Chapter 52: Some Problems Can Be Solved with One Meal
After seeing Elizabeth return, Diana Pear rushed into her arms with rain in the rain.
"Sister Elizabeth, Charles he...... He bullied me!"
Then Charles was beaten by Elizabeth, and then Elizabeth called Grandma St. Angel, who then taught Charles the core values of feudalism for two hours.
When it was getting dark, Charles took Diana and prepared to leave the hotel and start a degassing journey.
Unlike Corn City, which is almost empty as soon as it gets dark, in Avalon, a city where adventurers gather, nightfall represents the arrival of another world.
No matter how many days of adventure they have in the Limhai, adventurers always like to return to the adventurers in Avalon an hour or two before sunset to hand in the quest. After handing in the quest and returning to their accommodation to unload their equipment, the adventurers relax in the city with the rewards of the newly arrived quest.
From the hotels and tea bars in the central area of the city, which only accept the aristocracy, to the taverns and flower houses that do not refuse to come from the outer city, countless adventurers in the city have squandered the money they have exchanged their blood and lives for to release the pressure brought about by wandering on the edge of life and death, and other things.
Just as Charles and the others were about to leave the door of the hotel, Charles was stopped.
"Gui'an, Earl of Maccaden. ”
Charles turned his head to find a blonde girl in a light yellow long-sleeved shirt with a red waistcoat and long skirt decorated with gold thread embroidery greeting him.
Charles looked at each other blankly, who is this.
Although Diana is still angry with Charles, she still agrees on some issues.
She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and curtsied, "Hello, Her Royal Highness Linda Bischberg." ”
After receiving Diana's introduction, Charles's eyes became sharp.
Charles is not a saint, nor is he a narrow-minded fellow, and he will neither forgive Alan Bischberg nor take his anger on a little girl. Unless there is conclusive evidence that this little girl is behind it.
But that doesn't mean Charles won't be careful to block the other side.
Charles saluted, "Hello, Her Royal Highness Princess Linda Bischberg. ”
The manager of the inn, who was not far away and was ready to save the scene at any time in order to avoid a fight between the two sides, was stunned for a moment after hearing Charles's name for Linda, and then continued to stay aside with a smile.
Among the king's children, the prince/princess and the prince/princess are not the same.
The Crown Prince/Princess is the one who has attained the status of the Prince, and all they have to do every day is to wait for the king to die and make sure that they are not killed by their siblings. If you have a bit of pursuit, then find a way to ask the king to die early.
The prince is the second and third ...... Heir to the Nth throne. If you are a little pursuing, you will find a way to kill all the heirs to the throne in front of you, and then ask the king to die early. If you don't pursue it, you eat, drink and have fun all day long, and then dedicate yourself to the royal family in marriage.
Now Charles calls Linda that way, which can be described as uneasy and kind. If the news reaches the kingdom of Bischberg, the gossip that "the Earl of Maccaden and the five princesses are ready to ask the king to die in order to avenge his revenge" will certainly not be absent.
However, Linda, who has been growing up in the care of everyone, obviously did not realize this, so she did not correct Charles's fallacy about herself in the first place.
Linda asked Charles, "I don't know where the Earl of Maccaden is going, can I go with me?"
Charles didn't want to talk to her more, just said, "You feel free." ”
Linda then followed Charles and the others out of the hotel.
"Have you had supper, Earl McCaden?" asked Linda.
"You are free. ”
"Earl Maccaden, may I ask if you are going to risk danger today, and can I also be an adventurer?"
"You are free. ”
"Earl Maccaden, may I call you Charles?"
"You are free. ”
"Charles, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. ”
"You are free. ”
Along the way, no matter how much Linda wanted to stir up the topic, Charles took it with a salty and non-salty "you are free", and then continued to walk with Diana to the outside of the central area.
Linda, who was given a cold reception for the first time, was not only not discouraged, but became more and more energetic.
"Sure enough, it was right to leave the palace, no wonder so many novels describe the story of the princess and the noble lady eloping. Linda thought to herself, "Whether it's Diana or Charles, they are different from those bewitching sluts in the palace." ”
It wasn't long before Charles took Diana to his destination tonight.
A small river about fifty meters wide flows from the forest and flows into the city of Avalon from the southwest, crossing the city, and then joining Hammer Lake to the east.
On a more than 300-meter-long bank road by the river, it will become a snack night market street every night. The citizens of Avalon, adventurers returning from a mission, and nobles who are curious about experiencing civilian life all gather a few friends to eat and drink.
