The main course was decided.
Next came the side dishes.
Actually, "side dishes" might not have been quite right.
All he could say was that Hoolay was one hell of a substantial dish.
Among these ingredients, only Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow was worth more than Hoolay.
Nothing for it. Bloodline superiority and all that.
But with so many people and so many mouths to feed, even eating all of Hoolay wouldn't be enough.
