Chapter 15 The Surrender of Eulabella (Part 1)
"A country that has been exhausted for years of war in a quarter century cannot resist the attack of the armed whole world on it alone." - Engels commented on Napoleon's failure

At this time, he really raised his head in surprise and looked at the envoy of Seris opposite him, and found that the other party's eyes were flashing and surprised. Looking at his appearance, although both parties were a little clear and confused, both of them were extremely active, and no one said anything more. They still had to continue to play the game seriously!
"In addition, the envoy of Seris also has a generous gift to give to the High Priest." At this time, the Central Secretary Wang Qien tried to stop Otaqilius, but when he saw the other party wave his hand and asked a group of servants to carry a box, Li Bida and Adiana reached out to see. "What is this? It looks like jade." Adiana asked curiously.
Li Bida, who saw clearly, almost didn't wonder Wang Qinian was just now, but he was still swaying. The box was half rippling well water, and there was floating ice on it, and there was impermeable python skin underneath. The pink, tender, white and bright in the water were actually pieces of good tofu flowers...
It seems that this envoy is really amazing. He really doesn't understand how he sent soybeans to the carriage and horses here thousands of miles away. However, he must have made the tofu flowers here first, but he didn't know whether to do this to offer beauty to himself or to give the King Zhonglang's blessing to him.
Li Bida looked at Wang Qinian, and the other party could only smile and stretch out his sleeves, meaning that he offered this delicacy to the Roman High Priest and Queen Ubertnia.
"Very good. Karabiya. This is a very good food." Li Bida leaned over and said to Adiana in a low voice, "Thanks to Seris to save it with ice water. We can now ask the slaves to process it and hold it at the banquet. You and Eagit can try it, an absolute delicacy!"
This was a grand banquet, above the main hall of the Nicomides Palace. The most handsome musician and the most sexy dancer were hovering between the seats. The high priest and his queen frequently paid tribute to Emperor Seris, wishing blessings and longevity to Emperor Seris, and congratulating the envoys of the Central Army who came from afar. The translators in the middle were almost exhausted, and there were constantly precious gifts - ivory carvings, enamel jewelry boxes, corals, porphyry gems, crystal utensils, etc., piled up in front of the King General. Several of the most pretty dancers also surrounded the Central Army and toasted to the toast. The massage, all of them were gifts from the High priest tonight.
"No. If the gift from the high priest after returning home, the husband who received too much gift from the high priest will be impeached as a great disrespect. It is not impossible to be accused of personal engagement with foreign countries." Wang Qinian said politely to the translator, but he said that during the period before returning home, he would definitely be "disrespectful" to the gift from the high priest and the queen.
After a while, the final dish, tofu, came!
As a result, the high priest and the General of the Central Army looked at each other's meal table, and there was a small gap. In front of the high priest, the Indian "Sha" sugar was placed, while in front of the General of the Central Army of the Central Army, the "Wu Yan" brought from Seris was placed.
So Wang Qinian could only sigh, shook his head, and raised the silver spoon in his hand, with a look of summer insects unable to speak.
Only Adianna and Euergeit, both sucrose and salt, were almost edible.
Suddenly, the high priest finally couldn't help it. He asked directly in the already unfamiliar modern Seris dialect (no three people understand here anyway), "General Wang Zhonglang, you should be able to recognize the ivory carvings I gave to you. Is this true?"
The translator opened his mouth and didn't know how to convey it.
Wang Qinian stopped eating in his hand, lowered his head, and the spoon was shaking slightly. For a long time, he corrected his clothes and finally replied to Li Bida with a smile, "I know it, but these small statues, when the man sees his male and the woman reveals his female, is very indecent and indecent, and I am afraid that I can't take him back to my country!"
"This is simple. I can ask someone to send some people in full clothes to you." The high priest continued politely. Even Adianna was stunned at this moment, and they saw that the two of them were talking more and more happily as they spoke without any obstacles. It was really strange to others.
After the dinner, Li Bida also invited the General of the Central Army to play "Montanus" for a while. Wang Qinian and Li Bida were both deputy "Montanus's Face". The two fought like a dragon and tiger, sweeping away all the chips of Adiana and Otakilius.
And on the table, although the two had no expression on their faces, the dialogue never stopped for a moment. From the jacquard machine to the canal, to the route, almost everything was discussed. The General of the Central Army promised that after returning to the country, he would mediate for the High Priest. The High Priest also said that if there was something wrong with Cerris, he could come here and protect the General of the Central Army for the rest of his life.
In short, the guest and the host were very acquainted. After seeing off the General Wang Zhonglang, the slightly drunk high priest stood up and found that Adianna had left the seat early. However, the maid who had been appointed by him to inquire about Eagit's news half-kneeled in front of him and submitted a "Queen's ultimatum" to tell him to go to the Queen's bedroom tonight and have the final showdown.
"Showdown? I really didn't expect Karabiya to say such words." The high priest said with some displeasure, but then he agreed to the maid's request, and followed the slaves and walked into the queen's room where the queen was sleeping.
At this time, on both sides of the room, the lights were turned off, and the queen's couch was placed behind the curtains. It was obvious that Adiana was lying on her side, under the candlelight inside.
Li Bida suspected that this was a trap. Once he entered it, he would be killed by the maid and eunuch who was ambushing him, or poisoned by Adiana. He loved the queen of Youbertnia, but he would not love anyone after he died, right?
So Li Bida could only stand outside the curtain, quietly without saying a word, waiting for the other party to speak first and then decide on the countermeasures.
"How much will your gift to Euerjit be - I know, Karabis, I hate the discussion between us on such a topic, but you also understand that it is time to be honest with each other." Finally, Adiana, behind the curtain, said.
"Bosphorus, after I destroy Dacia in the future, I will give him half of the other side and Korkis." Li Bida said these words.
Chapter completed!
