I Captivate the Player

Almost the vast majority of knights like to eat meat, drink alcohol, and have a big appetite. Knights who eat a lot will be considered better, because daily training and fighting will consume a lot of physical strength, and the conversion efficiency of the body of otherworldly people to energy is also low. Taller than Earthlings, gluttony is considered a virtue even by the fearless of the Glory Trinity.

Therefore, in the empire, the nobles would often hold banquets, such as wedding banquets, emperor coronation banquets, high priest appointment banquets, funerals, coming-of-age ceremonies, harvest days, festivals of honoring the three monarchs, the completion of symbolic buildings, and competitions. People throw parties, even just because they're bored!

Today, a banquet is being held in the castle. This day belongs to the God of Justice festival. According to legend, the God of Justice came to settle in the "Noah Continent" on this day.

In the mythology of the church, the three glorious monarchs are actually outsiders.

The servants lit the stove, Chen Ye and Gloria as guests sat at a higher table, while the second row was reserved for several of Chen Ye's knights and their dependents. All five knights came to the banquet, among them The two knights sitting closest to Chen Ye are Gade and Abuli.

Abuli was the knight who had brought the corpse of the white werewolf on tour under Chen Ye's order.

He is just thirty years old, has brown hair, and looks ordinary.

In Chen Ye's impression, Abuli has always been an honest person who abides by his duties, is rigorous and careful, but has the disadvantage of being a bit indecisive and strict with his wife.

Speaking of which, his wife's background is not young, and she seems to have a little relationship with Count Leo.

Just a little.

After washing their hands, everyone prayed to the Honored Three Sovereigns, and the banquet officially began.

Under Alisa's strict command, the servants lined up to deliver delicious food, bread, butter, baked apples, beef stew, fried venison, roast leg of lamb, salmon, cod, stew and stew in the cauldron Meat, a whole suckling pig, pate with custard, herring and minced meat...

This is complemented by a large selection of wine, cider, perry and fruit juices.

The bards were telling jokes and playing music that was unique to knights, while the knights and ladies were talking and laughing. Whether it was Samuel or Chen Ye, they had never held a party on a "non-statutory banquet day" in the past. After a banquet, today seems to be the first time he took the initiative to hold a banquet because of "boring".

Ladies are especially active, and the banquet is the time when they can best reflect their own value. Comparing with each other, contacting information, and even marriage will be decided at this moment.

The most active of all is Abuli's wife. Because of her blood relationship with the famous Earl Leo, she vaguely has a leading posture among noble women.

Chen Ye and the servants of the knights waited on them for dinner. In more formal occasions, the rank of the servants was higher than that of the maids. After all, their fathers were all knights or apprentice knights, and they might become formal knights in the future. .

In front of Chen Ye is a fruity panna cotta, which is rice cooked in chicken sauce and almond milk, boiled thick with sugar, and then added with almonds and fennel.

Chen Ye looked at this dessert, he remembered that Alisa liked to eat this, um, it would be better to say that she actually likes to eat any kind of sweets.

So, he did something without hesitation, but it shocked everyone except Gade.

"Alyssa, sit down."

The servants who served the food also gave a pause, and Alisa stopped moving.

Theoretically, the attendants are all children of knight families, they can serve the masters for meals, and they can also dine with the knights who are their relatives.

But Alisa, as a pure commoner, a maid, even a personal maid, she is not qualified to come here, let alone sit in the first row.

The knights only sat in the second row.

"Yes, my lord." Alisa walked over calmly.

Everyone except Gade was shocked. They watched Alisa walking in silence, unable to understand Chen Ye's actions, just like seeing someone suddenly dump a pile of dirt on the dining table.

Gade just smiled and watched everyone's reaction. He had expected that the northern nobles were especially old-fashioned. It's not that they are good or bad, but that this concept of hierarchy has long been engraved in people's bones.

Gloria looked at Alisa who was sitting next to her, and was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Samuel would be so independent and let a servant come to eat among the crowd.

Finding that everyone except Gade stopped to eat, Chen Ye just smiled and spread his hands.

"What's wrong with you guys, don't stop, the banquet is still going on."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

Even if it is a duke or an imperial prince, no matter how nice they are to a beautiful maid in private, they will not be so "bold" in formal occasions.

A master is a master, and a servant is a servant.

Although he is a foreign magician, this is too much.

Abuli's wife smiled reluctantly, and she gently persuaded Chen Ye in a tone that would not offend Chen Ye as much as possible: "Actually, Mr. Baron, you may not know that according to the tradition of our empire, servants are not allowed to come here for meals. "

"Then where do you think she should sit?" Chen Ye asked calmly.

"She..." Abuli's wife didn't speak, but turned to look at the door.

There, too, were many tables, where the servants sat crowded and ate and drank quietly, with chowder, black bread, a little butter, smelly cheese, cloudy ale, oatmeal, and just boiled pig Liver and lungs...

Chen Ye didn't answer after listening. He clasped his hands together, resting on his chin, and fell silent.

He seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be brewing anger.

Every mature speaker will use the technique of "silence" to manipulate the atmosphere.

Sure enough, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Alisa quietly ate a fruity panna cotta in a hamster pose.

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Ye's face, he stared at Abuli's wife and said: "So that's the case, but you may not know much about the tradition of magicians, now I want to explain to you... Tradition may be a good thing, but sometimes it's not that good."

"So for a magician, the tradition that he likes or doesn't care about is the tradition. As for the magician doesn't like..."

"It's dross." Chen Ye said calmly.

Having said that, I can't continue talking. Abuli's wife is not stupid, and she will not choose to hate Chen Ye.

In the end, everyone should eat and drink. There is no other way. In essence, Chen Ye is the local emperor in Andocher. Although they dare to speak ill of him behind his back, they must show face in front of him.

The female knight Gloria suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Ye, and asked seriously: "Master Baron, actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question. The orcs are about to invade here, why don't you leave?"
