Chapter 459

Victor lingered in Rose Manor for a few days and finally embarked on the journey of returning to Randall's collar.

It's the end of January of the earth season. The weather is warmer, the ice and snow melt, and the bright sunshine has greened the earth and dried the road. Victor's car drove all the way south along the Boulevard on the Bank of Yinyue river. It took only 10 days to reach Pinghu Town.

At this time, in the evening, Victor was going to go directly back to Yinyue manor to rest, but Randall's border guard told him that his wife gave a banquet in Pinghu castle to receive the wind and wash the dust for the master.

The lady in the guard's mouth refers to Nicole. During Victor's absence, as the partner of viscount Randall, she took charge of the power center of the family - silver moon manor and exercised the power of the viscount.

Nicole was born in the Lord family of York family. Although her parents' status is low, she has lived in Rose Manor since childhood. She worships the great Knight trisley as a teacher. She once served as Sylvia's personal female escort and is regarded as the direct confidant of Rose Queen.

According to the blood theory of strong father and weak mother, the physical quality of ordinary noble women is difficult to bear the blood of high-level knights. In order to obtain pure blood and healthy offspring, silver Knights often choose naturally awakened female trainee knights as their spouses. Therefore, Nicole mainly received the education of the Lord's wife and personal maid in Rose Manor.

Compared with Sophia, Nicole is more like a competent Viscount except that she has no legal name. Besides, she and Lilia are very close. In the eyes of Victor's original followers, Nicole was the master's wife.

Most importantly, Victor and Nicole have the same life and death experience and deep emotional foundation.

It is a duty of the deputy head of the family to convene important members of the territory and set up a family dinner to receive and wash the dust for the Lord, so as to announce the transfer of power.

The carriage stopped directly beside the suspension bridge. Victor stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the towering Pinghu fort. Surrounded by two teams of guards, he passed through the suspension bridge and the city gate and entered the knight hall.

Nicole led the little attendants of Yinyue manor to stand at the door to welcome the male master who returned from afar. Her hair is loose and she wears a lady's dress. She has a dignified and elegant manner, a graceful and moving temperament, and her beautiful eyes are full of tenderness.

Victor's heart was warm. As soon as he was ready to praise Nicole, a little fat man rushed into his arms.

"Master, master, I have changed my teeth! Look, look, have I grown taller?"

Bertina tugged at Victor's skirt and kept shaking. She secretly stood on tiptoe, raised her small round face, bared her lips, revealed her small mouth without front teeth, and her big clear eyes were full of expectation.

The funny look of the little girl is adorable.

Victor picked up bertina and kissed her on the red apple like face. "Well, my little Belle has really grown tall."

Caligula also came up, bent down, pointed to his teeth and foolishly showed off: "master, aka has changed his teeth. Bell, you see, aka has changed his teeth."

"Bell changed six teeth. How many did you change, aka?" Bertina hooked Victor's neck, stuck out her small head and looked curiously at Caligula's teeth.

"One, two, three, four..." Caligula broke his finger, counted it several times, and said very seriously: "aka, changed 21 teeth."

"You lied. You changed so many teeth. Why didn't you grow tall?" Bertina was so angry that no one could change more teeth than she did. As for the change of teeth, the little girl will not consider it.

Caligula looked puzzled. Bertina didn't grow tall, but why did the master say she grew tall?

Victor shook his head and smiled. He handed the little fat pier to aka. Little fatty climbed onto the silly big man's shoulder very skillfully, held his head and giggled.

As long as bertina is happy, everyone will be happy, attendant etiquette... What's that?

Nicole lifted her train and bowed to victor. "Welcome home, my Lord."

Victor came up and took Nicole's slim hand and said lovingly, "my wife, I'm glad to see you. And you're so beautiful today."

Nicole smiled sweetly. According to the etiquette of the noble couple, she kissed Victor on the cheek, took his arm and walked to the knight hall.

Hundreds of green sand candles shine brightly, showing the fine details of the knight's hall. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of green sedge and amber. Randall led the village heads, Sheriff Munk and the little attendants of silver moon manor to salute victor. Of course, Nelson and bear commander Barrett. After completing the assassination mission, they dived directly from Dengshi city back to Pinghu Town, waiting to report to victor. Barol and Todd of Mercury also came back, but they were too special to appear in public.

