I, the refined goblin, loaded the ultimate training system

Betty was a little surprised and turned around and wanted to continue to be angry, but when she saw that the person standing next to her was Luka after putting on makeup, her anger immediately disappeared.

"We'll just listen to you and eat later. I'm sorry, everyone~"

After watching Luka quietly make a finished gesture with his right hand, Betty immediately changed her attitude, saluted to the eldest son of the Duke and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing such a sudden change, everyone else present was stunned - why did this silver-haired girl who was still losing her temper just now suddenly change her temper?

Chapter 70 The Banquet Begins

Damn, how can I explain you running away like this!

Luka, standing in the center of the crowd, looked embarrassed at the moment, feeling the eyes of the people around him looking at him and not knowing what to say.

Especially the eldest son of the Duke, the look in his eyes clearly suggested that he was the one who came to cause trouble with Betty, although it seemed that he actually asked Betty to cause trouble...

Mainly because the silver-haired loli was causing trouble here before and refused to listen to anyone else's advice. As a result, Luka sent her away with just one word after arriving. It really looked like they were working together to cause trouble.

"Your Excellency, you are really eloquent, or do you know that lady?" The eldest son of the Duke, who felt that he had been tricked, stared at Luka, as if he was ready for his subordinates to kick him out directly. .

Faced with this situation, Luka had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.

"Ah, well, actually, she is the younger sister of the family. She has been spoiled since she was a child. Except for me, the elder brother, no one can persuade her to touch her.'"

Luka rubbed his head in embarrassment and explained, looking serious.

"Really, but I still want to take the liberty to ask, which family are you a member of? It seems that I have never met you?" The eldest son of the Duke stared at Luca and continued to ask, not wanting to let him go easily.

It’s broken, how to explain this...

Listening to the other party's questions, Luka felt a headache and didn't know how to answer.

Originally, he used a fake identity and makeup to sneak in to attend the dinner this time. Now that he was surrounded by so many people, it was not possible to fool him by simply saying that he was "Viscount Lowtherby" like before.

Based on the social circle of these noble children present, they probably have contact with all the nobles in the kingdom, so it is too difficult to deceive them.

Seeing that Luka hesitated for a long time without replying, the eldest son of the Duke became more and more suspicious. He now seriously suspected that Luka was here to cause trouble, and even the Golden Lion Medal representing the royal family on his chest was a forgery.

But just when the eldest son of the Duke waved his hand and was about to catch Luca, a lazy voice came from behind him.

"What are you doing, Lukar? Running around as my bodyguard is not a sign of competence~"

Following a commotion from the crowd, Naledo slowly walked out of the house and waved to say hello to Luka.

My aunt, you can be of some help!

Seeing his boss coming, Luka suddenly felt relieved, and then immediately ran to Naledo's side and began to apologize.

"Sorry, Your Highness, my sister just caused a little trouble here, so I tried to persuade her."

"I know, I know, hurry in." Naledo said haha, his eyes indicating to Luka to go in directly, and leave the explanation to her.

"Okay, Your Highness." After hearing this, Luka immediately walked into the hall as requested, and he escaped.

"Your Highness, who was that just now?" The eldest son of the Duke looked at Luca who ran into the house. He still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it directly in front of Naledo.

Although he had no intention of seeking refuge with the highly favored third prince, he did not want to offend him at all.

"It's just a new guard of mine. It's normal that you don't know me. It's time for the dinner. You are the protagonist tonight. Don't delay the business." Naledo said nonchalantly, and then turned back to the house. .

The eldest son of the Duke was helpless when he saw this. He was relieved when he thought that Betty just ate more food. Even if Luca and she really came to cause trouble, could they just eat a little food and make their own family poor?So he also took people away to prepare for the next dinner.

Luka was looking forward to the aristocratic dinner party at first. After all, he had never participated in this kind of upper-class social interaction in his previous life, so it was good to treat it as something new.

However, when he actually took his seat, he realized that this seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought.

Before the banquet could even begin, hundreds of guests, large and small, started making noises, and the reason for their argument was a very simple matter - fighting for seats.

Since the participants were all juniors from various families, and the dinner was largely private, the seats for everyone had not been arranged in advance.

As a result, the ladies in the venue started to argue over the seats they liked. One said that the Marquis of his family was a head above the other, and the other said in turn that he was the legitimate son and should sit on it... Anyway, no one was convinced by the other.

Coupled with the grievances of the major families and the mutual love and hatred among the young people, the whole hall soon became a mess, and the chaos did not show the so-called "aristocratic elegance" at all.

Luka and others were quite lucky. Since they all wore the Golden Lion Medal representing the royal family, they could sit directly next to Naledo - no one dared to take the seat of His Royal Highness.

