Lord of terror

Just like my own child, I watched it every day, but I was not so sensitive to the child's growth. It was only when I looked back many years later that I suddenly realized that the child had grown up.On the contrary, if you don't see other people's children for a while, you can find that the children have grown up a lot.

When Kunz came to Mushroom Town last time, there were only a few mines and a few simple adobe brick houses in this place.Now here, it's like a normal community - about the style of the house, the designer asked the team leader.The captain also asked about the style of Zhonghuajia, so this place cannot be said to be a replica of Zhonghuajia community.The exterior of the house (if you don't look at the messy decorations made by the players themselves) is very in line with Scherfer's style, but every area can reflect the modern living aesthetics.

Buildings with higher floors need to be reinforced with steel bars. There is no steel bar here, but there is magic (J Butler's magic).Buildings built using building blocks currently have the highest ten-story building. After rough testing, the building is very stable and can withstand at least a magnitude five earthquake.

Along the way, they could see the flower trellis fences that had been set up but had not had time to plant climbing vines, exquisite gazebos, exquisite sculptures...

"Then, what is that barrel?" Anton was dazzled by the sight. This town is strange and strange, but it is also beautiful and full of surprises and novelties, so he couldn't help asking.

"garbage can."

"Why put the trash cans on the side of the road?"

"Provide people who come and go with a place to throw their trash."

"???" Anton looked at Kunz as if he was looking at a psychopath, "Why can't the garbage be thrown on the street?"

"Because the streets need to be kept tidy, throwing them on the street is against the rules and will be punished."

"!!!" Now he looked at Kunz as if he was looking at a tyrant, "It's just throwing rubbish on the ground..."

However, Kunz is the lord of Monrofi, and he has the right to do whatever he wants to his subjects.

"Not only for throwing garbage, but also for spitting." Kunz said with a smile.

"..." A knight who coughed and wanted to spit immediately choked up.

"You can spit in the trash, thanks."

"Ahem!" The knight hurriedly coughed up the phlegm and spat it into the trash can.

Walking forward, Anton and his horses naturally pulled all the way, and the accompanying servants immediately shoveled away the horse manure, and the road was still clean.

Anton was inexplicably ashamed—his horse couldn't control the excrement, but before today, when he was still in Kirke, his horse was just pulling it around casually.

When they finally stopped at the entrance of the town hall and Kunz motioned for them to enter, Anton's first reaction was to point to their carriage immediately: "The things in the carriage can be handed over now."

A knight standing beside the carriage immediately lifted the upper canvas, revealing the bacon leg and bags of flour underneath.

Anton stared closely at the servants standing around, expecting to see surprise or touch from their faces.But those people, including the horse dung picker just now, all looked calm without any fluctuations.

Anton wanted to rush up and grab these people and shout: Aren't you short of food?I have brought you food!food!

For the sake of his own face, he didn't do that kind of embarrassing thing.

The town hall has been set up, with a long table in the middle, Kunz sits at the head seat, and Viscount Kerke's family of three sits on his left.There is a slightly shorter long table on each side of the big long table. The knight on the left sits following Viscount Kirke, and the knight from Kunz sits on the right—but if you call all the knights from Kunz , that is equivalent to calling all players who have been promoted.Unless there is another snake mother, otherwise... I can't afford it, forget it.

"It's not convenient for me to call my knights." Kunz said honestly, even if the promoted players themselves don't know that they are Kunz's knights, Kunz can't deny them. This is also a rule, "Back Monroe, there will be a more formal banquet."

Anton nodded: "Of course. We are looking forward to that banquet."

Never said anything?The entourage is not eligible to sit down.They are not even entitled to leave the venue to eat at this time, they can only stand against the wall.

The dishes started to be served, and the rich aroma of meat began to spread in the air.

The servants brought a small straw basket, and in the basket was a roasted brown-red bird.The rules of the banquet, you must let your guests know what they are eating, and there is a long blue-green tail feather inserted next to the small basket.

"Is it an Andu bird? That's delicious." Anton complimented him politely, although the little bird couldn't even fill his teeth.He squinted at the small basket in the knights' hands, and shook his head at the knights.

Like the entourage standing against the wall, they were waiting for the leftovers of the knights.The knights were sitting at the bottom, but they should wait for the main table to finish eating and reward them with food.It is illegal for everyone to have one share at once like now.