Victor winked at Nelson and Barrett, took off Nicole's arm and knelt on one knee in front of Randall's garrison father Miller.

Wearing a fine linen robe, the old priest held his Scepter flat on Victor's shoulder, nodded solemnly and said, "Viscount Randall, may my lord bless you."

To confirm the identity of the Lord, the garrison priest declares to everyone that the Lord will return to the family and power will naturally be transferred.

Victor said, "praise the Supreme Lord of glory." Then he stood up and joked affectionately, "old man, you look good. Do you want me to arrange a personal maid for you?"

Miller rolled his eyes and shouted angrily, "open the dinner quickly. I'm hungry!"

Victor laughed and took Nicole to the top of the long table. The rest of the people also took their seats, and the servants filled in with all kinds of dishes. After a while, five long tables were filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.

The Lord held a banquet in the knight hall with a fixed etiquette process, and everyone's position was very exquisite. Victor and Nicole sit side by side on the throne, with father Miller on the right hand and Lord Nelson on the left. Next to Nelson was a beautiful woman with a hot figure and deep facial features like sculpture. Her name is Lauretta Randall, the trainee Knight of Rose Manor, was once Nicole's subordinate and now Lord Nelson's personal maid.

Directly opposite Lauretta is, of course, bertina. She sat next to Reverend Miller, shaking her legs, staring at the table full of delicious food with big brown red eyes, and her mouth kept making a snort.

Then came Brandon and Shirley, the illegitimate children of the old Marquis of SoLIM. As the adopted sons and daughters of viscount Randall, although they are young, their status is not low. Behind the Brandon brothers and sisters are all 17 noble children whom Nicole persuaded king to adopt for the Randall family. The silly Caligula sat at the end.

The seating of the banquet is arranged according to the aristocratic blood and family name. Barrett, village heads, Sheriff Munk, pro guard captain Gru, vice captain Renault and shack, swamp scout leader jack, and the little attendants of silver moon manor can only sit in front of other tables.

Bertina was the exception. No one would object even if she sat on Victor's lap.

Victor looked around for a week, half over his body, and whispered, "why didn't Lilia, the Elena sisters and Lord Nelson come?"

Nicole smiled and showed her snow-white shell teeth. Nelson coughed, covered his mouth with his fist and said in a muffled voice, "Linda... My two sons have eaten bad stomachs, and Linda wants to take care of them, so... Hei hei."

Victor can't help smiling. Lilia, Elena sisters and Linda have all received physical remodeling and are in the period of tooth replacement. I'm afraid they won't show up in formal occasions until their teeth grow.

Even if women love beauty, Nelson's appearance is too funny. Thanks to him, he killed a Silver Knight.

Victor wanted to make fun of him. Nicole pressed the back of his hand and said softly, "honey, it's time for a toast."

Victor took the wine cup made of refined gold, stood up and said in a loud voice, "please fill this cup. May the glory of the Supreme Lord protect us and the Randall family prosper."

They all stood up and shouted, "may the glory of the Supreme Lord protect us, and may the Randall family prosper."

The appetizer of the banquet is brewed from purple sugarcane and green cherry fruit. It tastes sour, sweet and appetizing. Victor drank a toast and said with a smile, "please enjoy the delicious food tonight."

Everyone cheered, sat in their respective positions and focused on the food on the table.

It is very serious for the Lord to hold a family banquet. In the silver age, Lords and family Knights often had to dress up and go out to fight half of their meals. Although the kingdom of Gambis was relatively stable, the urgent tradition of the Lord's family banquet was inherited and a set of etiquette norms were formed.

The Lord prepared rich dishes in advance. The family members treated the food with a correct attitude. They were not allowed to speak when eating. It didn't matter whether they used their hands or tableware. They ate as soon as possible and kept a clear mind at all times. Everyone could only drink two glasses of wine, the first aperitif and the last digestive wine. After tasting the main course and knocking the plate with a knife and fork, he said he was full and could not touch any food, but he could chat with other full people.

The atmosphere of the family banquet is tense and dull. In the process of eating, the only fun is to compete who eats more.

The good appetite on the table represents that you are very satisfied with the food provided by the host and show your strength and courage.

