitting the plate fiercely.
That night, not a single pig's trotter was left from the pig's trotters sent by Yalei, and all of them were eaten by the warriors, not even the soup was spared.
Of course, the crowd didn't know that they were eating pig's trotters, and when they realized that what they were eating turned out to be pig's trotters, the group of warriors who had crossed the mountains and crossed the wilderness quickly accepted the reality that it didn't matter what it was, as long as it was delicious.
After the soldiers accepted this ingredient, the cooks naturally had to follow suit, and the ordinary civilians, of course, were happy to see an additional ingredient close to the people in the recipe.
Since then, pig's trotters have been thoroughly promoted as a formal ingredient in southern Celtic.
However, it is still slightly different from the kind of promotion that Yalei imagined, because the name of his inventor is far more than the influence of pig's trotters as an ingredient itself.
For this reason, the locals affectionately call the pig's trotters – the governor's hoof.
This practice of associating dishes with the names of local governors is not a malicious tease or ridicule, but a simple way for people to express their affection and support in good faith.
It boils down to the fact that he's done really well on Celtic in the past few years.
The Celts, who had bullied them for a long time, brought the Gentiles into submission and restored the Governor's Palace. The creation of jobs at the factories in Nera, as well as substantial support for infrastructure and trade, led to an increase in the standard of living of the inhabitants of southern Celt.
Also under the leadership of the black-haired knights, the Southern Celts rose from a small, transparent province with no name to the focal point of the empire, and everyone knew about their exploits and bravery. With a secure reputation and material foundation, and different promotion channels for future generations, how can these once wild Rosevians not be grateful to Dade.
Coupled with the invention of serving pig's trotters on a dinner plate, it was clear to all the common people that their superiors were well aware of the people's sufferings and were always thinking about their livelihoods.
The simple Celtic inhabitants held their gratitude in their hearts, and could only express their support and love for the Doge in their own way - the pig's trotter dishes were collectively called the Doge's Hoof.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yare's prestige among the people of the Celtic province has risen to a level that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Public opinion was on fire, and the name of the governor's hoof naturally spread throughout the southern Celts, north to the highland kingdoms, and south to the Gallic provinces.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the governors and lords everywhere couldn't help but try it after hearing that the dish of the governor's hoof was born. Snickering at Celtic's poor and sour, even the waste of pig's trotters is hungry to make dishes, but also secretly admires Yalei's ruthlessness.
What kind of ruthlessness? Of course, it is hard and simple!
A dignified governor, a powerful minister, and a feudal official, can actually cook pig's trotters so delicious, behind this seemingly glamorous, how many disgusting pig's trotters have been eaten.
With the fame of the black-haired knight, the birth of the Governor's Hoof suddenly became big news, and it was not only talked about by the people, but also soon spread to the royal palace in the Eternal City.
When Vice-Emperor Alex learned of this, he was speechless for a long time, tried to eat a bite of the so-called governor's hoof, and finally only sighed softly - it was really bitter for him.
At this time, Yalei didn't know that he would make such a big news on a whim, and he inadvertently brushed up a lot of prestige, because he was now on the route to the New World.
......
To the west of Celtic, now known as the Atlantic Ocean, was once thought to be an endless sea that stretched to the ends of the world. It wasn't until the discovery of the New World that Antarazu realized that this ocean separated another continent from the World Island, and that the western border of this continent was the true end of the world.
Unlike the Mediterranean, the sparkling, pale blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean are more majestic, with layers of waves like crystal walls, rampage against each other, splashing up patches of water like torrential rain.
And today the weather is clear, and a beautiful and calm three-masted sailing ship is breaking the waves, and the waves are crashing against the hull of the ship, making a heavy and powerful muffled sound.
The ship was loaded with fine hides and canned herring, disguised as a merchant ship from the three Baltic states, and had a legal permit issued by the three states. Due to the peculiar conditions of the three Baltic states, Lydia is the ostensible boss - a warrior officer under the command of a Valkyrie, and everyone on board, including Yalei, is disguised as her servant.
At the same time, they also prepared a pirate flag, passes, and a pirate code so that you can dress up as a pirate at any time.
This is just a matter of emergency, as the Freedom Alliance has a probe for War Paints, and if they encounter a maritime executive equipped with a probe, they can only leave the commercial route and depart from the pirate route.
And the risk of passing through the pirate route is extremely high, and the fleets of the Free Alliance, including the Empire, rarely enter and exit, because there are too many sea monsters and strange sea areas, which can be said to be a territory that has not been fully touched by humans.
Except for the outlaws such as pirates, no one wants to go too deep into this strange sea, and the Rousseville Empire and the Iberian Federal Kingdom have tried to develop these seas, but the loss of maintaining the fleet is too great to make ends meet, so it can only be put on hold for the time being.
It was not yet in the sphere of influence of the Freedom Alliance, and the people on the ship could naturally relax, half of them lying on the deck, admiring the blue of the Atlantic Sea and the indescribable sunshine.
The sea breeze blows into people's hearts with a salty smell, and it seems to broaden people's hearts, and this time it will take a long time to cross the Atlantic, so everyone has time to appreciate the charm of the ocean.
The name of the ship was "Ruby", and it was known as the taste of some nouveau riche at first hearing, the captain of the "Ruby" was quite young, only in his thirties, and most of the others were still working as first mates at his age, but on the other hand, it also indicated that the captain was quite capable.
He had been introduced to Arley by Amber and is currently under the name of the Sound Nest Consortium, with his salary actually being paid by the Governor's Palace.
I don't know if it's because it was just out of the sea, but there was a pair of albatross perched on the mast, one of which had no feathers on its buttocks, and the black-haired knight looked familiar, so he didn't drive away the two birds. (To be continued.) )
