"Yes, it has indeed been a long time." Tiger replied calmly, and began to complain endlessly: "Due to the damn round table trial, we have been eating and sleeping in the open in the past few weeks. Not only did we not
We had a delicious meal, and we were always chased by monsters in the wild. Previously, we were required to get from Cairo to Mount Gilimanjaro in three days, and the journey was so tiring!"
"Oh, is it an exam? I've heard of it." Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, frowned a little.
"My sons and I used to live in Great Britain. We recently came to Egypt because we were taking the exams for the Knights of the Round Table." Palamedes quickly continued, "These spoiled brats just can't bear the slightest hardship, haha."
Ha ha------"
"Nothing. Regardless of one's origin, it is a good thing for people to have lofty ambitions," Ms. Rosetta nodded and praised: "I heard that the Round Table Trial is a very dangerous and extremely difficult exam. Since you can take the exam and
Going all the way to this point proves that your skills are very good?"
"No, actually we are just lucky..." When asked about the main point, Palamedes was about to shirk it humbly.
Unexpectedly, his son Seifer suddenly added: "Dad used to be an excellent warrior in the orc army. He also once served in King Arthur's personal guard knights and was able to fight with the former king of knights."
Chengpingshoumeow."
"Oh, really?!" The Queen of Jewels looked at Palamedes in slight shock.
They are not fools, and they never fight unprepared battles. Knowing that Ms. Rosetta can distinguish the truth from lies in words, Saifer can unscrupulously put out all kinds of shocking facts to bluff people. This is always the case.
Good, on the one hand, it can frighten the opponent, so that the Queen of Jewels, Kong, is constantly surprised, and has no time to ask all kinds of questions that are difficult for them to answer; on the other hand, Seifer also plays a little prank, using slightly exaggerated explanations.
To embarrass his father Palamedes. Even if he did this out of respect and love for his father, it was also out of hatred for his father-hate and love are inherently one.
Palamedes glared at Saifer angrily, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. That was a long, long time ago. I'm afraid I'm not King Arthur's rival at all now. In fact,
In our last duel, Arthur defeated me completely. From then on, I was taken back by him and had to join his knights."
Because at this time, Palamedes had to confess. If this was Seifer's purpose---to embarrass his father---this brat's purpose may have been achieved.
"Despite this, you are already very powerful." The Gem Queen took a sip of red wine. The ruby red in the wine glass reflected on the face of this noble dark elf under the light, adding a bit of rosy color to her. She
He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "However, since your son is so powerful, I have never heard you brag about your son, Sphinx?"
As if he was amused, the lion man suddenly sneered like thunder: "Huhu. Do I look like the kind of person who likes to brag?"
"It's not like that, of course it's not like that." Ms. Rosetta also smiled brightly and took a bite of the crystal apple with a mysterious look in her eyes. For business purposes, the two people's dealings may not be a matter of a day and a half.
They already know each other to a certain extent, and the conversation at this moment is even more mysterious. Behind the seemingly relaxed words, there is a fierce struggle.
The atmosphere became a little tense, but at the same time, the waiters cleverly brought the second dish, temporarily interrupting everyone's conversation.
Platefuls of fragrant and delicious golden corn egg drop soup were placed in front of everyone, with waves of white mist floating in the air. The lights of the luxury box softly illuminated the mist, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.
Although it is said to be golden corn, those corn kernels are actually full of the texture of gold-colored crystals, which is very different from the metallic color. They are beautiful, crystal clear and elegant, and they look particularly clear and refined in the translucent egg drop soup, and they are luxurious and generous.
of luster.
The egg drop soup base, which has the egg yolk removed and is as translucent and semi-misty as clouds, contrasts with the golden corn, making the whole bowl of soup like an ethereal foggy scene with countless treasures buried, full of mystery.
The soup before a formal dinner is of course designed to whet the appetite and increase appetite. This egg drop soup is no exception. It cleverly removes the cholesterol content in eggs, and combines it with the rich vitamins and dietary fiber of golden corn to make the whole meal more enjoyable.
Every bowl of soup is full of nutrition and health.
In addition to its beautiful color, its aroma is even more wonderful. It exudes the mellow aroma of eggs, the strong aroma of corn, and the attractive sourness of skimmed sour cream. It is not only a healthy appetizer, but also an appetizer soup before a feast.
