Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 103 The Banquet
Darkness once again shrouded the land, and the starry sky was once again presented in front of people's eyes, and everything was so peaceful and quiet at this moment.
After that encounter in the afternoon, there was no friction between the two sides. At this time in the city, Gale and Nikolai took advantage of the truce to invite the leaders of the Abyss to a celebration feast.
Rather than a crowded and filthy barbarian bazaar as most of the Empire's people imagined, the new city was more uniform, somewhat resembling the Empire's capital, St. Caron.
After all, the city was copied from all the forces that had fallen into it, and the overall appearance of the city was not inferior to that of any city in the empire except the capital. It's just that the snow tribe is still too small, and the size of the city is far less than that of St. Caron.
The existence of the Abyss army had been exposed during the previous raid, so Toren the Minotaur and Bobby the Goblin did not shirk and led their men to the city.
Therefore, in order to welcome the two and celebrate this hard-won victory, Gale simply held this grand banquet.
Torun and Poppy were led by the servants to a splendid courtyard with tall and gorgeous houses and lush pine trees.
After entering the courtyard, the two found that the surrounding walls were painted with various totems and characters passed down from the snowfield tribes, and in order to light the way, the servants also raised many bonfires near the walls, and the flames lit up a large area of the sky above the courtyard.
The strong contrast between inside and outside the city made Bobby sigh: "Oh, the nobles of this world are really rich, we must get more money here this time, so that we won't suffer!"
Unexpectedly, Toren, who usually has a completely different opinion from Poppy, also nodded and agreed with his suggestion.
As they talked, they walked through the neat brick and stone path to the building where the banquet was held. As soon as they entered the palatial hall, they were greeted by the two of them, but fortunately the people attending the banquet in the hall were not wearing imperial dresses, otherwise they would have misunderstood that they were attending a banquet in the empire!
The people standing in the hall were dressed in the traditional costumes of the Empire, and some were sitting at tables full of delicious food, and only then did a hint of tribal brutality be revealed. As soon as they entered the hall, they smelled a charming scent, which was compelling and unforgettable.
Poppy curiously turns around to inquire about the source of the scent, only to find that the servant leading the way does not know when he has left.
Just as they were at a loss, Gail came from afar and greeted them both with a smile, "I am honored that you have accepted my invitation to come to the celebration banquet. ”
Torun looked around at the lavish decoration of the hall and said, "You told me that the people of the tribe hate the rule of the Empire, so why do you want to build a room in this style after the system of the Empire?
Gail explained, "Lord Toruń, it is true that our tribesmen hate the rule of the Empire, but I also have to admit that there are many aspects of the Empire that the tribe should learn from. I would even love to let my people live in such a sturdy building, so that they would not suffer from the wind and the sun.
However, my father, the old king of the tribe, did not approve of my more common customs, so I had to build this empire-style building to fulfill my wishes. ”
Poppy and Toruń looked at each other, knowing in their hearts Gael's final thoughts, he wanted to overthrow the Empire's rule on the continent and then establish a new empire dominated by the Snow Tribe, such an idea was not in the interests of the Abyss!
However, it was only Gale's words for now, and it was still necessary to judge which step to achieve in the end would be after the victory of the war, so the two changed the subject and talked about the building, which seemed to be very fond of its layout.
"My lords, the banquet is not just about chatting, why don't you come and taste the exotic flavors of the Snow Tribe?" said Nikolai, holding a glass of the Snow Tribe's homemade spirits, and walked over to them with a slight blush.
Gail also reacted, and hurriedly greeted them, "Nikolai's words remind me, come and taste our tribe's secret roast lamb chops! This is the most delicious lamb chop in the whole continent, and I can assure you that you will not find this delicacy anywhere else on the continent." ”
Poppy prides himself on being a gourmand in the abyss, isn't this guy joking? He hasn't eaten anything in the abyss, even if it's grilled lamb chops, he's eaten a lot, is it really as delicious as he says?
Skeptical, Poppy walked straight to the table where the lamb chops were placed. I saw that the lamb chops were oily and slippery, and they were dripping with a secret black sauce, and the meat was golden brown as a whole, and before I got closer, Bobby smelled the familiar fragrance, wasn't this the smell of meat that I asked when I came in just now? How is this possible! It can still maintain its original fragrance at such a distance!
The smell of such an intoxicating fragrance made the corners of Bobby's mouth involuntarily drool, and he eagerly tore off a piece of lamb chops and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. When his taste buds touched the lamb chops, he froze in shock.
What a delicious lamb chop it is! The taste lingered in his mouth for a long time, and it seemed to make him return to his hometown, a place full of pastures, this is the taste of hometown.
