Chapter 540

"So, apart from riding a deer and eating, there is no other impression?" Rin continued to ask.

Elise thought for a while: "The antlers can be used as decorations."

Emilia also thought hard: "It can also be used as a medicinal material."

Rin suddenly felt like he had caught some thoughts.

"So, the silk flowers are decorations, the deer's antlers are also decorations, then this last lady..."

This time Elise and Emilia looked at each other and shook their heads.

The first impression of a lady is, isn’t that a lady? There is no way to develop other ideas at all.

Rin thought hard for a moment, but found nothing, so she could only put the paper away temporarily.

[Forget it, it’s okay. At worst, I’ll sacrifice myself. To put it bluntly, Eve said it in her speech yesterday. Regardless of means, beauty traps are also a type of wisdom. 】

With this in mind, Rin expressed that she was very relaxed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

The door was opened, and standing outside was the head maid of the Duke's Manor, with Momo behind her.

Momo rushed in happily with a few books in her hands.

"Brother, the library at Sister Eve's house is so big, with so many books. I found a few adventure biographies with illustrations!"

"Do you know so many words?"

Rin picked up a book and opened it casually and asked.

"Hmph, the head maid said she would arrange for a sister to teach Momo!" The little girl said with a proud look on her waist.

The head maid saluted several people very respectfully.

"Sir Eve said that today is the first day for you to come to the house. Naturally, you have to clean up the dust for a few people. If you have any dishes you want to eat, I will make a record and hand it over to the chefs."

Elise and Emilia were completely uninterested in ordering.

Just leave this kind of thing to Rin, since Rin knows their preferences well.

"I want to eat strawberry pudding and cheese baked crab!" Momo spoke first.

Rin also ordered a few dishes at random and said, "If your head chef has any special dishes, you can also serve a few."

He completely regarded this as a restaurant.

Momo held her stomach: "Well, I'm already hungry now."

The head maid nodded with a smile: "Then I'll prepare some tea for Miss Momo. If you don't mind, you can try the Wilson puff rolls I made."

"Okay!"

Momo nodded and asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of snack is Wilson puff roll?"

Rin recalled it and had a vague impression.

“A snack made primarily from Wilson County.”

The head maid explained: "It's a dessert with vanilla, chocolate and fruit flavors, but the cake is special. It's made with fluffy flour from a country called Wilson County, which makes it the same as butter and is soft and melts in the mouth."

"Oh, it's another dessert I've never heard of."

The head maid continued: "After all, this kind of thing is very expensive and is only circulated among noble women."

"Um?"

Rin suddenly caught something and narrowed his eyes slightly.

I thought about it carefully, but I couldn't grasp anything.

"Speaking of which, Head Maid, do you know what is meant for ladies and is representative of it?"

The head maid was stunned and couldn't say anything for a moment.

Seeing that nothing could come of it, Rin didn't want to waste other people's time, so she had to let the maid grow up first.

Holding the note, he was in a daze for a while again, until the door was pushed open again.

Eve walked in in a hurry, dressed very gorgeously, and she looked like she had just received an honored guest.

Different from usual, she had a goose down fan in her hand.

Looking at the velvet fan, a flash of lightning flashed in Rin's head.

Chapter 62 Xiao Lin is so awesome

Rin quickly picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.

The fan in the simple drawing also has a wavy line added to the upper edge.

This painting is of a goose down fan, but it’s just not that obvious.

In Gioral County, goose down fans are only used by noble ladies and ladies.

Because a long time ago, there was a Duke who thought that white swans were elegant and loved them very much, so he designated them as county protected animals.

High-end goose down fans are made of velvet down, so they become limited editions and once became the most luxurious items for noble ladies.

Noble women were honored with a velvet fan.

However, this thing was too luxurious after all, and later it was replaced with low-grade goose down.

In order to show their status, they excluded wealthy businessmen and gentry from using the same items as themselves.

Therefore, the velvet fan became a decoration that only noble women could use.

However, in order to show some openness and inclusiveness, ordinary women are also allowed to use it temporarily during marriages and specific holidays.

