Chapter 818: The pit dug by myself
"Alice, why...why are you willing to let Lolita marry Gervais?"
Caroline suppressed the pain in her heart and asked Alice.
"There is nothing I can do, otherwise I would have to sacrifice so many lives today in St. An City and the gathering place!"
"Moreover, Lolita is indeed sincere to Gervais, so Neptune also agreed! They are in the guest room in the back garden now, and they should discuss the engagement between Gervais and Lolita at the luncheon later!
"
Alice looked at Caroline and the gem necklace around her neck. Seeing that her expression was very troubled, she asked pretending not to know.
"Caroline, are you okay? Do you want the medical team to come and check you out?"
"I...I'm fine! I'm just a little tired from running just now!"
After hearing what Alice said, Caroline's face turned pale.
Faced with Alice's question, she could only pretend to be indifferent and answer.
When Gervais saw Caroline in such a situation, he felt heartbroken and guilty.
"No, all the mistakes in this matter are my fault alone. How can I let Caroline bear the responsibility alone!"
Although Gervais was a scumbag, he was still a responsible man. He immediately made up his mind and prepared to confess to Alice.
When the time comes, whether Alice hits him or scolds him, he will accept it.
However, Caroline could not be allowed to endure such a huge grievance alone.
"like……"
"Sister Alice!"
"Gervais!"
"Sister Caroline!"
And just when Gervais was about to confess himself, Lolita happened to come to the temple with Neptune on her arm after washing up!
Lolita had completely recovered her mood at this time, and even changed from her previous indifference, with a happy smile on her face.
Lolita's lively appearance made even Neptune look a little sideways!
In the past, Lolita was only like this to a few close relatives around her.
"Um!"
Seeing Neptune, Lolita and others coming out, Gervais could only hold back what he wanted to say.
He showed a smile and gave Lolita a favor, then focused his attention on Caroline.
"Sister Lolita, Lord Neptune!"
Alice on the side greeted Lolita and Neptune with a smile on her face.
"Sister Lolita!"
Of course, Caroline also spoke, but her smile was a little forced, and she simply said hello to Lolita.
When she saw Lolita's smile at this time, she could predict that in the future Lolita would be called Gervase's legal concubine like Alice.
And she, the lover, may always be a lover!
After the group said hello, Gandalf and Gust just arrived at the door, so Alice stood up from the main seat.
"Your Excellency Neptune, the luncheon is ready! Let's go over and take a seat!"
Because there were still more than ten strong men from the Sea Clan to protect the safety of Sea King, the luncheon was held directly in the temple instead of in the small building in the back garden.
At this time, two long tables had been set up in the temple. Alice knew that there was still a gap between Gervais and Neptune, so she took the initiative to invite Neptune and Lolita to sit down instead of Gervais.
"Thanks for the treat!"
Neptune had no expression for Alice, and immediately nodded and walked towards the long table with Lolita holding hands affectionately.
When Gervais saw Alice greeting everyone, he deliberately took a step behind and came to the side of Caroline who was hesitating.
"Caroline, let's go! Let's go together!"
"I...I'm not going!"
However, Caroline rejected Gervais and prepared to walk out of the temple!
She was afraid that if she continued to stay here, she would feel the pain of grievance when she heard about the engagement between Lolita and Gervais later.
"Gervis, Caroline, come here quickly!"
At this time, Alice, who had already brought Neptune, Lolita and others to the long table, found that the two of them were still there, and immediately greeted them.
With this greeting, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to them.
"Let's go! Caroline!"
Gervais immediately continued to urge Caroline.
Under the gaze of everyone, Caroline could no longer refuse and could only follow Gervais towards the long table with a forced smile.
Coming to the long table, Gervais and Alice sat at the head table, while Gandalf, Gust and Caroline sat on both sides.
Neptune, Lolita, and Vaaudin were sitting across from each other, and the rest of the sea masters were naturally at another table.
Everyone was seated, and the servants who had been waiting for a long time quickly brought the barbecue and fresh soup that needed to be kept warm.
When the dishes were almost served, Alice stabbed Gervais without leaving a trace under the table.
After being poked by Alice, Gervais naturally knew what she wanted to do, and immediately complimented Neptune helplessly.
"Your Excellency Neptune, you're welcome, let's start eating!"
"oh!"
Facing Gervais's words, Neptune's expression was also reluctant.
"Father, hurry up and try this barbecue! Gervais's chef is very different, and the food he makes is even more delicious than the chefs in the palace!"
Seeing the delicate atmosphere on the table, in order to ease the atmosphere, Lolita quickly cut a piece of barbecue for Neptune with a sweet smile and handed it to his dinner plate.
"Then let me have a taste!"