During this period, many people came over to chat - these minor nobles or commoner nobles did not dare to greet the third prince directly, so they could only engage in "nepotism" from Luka and others.

To this group of people, Luka smiled and chatted casually out of politeness, while Yilin and others simply ignored them.

The most ruthless person was Betty. As soon as she entered the hall, she ran to the corner where the snacks were placed with gleaming eyes and started to make crazy things again.

Seeing her gobbling down food, Luka could only silently hope that all the guests at the venue would not be hungry tonight because of her.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?"

Just when Luka was bored, a charming and familiar female voice came to his ears, followed by a refreshing floral fragrance.

Thinking of something, Luka suddenly turned his head and saw Tyanna standing behind him with a smile. Then he pointed to the seat next to him, which made his meaning very obvious.

"This...of course."

Luka hesitated for a moment, glanced at the silver-haired Loli who was still making snacks in the distance, and then answered with a smile.

Originally, this position was reserved for Betty, but now that we want to attack this "rose that can never be forgotten," we can only wrong her first.

Luka still has a lot of experience in making the little bear happy. There is basically nothing that a plate of dried fish cannot solve. If so, just add lollipops overnight and she will stop making trouble.

Chapter 71 Food

"Thank you..."

Tiana smiled lightly when she heard this, then sat directly next to Luka, and then leaned her whole body towards Luka's shoulder, but did not touch it directly, maintaining a just right, close yet far away scale.

"Hmm... I feel like this guy will be a formidable enemy."

Elufa next to her couldn't help but frowned slightly when she saw this scene. Although she knew that Luka had a reason to approach Tyana, she must have been a little unhappy in her heart. Besides, the other party seemed to be a social butterfly who was very good at seducing men. .

"It's impossible..."

Next to her, Yilin stirred the wine in the glass with a spoon while secretly glancing at Luka's position.

After more than a month of "re-education", her whole body and mind have been corrected by Luka, and she is full of regret and guilt for her past actions.

"Okay, okay, you two, have more confidence in my dear, he will definitely be fine."

Compared to the two people who were worried, Wei Yin had an indifferent look on her face. She suddenly hugged Elfa from behind and started teasing her with her hands, regardless of the other's struggle.

"Stop, there are many people here, what should I do if I am seen!"

"What does it matter? I'll be careful. Besides, little Elufa, doesn't she always feel that her breasts are too small? I'm here to help you."

……

Luka did not notice the actions of Elufa and the others next to him. At this moment, he was thinking in his mind about how to further lower the vigilance of the red-haired beauty next to him, thereby creating conditions for the implementation of the subsequent plan.

The chaos caused by the seating issue did not last long. With the entry of the Duke's eldest son, the originally noisy banquet hall gradually became quiet.

After a tacky but short opening speech, the waiters began to enter with food, announcing the start of the banquet.

The financial resources of the Duke's family did not disappoint Luka. The first round of appetizers served by the waiters was the frosted fish yusheng, which was topped with sauce and then sliced.

This kind of fish that can only be caught under the ice in the northern part of the mainland is very special. It tastes closer to beef than ordinary fish, but it is more tender and has a special cool feeling.

And since it is a sea fish, there is no need to worry about parasites. The only disadvantage is the high price due to long transportation distance and perishability. One fish costs seven or eight gold coins. Usually Luka himself is reluctant to eat more. The most I can do is give Betty two to satisfy her cravings.

Luka picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. The smooth yet chewy texture of the fish fillet coupled with the light coolness made it extremely comfortable, making him close his eyes and taste it.

The meat quality is better than what I bought before, but it's a pity that the sauce is a bit less interesting. It would be better if there was soy sauce.

"You seem to be very interested in food?"

Tai Anna next to her saw Luka closing her eyes and tasting the fish fillet with an expression of enjoyment, and couldn't help but ask softly.

"Of course. Appetite is a human's innate desire. There are enough unpleasant things in life. Why not enjoy it more when you can enjoy it."

Luka said calmly, and was about to ask the waiter to get him another plate, but he happened to see them looking at each other with expressions on their faces. Zhang Tao’s right side

Looking at this situation, Betty is probably going to reserve the fish fillet tonight...

Faced with this situation, Luka was too embarrassed to say anything. After all, Betty was now his "sister", so this way of eating was really a little embarrassing.

Forget it, let her go. Anyway, the embarrassing people are "Lucar" and Naledo. It's none of my business, Luca.

Thinking of this, Luka silently turned his head and pretended not to see anything, and began to wait quietly for the next dish to be served.

The next dishes are vegetable soup with no specific ingredients and several different kinds of bread. Everyone can order according to their own needs.

