69. Visit without accident
Due to the large number of participants, Lance did not waste time when signing up for auditions. Everyone allocated a kitchen knife and asked them to pick bones and cut meat for the ingredients.
The first level is the competition of knife skills.
As a peerless chef, you must pass the knife skills, otherwise the thickness of the cut is uneven, which will affect the beauty of the dish, and the temperature is still missing. Lance uses this as a guide as the first round of the selection.
After saying this magnificently sounding words, Lance sat back to the position with the presiding sign and whispered to several other judges.
"Lord Lancelot is really far-sighted." At this moment, Sir Mavie, who had just sat down, flattered him. The reason why Mavie was in Golu Ridge was that he received Lance's call yesterday. Today, he brought the Succubus Dance Group and some other performers to Golu Ridge. Lance invited him to stay and serve as a judge in the God of Cookery Competition.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"Lord Lancelot held events frequently at this time, must be to unite people's hearts." Sir Mavi smiled with a point of view.
Lance thought to himself, you guys know? I just want to have some fun and try to do it again!
However, Lance didn't mind others making himself high-minded. Moreover, Lance understood the meaning in Sir Mavie's words. This was the second month of the Quiet Season, and it was also the last month for the coming Eternal Darkness and Demon Tide. So Sir Mavie felt that Lance might have wanted to use this opportunity to win people's hearts. After all, once the eternal night enters, the next four months will be a time for hard struggle, so he would not know that Lance didn't think much about what happened after this.
Originally, if Mavie was the only one who said this, Lance might have dealt with it with a thick skin, but he soon discovered that something like flattery would be contagious!
"No, the county magistrate's thoughts are far more than that," the next serious note was Baili Wenxiang Mosen: "I complained to the county magistrate yesterday that adventurers hunt too much prey, and you also know that these meaty foods cannot be preserved for too long without being marinated. My hands are preparing for tomorrow's carnival. If I really can't free up people to do this, I thought that maybe a large amount of ingredients would be wasted in the warehouse, but I didn't expect that after only one day, the county magistrate thought of a solution."
Mosen looked at the large slice of meat-pickled contestants in the center of the field and said, "Look, they not only willingly participated in labor, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole county, but also deeply imprinted the image of the county chief's people in the hearts of every civilian through this activity. It is really admirable."
As soon as Mosen finished speaking, Goul also joined the ranks of flattery. This old man who was usually honest and honest, Lance really didn't think that this guy knew how to flatter him. He didn't see it before, but now he heard it. "It's not only that, the county magistrate asked me to fish yesterday, but unfortunately my skills were too poor, and I didn't catch one in the end. But when I looked back, I realized the profound meaning of the activity of the county magistrate. It turned out that there were many wild animals in our Gulu Ridge, which always caused trouble from time to time. However, after the county magistrate attracted these adventurers, the ridge became much safer. Now that the eternal night is approaching, the county magistrate is preparing for the future, and using the hand of the activity to kill hidden dangers in the cradle. I really have to sigh at the wisdom of the lord."
Even though Lance was thick-skinned, he was blushed by each of them. God knew that he was just a whim when he was idle. Can this person's brains be so big?
The field was working very hard, and it was probably not enough to finish it in a while. Lance and the judges who had nothing to do simply sat down and had tea and chatted. Mavi reported to Lance about the recent situation in Black Valley County. It was said that the new official took office for three reasons. Mavi's motivation could be felt by looking at his energetic face.
"Mr. Lancelot, I have opened up the road as you told me and reduced the tariffs of merchants. The Earl's affairs have been handled completely."
"Not bad." Lance couldn't help but praise. Not to mention whether Sir Mavie is trustworthy or not, at least his ability to do things is worthy of recognition. In just three days, Lance had stabilized the situation and allowed the citizens of Dark Valley to be re-entered in production. Although this took some of Sir Mavie's own advantage of the ruling class of Dark Valley, it did not reduce Lance's evaluation of him: "Mavie, do it well, just as I promised you, as long as you do not disappoint me, I will not disappoint you."
Mawei couldn't help but feel happy and replied quickly, "Thank you for your cultivation, Lord Lancelot, my subordinates will definitely be lucky to be unwilling to be despaired."
But after saying this loyal words, Sir Mavie couldn't help but hesitate again. After he looked at Lance with a flash of eyes, he seemed to be determined to ask: "Sir, is there any news from your father, Lord Lord?"
