Chapter 18: The Celebration Banquet
When the battle was over, Kiki ran to Myer's side, her crossbow and looked around warily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The young man on the horse did not know whether he was stunned by the strength of Meir or by the corpses all over the ground. A look of surprise froze on his face, and the gaping mouth could barely fit a grown man's fist.
Maier didn't bother with the pampered young master, and after collecting eight short knives, a short sword, two daggers, three bows, and a dozen feathered arrows, he began to strip his clothes from the corpse. He wrapped the captured weapon in his clothes and walked towards the young man with the large package.
"How? Are Bounty Hunter battles interesting? β
The young man didn't answer, just kept his expression just now, and shook his head mechanically.
"It's boring."
Maier smiled and patted the young man's thigh.
"Listen to my advice and go home. What you did before, do now, and don't blame yourself. β
With that, Maier raised his head at Kiki behind him and left with Kiki.
Admittedly, for a young man who had never killed a chicken, the job of a bounty hunter was not suitable for him at all. Today's events made him realize the reality, and he hasn't mentioned wanting to be a bounty hunter since.
Mai and Kiki returned to Liangyue City and disposed of the loot in exchange for more than 100 Wen Tairong money. He used to celebrate a little after a successful hunt, so before going home, Kiki went to the market to buy some fresh meat and fruit.
Hunts like this are usually only successful once a week because the target of the hunt is not so easy to find. The reason Maier was able to succeed so easily today was because he had picked up a bargain. There is an unwritten rule among bounty hunters: it doesn't matter who finds the prey, as long as you kill the prey, the loot is yours. So those bounty hunters who deceived the young horses to send them to death, planning to kill two birds with one stone, could only suffer this dumb loss.
It was the first time that Xiaoye and Xiaoniao had seen this kind of celebration feast. Although Maier did not treat them badly in terms of food, fresh meat and fruit were not so easy to eat. Because it's very difficult for people in this world to keep food fresh. Therefore, fresh meat and fruits are relatively expensive, and most people can only buy dry goods that are easy to preserve and relatively cheap if they want to eat meat or fruits.
"Master, is it a holiday today?"
The little bird stared at the food on the table, swallowing his saliva.
"Not really." Maier shrugged, "I just went hunting once, and I managed to hit the prey. β
"Hunting?"
The bird was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that what Maier was talking about was not hunting as normal people, but the kind of hunting that the witches often called "out on a mission".
"Hmm...... Hunt? β
Xiao Ye tilted her head suspiciously, she didn't see Maier go out with a bow and arrow, she only knew that Kiki brought a light crossbow out of the door. But the light crossbow can also be used for hunting, and it makes sense logically, so she didn't think much of it.
At this time, Kiki came back with a clay pot. Only then did Bird and Leaf notice that they and Maier both had a wooden cup in front of them, and Kiki also had one on her seat.
When Kiki uncorked the pot and poured the wine for Mel, he asked Ye and Bird, "Have you ever drunk?" β
The two looked at each other and shook their heads together.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't drunk it, it's just sake, and it tastes like grape juice. Kiki, pour them on too. β
"Yes, master."
Kiki poured wine for Leaf and Bird, and then filled her own cup as well.
"When it comes to strong wine, the strong wine from Reading is very fragrant, and I like to drink it. But Taeyong's strong liquor was so bitter that I couldn't get used to it, so I only bought it once, drank only one glass, and drank the rest by Kikiβand drank it all in one sitting. β
"Huh?"
Kiki's ability to drink surprised the other two maids, and they looked at Kiki in surprise as she secretly picked up a glass to drink, causing two red clouds to appear on Kiki's face.
"I ...... I just don't want to waste ......"
"Oh? Is it? "How did I hear that someone saved up two weeks' salary and went to the market to buy wine behind my back, only to have forgotten to bring a clay pot and simply drank it up in the shop?" β
Mel's maids are paid. Kiki is 10 Wentai Rong Money per week, and Xiaoye and Little Bird are 5 Wen Tai Rong Money per week. Girls can use their salaries to buy some things they like, and Xiaoye and Xiaoyu usually go to buy snacks, which are generally dried fruits, snacks and other things that girls like to eat.
Kiki did the same at first, but since she tasted the wine at the celebration party, her consumption has changed from snacks to various drinks. After Meier's test, Kiki's alcohol consumption is not ordinarily large, and it seems that she can't get drunk no matter how much she drinks.
"Huh?!! Host...... How could the owner know about this?! β
When Kiki heard what was going on, the red clouds on her face immediately spread, dyeing the roots of her ears red.
"When I passed by the shop, the owner told me that he was surprised β of course, more than he was."
"Hmm...... Master, you're laughing at me again......"
"Haha! Sorry sorry, I don't laugh at you anymore. Maier raised his glass, "Don't look at the two of you, it's a celebration feast, you can eat if you want, drink if you want, you're welcome." β
The bird was waiting for this phrase from Mel. As soon as he finished speaking, the bird eagerly filled himself with a bowl of potato stew, then grabbed an apple and nibbled on it. Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then also filled himself a bowl of chicken soup, pinched a grape and put it in his mouth.
