Chapter Twenty-Seven: Their Respective Dinners
In the evening, when everyone sat down around the table and prepared to enjoy dinner, Yalei sat upright in his seat, holding the nearest document in his hand, and kept flipping through it, staring at one of the lines of text without moving, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Although Kara and the others didn't know why, the momentum of not being angry and arrogant still made them a little awe-inspiring. The black-haired knight's crisp governor's uniform and neatly trimmed short hair added to that seriousness.
In fact, Yare's mind was blank at the moment, and since the unfortunate accident at noon, when he saw Lydia, he would think of many discordant images.
In order not to let himself be cranky, he had to use paperwork to divert his attention, but ...... It didn't work out very well.
Yare...... It's dinner time. ”
Charlene tapped the white porcelain cup in front of her with a silver spoon and reminded him in a whisper.
"Oh, let's get started. ”
He raised his right hand and motioned for the ghost maids to start serving, his eyes wandered around the table, and after inadvertently touching Lydia, who was secretly looking up, the two parted in an instant as if they were electrocuted.
The black-haired knight buried his head back in the paperwork, and the latter smashed his face directly on the dinner plate, and with a snap, the smashed table trembled slightly.
"......" reacted so violently that everyone looked sideways, wondering what kind of trouble this female knight had made herself a poisonous beauty.
When the hot flush on her face faded, Lydia slowly raised her head, only to find that everyone was sneaking at her. A void in my heart for no reason. hurriedly and wittily argued:
"Nothing! just because after getting the isolation bracelet. I'm a little too excited. ”
I see, everyone showed expressions of understanding.
"How was your rest last night?" Charlene looked at the female knight and asked with concern, but the essence of the greeting was lacking in her bland tone.
"Good. The other replied in a slightly embarrassed tone.
Calm down!Anyway, I've seen it once when I'm in the Black Seat, what a big deal!
Yalei put down the paperwork in his hand, picked up his beloved glass teacup and poured a sip of strong tea, and after stabilizing his emotions, he said unhurriedly:
"There's news from the inside line on the King of the Highlands. Grand Prince Kenneth has successfully advanced to the rank of a legendary rune warrior, and it is said that this level of rune warrior is rarely seen in a hundred years. ”
At this time, the ghost maids brought an aperitif, including sherry, gin, and Highland whiskey, and poured a shallow sip for them according to their own choice.
Clark took a sip of his wine glass, looked at his companions left and right, and said with some confusion: "Rune warriors?
Because of the long embargo and isolation, the Rosevian people know very little about the people who have been run over all the way to the island. However, some horror stories often feature Celtics.
They wore black cloaks and hoods, and their entire bodies were hidden in the dark. He has straw-like hair, pale skin, and red eyes that glow at night.
There are even stories that they would use the urine of a child, oh, sometimes the blood of a virgin, or the hair of a dead man, or the nails of a crow, or the droppings of a bat, or anything like that, to strengthen their weapons or their own strength...... Ah, whatever it is, it's the villain forever anyway.
"On this point, I think Kara, who fought with them, has the most say. After saying that, the black-haired knight glanced at the whiskey with his index finger, but was filled with a full cup of strong tea again by Charlene.
"I've seen a Legionnaire-level rune warrior. ”
Kara raised her neck and took a sip of sherry wine, smacking her lips with satisfaction: "I haven't been eliminated for so long, and my combat effectiveness is indeed not low, but it shouldn't be the opponent of any of the Scourge Knights here." ”
"Legendary-level is one order higher than Legion Captain?" said Nicole as she cut a goose leg for herself, then turned her gaze to the black-haired knight.
"Yes. Yalei nodded.
"Then there's nothing to worry about, right?"
A man who claimed to be an abstinent drinker put his tongue deep into the wine glass, licked it around, and then said unsatisfactorily: "The legion commander level can't beat us, and the legend level can't beat us." ”
“......”
The black-haired knight continued to take a sip of strong tea a little depressed, but shook his head lightly and said nothing.
