Chapter 104: Overnight
A sturdy helmet is a must-have in an adventurer's outfit, second only to a pair of durable and comfortable boots.
When he met Halkala, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Charles was first hugged by her for a while, and then rubbed his head by him.
Immediately afterward, the elves of Horatio and George, as well as the sisters Galatia and Penelope, who had heard the news, also came over and rubbed Charles's head.
Charles, who had been rubbing off a lot of his hair for a while, only then did he know that these guys were rubbing themselves purely to brag about rubbing the crown prince's head in the future.
Laughing and crying, Charles did not expect to end up with Edward VIII of England, the king of England who was often kicked in the ass by his classmates when he was in school, and the reason he was kicked was because his classmates wanted to brag to others in the future that they had kicked the king's ass. Although Charles's hope of succeeding to the throne is extremely slim, everyone still rubbed it first.
So Charles put on a helmet with spikes on his head, which made the rest of the caravan who were going to rub his head laugh until their stomachs hurt.
The members of the caravan stayed in their own houses to negotiate with each other, and because there were many caravans coming and going here, the villagers had a unified price standard, and there was a fixed price for accommodation and meals, which was a lot of extra money for the villagers.
Since Donio, who knew Charles very well this time, was still in the state of going home to visit relatives on vacation, Halkala pulled him and Artoria to partner up, and she had already found a house to stay in.
When Charles and the others followed Halkala to the house where they had stayed for the next two days, he and Artoria couldn't help but laugh a little, this was an acquaintance.
On the way, Halkala said to Charles: "Gnavelle and Lancelot, the brother and sister, are very pitiful, they have no mother since they were children, and because the house is so old, no one usually wants to live in their house, so after their father died two years ago, their lives are very difficult. Although their house is a little old, it is still very clean. ”
Then Halkala patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "Charles, don't bully Gneve because she is beautiful." ”
Charles was confused, what's going on, I don't have a history of bullying innocent girls, right?
When they arrived at the house, they came out of the house with an empty wet bucket.
"Both of them have come to stay at your house, too. Halkala said to Gnavier.
As a result, Gnavelle was so frightened that the bucket in her hand fell to the ground, and her bones rolled to the side.
She stood there helpless for a moment before bowing to Charles, "Your Excellency......"
Halfway through that, she didn't know what to say next.
Ever since Alex had been brain-pumping to provoke Charles, and then taught a lesson by Tonyo, the "Masked Man" had become the object of fear among the children in the village.
"Charles!" there was a hint of anger in Halcara's voice, her eyes widened on her snow-white round face, and her hands were crossed in front of her chest, as if she was ready to teach a lesson, "You bullied other people's little girls?"
As the teacher who taught Charles, she was qualified to educate Charles.
"I didn't, it's not me, it's Donio!" Charles, who immediately told Halcara about that day.
Charles asked Lancelot not to tell him about his mentoring, and it seems that Lancelot didn't tell his sister about it.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and several of them walked into the house. The house was indeed clean, there was no dust on the floor and walls, and no cobwebs on the roof. The floor was damp, and there was a slightly pungent smell in the air, the potion that Halkara had given to Gnevelle to repel the insects, and she had diluted it and sprinkled it on the ground.
The layout of the house is simple, with a fire pit in the middle, and an iron hook hanging from a rope hanging from the beam, and a pot hanging from the iron hook. Around the fire pit was a circle of wooden planks made of stones, and the planks were covered with straw to make up the bed. There are still a few boxes in the house, which seem to be the belongings of the brother and sister.
Halkala had already brought in his sleeping bag and placed it on the plank by the fire.
Thanks to the blessings of the past generations, the toilet is located outside the house, and you can go out and turn to the back of the house.
The sound of chickens and pigs being slaughtered was heard not far from the house, and it seemed that Lancelot's job would be much easier in two days.
As soon as they recognized the door, Charles and Artoria were called away by Elizabeth.
In the glade where she used to practice swords, Elizabeth looked at Artoria with a strange expression, and after a while, she said, "Auntie, why did you come with Charles?"
Then Charles saw that the dull hair on Artoria's head straightened instantly.
It is not a pleasant thing to watch two heroic beauties fight at close range, especially when these two are in the first echelon of combat effectiveness.
Although the Ex curry stick was lent to Charles, Artoria still had a sword in the stone in her hand, so it didn't take much effort for her to pinn Elizabeth to the ground in close combat.
It was only after the sound stopped that Charles emerged from behind a tree in the distance.
He helped Elizabeth pat off the grass clippings and dirt from her body as she reported on his journey westward.
"You!" Elizabeth poked Charles's head helplessly, "you really can make trouble wherever you go." ”
Then she went on to say to Charles, "For the rest of the day, you will continue to learn Elven with Halkala during the day, magic with me in the afternoon, and Ah ...... at night Sister Ah practiced swordsmanship. ”
Charles nodded in agreement, for a long time to come, he had no free time, more tired than when he was preparing for the college entrance examination.
Elizabeth then asks Artoria about the cultists, because Tonyo says that it has something to do with the demons. Artoria still said that she knew nothing about it, and had not heard a word of it for three hundred years.
Then there was nothing to do, Elizabeth had to discuss some business with Lady Verry tonight, Lady Verry's paintings were priceless commodities, and Elizabeth had already set her sights on the unfinished series of oil paintings of the Knight King himself modeled on him.
When Charles and Artoria returned to Lancelot's house, Lancelot had already returned, and he was standing awkwardly by the fire, with a basket of livers, hearts, tongues, intestines, and ears in front of him.
When Lancelot saw Charles come in, he opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything.
Today, when the house arrives, Gniveville takes care of the cleaning, and Lancelot goes to prepare the food.
It's just that the pigs he usually puts are all from other villagers, and the villagers hire him to herd pigs with grain. With so many caravans coming today, the villagers naturally want to kill pigs and sell meat.
It's just that Lancelot couldn't grab the pork, and could only get back some offal and ears that others didn't want.
The meat quality of these pigs, which also has many wild boar characteristics, is not good, and their internal organs have a lot of fishy smell.
Halcara, who was examining the pork liver, just smiled, comforted Lancelot and told him not to worry, told him to put the things he had brought back in a pot and boiled them in cold water first, and then walked out of the house with Gnavele.
As a pharmacist, Halkala is familiar with the properties of many plants and animals, so she knows how to make braised meat from common plants.
Thanks to the traversers, although some of the stories they brought with them have been lost for thousands of years, the names of the characters have survived.
So Charles can be embarrassed to see the scene of Artoria sitting with Lancelot and Gnavelle drinking oatmeal with braised pork liver.
