I'm a chef with professional integrity. I'm paid to do my job, so I'll naturally do my best, "Meg said with a smile.
"Very good." Jérôme took a step back and glanced at the girls in the restaurant. He turned and left, instructing the orc beside him, "Take them to the main kitchen. Try to satisfy them if they have any requests. Remember, nothing is more important than tomorrow's banquet."
"Yes." The orc nodded and watched Jérôme leave. He then turned to Meg and said, "Let's go. Follow me."
Meg nodded slightly. He held Amy's hand and led the others to follow.
If the valley outside the city was like a scattered orc tribe, then the inner city was more like a small but rather magnificent city.
The ground was covered with smooth gray and black stone slabs. Neat black buildings were on both sides of the nearly ten-meter-wide road. The connected stone temples were all very tall. Statues and runes related to cats could be seen everywhere.
"This is really a tribe of cat slaves." Meg looked around and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He glanced at the right hand of the orc walking in front of him. He could see a black hemp rope on his raised wrist from time to time. He raised his eyebrows slightly and naturally looked away.
The conferring ceremony was the grandest event in a tribe. The streets were filled with orcs who were decorating everywhere. All kinds of decorations decorated the main street, making it very lively.
Meg and the others attracted the attention of many orcs, especially the beautiful girls. They were even more eye-catching.
"This is the chef in charge of tomorrow night's banquet. Behave yourselves." Behave yourselves, "the orc walking in front said in a deep voice, making the orcs who had evil smiles on their faces step back.
Hearing that it was related to the banquet, the orcs immediately dispersed. No one wanted to ruin the chief's good fortune. This was something that could cost them their lives.
"These people all have cat ears." Amy looked around curiously and whispered, "Compared to them, Sister Connie's pink ears do look much better."
"That's the symbol of nobility." Meg said softly with a smile. The Falk Tribe's bloodline could be distinguished by the color of their ears. Black and gray were the most common, and also the most common. Meanwhile, pink ears would only appear on female orcs with royal bloodline.
"So that's the case." Amy nodded with a thoughtful expression. Her gaze then fell on Ugly Duckling's orange ears, and she curiously asked, "Then what is Ugly Duckling? The one and only orange ears. "
"He's probably a heavyweight." Meg raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Those feline magical beasts were behaving rather strangely toward Ugly Duckling. It was clearly only a few months old, but those magical beasts were all expressing their submission toward it. It appeared that Ugly Duckling was indeed a very special being.
"Oh." Amy nodded. She placed Ugly Duckling on the ground, and disdainfully said, "No wonder it was so troublesome."
"Meow meow ~"
Ugly Duckling meowed aggrievedly as it looked at Amy with puppy eyes.
"Haha, then let me carry Ugly Duckling. It's so soft and warm when I carry it." Yabemiya happily scooped Ugly Duckling up in front of her chest with a happy smile.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling also closed its eyes comfortably as it snuggled in Mia's arms.
That orc seemed to have some status as he led them through all the levels, and finally stopped in front of a big courtyard. He turned around, and sternly said to Meg and the rest, "This is the main kitchen. You have to stay here for today and the next two days. You're not allowed to leave as you wish. Otherwise, no one will guarantee your safety."
Meg looked around with a smile, and asked, "May I ask where is the most dangerous place in this city?"
"To you, the most dangerous places are naturally the chief's palace in the south of the city and the prison in the north of the city. Don't go near these two places as you wish," that orc said even more sternly.
"In that case, let's do as we agreed." Meg nodded.
The orc led them into the main kitchen. The courtyard was very spacious, and there were dozens of kitchens of various sizes on both sides. Many orcs were busily going in and out with ingredients or already prepared food in their hands.
Looking at this scene, Meg was reminded of the imperial kitchen in the Rodu Royal Palace. It was just that the imperial kitchen was larger in scale, and there were also more chefs. However, their roles were the same — they had to provide food for many people at the same time.
"Wow, what a big kitchen. Are they going to provide food for the entire city?" Amy looked around in amazement.
Meg nodded, and said, "Yes. This should be the kitchen for the entire city."
That orc instructed the gatekeeper, and soon, a pot-bellied orc with a greasy face came over with a smile. He looked at that orc, and said, "Master Ken, you're here."
That orc called Ken pointed at Meg and the others, and said, "These are the chefs that Master Jérôme personally invited from Chaos City. Mr. Meg and his assistants will be in charge of the most important main banquet tomorrow. You have to cooperate fully with them, and try your best to satisfy any requests they have."
"Yes, yes." The greasy orc nodded quickly, and smiled at Meg and the others.
"Arrange accommodations for them, and treat them with the highest level of courtesy," Ken said to Meg. Then, he turned to Meg, and said, "Mr. Meg, the main kitchen will arrange dinner and accommodations for you. If you need anything, you can ask them to look for me."
"Alright, thank you." Meg nodded slightly, and watched as Ken left.
"You're that Mr. Meg who won the Best Chef award at the Roth Empire's royal banquet? I've been seeing news about you and your restaurant in magazines recently. I didn't expect to be able to invite you to host the main banquet this time. It's really an honor to meet you. " That orc looked at Meg with glowing eyes, and didn't forget to introduce himself. "I'm the person in charge of this main kitchen, Heyman. I'm in charge of the main kitchen, and I provide three meals for all the nobles in the inner city."
"Nice to meet you." Meg also greeted him with a smile. This round orc, who was at least 150 kilograms, didn't sound like he was trying to flatter him, nor was he trying to be arrogant. He was the first orc that Meg had a good impression of since he came to the Falk Tribe.
"You must be tired from the long journey. Let me bring you to your accommodations first, and then I'll get the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." Heyman brought Meg and the others to their accommodations.
There was an independent small courtyard next to the main kitchen. It wasn't luxurious, but it was still considered clean and elegant. There were four rooms, and Meg and the others could stay in them after they were allocated.
After that, Heyman brought everyone back to the main kitchen, and walked towards the dining hall.
"Have you heard? Although the main kitchen is in charge of the banquet for the conferring ceremony this time, the main banquet is handled by an outsider. Our main kitchen has been abandoned," a short and skinny chef said in the dining hall.
