Chapter 422, Morgiana's Dinner
Spring, Earl of Glamorgan, Fairy Tower in the Lake.
In the corridor of the tower, Ryan in earl's dress followed behind Morgiana, reporting to her a series of events that happened in Bordereau.
Morgiana was wearing a long silk dress with vanilla roses, a flower crown on her head, and a pair of bare feet floating in the air. She listened carefully to Ryan's report, and the witch of the lake frowned: "So, do you think the infiltrator It was Matthew Bard, and it was brought in by Fiona, the granddaughter of the Duke of Berleon?"
"Is there a second explanation?" Ryan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, there is no evidence."
Ryan told Morgiana what happened in detail, a series of things that happened from before the banquet started until the banquet ended hastily.
After the banquet, by checking the guest list and asking the guards, Fiona from Belaron was immediately listed as one of the suspects. First of all, her male companion Dominic mysteriously disappeared. This knight from the Principality of Belaron It was last seen at the edge of the turret, which is where the infiltrators absconded from the castle.
The guard also confirmed that Fiona rudely refused the guard's search when she was with Dominique, and the noblewoman was therefore placed under house arrest pending further judgment.
However, the next search was unexpected, that is, the real Dominic's body was found in the garden of the castle. Na claimed that she was also a victim, and she had no idea that Dominic had been killed.
Ryan knew that there must be something tricky in it. There is no doubt that Fiona brought Matthew Bud into the castle, but because the evidence was in Fiona's favor and she firmly claimed that she did not know, Fiona, who enjoyed privileges, therefore Released again, the girl immediately left Bordereau overnight, cursing, and returned to Boréon.
Many people at the banquet knew it well, but without definite evidence, they still couldn't judge a member of the family of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, so they could only let her go temporarily, keep the case and report it to the king and the lake god witch .
Only the king and the witch of the lake have the right to deal with Fiona.
For Ryan, this matter is not over yet. He happened to discuss this matter with Morgiana, how to lower the punishment and use the relationship between Fiona and Matthew Bud to make some fuss, because only Suria knew Matthew The relationship between Bud and Fiona.
He had told Morgiana about this at the time, so he is now looking for Morgiana.
Morgiana was very happy to see that Ryan did not come to see her on the "every Sunday" appointment. The Lake God Witch immediately said that the two of us can cook together tonight and do some cooking, and it turned out that Ryan was here to report the situation The attitude immediately changed a lot.
Immediately afterwards, after Ryan promised to leave after dinner in the evening, Morgiana's face turned from anger to joy, and she began to listen to Ryan's report seriously.
The mood of this Highness the Lake God Witch is really fickle, Ryan thought so.
"I also know about Fiona." Morgiana walked to Ryan. She thought about the cause and effect, but felt that the problem was complicated: "Ryan, this is not Kurona. In Kurona, I can Let the Holy Grail Knights arrest Fiona for questioning. Not now, Fiona has returned to the Principality of Belaron, and she is naturally protected by the kingdom's laws. Ms. Oracle, the first generation of the twelve Holy Grail Knight families have no major crimes and exact Evidence cannot be accused, nor can it be punished in private, I was not there at the time,
You are doing nothing wrong. "
"That's why that woman dared to directly provoke me and dared to bring Matthew Bud into the banquet scene. She was nothing more than relying on the grace of her ancestors." Ryan nodded helplessly: "Of course, the vampires are well prepared, and neither are we." There is definite evidence that Fiona has a relationship with vampires, even if I hadn't overheard their conversation in the windmill at that time, I would not have thought of it so much."
Some things are always frustrating, such as what happened to Ryan, Britannia has very strict requirements for punishment of knights, especially the family of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, there is no conclusive evidence And it will be tried by the king or the lake god witch, and no one has the right to imprison, arrest, or interrogate these noble members.
The twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knight families were not charged with treason or blasphemy, and were not charged and sentenced.
With the relationship between Ryan and the fairy in the lake, if Ryan insists on imposing treason and blasphemy on Fiona, he may barely be able to do it, but if he does this, he is not worthy of being a Holy Grail Knight, because he will What's the difference from Fiona, who is relying on her family background to act mischievously?
Just like in his previous life, he saw that many people hated certain privileged people the most, and they cursed on the surface but envied them inwardly. This truth.
Human beings are always repeating the same tragedy, and they will always turn into what they hated the most. These people will still plausibly say: "The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it?"