But... it's just an Andu bird, it's all given to Anton, and it can't fit between his teeth, so there's no need to fight for this kind of thing.

Kunz smiled politely, tore off a bird's leg and ate it.The taste of this thing is very similar to that of quail, and the meat is delicate and tender.But it is bigger than quail and richer in oil. Last year, more than a dozen wild ando birds were officially raised for breeding, and the results are obviously good.

Anton raised the knife and easily cut open Andu's belly. The rich juice instantly splashed on his face, and what flowed out from Andu's belly was full of nuts and a small amount of spices.

"This is so delicious!" Dave started to eat right after Kunz took the first bite.The young man's eyes sparkled, "Baron Monroe, I have never had such delicious food!"

Anton was a little embarrassed, feeling that his son's compliment to the stingy little baron was a little too exaggerated.Baron Monrofi didn't even put much spice in the bird's belly.Cursing in his heart, Anton took a bite...

"!!!"ah!Gods!I saw the Kingdom of God!

After a whimpering sound, Anton "suddenly" found that his little basket was empty.

"Where's my bird? What about a bird as big as me?" Anton subconsciously thought it was him shouting. After all, it was his inner voice, but it was too shameful.

The good news is, it wasn't him who yelled.A knight was kicked on the leg of a chair by his companion and sat down on the ground.

The bad news is, the meal was literally over.Anton even started to eat nuts from the bird's stomach, which should not be eaten as a "condiment".But so delicious!Anton cherishes it very much, from a full spoon to a spoonful.

He regretted it, why did he think "it's just an Andu bird" just now?But the knights ate cleaner than he did, not even bones left in their baskets.

"Glad everyone enjoyed the appetizers."

appetizer?That's... what else?

Yes, of course there are.After all, this is the first time that Kunz entertained a certain official guest.So even if this meal is eaten in Mushroom Town, it is completely in accordance with etiquette.

Below is soup, bird egg mixed vegetable soup, next to the soup there is a broken egg shell and several bunches of vegetables.Seeing the vegetables made the guests slightly unhappy, but after the first sip, the unhappiness was thrown away completely.Because of the addition of mushroom monosodium glutamate and thickening with starch, the soup is thick and rich in flavor.The guests were drinking with their bowls. There are rules for serving food at the banquet, but there are no forks, and there are no restrictions on the dining etiquette of Sherfer humans.It can be cut with a knife, scooped with a spoon, grasped and gnawed, or picked up and poured.

Roasted deer ribs were served on an oversized platter, flanked by a gigantic stag head.Judging from the portion on the table, it was much larger than a normal deer, perhaps even larger than Anton's horse, and it was clearly a demonized creature.

"This is really rich!" Anton didn't often eat demonized creatures, he couldn't fly, and tracking demonized creatures was not an easy task.

Anton was gnawing on the deer ribs and saw another deer ribs being brought up. He was thinking about how to make room for the main table, and this deer ribs were put on the knights' table.

Anton froze for a moment, but since Andu Bird didn't speak, there was no need for the deer ribs to speak.Anton nodded to the knights looking over again, and the knights immediately began to eat happily.

Very good, after all, this kind of good thing is also the Viscount of Kirk...

Anton froze for a moment: Well, didn't I come to rescue the Barony of Monroe?Why do you have a long-lost meal here?Instead, we feel like rednecks ourselves.The deer ribs were delicious!

Before the deer ribs were finished, smoked rabbit meat was added. Not to mention the taste of the seasoning, the quality of the meat itself was excellent, and the aftertaste was sweet after eating.

The Viscountess liked rabbit meat more. After tasting a rabbit leg, she grabbed a whole rabbit with both hands and started to eat it—the rabbit was not small, and it was obviously an honest cook.

While everyone was engrossed in eating, a dish of vinegar mixed vegetables and cheese pie was quietly served.

Anton showed a disapproving expression at the vinegar mixed vegetables, but the palm-sized cheese pie disappeared in his mouth in just one bite.The crispy crust, the rich and sweet cheese filling... Anton couldn't help but let out a weird groan.

The staple food is almost eaten, and the dessert is on the scene-jam meringue tart.

Picking up the egg tart and taking only one bite, the Viscountess Martha Kerke actually cried.She was very excited, which is understandable. People who have been eating shit all their lives suddenly tasted the most delicious food that suits their tastes. The gap between hell and heaven brought too much shock.