Of course, the chef of the Randall family is good at cooking. They also cook top-level ingredients, such as charcoal roasted six legged alligator tail, white fungus giant oyster broth, steamed white belly salmon, roasted suckling pig, ground lizard kebab, wine roasted goose liver, iron plate shrimp, braised lamb chops with sauce, stewed beef tongue, cream vegetable salad... The huge table is full.

The clang of knives and forks and the chewing sound of teeth biting barbecue resounded through the knight hall. Carrigura, bertina and Nelson ate one by one, and their mouths were full of oil.

Nelson gnawed at the whole crocodile tail; Caligula has killed a pig's hoof, two sheep's legs and four cow tongues; Not willing to be outdone, bertina buried her round face in the roast suckling pig. Driven by these three guys, everyone's appetite soared. A whole dish was served and immediately swept away.

To Victor's surprise, father Miller's appetite was even greater than that of vorono. The maid has changed four plates for the old priest.

Before long, four strong servants carried out the main course of the party, which was a three meter long swamp tiger spotted fish.

The adult tiger spotted fish is huge and weighs 500 pounds. They have fierce temperament and sharp teeth. They are ferocious deep-water carnivorous fish. Half dragon people in the Everglades will hunt tiger spotted fish for nine headed snake lizard, but they often pay the price of their lives. The meat of tiger spotted fish is rough and tight. Compared with violent land creatures, ordinary people can bite. Although the taste of fish is poor, it is rich in a special colloid, which can improve human physical quality. The alchemical Empire classified tiger spot fish meat as a second kind of food material. However, the eggs of tiger spotted fish are compatible with the elements of void water and belong to a class of extraordinary ingredients.

This tiger mottled fish lacks a head, and the alchemical dragon lizard can obviously restrain its appetite more than the swamp dragon lizard in nature. Nicole stepped forward, raised the refined gold dagger and gently rowed along the belly of the fish. The fish eggs the size of an ox eye were wrapped in a thick sauce and poured out. The maid carefully put the eggs into a large crystal bowl and followed Nicole behind her.

Nicole moves gracefully to distribute varying numbers of fish eggs to everyone on the main table. Finally, she went to Jack at the second table and said, "the swamp scout found this tiger spotted fish whose head was bitten by a hexapod crocodile in the deep lake of the Everglades. Captain Jack is entitled to enjoy the tiger spotted fish eggs."

Jack stood up, stroked his chest and said humbly, "we're just lucky."

Nicole smiles, gives him four eggs and returns to her place. The maid removed the remaining eggs for Lilia, the Elena sisters and Linda, and Nelson's twin sons.

Victor shook his head secretly. Tiger spotted fish eggs have the extraordinary effect of delaying aging and are valuable. Borui fishermen caught female tiger spotted fish, and the eggs were sold by one, with a price of 20 gold sols each.

This kind of food rich in life elements is a waste to the alchemist militia.

With a feeling of regret, Victor tasted a fish egg. It tasted fishy, but he felt comfortable all over. He prefers food with water affinity, which has nothing to do with the taste of the food.

The element sea evolved the laws and materials of the different world. Ordinary people realized the interaction between the body and the outside world by taking food. Different foods have different effects, but the most basic properties are the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. The alchemical Empire classified it into four attributes: body, soul, fire, perception and life. Modern pharmaceutics is inherited from the magic medicine of the chosen ones. I'm afraid it is the heritage of the ancient alchemist and mage Association. Today's pharmaceutical theory mainly serves mortals, that is, knights, priests and ordinary people other than extraordinary knights. However, the principle of pharmaceutics is the same.

Water element corresponds to life attributes, which are specifically manifested in reproduction, physical fitness, youth, healing ability, life span and so on. The water season is the season of life, and the biological fetus contains abundant water elements. There is a wonderful secret law circulating in the aristocratic circle: first select a pair of strong goats, feed only several special herbs within two years, and wait until the spring of the third year, slaughter the ewes, take out the sheep fetus for the aristocrats to eat, which can achieve the effect of delaying aging and repairing physical damage.

How can a secret sheep fetus compare with tiger spotted fish eggs?

However, any food or medicine has no effect on the extraordinary knight, except the blue taro, which is highly praised by the ancient alchemists.

Supernatural Knights interact with void elements all the time. They eat and drink more out of biological instinctive habits, and their essence is to follow the laws of mortals. It's all right if they don't eat or drink, but in a few months, they will be assimilated by the source of the world, which is equivalent to starvation and thirst.

