Extraordinary Sailing

The moon hangs high and the sky is full of stars.

Buffalo, Long Island Estates.

Surrounded by dense forests and clear rivers, the Garriott family castle "White Swan Castle", which is as white as a fairy tale, is already full of lights, and every corner is full of cheerful atmosphere.

The enchanted plant hanging wind chimes and the alchemy lamps powered by the improved "magnetite" together constitute the lighting system of the castle. In this era when even the royal palace mainly used gas lamps, whale oil and candles, it was already an unimaginable luxury for ordinary people.

It can be said that every ray of light reflects the light of the golden lion.

Although tomorrow will be the official welcome ball attended by the governors of the territories, garrison officers, members of the parliament, big businessmen and other dignitaries from the New World of the Kingdom, the small private banquet hosted by the Garriot family today is also grand enough.

Except for the four core members of the family, Ivan, Olivia, Anita and Angel, all attended.

The three chief officers of the Hou Army, Robert, William, and Baldwin; several civilian officials represented by Hawkins; the first officer of the Horn of the Storm, Reese, and the captain of the boat, Gary; A total of more than a dozen core retainers of the Garriott family, including Knight Commander Granny, also attended.

On the guest side were Queen Rivina, Chief Lady Linda, a group of extraordinary entourage and two great knights.

At a long oak table covered with a white cotton tablecloth, the host and guest sat down in accordance with dining etiquette.

Snapped! Snapped!

After helping Liwena open the chair and sending her to a seat, Ivan sat at the end of the long table away from the door, and clapped his hands lightly to signal the start of the banquet. Turning around, he introduced to her by the way:

"Your Majesty, in terms of the abundance of products, the New World is indeed far above the mainland. Hessie has carefully designed a menu that will not be repeated during your seven-day stay. It will definitely make your trip worthwhile."

The pride in the words of the virtuous wife is obviously far above the products of the New World.

Liwena's eyes flickered for a moment, and she could not help clasping her hands slightly:

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Garriott."

According to social etiquette, Liwena, who changed into a purple evening dress and showed her fair shoulders, sat at the first position on Ivan's right hand. Olivia, who was equally glamorous as the hostess of the Garrett family, sat at the other end of the long table, facing Ivan.

Retainers and guests sit alternately, the banquet is not just as simple as eating, the focus is on socializing at the table. The subordinates of both sides will enhance mutual understanding, and the communication in all aspects will be smoother in the future.

It is also one of the main purposes of this private banquet.

It's a pity that Milan, who took Apusuya home to meet his parents, has not come back until now, and missed the opportunity to get in touch with the kingdom's core power circle at close range.

The housekeeper Medora and the "Night Spirit" headmaid Sara are in charge of the banquet process. Although they are very smart but don't have a deep understanding of human society, they are not stage frightened at all.

Ring ring ring.

Medora shook the silver bell in her hand lightly, the banquet began, and the beautiful night spirit maids filed in one after another.

There are two main types of aperitifs that Olivia ordered today, and guests can choose by themselves. One is maple beer, a specialty of the New World, and the other is a rainbow cocktail born in Buffalo.

As for the most important white wine in the aperitif, the girl gave it up without hesitation. The reason is naturally because of the indescribable production process whether it is red grapes or white grapes.

"This glass of colored wine is really beautiful and delicious."

Rivina took a sip of the rainbow cocktail made with white rum, coconut liqueur, mint liqueur, orange juice, grenadine, ice and orange slices. It was sweet and sour and very appetizing.

"Buffalo is rich in wine and fruit. This kind of drink made of drinks, wine, fruit juice, etc. is called a cocktail. If your Majesty likes it, you can ask the ladies to have a good chat with our chef."

At the dinner table, they didn't talk about any important national affairs. Liwena's itinerary in the New World was seven days, and she was not in a hurry. Aiwen is even more curious about the gossip about the royal family:

"After Her Majesty Isabella abdicated, did she still live in St. James's Palace?"

"Mother and grandpa went to study together. The kingdom wants to replace Cyrus. In addition to comprehensive national strength and military strength, the strength of the title knight level is the most important thing.

However, my grandfather thinks that my aptitude is better than that of my mother, and my temperament surpasses that of my sister who is a genius. I am the member of the royal family who is most likely to be promoted to the title. And I've already made an appointment with Anne to become the rare female titled knight in the entire history of tulips, right, Anne? "

Anita, who was also dressed in a gorgeous dress and her long emerald hair was rolled up, was sitting opposite Liwena with a touch of charm. She put down the maple beer that had been drank in her hand, and breathed out a sweet breath:

"Of course, but I might be one step ahead, Wella."

If Liwena's ability to break through to Tier 4 depends on illusory luck, Anita, who is escorted by Aiwen, has almost already obtained the entry ticket for the titled knight in advance.

It might not even take as long as a year or two.

Pushing the dining trolley, the well-trained maids started serving the dishes in an orderly manner.

Different from a normal banquet, although there are mainly six categories: appetizer, soup, salad, main course, main course, dessert. But because the guests at the table are all extraordinary, the amount of dishes far exceeds the normal standard.

