Heaven’s Intention

The only thing that makes the guests a little bit regretful is that. According to the custom, the young lady or young lady will be arranged to sit between the nobles, and the men and women will sit together, which can make both parties more enjoyable.

But now everyone has no wives or daughters, so they can only keep things simple.

During the meal, all the people present are as polite as possible to avoid making jokes.

A sumptuous banquet with 15 courses served successively.

The recipe is determined by the chef obtained by Romon, and it is roughly as follows:

Grilled venison: The venison is basted in oil and cooked over charcoal to give it a golden brown color. After serving, the guests serve with seasonings such as salt and pepper. Pepper is used in every dish and cloves are sometimes added as a spice. Cream is used as a seasoning, just for fried food. Pepper is used the most, it can help appetizers and stimulate guests to drink more.

Wild boar stewed for half a day, poured tomato sauce.

Grilled bear meat is today's top-notch delicacy. It was specially brought by Romon. Everyone present likes this dish very much.

Grill all kinds of poultry. Includes crane, heron, mallard and capon, among others, seasoned with cloves and garlic.

Due to its proximity to the coast, fish are particularly abundant, including mullet, carp, herring, four-shun freshwater fish, salmon and trout, etc.

The final course consists of a variety of sweets and desserts, including tartlets, custard biscuits and more. Fruits include figs, apples, raisins, etc., and sometimes cheese.

At the end there was a strong strong wine infused with ginger and pepper, which was called Lai Tou, one type of which was mixed with wine with honey to make the sweetness more intense, and was tempered with musk, Soak raisins, ginger, and cloves for a long time.

This kind of wine is an after-dinner wine, which can make people's nerves more excited.

Except for the absence of the band's music, all the guests were quite satisfied with the delicious food. This cannot be too demanding. After all, it takes time to cultivate the band. Even so, the atmosphere is still lively and noisy.

The guests exchanged seats between the tables, talking about love, hunting dogs, falcons, tournaments, the navy, performance in the disaster, and other topics. During the whole banquet, almost all the guests liked to drink. The goblet was filled to the brim, and I drank it in one gulp.

Of course, during the banquet, everyone was very polite, paying attention to the small etiquette, and everyone was cautious. For fear of causing ridicule from the people around.

Farfell and Nick are no exception,

Now they all feel like noblemen.

At the end of dessert, Romon asked: The servant of the great God of Order, Mr. Batheron, and the servant of the great Goddess of Commerce, Miss Busardi, may I ask you to come to our town? satisfied?

The two, who were eating very comfortably, replied almost in unison: Your lord, your generosity and justice satisfy us very much, and will be heard in the ears of God.

Romon smiled and asked again: We are going to fight pirates recently, are you willing to send a few servants of God to help our wounded sailors?

This, both of them hesitated.

Unlike the calamity, participating in this kind of battle will not be favored by the gods.

Moreover, vicious pirates often do not consider God's servants and lay down their butcher knives.

After thinking for a while, Miss Busardi said wisely: My lord, the Church of God doesn't get involved in this kind of battle, but we can sell you healing potions at a cheap price.

Romon was originally a temptation, so he listened. Just smiling and nodding, he put down his wine glass, indicating that the banquet was over.

Everyone left one after another.

The next day, when Romon woke up early in the morning, Nick came with a notebook.

Well, let's go to see the training situation of the navy now. Do you have other things to do now? Romon finished his breakfast and looked at Nick.

At this moment, is there anything more important than this? Nick asked without answering.

You bastard. Romon smiled, stood up, walked in front of Nick, and patted him on the shoulder. Let's go.

Okay. Nick also stood up early at this time, followed behind Romon, and the two walked outside. As soon as he opened the door, he almost bumped into someone head-on: Scholar Lulun? You haven't left yet?

My lord, I suggest to inspect the navy at the port now, lest this pirate's action will cause any bad influence in the navy. Scholar Lulun obviously just rushed over, and when he saw Romon, he immediately suggested: After seeing the navy, I will have more confidence in going to the city to negotiate with the nobles.

When Romon and Nick heard it, they were all happy. We're just deciding to go, so let's go together.

After hearing this, Scholar Lu Lun naturally agreed.

The three of them went out and got into the carriage respectively. At this time, Nick and Lu Lun were already real nobles. Although the rank was not high, they were also people with actual fiefdoms. Their carriages are very ornate and spacious.

However, according to the usual practice, when building the carriage, they intentionally compared it with Romon's private carriage, deliberately reducing the size and gorgeousness a lot.

Although Romon didn't say anything after knowing it, he nodded secretly: Go to the port.

After getting into the car, he only said this to the driver, and Romon closed his eyes and got up.

