Chapter 13 Specialties of the "Holland Family"
"How is it possible! You actually passed?"
After receiving the parchment thrown by Brand, Andy unfolded it with both hands.
After seeing the content inside, his face was full of disbelief.
Andy has inquired about Brand's life information in detail through various channels.
But no matter which channel the information comes from, it is indispensable that it contains the four big words of being unlearned and unskilled.
Andy originally thought that it would be good for an ignorant person like Brand to be lucky enough to pass the exam.
It is absolutely impossible to get any evaluation above passing!
As for the elective subject of studying runes and magic circles, that is even more impossible!
But after turning over and over the contents of the parchment in his hand countless times to make sure that he was not dazzled, Andy finally accepted this outrageous fact with great difficulty.
Secretly, Andy has decided to propose to his father that he deduct this year's salary from the intelligence department when he returns.
On Brand's side, seeing the rapidly changing expressions on Andy's face, he was in a very happy mood.
Unlearned and incompetent?
That was all when I was young and ignorant!
People say that after three days of separation, people should look at each other with new eyes.
Several months have passed. How can the past information be used for me now?
However, as a descendant of a noble family with good moral integrity, Brand has always regarded humility as one of his virtues.
After taking back the parchment roll in Andy's hand.
Brand said modestly with a smile on his face: "Luck, it's all luck, it won't work if you try it again." At
this time, Brand also saw Andy's "report card."
[Andy Crowder]
[Evaluation content: Basic knowledge of magic, training of Warcraft]
[Evaluation result: Excellent]
As the eldest son of the Earl family, Andy has received strict education since he was a child.
Before entering the Imperial Mage Academy, Andy already had a certain foundation in magic.
Therefore, Brand is not surprised that he has such results.
But on the other hand, people like Andy are just ordinary beings.
It can't be compared to a cheating person like him.
It's been a while since students got their report cards.
At this time, the dean standing on the podium spoke again:
"Okay, this semester's transcripts have been sent to everyone.
Students who have passed the exam, don't be complacent. The path to magic is endless, both you and me. You are just a small student.
Students who failed to pass the exam do not need to be discouraged. In the continent of Farnes, everyone has their own place. From a different perspective, you may be able to see more.
Next is free time, enjoy this Let’s have a banquet!”
The dean announced the start of the banquet.
A group of waiters filed in pushing the dining cart.
The delicacies that had been prepared were presented one by one and then placed on the plates in front of everyone.
In addition to their beautiful appearance and tempting aroma, these dishes all exude a strong magical atmosphere.
——Extraordinary ingredients.
Even a luxurious person like Brand has never had dinner of this quality several times.
In terms of cost, one person will eat dozens or hundreds of magic gold coins for this dinner.
There are thousands of people in the entire academy!
All I can say is that it is worthy of the wealthy Imperial Mage Academy!
After simply tasting a few bites of the dishes carefully prepared by the chefs, Brand's thoughts began to wander.
Although in his opinion, the taste of these dishes is just mediocre, and cannot be compared with the delicacies of the previous life that were embodied in the simulated world.
But I have to say that the "style" of dishes made with magic plants and magic beast meat is indeed much higher.
It's a pity that my current net worth is not rich enough.
Otherwise, the extraordinary ingredients of the Farnes Continent, combined with various cooking methods and seasonings from previous lives, would be considered the best in style.
"Oh, it's a pity. If only Mr. Holland could be more forceful."
Brand couldn't help but let out a melancholy sigh when he thought about his sadness.
Andy, who was gnawing on the animal's leg and looking intoxicated, cast a doubtful look at him.
Seeing Andy being so intoxicated by chewing on a tasteless animal leg, Brand inadvertently showed a look of contempt.
The eldest son of the earl family!
Are you so new to the world?
Putting his right hand into his pocket and taking out the seasonings he had prepared, Brand began to perform "secondary processing" on the dishes in front of him.
Looking from Andy's perspective, Brand took out several glass bottles containing unknown powder.
Then, he opened the cap of the glass bottle and sprinkled the strange powder evenly into the various dishes in front of him.
Andy was puzzled for Brand's strange behavior for two seconds.
Then he smelled a rich, indescribable, and very tempting fragrance emanating from the dinner plate in front of Brand.
Not only Andy, but also several people at the same table unconsciously cast their eyes in Brand's direction.
Although they were not very familiar with Brand and had no favorable impressions, their bodies were obedient and showed expressions of curiosity and desire.
"What kind of magic powder are you spreading?"
Unknowingly, Andy had put aside the roasted animal leg that had made him so intoxicated just a moment ago.
His head was already in front of Brand, his eyes looking directly at the dishes in front of Brand.
With that blazing look in his eyes, Brand had no doubt that Andy would reach out and rob him if the situation wasn't right.
In response to Andy's question, Brand waved his hand and explained casually:
"It's not a magic powder, it's just a seasoning like salt and refined sugar. I'm quite picky about food, and I like a stronger flavor these days. Food, so I occasionally bring some flavor-enhancing seasonings."
Although everyone looked eager, Brand didn't explain much.
Without him, it’s just unfamiliarity.
Even Andy had only known each other for half a month before he could reach the threshold of a friend, not to mention the others.
It wouldn't matter if it were other things, but these condiments were all embodied by Brad using his own abilities.
In other words, these spices are the same as coffee beans.
——Only this one, no other semicolon.
How can such a "precious" thing be shared casually with people who don't know it very well?
You must know that these bottles of powdered solid seasoning, whose combined volume is less than a cup of coffee, cost Brand two full upper limits of mental energy!
Andy naturally had no idea how "precious" these condiments were.
He asked impatiently:
"Where did you buy it? Or is this a specialty of the Holland family? But I have seen your product list, and it seems that there are no seasonings for sale, right?" He slowly
took the food from his mouth. After swallowing and wiping the grease around his mouth with a napkin, Brand responded to the curious and eager eyes: "It is
indeed a specialty of the Holland family, but because the output is very low, my family only uses it There wasn't enough of it, so we didn't sell it to anyone."
"Oh, that's right!"
After answering Andy's question, Brand seemed to have remembered something and took out the spices he had just put back in the bag.
Then he said to Andy:
"I heard that there is a specialty called Jingling Wood in your home. The ornaments made from the heart of the tree can help improve the efficiency of meditation. If you have extra, I can use these seasonings and You exchange a piece."
