Chapter 378: Decision (II)

It is a pity that the guests have fish, according to the custom, the young lady will be pawned Liao. Arranging to sit between the nobles, with men and women sitting together, can make both parties enjoy it more.

But now everyone has no wives and no daughters, so they are all simple.

At the time of the meal, the people present. Be as polite as possible to avoid making jokes.

A sumptuous banquet with 5 dishes.

The recipe was determined by the chef obtained by Romon and was roughly as follows:

Roasted venison: Grease the venison. Then it is cooked in a charcoal fire chair and has a burnt yellow color. After serving, the guests are served with salt, beard and other seasonings. Hu Ji powder is used in every dish. Sometimes cloves are also added as a seasoning. Cream as a seasoning. Just for frying food. Hu Bao is used the most, it helps to appetize and stimulate guests to drink more.

Wild boar meat pureed for half a day, poured with tomato juice.

Roast bear meat is the best dish of the day, and it was specially brought by Romon that everyone present enjoyed this dish very much.

Grill a variety of birds, including cranes, cangfu, mallards and steers, and serve them with cloves and garlic.

Due to its proximity to the coast, fish are particularly abundant. There are draftfish, carp freshwater fish, river scarlet, Sishun freshwater fish, salmon and fresh fish, etc.

The final course consists of a variety of sweets and desserts, including fruit tarts, custard biscuits, and more. Fruits include figs, apples, raisins, etc., and sometimes some milk cool.

Finally, a strong liquor soaked in ginger and pepper comes up. This type of wine is called Lettu Spicy, and one of the types is blended with wine with honey to sweeten it and is soaked for a long time with aroma, raisins, ginger and cloves.

This type of wine is an after-dinner wine that can make the nerves more excited.

Except for the lack of music from the band. All the guests were quite satisfied with the delicious food, which should not be overly demanding, after all, it takes time for the band to develop, but even so, the atmosphere is still lively and boisterous.

The guests exchanged seats from table to table, talking about love, hounds, falcons, jousting, navy, and other topics, and throughout the feast, almost all the guests loved to drink, and they poured their goblets to the brim, and they drank them in one gulp.

In the course of the banquet, of course. Everyone was very polite, and everyone was careful about small etiquette, for fear of causing the laughter of those around them.

Fafer and Nick were no exception, and now they both felt like nobles.

When it came time to eat dessert, it was almost over. Romon asked, "Mr. Baseron, servant of the great god of order, and Mademoiselle Buzasah, servant of the great goddess of commerce, are you satisfied with coming to our town?"

The two of them, both of whom had eaten very comfortably, replied almost in unison: "Your generosity and justice, noble lord, have greatly satisfied us, and will also reach the ears of God." ”

Romon smiled and asked, "We're going to go to war with pirates recently, would you like to send a few servants of the gods to help our wounded sailors?"

Both of them hesitated.

Unlike the Scourge, there is no God's favor to participate in this kind of battle.

Moreover, fierce pirates often do not think about God's servants and lay down their butcher knives.

After thinking about it, Miss Busadi said wisely, "Your Excellency, the Church of God does not intervene in this kind of battle, but we can sell you healing potions at a cheap price. ”

Luo Meng was also originally tempted, but when he heard it, he smiled and nodded. He lowered his glass to indicate that the banquet was over.

They all left.

The next morning, when Romon got up, Nick came with a notebook.

"Well, now I'm going to see how the Navy is doing, do you have anything else to do now?" Romon finished his breakfast and looked at Nick.

"Is there anything more important than this at a time like this?" Nick asked rhetorically.

"You guy. Romon smiled, stood up, walked up to Nick, and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go. ”

"Good. Nick also stood up early at this time, and followed Romon behind, and the two of them walked outside. The net pushed open the door, and almost collided with a person: "Scholar Lulun, you haven't left yet?"

"My lord, I suggest that we go and inspect the navy in the harbor now, lest this action of the pirates cause any bad influence in the navy. As soon as he saw Romon and said, "After seeing the navy, I will go to the city to negotiate with the nobles, so I can have more confidence."

Romon and Nick had a game, and they were both happy.

"We're deciding to go. Let's just go along. ”

When the Lulun scholars heard this, they naturally agreed.

The three of them went out and got into the carriage respectively, at this time Nick and Lu Lun were already real nobles, although the level was not high, but they were also people with actual fiefdoms, and their carriages were very gorgeous and spacious.

However, according to the convention, when building the carriage, they all deliberately compared with Romon 's private carriage, and deliberately reduced the size and magnificence of the carriage a lot.

Although Luo Meng didn't say anything after he knew, he nodded secretly: "Go to the port." ”

After getting into the car, he only said this to the coachman, and Romon closed his eyes and recuperated.