Luka took a few simple tastes and could only say that it felt quite satisfactory. The ingredients themselves tasted good, but the seasoning was indeed a bit off.

But this is understandable. Since the kingdom is located in the east-central corner of the continent, there are very few ways to obtain spices. Even the dinner organized by the Duke's family is difficult to use a large amount of spices.

"Speaking of Miss Taianna, your Chamber of Commerce seems to have a spice business, right?"

Luka asked questions while drinking vegetable soup.

"It's a little bit, but this area of ​​business is not easy to do. I'm not afraid to say it. The main reason is that I can't get the supply of elves. Although I have tried many methods and found a lot of people, there is still no one. Progress." Tyana sighed after hearing this and answered very directly.

"That is indeed difficult to do." Luka nodded after hearing this.

In this world, although there are some places with good natural spices, the ones with the best, highest quality and large supply are still the elves.

Relying on superb natural magic and a large number of druids, they can forcefully plant spices regardless of their original planting environment, and they continue to use magic to improve seeds and increase yields, basically monopolizing upwards of [-]% of the spice supply. If If you can't get their goods, the spice business will definitely not be able to grow.

"I have looked for many people but to no avail. That means I haven't found the right person."

Luka's eyes flashed and he thought of something, and he whispered mysteriously.

This sentence instantly caught Tiana's attention, and she directly placed her thigh next to Luka, and then asked in a charming voice.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that we should look for you?"

"That's not true, but I know someone who can help you solve this problem. It's just not convenient to talk now. Let's talk about it when we meet before."

Luka quickly stopped the topic after seeing that he had successfully aroused Tiana's appetite.

He does know someone who can help Tai Anna solve the supply problem, but the other person still has a little friction with him, so he needs to deal with it first.

It happened to be at this time that the main course of the banquet was finally served.

What Luka didn't expect was that the Duke's family really spent a lot of money on this dinner, and the final main course was actually several roasted flying dragons.

Although it is a sub-dragon species, the size of the bipedal wyvern is not small anymore. The larger ones can reach eight or nine meters in length. Their strength after adulthood can directly reach the middle level or even high level. They are usually captured as It is rare for a mount to be tamed and eaten.

Chapter 72 Little Bear Attacks

"It's actually this... Your Excellency, you'd better be careful when you eat it later." After seeing that the roasted wyvern was the main dish, Tyanna showed a somewhat hesitant expression on her face.

"Why is this?" Luka had just asked the waiter to cut a large piece of breast meat for him and prepare it for eating. He couldn't help but stop after hearing this.

"The meat of a wyvern is difficult to cook. The flesh of this kind of monster is resistant to high temperatures and contains a large amount of highly corrosive acid. If the chef's skills are not good, not only will the quality of the meat be very bad, but it may even be bad when eaten. He was injured because the acid was not disposed of properly.”

Tyana leaned into Luka's ear and whispered an explanation.

"If you want to eat it, it would be better to choose wings or leg meat."

so...

Luka looked at the flying dragon that was roasted until it was sizzling with oil. Although he felt that the Duke's family would not cause problems for the guests, he still followed Tyanna's advice and only ordered a piece of leg meat.

A few minutes later, looking at some guests falling down one after another in the venue, Luka breathed a sigh of relief, and then silently pushed his plate with a large piece of flying dragon meat to the side.

And Tyanna shook her head gently.

"I told you, it's easy to have problems cooking this kind of meat."

"Then why do you still have to serve this thing as the main course?"

Luka recalled the feeling when he was cutting meat. It didn't feel like he was cutting meat with a knife, but like cutting tires. His hands were almost sore, but there was still no opening in the meat.

As for the taste, although Luka didn't eat it himself, after seeing Betty next to him bite it and then spit it out in disgust, he understood that the taste of this thing was probably not acceptable to humans.

If you don't eat this kind of meat in spite of the good beef and mutton, it can only be said that the nobles usually eat too much, so they have to get something outrageous to change their taste. If they have such spare money, it is better to burn it to keep warm or fetch water for fun.

"Because this is a special ceremony, I don't know why some people like to make false claims that legendary heroes will roast and eat the dragon after defeating it. In fact, this behavior is a complete waste of precious materials." Tyanna said quietly, Obviously he doesn't understand this confusing behavior. "

"But some nobles believe this rumor. Even if it has no actual effect and is unpalatable, they still eat dragons to prove their bravery. If they can't eat giant dragons, they eat sub-dragons..."

As a businessman, Tyanna was quite disgusted with the behavior of nobles who would rather spend money to make themselves uncomfortable in order to earn face.

For the sake of face, it’s not surprising...

Hearing this, Luka couldn't help but feel a little sympathy on his face when he looked at the young men and ladies who had the courage to gnaw the dragon meat.
