Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 448 - 244: Evolutionary Path
Fortunately, the kitchen anticipated this, and Leia immediately arranged for the servants to bring up two more plates.
Durant saw that Sao and the others didn’t know how to eat them and willingly stepped forward to teach them how to peel the shell and extract the meat.
I must say, these people ate the crabs extremely cleanly, even though Baron Rod had reminded them that crab gills are not edible, they still swallowed them.
The life in the wilderness had left everyone’s stomachs rather barren, so Baron Rod chose not to disturb everyone while they were eating.
Once he saw that everyone had eaten enough, Baron Rod tugged Avril’s hand, signaling with his eyes.
"Me, can I do it?"
Avril asked quietly.
Even though Baron Rod had given instructions before the banquet, suggesting she as the hostess should speak.
But at the crucial moment, Avril couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant.
"You can."
Baron Rod nodded encouragingly and filled her glass to the brim.
Avril gripped her hand firmly, picked up the wine glass, and slowly stood up.
Durant caught sight of this and showed a look of surprise, immediately turning his head,
"Quiet, the lady has something to say!"
Everyone put down their utensils, even Seronie, who couldn’t understand the common language, sat upright at Kael’s reminder.
Today, Avril took off her robe and intentionally wore a deep blue dress, the tight waist perfectly showcasing her slender figure.
The cut of the dress was just right, maintaining the dignified demeanor of a noble without overshadowing her natural elegance.
Her golden hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, with strands gently brushing against her fair cheeks.
In the glow of the firelight, each strand shimmered with a warm luster.
"Brave warriors."
Avril’s voice was gentle and bright,
"Thank you for bravely fighting for this land, for our home."
"Without your courage and sacrifice, there would be no victory celebration tonight."
Avril bowed slightly, saluting everyone,
"Thank you for bringing my man back safe and sound."
"To all the warriors."
"To the lady!"
Everyone followed Avril, drinking their wine in one go.
But it didn’t end there, Avril, with Leia, personally poured wine for everyone.
This action caused everyone to stand up nervously, their faces full of tension.
Gang Le was so excited he nearly jumped out of his chair, holding the wine glass in both hands, bowing his head, not daring to look directly at Avril,
"Lady, you are too kind!"
Gang Le said loudly, blushing, "Rest assured, no matter who tries to harm the Lord and you, they must step over my dead body!"
"I’m glad you said that, Gang Le, but I think Baron Rod is more hopeful you stay alive."
Hearing this, Gang Le became even more excited, downing the whole glass of wine.
Avril also poured wine for Seronie, still smiling,
"Your bravery is commendable, Vivian told me all about it."
Seronie was stunned by the alien language from Avril’s mouth, immediately bowed in respect.
Avril’s smile remained, her voice gentle,
"You are very welcome at Black Pine Ridge, leader of the Ice and Snow Race, Miss Seronie."
"This will be your home from now on, feel free to tell me if you need anything."
Avril gently took Seronie’s hand, noticing the calluses and scars, "I have ointment to remove scars, tomorrow I’ll send someone to bring some to you."
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, lady."
Seronie pressed her voice firmly, making it less loud and rough.
"Your beauty and grace are admirable, making the stars in the night sky seem dim."
Even talking to Baron Rod never made Seronie this nervous.
After hearing this, Avril patted her large hand,
"You are beautiful and resilient like the glaciers of the Icefield Mountain Range."
After speaking, Avril left with Leia to approach the next person.
Seronie also breathed a sigh of relief, unable to resist wiping the sweat off her forehead.
Meanwhile, Baron Rod was at the host’s seat watching all this, in great spirits, his mouth involuntarily curving upwards.
"Hey, Lawrence, brought back quite a lot of these crabs, huh?"
Baron Rod asked, "Were they all brought back with refrigerators?"
"Yes, sir."
Lawrence reported happily, "It’s amazing, those seafood kept in the refrigerator were still alive when brought back!"
"Oh?"
Baron Rod was a bit surprised, "Not frozen into blocks?"
"Some were, some weren’t, Mussen made two kinds of refrigerators!" Lawrence answered quietly.
"Ah, yes, refrigeration and freezing."
Baron Rod nodded, his eyes gleaming,
"Originally it was just my idea, I didn’t expect Mussen would actually realize it."
Baron Rod stood up,
"Come, take me to see the refrigerator."