Ryan would never do such a thing.
But that doesn't mean Ryan has nothing to do with Fiona's arrogance.
"Fiona obviously has a connection with Matthew Bud. This connection may be active or passive, but it doesn't matter. We should turn passive into active. My Highness, please order that the Lake God Prophet Fiona launched an investigation, and we have enough reasons to suspect that she was in collusion with vampires, and during the investigation, she was temporarily deprived of her privileges as a member of the first generation of the twelve Holy Grail Knights." Ryan's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "Only The investigation needs to be extended, and Fiona will truly experience the consequences of losing her family identity, which will definitely make her feel overwhelmed, and this is our opportunity."
"Yes." Morgana immediately understood Ryan's thoughts.
In essence, this kind of investigation can't find anything, but it doesn't matter, Ryan doesn't hope to find anything. What he really wants is to tear off the coat and aura of the Duke of Berleon's family on Fiona.
From enjoying a high status to being investigated because of suspicion, the identity gap is extremely huge. Ryan knows Fiona. With her delicate personality and nurturing dignity, she must not be able to bear this. After a long time, She must have subconsciously turned to others for help.
Who are you looking for? Duke Theodoric?
That guy has already summoned more than two hundred knights to go to the Lake Fairy Monastery in Bastogne for confinement.
All that's left is Matthew Budd.
Morgiana understood the ferocity of Ryan's method after a little association. This method conformed to the laws of the kingdom and the rules of the fairies in the lake, but it had a unique vibe of a ruthless court veteran. The sixth person who came to Britannia In the early 2000s, the God of Choice champion in his early thirties gradually matured politically.
Ryan came to the fairy tower in the lake mainly to discuss this matter with Morgiana. After the agreement, Ryan relaxed, and the two walked through the corridor. He casually asked Morgiana: "My Your Highness, are you feeling better recently?"
"Moving is no longer a problem, and most of my magic power has recovered. At present, my strength has probably returned to the peak of legend. If I want to restore my divine power in its heyday, I must find the holy grail of medicine." Seeing that Ryan cared about herself, Mogiana looked good After a while, she replied casually: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine staying here, you just need to come in on time to accompany me."
"Find the Holy Grail of Medicine? I don't know where the vampires put the Holy Grail of Medicine. Maybe we need to send people to Mu Xilong to investigate." Ryan is very concerned about the recovery of Morgiana's strength. The power of the Lake God Witch is enough to change the situation. The national fortune of the entire knight kingdom, whether it is on the battlefield or on weekdays.
"It's not clear where the Holy Grail of Medicine is stored by the vampire. I still need some time to recover until I can sense where the Holy Grail of Medicine is. When I have a clue, I will naturally notify you."
"Okay." Ryan and Morgana entered the restaurant, and the ingredients were already placed in the kitchen.
This is not the first time Ryan has tasted Morgiana's culinary skills. Since moving to live in the tower of the Fairy in the Lake, Morgiana has been quite leisurely, except for occasionally promulgating oracles and admonitions from the Fairy in the Lake. Apart from the expeditionary knight seeking enlightenment, most of the time is very free, and her main thing to do is to tend the herb garden and a small vineyard left by the fairy of the lake.
For some purpose, she started to practice cooking, and Morgiana gradually tried to make food and some pastries, and made them for Ryan to taste on the days when he came here every week.
The decoration of the restaurant in the tower has a very obvious high elf style. It pays attention to embellishing the building in nature, and emphasizes the natural return of the soul in the design, giving people a strong atmosphere that rushes to the face. The open space structure, flowers and green plants everywhere, finely carved furniture, etc., all create an idyllic atmosphere as a whole. Whether it's the delicate flowers in the design of the bedside table lamp, or a slightly shaking rocking chair in front of the window, in any corner, you can feel the owner's leisurely life and sunny mood.
The layout of the restaurant is very clear. The dining tables and chairs are all beige, with slightly carved patterns on the surface. Matching the curved curvature of the armrests and chair legs, it looks elegant and luxurious. White curly curtains, crystal chandeliers, and floor lamps , Lilies in vases, a sense of romance and freshness blows to the face.
"Ryan, try it." Morgiana opened the oven and took out the baked Breton pie from the oven. The beautiful and cool face of the Lake Goddess Witch was slightly happy at this time , She put a plate of pies in front of Ryan: "The first dish tonight is a traditional dish from the north of Brittania, which is the famous Cornish pie."