The appetizers are three dishes of magic buffalo tenderloin with foie gras soaked in oil, caviar seafood platter, and butter chicken crisp box, which are quite satisfactory.

The next soup is the sea monster clear soup made from the flesh and blood of the giant "sea devil" cultivated with the "artificial meat technology", and the sweet corn soup made with the "Glass Gem Corn" modified product of [Golden Chain].

Although the craftsmanship may not be better than that of the palace chef, all the guests, including Liwena, couldn't help being amazed because the novel ingredients had a special flavor.

“This salad is very rich in content.”

The New World specialty Cobb salad, which includes avocado, blue cheese, bacon, fried chicken, lettuce, and tomato, is obviously far more in line with the taste of a big knight than a light vegan salad.

Soon, the banquet progressed to the main course.

Enchanted bison from the New World, a large piece of charred tomahawk steak; the burnt aroma of garlic mixed with milky cheese baked lobster.

The main event was the main dish of the New World. Each person had a roast turkey with a duck in the belly of the turkey, a chicken in the belly of the duck, and sausage and bacon in the belly of the chicken.

For an extraordinary person, solving this kind of main dish is just a piece of cake, and the raw materials are all demonized creatures transformed by [golden chain], which are also standard knight training resources.

Can you believe that on this table, a duck randomly picked out is better than a mature human being when it is alive?

The devil is in the details.

Not only did they eat happily, but in the minds of the Queen's entourage, they couldn't help raising the evaluation of the potential power of the Garriott family to several levels.

Even when chatting with the retainers of Garriott's family, he couldn't help restraining the kind of arrogance that seemed to be nothing.

While the main course was on the table, Medora had already directed the "Night Spirits" to take out the red wine brewed by a group of girls as a table wine for the queen to taste.

The fruit rate of Cabernet Franc is about 92.5%, the juice rate is about 62%, and the wine rate is about 90%. Last year, a group of girls used 1,000 kilograms of Cabernet Franc to produce about 570 kilograms of grape juice, and finally produced 520 kilograms of top-grade wine.

In the end, 693 bottles of standard 750ml wine were filled, which was originally the best part of that batch of Cabernet Franc, and with the help of Angel's witchcraft, the quality of this batch of wine was excellent, and it was no exception to Ivan's order Treasures for sale.

Only the four core members of the Garriott family and the Queen Livina have a share. Even the Queen's entourage, who is high enough to be qualified to serve on the table, has no chance to have a bite if they stretch their necks.

Turn the goblet, the sweet aroma of wine lingers on the nose.

Livina took a sip, and the pink wine flowed over the tip of the tongue. The wine is medium-bodied, fragrant, with good acidity, smooth and soft in the mouth, and the fragrant grass flavor also has the sweetness of mulberry and blackcurrant. .

After unknowingly drank the glass of wine, he couldn't help admiring:

"Well, it's really delicious. Although I haven't studied wine, I still can't believe that Annie and you guys brewed it yourself.

By the way, I remember that the harvest season of Cabernet Franc will last until the end of October. How about you teach me how to make wine? Wine made by hand will definitely taste better! "

Anita, whose taste buds were also conquered by this unique liquor, agreed immediately:

"no problem!"

Of course, the materials used cannot be the 4,000 acres of vineyards planned on Long Island. The land was leveled last fall, and the seedlings were only transplanted in late April this year. There will be a small amount of fruit next year, and it will take 4-7 years to enter the high-yield period. .

According to the current best-managed vineyards in Buffalo as a reference, the annual yield per mu will probably reach about 2,000 kilograms in four years, and that is when the high-end products of Long Island winery will be launched on a large scale.

With the gimmick of Her Majesty making wine herself, it is like cellaring for 20 years or 50 years. After adding a drop to each bottle, tsk tsk, the value will double immediately!

Hey, what seems to be exposed?

Rivina didn't expect so much, and she clapped hands with Anita happily:

"Okay, that's settled."

period.

Liwena also got up specially, toasted the hostess Olivia who had carefully prepared all this.

On the other hand, after Olivia paid back to Liwena with impeccable etiquette, she looked at Her Majesty the Queen who turned her head to talk and laugh happily with her fiancé again, a pair of delicate eyebrows could not help but slightly clustered.

Before the girl had the sixth sense of a senior official wizard, she thought carefully about where the sudden and inexplicable hostility towards Her Majesty the Queen came from.

clang! clang! clang!

Suddenly, from the distant sky, the sound of a distant bell that penetrates the soul of a person can be heard.

A group of people with corresponding permissions in the room immediately connected to the [Spiritual Network] all over the New World.

In the dark sky in the southwest, it seemed like a fire that had burned through the night sky, and the brilliant light seemed to reflect the small half of the night sky in sight into a golden red.

It is even more beautiful than the aurora.

There is no need to turn on the spiritual vision. As wizards, Ivan and Olivia can clearly feel the violent storm in the spiritual world.

"This is... the largest spiritual spillover this year? How could it be at this time?"