The next appetizer caviar was served by the ghost maid, and Bruno took a casual scoop with a fishbone spoon and put it into his mouth, first gently spread it on his tongue, and slowly crushed the caviar one by one with the tip of his tongue, enjoying the delicious and silky touch, and then took a sip of gin when the aftertaste dissipated.
Nicole dug a full spoonful of herself, and diligently dug a full spoonful of Clarke, and then asked with a smile:
"If you don't speak, does it mean that you don't have faith?"
"Not really. ”
Yalei picked up the napkin and gently wiped the side of his mouth:
"If the gap between the Legion Commander and the Legendary Lune Warrior is the gap between the fourth and fifth orders, this is nothing, if it is the gap between the third and fourth orders...... That's a bit of a hassle. ”
"But why does this legendary rune warrior only appear once in such a long time?" Clark said rather puzzled:
"Is it a high demand for talent?"
"Talent is one thing, but the more important thing is probably the lack of money. ”
Kara swallowed a mouthful of fruit salad, leaned back in her chair, turned the knife in her hand, and chuckled:
"The spy leader I killed last time, when he got serious, he summoned a bunch of weapons of various abilities, including attack, defense, healing, reconnaissance, interference, and sneak attack, which is simply a mobile arsenal. If I hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have almost been plotted. ”
"So you have to be careful in the future. The black-haired knight solemnly instructed.
The ghost servants brought the sweet soup, and Charlene gently stirred the soup with a spoon, which struck the inner wall of the porcelain bowl. There was a soft ding-dong sound.
"The Rune warriors themselves are just that. We also need to be careful about the backhand of the Papal States and the Mage Confederation. They may be able to support some of the highlands' dangerous weapons. She said with some distraction.
"We also have new weapons. ”
Kara raised her eyebrows slightly, and motioned for the maid to pour herself a full cup of sherry, only to pour a large cup of strong tea, and he immediately looked up dissatisfied, and found that Aree was holding a cup of strong tea to himself.
“......”
With his buttocks, he could think of whose instruction it was, and this man could only pour a bitter face with a mouthful of strong tea that was no different from tea syrup.
Next up is the tuna flakes.
Lydia carefully pressed the round lemon slices with a knife to allow the lemon aroma to permeate the delicious fish, and then forked it with a fork. After dipping it in the sauce next to the plate, I ate it deliciously.
This tuna practice made her feel the taste of home.
In fact, the ghost maid's tuna fillet, which the black-haired knight specially asked them to do, can be described as pure Corsican flavor.
Clark took another sip of his wine:
"New weapons?"
"And the new army, you'll see it soon. Yalei frowned and took a sip of the sweet soup, pushing it aside.
"What are we supposed to do?"
Clark chewed on the food his girlfriend kept handing over, his face full of happiness.
"All incorporated into the Forces nouvelles. ”
The black-haired knight cut off a piece of steak and swallowed it in two or three bites. glanced at Nicole, who was drinking sweet soup:
"Nicole, you won't have to worry about the brave town and that messy little thing in the future. Give it to Alcia and report to Nightmare Ruins tomorrow. ”
"Finally free!" the knight slumped in her chair in an exaggerated manner and cheered.
"What about me?"
Seeing that everyone had their own tasks, Beverly sat up nervously and pointed to his nose.
"Are you ......?"
Yalei smiled slightly, looked at the other party and said, "In order to facilitate the internal contact with the Highland Kingdom, I need a spy agency of my own, are you willing to give it a try?"
"So daunting?"
The red-haired boy suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth, then quickly took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and said embarrassedly: "But I don't understand it at all." ”
"What's so hard about that. ”
Kara poured a sip of strong tea and began to coax blindly: "Use your ability to make a little nun, and you can soak the daughter of the noble lady of the Highland Kingdom." Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you can teach students. ”
"Makes sense. Beverly nodded earnestly, with a serious look on his face.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. ”
The black-haired knight motioned to the ghost maid to pour him another cup of strong tea, and then said slowly:
"I plan to arrange for you to have direct contact with the Imperial spy Pullet, you follow him to learn skills secretly, if you can achieve something, I will have a lot of use in the future. ”
"Okay! fight!" the red-haired boy gritted his teeth and nodded, accidentally starting his spy career.
