Halfway through dinner, there was a thud at the door.

"My lord, you eat first, and I'll open the door. Bert wiped the grease from his mouth with a napkin and left the table to open the door.

"I just said that I smelled the aroma of food from a long distance, and I didn't disturb your dinner, right?" The person who came was the former village chief Brooke, and as soon as he came to the restaurant, he consciously found an empty seat to sit down, and his eyes kept moving the plate in front of everyone: "You go on, I'll watch you eat." ”

I have never seen such a cheeky person, saying that you continue, the horns on the corners of his mouth are about to stay, Lin Xiu waved his hand and beckoned Bert to his side: "Go and help Brooke prepare a dinner, don't bother too much, just hurry up." ”

A conspiracy smile appeared on Brooke's face.

After a while, Bert brought out a bowl of instant noodles from the kitchen and brought it to the table in front of Brooke: "I'm sorry, the food is prepared by Arya and Winona, so I can only grieve the guests to eat this." ”

"No grievances, no grievances. Brooke skillfully picked up a fork and picked up a clip of instant noodles and put it in his mouth, and his old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Brooke, you didn't come here so late just to eat, right?" Lin Xiu had already finished his dinner and asked while wiping his hands with a cloth.

"It's just a coincidence!" Brooke said vaguely, with a lump of instant noodles in his mouth.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Brooke hammered his chest twice and swallowed the lump of instant noodles into his stomach, and after relieving his breath, he continued: "However, I did have something to look for you this time. ”

"I don't know what you kid thinks of the gnoll man he met today?" Brooke said as he looked at Lin Xiu with a serious face.

Lin Xiu's opinion is bigger, if it weren't for this group of wolf cubs who suddenly came out, how could he be so embarrassed: "Don't let me see the jackals again, or I'll see one slaughtered another." ”

"I'm not talking about this, monsters that usually live in the big blue forest generally don't leave their territory easily, this time the gnolls appeared in the Blackstone Goblin tribe, I have a bad premonition. Brooke said in a heavy tone, "I have a guess that something is going on inside the Great Blue Forest, and this change has forced the monsters living in the Great Blue Forest to leave their territory. ”

"What are you going to say?" Lin Xiu couldn't understand a little, did he let him order the villagers not to hunt in the Great Blue Forest or let him go out to kill all the jackals roaming the periphery of the forest?

"I mean, the gobs who live on the outermost periphery of the Great Blue Forest may also be banished from the Great Blue Forest because of this change. Brooke let out a long breath and spoke out his concern.

Lin Xiu finally reacted: "You mean they might launch an attack on the village?"

Li Yan ate the last piece of broccoli and got up to look out the window: "I don't know how long this rain will last, if the tide doesn't stop when the tide rises, then maybe there will be a bitter battle when the tidal fishmen attack." ”

"Then what should I do now?" Lin Xiu regretted when he said this, because everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment.

Lin Xiu coughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart: "Don't worry! The changes in the Azure Forest are just Brooke's conjecture, and there are still six days left before the next high tide, in case the heavy rain stops before that?? Who can say for sure? Don't forget, now Hammond is in the stage of skyrocketing strength, whether it is the goblins that may attack the village or the tidal disaster six days later, we are not without the possibility of victory." ”

Lin Xiu's made the brothers and sisters Brooke and Barton feel a lot more at ease, after all, who would have thought that they would one day chase the gnolls?

It has only been two days since the beginning of the change in Hammond.

What will become of Hammond in the future? No one knows, and they can't guess what Hammond will be like when disaster strikes.

And the summoned characters and Chris don't have these troubles, as long as they follow Lin Xiu's orders, what's the difference between success or failure?

"Full, full. "Send over your own guess, and rub Lin Xiu's dinner by the way, Brooke's goal tonight has been achieved.

The rest is just for Lin Xiu to worry about, Brooke slapped his belly and prepared to leave.

"Brooke. Lin Xiu sat on the chair and called out with his back to Brooke.

Brooke, who was about to leave, turned his mind.

"You seem to live alone, right?" Lin Xiu asked.

Brooke paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly to hide the loneliness in his eyes: "Well, my wife left early, and I didn't marry again after that." ”

"Alone, it's lonely, right?" Lin Xiu continued to ask.

"What do you mean? Are you going to introduce me to a woman? Forget it, two people who know each other live together and have to slowly get acquainted with each other, I'm so old that I don't have that time, and I'm used to living alone. Brooke snorted, he had a guess in his heart about what Lin Xiu said, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"Stay, okay?" Lin Xiu turned around and walked in front of Brooke, looking the other party in the eye.

In this house, the system characters won't show him the way forward, the Barton siblings are too young to help him, and Chris is not a good planner.

He lacks a military advisor around him, and Brooke is a perfect fit for that role.

Judging from Brooke's ability to analyze the Goblin Army through the Gnoll events that the Goblin Army might attack Hammond, it is destined that Brooke is not a simple man.

Brooke didn't rush to agree, but looked at Lin Xiu with a hippie smile: "Do you have a salary?" ”

Lin Xiu was amused by the heart of the old naughty boy of Brooke: "There is no salary, but there is food and shelter, and if you promise, you will stay, and if you don't promise that the gate is behind you." ”

"Well, I seem to have a bit of a loss like this!" Brooke said exaggeratedly, touching his chin.

But Lin Xiu didn't look at him, and instead said to Bert, who commanded the two maids to deliver the finished dinner plates to the kitchen: "Let them stop washing the dishes, what I want to say next will be an extremely important matter." ”

"Eh, my village chief, I don't want a golden dragon a month, and it's not too much to give 30 silver wolves, right? 30 silver wolves don't give me, right? Okay, I appreciate your temper, I promised to stay. Brooke muttered to himself as he found an empty seat at the table.

Opposite the restaurant was the conference room, but there were more than a dozen people in front of him, and Lin Xiu was too lazy to move.

After everyone took their seats, Lin Xiu said solemnly: "Now I have a mine cave secret realm in my hand and I don't know where to build it, what do you think?"
