News of the banquet spread quickly, and only the nobles and some important people were allowed to attend, but all those who had come from the surrounding towns to try to meet His Highness were very excited. Some knights of the fiefdom, such as Sir Bill, also showed their identification when they heard the news that the prince was soon to go west. If you can join His Highness's team as a guide, you may have a good turnaround.

So on the day of the banquet, basically the people with heads and faces near Creekwood Town, as well as those who thought they could meet the standards, gathered at Elvis Manor, making it lively. As a retinue, Siegel was not allowed to enter the banquet hall in the center, and could only move around the corner of the manor, but this was exactly what he wanted. In order to gain the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince, and because of the recent treaty, the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a large amount of food - even the chamberlain area is full of delicacies.

The squid squid squeezed through the crowd deftly with a plate and approached its target. A table more than five meters long was filled with dishes, warm roasted meats and freshly baked bread smelled uncontrollably, and a huge roasted boar was staring at Siegel viciously, provoking the young man's appetite.

'It doesn't get any better than this!' The squid picked up a large string of ham with a dining knife and slammed it on the plate, then stacked a few pig's trotters and two spoonfuls of onion sauce on top of it. He carried the food, and with strength and agility, he returned safely to the corner. Here he found an empty table with a clay pot on it. Siegel picked up the clay pot and sniffed it, and sure enough, it contained a fragrant sweet wine. "Perfect!" he exclaimed, holding the pig's trotters in both hands.

The hall was even more steaming, and the appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince pushed the atmosphere to a climax. They shouted their best wishes for the king's health and the prince's valor, and like knights shouting battle cries, they desperately charged to His Highness's side.

The Guardians of Dawn were familiar with such a scene, and they prayed for holy power, allowing a soft glow to emanate from their bodies, quickly calming the agitation around them and separating them from safety. Everyone involuntarily made way for the prince, quieted down, and listened to His Highness's words.

"Let the feast begin!" said the prince, taking Lady Elvis' hand, in a loud voice.

In an instant, the music and cheers were back in the air, and there was a mixture of laughter and laughter. However, Siegel could not hear the prince's words, and he had already started his own banquet outside the house. Siegel munched on and quickly filled his hungry stomach.

After a while, the table was filled with another person, who sat across from Siegel with a plate of assorted seafood. The squid looked up, and it was all shrimp, crabs, and shellfish that were common in the sea on this side of the New World, and he was tired of eating them.

"Hey, friend, do you know how to eat this thing?" the man asked, holding up a giant rock crab, curiously.

Siegel couldn't speak with ham stuffed in his mouth, but he put down the trotters in his hand, snatched the rock crab, and quickly found the seam of the carapace with his fingers. Then the dexterity of his fingers was faster and faster than using a special crab-eating tool, and the giant rock crab had already disarmed and surrendered in a few breaths, revealing the white, tender and delicious flesh.

"Thank you!" the man was polite.

"Eight snow (no thanks). Siegel had only one last piece of meat left on his plate, so he stood up and looked around, finding no container larger than the one in his hand. So after he poured two sips of sweet wine, he had no choice but to continue using the oily plate and kill the long table again.

After a while, the plate was filled with all kinds of meat, and Siegel killed it. He noticed that the man at the table with him had eliminated the rock crab and was staring at a multi-clawed lobster.

'Help people to the end.' Siegel thought. He set his plate aside and put his hand into the man's plate. Under the surprised gaze of the diners, it seems that in an instant, all the seafood is dismembered, just waiting to be picked up and eaten.

"You're coming to the New World for the first time, aren't you?" Siegel asked, clapping his hands, "These things can only be eaten here, and you must be the first time you've been here." ”

"That's right, thank you. The man held out his hand and said in a friendly manner, "Introduce yourself, I'm Evan, Evan Jinkui." ”

"Siegel squid. The two hands shook vigorously. They both found each other's fingers and wrists to be strong and powerful, but at the same time they did not lack the dexterity of a young man.

Evan is a head taller than Siegel, and his shoulders and chest are much wider. He has long flowing blond shawl hair, a pair of shiny pale golden eyes, and a resolute and straight nose bridge that looks very handsome. This man has a short stubble, and he thinks he is older than the squid. He was wearing a gray shirt and trousers, a gold belt around his waist, and black boots under his feet, looking neat and energetic. Evan spoke with a strong accent, mixed with some dialects near the East Lake Territory of the Starry Kingdom, but this did not affect the communication between the two of them. They discuss the food and brag like ordinary young people.

"Forgive me for being alone, what's the squid's last name?" Evan asked.

"I was born on a ship, in a tank with squid, hence the name. Siegel explained, then asked, "What does your last name mean?"