"Oh yes, you don't know yet. ”
Nicole winked at the crowd, then smiled and said, "Arei recently got a super powerful weapon, don't you want to see it?" ”
"There's no way to use it, it's just a delicate work of art, if you want to see it, you can come to my room and look at it casually. The black-haired knight tasted the tuna meat and said helplessly.
"That's right!"
Bruno looked at Yalei and went straight to the point: "Last time, that candied lady, I heard you say that she seems to be an orphan of the Pandoragon dynasty, is this really the case?"
"That's right, a speculator who wants to restore with the help of the power of the empire, she herself is a thorn in the side of the Fannon family, so there is no threat to us. ”
The black-haired knight nodded, and the maids served the roasted venison.
"This venison is so fat. ”
Kara drooled as she looked at the fragrant roasted deer.
Yalei glanced at the whole roast deer on the plate, stood up unhurriedly, took out the saber on his waist, and after the black fire was entangled in the poison, he instantly divided it into nine parts:
"Everyone has a share of this deer, but don't rob it, I'll share it. ”
There was a brief silence, but Charlene took one of the pieces, carefully cut them into small pieces, and put them in her mouth, and then plucked a portion of the fork into her lover's plate:
"What's mine is yours. ”
......
Highland Kingdom, Palace.
Under the shelter of the barrier, the flower beds of the courtyard are still verdant, the scent of jasmine and tulips wafts through the air, and the red or yellow fruits dot the foliage.
Sora walked past the stone-paved vestibule, skirted the main hall, and approached Kenneth, who was enjoying dinner alone: "It's rare that you didn't have a banquet today. ”
As if to deliberately provoke the other party, her tone always had a hint of sarcasm.
"Banquets are just for fun, and if you don't have that effect, there's no point in holding them. Kenneth took a sip of whiskey and turned his gaze to his wife:
"It's rare that I didn't invite you, but you took the initiative to come over and don't sit down to eat together?"
"Okay. ”
The princess actually agreed, carried both sides of her skirt, sat opposite the prince, and simply tasted a few bites of the food, and then put down the fork:
"Is your recent research going well?"
“......”
Kenneth stopped eating and glanced at his wife with some excitement: "I heard me right, are you paying attention to my research results?"
"Yes, you have so much confidence in yourself, and you feel confident in me. She said slowly.
"It's going well, in the next few days, the top-level rune props that match my identity will be completed, and when the time comes, whether there is such a damn sword in my hand or not, it will be the same for me. ”
His Royal Highness the Prince endured the excitement in his heart and said excitedly.
"I hope your research goes well enough, but as a wife, I still have to advise you, even a legendary rune warrior is no match for the Origin Knight, so it's better not to be too inflated. ”
Sora quietly looked at her husband opposite, her right hand gently playing with a strand of her drooping red hair, and a smile on her face.
"Swelling?"
Kenneth's face suddenly flashed with a trace of impatience and anger, and he put down the cutlery in his hand heavily:
"How many times do you want me to repeat it, self-confidence and inflated are the same thing? Don't you have to hear the name of the Knight of Origin to tremble in order not to swell? How can you be so similar to my stupid brother!"
"But that's the case, the Legion Commander level Rune warriors can't win the Scourge Knights, and of course you can't win the Origin Knights, and the Rune props also have limits. The princess was not moved by the other party's anger, and continued to look at him lightly.
"Listen to Sora, the Knight of Origin is not a god, and he has never fought against a legendary rune warrior, so there is no reason why I can't win against that governor!"
After speaking, His Royal Highness the Prince pulled the napkin in front of his neck, looked at the delicacies on the table, and completely lost his previous appetite.
Sora sighed lightly, "Calm down Kenneth, you should learn to face reality." ”
"Enough!"
Kenneth slammed up from the table, pulled out his napkin and threw it on the table, and walked towards the Rune workshop without looking back. (To be continued.) )
