Onion omelette, mutton bread, charcoal-grilled manta ray, the dinner at Blackhammer Castle is a thank you banquet. Although the food is not as delicious and high-end as in Iron Ring City, as a lord's banquet, it can be put on the table. Especially
It’s that plate of charcoal-grilled manta ray, which is a specialty of Blackhammer Castle.
This fresh fish, which is black all over and has a slightly blood-red dorsal fin, lives in hot spring areas. It is different from the fish species that people usually see. Manta rays live in extremely high temperatures. The water temperature must be above 40 degrees to survive.
The higher the temperature, the better the growth. Therefore, hot springs and hot rivers are the habitats of these exotic fish species.
Underneath the Black Hammer Castle is a geothermal hot spring. The water temperature is so high that it can support a large number of manta rays. Unlike other fish, this strange-shaped fish lives in high-temperature pools in the ground for many years. Its meat is delicious and full of spicy flavor. In the absence of
In the north where there are too many seasonings, meat with its own seasoning is undoubtedly the best delicacy. It is also one of the main foods of Black Hammer Castle.
Rhodes was greeting others on the field, while Alves had already started to enjoy the delicious meal at the table. Except for the three roasted fat sheep, everyone could taste the other food. This is the rule. The staple food must wait until the host
Only by taking action can the guests take action.
Caroline and Varrel, the father and daughter that Rhodes was most worried about, finally began to sit down after talking for more than 20 minutes. However, judging from the expressions of both parties, they did not get along very harmoniously. This is also the case for all fathers.
Daughter, a common problem between father and son, two generations of people, Rhodes has not seen many pairs of fathers and sons, the relationship between father and daughter is very harmonious, there is always a little bump in the road. Not to mention Caroline
This naughty, ignorant child will definitely have conflicts and conflicts with her timid and cautious father.
"Okay, let's raise a toast to celebrate this great victory first!"
As soon as Rhodes sat down, Alves sat in his seat, raised his glass and said loudly. Everyone echoed, and the atmosphere on the court suddenly became heated.
Glasses of wine were exchanged, and all kinds of praises were poured out.
"He should stand up and say."
"He is a dwarf. He is not much taller when he stands than when he sits."
Lawrence and Khufu were whispering underneath. Others began to use their knives and forks to eat the plump roasted whole lamb.
The greasy grease stained everyone's rosy hands. Unlike the professional cooking in Iron Ring City, here in Rhodes, the mutton is roasted and then served. Normally, Rhodes does not eat it while roasting.
My habit is to eat the simplest food to satisfy my hunger.
The banquet hall of Blackhammer Castle is not big, it is as big as two rooms opened and merged together. Every corner of the banquet hall is filled with wine and beer, so the whole hall looks even more crowded. Fortunately,
Alves and Varel didn't bring many people.
On the Iron Ring City side, Alves only brought four people, a groom, a knight captain and two guards. On Varrel's side, including himself, there were only three people, but Rhodes' side was "overcrowded". Two
The foreign aid captains who participated in the defense of Black Hammer Castle were all sitting at the banquet table. There were also Varel's naughty daughter Caroline, plus the chief knight of Black Hammer Castle Virgil, the captain of the castle guard Curry, the bow and arrow
The Master and Lawrence, the Northern Ranger, all sat at the banquet table.
Alves didn't mind sitting with these "servants", but Varrel was slightly displeased. But in Rhode's eyes, these people were as important as the noble lords, and they participated in the frontline battle.
, the most qualified to speak, because this banquet is not just a dinner party, but a summary and discussion. After all, although this year’s evil month has passed, it will come again next year, and more and more people
It’s time to sit down and talk about the vision.
Alves seemed to be ready. He first tasted the manta ray set meal with great interest, then grabbed the mutton and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it for a long time. In less than a while, he was already bloated and sat on the chair unconsciously.
Observing everyone's performance.
Varrel, on the other hand, could see that he had been depressed from the beginning of the banquet to now. Rhodes guessed that he had something to tell him, but due to the occasion, there were too many people and it was inconvenient to speak.
"Lord, I heard that this battle was brutal. The beastmen almost captured the castle?"
Seeing that no one was asking a question, Alves spoke first. The dwarf got straight to the point with one sentence. When Rhodes was about to answer, Caroline rushed to say——
"We have already attacked the inside of the castle. Fortunately, everyone worked together to stop those beasts."
Caroline's answer is not fiction, it is fact, but it can be seen that the father beside her is dissatisfied again, and glared at his daughter, as if to say, in this occasion, Rhodes is the main one, why are you excited...
...But Rhodes just smiled and added——
"Yes, Miss Caroline is right. The Beastmen almost took over the castle. Fortunately, the Frost Witch cast the frost spell to freeze the Beastmen's siege ladder. Only then did the Black Hammer Castle
be preserved.”
"Wait, you mean those beasts used siege ladders?"
Alves asked. His expression became serious.
"Yes, they used battering rams at first. You know, those heavy tree trunks with the horns of dead alien beasts embedded in them became battering rams. But they were beaten by our archers and
The kerosene stopped them. So, they waited for the opportunity, and waited until the dead of night, before climbing up from the blind side of the castle. By the time we discovered it, it was already too late. At least two towers were occupied."
Rod returns.
"Unfortunately, the beastmen are starting to learn to be smart. It seems you are right, they are beasts, but they are smarter than beasts."
Alves said, picked up the wine glass and toasted Rod. The fragrant wine went down his throat, and there was still dark red wine juice at the corner of his mouth. The servant quickly refilled his glass.
"I also have to pay tribute to our lovely Miss Caroline. Your bravery saved this city and hundreds of innocent lives. Am I right? Beautiful Miss Caroline."
Alves turned his eyes to Caroline. The latter smiled back and did not refuse the sudden appreciation.
On the other hand, the Lord of Heidelberg, Baron Varrel, became dissatisfied.
"But your bravery almost exposed yourself. The Frost Witch is not allowed to leave her castle without the Snow Queen's order." He turned around and said.
The atmosphere on the court suddenly felt a little awkward, but Caroline was a restless person, and she immediately turned back to——
"It's only two days away. The distance between Heidelberg and Blackhammer Castle is not that far. It is the duty of the Frost Witch to protect the people from the threat of foreign enemies. This is also what the Snow Queen Katarina said."
Caroline shot back.
"Then did she tell you to act within your ability? You almost lost your life on the city wall!"
"Not taking action when in danger is not what a frost witch should do."
The father and daughter exchanged words with each other, and the situation became increasingly awkward.
"Hey, Lord Varrel, my old friend, don't blame your daughter for this. I asked her to help me defend the castle. The evil moon is coming, and everyone has the obligation to ensure the safety of the North. We are warriors
, This is the duty that should be fulfilled. Caroline behaved very bravely. Without her, Black Hammer Castle might have fallen long ago. This is a fact, and I have to praise her. And your soldiers, they are also very brave, Black Hammer
The Fort remembers them and their contribution to this battle."
Rhodes stepped forward and resolved the embarrassment.
"What's the use of remembering? They're dead. Rhodes, should you explain why there are so many people in Blackhammer Castle but they can't find the beastmen charging around the corner? My warriors are brave, but that's not the case.
