Chapter 137: Sea Clan Feast
Three days later, the news came.
The Sea Dragon King wants to hold a banquet in his mansion, and all some of the highly respected courtiers of the Sea Clan are invited to attend, of course, Prime Minister Gui, as a high-ranking official of the Sea Clan second only to the Sea Dragon King, naturally wants to go. However, what is even more incredible is that the Sea Dragon King actually informed everyone first, and this time the banquet Tianxing and Xiao Yue will also arrive.
Since the last time the Sea Dragon King had asked for the opinions of the ministers in the court, there was no news about Tianxing and Xiao Yue, and the two of them were naturally surprised when they received the notice. Could it be that the Sea Dragon King has already decided to ......
Nominally, this is a celebratory banquet to reward all the important ministers who are worried about the Sea Clan, but the others more or less know some information, and the Sea Dragon King invited those two humans this time, I'm afraid this is not a simple banquet.
These courtiers of the Sea Clan were just talking in private, in front of the Dragon King and Prime Minister Turtle, but no one dared to say that. As usual, they dressed up in grand and luxurious clothes and went to the great hall of the Sea Dragon King to attend the banquet. Tianxing and Xiao Yue simply cleaned up and followed. Along the way, there are shrimp guards who will guide the way, and it will be very smooth.
Tianxing was wearing a relatively ordinary dark blue dress today, although it was not so gorgeous, but it also looked very formal, and at first glance it looked quite solemn. After all, it is a formal attire, and Tianxing has not learned etiquette and clothing in the Sword Pavilion, so he still has this knowledge. And Xiao Yue is also not so graceful and luxurious today, she is wearing a long dress, white as plain snow, and suddenly compares most of the women of the Sea Clan in the hall, such a posture, it seems that only one or two people on the head of the hall can match it.
As soon as the two of them walked into the main hall, naturally all eyes were focused on them, and the voices of discussion rang out, and everyone whispered below. Tianxing and Xiao Yue have both received specific training on this occasion, so naturally they will not be rude. Following the guidance of the attendants, they came to their place and sat down, showing a dignified and polite appearance.
On this kind of occasion, they must not lose etiquette and make a fool of themselves, although they know that the rules on the mainland may not be the same as those of the Sea Clan, but the respectful etiquette can always be seen at a glance. Seeing the two of them sitting there neither humbly nor arrogantly, the Haichens, who had been a little hesitant before, also quieted down.
"Well, today is a feast of rewards, and there is nothing to talk about, so you don't have to be suspicious. Let me take the lead in this one. "The Sea Dragon King revealed that he was not at all domineering as a majestic king should have, and he was very easy-going, as if these courtiers in front of him were all brothers. He raised the long bluestone cup in his hand and drank it down.
The Sea Clan also has its own wine, and of course, Tianxing has really never tasted it. In front of him, the Sea Dragon King got up and took the lead, and dozens of sea ministers naturally stood up one after another and drank the wine in their cups. Tianxing didn't know what it tasted like, so he took a sip first. Only then did I find that the taste of the sea tribe's wine was actually slightly sour, and it faintly revealed a faint fishy smell from the ocean, which was different from the spicy and astringent liquor of human beings. Of course, Tianxing thought about it and knew that there were no raw materials for human brewing in the sea tribe, and what would naturally be brewed would be different.
Tianxing smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know what this thing was called, and it was defined as "wine" according to the human way of thinking. He drank all the wine in the cup, turned his head to look at Xiao Yue, and saw that although she frowned slightly, she still endured the drink, and there could be no negligence in this situation.
The Sea Dragon King sat down first, and the rest of the sea ministers took their seats one after another, and they also began to enter the main seat, chatting while tasting the dishes, and for a while, the hall was full of rough chats. Tianxing and Xiao Yue are of different races, although no one has any hostility towards them for the sake of the Sea Dragon King's face, but obviously no one came to deal with the two, so they naturally have no objections, and they taste the rare Sea Clan dishes by themselves.
Most of these delicacies are made from ingredients derived from the sea, and they taste unique. The fish they eat on weekdays are very different from those of this sea tribe. The tastes of the Sea Tribesmen are different from those of humans on land, but the food is indeed good, so Tianxing and Xiao Yue can barely get used to it.
No one came to their side, and the two of them had expected it, after all, they were just outsiders, and no one had a reason to come and socialize with them. The courtiers of the Sea Clan still have a great rejection of aliens. Of course, Tianxing and Xiao Yue chatted about the sky while tasting delicious food, but they didn't have any other opinions.
Neither of them served on one side, but there would also be servants who patrolled by to pour them wine, and if there were no fish slaves nearby, they would do it themselves, and there would be no shame in doing it anyway. Although this banquet didn't have any great significance to them, after all, it was ordered by the Sea Dragon King himself, so they couldn't help but come. It's good to rub the rice.
