The shopkeeper's smile froze, and he said embarrassedly: "This guest, this ...... I'm afraid not. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Murong Feng glanced at him and said coldly, "Why?" If you don't want a reward, isn't your chef unsightly? ”

"No, no, no!" The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Actually, the chef in the small shop is not unsightly, but his temper is not very good, I am afraid that he will come and bump into you without knowing the rules, which will be too bad." ”

Murong Feng laughed and said, "You are really worried about the shopkeeper, I came to the chef to praise his skills, not to quarrel with him." How could he confront me? ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, and he really couldn't find a better reason, so he could only respond hard, turned around and walked out of the private room to invite the chef out.

As a result, Murong Feng waited for a long time, and the wine and food on the table were almost exhausted, and the shopkeeper was sweating hot before inviting the chef. If this were another guest, he would definitely not have a good face, but Murong Feng's actions were originally to lure Bilbo Baggins out, so the expression on his face was very calm.

"The guests are really sorry, the small shop suddenly came with another batch of customers just now, so the chef is busy until now." As soon as the shopkeeper entered the door, he hurriedly apologized.

Murong Feng waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then turned his head to look at Bilbo Baggins, whose face was stinky.

Compared with the last time they met, Bilbo Baggins is obviously much older, more haggard, and his brows are full of sorrow, and he has lost his previous peace and indifference.

Murong Feng threw the gold coins on the table to the shopkeeper and motioned him to retreat, and the shopkeeper was naturally obedient to the reward, and the smiling Bilbo Baggins gave him some advice, and then retreated to the outside of the room.

"Are you looking for me for this guest?" Bilbo Baggins asked lazily.

Murong Feng didn't talk nonsense, and lifted his hat to reveal his true face.

Bilbo Baggins's eyes widened instantly, and his originally gloomy face regained his vigor in an instant, and his expression was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Murong Feng made a booing motion, pointed to the door again, and then picked up the shelf and coughed: "Well, I was looking for you." These small dishes of yours are even to my liking. I came to you to ask how you do it? ”

Bilbo Baggins grinned, and replied loudly with Murong Feng: "Then you can ask the right person, guest." "And then a whole bunch of cooking techniques.

The shopkeeper who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping saw that there was no noise in the house, and he was also relieved, and then happily went back to count the money with the bounty.

Murong Feng noticed that the shopkeeper had left, so he stopped acting and asked directly, "Master Baggins, how did you end up here?" What about the rest of the village? ”

Bilbo Baggins grimaced, "Well, it's a long story. ”

"It's okay, you speak slowly." Murong Feng motioned for him to sit down and said while drinking.

Later, during the conversation, Murong Feng also learned the ins and outs of the matter, which was basically similar to the plot inquired from the guard at the city gate. Of course, there are also discrepancies, starting with the tree monsters that attacked the village of Bag Bottom Cave. Most of the villagers were killed or wounded in the attack that night, and all of them died without bones. Because the corpse will be absorbed and devoured by those tree monsters with their roots on the spot, there really won't be even a bit of scum left.

The survivors were scattered after fleeing the village, and Bilbo Baggins traveled several times to settle in Barrel Town. It's just that as soon as he entered the city gate with his front foot, the tree monsters on his back foot killed the city. So in the past few days, he has hardly slept well.

However, this was not the most troubling part for him, because in the process of fleeing, he met a distant relative from a neighboring village, and it was only after the two sides informed each other of their names that they were actually related.