"Gods, gods... this must be the miracle of the Fat Duke!"

"No, this is made by my chef, it has nothing to do with God." Kunz said immediately, maybe this is a bit rude?After all, this is also a kind of praise, but Kunz doesn't want the achievements made by his own people, and the glory is given to God who didn't do anything.

——The Fat Duke is the god of food, but obviously the nobles also admire food, but his position is very low. He is just a servant god of the Grape Duke, which can also be called a servant god, not even a servant god.

The Viscountess, who was praying passionately to God, was suddenly interrupted. With tears still on her face, she felt embarrassed and unhappy: "Your chef must have accepted the divine power of the Fat Duke..."

"No, please don't rush to put the credit on God's head. If God really did something, but my chef denied it, do you think He can continue to cook for me in peace? This has nothing to do with God. The most important things are achieved by us mortals through our own efforts and intelligence."

"..." Kunz said mortals in a general way, and even praised the Viscountess and his wife, but the Viscountess just felt very uncomfortable, and there was a feeling that they were talking bad things about God, and even her mouth made her feel God. The delicious Chinese food suddenly became less delicious.

She threw the half-eaten egg tart back on the plate.

Kunz, who kept a gentle smile, twitched his eyebrows. Who is this half-eaten food for?Fortunately, it can be used to feed livestock, which is too wasteful.

In the end, of course, there were drinks. The movement of the servants bringing the drinks broke the awkward atmosphere.

The previous food made Anton have strong expectations for the drink-what kind of wine will it be?

The result is heated giant rat milk.

"..." Anton didn't even have the urge to grab the cup, "I think we're past the age of drinking milk, Baron Monroe."

People who are treated well are easy to be favored and arrogant.

"There is currently no wine in Monroe, and the vineyards will only be replanted this year. We have no hops, and we can't brew beer." Kunz took a sip of giant rat milk, which he hadn't drank for a long time.

Although the giant rat milk is no longer provided to the Geluglu people for free after they have jobs.But both the Geluglus and the goblins have lactating women, and they also have milk shortages caused by nutritional problems, so the giant mouse milk is still given priority to families with babies, and even Kunz has to be ranked behind, Captain It has been a long time since I have eaten sweets with fresh milk and dairy products as ingredients.

"Meng Luofei is really difficult... Hiccup!" Just as he was about to sigh, Anton hiccupped, and he quickly covered his mouth, "I'm sorry."

Kunz smiled: "I'm glad you ate well."

The greasy smell of venison in his hands suddenly became very obvious. Anton put down his hands, looked at the bones of deer and rabbits in front of him, and felt a little hot on his face—the deer ribs at the main table were served three more times, and the knight The deer ribs on the table were also served twice.However, there are more bones in front of Baron Monroe than he has here, which is also a matter of course. The other party's innate ability is much higher than his, and he can even fly under the suppression of his territory rules.

But he ate more, but he was still very clean, the meat and bones were cleaner, and so was he himself.There was no trace of oil on the face, or even on the lips, and the light shining on the golden leather armor was the inherent luster of that high-grade fur.

But Anton looked at himself, his knights, his son, his wife...

This seemed to be a normal thing at first. When he attended other noble gatherings, everyone looked like this.When eating and drinking happily, they will hold the wine glass in one hand and the barbecue in the other, jump on the table and sing and dance. If someone "performs" with the servants on the spot, everyone will be very happy to cheer on the side.

But now, the delicious food made him feel a little heavy on his appetite.

"At night... can't we eat like this?" Just this meal today is almost worth half... no, one-third of the value of the items he sent.

"Yes, you can't eat like this at night."

Anton breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

"At night, after all, you are going to sleep, and it is suitable to eat some light food. Do you have any special desire to eat? No? Then follow our usual practice and eat meat-filled bread or pie. There are venison and fish. , wild boar, rabbit, lamb, beef... Do you have a favorite meat? Venison, pork and beef? That's fine. Dessert is nuts wrapped in cheese and honey. Can you two have mushrooms? Yes? How about cream of mushroom soup?"

Bread stuffed with meat is actually buns, but bread is easier to understand.The fish was obtained by Kunz from the dark swamp. Neither the cattle nor the sheep were domesticated animals.