Since he sensed that special natural force on the ocean last time, he has been practicing and experiencing it for the past few days, and he has a certain understanding and grasp of this kind of energy that belongs to the natural force of the sea.

Whenever he has time, whenever he is free, he will immerse himself in the experience of this kind of energy. Every time he has more experience, his druid level will improve a little bit.

If you improve a lot, you will naturally increase your level and strength.

Romon's carriage was driving ahead, followed by Nick and Scholar Lulun's carriage. The three carriages drove one after the other for a while, and Romon's carriage, which was at the front, slowed down. Apparently at the pier.

Before the coachman could ask, Romon's voice sounded directly from inside the carriage: We won't stop at the pier, keep moving forward, to our own naval base.

Okay, my lord. The driver heard the order and raised his whip. The carriage continued to rattle forward.

The other two carriages did not drive side by side with Romon's car, but kept a moderate distance and continued to follow.

The smell that belongs to the ocean has become stronger and stronger, and even the sound of waves hitting the rocks can be heard clearly. After a while, the carriage stopped: My lord, the place is here.

Are you there? With the curtain raised, the coachman hurriedly moved the small stool under the car, and Romon stepped down on the stool.

My lord, let's go there. Scholar Lulun and Nick also came over at this time.

Three people are walking. All the way to the place where the navy is stationed.

This is the naval base that Romon himself expanded, and it looks huge. The naval warships parked in the port are also lined up far away, and one can feel the momentum at a glance.

base at this time

Knowing that Romon and others were coming, Shakat and others who were in charge of the navy rushed to greet them.

Romon only said to check the situation of the navy, and then under the leadership of Shakat, he conducted a patrol. Although he was familiar with it before, this time it was a real comprehensive assessment.

Nick and Lu Lun accompanied them all the way, and halfway through, Lu Lun scholar excused something and left the team.

He looked around to see if there was no one around, and wandered to the place where the soldiers were stationed.

While walking, he checked the base.

At this moment, a sudden burst of discussion entered his ears.

During the discussion, Romon's name was occasionally mentioned a few times, which made the curious Lulun scholar walk over involuntarily. But in a shady place, several soldiers in navy uniforms were discussing the pirate's actions.

Scholar Lu Lun happened to be next to several big trees. He quickly walked behind a big tree, covered his body, and listened carefully to what they were talking about.

I heard one of the soldiers say: What do you know? Although the adults did create a lot of myths on land, the land is the land, the sea is the sea, and on the sea, if you don't pay attention, there will be some uncontrollable things. In the current situation, do you think it is easy for the navy to fight?

You can't say that, who is the lord? He is a famous genius. How do you know that Lord Romon can't create myths at sea? Moreover, in the last battle, the lord showed his talents. Another The two soldiers obviously believed in Romon's ability extremely, and they were anxious when they saw someone refute his opinion.

The man said earlier: That's just the Lord Lord's power as a druid. It has nothing to do with command. Moreover, the instructors from the Royal Navy don't trust the Lord Lord. They are experts! The soldier continued to refute. And these words obviously made the former soldier who supported Romon speechless.

Hearing this, Scholar Lulun had roughly understood what he wanted to know, left here quickly, found Romon and the others, and quickly returned to the team.

When they returned to the town, before they could take a breath, someone handed seven or eight letters into Romon's hands.

When Romon saw it, he shook his head and smiled wryly.

The contents of the letters were similar, they were all asking why he didn’t send troops as soon as possible. The people who wrote the letters included those nobles who suffered indirect or direct losses in this incident, as well as those nobles who did not suffer losses but felt threatened. Originally, he was dissatisfied with Romon's position as the commander of the navy. Seeing that the navy was still at the port again, they wrote letters to question him.

At this time, Scholar Lu Lun reported to Romon some of the situations he had discovered in the navy: My lord, this matter is very difficult. It is not necessary to send troops, or not to send troops. Fat meat is really not delicious. .”

Lu Lun looked worried: Also, these naval instructors don't agree with you, you have to deal with it.

However, his emotions did not infect Romon. On the contrary, in the face of this crisis, a kind of fighting spirit was ignited in Romon's heart.

In this case, then I will send troops. Don't they want to see my jokes? I want them to see that even in such a situation that is not good for me, I can still destroy the pirates. Only meritorious deeds can offset it. Question everything. Romon's voice gradually lowered, but his eyes brightened. It was a kind of radiance that only belonged to self-confident people: You don't need to worry about it, go to the city first and ask for my military expenses back, as soon as you want to come back, we will send troops!

He is not ignorant of the small actions of the naval instructors, and there is nothing he can do about it. Since he wants to learn from the regular officers of the navy, he will naturally be infiltrated and influenced.

But as he said, only winning is everything.

Faced with this, Lu Lun had no choice but to bow: Yes, my lord! (!)