Kiki didn't eat much, she drank without saying a word, and after a few breaths, she drank a glass of sake. Maier knew that to Kiki, sake was no different from water, so he said to Kiki, "Kiki, there are two jugs of strong sake from Iraa in the cellar, which Yishan gave me before, you go and get one jug." β
As soon as Kiki heard that there was strong wine to drink, she immediately put down her glass and trotted to the cellar to get it. In fact, she had known about the existence of these two bottles of strong wine, but she did not dare to touch them without Maier's order, and today she was able to do so.
When Kiki came back from taking the wine, Xiaoye and Xiaoyu were already dipped in the wine. These two men had no resistance to alcohol, and after only half a drink, their faces were already flushed.
"Whew...... Hehe...... Hey, hey, hey...... Host...... Master, I ...... And I will tell you, ...... Sky! I...... Grow so big, today is ...... I'm the happiest...... One day! β
The bird stretched out two fingers and shook its body as he spoke.
"Although...... But that little ...... No, hit me...... Slap in the face, but ...... But! I...... No grudges! Original...... Forgive her! That...... What do you mean by that? Big...... Adult ......"
"Adults don't care about villains."
Kiki reminded the bird with a gloomy face as she held the flask.
"That's right! Big...... People don't remember small ...... People too! She...... So small...... I...... So big! So...... Don't remember her grudges...... Don't remember her grudges...... Well...... Although she is small...... But her **** is not small...... I'm the most eye-catching! It's her pair of nasty ****! β
"Oh, really?"
Kiki stood motionless behind the bird, her eyes squinted and a murderous smile on her lips.
"That's right! That's it! β
The bird raised its hands and drew a circle in the air with unknown meaning.
"Ming...... Obviously smaller than me! But it's bigger than me! It's not fair! β
"I see."
Kiki placed the flask on the ground and tilted her head inquiringly at Maier across from her. Mel made a "please feel free" gesture to her, and Kiki grabbed the bird's face with her fingers, pulling her skin hard at both sides.
"Ah!!h
The bird was in pain and leaned his head back, resting it on Kiki's chest.
"Huh? This touches ...... This size ...... Not lobule...... That's the little one...... Hey...... Because the master has no milk-!!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!! β
"Even if you say bad things about me, you dare to say such disrespectful things in front of your master-"
As soon as Kiki was about to get angry, Maier shook her hand.
"Alright, alright. Kiki, she's drunk and talking nonsense. Besides, it's a celebration feast, so let them be casual. β
"Yes, master."
Kiki let go of the hand that was pinching the bird's face, picked up the flask and returned to her place.
Xiao Ye's situation is much stronger than Xiao Bird, at least on the surface, she is awake. But in fact she was also drunk and lost her mind. She looked at Mel now as if she were on fire, making her very uncomfortable.
"That...... Xiaoye, is there anything on my face? β
"No, master." Xiao Ye blushed slightly and shook his head, "In Xiao Ye's heart, the master will always be a perfect existence. β
"Uh...... Thank you for the compliment, but this compliment makes me proud, so I don't take it to heart. β
"No, master, you will always be the most perfect in Xiao Ye's mind-"
"Ahem! Cough! β
Xiao Ye's explicit confession made Qiqi very unhappy, and she coughed a few times, trying to attract Xiao Ye's attention to her side. But Xiao Ye ignored her, her eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and she stuck to Meier.
Xiao Ye feels that the master is like the sun in the sky, Xiao Ye is the ant on the ground, as long as he can look at the master from afar, it is Xiao Ye's happiness. Xiao Ye can now see his master every day, so Xiao Ye is already the happiest person in the world. β
Drunk Xiaoye, his language ability suddenly improved by several notches. Her words made Myer's heart beat a few times, and the temperature on her face rose rapidly. He hurriedly took a large sip of sake, wanting to cool his cheeks, but he didn't want to take a sip of wine, which made his cheeks even hotter.
Xiao Ye didn't notice Meier's predicament at this time, and continued to express his true emotions.
"Every night before going to bed, Xiao Ye will feel the presence of the master. The little bees in the air flew towards their master's room as if they were scrambling. Xiao Ye often thinks like this, Xiao Ye wants to become one of the little bees and fly to-"
"Poof!!!
When Xiao Ye said the second paragraph, Maier took another sip of wine. When he heard the words "those little bees in the air" and "flying towards the master's room like a scramble", he sprayed a gulp of wine on the face of the sitting bird. The bird, who was already excited, didn't care about these little things at all, just gulped down the food, and ate the food into his stomach along with the wine on his face.
When Maier first began to learn about Leting's magic, Gray gave him an analogy. He asks Mair to imagine the magical elements as fireflies flying freely in the air, and asks him to use his dominance to attract these fireflies to his side. Drawing magical elements from the air to your side is the foundation of Leitin's magic and the starting point for all magical skills.
There is no doubt that what Xiao Ye felt before going to bed was the magical element that was attracted to Meier's side. And the only one who can do this is someone who has the talent for Leiting's magic.