Since the last time he sensed that special natural force on the ocean, he has been constantly cultivating and experiencing it in the past few days, and he has a certain understanding and grasp of this kind of energy that belongs to the natural power of the sea.

As soon as he has time and free time, he is only immersed in the experience of wave energy, and every time he has more experience, the level of Zhenrui will improve a little bit.

The more you improve, the more you will naturally increase in level and strength.

Romon's carriage was in front, Nick and Lun Scholar's carriage was close behind, and the three carriages traveled one in front of the other for a while, and the carriage of Romon in front slowed down, apparently to the docks.

Without waiting for the coachman to ask, Romon's voice sounded directly in the carriage: "Don't stop at the dock, keep walking." Go to our own naval base. ”

"Yes, sir. The coachman listened to the command, raised his whip, and the carriage continued to gnaw on.

The other two carriages did not travel side by side with Rommon's car, but kept a moderate distance and continued to trail forward.

The smell of the ocean has become stronger and stronger, and even the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks can be heard clearly. After a moment, the carriage stopped: "My lord, the place has arrived." ”

"Arrived?" the curtain was lifted, and the coachman hurriedly helped the small stool under the car, and Romon stepped on the sleeve and grew old.

"My lord, let's go over. "Scholar Lulun and Nick also walked over at this time.

Three people walked on foot. All the way to the place where the Navy was stationed.

This is Romond's own expanded naval base, which appears to be huge. The naval warships parked in the harbor were also lined up far away. You can feel the momentum at a glance.

The base at this time

I learned that Romon and others were coming. In fact, Shakat and others, who were in charge of the navy, hurried to greet them.

Romon only said to check the situation of the navy, and then under the leadership of Shakat, he made an inspection, although he was already familiar with it before, but this time it was a really comprehensive assessment.

Nick and Lu Lun accompany them all the way. Halfway through, the Lulun scholar broke away from the team under the pretext that something was wrong.

He saw that there was no one on his left and right, and then he swayed to the place where the soldiers were stationed.

As I walked, I looked at the base.

At this moment, a sudden discussion came into his ears.

In this discussion, Luo Meng's name was occasionally mentioned a few times, which made the curious scholar Lu Lun can't help but walk over. But in a shady place, I saw several soldiers wearing navy uniforms. The pirate's actions are being discussed.

Scholar Lulun happened to be next to a few trees, and he hurriedly walked behind a big tree, covered his body, and listened carefully to what they were saying.

I heard one of the soldiers say: "What do you know? Although the adults have indeed created a lot of myths, the sea is the ocean, and on the sea, if you are not careful, there will be some uncontrollable situations, do you think that it is a very easy thing for the navy to fight?"

"You can't say that. Who is the Lord?He's a famous genius, how do you know that Lord Romon can't create a myth at sea?And, in the last battle, the Lord showed his skills. The other soldier was obviously extremely confident in Romon's ability, and when he saw someone refuting his opinion, he immediately became anxious.

The man from before said, "That's just the power of the lord as a druid, it has nothing to do with the command, and besides, the instructors from the royal navy don't trust the lord, they are experts!" the soldier continued to retort. And these words obviously made the previous soldier who supported Romon speechless.

Hearing this, the Lulun scholar had already roughly understood what he wanted to know, and hurriedly left here, found Luo Meng and them, and quickly returned to the team.

And back in town, before they could catch their breath, seven or eight letters were handed into Rommon's hands.

When Romon saw it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The content of the letter is much the same. It was all about questioning why he didn't send troops as soon as possible, and the people who wrote the letter were except those nobles who had suffered indirect or direct losses in this incident. There were also those nobles who felt threatened without losses, and they were already dissatisfied with the position of commander of the navy. At this time, seeing that the navy was staying in the harbor again, they wrote letters to confront them

At this time, the scholar Lulun told Luo Meng some of the information he had detected in the navy: "My lord, this matter is very tricky, and it is not necessary to send troops, nor is it to send troops. Fatty meat really doesn't taste good. ”

Lu Lun looked worried: "Also, these naval instructors are not of the same mind as you, you have to deal with it." ”

But. His emotions did not infect Luo Meng, on the contrary, in the face of this crisis, Luo Meng's heart ignited a fighting spirit.

"In that case, then I will send troops, don't they want to see my jokes? I prefer to show them that even in such a situation against me, I can still exterminate the pirates, and only merit can counteract all suspicions. Romon lowered his voice. but his eyes were bright. It was a kind of light that belonged to the self-confident people: "You don't have to care, go to the city first, and ask for my military expenses back, as soon as I want to come back." We're going to send troops!"

The small actions of the naval instructors, he is not unaware, this is a helpless thing, since he wants to learn from the regular officers of the navy, he will naturally be infiltrated and influenced.

But as he said. Only victory is everything.

Faced with this, Lu Lun had to bow: "Yes, my lord!"
