Chapter 187: Dinner for Three
It is obvious that although the world of the Great Sword allows free love, it is still very conservative about same-sex relationships, and neither the precepts of the church nor the universal values of the market allow Ophelia to have such "forbidden" feelings for Flora.
However, this kind of thing seems to be rare in the eyes of Li Fang and Annabelle, and it is not unavoidable.
After all, Annabelle chose to stay by Li Fang's side after realizing that she was awakened, but she was more indifferent to the world than Ophelia liking Flora, so she was only slightly surprised, and then accepted it...... And Li Fang even has some joy to see.
Dinner was almost exclusively handled by Ophelia, who had developed a good cooking skills during her time at Rapolle. The big swords are led by Miria, Li Fang is not worried, just wait for Heroda and Monica, who are collecting intelligence in the north, to come back and see if there is any discrepancy with their memory, and then he and Annabelle will decide to go in the direction of the mainland first.
Anyway, no matter how things change, there are two things you must follow when deciding which side to go to first. The first is to avoid contact with Isli and Prissia by all means, and then to eat the Awakened under Isli as much as possible.
After all, as long as those male awakened ones are separated from Isli, they are living gold coins that can walk!
Because of the restriction that each person can only wear a maximum of six pieces of equipment, Li Fang knows very well that it is impossible for him to strengthen someone infinitely, that is to say, Anna's strength is limited, at most she can rely on the passive of the jungler knife to make some progress, so if you want to enhance your own strength more, then you can only choose to assist more people!
Lahuana, Miria, Claire or other powerful single-digit swords can be strengthened by six divine costumes to the extent that they are enough to fight the Abyssal One, putting aside Prisia's almost insoluble existence, objectively speaking, as long as Li Fang piles up a sufficient amount of equipment, there is a great chance to defeat the Abyssal One.
And to assist so many people, it takes a lot of gold coins, so Li Fang naturally aimed at the male awakened people under Isli, as for the organization, after the movement of Isli's side is clear, he can push it at any time......
From Isli's standpoint, Li Fang estimated that he was unlikely to change his plans, although it didn't make much difference for him to go to the west or the south, but now that Naki was still by their side, their movements should not change much.
……
The dinner on the table was sumptuous, the steaming heat in the soup pot was tinged with the enticing aroma, and Ophelia, who had been living alone for some time, sat with Li Fang and Annabelle, and the expression of joy on her face had not disappeared since she walked out of the kitchen.
Because of the change in taste after awakening, Li Fang did not let her continue to eat human food, so there were two tempting looking pastries on the plate in front of her. Li Fang remembered that Anna had said that only this kind of thing could be considered edible, and she went to buy it, although Annabelle herself said that she didn't need to do it.
The creamy cream spreads over the fluffy and browned cake, and the shiny silver knife and fork cut it open and sends it into a place where the red and white are all tempting.
Li Fang ate in his mouth, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to Anna's side.
"It's okay, you can still taste the sweetness." Annabelle guessed the meaning of Li Fang's sight, smiled and ate another piece to reassure him.
"What are you going to do with these two invitations?" Ophelia pointed to the two gilded paper cards on the table, one from Conrad and the other from Cyril, "You took it when it was delivered in the afternoon, and this is not the first time they have sent it, I have received several of these things since you left last time." ”
"I'll go, I haven't really seen what aristocratic life was like in Rapolle." Li Fang said.
"That's right, tomorrow I'm going to take the portrait of the daughter of the Cyril family and take the rest of the honorarium, let's go together."
"Well, but Anna and I are going to Miria tomorrow morning, and then we'll go back when we get back."
"So, by the way, help me take a look at Xiaofu?" Ophelia shook her head and sighed, but there was still a smile hidden in the corner of her eyes, "I hope I didn't bother her too much." ”
Annabelle smiled and said, "If you're worried, let's go together, and it should be okay to guide most of them with your vision and awareness." ”
"I'm not missing," Ophelia refused, dryly, "and as Ferf said, it's too unwise to get involved in it if you've finally broken free from being a warrior." ”
"Then you're just not going to approach her anymore?" Annabelle glanced at Li Fang, who was silent, and reminded, "After seeing you today, I don't think she will come over again." ”
"Since she still has a big sword in her hand, she still has a reason to fight, and it's okay if she doesn't come," Ophelia said very calmly, "I will live a good life in Rapolle, and if I can, I will save more money, and when Xiaofu no longer needs to be a warrior in the future, I will find a way to keep her by my side, or stay by her side." ”
"It's good, if you like it, you can stick to it, but it's a pity that the intentions of these suitors are completely useless." Li Fang said as he picked up a few letters from his feet and placed them on the table, each letter with a rose sticking to it: "I picked it up outside the door just now, has Rapoll become popular?" ”
"Oh? It's interesting. Annabelle took one and looked at the letter, "It seems to be a letter of courtship from a noble young man, well, this person has not a good reputation." ”
"Don't worry about it, they only have my face in their eyes, and what they say is numb to death." Ophelia got up and took all the envelopes and put them back outside the door as they were: "Just deal with it like this, someone will sweep it away." ”
Li Fang looked at Annabelle, who was also helpless but smiling, shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat. I remember that there were people who came to pursue Anna, but at that time there were no such love letters, and it was easy to refuse.
After dinner, Ophelia washed up, and then went back to her room and said that she was going to work for a while. Annabelle seemed to be very fond of Ophelia's excellent painting skills, just as she had learned flower arrangement from Aihua, and she also washed up and went upstairs to find Ophelia.
Li Fang cleaned up in the kitchen alone, went to take a shower after the end, and then stood in front of the door of his room, hesitating one thing.
……
In the dark room, the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, and the sound of soft footsteps came from far and near, and the door was opened.
Annabelle used her demonic power to evaporate the water from her body, and the warm and dry feeling made her very comfortable, a layer of light pajamas were tied around her body, and she already missed the soft quilt in her room before she walked to the door.
After all, I haven't had a good rest for a long time, but fortunately, Ophelia has been cleaning and tidying up regularly, and the room can be used directly.
As soon as she stepped into the room, without candlelight, Annabelle could see someone sleeping in her bed.
"You, go back to your room." She sat on the edge of the bed and patted Li Fang, who had his back to her, and could feel that he hadn't slept by listening to her breathing.
