Chapter 237: The Price
After finally calming down the agitated refugees, Rossini, who was standing at the bar, did not talk to Krezer, but returned to the back kitchen, and in a few moments, he and the other two worked together to bring out a steaming cauldron full of enticing aromatic cornporridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although at first glance, the porridge has little meat in it, but the tempting fragrance it exudes also makes people smell the index finger, and for a while, the sound of swallowing saliva and gurgling in the lobby of the bar is like the sound of frogs in the field.
Seeing the situation, Rossini, who was standing at the bar, ordered the other two to distribute the polenta, and then wiped his hands while looking at the puzzled Kraser.
"You kid, I really didn't see it, your temper is quite hot, and your strength is not small, you can lift Lucas with one hand, tsk, if it weren't for Lucas patting his chest and assuring that you are a magician, I really can't believe it!"
"Don't make fun of me, what the hell is going on?"
"Actually, it's nothing, after all, I've lived in Berkeley for so many years, and I can't bear to watch these people wander the streets and starve, you can also see, this small bar is such a big place, how many people can I take in, I can't afford these people to eat and drink!" Looking at the gobbling refugees, a smile appeared on Rossini's tired face. "I didn't plan to take these people in!"
"Why did you change your mind again??" Krazer looked at the former puzzled, but he knew that when the former was at the city gate, he still prevented him from saving people, and it was only a short afternoon, how could his attitude take a 180-degree turn.
"On the way here, Lucas and I talked a lot, his child is not bad by nature, but his life experience is a little miserable!"
As he spoke, the barkeeper Rossini also stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on the top of the goblin Lucas's head, and the latter's small eyes were suddenly full of tears, and anyone who saw that pitiful appearance would feel sour in his heart.
"He lost his mother when he was a child, and he was dependent on his father for his life, and he lost his father in this disaster, and there are many more people like him."
"So he begged me if I could take in some people, even if it was to provide these refugees with some simple food and shelter from the wind and rain, and he would bear the cost of buying food!"
"What?! Bear it on him? Krazer couldn't help but blurt out when he heard this.
But apparently, the barkeeper Rossini was immersed in his own words and did not hear the former's words, while the young man Simus, who was standing beside him, shrugged helplessly and gave Krazer a bitter smile in return.
"And I was also moved by his poor life experience, my previous thoughts were really wrong, although my personal strength is small, but as long as I work hard and strive to contribute my own meager strength, I believe that one day, my behavior, my thoughts will change this cold city."
Looking at the bar owner Rossini, who was becoming more and more emotional, exuding a saint-like aura from top to bottom, Frazer and the dwarf Camoshido looked at each other with wide eyes, and the two first looked at each other in confusion, and then squinted in unison, and at the same time set their eyes on the culprit who caused the incident.
At this time, the goblin Lucas seemed to be cooperating with the words of the bar owner Rossini, wiping the tears that did not exist in the corners of his dry eyes with his thin palms from time to time, and his thin shoulders twitched from time to time.
Probably feeling the gaze of the two Krees, the former secretly glanced at the latter two with the corner of his eye, feeling the meaning contained in it, and also thinking of the consequences to be borne after the end of this matter, the goblin Lucas couldn't help but shrink his neck, and quietly moved his thin body away from Krezer.
"In that case, Mr. Rossini, I need to have a good discussion with my companion!" As he spoke, Kratzer stretched out his thick arm, and Lucas, the goblin who could not refute, immediately hugged him in the solid crook of his arm. "Just get busy with what you want to do!"
"I... Uh-uh...!! In the crook of Kraser's strong arm, Lucas, the goblin, could only utter a single word, but could only make a uh-uh sound from his throat.
After briefly dismissing the barkeeper Rossini, Kratzer gave Camossido a look at the dwarf standing to the side, who immediately shouted in understanding.
"Let's go with Boss Rossini, he's going to distribute dinner to everyone, and it's too late!"
As soon as these words fell, the entire bar hall was silent at first, and then everyone suddenly coaxed, and all gathered around the bar owner Rossini, scrambling to reach out, all wanting to get ahead of others and get the bowl of hot porridge that belonged to them.
Without anyone paying attention, Krazer grabbed the goblin Lucas, and slowly retreated to the corner quietly, and the dwarf Camosidor followed, and the two forcibly took the goblin Lucas hostage to the corner of the bar, staring at the latter viciously.
"What are you going to do?" Under the vicious gaze of the two Kraziers, the goblin Lucas covered his head with both hands, like a chick in the cold winter wind, shivering. "Don't slap your face!"
"Stand up! No one wants to teach you a lesson! Looking at Lucas, the goblin, who was afraid of being beaten, Krazer muttered.
"Really!?" Lucas, the trembling goblin, was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at the two of them with slanted eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Nonsense, I ask you, how the hell did you promise Monsieur Rossini that you paid for the food? Where did you get your gold? Kratzer asked as he stared at Lucas, the goblin leaning against the wall.
"Huh...!" Hearing this, Goblin Lucas smiled awkwardly, and his cunning eyes suddenly became erratic.
"I'm asking you! If you don't make things clear, don't try to get away with it! Looking at the erratic eyes of the goblin Lucas, Kratzer raised his eyebrows and asked fiercely. I'm not as foolish as Mr. Rossini! ”
"I don't have any gold coins, don't all my gold coins have in your pocket!" As he spoke, Lucas, the goblin, smacked his mouth at Kraser's finger with the ring, and said in a sour tone.
