The candlelit hall was filled with the smell of intoxicating wine, and the mercenaries, who had been licking blood from their knives and living in battle and killing, were now dressed in well-fitting dresses and feasted on their food under the service of their attendants.

Located on the edge of the kingdom, the flavor of Bunajien is very different from that in the center of the kingdom, and the dishes of Bunagien are more rugged than those delicate side dishes, like the wild forests of eternal night.

Suckling pig is charred and fragrant, the golden fat reflects the candlelight, the fragrant whole wheat bread is a rarity in this region, and the juicy meat has a long and lingering aftertaste, the mushroom soup with cream brings out the flavor of the minced meat, and the mellow red wine is intoxicating.

Sparks crackled on the charcoal, and the cool autumn breeze could not enter the warm mansion, and the wine was thick, as if this was not some town where the magic tide was coming, but inside a castle of singing and dancing.

Grandia Ulysses was the focal point of the party.

The fifteen-year-old girl was dressed in a lace dress, her green eyes seemed to ripple with water, her blonde hair was tied in a bunch at the back of her head, revealing her small ears and a reverie neck, the aquamarine necklace and the slight snow white exposed on her chest formed a beautiful contrast, the slim long skirt outlined the slender waist, the slender legs looming under the skirt, and the boots carefully tanned by the top leatherman, Grandia deserved to be the first beauty of Bunajien, which attracted everyone to a trance.

There seemed to be a smile on the corner of Netherland's mouth, it was the first time he had seen Miss Grandia in such a dress, even though he had a lot of experience, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, as if something was making a fuss in his heart, and he was about to burst out.

"It is amazing that Mr. Nedland has shown great courage today and single-handedly killed two Assassins. ”

It was a middle-aged man with gray temples who spoke, and he was also one of the seven people who passed the assessment, named Karlock, the last person to pass before Karn was promoted.

"It's all about everyone's help, and I'm just making up for it. ”

Nedland said modestly, and at the same time peeped at Grandia out of the corner of her eye, but the cold beauty did not look at this side at all, and only sipped the red wine in an elegant posture.

"With Mr. Nedland here, the trip will be pretty smooth. ”

On the other side, the young blue-haired man said, his name is Lance, a mercenary from the north, his strength has just reached the level of Black Iron, but he is good at using spears, but he is quite a distinctive guy.

At this time, anyone could see that the Netherlands was the most prestigious person in the crowd except Baron Ulysses, so that almost everyone gathered around the two of them, and only two ladies were out of the crowd.

One is the baron's daughter Grandia, and the other is the red-haired alchemist Lena.

Grandia originally wanted to see the only woman among the seven mercenaries, but who knew that Lena had been indulging in food since the opening of the table, and saw a large piece of roast suckling pork on her table, and the red-haired woman just picked up the white bread and dipped it in the broth and swallowed it in her stomach, as fast as a man.

It seems like...... Very hungry look.

Grantia thought to herself that most of her knowledge of the outside world was based on church texts taught to her by her tutor and knightly novels she read privately, and that she had the impression that the mercenaries were a bunch of unruly and free creatures.

This impression was reinforced by what she had seen during the day, and even though Grandia had no good feelings for the Netherlands, the mercenaries' mighty fighting appearance still made Grandia yearn for it.

However, it was the first time that Grantia had seen such a mercenary who devoured and did not have the slightest chic posture.

Grantia naturally saw Lina's strength, but the girl in front of her, who was eating meat, was far closer than the powerful mercenary status.

Wanting to talk, but thinking that it would be too shameless if she took the initiative, Grantia stared at Lena until the foodie cleaned up the piece of pork on the plate, raised his head, and the two exchanged eyes.

“...... That's what you invited me to eat. ”

It was a moment later that Lena said this, with an expression that even if I was to spit it out, she reached for the plate with the pieces of meat.

“...... No, that's not what I meant. ”

Faced with this development, Grantia was speechless for a while, and only whispered for a long time.

"I know what you're thinking, Miss Grandia, you were born into such an aristocratic family, you don't know the difficulties of mercenaries, sometimes I'm out dealing with commissions, and there is no normal food to eat, air-dried bacon and tooth-shutting bread are already the best food. ”

Lena said as if explaining, and then took a sip of the fragrant broth.

"So every time I go to town, I eat more, because no one knows if the next meal will be grass roots or tree bark. ”

Grantia's eyes widened slightly, which sounded strange to her, and in fact until Lena told her, the aristocratic daughter thought that mercenaries would hunt on their own in the wilderness, roast rabbits or wild boars, sprinkle spices in their pockets, and feast on them.

“...... Please enjoy it slowly. ”

Eventually, faced with the fact that it was a little far from her fantasy, Grantia could only reply, and then fell silent again.

......

Similar to the brightly lit mansion of Baron Ulysses, in the middle of the town of Regios, in the corner of an ancient castle made of gray brick and stone, several well-dressed nobles were enjoying dinner.

"Father, we can't just leave this matter at that!"

The young man with pale blonde curls said resentfully, it was Verus Aatrox, the future master of Regios.

"Verus, don't be so impulsive. ”

The white-haired man in the chairman's position wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf and said with his eyes half-closed.

He was the lord of Regios, Baron Bronn Aatrox, and in the afternoon he had learned that Ramos, who had been his most important man, had been killed in Bunaguinn, along with two of his bodyguards, and had received a letter from Baron Ulysses, questioning why his men had colluded with the cultists.

"Koramos, he ......"

Verus stopped talking, only pounding the mahogany tabletop, causing the plate to tremble.

"Ramos Torenya secretly colluded with the cultists, deserved it, and expelled his family from Regios for good, and I, Bronn Aatrox, swear in the name of Lord Regios, that the Aatrox family has nothing to do with the cultists, and that Ramos's arbitrariness in this assassination was intended to provoke hatred between the two families. ”

Baron Aatrox said slowly, and the clerk on the side hurriedly wrote down what he said on parchment.

"Just write back to Baron Ulysses. ”

"Father!"

Veruston was a little excited, and in his opinion, this act was too flattering to the hillbillies of Bunajien, who was born in the era when Regios was in the midst of its prosperity and declined, and had witnessed the city's most prosperous times, and thought that Bunagien was just a fluke, and looked down on him.

"By the way, as an atonement, the dog Verus Aatrox will go to Ultramarine Fortress with Zelas to escort Miss Grandia to open the defensive phalanx. ”

Hearing Baron Aatrox's words, Veruston, who was still a little dissatisfied, seemed to understand something, and he looked at his father, his eyes were no longer angry, only full of anticipation.

It was the hunter's gaze.