Hearing his daughter speak, Neptune reluctantly nodded, then picked up the barbecue and put it in his mouth.
"How about it, father, isn't Chef Gervais's skills great!"
When she saw Neptune eating barbecue, Lolita felt that Neptune would compliment her as she said, which would ease the atmosphere at the long table.
But she still underestimated how depressed Neptune would be if he thought he would go to the apple of his eye. After eating the barbecue, Neptune frowned slightly and then said.
"It's not bad! It's just a little bit better!"
Neptune's words were full of reluctance, as if he was reluctantly complimenting him to give his master face.
After saying this, everyone at the long table suddenly had strange expressions, and Lolita also became extremely embarrassed.
Could Chef Jimmy's skills be so bad?
Of course that's not the case. In fact, the moment the roasted meat entered his mouth, Neptune, as the Lord of the Ocean, couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
The taste of barbecue is unprecedented, but it is much better than his cooks.
But it was delicious, and he was going to embarrass this Gervais boy today.
After all, this kid turned his pearl into cooked rice without saying a word.
He had carefully cared for the pearl for twenty years, but it was stolen by Gervais in the blink of an eye. Naturally, he couldn't bear this anger!
"This old man!"
Seeing that Neptune was telling lies with his eyes open, Gervais cursed secretly with some annoyance.
If Alice hadn't been pressing him down next to him, Gervais would have stood up and challenged Neptune to find someone who could cook barbecue better than Jimmy.
"Gervis, hurry up and eat too!"
Alice was deeply afraid that Gervais would fight back, so she immediately cut a piece of barbecue for him to comfort him.
In this way, Gervais continued to eat depressedly.
When the Sea King over there saw Gervase's deflated expression, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Father, come and taste the wine! This wine is more delicious than before!"
Facing Neptune's temper, Lolita was also a little helpless.
However, in order to make her father agree to the engagement more happily, she still had to coax her father well.
As for Gervais, he can only make up for it after the marriage is agreed upon.
At that moment, Lolita immediately poured a glass of wine for Neptune and delivered it to Neptune.
"Wine? The ones you gave to your father only had a sip! Then they were all given to your brothers!"
"Because this wine tastes too light and is suitable for you girls to drink. My father usually drinks the dwarf's fire wine, which is really strong!"
This time, Neptune was ready to pursue the victory. He didn't even take the cup. He just took a look at the wine in the cup and opened his mouth to speak.
On the opposite side, Gervais, who was swallowing the roasted meat and carrying the quilt to take a sip of wine, froze.
Seeing Gervais' frozen movements, Neptune felt happy in his heart, so he continued to speak.
"Lord Gervais, I'm afraid you haven't drunk the dwarf's fire bar yet! Come, these bottles are given to you by me, and they will also give you some knowledge! Haha!"
The dwarf's fire wine is considered a niche alcoholic drink, after all, it is very strong.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if Gervais has drunk it. Neptune himself likes to drink dwarf fire wine on weekdays. He feels that his drinking capacity can definitely crush Gervais.
So I’m ready to make a fuss about this.
"Father, let's forget it!"
Only after Neptune finished speaking, Gervais had not yet responded, but it was Lolita who took the lead in persuading him.
When Gervais went to the City of Hope, Lolita and Vaaudin paid close attention to the whole journey, so they naturally knew about Gervais's gambling and drinking.
But they haven't had time to tell Neptune about such a thing. After all, Neptune has been arranging the war in the Land of God's Fall.
Now Neptune's motive for taking out the dwarf's fire wine is obvious, but this is completely to extend his face to Gervase and let him rub it!
In order to avoid her father's embarrassment, Lolita naturally did not dare to neglect.
"It's okay, Lolita. Father still believes in your vision. Since Gervais can catch your eye, it's nothing to believe in this dwarf's fire wine!"
"Gervis, do you think so? Today you and I each have three pots. We are not allowed to use power to dissolve them. We drink them directly. After drinking, I will immediately start discussing Lolita's engagement with you, otherwise there will be no discussion!"
However, it's okay if Lolita doesn't persuade her. Once she does, Neptune immediately thinks that Lolita is worried about Gervais.
Instead, he was even more determined to use dwarf fire wine to make Gervase lose face.
As the saying goes, what can be tolerated is what cannot be tolerated. Gervais finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The old man took the initiative to bring his face over for him to rub, and Gervais felt that he had to control his arrogant attitude.
So, I spoke directly.
"Thank you, Neptune! But..."
"But Lord Neptune, I have a kind of hell fire wine here, but it is more delicious than the dwarf fire wine. Let's drink this!"
With that said, Gervais took out the hellfire wine directly from the space ring, and then had someone send it over without waiting for Neptune to speak.