"Drogo Baggins is a young and promising lad." Bilbo Baggins banged on his pipe and sighed: "He just got married last year, and this year his wife gave birth to a big fat boy for him." ”

Murong Feng saw that the topic was a little off, and his brain added: "Did he get separated from his wife and children during the escape?" ”

Bilbo Baggins nodded, "Yes, you guessed right. However, when we both arrived in Barreltown, he was reunited with his lost wife and children. ”

Murong Feng was surprised and said, "This is a good thing, why do you look worried?" ”

Bilbo Baggins sighed, "Alas, his one-year-old boy was attacked by the Dryad while fleeing, and although he was lucky enough to save his life under the desperate protection of his mother, he was seriously injured. Brother Deroger and his children searched for all the doctors in the town, but none of them would come to their rescue. Because the big guys said that the child was cursed by the dryad, and that non-medical skills could cure him. The doctors were helpless, but they showed him a clear way to seek the help of the old priest in town, and perhaps he could find a way to lift the curse. ”

Murong Feng sighed, and then asked, "Look at your appearance, I'm afraid that priest is also powerless, right?" ”

Bilbo Baggins nodded and sighed, "Although the old priest can't get rid of the curse on the child, he can use the holy light to temporarily suppress the outbreak of the curse, but this is only a palliative solution. ”

Murong Feng chuckled: "It turns out that you just saw me with a surprised look, not because your old friend wanted to see me, but because you wanted to ask me to save that child's life?" ”

Bilbo Baggins smiled awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "If there is anyone else in this world who can save that child's life, I'm afraid it is only His Majesty the Pope." ”

Murong Feng smiled and said, "If you still think of me as your friend, call me Artoria." Okay, don't talk nonsense, it's important to save people, you take me quickly. ”

Bilbo Baggins hesitated for a while, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't go away now, because in the past few days, in order to seek medical treatment for that child, Brother Deroger and his wife owe a debt that they simply cannot repay." And the creditor is not a good person, and he wants Brother Drog's wife to sell herself to pay off the debt. In order to help them pay off their debts, I found this restaurant that was willing to pay me three years of salary in advance, and became the chef. So I don't plan to leave here for three years, and my old village has been destroyed anyway. ”

When Bilbo Baggins saw that Murong Feng was about to pay for it, he hurriedly stopped him: "If you are also a friend of me, don't do this." The shopkeeper here is a little greedy for money, but he is a good man. I ran down the street, and he was the only one who was willing to pay me three years in advance. So I won't have to worry about food and housing in the next three years, hehe. ”

Murong Feng withdrew his hand and frowned, "Then can't you ask for leave and leave for a while?" ”

Bilbo Baggins shrugged and said, "Those dryads just retreated yesterday, and the town finally lifted martial law, and it was the busiest time for the restaurant, so I really couldn't get out of it. I'm sitting here chatting with you now, or because the shopkeeper thinks you're a big donor. Well, you are indeed a super big financier. If you let the shopkeeper know your identity, it is estimated that he will not even dare to accept a gold coin from you. Hahaha. ”

Bilbo Baggins smiled and took out a piece of wood carving from his bosom and handed it to Murong Feng, saying, "I can't leave it, so I can only trouble you to go there yourself." Take this wood carving to the church in town, where Drogo, his wife, and children are temporarily staying, and they will believe you when they see it. ”

"Okay." Murong Feng took the wood carving and stuffed it into his bag, got up and said, "I'll talk to you when I come back, in fact, I originally wanted to introduce you to a bigger boss." Follow that person to ensure that you will eat and drink for ten lifetimes. ”

Bilbo Baggins was surprised: "Who? ”

Murong Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Black Dragon Princess Onexia, she has always wanted to find an imperial chef with excellent cooking skills. ”

Bilbo Baggins' face at this time was wonderful.

***

After inquiring along the way, Murong Feng soon found a slightly old Holy Light Church located in the east of the town.

The mottled wooden doors are full of traces of age, and it is clear that the incense of this church does not seem to be so vigorous.

Murong Feng stood outside the door and knocked on the door for a long time before he heard an old greeting from inside: "Come on, come on, don't knock so loudly, if you knock on my door, you will have to pay for it." ”

Murong Feng pursed her lips, and said in her heart that all the churches in the world belong to her in name, if it is really broken, who will pay whom?

