Chapter 241 The Garden of Eden

Lothar's chef is a Saracen, and his dishes are very suitable for Lothar's taste.

At the very least, compared to those Western European chefs who are good at making "Swan Pie" and "Bird Pie", which look interesting but are actually dark dishes, they are much more palatable.

In the former, after making swan meat into pies, the chef will insert the swan's head, wings, and feathers back into the pies to create a lifelike feeling.

The latter is to seal the live bird in the pie, and cut it open with a knife when eating.

The bird would flap its wings and fly out, leaving a residue in the pie.

Of course, there is a high probability that this kind of pie will be distributed to the poor after the banquet to show the benevolence of the nobles. For the same reason, the bread plates used by the nobles will also be distributed to the poor after they are soaked in soup and cannot be used.

The Franks of this era often used bread as tableware, because it was too hard, and it would choke if eaten dry. It could be used as a dinner plate to soak soup, and when the food was too bad, the bread would also soften.

After the main meal, the chef took the tray and delivered three kinds of desserts: egg tart, apple pie, and soft bread mixed with butter and milk.

It is quite luxurious.

The reason why the nobles in the Holy Land are more extravagant than their counterparts in Europe is that they can enjoy cheaper spices.

For example, saffron, which the Gauls love for 10 minutes, is more expensive than gold, but its origin is in Sasanian Persia.

distance factor.

The saffron that leads to the Holy Land is much cheaper than being transported across the entire Mediterranean Sea to the Continent.

Like the spices consumed by Lothar eating a barbecue, he was already a duke-level nobleman in Europe, and he consumed them during banquets.

Moreover, even great nobles, if it is just a family banquet, apart from the factors of "showing off" and "showing strength", they will rarely eat so extravagantly.

For example, when Lothar was in Argau, although there were two sets of silver tableware at home, they were often only placed in the storage room unless they invited distinguished guests or held banquets.

Probably because she was not familiar with everyone and still couldn't let go, Celinina's movements were very reserved when eating.

But the speed of eating is still very fast.

It can be seen that her appetite is not small, and she can compete with Jeanne and Hans.

It's just that the appearance of eating is much better.

After all, it is from a noble family. The "Di" of the Apennines, the "Fon" of the Germanic nobles, and the "De" of the Gauls are all exclusive characteristics of the nobles, representing "from".

Cellinina's full name is: Cellinina di Basilicata, which proves that she is a member of the Basilicata family, which is the place name of the Two Sicilies.

After meal.

Everyone dispersed.

In the courtyard, deep in the deep corridor.

Celinina didn't know where to go for a while, and looked blankly at the crescent moon in the sky, which seemed to be the same as the world of her hometown.

It doesn't look like I'm in another world.

Her ears twitched suddenly.

Behind him, there were soft footsteps.

Lothar said, "Miss Cellinina, are you still used to it here?"

Celinina turned her head and bowed her knees slightly: "Good night, my lord. Everyone is very enthusiastic, and there is nothing unaccustomed to it."

"You don't have to be so polite with me. When you suddenly come to a new world and are surrounded by strangers, it's normal if you feel uncomfortable, and I didn't adapt at first."

Celinina solemnly said: "What I said is true. Almost all my relatives and friends died in the turmoil not long ago. That world has nothing to miss for me. On the contrary, after being Before you summoned me, I was facing the killer sent by the 'Wolf Lord' to kill me."

"I should thank you for saving me from danger."

Lothar felt that he should comfort her, but from her plain expression, Lothar did not see any emotions such as sadness.

The atmosphere is a little stiff.

Celinina took out the tin box, flicked her index finger lightly, and lifted the lid: "Thank you also, for finding the biscuit box for me, would you like one?"

Lothar declined: "It's still not necessary..."

"Well--"

A strawberry-flavored chocolate bar was stuffed into his mouth.

The action is very quick.

Even without an upgrade, the agility that is basically close to [-] points is still not comparable to that of Lothar, and it may barely keep up after the blood waterfall.

Celinina said calmly, "My lord, I can tell whether you are really rejecting or just being polite."