Seeing this, Neptune originally wanted to say something, but when he heard that the wine Gervais brought out also contained the word "fire wine", he also wanted to see what this hell fire wine was, and he would say it later depending on the situation.
Only when the hellfire wine was placed in front of him, Neptune's eyes lit up invisibly.
"There is such a strong fire wine!"
Neptune clearly knew from the rich aroma of the wine that this Hell Fire Wine was not inferior to the Dwarf Fire Wine!
"Your Excellency Neptune, I'll do it first out of respect!"
While Neptune was still surprised by the hellfire wine he saw for the first time, Gervais had already poured himself a glass and started drinking it.
He was not prepared to give Neptune a way out, and was determined to beat Neptune.
"Come here, boy, am I going to lose to you again?"
When Neptune heard Gervais's words and was full of curiosity about the fire wine, he immediately started serving it for himself and then drank it.
Gudong! Gudong!
"Hiss! Why is it so strong!"
However, when the wine entered his mouth, Neptune's eyes widened. This hellfire wine was actually much stronger than he imagined, far beyond his expectation.
"If you drink three pots, wouldn't it be equivalent to drinking six or seven pots of dwarf fire wine?"
Neptune immediately had a plan in his mind and hesitated a little.
As an elder, he would be much more embarrassed than Gervais when he got drunk.
"Your Excellency Neptune, for the second cup, I will continue to toast you!"
But while Neptune was still hesitating, Gervais' words came again, and then he started drinking the second bowl of cup!
Seeing this, Neptune could only helplessly pour himself a second glass of wine.
Then, one cup, two cups, three cups...the more he drank, the more frightened Neptune became, and he had a vague feeling of something bad.
After drinking a whole pot, Gervais across from him had a moment of rest.
At this time, Neptune's face was already turning red.
"Father! Are you okay?"
When Lolita saw Neptune's appearance, she immediately asked in a low voice.
"Lolita! Father, it's okay! This is just my level of drinking!"
At this time, Neptune felt that his stomach was turning, and his head was already feeling dizzy.
However, when he saw Gervais looking at him with a smile, he waved his hand directly to Lolita who cared about him, saying that he could fight again.
"Let's see how long you can last!
Hearing Neptune's words, Gervais smiled secretly in his heart. He could naturally see that Neptune was still close to being drunk. When he saw that Neptune was still pretending, he immediately spoke!
"In that case, Lord Neptune, let's continue drinking!"
With that said, Gervais continued to pick up the second bottle of wine and pour it!
Then, one cup, two cups, three cups...
Just four or five minutes later, another pot...
"Father!"
At the end of the second pot, Gervais on the opposite side remained calm, but Neptune was a little shaken!
"I'm fine! Lolita!"
At this time, Neptune felt that his tongue was numb, and he secretly wondered in his mind that the boy opposite was a monster. After two bottles of wine, even his purple-flag knight's body began to get tipsy, but his expression remained unchanged.
However, he was the one who provoked this competition. If he surrendered now, he, the Sea King, would not be able to stand up to Gervais in the future, so he could only hold on in the face of Lolita's concern.
When Lolita heard her father's words, she naturally didn't believe it this time!
A daughter is better than her father. In fact, the daughter who understands her father best is often her daughter.
Lolita usually knows Neptune very well. In the past, Neptune would basically stop drinking after drinking to this state.
Because Neptune once told her that if she drinks again, she will be really drunk and it will affect her ability to handle affairs.
Lolita is now very worried about how her father will discuss the engagement later if he is drunk.
Thinking of this, Lolita continued to speak.
"Father, Gervais, if you don't want to drink, you don't have to drink!"
When Neptune heard Lolita's suggestion, he wanted to agree. After all, if the dignified Neptune got drunk here, he would be directly embarrassed.
But it was he who suggested drinking three bottles of wine. Now to end it, he could only wait for Gervais opposite to speak first, otherwise he would be equally embarrassed.
At that moment, Neptune said nothing and did not respond to Lolita.
And Gervase knew the hellfire wine very well. He expected that Neptune would be able to walk even after drinking a pot. He was actually planning to continue drinking.
"Gervais!"
However, Gervais did not want to spare Neptune, but Alice could not really let the relationship between the two become tense.
The slender little hand reached under the table without leaving a trace and placed it on Gervais's waist.
"Okay! Let's drink here first!"
Feeling the extra palms on his waist, Gervais couldn't stop smashing and smashing his mouth!
"Okay then [Biquge www.xbqg5200.co]! Let's go here first this time!"
As soon as Gervais opened his mouth, Neptune immediately got off the slope, and immediately nodded and said something fake.
Chapter completed!
