Chapter 196 The So-Called Foodie

"Your Highness has kept you waiting for a long time..." Niya said to Roland apologetically, and clapped her hands gently as she spoke. Immediately, a young Centaur girl came up gently holding a delicate wooden plate.

"Your Highnesses, please try the special delicacies of the centaur tribe. I hope it will satisfy your appetite." Niya sat down gracefully. Her tall figure and body of a centaur and a half horse did not make anyone feel awkward at all.

"Thank you." Roland and Nyx nodded in greeting, their eyes filled with wonder.

As expected, the two of them were not disappointed. The craftsmanship of the centaurs lived up to expectations! A simple dish of honey-glazed ribs won Nicks' heart.

The wide wild boar ribs are drained of blood and then grilled over fruit charcoal. When grilled until slightly burnt, they are brushed with pure honey and sprinkled with Centaur-specific condiments. When served to the table, they are fragrant and full of flavor. The sweet and salty flavor made them feel very palatable.

"How is it okay?" Niya looked at the satisfied expressions of the two and asked with a smile on her face.

"Yeah! It's very good! This should be the secret recipe of your centaurs, right?" Roland actually tasted the taste of the sweet and sour pork ribs on this honey-glazed ribs, which immediately made Roland feel like crying.

"It's not really a secret recipe, it's just that the seasoning is unique to our centaurs! But because we keep migrating, there aren't many seasonings left." Niya said sadly.

"The most important herb in this herb-based seasoning requires artificial cultivation. We often migrate due to various reasons, so there are not many days when we can successfully harvest them." Niya also cut off a piece of ribs. Chew carefully into the mouth.

"If you are willing to live here for a long time, as long as you abide by the laws of the kingdom and fulfill your obligations, your safety will be guaranteed by the kingdom." Roland said casually.

"Of course, it would be great if you are willing to protect us! I would like to thank you on behalf of my husband and all the people of the Centaur tribe." Niya was moved. She knew that as a king, once his promise was exported, it would mean that it was irreversible. Breach of oath.

"If the kingdom wants to go to war... we can bring out 50 horse knights!" Niya gritted her teeth and said to Roland.

"Huh?" Roland was surprised. The price of reciprocating a favor was a bit high. You must know that these 50 centaurs cost almost half of the centaur's prime life.

"Forget it, there is no need to send troops. It is difficult for your people to protect themselves due to the number of people. It would be too difficult for you to send 50 centaur knights." Roland shook his head and rejected her kindness. Roland did not want to catch all the benefits, even if he himself There is no need for an army of centaurs in this life, but at least one day his descendants can use it. When hundreds of centaurs charge towards the enemy with the same purpose, Roland believes that his descendants will be grateful for his decision.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness...but we can't help you much." Niya was moved but also a little ashamed.

"It's okay, oh! By the Dragon God! My dear, you are such a greedy little cat!" Roland was talking and suddenly turned his head to look at the table, and was immediately shocked by the way Nyx was eating!

It's hard to imagine that a noble nobleman like Nyx would pick up a piece of spareribs and devour it, with the thick honey sauce smeared all over his cheeks.

"Hmm... so... delicious! It tastes much better than what the chef in the castle makes!" Nyx hummed happily while trying to stuff food into his mouth.

"Haha... funny..." Roland smiled awkwardly at Niya, his eyes full of doting and helplessness.

"Your Highness, you can try this leaf dew! It's very refreshing and relieves greasiness." Niya smiled and gently pushed a clay pot, and the faint sound of liquid inside could be heard.

"Thank you." Roland took the jar and carefully poured a cup of Renma's special leaf dew for Nyx.

"Huh? Centaur Yelu?" Nyx raised the cup curiously and took a sip. The moment Ye Lu entered his throat, Nyx's eyes widened.

"Hmm...it tastes good!" Nyx leaned happily on Roland's shoulder.

"Hey! My... clothes." Roland looked helplessly at his shoulders covered in honey.

"Girl! Did you do this on purpose? Use my clothes as a napkin?" Roland reluctantly took the wet wipes handed by the waiter and tapped Nyx's head. He said helplessly, the key is just forget it! Still rubbing it!

"Hey! I didn't mean it on purpose!" Nicks acted coquettishly and tried to pass the test by being cute.

"Hey... you win! I will wear plate armor next time!" Roland pretended to be angry.

"Okay, don't be angry. Try this biscuit?" Nyx handed the biscuit in his hand to Roland's mouth as if coaxing a child.

"Hey..." Roland sighed immediately.

"Try this, the fried pheasant is really good!" Nicks pointed at Roland with his bulging mouth and pointed at several golden and crispy fried chickens in front of him. These fried chickens are made from selected full-term chicks. But unlike those artificial instant chickens in previous lives, the meat is quite tender and delicious.

…

After a sumptuous meal, Roland finally realized the fighting power of girls when it comes to delicious food! He was truly a foodie, and Roland even felt that this girl Nicks ate more than he did!

"Your Highness's guest room is ready. Do you want to take a lunch break with His Highness the Grand Duke?" Niya said.

"Okay..." before Roland finished speaking, Nyx came out.

"No need! I want to go fishing in the nearby stream with Roland, but he always won't let me play in the Swift River, saying that the water is too deep and there are monsters and the like!" Nyx pouted with dissatisfaction. road.

"Of course, Your Highness. In fact, there is a creek outside the entire village, and the fish in it are plump! I think you will like it." Niya pointed in a direction and said to Nyx.

"Thank you for your guidance! Let's go, dear?" the last sentence of Nyx was addressed to Roland.

"Oh! Your Majesty the Dragon God!" Roland wanted to express that he was already a grown man and was no longer the age to fish for fish.

"What? Do you think it's disrespectful to the king's majesty? Don't you always say that men are young until they die?" Nyx winked and said to Roland.

"Okay, I'm done with you, girl." Roland had no choice but to follow with a wry smile on his face.

This was very painful for the accompanying knights and centaurs. They checked the entire stream area on three levels inside and outside. For the joy of the two highnesses, these hard-working soldiers diligently inspected every bush.

"Wow!" Nyx happily raised a splash of water. The stream in late spring was still a little cool, but it didn't feel uncomfortable at all for professionals like Roland and Nyx. After all, they have extraordinary physiques. Moreover, as a water mage, Nyx is a master of water control.

"Bang!" A huge water ball flew down and hit Roland directly on the head. Fortunately, Roland reacted quickly. Under the protection of the hot and sacred holy attribute war energy, the water ball could not contaminate Roland at all.