"A toast to you, two. Just as the two of them were not in a hurry, someone's voice sounded behind them.
The blue scales have been attached to Tianxing's body, and when they heard this, they immediately translated it to Tianxing. And Xiao Yue has already had a lot of contact with the people of the Sea Clan, and there are some languages that are not complicated, and she can be regarded as able to understand them. The two of them raised their dark blue tall glasses and turned around, realizing that it was the catfish.
Xiao Yue smiled, I'm afraid that the entire Sea Clan, they only know the three of Catfish, Sea Dragon King and Turtle Prime Minister. Tianxing still didn't know, but Xiao Yue was more familiar with him, the three of them clinked glasses, chatted briefly, and the catfish resigned and returned to the table. Xiao Yue sighed, poured herself another half glass of wine, and tasted it slowly.
Tianxing also poured himself another glass, but he didn't sip it slowly like Xiao Yue, and drank it directly, before he smiled and said, "I really can't imagine that you actually drink too." ”
"Where is this considered wine, it should be the drink of the Sea Clan. Besides, seeing that the Sea Clan, whether it is a man or a woman who comes to the banquet, drink this thing, am I embarrassed to refuse?" Xiao Yue only glanced at Tianxing before replying nonchalantly.
Tianxing took a deep breath, he felt that the wine of the Sea Clan, if he drank too much, he would be able to taste something, so he ordered the itinerant servants who passed by to pour the wine, and then continued to ask Xiao Yue: "Who was the one who came to toast the two of us just now?"
"It's a catfish discussion. A high-ranking official in the Sea Clan, I used to have a little relationship with him, but you were still in a coma at the time. Counting the entire Sea Clan, we only know him as a courtier. Xiao Yue replied self-deprecatingly.
Tianxing didn't say anything, this sea tribe's things didn't seem to be intoxicating, so he drank cup after cup, naturally feeling extremely comfortable. Xiao Yue tasted some of the delicacies of the Sea Clan, and then stopped eating.
"What's wrong?" Skystar put down his glass.
Xiao Yue smiled: "It's nothing, I've already eaten it." ”
"I've never seen you so ladylike. Tianxing said disdainfully, "At that time, at night in the Quicksand Ancient Tomb, we made a fire to cook, you are not this kind of eater." ”
"This time and that time. Xiao Yue just prevaricated, and then looked at the seaministers who were talking to each other hotly. He turned his head to look at the Sea Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister. I saw that the two of them didn't know what they were talking about. The sound is so small that others can't hear it at all.
Xiao Yue looked at Tianxing, who was still drinking, leaned into his ear and said slowly, "I feel that something should happen tonight." The hunch has always been accurate. ”
Tianxing put down the blue wine cup, pretended to be drunk, and replied, "Don't you taste a little more of this wine?" It's not intoxicating anyway. ”
Xiao Yue said angrily: "I'll tell you something serious." As she spoke, she stomped on the star under the table.
"Ahh He put down the tools for the Sea Clan to eat in his hand, and then said sullenly, "What can I do? Let's go to the banquet early and go back." ”
Xiao Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I just observed the etiquette of the banquet in the Sea Clan Palace, and it seems that the people who were toasted before have to return the salute to each other. Although we are outliers, we probably don't need to abide by this kind of regulation, but in order to win more people's approval, do we still have to pay tribute to the catfish? He is not a bad person, but he is just a little straighter. ”
"It's okay, it seems that we know more about etiquette. Tianxing also understood that this kind of thing could not be joked, and stood up himself, "Let's go, let's go together." ”
Xiao Yue poured half of the drink into her wine glass, and then followed Tianxing in the direction of the catfish table. They didn't notice that the Sea Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister were looking at all this in the first place, and they all frowned.
"Catfish, please. Xiao Yue took the lead in coming to the catfish, and tried her best to return the salute according to the way the catfish had just toasted them, the etiquette of humans on land is different from that of the sea tribe after all, it is better to follow the customs.
Catfish obviously didn't expect Xiao Yue to come back to salute him, so he quickly stood up, picked up his cup, didn't say anything, drank all the wine in his cup, and shook his strong body, which was a little funny. And Xiao Yue also smiled slightly and drank all the wine in the cup.
Who knows, Tianxing just followed Xiao Yue to drink the wine in his cup, and now it is his turn to salute the catfish, but there is no wine. Just as he was about to turn around and look around to see if there was still a wine jug, the Haichen sitting next to the catfish handed over his jug. Tianxing hurriedly caught it, and then thanked him.
"Just use my pot. "Blue Scales translates to Celestial Stars.
Tianxing nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude, and then poured himself a glass of wine, and at the same time filled the wine cup for the catfish on the opposite side.
