Xiu didn't say anything more, just looked at her quietly.

Victoria lowered her head and said nothing. The two of them were silent for a long, long time, and neither of them said a word.

In the distance, the excitement in the cafeteria is still going on happily. The place was not close to the cafeteria, but the smell of food was faintly heard, and Victoria couldn't help but wonder what kind of hearty and delicious food could taste like this.

Mutter......

Victoria's stomach suddenly made a discordant sound, and the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became weird.

"Are you hungry?" Fix to silence.

Victoria nodded.

"Do you want to eat?" Xiu continued to ask.

"I—" Victoria wanted to say something, but Xiu interrupted her.

"Tell me if I want to eat."

Victoria nodded.

Xiu smiled.

"If you're hungry, just say it. Tell me earlier. Wait for me a moment. Without waiting for Victoria's answer, he walked out the door on his own.

Victoria stared blankly at the empty door, a little overwhelmed.

She just stood there in a daze, staring at the closed door in a daze.

After a while, the door was opened again, and Xiu made a dull noise in the doorway with a pestle.

"This pot—" Victoria was a little puzzled.

Xiu turned the pot around, and Victoria saw a large piece of white ice frozen in the pot.

This piece of ice has not fallen off after being fiddled with it like this, and it looks very solid.

"Eat this." Shuu set aside the kettle on the stove and set the pot on the stove.

The fire in the stove was okay to boil water, but the pot was not enough, so Xiu took a large bundle of black wood from the outside and put it under the pot.

"But Xiu, I..."

"The dinner in the cafeteria was very generous. There is a thick beef broth, a turkey with plums and apples scattered in the belly, and white bread smeared with honey. Xiu smiled, "But you're not going to eat those, are you?" So it doesn't matter, these are technically leftovers. 'A great gift'. Xiu said jokingly.

He continued to tinker with the stove.

The only thing that can quickly ignite the black wood is another one that is ignited, and after a short while, the flame of the black wood erupts. The current flames are already raging fires.

There were a few sounds of something breaking in the pot, but Xiu didn't care, and poked the big ice cube with a big iron spoon.

In such a fire, the ice melts so quickly that before the temperature inside can be communicated, the ice outside has thawed. Xiu turned the ice cubes in the pot from time to time and watched as a little bit of water melted out.

Victoria stared blankly at the tinkering with this. She didn't know if she should come forward to help now.

She had to stay where she was, looking at Xiu stupidly like a goose, just like the other Valkyries on the bed.

At this time, the sound of music came from a distance.

If you listen closely, you can hear that it is "In Praise of Autumn Rain". It is a hymn to the celebration held by the farmers of the Saxon people when the crops are harvested.

Victoria listened to the singing and watched the ice cubes gradually melt in the pot in front of her.

When a small amount of ice melts in the pot, a hint of fragrance gradually emerges from the pot. Victoria sniffed it and felt something familiar.

The more and more ice melts, and so does the amount that comes out. The scent was getting stronger and stronger, and as it filled Victoria's nose, she finally recognized it.

It is the taste of wheat.

"It's... It's—" She looked at the pot with some surprise.

Xiu smiled slightly, but did not speak.

He knocked on the ice, and finally broke it up with difficulty. After a few more moments, the ice finally melted completely.

It's a wheat porridge with a lot of vegetables and meat in it. But because it has been frozen, the color of the porridge is not good-looking.

"It'll be hot in a little while." Xiu fiddled with the black wood, and the fire burned even more vigorously.

"We... We..."

"You haven't eaten in a long time, it's not good to be too cold or too hot. Just be lukewarm. ”

"But..."

"This is the porridge you didn't eat yesterday. It's leftovers, not a winner's dinner. There is no need to be burdened. ”

"But I..."

"You know, I was really upset when you turned down this pot of porridge yesterday. Because I asked the uncle in the cafeteria to do it, he was surprised at that time. But you all eat ...... I secretly hid it near the dormitory and buried it in snow. The snow is clean and it won't get dirty when buried. And then I was thinking, I'm going to let you eat it. ”

"Xiu, I—" Victoria was about to say something, but Xiu threw down the spoon and turned around and grabbed Victoria's collar and asked loudly, "What are you hesitating about?" I've brought all the food to you, all you have to do is open your mouth and eat! What the hell are you afraid of? Do you really want your companions to starve to death with you! ”

"At most, I will starve myself to death, and I will definitely not implicate my companions!" When it comes to companions, Victoria has a little voice to speak.

"So what the hell are you waiting for!" Xiu roared angrily.

"You don't even know the horrors of Dimmert! You have no idea what will happen if you don't follow Dimert's wishes! Victoria seemed to respond with all her strength. After finishing speaking, she felt the world spin for a while, her legs couldn't help but weaken, and she knelt on the ground.

Xiu smiled softly.

"He's not going to have Gerald crazy and scary anyway." Xiu said. He loosened his collar and instead put his arm around her shoulder, "Because of the order, yes." Didn't get an order to eat? Xiu looked her in the eye.

Victoria nodded.

"Then I'll give the order." Xiu said softly.

Victoria looked at him in amazement. But she couldn't see clearly, and her eyes were full of blurry stars.

"Dimert has promised that if he wins you, he will hand over your command to me for about two hours." Xiu smiled, "Now, you have to listen to my orders." ”

Victoria didn't know about it. She's scared, but she's looking forward to it!

If it was usual, she would have to confirm it with Dimert, but now...

She didn't want to bother anymore!

She really needs food so much, they all need food so much! Need to get to Victoria and don't want to care about whether it's real anymore!

If it's true, she's just carrying out the order, if it's fake ... She just wanted to find an excuse to disobey the order!

Victoria's eyes sparkled with hope.

"Now, let's have something to eat together." Xiu helped her sit aside, "It's an order." ”

Victoria looked into Xiu's eyes tightly and looked at it for a long, long time. She was afraid, and the monk would say, "It's all a joke, it's all a lie." Something like that.

But even though Xiu was smiling, there was no joking frivolity in his eyes.

She could be sure that it was true. Xiu really has the authority to order them!

We... Saved...

For a split second, she felt a wave of warmth fill her eyes. The warmth was so huge, so uncomfortable, that she felt her eyes extremely sour, extremely uncomfortable.

The world is blurring, and the line of sight is no longer clear. This hot stream spread from her eyes to her nose, and a rich sourness surged through her nose all the way to the bottom of her heart.

Eventually, the heat gushed out of his eyes and dripped down his cheeks to the ground.

She bowed her head deeply.

"Victoria Squad...... Yes, sir. ”
