Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 179 The Beastman World 16

The matter of spices could not be delayed, so Steward Feng arranged for two eunuchs who accompanied him to go to Uncle Zhan's house to pick up the people.

Then he personally led Lin Xiaoqian and the others back to the palace.

It was about a three-hour drive from the capital's palace. After getting off the flying car, the first thing Lin Xiaoqian and his companions saw was a dozen enormous stone pillars, each carved with various orc totems.

Although the orcs maintain human-like daily lives, their residential decoration styles clearly reflect the characteristics of each race.

As is well known, Leo, the king of the orcs, is a majestic lion in beast form, hence the style of his court is both rugged and dignified.

Steward Feng kindly explained to the group, "The carvings on the stone pillars depict the ancestors who made great contributions to the development of the orc race."

He briefly recounted the development of the orc race, from ancient tribal migrations to bloody battles against external enemies, and now to their difficult foothold in interstellar space.

No matter which civilization can develop and survive, it must inevitably go through some unimaginable hardships and long years of trials.

The dry history of orcs was told in a very interesting way by Steward Feng, and Lin Xiaoqian and the others listened with great interest.

Chief Steward Feng talked most about the modern history of the orc race, focusing on how the current orc king discovered the Star Alliance's conspiracy a hundred years ago and led a few of his men to attack the Star Alliance, which was absolutely fascinating.

Everyone who heard this would praise Leo as wise and mighty, truly worthy of being the King of the Orcs.

Lin Xiaoqian sighed inwardly, thinking that the white-haired old man she met yesterday must have been quite brave when he was young.

Steward Feng's tone was full of admiration for the Orc King.

Indeed, having such a capable leader is something to be proud of.

Jiang Shuang asked curiously, "This Interstellar Alliance sounds like some kind of interstellar government organization, right? How can they so blatantly invade other planets?"

Upon mentioning the Interstellar Alliance, Steward Feng's eyes flashed with obvious disgust, and he spoke in a vicious tone.

"They are so shameless. To be honest, in the beginning, this interstellar alliance was formed by several large star systems. It was established to prevent wars between planets from causing incalculable and irreparable losses."

Later, as it grew and expanded, it gradually became corrupt internally. Several large star systems united to seize power in the interstellar alliance, often using underhanded means to instigate interstellar wars and then profit from them, or trying to install puppet regimes on planets they valued and turn them into colonies.

Take, for example, the recent civil war on the planet Mora, which has been making headlines across the interstellar network. It was actually orchestrated by the Interstellar Alliance, using the exact same methods they employed against our orc planet. Fortunately, a capable leader emerged among the local forces on Mora; otherwise, it would have undoubtedly become yet another puppet planet under the control of the Interstellar Alliance. The Interstellar Alliance's various atrocities are truly outrageous.

The last sentence was spoken through gritted teeth by Steward Feng. Perhaps realizing that he had lost his composure, he adjusted his emotions slightly and his face regained its respectful and calm expression.

He then said, "I apologize for my rudeness. Let's continue on our way. His Majesty is still waiting for you all in the council chamber."

Upon entering the palace gates, the first thing that catches the eye is a spacious hall with a soaring dome inlaid with gems that emit an unusual light, illuminating the entire hall.

The ground is paved with hard stone slabs, each with delicate patterns that vaguely outline the shape of a star map.

The hall was filled with all sorts of rare treasures and spoils of war, including strange weapons from other planets with unique shapes and a cold metallic luster; as well as colorful gems and rare minerals, all carefully arranged to showcase the formidable strength of the orc race.

Huge animal skin paintings hang on the walls, depicting scenes of life, wars, and important historical events of various orc tribes. The paintings are bold and unrestrained, full of wildness and primal vitality.

Walking along the hall leads to the long corridor that leads to the council chamber.

Tall and imposing animal-shaped statues stand on both sides of the corridor. The statues are made of different materials, some of hard obsidian and others of alloys that shimmer with metallic luster. Each one is carved so lifelike that it gives people a sense of overwhelming pressure.

The council chamber doors were tightly shut, and carved on the doors was a huge lion's head, the symbol of Leo, the king of the orcs. Its eyes were inlaid with two blood-red gems, which seemed to radiate a majestic light under the illumination.

In Lin Xiaoqian's words, although it's not technologically advanced, it has substance and class.

Steward Feng hurried a few steps to the door, bowed respectfully, and then gently knocked.

A heavy knocking sound echoed through the corridor. After a moment, the door slowly opened, and a solemn and dignified atmosphere wafted out.

The atmosphere was so serious that Lin Xiaoqian was a little nervous.

Steward Feng gestured for them to come in, saying, "Gentlemen, please come in."

The hall is spacious, and light shines through the gemstones in the dome, creating beams of bright light that illuminate the entire space.

At the front of the hall stood a huge stone table. Leo sat on the throne behind the table. When he saw Lin Xiaoqian and the others enter, he stood up and smiled gently.

His voice was deep and warm: "Chef Lin, you've finally arrived. Don't be shy, please have a seat."

After everyone was seated, Leo continued, "You've all had a long journey. I originally intended to take you directly to your lodgings to rest, but I thought it would be better to meet you in person. Although our orc race has lived on this planet for generations, this planet can actually be called our capital planet. There are also many smaller planets in our star system that belong to the orc race, including some with beautiful scenery. If any of you are interested, please tell Steward Feng, and he will arrange for someone to take you there."

Lin Xiaoqian and the others quickly thanked Leo for his kindness.

Leo continued, "The main reason I invited you all here today is to express my gratitude in person. The spices you brought are of great significance to our orc race. Although we haven't yet confirmed what kind of spices they are, research by the Royal Medical Academy shows that the spices in stinky tofu can effectively soothe orcs' manic symptoms. Therefore..."

Leo looked at Lin Xiaoqian with a solemn expression: "Chef Lin, I would like to bestow upon you the Orcish race's Glory Guardian Medal and the title of 'Meritorious Earl,' and sign a permanent friendship treaty between the Orcish race and the Chinese race. What do you think?"

!!!

Lin Xiaoqian stared in surprise, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape.

Did she get a noble title on the Orc Planet because of cumin?

Jiang Shuang and the others were also somewhat shocked, but they also felt that it made a strange sense of reason.

Lin Xiaoqian coughed lightly and replied, "Thank you. It is my honor to receive such an honor, and it is also an honor for the Chinese people. But speaking of which, I think I know today which spice is effective. Not only do I know, but Steward Feng knows too, right, Steward Feng?"

As she spoke, she looked at Steward Feng.
