It’s not the first time for everyone at Cang Qing Sword to have dinner with their companions’ families.
The last time a similar scene occurred was when she met Eleanor's brother Ludwig. When they first met, they invited everyone to a dinner party. As a result, Eleanor ordered a bunch of expensive dishes, which is a classic case of cheating on her brother.
However, even in the high-end hotels within the Holy Solomon Empire, the so-called expensive dishes prepared for the HRE nobles were far inferior to this banquet in terms of luxury and richness.
Even many of the dishes on the table could not be recognized by anyone. They could only barely tell that this was meat, that was seafood, and that was vegetables... As for the specific ingredients, they had no idea at all.
"Sister Nora." Mia sat next to Nora and asked secretly, "What kind of meat is that red?"
"Those are grilled slices of fire hydrilla." Nora replied.
"What is a fire polyp?" Mia continued to ask.
"The fire polyp is a kind of extraordinary marine creature." Nora said with a smile, "They only grow near the craters of underwater volcanoes, absorbing the surging geothermal heat to maintain their own spiritual growth."
"Isn't it hard to find submarine volcanoes?" Mia was shocked, "How did you catch so many of them?"
Nora was conflicted. She felt that she could not explain it too straightforwardly to Mia, otherwise the child's immature outlook on life and values would be corrupted by adults' dirty money.
So she thought for a moment and explained tactfully:
"Mia, do you know Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica?"
"Ah, I know!" Mia said. Because Mastro, who was from the Constantinople Thieves Guild, mentioned in the letter he left for her that her baby's swaddling clothes when she was a child were embroidered with the words "Xin"
The surname "Quimani" is said to be the surname of an ancient noble in the Kingdom of Sicily. "It should be on an island in the south, right?"
"Yes. People who live on these islands are nicknamed 'Sea People' on the mainland. This means that they are very good at swimming and diving, and can easily memorize nearby ocean currents and hydrological conditions.
These fire polyps were also caught by them.”
Nora cleverly concealed the key role of cash ability in this, explaining that the hired seamen were highly skilled in diving, which was why they were able to catch so many fire zodiacs.
"So, Sister Nora, do I also have the blood of the sea people?" Mia blinked curiously.
So Nora was even more confused. Because the word "sea people" didn't sound very nice. In Latin, it actually meant "pirates and lowly exiles". She could only force a smile and said:
"No, the sea people are generally people at the bottom of society. Mia, isn't your surname owned by the nobles? The nobles over there generally don't call themselves 'sea people'."
"Oh." Mia said, "So I am a noble?"
Nora:………………
Today's Mediterranean islands have been occupied by the Normans for many years, establishing the Kingdom of Sicily where pirates were rampant. As for those ancient Sicilian nobles, they were probably killed by the Palermo court of the Normans.
Of course, she couldn't explain to Mia directly, "Your family is probably all dead, so your surname has also been lost and you can't be considered a noble." She could only touch her head and said with a smile:
"Mia, heroes don't respect blood, but blood will be proud of heroes."
Mia:???
She suddenly felt a little depressed. No wonder Rasul suggested that she and Mel should not seek refuge with Nora and Eleanor. These two sisters talked so eloquently that my little Mia couldn't understand them at all. What?
"You have to know why you fight" and "bloodline will be proud of heroes", what does it mean!!
Mia closed her mouth sadly and saw Nora's parents, accompanied by Capasilin, walking in from outside the box.
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted. Last time Eleanor's Ludwig was the same generation as everyone, so everyone could laugh and laugh; however, this time Nora's parents are elders, so the etiquette must be sufficient.
Marcus smiled and asked everyone not to be too polite, indicating that everyone could take their seats again. He glanced around the room, and was a little surprised to find that the proportion of women present... why was it a bit high?
In fact, after the Blue Sword Mercenary Group's information was sent over by the family, Marcus, who was still on vacation, read through it that day. However, he mainly checked Asker's information, and by the way, he also looked at Nora's information.
The rest of the people basically glanced at the information about my best friend Eleanor.
Of course, even if he carefully read through all the information, there are some things that he would not be aware of unless he saw them with his own eyes. This Blue Sword mercenary group is actually composed entirely of beautiful girls. This is simply outrageous.
As a husband, Marcus thought this way. As a wife, **Liya naturally thought of going with her husband. But she would not question the rationality of "why women make up the majority of a mercenary group."
The question she cares about is "Why does this young man recruit so many women around him?"
That is to question Asker's character.
If your daughter's boyfriend is surrounded by all kinds of girls all day long, then the possibility of cheating will be greatly increased... If you don't cheat? If you don't cheat, why would you find so many beautiful girls to join the group?
Nora saw the slight change in her parents' expressions, and without even further mind-reading, she guessed that they must have thought of something dangerous, and quickly activated the ability to implant thoughts according to the pre-planned plan.
Then this thought flashed through the couple's minds:
According to the Holy See, the members of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group have great potential. This potential for high growth has led to their collective evaluation by Raphael to an unprecedented level.
In other words, "all are beautiful girls" is not the common denominator of the members of the Cangqing Sword mercenary group. "Having the potential for high strength and growth", the so-called "promising future", is the most important thing for this mercenary group.
common characteristics.
And isn't it a very normal thing for a mercenary group to recruit "very potential" combat talents? As for why they are all women...how many of them can there be in the world? If these talents happen to be women, wouldn't it be possible?
Aren’t you going to recruit people?
After thinking like this (guided), Marcus and Jacqueline's expressions softened again.
Phew, passed the test.
Nora breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head again, and saw Medea looking at her with interest.
In the spiritual horizon, a hidden spiritual tentacle stretches out and Medea sends a communication request to you.
"What's wrong?" Nora agreed to the communication.
"Did you just activate the ability to implant thoughts?" Medea went straight to the point.
"That's right, let Aske leave a good impression on them." Nora replied calmly.
"Really?" Medea was noncommittal, "Then what do they think of Ask now?"
"I think he is very good." Nora smiled confidently and said:
"Very suitable to be the son-in-law of the Licinius family."
