Chapter 92 Appetite determines strength
A thin and beautiful court servant immediately bent down deeply, with a respectful and serious expression, saying: "It's the fault of the chair! I'll change you a new one! As for this thing that dares to become smaller, I will punish you if I drag it down!"
Philip waved his big hand and said, "No need! Eating is important, let's talk about it after meals!" He picked up a special high-legged 'cup' the size of an ice bucket, poured all the aperitifs that were equivalent to a bottle and a half of them into his mouth. Then he waved his left hand again, and eight plates of high-rise pre-dinner snacks disappeared into the bottomless mouth.
The maids immediately went up one after another, skillfully and quickly removed the empty plate, and then served the main dishes one by one. Judging from their quick skills alone, they were at least as good as a level 4 or 5 ranger or assassin. The dining table where ten main dishes were placed at the same time seemed large, but in front of the emperor, but it seemed very ordinary. When the maids uncovered the lids of the silver plate, the main dishes were filled with large pieces of blood-stuck ribs. I don’t know what kind of meat it was, and even the maids who served here for more than three years could not fully recognize each type of meat. Although there were patterns carefully outlined by flowers and sauce on the edge of the plate, the ribs themselves were almost all raw.
This is the emperor's favorite, half-cooked grilled steak.
Philip's eyes lit up. He grabbed a rib and threw it into the air. The strange bird immediately flew down and grabbed the ribs, and took them back to his rack to peck them hard. The emperor himself began to eliminate pieces of blood-borne flesh weighing kilograms at an astonishing speed. However, he was extremely quiet when he was eating, and he could hardly hear any chewing sounds. This was the closest place to the aristocratic style in the table etiquette of the Alliance Emperor's dining room. As for the thick and hard bones in the ribs, they disappeared silently like flesh, deep in the emperor's throat.
Another court minister cleared his throat and began to tell the past day in a singing voice, mainly an important event that occurred when the emperor was sleeping at night: "The gray dwarfs and orcs allied forces sneaked into the Thor Fortress at night, and of course they were knocked back... Your direct territory, the Manro plane, has just completed the first tax collection this year, and the total amount of tax is considered xxxooo... The Archmond family held an internal family trial meeting last night..."
"Wait!" Philip swallowed his mouth full of flesh with difficulty, and said, "You said just now, Goton killed his son Wallin?"
"Yes!"
Philip stopped the knife and fork rarely, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that Richard is interesting. Gordon wants him to be the heir. What do you know about Richard?"
"His teacher is Su Hailun..."
"What?!" With a pounce, the emperor sprayed out a bite of the meat that had not been chewed.
The court ministers were also shocked, but he waved his hand immediately, and the maids rushed up to pack up a mess of tables. At the same time, they issued an order to let the kitchen prepare ten more entrees of main courses. He grabbed Philip behind him and beat the emperor's back hard. The reaction at this moment was full of his strength in the position of the court ministers.
Philip coughed a few times, spit out half of the unchewed bone, and then gasped and asked, "Which Su Helen..."
The court minister carefully replied: "It is the guardian of the alliance, you personally enthroned it..."
The emperor's face was gloomy and he asked, "Have she changed recently?"
The intelligence of the legendary wizard is naturally the level that needs to be paid attention to the most, so the court officials immediately replied: "I heard that His Highness Su Hailun has been exploring deep in the plane recently, and has not returned to the deep blue for a long time."
The emperor's face looked a little better. He stopped eating rarely. Looking at the table with ribs, he said with some melancholy: "Oh, this woman... she came to the door and actually wanted to compete with me for food..."
"Of course you won a great victory!" said the court minister immediately. This is not entirely a compliment.
The emperor snorted and said for a long time: "It's just a small victory... no, it's just a narrow victory."
"You are such a great monarch who can beat the legendary wizard!" The court ministers ignored the emperor's tone and continued to praise him.
"That time was just a good luck. If she came to her again, the outcome might be. Never underestimate a legend, even if it's a appetite!" the emperor scolded.
"Of course! Of course!" The court minister Lianlian said yes.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's do this, you can prepare a ton of dragon ribs in a while and give them to Richard in my name, and say it's a meal for him!"
"One ton of dragon ribs!" The court minister took a breath of exaggeration and expressed his opposition in a tactful way: "Is it too much? How can he eat it? Moreover, the stock of dragon ribs in your kitchen is less than one hundred tons."
Philip waved his big hand impatiently: "As I said, your appetite determines strength! Can the little guy Su Hailun likes can't even eat this little thing? But there is really not much inventory in the kitchen... Let's do this, find a way to buy it first, and at the same time, let General Gao Mo take people and hunt a few dragons, don't have the green dragon, the meat of that thing is sour! He knows my taste!"
After saying that, Philip thought about it again and said to the elderly and thin deputy secretary of finance, who was standing on the other side, "You go to my warehouse to find out what magical protective gear you can defend yourself, and give it to Richard with two pieces and dragon ribs! It doesn't have to be too good, it's enough to show my attitude. After all, Gordon is also a royal party. We cannot let his new heirs have an accident in Ukiyo-e, or those idiots who caused the accident after that will not have to pay any price."
"What should I do about Falk this time?" the court minister who had reported earlier inquired.
"Leave it to the old guys in the parliament. Let's not care. Let Joseph and Archmond play first!" After saying that, Philip continued to deal with his breakfast. The second round of ten main dishes were served again, and the half-cooked barbecue steak was still there.
After the trial meeting, Richard found that people's eyes were changing when they looked at him, with more envy and jealousy, and almost no direct hostility or disdain. When they met on the road, there was a significant increase in people who took the initiative to say hello, and their attitude was more respectful than before.
However, Richard has now obtained a magic lab for him to use, where he can draw magic pattern structures or conduct some intermediate and below magic experiments. The laboratory is also equipped with two assistants and three errand-runners. At the same time, Gordon also assigned Richard four young and powerful infantry knights for Richard to study the transformation of the knights.
Just after lunch time, Richard hurried to his magic lab. It was less than two hours before he received the distribution notice. Magic is very attractive to Richard, at least much larger than the surname Archmond. The road from residence to the magic lab is very short, after all, the entire floating island is not very big. There are three magic labs on the floating island, which are built on the edge of the floating island for safety reasons and are protected by two whistle towers with giant magic crossbows. This can prevent foreign enemies and also minimize the range of impacts in the magic lab when it explodes.
Richard's magic laboratory is a three-story building with a very small area. The first floor is the office and rest area for assistants and servants. The second floor is the warehouse for storing magic materials, and the third floor is his exclusive laboratory. After walking up to the third floor and entering the laboratory, Richard's eyebrows suddenly frowned.
