"Hey, if you call someone to inform me first, I can also prepare your favorite pot of mushrooms in advance." Tidlight said with disgust. It's like a mother who blames her child for coming home too suddenly, although her mouth is nagging, her heart is already happy.

The so-called mushroom pot is, to put it bluntly, a soup stewed with more than 100 kinds of mushrooms. Obviously, there is no meat or bones, but it can be boiled out with the flavor of broth. The elves who like to eat vegetarian do not have many dishes that are particularly in line with Lu Xi's taste, and this kind of bacterium soup is one of them, he not only likes to drink it, but also likes to eat it as hot pot shabu-shabu.

However, many of these precious mushrooms only grow deep in the forest, and they need to be freshly harvested and put into soup within an hour.

Lu Xi still remembers that Sister Tido, who is the supreme political and religious leader of Norda, often runs to the mountains before dawn in order to cook dinner for Lu Xi, and then runs back to meet the first rays of sunshine in the morning. While they were having breakfast, she was sweating profusely and was busy pickling ingredients and making broth.

Of course, she could leave this kind of thing to the people underneath. However, Sister Tiduo felt that Lu Xi just liked her craftsmanship, so she had to do it herself every time...... But to be honest, by the age of five, Lu Xi could move the pot and shake the spoon, and his skills had already surpassed the other party.

However, the palate never comes first when the family brings them to their own hands, does they?

"I can wait until tomorrow." Lu Xi smiled: "Well, when Nicole and the others arrive, we will eat together." ”

"Hey, then you can send someone over to inform you first, and come with Nicole." Tidlight said almost exactly the same thing as Cresel before her: "It's so ungraceful for a boy to leave a girl behind." ”

"Well, that's true. So I will definitely apologize to them seriously in the future. Lu Xi nodded and sat down on another chair on the terrace.

For a long time, Tidlet's dormitory in Cangbi City was almost equivalent to Lu Xi's house, and the so-called "returning to the palace is like going back to his own home" is really just a paper meaning for Lu Xi, even if he is a little older, it is the same if he gets a cottage of his own nearby. Since it's home, of course, there are all kinds of life that belong to the family. For example, this small recliner placed on the terrace is Lu Xi's own seat, and the position has not even changed. I remember that in the past, Lu Xi liked to lie on it, holding a book to read—mainly historical legends, travelogues of various countries, and geographical miscellaneous talks, which he relied on to quickly understand the world—and the small white jade round table on the chaise longue never lacked a dazzling array of fruit plates and cold honey water.

Although he was picked up by Nicole as a kitten and puppy, Lu Xi's sixteen years in Norda completely lived the life of a young master who stretched out his hands with food and clothes, which was even more erosive than before Lanxing's hometown. If it weren't for the fact that he was already an adult before the crossing, I'm afraid he would have already become a gentleman.

Tidlight leaned back on the chaise longue and nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, I have taught Xiao Lu Xi to be a good boy who is quite responsible, kind and humble. Finally, I didn't live up to the original Nicole when you picked it up. The only regret is that such Lu Xi has become cynical. How many girls have you messed with so far? I can't remember any of them. ”

"Well, I'll let them all come next time. Pour tea for Sister Tido one by one. ”

"I'm not your mother." She smiled and shook her head: "And they're still quite young." ”

"Well, now it's my sister who believes it." Lu Xi smiled and said, "After so many years, I have also become old." ”

"It's getting more and more mature, calm, calm, majestic and proud, and now it's really, well, more and more gorgeous! A smile and a smile are all captivating to the country. I also watched you go from being a little cute like a puppy to a cute jade doll, and then growing up little by little, to where you are today. Now, your glamorous ...... From the mountains of Atlas to the city-states of Sosnes, everyone knows it. ”

"Actually, what you want to say is a glamorous name." Lu Xi said angrily: "Oh, if it was a few years ago, when I hadn't left Norda, every time you made a joke about me like this, I would have been furious." However, by now, this level of malice has been so much that I am willing to eat it, or I have long been used to it and even started to enjoy it, and I will enjoy it in a different posture. That's probably growth. ”

"No, no, no, it's just broken, right? And this kind of little Lu Xike is really getting less and less fun. ”

"Well, I also feel like I'm getting less and less fun. It's even getting more and more hateful. When I left Norda, I simply thought that since I was in such a position, it was really tyrannical to stay in the warm Noorda's house for the rest of my life. Anyway, you should rub the supernatural power of the fireball. Lu Xi smiled and said, "But now, it has inexplicably come to this point." I got a lot, but unconsciously, it seems that I have artificially added a lot of responsibility to myself. ”

"Because Xiao Luxi is a good boy with a strong sense of responsibility." Sister Tido said.

