Chapter 158 Snow Carp Dream

"General, do you mean I can also get a title?" Grote asked in surprise.

In the conversation just now, he heard Ryan specifically talk about matters related to merit points.

"The new title system of the empire is divided into ten levels. You have a chance in the last five levels, but it will be more difficult to continue." Ryan shook his head slightly, "But the treatment of merit will not change much, and it will generally satisfy most people."

He and Swain discussed the future policy of the empire in detail. Simply relying on aggression to distribute benefits will obviously not work all the time.

In the future, there will be less and less land, and there will be more and more Noxians.

The pace of external plunder will be slowed down, and the speed of internal development will be accelerated.

In order to make the empire transition smoothly, it is most appropriate to let former veterans be the first participants.

The active soldiers will gradually retire, and when they see the benefits of the veterans, they will be happy to join this system spontaneously.

"I am already very satisfied with the title." Groot suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly: "Can the title be inherited by Seth?"

"He will be better than you in the future." Ryan said calmly.

Groot was slightly stunned, and soon laughed out loud: "Hahaha, yes, he will be better than me. His father and my merits should be enough for him to join the commander's talent plan."

"Does he have his own ideas?" Ryan smiled faintly.

"That kid wants to join the army. But Zhao Xin and others come here often, and I can hear from their words that the requirements for recruiting soldiers are much higher than before." Groot shook his head.

He didn't think Seth couldn't meet the requirements, but he didn't want to see his old friend's son follow the old path of himself and others.

"Administrative is not bad, he has good ability to treat people, and the commander will arrange it for him." Ryan said.

He and Swain have always felt guilty about their comrades who died in Presidium.

It took them five years to return to the center of power in the empire, drive Darkwill off the throne, execute him, and seek justice for their comrades.

The empire needs to be integrated and the future direction needs to be re-determined.

Only after this can they free up their hands to go to Ionia again.

"The administration is good. I can watch him grow up safely, and I am not letting Hayden down." Grot had a complicated expression.

The relationship between him and Hayden was extremely complicated, from disliking each other to being friends of life and death in the end.

"Knock! Knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the door of the room was pushed open.

Seth walked in with a large tray, with a little apology on his face:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Since I didn't prepare in advance, I only had time to serve some ordinary dishes."

In fact, Seraphine had already greeted her, but facing the most powerful person in the empire, Seth still felt nervous.

Especially since his father had served under the other party, and every time he came back, he would tell about the other party's great achievements.

"As Hayden's child, he doesn't want to see you being so cowardly." Ryan said with a smile.

Seth paused slightly while placing the dishes, but soon returned to his original position, and this time his tone was firm:

"General, my name is Seth Hayden!"

"Not bad, it looks a bit good, just be firm in your own ideas."

Ryan chuckled, as if thinking of the past:

"At that time, I thought that all the people in Piltover were like your father. When I went to Piltover, I was disappointed by the people there."

"Can you tell me about it?"

Seth placed the dishes neatly, with a little curiosity in his tone.

Both his parents were from Piltover, and he had a vague impression of his mother, and his father seemed to be a pure Noxian.

Many Piltover women had come to the store, and they all looked like gentlemen, not as bad as Ryan said.

"Take this dish of "Snow Carp Dream" as an example. Piltover's method is completely different from yours."

Ryan raised his chin slightly, pointing to the pure white snow carp on the table.

The big fish plate contained a whole snow carp, which was supported by a rack and flew up.

It was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, magnificent and majestic.

"We will put the whole fish on a plate to highlight its overall majestic beauty."

"But the Piltover people are different. They will shave all the fish meat and make it into small fish, and put one on each small plate, and decorate it with various beautiful and delicious seasonings, which makes people feel relaxed and happy." Ryan added.

"Is that so?" Seth nodded suddenly.

If Ryan didn't point it out, he would not realize the difference between the two.

The personality and attitude towards life of people in different regions can be seen from diet, clothing and other aspects.

Noxians admire grandeur and dignity, while Piltover is beautiful in its exquisiteness.

"Dream of Snow Carp" is a famous dish in Piltover, cooked with a unique pure white snow carp in the Dividing River.

Eating this fish meat will cause hallucinations, and some beautiful things will emerge in the mind.

But the effect is not strong and will not be addictive.

"Teacher, try it quickly and see if there is any difference from what Piltover makes." Seraphine urged.

Her saliva was about to drip, but the two teachers did not move, and she could not eat it directly.

Ryan looked at his apprentice with a smile, and took the lead in picking up a delicate spoon, scooping a small spoon from the belly of the fish, and put it into his mouth.

A fragment flashed through his mind in an instant. In the library on the top floor of the Mage Tower, magic books surrounded him and Sindra. The two flipped through their own books at the same time, occasionally expressing their own opinions and ideas.

The scene flashed by, but it made Ryan smile slightly.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"It melts in your mouth, and the special effects can burst out in an instant. It can be regarded as a masterpiece."

He nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Seth.

In Seraphine's greedy eyes, Sindra also moved.

Her slender index finger slightly hooked the fish, and a small piece of fish meat was automatically peeled off and flew lightly in the direction where she was sitting.

Ryan noticed a scene, and the index finger on the table was slightly raised, and the fish meat flying in the middle was covered with a thin layer of frost, like a lightly flying ice butterfly.

Sindra's tender red lips slightly opened, and the moment before the "Ice Butterfly" slid into her mouth, it was a beautiful picture, the fish meat was crystal clear, and the red lips were delicate and juicy.

This moment was a collision of ice and fire, and even the coldness melted a little.

Finally, the "Ice Butterfly" slid into her mouth with a slight coolness and fragrance.

The sound of the spring water dripping echoed in her mind. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she could feel someone approaching her.

Before she was sealed, she made a vow to destroy Ionia and create a pure land where she could freely display her talents.

She felt the call of magic, and she was awakened from her slumber by him.

Just when she thought it was another weak fool, she unexpectedly found that he was her own kind.

A mage who was pursuing the end of magic.

She accepted his invitation and wanted to see if that magical heyday would really come.

The picture quickly disappeared, but the memory always remained in her mind and could not be forgotten.

Seeing that Sindra was also satisfied, Seraphine could no longer hold back and stretched out a small spoon to feed it to her mouth.

However, she also knew the limit, and only took a little at a time, just to satisfy her mouth.

The fish meat entered her mouth and melted before she chewed it. At that moment, a series of pictures emerged in her mind spontaneously.

There was her singing to her heart's content amid the cheers of the crowd, and there was her saving people from suffering.

"Really good!" Seraphine sighed after savoring it.

"Hahaha, every time I eat this, I will think of the time when I fought with the general and the commander. Ah, those days are really nostalgic." Grot said.

His face showed a look of reminiscence, and the corners of his mouth had a smile from the heart. It can be seen that this veteran of Trifal still has deep feelings for his military career.

"Maybe there will be a chance." Ryan did not comment.

"Then Seth and I will not disturb the general's meal. Please feel free to tell me if you need me." Grot said.

"Go ahead." Ryan just nodded slightly and watched Groot close the door and leave the room.

While tasting the food, Seraphine asked curiously:

"Teacher, can you tell me what happened during the war before?"

She had heard before that her teacher was the most glorious person in the current empire, not only because he was very powerful, but also because he had won countless wars.

"There is nothing to say about the war, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and everyone fought for their own beliefs." Ryan obviously didn't want to mention too much.

War symbolizes glory, but the process is extremely cruel.

"What about magic?" Seraphine blinked and asked, "Is there any shortcut to condense runes?"
