The manor built on the riverside is large in scope, with wine cellars, water wheels, a livestock stocking area and a vast vegetable garden.

Usually these buildings and their servants perform their duties and do not interfere with each other.

But at this moment, the servants were busy completely around the four-story rectangular building with a white body in the center of the manor.

Cattle and sheep are selected from the animal husbandry area, and then slaughtered by blood. Various precious spices are transferred from the warehouse to the kitchen, and some fruits and vegetables are constantly processed into rich foods such as barbecue, soup, desserts, etc.

Many young or older servants were busy around all this, and plates of exquisite dishes were brought into a spacious hall in the main building.

Bernie was sitting at a small table in the front area of ​​the hall, where two people could sit. Next to him was the young nobleman Livay Camborre, who invited him this morning.

After arriving at the manor with their neighbors, they were welcomed by the owner of the manor, but today's theme was a banquet, so after other guests arrived one after another, the brief conversation had to end and the dinner officially started.

The dinner party has just begun, and Bernie is surrounded by exquisite carved dining tables in groups of two, standing neatly in this restaurant.

Most of these people are side branches and descendants of the Camborre family, and some nobles with good relationships nearby participated. Because today they mainly entertained several new clergy, their existence is naturally indispensable.

But it was not just the new ones who came to participate, but there were actually several senior deacons.

Overall, it was very lively. Looking around, dozens of people gathered in the hall, with people surging, but they were also in order.

"This is a crispy grilled trout with almonds. The main ingredients are golden scale trout, which is specialized in El Bay. It uses parsley, fennel and brown onions to match it. The fish bones have been picked out. The fish meat is moist, soft and tender, and the flavor of a mixture of lemon and almonds."

When the maid brought the dishes one by one, the young noble sitting next to him kept explaining, looking very welcoming.

...

"This is baked quail with butter, honey and black pepper. Peel the stomach and you can see some apple strips, which taste very delicious, especially its sauce."

...

"This is honey pear, with cumin and white pepper, and this roasted bear meat is best..."

...

Bernie thanked and tasted the dishes. The taste buds collided with the taste of various dishes, and it felt really good.

However, the nobles' banquets often not only fill their stomachs normally. After a while, an old nobleman in velvet trumpet-sleeved clothing sitting in the main hall stood up.

"Today we invited several distinguished guests from the local church, including Deacon Blaze of Poven Church, Deacon Bernie of Morse Church, Deacon Marvin of Bennett Church and…"

The old nobleman said many names in a row, and finally he held up the wine glass in his hand.

"Let's give them a cup!"

The guests stood up to respond, and the atmosphere became much warmer.

However, the old man did not sit back after drinking a glass of wine, but signaled the woman serving next to him to pour another glass.

Then he raised his hand to his guests again, "Although we are not present, we still need to respect our respected Bishop Rhodes and the Attorney..."

He took the lead in tribute to some of the main figures of the diocese, and then to other guests present. With the continuous words, the atmosphere of the banquet was already quite strong.

The old man is Charles Camborey, the current count of the Camborey family, nicknamed the knowledgeable Charles. He worked as a consultant to the king in the early years in the kingdom. He was an old nobleman who was famous in the kingdom.

He is also the nominal lord of Neham, and his words and deeds can determine the fate of many people.

However, this erudite, who has a high reputation and power in the local area, is already old. Before the banquet started, Bernie had a brief exchange with him and found that he was even a little confused.

Now, although this person is quite decent, after drinking a few glasses of wine, his voice is obviously a little vague and knotted, and his originally steady body begins to sway.

"I also want to honor our king, His Majesty Edie, although, uh--though we had a bad time because of drinking..."

...

"Because my father drank a glass of wine while working, the king fired him."

The young nobleman sitting next to him whispered to Bernie: "Every time he holds a banquet, he will apologize to the king."

"Reflecting on one's own faults for a long time is the behavior of a wise man."

Bernie nodded.

"Yes, my father can't let go of this matter, thinking that if he had restrained himself, he wouldn't have-"

Before the young nobleman finished speaking, the old man who was speaking in the hall changed his tone and accused someone of sarcasm.

"I actually have to thank our "respectable" queen. If it weren't for her original suggestion, his majesty wouldn't have realized how "serious" my mistakes were. So in recent years I have always reflected on my own mistakes, although I don't understand the difference between a glass of wine and a glass of water..."

These words made the young noble shut their mouths awkwardly.

Because it was involved in the queen, it was difficult for others to take care of it, and the atmosphere was a little cool. But then the old earl changed the subject and began to praise the contributions of the local church.

The banquet was thus restored to its liveliness.

"Is there any clue about Mitchell's affairs?" Bernie was not interested in getting involved in this topic. After a few glances, he talked about something else with the young nobles next to him.

"The worst plan has been made in the family."

The young nobleman looked a little unnatural when he heard this, "After all, after so long, my younger brother may not have survived much."

"Maybe he's just lost his way." Bernie said casually.

He was actually waiting for some possible situations at this banquet, or he had long noticed that something was wrong with the person around him, so he was waiting for something to happen.

But at present, there seems to be no signs.

Until a "pearl" contained in a small silver cup was carefully brought up by the maid.

"Believe me, nothing is more delicious than a sea mermaid egg."

The young nobleman next to him introduced this.

It is said to be a mermaid egg, but this thing looks nothing different from a pearl except that it is a little soft. It is packed in a cup-like container and does not smell any fragrance.

But although it is inconspicuous, when this dish is brought to people one after another, the atmosphere here is obviously more warm.

There are several breeds of deep-sea mermaids. The mermaid eggs in front of you are just the eggs of the most common gilled mermaids, but this cannot stop people from eating them.

The reason is not only because this kind of unpretentious food tastes very delicious, but also the influence of countless years of hatred between the Faros and the Sea tribes.

Eat the mermaid eggs, which is a very popular and symbolic fashion among the aristocratic class of Faros.

However, unlike the others present, Bernie was not interested in eating the thing in front of him.

The reason is very simple, aphrodisiacs were applied here.
