Chapter 502 Dinner Party
Everyone from the Black Snake Bay Mission walked into Kush Castle, where the dinner was held.
When the secret party leaders and their followers stepped into the castle made of black bricks and stones, and their rough clogs stepped on the luxurious wool carpet, they all exclaimed in amazement.
The fireplace in the main hall is burning with a roaring flame, and the bright candles and fluorescent stones embedded in the walls illuminate the room brightly.
Two rows of columns carved with saints and angels support the multiple overlapping ceilings.
Ceramic plates contained maroon roast suckling pig, sizzling pan-fried steaks were placed on the iron plate, and thick cream of mushroom soup was passed around in the hands of the waitress.
Of course, there are also generous portions of charcoal-grilled pork belly, Norn's famous vegetable sauerkraut stewed pork knuckles, cold cuts of pork ham, and sauerkraut and pig killing soup served in wine barrels.
Due to this year's bumper grain harvest, the opening of mountains, forests, lakes and the popularization of potato roots, almost four or five households in ten households raise chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock.
The Salvation Army has a breeding pig farm under its name, selling piglets at low prices. It also popularized the technique of castrating pigs and successfully eliminated the smell of pork caused by eating potato roots.
On the side seats of the banquet were almond biscuits and baked snacks on exquisite silver platters, handmade by Madeleine, the Chief of the Court of Truth.
For Madeleine, truth is work and baking is life.
The milky white soup is topped with finely chopped parsley and sea salt and pepper, and the rich aroma is captivating.
“Hey, hey, where are you going?”
If Wenken hadn’t pulled him away, a young wizard would have almost been lured away by the scent.
"Be smart and don't let people see the jokes of our Black Snake Bay...hiss...Black Snake Bay people." Another middle-aged wizard cursed in a low voice.
"Is this the life that nobles live?"
"Aren't we a little too plain in what we wear?"
"Look, they actually have cheese and beef patties, I'm going to I haven’t eaten beef in ten years!”
Due to the tropical climate of Black Snake Bay and the dense rainforest and swamps, there is less cultivated land in the plains and the food production is very low.
It is even more difficult to cook grilled or seasoned food, especially livestock meat and dairy products.
The best food they had ever tasted was the creamy red soup and cinnamon rolls at the Secret Party United Wizards Dinner in Tiannv City.
This is just an ordinary middle-class family banquet in the empire, but it is already the highest level dinner in Black Snake Bay.
What they usually eat are all kinds of cold fruit dishes and snake meat paste, and they can't eat four hot dishes a year.
Except for the endless addition of spices, the food is slightly insufficient compared to the food of ordinary farmers in Qianhe River Valley.
Compared to those young and young wizards, these secret party leaders were quite emotional.
To be honest, many of them have never entered a noble's castle in their lives. The only chance may be to be caught, escorted to the castle for trial, and then hanged.
But now, they stood majestically in front of the nobles' castle hall, accepting food that only nobles could eat.
"This is really..." Schlingman, the patriarch of the Bald Head Club, couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't say any more.
While discussing in front of the lively hall, more than 30 main members of the mission looked around and even became timid and did not dare to continue walking in.
When they were at a loss, Catherine came first, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys are here quite early." Catherine wore a purple dress and tied her long hair behind her head. A few strands of burgundy hair hung down from her temples, looking casual and delicate. "We were bored, so we walked all the way from Wayne Manor where we were staying, just in time to see the scenery of Fort Joan of Arc." Wengken is considered relatively calm among the people of Black Snake Bay.
To be honest, this is because he is a Norn, the first generation dependent, and he joined the Fire Rose Society later.
"Ahem." Schlingman coughed a few times, "This is too embarrassing. What is the etiquette here? Palace etiquette or folk etiquette?"
"There is nothing to pay attention to. , The Salvation Army is not a noble, as long as you don’t mess with the food, you can do whatever you want.” Catherine explained to them with a smile.
"I thought it was like the one in the City of Goddess." Schlingman complained in a low voice, "If you want to talk about this level, I brought my tuxedo and silk shirt over. Standing here in this outfit is like Like a clown.”
Catherine glanced at his neat coat and ruffled shirt, then at his long hair and shiny forehead, and then at the linen burqa behind him. , open vests, men's long skirts, companions with colorful faces.
"My fault, I must inform you in advance next time." Catherine decided to obey him.
Led by Catherine, the Black Snake Bay Mission followed closely behind.
They moved stiffly and didn't know where to place their hands and feet. They subconsciously formed a line and walked shoulder to shoulder in the incompatible house.
"Kathy (Katherine's nickname)." Lulesi sat on the shoulders of the Sister of Pain, Sephy, and stopped Catherine, "Who is coming to this banquet?"
"There is a Papal State Some senior monks, some officers from the Salvation Army, then the Knights of Kush, and Dean Ludwick of Kasha County, and then there are you."
Catherine told them one by one. Introducing the participants of the dinner: "The total number of people does not exceed one hundred, and they are all key figures from several parties."
"The monks from Kasha County are also here? What a coincidence?" Onken blinked Eye.
Since Juanno relied on the support of the Joann Party to attend university, the Brago Monastery under his leadership had some tacit cooperation with the Joann Party.
Although both parties were accused of "teaching witchcraft" and "teaching religion" because of this matter, the relationship between the two parties has always been pretty good.
The Juano followers fled, sometimes even through the Juano party's underground organization.
“I thought there were only a few young priests.” Lulesi played with her white hair with her fingers, “I really didn’t expect Ludwick to come.”
“Saint Sun Your Majesty said that the enemy of your enemy is your friend, we all have enemies called the church, and unity is the right way." Catherine did not forget that Horn had given him the task, and was still looking at Lulesi's thoughts.
"Where is Horn? Let him come to see me." Lulesi held Saifei's head and asked, "Why won't he be the one to receive you? Where is the person?"
"Didn't something embarrassing happen before? Your Majesty, I'm afraid the situation will be embarrassing, so let me ease it in."
"What's so embarrassing about this?" On the contrary, Schlingman on the side asked strangely, "I would have almost forgotten if you didn't tell me."
What Schlingman said was not a lie. If Catherine didn't tell them, they would have almost forgotten.
For the big-hearted people of Black Snake Bay, what kind of diplomatic accident can this be? There was no fight again.
When the secret parties of the two parties met, the two leaders dueled on the spot over whether salty red soup or sweet red soup. Both of them had an egg pierced. This was called a diplomatic accident.
Why don't you just hold your future mother-in-law in your arms and pinch her face twice? What's the big deal.
"I told you, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty doesn't believe me." Catherine spread her hands, "If you insist on seeing him, he is on the second floor now, and Dean Ludwig happens to be "He's here too."
"Let's go and see him," Lulesi said concisely.