The two of them just lay side by side on the recliners, looking at the green hills, dense forests and blue sky in the distance of the terrace in a daze. They didn't speak for a long time, completely emptying all their thoughts. This has always been a leisure "activity" that everyone loves, doing nothing and just being in a daze for half a day. Sometimes it's with Nicole, sometimes it's with the sisters, but it's rarely with Sister Diduo. After all, she is the supreme political and religious leader of the Wood Elves, and she is also the cardinal of the Grand Sanctuary, even if she is lazy and unreliable, she still has a lot of official duties.

However, compared to Nicole, who will definitely follow after lying down for less than a minute, Lu Xi does prefer to lie side by side with Sister Tido like this. Each other is awake, each other is in a daze, and each can feel that the other is nearby, and with their eyes closed, they can smell the fragrance on her body.

…… It's been a long time. This kind of life where you don't have to think about anything, don't care about anything, and just sleep in the past. Oh, if I really hadn't left Noorda with Mr. Orucello, what would I be like now?

"Lu Xi." Tidlight said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Do you regret it?"

"It's hard to say." Lu Xi laughed. He really found it difficult to say, "What about you? Sister Tido. ”

"I, when I left Norda more than a thousand years ago, according to the algorithm of the wood elves, I was actually a little smaller than you back then."

"yes, I know. That's why I said that Sister Tido looks like my sister now. "Actually, Tidlit, who has the blood of the mortal elf royal bloodline, has never been a sister in terms of appearance. The reason why it is regarded as the best royal sister is, after all, it is a mysterious thing such as the temperament and aura generated by factors such as experience, experience, identity and strength.

"Heh, this kind of talk is only useful for a little girl who pleases human beings, and it's useless for an old woman like me who has lived for an unknown number of years and doesn't want to count." Tiddlight laughed. At this time alone, she still seems to be innocent and romantic like a girl. She laughed happily for a while, and then slowly lowered her voice, and said slowly: "We have almost infinite time, more than most of our kind, so we can waste our lives unscrupulously. At least at the time, I was so adamantly convinced. ”

"Well, and that's how you left Norda? Embarked on a journey? This seems to be the beginning of a typical hero. ”

"To be exact, the typical hero begins with a model based on our story. However, at that time, I was even more reasonable to use escape. It's not just Norda, it's a natural place. Elune's clerics, as well as the future Grand Druids, received their most central education there. ”

“…… Well, it is also known as the place of the secret realm of ten thousand greens. The whole of Norda, the place I haven't been to is there. ”

"It's not that I don't want to take you. Rather, it is a part of the extension of Elune's kingdom and a meeting point with the main physical world, the Forest of Norda. With Elune's divine will as her reliance, she would not be able to enter it unless she was in the kingdom of God or a druid who wielded the power of nature. ”

Lu Xi thought to himself, I have even been to the Pure Land of Bliss.

"Of course, you won't like it even if you go. A lake, a forest, and the sun, moon and stars. If you stay there for a hundred years, you'll get bored. So, I left there on my own, but thinking that everyone would be furious, I simply didn't even return to Nolda. I think the life of an elf is very long, and it's too boring to stay the same all the time. So, I left Norda. I didn't have an Orucello to show me the way, and I didn't have a Neosfia at that time. I was really confused about where I was going, so I could only take one step at a time. Of course, I've heard people say that Auckland is the cradle of modern human civilization, and one of the most powerful and prosperous countries in the world has gone northwest. ”

"But at that time, it was the so-called Warring States period, right?" Lu Xidao.

