Chapter 333 Hasassin(2/2)
The attendant told him that the set of side dishes was called "mezze".
Then Roger saw two side dishes and seasonings in front of him.
One is a "babaganoush" made of sesame paste, olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning.
The attendant can also eat it directly with pita cakes.
Another is a cool yogurt sauce, which consists of yogurt, mint, garlic and lemon juice, ban".
The attendant introduced that it is served with barbecue, fish, dolma, pie or tabole salad, and it tastes very good.
The servants brought a starter.
This is a stuffed zucchini called "kusa".
According to the attendant, since the zucchini used only grow in summer, this is a seasonal dish that can only be eaten now.
The servant then asked: "Sir, do you want red wine or spirits?"
Roger ordered red wine.
The attendant poured his wine glass with dark red wine.
Roger saw the circle where the wine and the silver cup were in contact with it looked slightly brown.
Pons politely said the toast and toast.
Then he boasted: "This is the most precious peerless wine of 'Museumusar', the wine that only experts know about."
Roger drank and felt the scent of fruit spreading in his mouth.
He felt a little familiar, reminding him of the smell of the wine placed in the terrifyingly large wine shop at Dubai Airport when he was traveling around the world in his previous life.
Pons thus opened the conversation and said, "The State of Tripolib, which I ruled, is also called Lebanon.
“This is a well-deserved ancient wine country.
“The winemaking history here can be traced back to 3,000 years before the birth of Jesus.
"I'm not bragging. The residents here were Phoenicians. There were vague clues in the huge murals they left behind.
"The Phoenicians not only drink it themselves, but also export their wine to Mediterranean countries including Italy, Greece, Egypt and other Mediterranean countries.
“Some time ago, fishermen salvaged the Phoenician shipwreck, and the ships were rotten, but the wine in the cargo was well preserved.
"In that era, Lebanese wine was a symbol of quality and won a wide reputation."
Pons bragged about this, and seemed to feel that Roger could not be convinced, so he threw out a "big" evidence.
He said: "In the Bible, the subsection ‘Jose’ of Genesis Chapter 14 says: ‘His fame is like Lebanese wine’.
"Look, even the Bible mentions Lebanese wine and uses it to praise people's qualities. Is this wine not good?
"The Bible also mentions that the first miracle Jesus created in Lebanon was to turn water into wine in the southern city of Qana.
"Do you know this allusion? Otherwise, I will describe it in detail to you."
Roger politely disconnected the topic with a toast.
How could he not know this allusion?
When he was in the sulfur mine, he told Christo Dulles that he had heard of it.
At this time, a servant with an Arab appearance, carrying a huge wooden basin, passed through the careful search of the guards at the entrance of the hall, and walked in.
Roger's eyelids twitched for no reason, and he felt that this scene seemed familiar.
The servant who served introduced: "The fish are brought up now..."
Roger stood up with a "sudden" and remembered that when his brother Simon Chengjue was in the bloody feast, there was a catfish!
He shouted, "Stop him!"
Henk quickly stood in front of Roger.
The princess's face was pale, but it seemed that she had been so pale since the banquet.
It was a completely different look from her healthy and rosy face when she greeted Roger.
Earl Pons reacted quickly, and he quickly stood up and posed in a defensive posture, shouting: "Guard!"
The same is true for the guards at the door, and it seems that they have experienced many exercises.
They rushed in and quickly controlled the situation.
And the Arab who was in the middle of the vortex, who was holding a large wooden basin, was completely stunned.
His feet softened and he fell to the ground, and the wooden basin he was carrying hit the ground.
In the pot is a huge grouper, cooked.
It also served with rice, with toasted pine nuts, olive oil and sumac leaves.
After a false alarm, everyone sat down.
Roger apologized to tell Pons about the assassination he experienced when he was young.
When he talked about "Hassin", Pons said with deep emotion:
"To be honest, if you want to talk about your hatred for Hasshin, I'm afraid I'm still above you.
“Hassin has been haunting our family since my father Bertrand.
“They said my father broke the promise and wanted to seek justice.
"It's ridiculous. When did my father have an agreement with them? How could he have an agreement with the assassination organization of the pagans?"
Roger hesitated for a moment and asked carefully:
"Did they mean that your father failed to let those citizens go as agreed after he obtained Tripoli?"
Pons said angrily: "It has nothing to do with that matter, not to mention that my father told me that it was the first thing the citizens violated the agreement.
“But my father never told me that he had made any agreement with Hasshin.
"The reason I know is because I have been assassinated many times.
"And every time they fail to assassinate, the assassin will tell the reason for the assassination calmly and face death without fear."
Pons said and then turned the building aside, he said:
"These assassins are really strange. They don't like to assassinate secretly on weekdays, but they always like to launch assassinations on festivals, when guests come or lively occasions.
"They don't seem to care whether they can succeed or whether they can escape after the assassination.
"You should know that in such times and occasions, the precautions will usually be more stringent.
"They like to assassinate in front of everyone, and after the assassination, whether it succeeds or not, they have to tell the reason for the assassination."
Roger knows why Hasshin likes to do this.
When I was traveling in Persia in my previous life, the tour guide once introduced it seriously and pointed to the mountains north of Tehran to inform Roger Hassin's headquarters, the location of Eagle Fort.
So Roger knew very well that Hasshin was not only an assassin organization, but also a terrorist organization.
Just like in the memories of previous lives, those terrorist organizations like to launch eye-catching terrorist operations and are willing to claim various attacks.