Lothar chewed the biscuit quickly, swallowed it, and said, "Your judgment is very sharp, and the taste is good. Now, let me take you to your room—you can also choose a new one by yourself, this mansion is idle. There are many rooms, but the furniture may not be complete, I will order the servants to replace it for you."

The reason for the incompleteness is due to Zahn.

When he evacuated, he took almost everything he could take with him.

Lothar is also too lazy to spend money to re-purchase. He is not willing to invest too much in personal enjoyment other than "food".

Celinina shook her head and said, "No need, my lord, I don't pay attention to these things—I have undergone very rigorous training, even in the stables, I can fall asleep quickly."

Lothar nodded slightly: "Okay.

On the left, the third room is your room. In a courtyard with me, go straight along the corridor, and the first room you see is mine.

If you have any questions, you can always come to me or Jeanne-although she doesn't sound very reliable, she is actually a very enthusiastic girl. "

Celina was silent for a while.

The famous Yao knight, who is regarded as the nemesis of evil, is actually a warm-hearted girl. This sentence will definitely be regarded as the biggest joke in the world by her clansmen.

She also thought that this would be a serious female knight with a dignified face.

She knelt slightly again to express her gratitude: "I will, thank you for your hospitality, and at the same time, please convey my thanks to everyone for me."

"You're welcome."

Watching Celinina leave, his eyes lingered on the fluffy gray tail behind the girl - when walking, it would shake with the steps.

It makes people feel the urge to touch it.

"Hey, does it look good?"

At some point, the voice that appeared beside Lothar startled him.

Look back.

Jeanne was sitting on the railing in the courtyard porch.

She held a bottle of mulled wine in her hand, her elbows on her knees.

Seeing what Lothar saw, she put down the wine bottle and made an exaggerated semicircular gesture: "It's very big, no worse than Miss Prajna, and she's still a beast ear girl."

Lothar became furious: "I'm just looking at the tail!"

There were two blushes on her cheeks, and she smiled and said, "Then you really have no vision."

She tilted her head and looked at Lothar: "No, it's not that I don't have no vision. When I first came here, I didn't enjoy such treatment. My lord, did you have a premeditated plan?"

Lothar said expressionlessly: "You think too much, Celinina, she's just a little girl, in terms of age, she's not even a fraction of yours, and she just suffered a big misfortune."

"It's true that the whole family was destroyed and hunted down. It really makes people want to love them."

Jeanna took this very seriously: "Don't worry, I will give her more care and let her feel us. By the way, what should our small group be called?"

"Trans-Jordan Mutual Aid Committee?"

"Hebron Extraordinary Association?"

"Abnormal biological mutual aid group?"

"Yesterday's giant ship?"

She said several names in a row.

Lothar frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If you have to choose a name, it might be better to call it Garden of Eden."

"Not bad!"

"As expected of the Sun King, his ability to name names is far better than mine."

Jeanne gave a thumbs up, changed the topic, and said, "Then the question is, my lord, who is your Eve?"

Legend has it that the Garden of Eden is a paradise on earth created by God, where Adam and Eve lived together.

Lothar suddenly lost interest in continuing the chat.

"Or, everyone?"

Lothar's pace quickened a bit.

"It's really greedy!"

Jeanna raised her tone, and her voice was full of smiles: "But it's nothing, it depends on when you can muster up the courage, I don't care."

"But other ladies may mind this kind of greedy behavior."

Watching Lothar's back as if fleeing.

Jeanna proudly picked up the wine bottle, and took a small sip: "Oh, I'm getting older, so I should drink more tonic."

This bottle of wine is a hot drink mixed with spices.

In this era, the reason why spices are considered precious is that they can improve the taste of food caused by poor cooking methods.

Also because spices are considered a tonic.

...

When back in the room.

Hannya is wearing a white linen short-sleeved sleeve, with white arms protruding from the loose opening, writing with a pen.

Fringila sat on the side a little bored, resting her chin on her hand, seeing Lothar, she was still a little sullen.

"what happened?"

"I'm so bored," she said angrily.

Lothar was a little surprised: "Aren't you busy researching potions recently?"

Losar specially prepared an empty alchemy laboratory for her, far away from the mansion, even if there was an explosion, it would not cause too much loss.

"It's boring."

She crossed her legs, and her long white hair hung down her cheeks: "You've obviously been free recently, and you don't want to accompany me."