It can only be said that extraordinary Knights move from vulgarity to the origin of the world, while ordinary things are on the evolution path of world laws.

The elemental sea evolves countless mortals. Victor is not an ordinary human, but he also belongs to a kind of mortals. The world law gave him the natural ability to automatically absorb the void water element. Although he could not control the void element as freely as the angry wave knight, his body was filled with the water element representing life.

Tiger spotted fish eggs are just delicious for victor. They can neither improve his life attributes, nor help him understand his surging talent and taste the taste.

Victor excitedly knocked on the plate with a knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth to show that he was full.

"Honey, do you want fish eggs?" Victor courted Nicole.

Nicole smiled, shook her head, knocked on the plate and whispered, "I don't need it. Honey, let's give it to others."

Bertina and Caligula both looked at Victor and Nicole eagerly. They ate up their tiger spotted fish eggs. Victor smiled, first set aside four fish eggs for Miller, patted the old priest on the shoulder and said, "old Miller, eat more and live a few more years."

Miller was not polite. He picked up the plate and ate all the tiger spotted fish eggs. Bertina's eyes immediately turned from Miller's plate to victor and Nicole's plate.

"Nelson, Lauretta, Joanna, this is yours."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Seeing that the snacks were about to cry, Nicole pursed her lips and distributed the tiger spotted fish eggs to everyone on the table. Bertina was divided into four, three Caligula, two brother and sister Brandon and Shirley, and one noble servant each. Brandon's side, a 10-year-old boy was divided into two fish eggs.

Nicole turned her head and explained to victor, "Klaus awakened his fighting spirit and resonated with an element bit."

Klaus was born in a declining noble family. When the horse hill held a martial arts competition, he trudged to Jinshui city with his uncle. Later, he was bought by Ni with 700 kinsol and became a little attendant of Randall family. Victor's impression was that the blonde boy was shy, silent, but very hard-working. When other children were sleeping, Klaus often practiced the secret form of the monkey secretly by himself. For this reason, he was punished by Elena.

Now, Klaus's natural awakening surprised victor. He asked, "Klaus, when did you wake up?"

The waiter quickly ate the food, knocked on the plate, stood up, covered his mouth and replied vaguely, "two months ago."

Nicole covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Klaus showed the most difficult stabbing skills in the manor competition, defeated all his opponents and won the championship. I allowed Klaus to undergo body remodeling. Unexpectedly, he awakened his fighting spirit. Now, he has lost his teeth and his words leak."

Klaus blushed and nodded. The other little attendants looked envious. Victor raised his hand, motioned Klaus to sit down, and asked Nicole in surprise, "can body remodeling help the noble awaken the knight's blood?"

Nicole said: "If you don't forget, there will be repercussions. If you persevere, there will be rewards. Body remodeling requires the fire god of the soul. The eagle lion secret shape also points to lighting the fire of the soul. Klaus usually works very hard. The three factors have created a naturally awakened trainee knight. He may not have a chance to become a real knight in the future. Some secret knights in Rose Manor are in the process of reshaping the body In the awakening. "

"So it is... No wonder Sylvia wants to exchange the washing medicine for the plastic quota... Hehe, it's great. I can save a lot of money." Victor smiled and suddenly thought of another thing. He asked suspiciously, "is there a ruling warrior in Randall experience area now?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded and said, "three months ago, master Yukar led a group of missionaries to Pinghu Town to prepare for the construction of a general education school. Master Yukar has been guarding the southern fortress these days. Therefore, he did not attend the dinner."

"Who performed the fire of the soul?"

"Me." Father Miller tapped the plate and pointed to his nose.

"Aren't you a second level priest? The fire of the soul is a fourth level magic!"

Miller nodded and said, "yes."

Nicole was startled, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "ah? Father Miller, didn't the Pope promote you when he left Randall's collar?"

"Hey, actually, I only know holy light." Father Miller said triumphantly, "my Lord said that the holy light can heal the wound, and the holy light is the healing technique. My Lord said that the Holy Light ignites the fire of the soul, and the holy light is the fire of the soul."

"My Lord is not omnipotent, but in the field of holy light, my Lord is supreme."

Victor was silent for a long time, knocked on the table and said with emotion: "more than five years ago, I was still worried about food... Unconsciously, we were so strong."
