Chapter 33: The Feast (3)
More than ten minutes passed. Four servants came in carrying a large wooden basin filled with water, and they placed it on a table next to the table, which was usually used for knives and forks. Toby stood up reservedly, bowed down to Adela and gave a gentlemanly salute, then said triumphantly, "It's time for dessert at the banquet, please allow me to prepare a small dessert for everyone." ”
Adela looked at Toby expectantly, which made Toby even more ambitious, only feeling that there was nothing in the world that he could not do, he walked quickly to the side of the large wooden basin, calmed down for a while, and slowly recited the magic spell.
Ryan is still sitting in his seat, of course he knows the magic spell that Toby recited, this is an ice magic, but the target of the cast is the big wooden basin, if you let Ryan comment, Toby's magic is simply miserable, in order to pursue the temperament when casting the spell, the chanting speed is deliberately slowed down a lot, and the magic spell is also recited two verses wrong, which will weaken the final result, and as a high-level magician, even this kind of second-level magic can't be instantaneous, Ryan really doubts that Toby's identity as a high-level magician is not spent money to get it back。
Finally, Toby completed the spell, and the large wooden basin filled with clear water also changed, and the clear water slowly solidified into a whole large piece of ice. Seeing this scene, Adela clapped her palms excitedly, sincere admiration appeared in her eyes, and Vera also shouted: "Okay, it's amazing!"
Ryan looked Toby up and down, and felt that this magician had barely reached the level of high-level magic, but he had a few magic items on him that were not bad, and if his combat power was assessed, it would be no problem to defeat an ordinary intermediate magician, but against those experienced high-level magicians, Toby might not even have a chance to make a move.
Vivien's face was full of disdain, she had seen Ryan cast spells, and now looking at Toby's almost acting technique, she didn't look down on her heart at all, she put her lips to Ryan's ear again, and whispered, "Hey, he's not as good as you now." ”
Although Adela pretended to adore Toby, her attention was always on Ryan's side, and after seeing Vivian and Ryan's ambiguous movements, she immediately blurted out: "Vivian, I have never seen such a powerful magician, have you seen such a powerful magician after wandering outside for so long?"
Adra's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present to Vivian, and Vivian and Ryan's movements at this time were as ambiguous as they were, especially from Toby's point of view, Vivian's mouth was already on Ryan's mouth.
The smile on Toby's face froze in an instant, and he had a blue face, and whispered: "Damn, you deserve to be the offspring of **, you have to seduce men wherever you go!" Fortunately, at this time, Vivien lowered her head because of shyness, and her mind was not on Toby's side, otherwise she would definitely be furious when she heard this.
"Lord Toby, Lord Toby?" Adela said as Toby regained his senses, and he turned his gaze to Adra, where he heard Adela saying to him, "I can't wait to taste the cold wine." ”
Toby immediately changed his smile and said to Adra, "No problem, please wait. With that, Toby reached out and snapped his fingers to keep his servants busy. Ice chisels and ice shavers were turned out, and soon thumb-sized blocks of ice filled a large basin, and the servant grabbed the ice with crampons and threw them into the container of wine, and a hint of coolness immediately emanated from the wine.
"Come, let's taste it first. As the master, Toby began to greet the two siblings, Vera and Adra, who had now completely regarded Vivien and Ryan as passers-by, and Vivien was happy to do the same, quietly doing it by Ryan's side, slowly tasting his share of food.
Soon, the ice cubes in the wine had melted completely, and the servant replaced a crystal cup for everyone at the long table, filling them with the chilled wine, and Toby picked it up, and once again proposed, "Cheers to Miss Adra's erudition!" and drank the whole glass down.
The chilled wine was really more refreshing, and Toby suddenly found that the slight acidity in the wine had disappeared without a trace, and at this time Toby vaguely felt that Ryan's words just now seemed to have another meaning, but as soon as Toby saw Ryan sitting with Vivian, his heart was extremely angry, and he left Ryan's words just now behind.
The banquet was going on enthusiastically, Toby basically just socialized with Vera and Adela, while the Vera siblings had a clear division of labor, the elder brother Vera tried his best to flatter Toby, and Adela had to say a few words to Vivien from time to time, so that the scene would not be very embarrassing. Finally, the main course of tonight's banquet was slowly pushed up by the servants in a dining cart, and a roasted Tarun cow with a shiny surface lay quietly on it.
Everyone's eyes were on this main dish at once, Adela watched the servant break the Talon cow outside with a knife, and slowly took out the Talon sheep inside, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know how many layers this is?"
Toby pretended to be suspenseful and said, "Miss Adela might as well guess." ”
"I guess, it's the fifth floor, right?" Adela thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Haha, Miss Adela is really smart. Toby smiled and said, "It's the 5th floor." ”
By this time, the servants had taken out the edelweiss rabbit, and placed it on a plate made of sterling silver, and respectfully brought it to Toby, who was placed in front of him with a small and delicate plate and a pair of knives and forks.
Obviously, the climax of the feast is coming, and Toby, as the host, will take out the roasted egg hidden in the edelweiss with his own hands, and then offer it to the most distinguished guest of the evening, and this guest can obviously only be Miss Adra.
Toby slowly slashed the edelweiss rabbit with a dinner knife, gently took out the roasted eagle egg inside, and put it on the small and delicate dinner plate, and then he picked up the dinner plate and slowly walked towards Adela, who blushed half of his face, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes.
Toby walked up to Adela and began to recite the most popular seventeen-line poem among the nobles in a very eloquent aria:
"Honorable and beautiful Miss Adra.
You are the sun in the sky, and your beauty is like the warm sun that stings my eyes......"
This seventeen-line aristocratic poem is one of the means for nobles to express their noble status on important occasions, and its rhyme is so several, but the words and sentences in it are all compiled by the reciter on the spot, which is the most important way to show the strength of the reciter, and Toby actually used such a means in order to help the fun, and Adela was full of excitement when he listened, and it seemed that the whole person was about to melt into Toby's enthusiasm.