As he spoke, the old wooden door of the church slowly opened with a tooth-aching creak, and then the old priest with white hair appeared in front of Murong Feng. And Murong Feng also saw the title of this old pastor.

【Decard Kane】

――――――――――――――――――――

Murong Feng slowly took a deep breath, there was not the slightest surprise on his face, and said with a calm smile: "You must be Pastor Kane, right?" I'm a friend of Bilbo Baggins. ”

"Baggins' friend?" The old priest looked skeptical, but when he saw Murong Feng take out the wood carving, he immediately changed to a warm smile and beckoned, "Come in, come in." I thought it was those damn bastards harassing the poor couple again. ”

Murong Feng raised his eyebrows and walked into the church door quietly.

There was only one oil lamp hanging in the dim hall, which made the surroundings flicker and dark, coupled with the smell of decay in the air, Murong Feng felt that if he made a ghost movie here, he didn't need to change the layout at all.

Murong Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why are you closing the doors and windows in this daytime to make this place look like a haunted house?" ”

The old priest tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "It's not that those ruffians are making trouble. ”

Murong Feng immediately thought of the plot that Bilbo Baggins had told her, and asked, "Is that the creditor?" Isn't that the arrears already paid off? ”

"Did Baggins tell you all?" The old priest sighed: "Alas, if the other party is so easy to send away, he will not be the tyrant of this town. Forget it, let's not talk about that. Baggins introduced you, you must be a powerful exorcist, right? ”

"Exorcist?" Murong Feng shook his head, and then chuckled: "I'm not an exorcist, in fact, I'm a peer with you." ”

"Peers?" The old priest was surprised, and then saw Murong Feng lift his hat to reveal his true face, and politely introduced himself: "In Lower Artoria." ”

The old priest trembled, and the expression on his face was just right full of shock.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The old priest knotted his tongue and wanted to kneel down and salute Murong Feng.

Murong Fu stretched out his hand and said with a chuckle: "Everyone is born equal in front of the Holy Light, and Your Excellency does not need to be polite. ”

The old priest also straightened up, but still looked at Murong Feng with a nervous expression. After all, with his current status, it is like a small civil servant who suddenly encounters a big chief who comes to check the post in person. Fortunately, the old man has extraordinary knowledge, and if he were a real ordinary old priest, he might be scared and faint.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" The old priest asked as soon as he calmed down the shock in his heart.

"I was going to go to Moria, Emlyn, so I stopped by to meet an old friend, Bilbo Baggins." Murong Feng sighed: "Earlier, when I was not a pope, I passed by his village and competed with him in cooking, but I was convinced. When he was leaving, he said that he would come to visit him again when he was free, and eat him another big meal by the way, but he didn't expect that it would be a matter of time to say goodbye today. ”

The old priest was also embarrassed, and Murong Feng said, "Where is that child?" Take me over and have a look. By the way, please keep my identity a secret, so as not to scare my parents. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with me." The old priest nodded, and respectfully led Murong Feng into the backyard of the church to a guest room.

On the way, the old priest had already briefly introduced the child's injury, which was very bad, and the old priest could only try his best to delay the outbreak of the curse, but he couldn't last long.

In addition, the father of the child was also injured, but only with some flesh wounds. Although the old priest didn't say it explicitly, Murong Feng had already guessed who did it.

Knocking on the door, it was opened by a very handsome woman, and it was no wonder that those bastards were pestering.

At this time, the old priest introduced Murong Feng to the woman named Primula Liquor Deer Baggins, a high-level exorcist hired by Bilbo Baggins at great expense.

Although Primula was suspicious of Murong Feng's identity, after all, she looked more like a noble lady on the surface, but since the other party was holding Bilbo's token, the woman also believed the old priest's words and invited Murong Feng into a room full of bitter medicine.

And as soon as Murong Feng stepped into the door, he immediately noticed a faint wisp of evil aura!
