Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 10 The Broken Aristocracy

Bishop Darren stared at the candle on the table in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Who the hell is that girl enveloping in, and why is the breath on her body so familiar to me? Bishop Darren said to himself

"It can't be that the Templars have sent someone to arrest me, the little priest who has defected. Bishop Darren said self-deprecatingly, and then buried himself in his chair.

"I've done all these things, let alone the Templar, and even a forgiving saint can't forgive me. Bishop Darren thought to himself, and the embodiment of holiness and goodness came to his mind.

"God's glory should not stop there! God loves the world, but not only man! You are perverting God's will!"

I remembered that the holy woman's face was flushed at that time, and that the holy woman still saved face for those people, and did not scold the most excessive words, but still woke up many young priests and priests.

"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden!" Darren suddenly woke up, and suddenly remembered that the aura on the girl's body was very similar to the aura of the later saint, it was so gentle and all-inclusive

"What's wrong? “

When Darren remembered where he had felt that familiar breath, the familiar voice pulled his thoughts back.

I don't know when there was already a man with a red wine glass sitting on the other side of the table, his slightly reddened eyes were very strange in the light of the candle flame.

"Dear Uncle Darren, leave those two outsiders to me to deal with, no one can spoil the peace of this town, no one!"

The figure crushed the goblet in his hand, and scarlet liquid flowed from the man's palm, whether it was wine or blood from the shards piercing his palm.

......

Old John looked at Zhao Xi and the others sitting opposite him, especially Zhao Xi, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he felt in his heart that this good-looking boy must have poured some ecstasy soup into his daughter.

"It's the luck of the two of you to meet Old John and little Dorothy, otherwise none of the houses in this town will let you stay, just wait to sleep on the grass!" said Old John with a dark face.

"Yes, yes, Uncle John is a good man, or I don't care, my companion would have suffered. Zhao Xi accompanied the smiling face, while thinking in his heart that the exclusion of outsiders in this town was more serious than he thought.

Old John looked at Zhao Xi's smiling face, and when he saw Cornelia next to him, the anger in his heart couldn't help but disappear, and he snorted coldly without speaking.

"Alright, Mr. John, it's not a good habit to get angry before eating!" said Dorothy with a smile, holding the freshly heated brown bread and vegetable soup on the table in front of everyone.

Zhao Xi smelled the aroma of bread and thick soup, and his stomach had already begun to protest, eating fruits and chocolates for such a long time, although he said that he would not die of hunger, but it was still a little uncomfortable to eat too much sour things on an empty stomach.

Old John glanced at Zhao Xi, took a piece of black bread for himself and Dorothy respectively, and pushed the remaining black bread directly to Zhao Xi and the others.

"Eat, eat, eat! But we still have to pay for food and lodging, after all, our family is not a wealthy family. Old John took a bite of bread and said.

Dorothy seemed to blush a little when she heard her father's words, and said, "It's just a meal, there are no good things, no money or anything." “

Zhao Xi grabbed a black bread and took a big bite directly, although the taste was rough, not as smooth as the bread he had eaten before, but the wheat flavor was still very strong, and the main thing was that this was the staple food! Zhao Xi's tears were about to fall at this time, and the comfort of finally eating the staple food was really great.

Hearing Uncle John's voice, Zhao Xi directly took out a gold coin from his backpack, put it on the table, and asked cautiously

"Are these enough?" Zhao Xi asked cautiously, after all, he didn't understand the monetary value of this world, so he could only take out a test that he thought was the most valuable.

Dorothy was shocked when she saw the gold coin that Zhao Xi took out directly, and hurriedly pushed the gold coin back and said

"It's just too much, just some brown bread and vegetable soup, I don't need so much!"

Zhao Xi didn't expect the purchasing power of gold coins to be so terrifying, after all, he still had more than a dozen gold coins and dozens of silver coins in his backpack, all of which were easily touched from monsters, which belonged to windfalls, and he didn't feel much of it.

Old John looked at Zhao Xi with a blank look, and suddenly felt that the kid in front of him must have a good family background, so he directly took the gold coins pushed away by Dorothy back to his side.

"Dad, what are you doing! it's too much!" Dorothy cried as she watched old John do it.

"What are you doing? Of course you are collecting money!" said Old John, putting the money directly into his pocket, "I will not fool them, and tomorrow I will buy back the white bread and beef, and I will charge the corresponding fee." “

Old John took a sip of the soup and said, "And when they leave, I will find them the unused money." “

"Mr. John, you're going to get into trouble if you're so greedy for money!" said Dorothy, puffing up

"I'm called getting paid fairly, little Dorothy, and I'm not saving so hard for you. Old John took the last bite of the brown bread and said with a smile, "And this gentleman won't mind!"