"Well, I don't know how many people are kings, and the careerists who claim to be able to inherit the crown of Auckland can't be counted on two hands. Carefully trembling and guarding the territory of the family business, waiting for the independent lord to stand; specializes in digging out hollow outs, doing all the bad things, just hoping to get a share of the family business to pass on to future generations; Of course, there are also 'heroes' who come into being, but there is actually only a thin line between them and careerists. ”

“…… Careerist, although I know who you are talking about, I always feel that you seem to have buried me by the way. ”

"Hmm. I'm just burying you! Be reasonable, you're really like that guy in some ways. They all look like they are very aggressive, they are all natural, and they look unmotivated, but they know better than anyone what they want and what they should do. ”

"Oh, really? Didn't you strangle me to death a long time ago? ”

"yes, that's how it should be." Tiddelit laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that you have so many places that are more like him, do you think I wouldn't?" ”

"Huh, really? I always thought he would be the perfect knight with the seven virtues and a living sage. Just standing there, he could drag Wei Guangzheng a hundred meters away, and the obscene guy couldn't even stand in front of him. How is it like a little bourgeois like me, who obviously worships the red flag but turns himself into a black-hearted big capitalist? ”

"Although I don't understand too much what little Lu Xi is talking nonsense about, but that person is not at all what is described in a large number of so-called heroic knights in later generations. He's just a natural idiot. ”

More than 1,000 years ago, Auckland, during the Warring States period, was not the stable and prosperous world hegemon it is now - although it had just experienced a large-scale succession war, it was not a long time after all, and it only took a few years to recover. At that time, the Dragher family of the Yanlong Dynasty was almost extinct, and the legal inheritance sequence based on the bloodline patriarchal law was over, and there were princes from all sides who had ambitions.

In troubled times, the strong soldier is the king, but if he doesn't move the real chapter, who will admit that the opponent is the one who is "strong and strong"? As a result, the masters of the regions of Theloxia and Seredir are replaced every five years on average.

This is already the case in the imperial capital. And beyond the wilderness, rebels, bandits, civilians who have lost their land and can only fall into the grass, and cultists who have taken advantage of the situation, have turned the entire empire into chaos.

In the middle of the lonely wilderness, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years of age, with a mediocre appearance and a mediocre physique, dressed in a mediocre knight's plate chain mail, armed with an unremarkable knight's broadsword and an oak shield, was engaged in a struggle with six bandit-like men. His swordsmanship is also mediocre, and he has no merit except that his basic skills are very solid. However, he was quite smart when he fought, and knew how to fight and walk, trying his best not to let himself be besieged. What's more, the other party is also a rabble of bandits, and it is difficult for the blade in his hand to cause great damage to the young "knight" with the armor in his helmet.

After a struggle, when two of the bandits were killed and one of the bandits had an arm removed, the rest finally fled.

The knight, who was all plain, took a long breath, looked at the delicate figure in the distance, wearing a one-shirt hood, covering his head and face, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

…… Tidlet, who was wearing a hood, let out a long sigh, thinking that when those fools were about to rob, this girl was ready to kill all of them, leaving one to lead the way to inquire about the news. As a result, what are you going to do when you suddenly rush out? As a result, most of the enemies ran away. Just ran away.

"The world is really not peaceful now. How can you be a small child on your own? ”

…… Who do you call a child? Tiddellt smiled an embarrassed but polite smile, but she couldn't see it under the hood.

"Anyway, I'm going to Glamorgan next, and I can drop you off in a town where there are people."

……

"Why, why can you eat nineteen gold coins, seven silver horns, and four copper plates in one meal? I've been running for a year, and that's how much money I've saved. ”

……

"Yes, I want to save enough money to redeem the manor from the Earl. Yes, I'm sure I'll be a good lord. In this way, Aunt Belka's family, Uncle Ronald's family, yes, and Little Leth's family, will be much easier in the future. ”

……

"Well, this little red horse was given to me by saving the life of the local lord during my last mission. It is said that it has the bloodline of the Holy Light Spirit Steed, although it has not yet grown up, but it is also a good horse that travels thousands of miles every day. If you're going to find your family, ride him. And oh, you have this money. Well, this leather jacket should also be warm. ”

……

"Hah, we actually met again. Introduction, this is my friend Knous who I just met, you just call him Xiao Ke, right? What, Xiao G, what do you say? Alas, you say it's a girl? Genie? Eh, eh? ”

……

"You're a girl! I'm sorry about this...... That's why you've been covering your ears with Transfiguration? What, you said you didn't cast a spell on your face? This, wahahahahaha ”

……

"Everyone in the world has different kinds of happiness, but in this era, whether it is a king, a nobleman or a common people, there are similar sufferings. Want to come with me? Small grams! Tido! ”

……

"Actually, Lu Xi, I'm ...... I regret it. Sister Tido muttered.