The golden-yellow dumpling-like skin is covered with hot fillings. Ryan took the pie from Mogiana, took a bite, and quickly narrowed his eyes: "Delicious, um...beef , kale, potatoes, onions, and pepper, Morgiana, did you add a little pepper?"
"Remove the smell of pepper." Seeing that Ryan liked it, the always cold and serious Lake God Witch simply wrote the word "happy" on her face. She sat beside Ryan, clasped her hands and clasped her fingers on the table: " Cornish pasties come from Connecticut, and the inventors are the Cornish family, the Lawne-Leo Cornish family, this kind of pie is not difficult to make, and it is also one of the traditional delicacies after the founding of the country.”
"It's really delicious, soft and delicious, with a moderate taste." Ryan nodded again and again, and the Earl ate two pies.
Next, Morgiana brought charcoal-grilled lamb chops and fish and potato chips. Ryan heard from Morgiana that recently the Lake God Witch was studying various dishes along the coast of northern Britannia.
Unlike the rich and fertile south of Brittania, the northern coast of Brittania is not rich in products due to the perennial plunder of northern barbarian pirates and dark elf pirates. The food of the local people is relatively simple, especially The workmanship is very simple, the pursuit of quick completion and immediate consumption, locals like pies, pies, French fries, barbecue and fish jelly such simple foods.
If it is in the south of Britannia, the delicate taste of the dishes, the delicious sauces, and the gorgeous tableware display here can be called an art. There are many types, and the cooking methods are also unique.
The two used a knife and fork to cut the lamb chops. The tender oil flowers and oil tendons smelled good under the cutting of the silver knife and fork. Ryan gently forked a piece of lamb chops. He saw that Morgiana also picked up the knife Fork, decided to start the topic: "By the way, Duke Theodoric committed such a big crime, I thought that there would not be too many knights in his duchy to support him, but I heard that there are hundreds of knights who want to follow him." he."
"Theodoric de Bryon is a direct descendant of Balduin, the first Duke of Bryon. As you know, Theodoric is a drunkard and a pervert." Mogiana replied Ryan's question, her face was a little tangled: "However, what you may not be aware of is that Duke Theodoric is also a very powerful warrior."
"I know that." Ryan nodded. He was chewing the lamb chops in his mouth. He had never seen the bravery of Duke Theodoric with his own eyes. There are indeed a lot of news in the kingdom. Holding a battle ax blessed by the fairy of the lake, he harvests the enemies. He neither uses a lance nor a sword and shield. I don’t know how many powerful enemies are on the spot under his big axe. In terms of martial arts and brute force , he is also one of the most powerful fighters in Brittania.
In the Knights Conference many years ago, the final contender was François vs. Theodoric. It is said that Theodoric is still worried about losing to Francois, which is enough to prove his strength.
It's a pity that this person is a pervert, especially fond of all kinds of unrequited love, and it is no accident that he was found to have had affairs with many noble ladies.
"Theodoric acted like two people. On the battlefield, he was proud and brave. Every time he fought, he would personally lead the charge, and every time he returned with injuries. He was very good to his soldiers and often fought with the knights. Even the sergeants sat and ate together and shared the joys and sorrows, which made many knights in Berleon regard him as an idol and a role model. In life, Theodoric was a poetry lover and the biggest patron of bards. He himself also loves to create poetry, especially those that praise forbidden love affairs." Mogiana continued: "This made his evaluation in the principality polarized. There are many people who like him, many people hate him, and a large number of opponents called When he got out of the principality, Theodoric would never lack supporters."
"Well." Ryan knows that a person cannot be viewed simply as good or bad, and people are always complicated.
The atmosphere of the dinner party of the Witch of the Lake God was harmonious and harmonious. Watching Ryan eating the dinner she made, Morgiana felt satisfied. After several dishes were served, Mogiana took out an iron plate from the oven: "This is The last dish, Lane, is the most famous dish in northern Brittany."
Ryan carefully observed the iron plate. The food in the iron plate looked like a toast with bacon, parsley and onion on top.
That's not the point.
The point is, eight heads of fried sardines stick out from the inside of the pancake. These "cute" faces are all facing up, with their mouths half-opened, looking at the ceiling.
"This dish is called 'Looking at the Stars,' try it, Ryan."