Of course, the level of consumption here is not low. In the eyes of local citizens, this place is equivalent to KFC McDonald's in China in the 90s, and it is generally patronized by the head after encountering something good.
Here's what Charles got from the innkeeper this afternoon, and in order to dissipate Diana's anger, he chose the most common method he had seen on the Internet in his previous life - eating and wearing a snack street!
It's just that the first stall in front of them sells grilled chicken wings.
Although there are no expensive spices from the south, the chicken wings are first macerated in cheap maple syrup for half a day, and then sprinkled with some sesame seeds, wild ginger slices and salt while the fire is roasted, and the aroma of the roasted chicken wings can drift a long distance in the wind.
It's just that Charles was beaten up for making a joke about Diana's wings before, and now he invites her to eat grilled chicken wings, which is not self-defeating.
Fortunately, the second stall sells chicken thighs roasted in the same way, so Charles walked to the stall and paid for it.
Seeing Linda's curious and apprehensive expression, Charles sighed and finally bought three chicken thighs and came back.
Linda held the wooden skewers, felt the greasy and slippery between her hands and the wooden skewers, and carefully observed the chicken on it, and she didn't know how to eat it for a while.
She first put the chicken to her mouth and stuck out her tongue to lick it slightly. The sweetness of maple syrup was slightly salty, and an unsmelled smell filled her nostrils, the first time she had tasted something like this.
Although it is not as good as what she eats in the palace every day, the excitement brought by this novelty makes her a little.
Linda looked at Diana, and then took small bites of her example.
As soon as she bit into it, the crispy skin of the chicken and the chewy head of the not-so-tender chicken immediately filled her mouth. This feeling is very novel to her, who usually eats fish, beef or mutton.
The chickens of this era were quite thin, and there was not much meat on the drumsticks, so they were eaten in a few bites.
After swallowing the last bite of chicken, Linda felt her shirt behind her back get a little wet. It was the first time she had grown up and eaten while walking with something on the crowded road, which was tantamount to fighting a battle for her.
However, after the first experience, the second and third times are much more natural.
It's just that after throwing the wooden skewer in her hand into the trash can in the middle of the road, Linda looked at her slippery and greasy hands a little overwhelmed.
In the end, Diana quietly took out a stack of toilet paper and handed it to her, which resolved her embarrassment.
I have to say that the toilet paper made of autumn maple leaves in this world is almost as good as the toilet paper they used in their previous lives.
God can prevent paper from appearing that is easy to write and print, but they can't stop toilet paper from existing.
Charles: They didn't have to go two steps when they came across a tempura stall.
Some of the Japanese delicacies brought by Japanese adventurers who traveled in the past have taken root in this land and have carved out their own unique path.
Have you ever seen a humanoid mandrake tempura, Charles believes, except for Diana, none of the other time-travelers have ever seen it. Even Linda, a local native, was seeing her for the first time.
The tempura made from the tentacles of the killing vine that Lin Hai specializes in, and even Diana has never seen it this time.
The sheep-headed sphinx, which has a sheep's head and usually lies in the bushes to disguise itself as a sheep, and then kills when a beast or a person who is about to catch a sheep is the most fierce monster in the forest.
However, they are often given long-range headshots by adventurers, and then along with the radishes, they are turned into oden in the night market, and meat on sushi.
There are quite a few demonic beasts that lay eggs in the forest sea, and now their eggs are often found in stalls selling tamagoyaki.
Far from the sea, there are no octopuses in the city of Avalon, but the cooks here have adapted to local conditions and made tentacle balls from the tentacles of a tentacle monster in the lake.
Unlike takoyaki, the outer shell of these tentacle balls is more crispy. After biting down and "clicking", the teeth will meet the soft, slightly elastic tentacle meat marinated in salt and several common herbs.
In addition to these outsiders who have landed and blossomed, there are also a lot of local products.
In addition to grilled meat, there are also a large number of sausage products.
In addition to grilled sausages coated with maple sugar and sprinkled with sesame seeds, there are also sausages cooked with thyme and wild onions.
These sausages are inserted into wooden sticks by the stall owners, and a copper coin can buy three of them.
Looking at the sausage in her hand, Linda, who had just been enclosed, entered a state of helplessness again, and it was the first time she had dealt with this guy without a knife and fork.
However, she quickly reacted, and dealt with the sausage in her hand as if she had eaten chicken legs just now.
In the end, each of the three of them took a bowl of candied cherries to penetrate this otherworldly food street.
