Chapter 259: The Dinner Party
Laura has no interest in paying attention to Ulysses Crowe, who has entered a state of madness, and she is not the White Lotus.
Eventually, the notorious mercenary leader was still dead, stabbed to death, with three palace guards acting as executioners, and three vibranium spears piercing his head, heart, and spine.
"This is a really unique way of execution."
Laura picked up her glass and took a sip, not knowing how much alcohol this homemade local fruit wine was, she felt as bland as water anyway.
Su Rui, who was sitting next to her, also took a big sip of her example, and then gave a long hiccup in satisfaction, and said to Laura:
"This is my brother's suggestion, and it was supposed to be another ancient punishment according to the old folks of the Presbyterian Church."
To demonstrate, she picked up a roast chicken from her plate and explained as she gestured:
"The prisoner was stripped naked and tied to a stone tablet outside the jungle temple, and then drenched his whole body with a plant juice that has great attraction to animals, and when the prisoner was eaten by various beasts, birds, snakes and insects to the brink of death, the black panther would dig out his heart and send it to the temple to sacrifice to the leopard god."
Looking at such a seventeen-year-old girl on the dinner table with the most insipid words to say the most terrible things, the key is that after the demonstration of the roast chicken, she still eats very deliciously, Laura is a little speechless, can only sigh that people's growth and concepts are really closely related to the living environment and surrounding culture.
Then she blocked out the images that had been automatically generated in her mind, reached out and pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Well, it smells so good!"
The people of Wakanda, who had taken revenge, had a happy meal at the dinner, and by the way, they also performed a traditional folk dance with African characteristics.
Of course, worshipping the god of cheetahs, they refer more to the image of the black panther in their costume and movement design, and their opponents are lions, crocodiles, hyenas and other common predators on the African continent.
What Laura didn't expect was that the climax of the banquet and performance was an actor dressed seven or eight times like the Black Panther suit, waving his claws to engage an enemy wearing an ugly mask, wearing green fish scale armor, and holding a trident.
"This is ... Namor? ”
Su Rui, who was also watching with great interest on the side, noticed that she was talking, but because of the noisy ambient sound, she didn't hear the content clearly, and thought that Laura was wondering what it was, so she continued to explain her dutifully:
"Although neither my brother nor I have seen it with our own eyes, we have heard from our elders since we were children that in the rough blue sea lived a vicious and warlike race that claimed to be the descendants of Atlantis.
Living in the deep sea, they hate all surface creatures, and especially like to hunt humans living on the surface.
Thirty-five years ago, the Atlanteans at the bottom of the ocean frantically used some kind of supernatural energy to create a super-large tsunami in East Africa.
The 100-meter-high wave swept all the countries along the way, including the Kingdom of Wakanda at that time. ”
At this time, there was indeed a group of people dressed in blue clothes representing the sea water in the campfire field, and where they passed, the animals and plants played by the actors fell down one after another, and let out a burst of wails.
"My father, the guardian of the Black Panther, personally united the warriors of all the tribes of Africa, including the eighteen tribes of Wakanda, to repel the attacks of the evil underseamen, killed several of the Atlantean priests who caused the tsunami, and drove the enemy back to their dark depths.
It was after that that Wakanda spent three full years and countless manpower and material resources to use vibranium technology to build an energy shield that enveloped the entire kingdom, and has been isolated from the world ever since. ”
Unconsciously, with the dancing by the campfire and Su Rui's explanation, Laura had already eaten the mountain of food in front of her, which made many high-level executives who paid special attention to her, an outside guest, twitch their cheeks.
Laura didn't actually notice this problem herself, because when she was fascinated by the story, she habitually had to eat something in her mouth, and she chewed and chewed to wipe out the food in front of her, and she didn't even pay much attention to the taste.
"So, you Wakanda and Atlantis are real feuds?"
"According to what the older generation said and the relevant written records, yes. Also, Sister Laura, you have such a good appetite! ”
Su Rui, who had been talking, just felt a little thirsty when she talked too much, but seeing Laura eating so deliciously, her brain also had an illusion of "I'm hungry too", but in fact, the message back from her stomach was "No!" Can't eat any more! It's all over! If you eat it again, you will have to yue! ”
"Uh, hahaha! It's okay, it's your stuff here that's so delicious, hahaha! ”
Laura, who had come back to her senses, also found that the food in front of her was empty, and not far away, the banquet leader Okoye was being trained in front of the old king, and two other guards were carrying two baskets full of food to her.
However, Wakanda actually didn't care much about this kind of behavior that would be looked down upon by the so-called nobles in the outside world, after all, there were several tribes within themselves that were also famous for being able to eat, no, a strong man with a height of two meters stood up and raised the wine jug to her:
"I'm Mbaku of the White Ape Tribe, you're very good at eating, you're a warrior! I toast you! ”
After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the jug, Laura was a little speechless, this guy who was obviously a standard black man, but his face had to be smeared with white powder, and he spoke too straight, but he could only stand up and drank the same fruit wine full of flasks.
"Sister Laura, he is the new leader of the White Ape Tribe, and he has always been incompatible with our Black Panther Tribe, but his own strength is similar to that of my brother who does not wear a battle suit."
Laura nodded her head to indicate that she understood, and then continued to eat, just in time to replenish the energy she had consumed in the battle with the Red Tank.
However, considering that so many people's attention was on her side, Laura's eating appearance was quite elegant, but in fact, the food disappeared quickly.
Seeing her like this, Su Rui's brain began to uncontrollably release "I'm okay!" Eat! The signal, of course, immediately followed by a strong protest.
"Here, try this, just open the outer shell and eat the inner kernel, this thing barely takes up much space."
Laura noticed the little girl's predicament this time, thought for a moment, took out a bag of melon seeds from the space and handed it to her.
