ghost on paper

Chapter 77
The Habsburgs failed repeatedly in the process of capturing the Extraordinary.

In other words, Freddy failed again and again in the course of his work.

Let the entire Habsburg be in a state of depression with very low air pressure.

In this situation, Truman got a longer vacation, and Hei Sha asked him to be on call at any time, waiting for these incompetent guys to dig a poor Extraordinary out of some mouse hole before starting their work.

From Heisha's tone, Truman felt that she had a mentality of watching a joke, but when the little Baron Habs occasionally mentioned the emperor's daughter, she would become excited again, and thus became more active.

Therefore, Truman felt that Hei Sha was so active in making potions for the little Baron Habs, and must have a great relationship with the Empress, and this gave rise to another doubt, what is the relationship between Hei Sha and the Empress?
The reason why I thought of this question again.

It was because someone mentioned the Empress at Hannibal's banquet.

It wasn't just Truman and Hannibal at the party.

When Truman decided to attend the banquet the first day, he received a very formal invitation letter. The letter used the extravagant bronzing technique in this era, which looked particularly luxurious.

Looking at the invitation letter, Truman suddenly thought that he should order a new formal suit. He only had two formal suits, one for the Moonlight Knight and one for Truman's daily wear. Not enough for such a banquet scene.

But it takes at least half a month to order a formal suit, so it is too late this time.

When Truman appeared at Hannibal's manor in the northern part of Lundiny, he came in a rented carriage, and first saw several carriages marked with royal or other noble insignia parked inside the manor.

Truman's heart was a little hanging, and he calmed down. He realized that tonight was not a separate banquet for him and Mr. Hannibal.

The banquet venue was as gorgeous as Truman had expected. After a period of pleasantries—of course Truman was ignored, they sat down at a long table covered with white cloth.

Hannibal, who showed up before the meal, put on his chef's attire and began serving tonight's main course.

Although Lundini and the food of this era have always been lackluster.

But when Truman ate what was said to be roasted whole from a kid goat stuffed with spices, his taste buds experienced a moving shudder.

The taste is so touching... Truman's taste has been influenced by countless industrial seasonings and essences in the modern society of the earth, and he will still experience such a sense of impact, which shows how amazing Hannibal's cooking skills are.

This is especially true of the rich and famous of Lundiny who are attending this evening's banquet.

"To our chef!"

A majestic middle-aged handsome man raised his wine glass.

If there is one center of the banquet tonight, it is this one. If there are two centers, their chef Hannibal will be added.

Hannibal is sought after because of his mystery, knowledge and cooking skills, and this one is because of his status. He is the brother of the current King Ansa, Prince Philip.

A legend who could fill all the pages of the Lundinian with tidbits.

"To our dear Hannibal." Everyone raised their glasses, including Truman.

Prince Philip added, "It's a pity that my dear lady Empress did not attend tonight's banquet, otherwise I must listen to her evaluation of this dinner. After all, she has traveled to the continent of Ophelia and has so much knowledge and experience." .”

When Prince Philip mentioned the emperor's daughter, Truman clearly felt the dissatisfaction of another lady.

She was dressed luxuriously and had a gorgeous appearance. She was wearing a tight-waisted and open-breasted gown that noble ladies of Ansa liked. The gorgeous bow on the chest carried a heavy weight.

The lady smiled and said, "The Prince misses Madam Emperor so much, he must know why she didn't attend, right? After all, you attended the concert of the deaf music master last night."

The smell of vinegar is obvious.

"Respected Marquis Paiwa." Prince Philip raised his glass to her, "I spend far less time with the Empress than with you, so I know your whereabouts better."

Hearing what this playboy said, there were ambiguous smiles on the expressions of everyone at the banquet.

Truman also came here, observed for a while, and then relied on the extraordinary memory to recognize the appearance of Prince Philip and the Marquise of Paiwa. After all, they put on clothes this time.

These two were the witnesses of the Knight of the Moon when he first appeared in Lundini.

Was their affair an open secret?

But it seems to be a situation that can't be seen through.

What if someone pokes this out?

The name of the sufferer wearing the cuckold is the Marquis of Paiwa...

Truman had no impression of the name.

clang clang.

Then Hannibal tapped the glass.

That means he is going to speak.

"Please allow me to introduce a guest of this banquet. He possesses outstanding spiritual talent and will surely be famous throughout Onsa and even the entire continent of Euphenia in the next few years."

Following Hannibal's introduction, Truman stood up, and he bowed slightly to everyone present, "My name is Truman, and I am a spiritual translator. It is a great honor to participate in the banquet tonight. out of my hometown."

"Where is your hometown?" Someone asked.

"In the far east, its name is Aurora." Truman said.

This is the identity he has woven for himself a long time ago. There is indeed an eastern country called 'Aurora' in this world. It is great and mysterious in the legends of some documents in Lundini. Ming Dynasty is very similar.

"I have met merchants from Cathay," said Prince Philip, "and they sold me a lot of very beautiful silk. Their leader is called the Emperor, and in the very center of their country there is a building called the Forbidden City, where the Emperor lives. Over there."

"You've heard of the Forbidden City... no, the Forbidden City?" Truman showed strong interest in this topic, "My lord, do you know what the title of the current emperor is?"

"I don't know. I can ask the businessman next time I see you." The prince seemed very friendly. "Mr. Truman, maybe you can introduce your country. We are all very interested in its mysterious history."

Truman began to recount 5000 years.

He is good at history.

And let's not forget that he's an 'actor', and performing in front of Lundini's powerful people gives him a thrill, which is good for his 'share'.

And everyone is equally interested in his status as a "descendant of Cathay" and "an unknown master of spiritual language translation".

Truman realizes one thing, or the nobles of Lundiny don’t understand the spiritual text, but they are very interested in the spiritual text translator and the historical discovery of the spiritual text. This seems to be a fad, like... in a department store That pineapple worth 200 gold pounds.

at dinner.

Look at these luxuriously dressed Ansa nobles, especially the ambiguity between Prince Philip and the Marquise Paiwa.

A plan came to Truman's mind.

Only magic can defeat magic.

Only nobles can oppress nobles.

Truman once swore that he would let Freddy die after experiencing all the pain and suffering in the world. The people and things he met tonight seemed to provide a wonderful opportunity for this vow.

"Death is not the end, becoming food is."

Truman suddenly smiled when he remembered Hei Sha's famous words.He already has a definite plan.