.It seems that even if you don’t drink it, just smelling the fragrance of this dish is enough to arouse people’s appetite.
Paramedis took a cherished sip, and the sweet, sour and smooth feeling immediately rippled in the big cat's throat, making the big cat feel elated!
"Hmm." Ms. Rosetta put down the spoon and continued the topic: "Speaking of which, Mr. Palamedes, wouldn't your wife object to you bringing your sons to participate in such a dangerous round table trial?"
"How could my wife not object? She was still having trouble with me the night before departure." Palamedes said with a bitter smile, his eyes drifting to Saifer's face for a moment, and then looking away instantly:
"But I have a reason why I have to take the exam no matter what, and Vivian must understand it. I don't want to brag about how powerful I am, but I am a survivor, no matter how difficult the next trial is.
It’s difficult, but I can at least get through it alive.”
This is the truth. Palamedes, who became the Green Knight, has amazing self-healing ability. Unless his head is completely destroyed in a short time, or he is seriously injured with a weapon enchanted with [Holy]
, otherwise, ordinary means cannot kill him at all. Even if most of his power is sealed by the demon-sealing bracelet, his ability to save his life will not be reduced much. He has never been prepared for his own survival in this trial.
Worried about problems.
What he was worried about was his sons. Saifer and Seglade were just ordinary leopard men, and their physical abilities were not much different from other orcs. Along the way, they witnessed how dangerous the Round Table Trial was.
Examination, Palamedes became more and more worried that his sons would lose their lives in this terrible exam. Fortunately, these two boys had participated in several round table trials. If they had known from the beginning that the round table trials were so dangerous
For the exam, Palamedes will definitely try his best to prevent his two sons from taking this exam.
"Haha, you men are all creatures who go your own way. That's fine ---" The Queen of Gem seemed to have sensed Palamedes' true intentions from his words and deeds. But she didn't.
He said it clearly, but changed the subject and said: "Since you are experts in combat, you must know how to save your lives in dangerous situations, so I won't say anything more. But where is your mother---the grandmother of your children?"
Didn’t she advise you not to take this kind of exam?"
"My mother?" The Leopard Warrior's heart tightened. He knew what was coming was coming anyway. Palamedes, who was originally an orphan, had no father or mother since he was a child, and survived by stealing and committing crimes, had no way of answering this question.
question.
Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations before attending this dinner, and knew that the Queen of Jewels would definitely ask about Palamedes' life experience, so they already had a fixed answer.
Palamedes sighed: "I don't want to say more about my mother..."
As Father Sphinx said before, if there is no answer to a question, choose silence.
The Sphinx Father will finish the rest: "Rowling passed away a long time ago, and this kid was not sensible at that time."
Once again, this majestic lion-man opened his mouth and told a big lie without restraint. Palamedes couldn't help but wonder how powerful the self-hypnosis the Sphinx relied on to treat lies as truth.
, and firmly believed in all this, and said it out loud?
"Oh...I'm sorry." An embarrassed expression flashed across the face of Jewel Queen Rosetta for a moment. Maybe she had heard that what Father Sphinx said was the "truth." Maybe
She realized that she had asked a very rude question, touching a sore spot for Palamedes--even though the [sore spot] didn't exist in the first place.
"There's no need to apologize." Palamedes shook his head gently and finished the soup, "I can't even remember what my mother looked like. There's no way to mourn for those I don't remember.
There is no way to remember them. They never existed in my life from the beginning."
These unfavorable words of Palamedes should not have been uttered on such an occasion. But as a wandering child who was abandoned by his parents since birth and was lonely in the world, the Leopard Man Warrior will always harbor feelings for his biological parents.
More or less resentment. When someone accidentally touches this thorn in his heart, the big cat will even release all the negative energy in his heart regardless of the occasion or the environment.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did. Everyone present showed complicated expressions, which were quite embarrassing. There was even a mysterious embarrassment on Father Sphinx's face, as if Palamedes was resentful.
His biological mother's words seemed to have something to do with him.
But the embarrassment on the lion man's father's face quickly disappeared without a trace. He smiled generously and said: "Stop saying such unlucky words. Come on, tonight's main course is here, everyone."
Eat to your heart's content."
At Dad's order, the waiters in the restaurant brought the main course of the dinner, which was also the most anticipated delicacy - steak.
Or maybe it's not steak, but the steak of other creatures?