When Lance heard this, he knew that Mavi was worried about something. He was afraid that his father would airborne an earl or baron to become the county magistrate of Black Valley County. Then Sir Mavi's position as the county magistrate of Black Valley County was not even in the hot position, so he would probably have to be kicked off the stage.
Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but make a prank and asked narrowly: "Mawei, what do you plan to do if I really arrange a new county magistrate for Black Valley County?"
As the words came out of Lance's mouth, Mawei couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Could it be that he would be honest...
He was just asking tentatively, but he didn't expect Lance to ask back, and he was immediately confused, but he said with a strong voice: "If this is the case, I can't come to Gululing and join you, and be an errand follower..."
Of course, Lance saw that Mavi was not speaking intently. He laughed and patted Mavi on the back and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged so easily. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you must have confidence in me, right?"
"Hey, you mean..."
Lance narrowed his eyes and asked without answering, "Do you know why I had played the game of cat and mouse with Du Peng for so long?"
"You are waiting for the Duke's envoy, and you will die for one chess." Speaking of this, Mavie showed his heartfelt awe for Lance.
This answer should be impeccable in Mawei's opinion, but Lance smiled without saying anything. After a while, he replied: "Actually, what you said is right, but in fact, if you just want to kill Earl Du Peng, there is more than one way. If you are the inner supporter for me, I can kill the Earl first, and after mastering Black Valley and Feronte, I will do something under the name of Earl. Anyway, the Earl will die and end up thanking the world."
After Lance said this, Sir Mavie reacted a little: "You mean you were deliberately delaying to this time point." After he finished speaking, he had already reacted, "I understand, you are in the time difference - Lord Demon King's birthday is about to be around. Neighbors like Lord Relton will definitely attend. When he knows this news, he has to go back to the Lord's Fort to select candidates. After he finishes all this, it will be almost the same as the Eternal Night Season. At that time, there will be no boundary between day and night, and beasts wander around. No one with a little mind will choose to go out at this time..."
Lance lowered his voice, and then Ma Wei said meaningfully: "If you take office at this time, it is not surprising that there will be any accidents on the road... Moreover, even if he arrives in a disaster and lacks foreign aid, we are not sure what to do?"
Lance's words made Mavie suddenly enlightened and immediately swept away the previous haze, which also made him admire Lance a little deeper.
Mawei was about to flatter Lance, but at this moment, Lance's guard came over and whispered a few words to Lance.
After hearing this, Lance couldn't help but frown: "It's those little minions again, haven't you already told you to drive them all away?"
"No, this time it seems that I am here."
"Oh," Lance responded suddenly, touching his smooth chin: "Then bring him here."
After the guard took the order, Heigang looked here, as if asking what happened to Lance.
"It's nothing. The baron sent someone again. No, he came here by himself this time."
"So do you want me to make some preparations?" Hei Gang asked.
Lance waved his hand disregardedly about this issue: "It's okay, this is our territory, are you afraid that he will make a big splash? And he came this time, probably to ask for peace from us."
Listening to the conversation between Lance and Black Steel, Sir Mavi seemed to have grasped something: "Is Baron Ankasa coming?"
Lance snorted in his nose: "Or who else can there be?"
During the conversation, a team of new people were introduced into the abortion that day. Lance looked at the group of people, but without anyone introducing them, he also knew that this was Baron Ankasa and his entourage.
Mavie, who was beside him, recognized the other party. He pointed at the head of the leopard opposite him, and leaned close to Lance and whispered: "That's Baron Ankasa. It is said that he is very brave and is a good player in war, but his brain is not very useful."
But Lance smiled: "Don't say that, he is willing to come to me on his own initiative. In fact, he has some vision. If he is so stupid as you said, it is hard for me to imagine how the other party made achievements on the battlefield."
Ma Wei thought to himself that the war was not simple. A guy like Baron Ankasa who relied on his muscles to fight on the battlefield. His baron's title was also obtained by killing people. However, Ma Wei would not say this kind of thing openly, at least the other party was one level higher than his identity.
Lance saw the group of people passing through the crowd and walking quickly towards him under the guidance of the guards. The other party's attributes had already emerged on the retina.
Grote-Ankasa (Orc)
Career: Warrior
Skills: Experienced in a lot of battles [B+], Crazy and Wild [B], Warrior Heart [B]
It has to be said that Baron Ankasa is obviously not as powerful as Lance imagined, almost at the same level as Lavencaise and Fiona, but the other party's achievements are real, which makes Lance a little confused.
But this is nothing. The one who survives to the end of the battlefield and kills the most enemies may not necessarily be the one with the strongest force and best kung fu.
