Chapter 194: Origin
"I'm here today to invite you to participate in this Holy Cauldron War."
Marcus gets straight to the point.
There was a hint of surprise in Qian Chen's eyes, he learned about the Holy Cauldron War from the system, and Qian Chen knew that sooner or later, he would definitely be involved in this strange war.
Qian Chen did not directly agree.
"Mr. Marcus, can you tell me about this Holy Cauldron War?"
"Of course! Even if you don't mention it, I will take the initiative to explain it in detail for you. ”
Marcus paused, organized his words, and said slowly.
"This Holy Cauldron War has been going on for hundreds of years.
The Holy Cauldron War originated in the 18th century, when the whole of Europa was said to have trembled under the intimidation of Napoleon the Great, and many European countries were eager to produce another emperor to rival Napoleon.
It was against this background that the patriarch of the Einzberen family in Germany put forward a very bold idea: since the strength of one country cannot give birth to a king, then it is better to concentrate the strength of many countries. ”
Saying this, there was a hint of awe in Marcus's eyes, obviously in awe of the patriarch of the Einzberen family, who had never been masked.
In fact, it is also true that in order to unite the forces of nations, it is necessary to break down the perception of the door. In ancient times, no matter which country it was, it was very taboo about these.
Marcus took a sip of tea and continued.
"The nations were very interested in this bold idea.
So we joined in with Great Britain, Russia, Germany, Italy, Romania and other European countries.
However, Russia and Romania had a good relationship because they had a common enemy, Turkey, which was then the Ottoman Empire.
Germany and Italy joined forces against France because of regional culture and other reasons.
So our country pulled in India, which was once our colony.
At this time, the Japanese heard the news somewhere and offered to join the plan.
In order to prevent the Japanese from sabotaging it, and at the same time, in order to have one more country and one more strength, we had to let the Japanese join in. ”
Marcus had a look of disgust on his face, obviously dissatisfied with Japan's actions to take advantage of the fire.
"Those Japanese, obviously have the protection of the Celestial Empire, but they are bent on breaking away, I really don't understand what they are thinking?"
Marcus couldn't help but grumble.
The history of this world is indeed as he said, due to cultural differences, the Celestial Empire did not practice high-pressure rule like the French Empire, oppressing all the surrounding countries.
On the contrary, as long as they obediently make offerings every year and put on a posture, the Celestial Empire will in turn protect these nominal vassal states.
It's just that the Japanese, who are arrogant but whose lives are thinner than paper, don't think so. Every year, they regard it as a disgrace, and they are always eager to rise, eager to be free from the control of the Celestial Empire.
After a few words of grumbling, Marcus continued.
"Gathering the power of seven countries, the power of a hundred dragon chefs, it seems that the god of cooking has been moved, such a plan without any reference at all, it is really made for them!"
Speaking of this, Marcus himself sighed.
"Legend has it that this sacred cauldron contains an infinite amount of culinary knowledge, and those who acquire it will be able to obtain the path to the god of cooking."
Marcus had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"But these are just rumors spread falsely, the Holy Cauldron can only allow the Dragon Chef to be promoted to the Heavenly King, and it must also be the body of the Chef Spirit. With so many restrictions, the value of the Holy Cauldron was greatly reduced, and it was eventually reduced to a prop for cultivating the younger generation of talented chefs. ”
Marcus's words made Qian Chen deeply convinced.
If the Holy Cauldron really contained the secret of the Kitchen God, the four major culinary empires would have snatched it up a long time ago, where would it be their turn?
At this time, Marcus began to explain the rules of the Holy Cauldron War.
"Once every ten years, the Holy Cauldron War summons the culinary spirits who have made great achievements in the history of mankind in the past to engage in a halberd-like cooking duel, and the specific situation changes every year.
These summoners are what we call 'Cooks'. In recent decades, the seven countries have agreed to select only talented young chefs under the age of 20. ”
Qian Chen figured it out.
Due to the restrictions of the Holy Cauldron, its value has been greatly reduced, and the surviving Dragon Chef is unwilling to become the king of heaven in this way, so the Seven Kingdoms simply use this war as a tool to train the next generation of young cutting-edge chefs.
After all, the summoned chefs are all famous chefs in history, and as a young generation, as long as you can learn a hand or two from them, you will benefit a lot.
At this moment, a look of hesitation appeared on Marcus's face.
"Qian Chen, these royal highnesses didn't let me say it, but I think there are some things that I still have to tell you.
Her Royal Highness has paid a great price to hand over this place to you, and even her originally stable inheritance has been greatly shaken.
Some members of the cabinet and the royal family accused her of misappropriating state property for personal use in order to curry favor with the Celestial Empire. The eldest prince and the eldest princess also took this opportunity to attack Her Royal Highness. His Highness's situation is a bit difficult right now.
Regardless of what Her Royal Highness does, she does want to help you. ”
Marcus gritted his teeth and spat out a bombshell.
"Because Her Royal Highness is optimistic about you and wants you to become her guardian knight, and even make you a knight of the Round Table in the future.
Her Royal Highness once said to me: If she is going to be the next King Arthur, then you are her Lancelot. ”
Qian Chen's eyes widened suddenly, he really didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, who only had a few faces, valued him so much.
Although it turns out that she has a really good eye.
Qian Chen knew more clearly in his heart that being able to join the ancient dragon chef and even the Heavenly King's halberd battle as a helper was absolutely immeasurable for young chefs.
Otherwise, there will not be only one place for crickets in each country for ten years. It shows the preciousness of each of these places.
To be able to override public opinion and hand over this quota to him, a foreigner, without being reminded by Marcus, Qian Chen can imagine that she must have paid a great price.
Qian Chen is not a person who does not know what to do.
In the past, Liu Bei put down his body and invited Zhuge Wuhou out, and at the same time, he also achieved a good story of 'three visits to the thatched house'.
Today, Her Royal Highness the Empress of a foreign country treats him with the courtesy of a countryman, and he will surely repay her with the courtesy of a countryman.
"You want me to be your Lancelot, so what if I help you become King Arthur."
The official start of the Holy Cauldron War is a week away.
The time is not sufficient, but considering that the whole process is not dominated by Qian Chen himself, there is actually no need for much preparation.
Just before the start of the Holy Cauldron War, the restaurant in another dimension will also be opened once, and it will still accumulate the last one!
Is this considered an increase in volume without a price increase?
