Chapter 53 Let them all go
"He did it on purpose, it must be intentional. I must avenge this hatred, and I will never let him go!" Until he returned to the Temple of Water, Shur was still immersed in sadness and kept complaining about the humiliation he had just suffered.
Yes, he finally got what he wanted and tasted the highest-level hospitality banquet in the Duke's Mansion. The intellectual and beautiful Saff was by his side. Following two topics, he always had to do without his little girl, especially the one who was accompanying the empire's prime minister. Anyone who had such a standard treatment should be satisfied.
However, Shuer was still not satisfied.
Logically speaking, the Duke's Mansion has aged wine piled up with cellars, which can collect various precious ingredients around the Emerald Empire, and serve as a chef who is famous in half of the human world. There are countless servants serving on the side. Those who are qualified to visit can enjoy the highest standard except the palace.
Indeed, this is true for other visitors, but Seul was exceptional.
The identity of his visitor was not the apostle of the Dark Moon Goddess or the representative of the church, but the closest friend of Savre, the young lady of the Duke's house. He could almost be regarded as the relative of the Duke. At least the Duke thought so, and he was obviously quite satisfied with this new relative, which could not be treated equally with ordinary visitors. Therefore, what Shur and his party enjoyed was the highest level of the Duke, and often only had a few closest juniors enjoyed.
Family dinner.
The Duke of Silver Fox was born into a destitute noble. When he was young, he had no territory except for a noble title. He sold all his property and even mortgaged the family's ancestral home. The family's servants had long dispersed, so that everything could only be done by themselves.
Including cooking.
I lived in a small shabby room with my wife and children. I had to cook for food and clothing every day and cooked myself at night. This kind of life lasted for several years. Therefore, the Duke developed a habit.
When entertaining the closest people, you must do it yourself and prepare a dish for the visitor, because in his eyes, there is no way to show a sense of closeness better than preparing food for the other person himself.
Except for the few descendants of the third and fourth generation of the Duke family, as well as the imperial emperors in their youth, those who have enjoyed this treatment can count with ten fingers. The strange habit of Duke has always been circulating in the aristocratic circle. All nobles, including the other two imperial dukes, hope to be specially received by the Silver Fox Duke. Unfortunately, in the past ten years, it seems that Savre is the only one who can let the Duke do it himself.
If others were to know that Shur could enjoy this kind of treatment, then Shur would definitely be secretly thrown into revenge by many people when he went out on the streets every day, but Shur was just dissatisfied because... it was so unpalatable.
Very ordinary main course, fried steak loin.
The ingredients are very exquisite. They are selected from the Sikams City, which is rich in the Emerald Empire, and the small bull loin that is fed alone for less than half a year is expensive. Often a small piece of steak is worth an average of one month's expense. According to Angela's unique measurement method, a meal can be worth three Dark Moon Temples.
It's worth the money. This kind of meat is soft and tender. Even when it is growing, you can think of its delicate texture and elastic surface. It tastes even more melted in the mouth and does not have to chew it hard, and the most primitive meat aroma is filled with the teeth.
The ingredients are good enough, which will obviously reduce the difficulty of cooking. Even newbies who have never touched kitchen utensils can make delicious food. They don’t need to be marinated in advance. They take them over and overheat them, and don’t even need sauce. Just sprinkle a little salt and it can be considered a delicious food in the world.
However, the Duke could make the top ingredients into the most terrible poison. If you bite it in one bite, the flavors of various seasonings were mixed together, which was simply creepy.
"So, he must have kidnapped you in order to revenge me and deliberately wanted to poison me to death. Fortunately, Lord Dark Moon bless me, I barely survived." Shure accused with sadness, "I decided to secretly take the white dog, no, white wolf, to secretly let it eat all the sheep raised by your grandfather. I want him to know the consequences of poisoning me."
"Hehe, don't talk nonsense. Grandpa didn't mean it." After coming out of the Duke's mansion, Saff's steps became more brisk. The haze that had always lingered between his eyebrows became much fainter. The female swordsman with a bright smile touched Shuer's shoulder intimately, ignoring the moans and moans from the bones coming from her shoulder, and said happily, "I'm used to the food made by Grandpa for so bad food."
"This kind of thing shouldn't be said with a smug look on his face." Xiuer twitched his lips and rolled his eyes and said, "He can treat such a simple food into chronic poison. From a certain perspective, he is a genius. I admire you very much. He has lived so well to such a big life."
"Hey, because I have a good physique."
