Chapter 54: It's All the Potatoes to Blame

Twilight Mountains, Night.

William sat cross-legged by the fire, staring intently at the roaring bonfire, his handsome face flushed by the flames.

Throwing two dead branches into it, he looked at the dancing flames and fell into deep thought.

Isn't my purpose to build a piece of land and then pull up a team? As a result, the queen who can justifiably build the territory is lost, and the thirty or so people who have just arrived have also run away, and I have to accompany the culprit to roast the fire in the ravine, what the hell am I trying to do?

Jessica on the side had fallen into a deep sleep, and the continuous movement of the day close to the limit, coupled with the great joys and sorrows again and again, her spirit had long been tired, and she could not support it not long after the sun had just set.

William glanced at the woman who was not shallow, sighed rather helplessly, stretched out a burning stick made of a twig, and tossed the fire in her direction.

After listening to Leonard's "Glorious History (Future Edition)" during the day, this guy's face was a mixed bag, first with joy, then with disbelief, mixed with sadness, and finally into a messy wind...... This is the most complicated expression change William has ever seen in his two lifetimes, and there is no one at all.

In the impression of the female knight, her younger brother is completely a waste of wood, but now that "waste wood" is actually playing such a big game of chess, cutting off food, intercepting and killing, buying people's hearts, joining forces with each other, and excluding dissidents......

Leonard is like a nest of termites, unknowingly almost hollowing out the beams of the seemingly powerful Farrell family, and the only remaining bit of essence has been moth-ridden, and he is about to be picked up by the three churches.

Jessica also wondered if William was talking nonsense, but what he said was all too true, and even some of his brother's little habits were clear, and he was also familiar with the fox friends who were often around him, as if he had been with Leonard for a long time

The secret agents of the royal family are terrifying!

Second brother...... Andy sent so many scouts and spies that he never found a trace of these spies, as if those people didn't exist at all, and his own fiefdom leaked like a sieve, allowing those spies to come and go as they pleased.

Many secrets that even she didn't know very well were like notes on the table that could be consulted casually, and they were told one by one by this indifferent man.

She didn't really care about the discrepancy in intelligence, after all, she didn't care if the Farrell family would be destroyed, and she was even happy to see it.

But what made her most difficult to accept was that she and Andy's marching goals, supply routes, and even the configuration and weaknesses of the professions around her were all sold to the people of the Love Church. While he was thinking about risking everything to save him, Leonard wanted to kill him with him? Why did he hate me so much? Just because I was also qualified to inherit the title!

Jessica, who was full of joy and sorrow, fell into confusion, and her eagerness to save her brother also faded. As for her father and two older brothers, who might be in danger, she had no intention of reporting the news, and if it was possible, she would even like to do it herself.

......

"Beep, beep. ”

The orange-red flames licked greedily at the dead branches, and every now and then a small cluster of charcoal dust blew onto the knightess's face by the cool night wind.

Jessica, who was in a lump around the fire, moved twice, then rubbed her eyes, climbed up with the gray fire rat skin blanket on her body, and looked at William with some confusion.

William didn't speak, his eyelids lifted up, and he roughly calculated the time according to the position of the moon in the sky. It is estimated to be around four or five o'clock in the morning, and it is not far from the time of dawn.

Glancing at Jessica, who was sleeping with a face full of prints, he said lightly: "Woke up? You haven't eaten for most of the day, you should be hungry, right?"

Picking a little between the middle of the fire with a branch, William reached over his armoured hand and pulled it twice in the hot soil, turning out two round things.

The two children's heads were supposed to be the rhizomes of some kind of plant, with a thin, earthy gray skin that was not good-looking, and a scarred knotted skin, but it gave off the aroma of cereals.

William rubbed off the thin skin on the outside with his armor and threw one of them to Jessica.

"Whew!

The female knight didn't expect him to throw it directly, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up. However, she did not wear armor like William, and as soon as her white fingertips touched it, she was scalded back by the scorching heat.

Under the conditioned reflex, she hurriedly returned her hand to touch her earlobe, and the ash food fell to the ground at once, and the bones rolled back into the fire.

William's wrist flicked, and the green branch shook off the three sword flowers, and inserted it with a pole, but it was still stained with a lot of soot.

"Hey"

William sighed, untied the strap on his wrist, and handed the wrist part of the Silver Knight's armarmour along with the hot and dusty rhizome on it. He took the branch, blew the newly stained dirt on the rhizome, lowered his head and gnawed silently.

Jessica smiled embarrassedly, holding William's hand armor, and took small bites to nibble on the gray puffing plant roots, the well-bred female knight's mouth was open very small, but the white and tender cheeks chewed fast like a little hamster, and it seemed that she was hungry fiercely.

William finished his share in two bites, turned his head sideways and began to watch Jessica nibble on the "big gray potato".

The knightess noticed his gaze, smiled generously, reached out and broke off half of the part she hadn't gnawed on, and handed it to William.

William shook his head and pushed Jessica's small hand back.

The female knight did not let in any more, but followed William's example, and ate her share in three bites, and then ate the one that was broken for William.

Because she ate too quickly, there were a lot of pale gray residues on her cheeks, and she looked like she had grown a beard, and the murderous female knight with a frosty face didn't know when she became a somewhat cute foodie.

"Are you full?" asked William faintly.

"Well, it's full, I can't eat anymore. As if she had forgotten all the bad things about the day, Jessica patted her lower abdomen childishly and smiled sweetly.

"It's good if you can't eat it. ”

William nodded approvingly, then reached into the pocket on the inside of his coat, pulled out a large handful of jerky, stuffed it into his mouth one by one, and chewed it.

“......”

Jessica stared at the jerky in William's hand in a daze, stretched out her little tongue and licked her lips subconsciously, licking all the soot on it into her mouth.

"What do you see me doing? Can't you eat it?" William munched on the jerky and stared at her flatly.

"I ......"

The female knight was a little confused, in her twenty-six years of life, she had tasted scolding, insulting and scolding, received praise, compliments and praises, and suffered alienation and even ridicule, but it was the first time she had been teased.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and a little annoyance welled up in her heart, but it was more of an inexplicable warmth.

The female knight, who could easily kill a small team of professionals, hesitantly stretched out her white and tender slap, and slapped William lightly, so light that she couldn't even beat the mosquitoes, as if she was afraid that this slap would knock him away if it was heavy.

Maybe she hadn't fought with anyone for a long time, she didn't even know what to say at this time, and after patting William in disgust, she only spit out a nasty sentence dryly, and then subconsciously reached out to grab the jerky in William's hand.

With a smug smile on his face, William threw most of the jerky into his mouth in one go, and raised the rest of the jerky high with one hand, dodging Jessica's hands with the advantage of his height.

Obviously, she could get those jerky when she stood up, but the female knight was still like a fool, sitting on the ground and trying to reach for those ordinary jerky jerky, and her face unconsciously bloomed with a smile.

At this moment, Jessica only had those jerky worth a few copper plates left in her eyes, and those heavy hearts were thrown out of the clouds by her.

A somewhat cold wind blew

"Hmm!" a muffled snort of pain came from William's mouth.

"Smack. A slightly warm drop of liquid fell on Jessica's face, and the smile on her face froze as she stared blankly at William's palm.

The jerky in William's hand was gone, and along with the jerky, the two fingers of his right hand were gone.

"William!"