"I have to practice martial arts during the day and meditate at night."

Even though exercising now, if the attribute points that can be improved are very limited, it may not be able to increase once in half a month.

But Lothar didn't slack off either.

It is very helpful for Lothar to improve his swordsmanship and reaction ability with Hans every day.

He didn't want to be useless without the power of the system.

"In short, it's just boring. If this continues, I want to sleep until next year."

Lothar frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you want to make friends with Celinina?"

"what?"

Fringira was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"You can get delicious biscuits - you are also of equal status, you are both princesses of your own ethnic groups, regardless of racial prejudice, I think you may be able to get along."

Fringila lacked interest: "Don't be kidding, it's already boring to have a boring gourd like a big, stupid girl. That little wolf girl looks similar to her."

Prajna put down the pen.

Fringira was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Banruo didn't have a chance for her, so she brought a basin to wash herself.

"Look, she is such a boring person."

"Go and try, Flynn."

Lothar said solemnly: "Actually, you and Jeanne get along very well, don't you? If you make more friends, life may become much more interesting."

Fringilla was silent for a moment.

He snorted softly and said, "To put it bluntly, don't you still have no time to accompany me? It's boring, boring. Why do I need friends like that?"

boom.

Push the door out.

A short-tempered and sensitive little girl who feels neglected, walks the hallway.

The door was suddenly opened.

Very unfortunate.

She came to Cellinina's door.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, just hanging out."

The two looked at each other in silence.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a long time, Cellinina took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "That"

"Want to come and sit with me?"

Fringira raised her brows and snorted softly, remembering what Lothar said before, she wanted to refuse.

But then, I heard the sound of Celinina's fingers flipping open the iron box.

"Please eat."

Seeing Celinina's serious expression, Fringila snorted again, feeling a little lacklustre, so she snorted again.

"Since you have kindly invited me, if I don't go, it seems a bit too disrespectful to you."

"After all, I'm the princess of the Tepesh family. Huh!"

The sweetness spreads on the tip of the tongue.

She chews a chocolate bar.

Cellinina said deadpan: "Come in, there's more."

Lothar's room.

Hannya came back from washing and put the towel and basin aside.

"If Flynn isn't here, would you like to come over and get close to me?"

Rare unsolicited invitation.

To Lothar's surprise, it was the first time that Hannya took the initiative since that night's trip to the bottom of the sea.

His heartbeat was a little violent, and he forced himself to calm down: "Tell me, how do you get close?"

"How do you want to get close?"

The corners of her mouth curled up: "Flynn will come back at some point, how do you think it would be more appropriate."

She stretched out her slender and jade-like palm: "I'll hold it for you."

...

Early morning three days later.

Lothar prepared chariots and horses, ready to return to Hebron with a group of hussars.

It was closer to Jerusalem, and Lothar planned to take some time to meet Baldwin IV, and let Hans go back to continue to control the Royal Knights instead of him.

The Empress Dowager's hand stretched too far, he planned to go back to frighten Xiaoxiao.

In addition, Hebron is also the core of his territory, and he intends to stay here instead of Ella Port.

Before leaving, Lothar called a few order knights left behind by him.

"Fabio, the situation in Port Ella is very stable. As a guard, you just need to develop step by step."

"If you are undecided, you can send more people to communicate with Coors."

Fabio used to be the housekeeper of Asuka Manor, and he is considered a rare internal affairs talent under Lothar. It can be evaluated as: talented, but not much.

But Coors is in Fir Orne, not far from the port of Ella.

Fabio respectfully said: "My lord, I understand, please rest assured."

"Ulm, the patrol officer has a heavy responsibility, and the port of Ella is in the border area, so you must not slack off."

Ulm also nodded respectfully and said, "My lord, I will keep my responsibilities in mind."

"Mueller, the commercial affairs of Port Ella are all up to you, and you need to worry about expanding the number of falconers."

Mueller said quickly: "My lord, I will definitely."

"Then I'll go."

Snapped--

Raise the whip, and the convoy drives away.

　You ask why I just hold hands?Too many are not allowed to write!

Sending a leg photo of Celinina was returned after review.

Terrible, terrifying.