"You are agreeing with me, you admit that it is a chronic poison. It's obviously unpalatable, but it can't be said. The key is that you have to eat it all with a smile. It's the most tragic torture in the world. Look, Lisa and the silver fool have been tortured in a trance."
Shuer did not exaggerate. The two girls along the way were not energetic at all, and they were not even lazy to say anything. After all, they were both priests. Faced with the kindness of the Silver Fox Duke, they could not refuse, and they could not be rude. They could only act gracefully and showed a very enjoyable expression, even though their stomachs were already churning.
"So you think it's bad, too." Angela no longer had the strength to argue with Lisa and said weakly, "I think you've eaten all the rest of it, and I thought you really like it."
"The Lord said that every grain should be rare. It is the flesh and blood of the earth, and the blessing of Parva at a low price." Lisa was also listless and muttered in a low mood, "As a believer of the Lord, waste is a serious sin. And... that is the top beef with a guest of forty gold coins. There is no place to buy it in other cities. How can you be like you, with an excuse that you have a young age and a young appetite? Not to mention that it is just unpalatable, even if it is really poisonous, for the sake of forty gold coins, it is wrong, because of the sincerity of the Duke, you have to force it to eat it. At worst, you can detoxify each other with your brother in the future."
"That's right, this is a qualified Dark Moon believer. Lisa, you are worthy of being the pride of the goddess. Don't slacken and keep working hard in the future."
"Uh-huh."
Oh, your Dark Moon Temple has a strange definition of qualification. Angela is too lazy to pay attention to the idiots whose eyes have turned into gold coins. Let them entertain themselves. Humph, if you continue, you will be punished by Lord Luna sooner or later. Moreover, you are not a bastard who makes people angry. Only the kind Duke will use torture to deal with you with compromises.
"No, my grandfather is actually very happy today." It was a miracle. The timid female swordsman actually had the courage to talk to Angela, a stranger in her eyes. "He will only receive guests in this way when he is the happiest. Even me will have to be unfortunately eaten once a while."
"Unlucky?"
"Ha..." I accidentally said the words in my heart, and Suff's eyes quickly changed the subject, "In so many years, I haven't seen my grandfather be as happy as today, just like the knot that has been bothering for a long time has been untied."
"Yes, I can finally send someone who has been giving him a headache away, and send him far away to the Rose Capital. He can finally be quiet for a while, and he must be happy."
"I'm talking nonsense again, I hate it." Suffer said dissatisfiedly, "Don't think I don't know. It must be because you said something to him in secret that he would be so happy."
"Hehe, didn't you hear it all at the banquet? He knew that I would trick you into the Rose Capital to serve Dark Moon Temple for free for the rest of his life, so he was so happy."
"It's my parents' business." Ignoring Shure's excuse, a faint mist floated on Suff's glasses, and he said with his head down, "It's only their business that makes you feel that it's necessary to use sound insulation magic."
"Well, but I won't tell you the details."
"I don't want to hear it either." Saf said softly, "I know that the inside story is very complicated, and there should be many things that will make me sad. You hide it from me, in fact, to protect me. Since that's the case, there is no need for me to know. Haha, I have thought something was wrong with my father's affairs and mother's affairs since I was a child. However, after so many years, and now it has become like this between my father. I feel very tired and don't want to worry about these things anymore. Moreover, since I'm about to leave the imperial capital and give the last twenty years to the end, let them all go."
"Well, I know you think so, so I didn't plan to hide what you have from you, ha, how about it, this tongue twister is good."
"A naive ghost, changing the subject again." Savus gave Shul a blank look, "I knew you would definitely not listen to me."
"How could it be? As long as the conditions allow, I will definitely satisfy your wish. Haha, I'm afraid that the conditions do not allow it."
"Whatever you want." The female swordsman sighed weakly, "The same thing is the case, don't go too far. No matter how you treat me, he is my father after all."
"I won't rush to the door to beat him up. On the contrary, I will not take the initiative to do anything. This is my promise. Oh, you can rest assured." Shure smiled mysteriously and raised his eyebrows suddenly. "Did you find out that I am becoming more and more popular now. I have been blocked here before I even entered the visitor area. Haha, didn't you make an appointment to meet in the evening? You were afraid that I would break the appointment, so I stayed here and waited for me early, Lord Oranna."
Archbishop Oranna, dressed in a robe of water, was walking out of the resident building of the Dark Moon Temple and just met Shuer and his party. Obviously, this would never be a coincidence.