The smile on Anton's face was almost unbearable. It was obvious that Meng Luofei was not short of food.

"It seems that you are already very tired. The servant will take you to the guest room. I will not disturb your rest. I will see you at dinner." Kunz walked away with a smile, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he reached a place where no one was there.

Thinking about it, of course I have to come back in the afternoon and continue to have dinner with me. Kunz has a big head, but this is the duty of the lord.

There will be more people to face in the future, and Kunz, who floated out of the window, fell a bit, because his head sank even more.

"Captain—!" He wanted to go to the captain to comfort him, but where is the captain?

Kunz quickly flew back to Monroe, from the town hall, to the bedroom of the castle, and even the north tower that had been evacuated.He didn't find it, so he went to Selfie, and looked around the canal site as fast as he could, but he still couldn't find it.

[Butler J, where's the captain? 】

[Shortly after you went to pick up Viscount Kirke's family today, he flew out of the baronship.I didn't mean not to tell you, why didn't you ask me? 】

【…】

The captain not only left the Barony of Monroe, he also did not leave a message to anyone, this is the first time this kind of thing happened...

Who, or what, made him just go?

The guest room arranged for the three Viscounts was originally a low-rent house attached to the town hall.However, it was urgently remodeled and some furniture was replaced.Floors were laid, curtains and furnishings added.

When arranging it, Kunz was very natural, but now watching the viscount and his knights being taken away by the servants, Kunz felt the deeper content of this matter.Meng Luofei is about to step onto the stage. Officials need guest houses for arranging guests, and folks also need high-end hotels, mid-to-low-end hotels, and business stores that specialize in serving businessmen.

He should have thought of that when he faced the peasant woman that day, but the peasant woman mixed with the slaves and lived with the slaves, so she didn't need those facilities.At that time, I thought that there would be people from the Law Master, but when the time comes, whichever building they like, let them pay the rent and live in it.

Maybe the captain and Wan Dian thought so too?In the case of other imminent things one after another, the matter of accommodation for foreigners is really inconspicuous at present, so they all ignore it.

Kunz wrote down this incident again in his little notebook in his heart.

Anton walked out of the town hall with a bad complexion. The meal just now was sumptuous, but he felt that he had been neglected, his face was severely scorned, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Isn't our house in the castle?" Anton whispered.

Dave was constantly licking his lips and reminiscing about the delicious food just now, when his father's words caught him off guard, and he retorted subconsciously: "Uh...Father, this is not Monroe Fei, this is just Mushroom Town, without a castle."

Anton ignored his son, as if he didn't hear what Dave said, just ignored him and walked past him.Dave held out his hand: "Father..."

His hand was pulled down by his mother, and Martha shook her head slightly at her son.

Dave didn't quite understand, but his mother always told him to do the right thing.Raimondo bent over, taking in everything.

"I hope you can get a full rest here." Raimondo pushed open the fence gate of the courtyard, and Anton walked in. Looking at the green grass and blooming flowers, his pupils contracted.

"Is there green here so early?"

Raimondo couldn't help but glanced at Dave: Son, you really step on your father's pain point every time.

At this time, of course, it is not the time when the earth returns to spring, and at most some branches start to grow extremely small buds, but the grass here has grown vigorously enough, let alone blooming flowers, this is not a force of nature, it is magic , which means that Meng Luofei has a transcendent who manipulates nature, and this transcendent is still willing to stay in Meng Luofei and obey the orders of the lord.

——This kind of transcendent, even if the ability is low, but there are countless big forces vying for it.Although nobles don't like to eat vegetables, and some extreme people even regard eating vegetables as a shame.But they don't discriminate against fruits, and out-of-season fruits are the favorite of nobles.As for putting flowers in the room, it is an excellent embodiment of power, status and wealth.

Entering the small courtyard, another servant came and took their horses away, and half of the knights and followers left with them. It is an important task to arrange the horses.

After walking through a short path, everyone came to the door of the building, and they found that the windows were installed with real glass.

Only Tarian City sells glass nearby, but large pieces of window glass are expensive, and it is almost impossible to transport the glass from Tarian City all the way to his castle.

"Is that ice?" Dave asked strangely, "Why did you install ice on the windows? Is it still so thin?"

As the eldest son of the viscount and the future heir to the title, Dave has never even seen glass.

"That's glass, sir."

"Is that glass? It looks so nice."
