The knight in the abyss

Chapter 777 The Baroness
"The Baroness?" Lancelot raised half of his eyebrows, "Is there anything she wants from us?"

"Mrs. Endiari has recently obtained clues to an ancient temple, which may contain the secret to lift the curse here. She hopes to recruit some capable mercenaries to investigate, and you seem to be suitable candidates." The man again She smiled, "The baroness has always been very generous in terms of remuneration, and the special dishes prepared by the kitchen will definitely not disappoint you..."

"An ancient temple?" Lancelot turned his head and exchanged glances with his companions, "What kind?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about it." The hotel manager showed his professional smile again, "Let's talk to Madam about the details."

"Brother..." Brutal whispered to Lancelot, "Tanya seems to have mentioned it before..."

"If we go, do we have to accept the Baroness's contract?"

"Of course not. You have every right to decide whether you want to accept this job. Even if you refuse, the Baroness will be very happy to meet some new friends."

"Then please lead the way." Lancelow nodded, "I'm getting more and more curious about this lady."

Under the guidance of the gray-haired Keke Flor, everyone first went down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, passed through the bar, back kitchen and warehouse in turn, and went up to the second floor again through a rather hidden step.As the man pushed open a heavy door carved with intricate patterns, everyone entered a room with a crystal chandelier and a bearskin carpet.

The area here is slightly smaller than the room they rented, but it is enough to fit a large long table.The table was covered with a crimson tablecloth, and on it was already set cutlery, cutlery, silver candlesticks, and decorative vases.Two female humans whose actual age was unknown were waiting at the table. Their expressions were numb, as if they had lost all enthusiasm for life. Lancelow was very sure that the baroness who invited him and his companions to dinner must not be them any of the .

"Please take your seats first, Madam will be here soon." Cork gestured to the two maids, and one of them immediately turned and walked to the depths of the room, where there was a secret door; while the other opened There was a trap window on the wall, and I reached out and pulled a rope behind the window, and a crisp bell sounded immediately below.

Everyone took their seats on both sides of the long table. Lancelow sat closest to the main seat, Karaline sat next to him, and the handsome elf priest was opposite him.Just after they sat down, the basket containing the dishes also appeared behind the trap window, and was brought to everyone by Cork and the maid.

"Tonight's first dish, braised octopus silk and snail vegetable tower in the cemetery. The octopus silk is soaked in warm oil at [-] degrees overnight, then taken out, and then fried with five-year-old top-grade sweet vinegar, the taste is wonderful and unique and the snails are produced in the cemetery of Burger Village, which is a local iconic ingredient, boiled with diced green onion, butter, red wine and walnut shells, and has a long aftertaste.” The butler introduced in a proud tone, “These two It seems that the ingredients that don't match at all are combined together, but they collide with amazing deliciousness, and the lemon carrot and shallot soup will definitely whet your appetite."

Lancelow sniffed lightly, and he didn't feel anything wrong with his spiritual sense, which meant that there would be no danger in eating this dish.Although the ingredients and methods described by Kok are very suspicious to ordinary people, for the partners who have been adventuring in the abyss all year round, this dish is better than roasted wild boar hind legs and deep-fried giant space hamsters with tears Sauce, spicy mosquito bat wing shreds are much better, and it smells very tempting indeed.

"Aha, then I'll be more polite!"

Brutal grabbed the fork, but Barend kicked his son hard under the table and said in a low voice:
"Brat, put down the fork! The master hasn't come yet!"

"Uh..." Although quite reluctant, the young dwarf complied, "Well, do you have any wine?"

"Please taste this soup first." Cork's face pulled down immediately, "The wine will be served with the main course later."

At this moment, Lancelot's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the secret door where another maid disappeared.Before any figure appeared, he first smelled a perfume mixed with amber, musk and sandalwood. the stench.

Of course, in this restaurant full of various smells, only Lancelot, who is a monk in the foundation period, can smell that smell.

A lady in a dark red dress appeared behind the door, and everyone stood up from their chairs to salute her.The person who came was a beautiful human woman, her coiled hair was dyed purple, she was wearing a long dark red tube top evening dress, her skin exposed to the air was like solidified suet White, especially crystal clear under the candlelight.

"Distinguished guests." Kirk Froll straightened his back and said in a very formal tone, "Barononess, Gisele Ndiari."

Although she looked very young, Lancelot knew that the actual age of the lady in front of him definitely did not match her appearance.

"Good evening, Sir Lancelot." The visitor walked up to the human knight with swaying steps, and at the same time extended his right hand to him, "Welcome to the wolf king's lair. Are you satisfied with this place?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Endiari." Lancelot held up the other's palm, slightly lowered his head to kiss the other's ring—of course he didn't actually touch it, "I am happy to serve you. We are very happy here Satisfied, Mr. Froll's service is especially thoughtful."

"Ah, how long has it been since I last saw a polite nobleman?" The baroness sounded a little hoarse, and she glanced at the still clean plates in front of everyone, "Sit down, please don't be polite .”

After speaking, she took the lead and sat down, and immediately picked up a fork to fork a small piece of snail meat.Seeing this, other people also started to move, and the sound of knives and forks colliding with plates rang out everywhere, along with everyone's admiration for the food - the octopus tendons taste slightly sour, smooth and chewy to the bite, and the snails have a rich flavor. The aroma is very soft and glutinous, and it tastes like a ball of butter melts in the mouth.

"So, Mrs. Endiari..." Although it was indeed delicious, Lancelot stopped to talk to the hostess, "I heard that you are recruiting people to investigate an ancient temple. Can you tell us more about it? What about the situation?"

"Just call me Giselle." The baroness glanced at him, scooped up a spoonful of soup to clean her mouth, "Before that, I want to ask, how long have you been in this country? Do you know the situation here? How many?"
