Loud slogans and neat footsteps echoed in the playground. Dressed and washed, Alice and Luna walk out of the stone house side by side, enjoying the warm sunshine.

"It's another lively morning. Luna stretched and looked at the soldiers running in columns, "It's like a new world, and what you see and hear is beyond your imagination. ”

"yes. Alice's fair cheeks bloomed with happiness: "Walking out of the castle, out of the black stone collar, I found that the outside world is so wonderful, so wonderful." ”

"I really want to stay here forever. Ha~" Luna wiped her nose, and a scent came from the air, whetting her appetite.

Following the smell and looking over, a pot of stewed meat was steaming, and in the vegetable garden not far away, Qin Song's figure was shuttling through it, as if he was picking something.

"Good morning, Qin, do you need help?" The two of them came to Qin Song like cheerful magpies, both with warm smiles on their faces.

Looking at these two sunny and lovely girls, with their warm smiling faces, Qin Song nodded lightly with a wonderful sense of satisfaction: "Do you want to make a different breakfast by yourself?"

"Of course!"

As the heir of the foodie empire, Qin Song has an indescribable hometown feeling for eating, although his cooking skills are not too good, but in this world, he is definitely a top cook.

When the noodles were made yesterday, an old piece of noodles was left behind, covered with a damp cloth and naturally fermented overnight to become natural yeast. Under Qin Song's guidance, Alice and Luna began their first cooking lesson, noodles.

Well, this is for the sake of the future, Qin Song can't cook by himself every time, and cultivating two beautiful and cute little chefs is a top priority.

The dough is constantly changing shapes in their hands, and they are able to make wonderful dishes with their own hands, which brings them plenty of fun.

"Alice, do you see, does it look like a big bug?"

"Wowhaha, I pinched a bunny. ”

"Luna, your face has dropped ......"

After some effort, the mixed dough is kneaded into small dough, and then rolled into palm-sized dough, which is neatly stacked on a hot iron plate.

After a while, the browned baked pancakes on both sides were freshly baked. Qin Song on the other side scooped out the stewed meat from the pot, chopped it with a kitchen knife, added the picked wild pepper shreds, and mixed them together.

Then cut the pancakes, add stewed meat and pepper filling, and then pour a rich broth, and the otherworldly version of the meat sandwich bun was born.

As soon as she took a bite into the gravy-scented meat bun, Luna puffed out her cheeks and burst into tears, she had never eaten anything so delicious, and she had almost killed her body with bread. suddenly felt that the first half of her life was all in vain.

Alice felt the same way, she never thought that just wheat flour could make such a delicious meal, which completely subverted her perception.

Perhaps, this is the charm of knowledge!

This feeling made her very intoxicated, and she suddenly discovered that the world was far from being as simple as she saw and thought, and everything was full of wonderful knowledge and usefulness.

And all of this was brought to her by Qin Song.

After enjoying the chic breakfast, Qin Song announced a decision to the two of them - to be a guest in the Black Stone Territory. Due to the limited materials in the canyon and the limitation of the first line of sky, it also brings great difficulties to the delivery of materials, and the best choice is to take the initiative.

......

A caravan sailed through the Blackstone Canyon, and Robles, a stonemason from Waterdeep, was crammed into the cramped carriage of the carriage, breathing in the foul air, and in a terrible mood.

As a stonemason in the guild, Robles could have survived well in Waterdeep with his exquisite craftsmanship, but he never imagined that one day he would be reduced to the edge of poverty and desolation.

Even halfway through, he regretted signing the contract himself.

"Hey, Robles. Why are you crying with a sad face?" Crowded around him was Marbury, a blacksmith with a brown beard, who had been a blacksmith's apprentice, but before he could fully learn how to black, his master died of a sudden illness, and he had to rely on his half-baked skills to build some farm tools to support his family.

However, his wife is too capable of giving birth, and the birth of four sons in a row has made his life very difficult. So after seeing the notice of recruiting blacksmiths in Waterdeep City, and the high remuneration on it, he quickly made a decision.

Twice as many gold as Waterdeep Artisans!

"Nothing. Robles waved his hand with a whimsical expression, unlike the destitute Marbury, he was once quite respected in the guild of Waterdeep, and participated in the construction of many famous buildings, even the expansion of the Duoling Cathedral, which he personally participated in designing.

But just two years ago, his life was turned upside down, first by being widowed and then by his daughter's madness. A series of blows caused him to suffer mentally, which led to a big mistake and an accident during the renovation of the Earl's Palace, and since then, his reputation has taken a sharp turn.

And his crazy daughter also caused a big accident, biting half of the face of a passer-by on the street. The high compensation almost bankrupted his family.

Desperate, Robles can only compromise with life.

Behind him, a thin figure huddled up, covered with a blanket, was asleep. With bitterness in his eyes, Robles gently touched his daughter's forehead.

Veronica, get better!

You're Daddy's only hope for life.

Robles' memory goes back to two years ago, the quiet and beautiful Veronica, who was his pride, and her memory and observation are amazing. No matter what it is, as long as Veronica sees it once, she can reproduce it with her own hands.

Robles once witnessed Veronica use a rudimentary chisel to carve a stone into the shape of his wife perfectly, even the wrinkles are exactly the same, and it is extremely accurate.

In the mouths of her colleagues and neighbors, Veronica is a living genius!

How many times, in the warm sun, the quiet Veronica sat in the small courtyard, with her white cat at her feet, holding a brush, sketching a wonderful pattern on the drawing board, her smile was quiet, indulged in it, and her movements were graceful like a goddess in a mural.

However, all this was completely destroyed in the middle of the night. Awakened from a nightmare, Veronica screamed and wailed with her head in her hands, and became so crazy that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Since then, Veronica has gone completely insane, laughing dumbly, drooling, babbling gibberish, and biting like a beast when angry.

When Robles took his daughter to the church to ask for help, the noble priests publicly announced that Veronica was demon-possessed and must be exorcized.

The holy water and Holy Spirit Cross, which were purchased with a lot of money, and the priests who were hired with a lot of money, did not play any role, and Veronica's illness became worse and worse.

In the end, Robles could only tie Veronica with rope in his eyes.

Demon-possessed?

Impossible!

My daughter is a genius and the Holy Spirit pastor is all fart!

Because of their indiscriminate and unfounded sentences, everyone hated Veronica to the core, believing that she would bring misfortune, and some even proposed that Veronica be burned at the stake to prevent future troubles.

The church seemed to be tempted, and Robles had to take his daughter with him and choose to run away.

Damn the Holy Spirit, my daughter is just sick!

You have no right to take her away from me!

"Food and shelter are provided, six gold coins a month. Marbury next to him smiled and touched his beard, his wife and children can not only eat enough, but also accumulate a lot of gold coins a year. After only two years in the Blackstone Collar, he will be able to return to Waterdeep City and open his own blacksmith shop.

"Pray that this poor place will finally come up with gold coins. Robles, who was depressed, poured cold water unceremoniously, he had no good feelings for the frontier from the bottom of his heart.

In his mind, the people who lived on the frontier were barbaric and ignorant, including the aristocracy.

Could it be that there is something big going on here?

It's just a joke.

Robles's only purpose is to take his daughter away from the Church of the Holy Spirit, and as for the rest, as long as he lives in the past, maybe in a few years, Veronica recovers, and he will return to the real city.

A skilled stonemason who does not worry about finding a good job.

Gently touching her daughter's cheek with her hand, only when she is asleep can she find the brilliance of the past on her emaciated face.

Get all right, Veronica.