"Oh, my father made me in the sunflower field, and gave me this surname. Evan replied casually, "It's just a title anyway, and I don't want to inherit anything." ”

"Ah, I see, you're an illegitimate child. "But it's not bad, at least you know who your parents are." Come and try this roast pig's trotters, it's really good!"

Evan was stunned for a moment, for the first time he had seen a guy who was completely insensitive to his origins. In the Star Country, there has always been a very strict hierarchy system, and the bloodline and origin largely determine the height that this person can reach in his lifetime. The commoners were very attentive to this method, carefully maintaining it, patiently looking for every opportunity to advance to the ranks. On the contrary, the aristocracy was debauched, and often created illegitimate children to keep them out of the system. Compared with commoners, even the illegitimate children of nobles without surnames can receive better education and resources, and their horizons are broader. But because they have no inheritance rights at all, and they rarely receive the warmth of family - especially the love of motherhood, so they also suffer from another taste. And their surnames will also be passed down to their descendants.

And the higher the aristocracy, the more likely they felt that illegitimate children were a disservice to the family's reputation—and it was ridiculous that no adult would have the idea of creating an illegitimate child.

"Siegel, do you like meat?" asked Evan.

"That's right, I've never eaten so much!"

"Then you wait for me, I know there's a place for good food. ”

With that, Evan stood up and slipped into the hall. Siegel wanted to stop him, the hall was not a place for anyone to enter, there were servants from Elvis Manor, and they would recruit the Merchant Alliance Guards and throw out all the lowly people. Siegel had followed Sir Bill into the hall, but the sharp-eyed servants stopped him at the door, and the plan failed.

After worrying for a while, Evan ran back, much to Siegel's relief. I don't know how this guy did it, Evan actually took a pot directly from the hall and hurriedly ran out.

Siegel was very nervous, for fear of being discovered by the servants. He bent down to watch, his black eyes locked on every threat that might have provoked the guards to throw them out. Fortunately, at this time, a loud shout came from the hall: "Your Highness, let's do another song", which attracted everyone's attention.

"Come on! It's a honey stew, and I know the owner here will prepare it. Evan said proudly.

All the bees in the Star Country are the property of the lords, which makes sweets made from honey a pure luxury that only the nobles can enjoy. Ordinary people can only steal a little honey from the bee trainer if they are willing to spend a lot of money. The Church of Dawn is an organization that has the right to breed bees outside of the aristocratic circles, and they sometimes distribute sweet biscuits mixed with honey to the public on Praise Day. The lucky Soth once smuggled a jar of honey, and Siegel stole a finger at the captain's beckoning. This incident was discovered by the first mate, and in order to maintain the rules on the ship, the squid was beaten well.

Now that there was a whole pot of honey stew in front of Siegel, he was directly stunned. Evan loved to look at his new friend in shock, and smiled happily. Siegel looked around, pushed away the stool, and sat down on the floor with the pot in his arms, hidden behind the table. He beckoned Evan to sit down with him, so he could enjoy his meal in peace.

Evan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a spoon from the table and sat down cross-legged excitedly. Two young men with a spoon in each hand and a bow to the left and right. It's not because I'm hungry, it's just because I'm happy. The party did not change in the slightest because of these two people, the atmosphere was still warm, and the prince was still the focus of attention.

"It's so enjoyable, I never thought I could eat such perfect food. Siegel lay on the ground, burping weakly, and now he couldn't hold even a bean. "But if we eat it, no one else will have it. ”

"Whatever, it's for the prince anyway, what's missing a dish? Besides, it's not the best thing to eat. Let me tell you, in the Star King Capital, there is an elf pastry shop called 'Moon Dew Night', and the starry sky cakes there are much more delicious than this. ”

"You're lucky to know so many things, I've only been to very few places. Siegel smiled and said, "But now I'm also on an adventure, following the knight lord to explore the world, and I've also seen a lot of new things." By the way, I just got my own weapon, and I guess I'll be able to increase my dividends soon. When I save up the money, I'll hold this banquet too. ”

"You're going to invite me. ”

"You!" replied Siegel. After a few seconds, he suddenly thought of a serious problem, tilted his head and asked, "But how can I find you?"

"I'm going to make a name for myself, you're sure to hear about it. Evan was confident.

The two of them lay down and talked for a while more until late at night. Evan pestered Siegel to get him to agree to a sword contest. "I'm just a knight's retinue, you're really looking for an opponent!" Siegel expressed strong displeasure.

"Wait until you think it's appropriate, anyway, my swordsmanship will be stronger than yours, and it will always be stronger. Do you believe it or not?" said Evan.

"I don't believe it, I still have a lot of time to improve!" Siegel laughed as he tried to sit up straight to look stronger and more energetic. He felt his shirt torn and his pants were about to reach their limit, which made him a little nervous and afraid to make a fool of himself in front of his friends. At this moment, there is a wonderful way to draw attention: "Look, my knight is here, and I must go." ”
