154, banquet
This dinner was held not at the Earl of River's castle, but at Lucas's own castle - the Golden Chicken Leg Castle.
The Golden Chicken Leg Fort is located directly south of the River Earl's Castle. The place where Lucas vented his vindictiveness after his last breakthrough was in the sky above the Golden Chicken Leg Fort.
On the way to Jon City, Lucio also warmly invited Sean to visit his home, but Sean was too busy and never had time to go.
So this time, it was also the first time for Sean to go to the Golden Chicken Leg Fort.
...
Not only Sean, but Windsor also changed into a dress to attend the dinner this time.
Sean asked Henry, the butler, to customize this dress for Windsor. After all, Windsor is considered a celebrity in the city of Jon, and it is inevitable to wear a dress when going to formal occasions.
It was precisely because Windsor had changed into a formal dress that the carriage was handed over to the original coachman to drive, while Windsor and Sean sat in the carriage.
The carriage Sean was riding in was followed by a truck, which contained 5 barrels of spirits as a gift to Lucas.
Among these 5 barrels of spirits, 4 barrels were distilled today, and the remaining 1 barrel was the first barrel of spirits distilled at the time, which has a high collection value.
Under Sean's arrangement, the silver attendant Monica rode beside the truck to prevent people with evil intentions.
...
Sitting in the carriage, Windsor also chatted with Sean word by word:
"Sir, we will meet His Highness Robert at today's dinner. What kind of person is His Highness Robert?"
"To be honest, I don't know very well." Sean shook his head.
"...Isn't he your biological brother? Why don't you even know about it?" Windsor looked at Sean in confusion.
"It was quite clear before, but I was seriously injured a month ago, and my previous memories are a bit blurry."
Sean explained, while he was also trying hard to search for some memory fragments of his predecessor: "But according to my impression, Robert is very self-righteous and willful, but all the children of the great aristocrats seem to be like this...other than that
, Robert seems to be a bit naive and has not experienced setbacks. After all, he is just a minor."
"Aren't you also an underage child?" Windsor complained in his heart.
However, Windsor did not say what he was thinking. He coughed twice and said, "Then how should we deal with him at the dinner party?"
"Well..."
After Sean thought for a while, he replied: "It would be better for us to avoid him at the dinner party later and try not to have contact with him. After all, his power is at the peak of his power now. We can't afford to offend him, so we can only avoid him as much as possible."
"What if he provokes you?" Windsor continued.
"If he provokes me, I'll just pretend I didn't hear him. Face is not as valuable as life, right?" Sean said with a smile.
However, Sean and Windsor did not continue talking, because Sean's carriage had already arrived outside the Golden Chicken Leg Fort.
Sean got off the carriage and looked outside. There were not many carriages in front of the castle gate. After all, it was still more than forty minutes before the dinner started, and many nobles had not arrived yet.
At this time, the top of the castle caught Sean's attention.
A huge luminous light group hung in the mid-air above the castle, like several multi-kilowatt spotlights bundled together to emit light, illuminating the entire ground as if it were daytime.
Seeing this big ball of light, Sean couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that Mr. Lucas is planning to hold the dinner party in the courtyard."
At this time, Windsor also got off the carriage and was surprised when he saw the huge light group in the sky:
"Sir, what is this huge light group? Is there... a Naaru here in this world?"
"It's not Naaru." Sean explained to Windsor: "I have read in books that this light group is a spell released by priests together. I can't remember the specific name of the spell.
However, this spell can provide long-term lighting to the ground. With this spell, nobles can hold large dinner parties outdoors."
The overall style of the Golden Chicken Leg Fort is almost the same as that of the Golden Wolf King Fort, but it is smaller in scale.
Lucas's breakthrough this time will definitely invite many nobles, and the Earl of Rivers had released the news of Lucas's imminent breakthrough a week ago, so many nobles from other cities will also come.
The hall will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, so it would be perfect to hold a dinner party in the courtyard.
...
At this time, Sean also noticed Lucio standing at the door, so he smiled and waved to Lucio.
But Windsor was still a little confused, so he asked: "Then why doesn't the banquet start at noon or afternoon but has to wait until the evening?"
The smile on Sean's face froze: "Because the dinner parties are all held in the summer, and the nights are cooler. Holding a banquet at noon or afternoon may burn people to death. And aristocrats always want something like that after they have had enough wine and food.
, it’s not convenient in the afternoon either.”
Sean explained vaguely to Windsor while pulling him towards Lucio who was standing at the gate.
...
Lucio and the butler Rubion were standing in front of the castle gate to receive guests.
Seeing Sean and Windsor arriving, Lucio and Rubion immediately came towards them:
"Your Highness Sean, Mr. Windsor, you are here so early!"
Sean joked with Lucio: "You can eat more if you come early. The first two times I went to the Golden Wolf King Castle, I was not full."
In fact, the real reason is that Sean had nothing to do at his residence, so he came early.
But when Sean mentioned "eating", Lucio immediately started talking:
"If nothing else, the chefs for this dinner are invited from the best chefs in the city of Yohn. Although they are not as good as the dishes in your "Palace Cookbook", the taste is passable. And this time we have also prepared a lot of precious dishes.
You must not miss the silver-level and gold-level Warcraft meat! And..."
Seeing that Lucio still wanted to continue talking, the butler Rubion next to him hurriedly coughed twice and interrupted:
"Your Highness Sean, welcome to your arrival! The dining table is mainly placed next to the fountain. The food is almost ready now. You can go there first if necessary."
Sean looked at Rubian, and suddenly thought of the IOU he carried with him, so he took out the IOU and handed it to Rubian: "Butler Rubian, I almost forgot to give you the loan contract."
Rubian took the IOU, looked at it, confirmed it was correct, and put it in his pocket.
At this time, the servants of the castle also came to the side of the truck and began to carry the gifts on the truck. Sean pointed to the barrels of spirits and said:
Chapter completed!