Zhao Xi was eating happily, and when he heard the words about himself, he couldn't help but nodded.

After all, this town is so xenophobic, you may not even be able to buy things back when you go out to buy them, and it won't be much cheaper to buy them back, not only do you not have to go out by yourself when you give the money to Old John, but you are also happy to let Old John earn money, after all, the people who help themselves should not be paid by themselves.

Old John saw that Zhao Xi didn't care about money, and looked at Zhao Xi and asked

"Boy, I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Donne Anjou, and this is Cornelia, my companion. Zhao Xi introduced himself and pointed to Cornelia who was eating quietly next to him.

At this time, Zhao Xi reacted, and when he and the others spoke, he seemed to subconsciously ignore Cornelia, and when Cornelia didn't speak, she was simply automatically on a presence-10 buff

When Cornelia heard Zhao Xi introduce herself, she nodded to Old John and the others, and then continued to eat with her head down.

"Donne Anjou?" Old John knew when he heard the name that the young man in front of him was a nobleman, but he seemed to have heard the surname Anjou somewhere.

However, Old John looked at Zhao Xi's dress and eating appearance again, and felt that this kid was definitely a down-and-out nobleman, and he must be a dilapidated nobleman who didn't even have a title or fief.

"I said Donne, my little Dorothy would not marry a broken nobleman like you, and how could little Dorothy be a baroness in the future!" said old John vigilantly

This kid is obviously a broken nobleman who can't restore his title well, and he even takes risks everywhere, and he is so generous in his own house, he is definitely running for little Dorothy, a noble child who has achieved nothing, hum.

"What are you talking about, Mr. John!" Dorothy was already blushing and glaring at her father.

"Hmph, my little Dorothy is so beautiful, she will definitely be the material of a noble lady in the future, but she can't be displaced and suffer with some broken nobles. Old John snorted and chirped, his eyes looking at Zhao Xi from time to time.

Zhao Xi listened to what the two said, almost choked himself to death in a mouthful of soup, coughed wildly, and couldn't help but think that he was so like Lolicon?

"I don't want to be a noble lady, Mr. John!" Dorothy glared at old John, turned and ran back to her room, leaving a word.

"You can wash today's dishes!"

"When I have enough money, I will take you to Shodra, and I will definitely let you marry a nobleman and live a good life!" Old John shouted at Dorothy, but all he responded to was Dorothy's heavy slamming of the door.

"Hey, little girl. Old John put away the tableware leisurely, looked at Zhao Xi, who finally stopped coughing, and asked, "Don't you eat well?" ”

Zhao Xi nodded, and Old John put away the tableware of the two of them and walked to the kitchen leisurely.

Zhao Xi felt bitter in his heart, and turned his head to look at Cornelia, wanting to get a little comfort from here, but he didn't expect Cornelia to look at him with hopeless eyes.

"Bang!" Zhao Xi slammed his head on the table, feeling that his whole life was over.

"Mr. Donne?

Zhao Xi's voice sounded in his ears, and he raised his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw Dorothy standing next to her timidly, the blush on her face had not faded, so she looked even more beautiful.

Zhao Xi hurriedly emptied the thoughts in his head, and if he thought about it again, he really couldn't take off Lolita's hat.

Dorothy saw Zhao Xi looking at herself and whispered: "My dad wasn't like this before, my dad was helpful before, it's not like this, it's just that something happened......"

Zhao Xi waved his hand after hearing this and said, "I don't mind, Uncle John really loves you, but the way he loves you is just what he thinks is best." “

After saying this, Zhao Xi couldn't help but fall into contemplation, there is still some truth in this sentence handed down by the ancients, it is not necessarily a good thing for a commoner woman to marry into a wealthy family, although I don't know what the virtues of the nobles in this world are, but no matter where they are, people's inferior nature will not change.

"Hmm!" After Dorothy heard Zhao Xi's words, she smiled sweetly and nodded heavily.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but make a decision when he saw Dorothy's smile.

"If you have time to persuade Uncle John, it's better not to be hasty in such a thing as marriage. Zhao Xi secretly made a decision in his heart.

......

At this moment, a man hid in the shadows and looked at the old John's house, grinning silently, his brown eyes full of greed.
