Soldiers who had been on the battlefield knew the value of good food.
The hardship of marching was not something that outsiders could understand.
Walking in dense forests, if they had enough energy, they could shoot some prey and have a sumptuous meal. When marching to places like the Burning Plains or the Cursed Lands, the experience was enough to make people want to die.
It was not that there was no prey, but would anyone dare to eat those monsters that had been corroded by dark energy?
Moreover, roasted meat could not possibly be as delicious as Duque's whole roasted cow.
What else was there to care about in war?
It was already good enough to stay alive. Did they not see that even the crown prince of Kurdilas had died? Other than the Dalajan's Pharaoh who could not sleep well, eat well, and would not work if their babies were not happy, the entire Alliance, from soldiers to generals, did not care so much.
But this did not mean that they had no need for good food!
Kings and nobles would carry spices in private. Yes, it was something from Duque's side. At the height of the war, the Alliance had a saying about the 'Golden Plant'. It meant that Duque's spices were more expensive than gold.
Of course, it was not because Duque was so expensive, it was because of the unscrupulous merchants.
The big shots of the Alliance naturally had Duque's supplies, but the nobles below were not so lucky.
This was where Duque was smart. Others profited from war and were criticized by everyone, but when Duque made a fortune, no one could complain. Because in terms of armaments, Duque was absolutely selfless and did not skimp. But food and spices were not necessities, right? They were luxury goods, right?
Yes, those unscrupulous merchants mentioned above were all secretly Duque's people.
You could choose not to buy, no one would force you to buy.
It was just that other people ate well and drank spicy food, while you could only eat tasteless white bread. Don't blame other nobles for looking down on you.
Faced with spices that were inflated by unscrupulous merchants, good nobles would cry and dig into their wallets.
After fighting a big war against the Beastmen, the nobles' wallets had shrunk, except for Duque.
As for how much money Duque had, he did not know. After ten million, Duque stopped counting.
Alright, I'll set a small goal. Before Ner 'zhul arrives …
I'll earn 100 million from him first!
At this time, because Karazhan had isolated part of the space, there was no cold wind blowing in, so it became a very pleasant thing. The group of heroes ate barbecued meat, drank wine, and looked at the beauties eating ice cream in the middle of the ice and snow.
Actually, Duque's ice cream wasn't that amazing. According to his standards, it was about 60% of the original version. The fragrance of the milk was enough, and the taste of the red beans was also not bad. The white sugar added was not refined enough, but it was still passable.
The biggest difference was the smoothness of the ice cream.
The enjoyment of top-notch ice cream wasn't something that Duque's imitation could compare to.
However, the ladies didn't know!
They only knew that the snow that they had seen a lot of could also become a delicacy after being condensed.
One by one, the top beauties in Azeroth, stretched out their soft lilac tongues and licked the ice cream without being taught. The scene was really pleasing to the eye.
Accompanied by the white, half-melted ice cream, the seductive little tongue faintly swam between their bright red lips.
Because even Alexstrasza's human form was based on the template of the High Elves, everyone saw the four Elven beauties squinting their long and charming phoenix eyes, stretching their eyebrows that were longer than human's, and enjoying the delicacy.
If they didn't know that this had nothing to do with flirting, anyone would mistake it for some kind of temptation or invitation.
The men weren't too interested in ice cream. They recognized it as a delicacy, but they were more interested in the roast beef.
Muradin and the two Paladins were eating meat and drinking wine, while Beneditas chatted with Theon from time to time.
Edwin and Rhonin were both Duque's subordinates, and the two tactfully went to the side to chat.
Only Duque, the three Windrunner sisters, and the Red Dragon Queen were left together.
Duque didn't have that many scruples. One was the golden thigh of the dragons that he had to maintain a good relationship with, two were his own women, and Cirvanas, who was both his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
Duque didn't mind.
Unlike the foodie Alexstrasza, Aurelia seemed to be a bit upset that Duque didn't bring out such delicious food earlier.
When it came to food, Aurelia gave in to the queen, but her words made the queen choke. "It's fine, Your Majesty, eat more. I'm by Duque's side anyway. When we sisters want it, Duque can make it for us. "
The queen's eyes were plaintive.
Sasha, on the other hand, didn't pay any attention. Seeing Duque looking at her, Sasha returned a slightly seductive look. She glanced at Duque in a seemingly calm but flirtatious manner, then gently licked the ice cream on her seductive red lips. She narrowed her eyes slightly and began to concentrate on melting the ice cream in her mouth bit by bit.
Cirvanas was extremely conflicted. She looked at Duque, who was both her brother-in-law and her brother-in-law. He wasn't particularly good at fighting, but every time he did something earth-shattering.
At the age of seventeen, he led the entire Alliance and won one great battle after another.
Not long after he killed Nesario, he came to borrow the Red Dragon Queen's hand to kill a Greater Demon.
If she really wanted to choose a man who was not inferior to Duque, she really couldn't find one.
However, as the most rebellious of the Windrunner sisters, Cirvanas was disdainful of her third sister's private proposal to get close to Duque.
Hmph! I'd rather be single than make do. Uh, this Ha-something-root ice cream is really delicious.
On the other side, the queen had already turned her resentment into appetite.
Or perhaps, her taste buds had already been destroyed by the terrible taste of raw meat and tasteless barbecue for ten thousand years.
She was already overjoyed when she sneaked into Rotterdam last time. Now that she was eating this delicious food, she was so happy that she cried.
"Woo woo! It's so delicious! I've lived for more than twenty thousand years, and this is the first time I've eaten something so delicious. Woo woo — "
The Queen had actually learned the Master Level Ice Cream Eating Godly Skill.
It wasn't just her exquisite ice-cream eating skills, but also the intoxicated expression on her face as if she was about to orgasm. It gave Duque a strange sense of comfort.
Perhaps every chef hoped that their customers could truly enjoy the fruits of their labor.
This wasn't some kind of acting. Duque had once seen a set of Spirit of Drugs — oh, no, Spirit of Halberd Eating — manga. The women in it would feel numb all over when they ate something delicious.
At that time, Duque thought it was exaggerated. He didn't think that he would actually see it in real life now.
This wasn't acting. The intoxicated expression of the beauties in front of him was the truest reflection of their feelings.
Suddenly, a system notification appeared. "Congratulations, Host. Your reputation in the Dragon Slumber Shrine is now [Worship]!"
"Huh!?"