Just like the Phoenix Crown Xiapei in the ancient Blue Star China.

After withdrawing her thoughts, Rin's eyes became clearer.

Now, he has found what the three items have in common.

Silk flowers, antlers, and goose down fans are all decorations.

However, the mystery is still not completely solved.

Rin vaguely felt that he had some ideas, but the light was like gravel between his fingers, and he couldn't grasp it no matter how hard he grabbed it.

…

Soon it was time for dinner.

Eve sat at the top, and below her were Rin and Elise sitting opposite each other.

After that came Momo and Emilia as distinguished guests, while Lina sat at the end.

Xiye also sat opposite Lina with an unnatural look on her face.

She herself didn't want to go to the table, or it was Eve who found the reason.

Tonight is a family dinner. As the elder sister of Lin's brother-in-law, she is also a relative and must be at the table.

The long table is full of dishes, and the dishes that Lin and his friends like are all in the nearest place.

There are maids serving on both sides, and the head maid is standing next to Eve.

In this trial space, it is the first time for Lin and his friends to participate in such a noble banquet of this scale.

However, they are not nervous at all, and they are very familiar with it, as if they have participated in it many times before.

In the center of the entire table, there is a huge dinner plate.

There is a super large lobster in it, which is as big as a roasted whole lamb.

This is the most important specialty of this dinner, and it is also the finishing touch.

Lin has been instilled with the skills of a qualified fisherman, and recognized the origin of this lobster at a glance.

"Moro Volcano Lobster!"

This is a magical beast.

As long as you catch one, no matter how big or small, it is worth one hundred gold coins.

The highest-grade lobsters can also cost two or three hundred gold coins.

Eve likes to see his inexperienced look.

As long as she saw his expression of surprise, she would curl up the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

"Volcano lobsters are too difficult to catch. Even in the Duke's Mansion, I only ate the second one this year. The first time was on New Year's Day."

Eve said with emotion: "Seeing that the festival is coming in two months, I still have to get another one."

It can be seen that Eve likes to eat lobsters.

"Festival?"

In an instant, Lin caught those few flashes of inspiration and couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

After a little thought, she had a clue and her expression relaxed.

But in front of delicious food, everything else should be put aside and the main thing is to concentrate on enjoying it.

...

The next day, the guards posted notices again in the square, hotel, street corner, tavern and other places.

The notice was the test content prepared by Lina, Xiye and Christo.

Lina's test was exactly those three patterns, which made people confused.

Xiye was much easier. The winner could challenge her after beating the members of the guards.

Christo's challenge was to help several officers and his assistants with their work.

Including collecting supplies, training soldiers, running errands, etc., each task has points, and reaching the required points can be considered a challenge.

Among them, Kristo's challenge is the simplest but the most tedious and time-consuming.

Lina's challenge is the most difficult, and Xiye's challenge...

Many people think that it is basically impossible to defeat her, but the announcement does not say that you must defeat her to complete the challenge.

So it should just be a question of skill, and everyone is quite confident.

At this time, Lin was pulling Xiye to talk.

Even if Xiye is strict, under the entanglement of her brother, she still revealed a lot of things.

"So, this is actually a double test of strength and courage?"

"Yes, that's right."

Xiye explained: "Defeating the Royal Guards means that the force is also first-class, which is a test of strength."

"Then let the challenger sign a duel agreement regardless of life and death. Lady Eve will find a few people to act with me, so that the challenger can see me "kill" a few people to scare the challenger."

Rin nodded: "In this case, he is still willing to continue fighting. He is a courageous person."

"Yes, that's it."

"Thank you for telling me, sister."

After speaking, Rin waved her hand and turned to leave.

Only Xiye stood there and muttered to himself: "Anyway, my brother will definitely pass, and I am not breaking the rules, yeah."

After meeting with Iris Emilia, Rin planned to go to the market first.

Iris was quite puzzled: "Aren't you going to the quartermaster to check?"

"No, let's finish the first task first. If you're late, you won't be able to grab it."

Emilia paused: "Have you thought of it?"

Iris' eyes were full of admiration.

"Xiao Lin! You are so great!"

"That's right."
