Fairy’s Box

When Yale got the Blade of Time, and Luya went to Solomon's Temple, it could be said that everyone was very happy.

In order to celebrate the victory of the two and consolidate their friendship, the female knight not only hosted a banquet, but also specially selected a few rooms from the first temple to house everyone, so that they can enjoy themselves in this supreme hall.

Yale was originally going to leave after eating, but thinking that the Hebrews had occupied the Blade of Time for so many years, he must have figured out a lot of ways that he might be able to use it, so he planned to stay here and build a perfect body.

Moreover, the black-haired knight is also very curious about the production method of the saints. With a little effort, he may be able to squeeze more things out of them.

As the general manager of the Canaan region, Luya is also extremely generous, and the city lord's mansion where the banquet is set cannot fit. Most of the square in front of the hall must be occupied, and tents built in the open air stretch from side to side, making it look like a military camp.

The large and small wealthy families, religious leaders, civil and military officials in the entire city of Shechem, all those who could be named, all received invitations.

After seeing the luxurious lineup of guests, Yale finally understood that Luya was entertaining them, she was clearly showing off her strength to them, and by the way, she dragged herself to support her.

At the banquet, the female knight smiled like a flower, and seemed to be very energetic, constantly promoting the war records of the Celtic Governor's Palace over the years to the guests. And pretending to reveal the secret agreement between Shechem City and the Governor's Palace, economic and military assistance, special support regulations, etc., these salted fish natives were stunned for a while.

But aside from the political overtones, the delicacies with the characteristics of Shechem City on the table are still very good.

The customs here are very different from those in the north, and even the way of washing hands before meals is very different.

Before eating, the servant carried a pitcher with a mouth, poured water on the hands of the person who was going to wash his hands, and placed a basin for the water below. If you eat indoors, you also need to wash your feet, but there are too many people at this banquet, and few people have this kind of treatment.

The staple food in Canaan is basically olives, figs, dates, pomegranates, wheat, barley and grapes, so the types of food at this feast are roughly the same.

The appetizer is a plate of milky white hummus sauce per person.

It's a healthy and delicious treat made of hummus mixed with a tahini sauce that is unique here, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. The sesame paste is made from ground white sesame seeds, plus minced parsley and lemon juice, so it is white, slightly sour and rich in aroma, slightly sour in taste, and very appetizing.

But compared to this, Yale prefers the beef strips and chicken **** here.

The Hebrew-style beef strips have a firm taste, and various spices exude their own aromas. They are mixed with the unique burnt aroma after being grilled on charcoal fire. The taste is quite good.

The large pieces of chicken breast are marinated and delicious, and then grilled directly on the fire. The appearance is golden and appealing. The chicken is grilled properly and the gravy is still locked in the meat, so it doesn't need much sauce. Compared with beef, the taste is lighter, and the aroma of charcoal fire is more intense.

However, the black-haired knight likes these two dishes, which is entirely his personal taste and hobby. It does not mean that these two dishes are the most delicious or have the most local characteristics.

In the classics of the Three Religions, the city of Shechem has always been a "land flowing with milk and honey", so delicious desserts are the local characteristics.

There are three kinds of desserts that are most popular with the Governor's House bosses;

One is the baked puff pastry, which has a creamy filling after being cut, and tastes a bit like an egg tart.

One is falafel balls, filled with hummus and salad, and finished with a delicious tahini dressing, a local favorite.

One is the sandwiched sesame cake, with a browned and crispy skin, minced pulp, and a secret-made red sauce. The sweetness is a little sour, and it is very refreshing.

In addition to the first time, there are two types of humble side dishes worth mentioning.

One is the date palm. The Canaan region is rich in dates. The climate of arid, little rain and large temperature difference between day and night makes the dates here have a very high sugar content. As long as they are dried a little, they will become like candied dates. This semi-dehydrated date is soft and sweet. Excellent.

There is also rice. The locals usually make it medium-cooked, and then fry it with olive oil. The color is golden and the taste is relatively hard. After tasting it, Yale always felt that there was something wrong with the taste.

At the banquet, not only the food is very rich, but the music, singing and dancing are also uninterrupted for them to enjoy.

It's just that after tasting a few mouthfuls of his favorite dishes, Yale's mind was not on the banquet. To him, those graceful dance girls and singers were nothing but glass that shattered at the touch of a touch, unattractive.

After finally making it to the female knight's announcement, he politely left, and immediately returned to the residence that Luya had arranged for him, ready to devote himself to studying the mystery of the Sands of Time.

By the way, I took a chance to see the Tree of Kabbalah on the slate. The unique and mysterious structure of the tree of life always gave the black-haired knight a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

...

When I came to the first temple, I just entered the inner hall, and the Hebrew maids saluted and gathered around. Yale knew that this was to change his clothes and perform a religious ceremony, which was also the rule for entering the temple.

Since the Hebrews have already made a fully tame gesture, the black-haired knight is not good at ignoring them at the moment. He walked into the dressing room with this group of people, just opened his arms and waited for the girls to get busy in an orderly manner.

The two maids took off his clothes for Aleigh, the two maids took off his shoes and socks, one maid tidied his hair, and the other maid wiped Ale's body with a wet towel. The other two anointing maids took olive oil mixed with essence and smeared the whole body of the black-haired knight.

These olive oils are warmed in hot water before use, and the temperature is exactly the same as body temperature, without giving any discomfort.

Olive oil has the status of holy oil in many religions in the south. They believe that it is pure and flawless, and it can wash the body and mind and sublimate the soul. The maids smeared it on Yale's skin, making his toned body look like a metal sculpture radiating radiance. It really felt like a wash and purification.

These olive oils added with spices and refreshing drugs penetrated into the black-haired knight's body from the skin, making him feel numb and numb, and very comfortable. He continued to maintain the spirit of the realm of human and divine unity, and was also relaxed.

Originally, after the dressing and cleansing, it was necessary to enter the prayer room to pray, but most of the high-level Hebrews also knew what people at the level of Yale thought about Yahweh, so the ceremony was interrupted at this point.

...

When he came to the room that Luya specially arranged for him, the black-haired knight found that on his couch, there were more than a dozen pretty girls in veils. The taste is a pick for him.

Yale knew that Luya would not arrange this kind of service for herself, presumably because the Hebrews had nothing to do, so she only gave them a simple and clear instruction:

"go out."

"..."

Where did the girls dare to disobey him, they immediately put away their amorous feelings and filed out with their heads lowered,

After driving away his bedmates who provided him with warm clothes, the black-haired knight was still worried about the Hebrews, so he summoned his subordinates and asked them to take turns guarding the door. Then he closed the door and pulled the bolts and sat on the floor with peace of mind. Take out the blade of time.