"Come on, those gold coins are my due reward, don't forget, in that case, I can promise you to go and save your father, it's already for the sake of old Jack's face!" Hearing the former's words, Kreeser raised his eyebrows and spoke mercilessly. "What's more, if it weren't for me, let alone your father, even your life would be in danger!"
As soon as he heard this, Lucas, the goblin who was still in a good mood and wanted to debate with Kraser, suddenly became depressed, because he knew that the truth was as the former said, it was impossible to find a strong helping hand in that almost desperate situation.
The reason why Kratzer was able to agree to him to rescue his father was because of the high remuneration he offered, and the most important thing was his uncle, who had never been masked, and he also knew that if it were not for the relationship of this Uncle Jack, whom he had never met, the former would not have risked his life to rescue his father.
What's more, without the existence of the former, the presence of the fire demon in the crater alone would have killed both of them, not to mention the terrifying dragon sleeping in the crater.
The reason why he still mentions this matter is just that he is a little unwilling, after all, such a large amount of gold coins has changed hands and become someone else's thing before it is hot.
Glancing at Kraser, the goblin Lucas involuntarily buried his head deeper, without saying a word, completely without the eloquent posture just now.
Looking at the aggrieved look of the goblin Lucas, Kraser's heart couldn't help but soften, and then he thought of the sadness of losing his father last night, he closed his mouth, took a deep look at the former, and then set his eyes on Rossini, the bar owner with a smile on his face, his sharp eyes involuntarily gradually narrowed, obviously thinking about something.
Except for the first loud shout, the dwarf Camosidor stood beside Krazer with his arms folded, and his eyes never took off the goblin Lucas, who was standing against the wall, and his face clearly showed his distrust of the latter.
"I'll keep an eye on you, goblin! Don't think I'll be fooled by your lies as easily as Krazer, I know how cunning you goblins are! Looking at the back of Kraser's gradual departure, the dwarf Camosidor suddenly turned his head to stare at the goblin Lucas, looking at him with a solemn expression.
But in the face of the threat from the dwarves, Lucas, the goblin leaning against the wall, obviously did not pay attention, and saw that he looked at the other party without fear, and then turned his gaze to Krezer, who had already left.
Goblin Lucas knew clearly in his heart that among the two people in front of him, the only one who could really make a decision was the burly young man who left, and through the short contact in the past few days, the only person who could achieve what he wanted in his heart was the former.
So the goblin Lucas did not argue with the dwarf Camosiddo as usual, but quietly cast his eyes on Kraser's body, and suddenly spit out such a sentence without a brain.
"Camosiddo, look at it! That guy, he's going to do what I want! ”
Saying this, the goblin Lucas suddenly tilted his head, staring into the dwarf's eyes, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I guess that's what you value!"
"You... You?! I don't understand what you're talking about! Hearing the words of the goblin Lucas, the dwarf Camosiddo's heart suddenly beat violently, and he subconsciously looked away, but his mouth was denying.
But after this conversation, the two of them closed their mouths in unison, and their eyes were on Kreze, who had already stood beside the barkeeper Rossini, and at the same time became silent, as if they were both waiting for something to happen.
But not long ago, in the imperial capital of Wynether, in the outer imperial city, in a simple but extremely large manor, in the hall of one of the small buildings near the edge, Rolandor Henry was pacing back and forth with a nervous expression, turning his head from time to time to look at the man sitting firmly in the chair.
"What should I do, I didn't expect such an incident to happen at the most critical moment, Tatum's fat man didn't give me face! Time is running out, and without going through the magic teleportation array in Conyounis City, it is impossible for that guy from Kreezer to return before that day comes! ”
But in the face of Rolando Henry's complaint, the man sitting in the chair still tasted the wine in his glass as if he had not heard it, and made a sip or two from time to time.
"Don't drink it, you have an idea! If that Krazer guy doesn't come back, won't all our efforts be wasted! Reaching out and snatching the other's glass, Rolando Henry drank it all in one gulp.
"Rolando, we've done enough in this matter, it's time to replace that adult!" After pouring himself a glass of wine again, the young man sitting in the chair spoke slowly.
"Look at the performance of that adult? Gregory, what do you mean...?! Rolando Henry was stunned when he heard this.
"I've already sent someone to deliver this news to the ears of that adult, and then, it's up to that adult to solve this matter!" Shaking the wine glass slightly, Gregory the black fox spoke slowly. "If such a simple thing can't be solved, then it proves that you and I are pressing the wrong person, instead of blindly participating in it, it is better to quit this feast as soon as possible and save your life!"
Hearing this, Rolandor Henry, who was originally emotional, gradually calmed down, and his trembling body that was trembling from being too excited also eased a lot, but it was not difficult to see from his trembling hand holding the wine glass that his heart was obviously not as calm as he appeared.
"Then we don't do anything and just sit here and wait?" Rolando Henry was obviously a little confused for a moment, but he knew that the decisions made by the people in front of him would never disappoint him.
"That's right, wait! But instead of sitting here and waiting, you and I will do what we have to do! When that day comes, if that guy named Krezer doesn't come back, you and I won't have to stay in the imperial capital anymore. ”
After slowly drinking the wine in the cup, Grigori the black fox slowly spat out a heart-wrenching sentence, and this is the price that all the participants of this feast need to pay.
