Lancaster was taken aback when he heard William's introduction, his red eyes hidden under the mask first widening in surprise and then narrowing rapidly. He held one hand to his chest, and the other hand propped his chin in thought.

William didn't care what he was thinking, and walked over with ease. As he walked, he took a closer look at his surroundings. The soldiers who were originally responsible for carrying the goods were shocked when they saw William, and they all stopped what they were doing and discussed in a low voice. Some of the guys who looked like the ringleaders gave a few fake reprimands and left them alone. William withdrew his gaze and walked in front of Lancaster, smiling and saying, "Is this how you Lancaster family greets distinguished guests?"

Lancaster came back from his contemplation, and he carefully looked at William's appearance and compared it with the portrait of the one in his mind, and then made a polite gesture again and said very respectfully: "Excuse me, but I neglected the honored guest." Count Frederick, please be at ease. ”

William shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and saw that Lancaster had called to one of his subordinates, who had ordered something, and then the subordinate had ordered a few soldiers to bring over some tables and chairs, and spread white tablecloths. A few bright red flowers that I didn't know where to find them were placed on the table in a delicate container. Some silver cutlery was cleaned and placed on a makeshift table, and a soldier carefully placed a white candle on a lampstand and slowly lit it. Several soldiers, under the supervision of the leader, ran to Lancaster with a cloth bag that had been sealed to death.

Lancaster took the bag and handed it to William to examine, then took a delicate dagger from the hand of the attendant on the side, and slowly used the dagger to open the seal, and a rich fragrance gradually spread through William's nose.

Lancaster took a handful of fragrant coffee beans from his bag and said to William with a smile: "This is a little bit of coffee beans that I bought from Copenhagen, so I would like you to taste them today." ”

William looked at the coffee beans in his hand with a nostalgic smile on his face, and he laughed and said, "That's my pleasure." I kind of can't wait, really. ”

When Lancaster heard William's words, a smile appeared in his eyes, he carefully handed the coffee beans to his entourage, then looked at William's wound and said, "Before we have dinner, I think your wound also needs to be treated." I can still help with this little favor. ”

William spread his hands and said, "Thank you very much." ”

Lancaster called over a paramedic who was with him and gave him a few words before he said apologetically to William, "I'm sorry, I think I need to leave my rough guys now, lest they make our delicious dinner a terrible affair." So please allow me to leave me alone. With that, he turned and left the place.

After William waited for him to disappear, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and his whole expression immediately became very heavy. He first thanked the doctor who had helped him with his wounds. And then the heart was heavy thinking about everything about the Lancasters.

In a few moments, it was already dark. The soldiers lit their torches and fought in two rows, and Lancaster came from the side.

He walked straight up to William and bowed before he said, "Your Excellency, dinner is ready. Shall we start eating now?"

William waited for the medical staff to clean up before nodding and smiling, "I can't wait." ”

After saying that, he followed Lancaster to the makeshift table, and an attendant waited early to see him come and quickly pulled out a chair, and when William sat down, the attendant took a white napkin around his neck.

A series of delicate dishes were placed on the table, and Lancaster waited until his entourage had left before he reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, you know." I don't have any drinks, so I can't bring out the wine. Luckily, I still have some good game here, all freshly caught and delicious. Even better, I also have a small packet of Royal Copenhagen Coffee waiting for us to enjoy it, and you will surely be attracted by the rich aroma. ”

William put his hand in the basin of water that the waiter was carrying, washed it, and arranged the napkin. Hearing Lancaster say this, he smiled and responded, "It's nice to have a good dinner in such an environment, it's already beyond my expectations." ”

Lancaster nodded in satisfaction, took off the mask from his face, handed it to the attendant next to him, and motioned for William to begin his dinner.

The two of them ate quietly, and the table was a little dim in the light of the candles. The soldiers on either side, with torches in their hands, stood motionless on either side to light up their dinner. From time to time, the waiter behind him handed over some tools and removed the plate from time to time. The whole venue seems to be very busy, but it seems to be orderly.

Lancaster used a knife and fork to put the last piece of the half-rare steak in front of him into his mouth, chewing vigorously and swallowing it slowly. He took a sip of the water handed by the waiter and smoothed it out before saying, "I really didn't expect that I would be able to meet Count Frederick, who is known as the ** god of the Emperor Krent, in my lifetime. I felt like I was dreaming, and you might not be able to understand how I was feeling right now, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that I had the opportunity to meet a living legend. It's my pleasure to have dinner with you. ”

William swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a napkin, he coughed twice, then leaned back in his chair and looked at Lancaster on the opposite side and said lazily: "Similarly, I didn't expect to meet the Lancaster family, who are known as the first ministers of the Holy Empire, in such a damn place." ”

Lancaster smiled nonchalantically and said, "It's all a name." Nothing is worth mentioning in the face of your achievements. I think it is a man's glory to help the Crent Empire pacify Gaul and recover Cairo, capture Iberia and the Apennine Peninsula to expand the territory of the empire. ”

William sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "All this is in the past, let's not mention it again." May I ask how you ended up here?"

Lancaster took a cup of coffee and blew on the hot air on it, his eyes rolling in contemplation.

William took advantage of this time to take a closer look at him, and saw that Lancaster had a square face that was not too big. The royal blue eyes reveal a sly and resolute look, and the high bridge of the nose occupies the center of the face, which is impressive. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and a strange smile was pulled out one by one. His face was pale and he looked like he was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and his whole person revealed an indescribable aura. A long golden hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and William subconsciously squinted his eyes, as if flashed to his eyes by the tuft of golden hair.

Lancaster took a sip of coffee and sighed contentedly after a long aftertaste before saying, "I think you also know that the Holy Empire has not been very stable lately. As for me, I led the guards to rush over and be responsible for maintaining law and order. ”

William couldn't hold back his laughter, he pointed to the corpses around him and asked with some certainty, "That's how you maintain it?"

Lancaster's neck tilted, and he looked at William very strangely, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? What's wrong, they carry so many goods but they don't have the corresponding strength to protect them, I am kind enough to help them take care of the goods, so that they don't have to go on so fearfully." I guess that's a great thing. ”

William looked at the other party stupidly, smacked his lips, and didn't say a word.

Lancaster smiled and looked nonchalant, waiting slowly for William to drink the freshly ground coffee before speaking, "Then Your Excellency, I think it's time to settle the problem between the two of us." ”

William put the coffee on the table, he got up from the chair and looked at the other party word by word, and said, "Well, it's time." ”
