"So, Eliza, do you really understand the scarf on your face?"

"No! Even if you recognize me, I don't want to be recognized by others! "

Su Cheng and Eliza are walking side by side on a road in Pendragon.

Just after eating ice cream, they were both planning to wander around in Pendragon, and began to walk side by side in Pendragon.

Eliza asked Su Cheng to accompany her. It was Su Cheng who said she was a fool's compensation.

The reason why Eliza wants Su Cheng to accompany her is also very simple: to avoid being caught by the patrol again later, as just now.

"This summer is extraordinarily long. Today is late October. It's still very hot. Eliza, you look like this. I feel very hot just looking at you..."

"You think I want to? I'm afraid of heat! " Eliza said angrily, "I want to take off the scarf on my face, too! But this scarf just can't be untied! "

"Without this scarf, it is likely to be recognized by acquaintances, and wearing this scarf to cover my face can reduce my sense of shame."

"In fact, you don't have to be ashamed of wearing this dress." Su Cheng said helplessly, "I think you look particularly good in this skirt."

"Don't flatter me. I know my own situation best. It's strange for me to wear such a skirt. If I don't cover my face, it's too ashamed. I won't go on the street... Ah! There's a wild cat! Come here! Come here! Meow! Meow! "

Not far from them, a black haired wild cat appeared.

While trying to imitate the cat's voice, Eliza waved to the wild cat and tried to "seduce" the wild cat.

However, Eliza didn't seem to have any "cat affinity". After licking the fur on her claws, the wild cat disappeared without looking at Eliza.

"Poof..."

"Hey, I heard you! You just laughed, didn't you? Was it funny that I just teased the cat? " Eliza curled her lips unhappily.

"I didn't laugh at the way you teased the cat just now." Su Cheng smiled, "I just suddenly feel that Eliza, you are two years older than me, but unexpectedly very much like a little girl."

"Hum, he is younger than me, but he talks as if he were my predecessor." Eliza tapped Su Cheng on the head, then turned around and continued to walk forward.

"Let's go."

Looking at Eliza's back, Su Cheng's face flashed a helpless color. Then he accelerated his pace and followed Eliza's side.

……

noon.

Britannia Empire, pandragon, Baiyang palace, restaurant.

It's lunchtime now. All the participants of the round table are gathered in the restaurant already prepared in Baiyang palace.

The round table usually takes several days, and every day is from morning to evening. Therefore, it is natural to have a place ready for the participants to eat and a place for the participants to take a lunch break.

The restaurant for the participants is large enough to serve hundreds of people.

Moreover, the dining method is the same as the round table dinner. There are several long tables in the middle of the restaurant, on which food and drinks are placed, so that the participants can move freely and take their favorite food and drinks freely.

The people participating in the round table are either local nobles or local and central dignitaries. Therefore, the food provided by the restaurant will not be ordinary food.

Although the food is certainly not as luxurious and delicious as the food at the year-end dinner, it is definitely a delicious food, which 99% of the people in the world have no chance to taste.

The participants gathered in twos and threes, taking their favorite food and having lunch with their acquaintances.

"What's the matter? Humphrey? " Jacob smiled and carried his plate. He walked slowly to Humphrey standing at a long table. "Why are you in a daze here?"

"... no, I just saw a few kinds of hometown dishes and suddenly felt some emotion."

After that, Humphrey nuzzled at the dishes on the long table in front of him: "these dishes are from the south, from my hometown."

"Humphrey, your hometown is hankshire in the south."

"Well, that's right. I haven't gone back to my hometown for a long time... It seems that after I became the governor of the north, I basically haven't gone back to my hometown in the south. "

"Sometimes I really want to go back and see my hometown that I haven't been back for a long time, but the place in the north is a swamp... As the governor of the north, I can't leave many affairs in the north and return to my hometown... When I come to the imperial capital to participate in the round table, I need to deal with the affairs in the North personally, It can be said that it is accumulating. Ha ha... I really don't know how much these affairs will be when I go back. "

After that, Humphrey picked up the fork and took the home food in front of him.

"... Humphrey, would you like to have lunch?"

"... with pleasure."

Jacob and Humphrey found an empty table side by side.

There are many dining chairs for the participants to eat in the restaurant.

"What's the matter? Humphrey? " Jacob handed Humphrey a cup of black tea and said, "why haven't you heard you speak in these two days of meetings?"

After taking the black tea from Jacob's hand, Humphrey, with an expressionless face, said in a flat tone almost without any emotional color: "because there's nothing to speak, I'm too lazy to speak."

Jacob said in a somewhat lost tone:

"Humphrey... Do you support Mr. Cheng as the new head of Michael's knights?"

"... not supported." Humphrey was silent for a while and then said in a deep voice, "I don't support Su Cheng."

Humphredon said this for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice:

"That man was right just now. Jacob, your intuition and vision are not so accurate every time. When you look at many people, including me, don't you also look at many people? "

"Su Cheng is indeed very capable, but the head of the Knights needs not only ability, but also rich experience and qualifications."

"The new head of Michael's knights and the new top leader of the northern front must not be treated carelessly. Therefore, instead of betting that your vision is right, I prefer to choose the other two veteran generals to be the new head of Michael's knights. At least, they are stable and safe."

As the central official said when refuting Jacob at the morning meeting just now, although Jacob is famous for being good at looking at people and acting only, Jacob's vision is not too divine, and there are a large number of people who look out of sight.

"Ha ha..." Jacob smiled softly. "Can't you look at the friendship between me and you and help me? Ten years ago, I helped you become the governor of the north. "

"Don't follow me." Humphrey said angrily, "in the face of such a national event, we don't talk about personal affairs. I won't turn to you because you are my friend and benefactor."

Speaking of this, Humphrey seemed to think of something. He turned around and asked Jacob in a low voice:

"Jacob... Did you tell Su Cheng about your recommendation to become the new head of Michael's knights?"

"... yes." Jacob's expression suddenly became complicated. "Just the day before yesterday, that is, the morning of October 19, I called him to my residence and explained it to him."

"... how did he... React?"

"..." Jacob was silent.

His face gradually showed a smile with some melancholy.
