This banquet was not going to be held until late at night, so I sent someone to the New Heroic Guild and took Jin Siqi over.

Jin Siqi was dressed in a guild uniform and looked ordinary, but the small hands that tightly stirred the sleeves showed her nervous mood at this time.

She first saluted the old duke, then nodded to Harold, and then came to my side, grabbed my fingers with her little hand, squeezed them a few times, and said slightly: "Why is it so sudden, and you don't give me a little time to prepare." ”

I turned my face slightly, with a little aggrieved, and whispered: "I didn't expect the old duke to be so enthusiastic, but ......"

"But what?" Jin Siqi's face froze, and he hurriedly looked himself up and down.

"But you're really suitable for this uniform," I said with a smile on the corner of my mouth, "It not only brings out your sassy and heroic posture, but also highlights your vigorous and resolute temperament." ”

When Jin Siqi heard this, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was ashamed, but this kind of shyness only lasted for a few seconds, and her face suddenly changed, and her little hand pinched my waist and eyes, and said angrily: "If you want to say that I am not feminine, just say it!" ”

I gasped and whispered for mercy: "Spare my life, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't say it in the future, hey, hey, light, the meat is going to be pinched off, hiss, it's okay to go home, there are still people watching here." ”

Jin Siqi withdrew her hand fiercely and smiled apologetically at the old duke.

The old duke laughed, then pretended not to see anything, picked up the teacup, and continued to drink tea.

On the other side, Harold looked at me with a smile, and his expression looked like his father-in-law watching his daughter and son-in-law mess around.

The dinner party was prepared for a full hour, and the moment the door of the restaurant was opened, the whole person was immersed in the lingering aroma of the food, and suddenly felt refreshed.

It's really salivating at the smell, and the index finger is moving at the sight.

It's a hundred times more wonderful than the orc king's imperial meal.

The old duke straightened his waist, looked proud, and said, "How is it, how is my family's meal compared to Your Majesty's?" ”

If this is placed on the Azure Planet, eighty percent will be considered to be rebellious.

But here, it was the old duke who said this, and the taste was different.

I gave a thumbs up and immediately said: "It is said that the old duke has two characteristics, one is that he is fierce in battle, he can be called the champion of the three armies, and the other is that he has a soft spot for delicacies. ”

The old duke laughed and laughed very heartily, as if he had drunk the elixir and eaten the elixir peach.

After everyone was seated, the feast began.

The old duke first picked a piece of roast beef, and while cutting it carefully and unhurriedly, he said: "Xiao Yi, you have the greatest credit for sending troops this time, why don't you go together to quell the chaos and accumulate some merits, this will be of great help to you in the future prime minister." ”

I fiddled with the lettuce leaves and said slowly: "I'm only good at killing monsters, not good at killing, what's more, I was born with a yearning for a free and easy life, and I never considered how long I could stay in the position of prime minister." ”

"I used to think the same as you, and I just want to be an adventurer of idle clouds and wild cranes, kill monsters every day, make some money, worry about food and clothing, and have a happy family, which is the greatest happiness, and then met my old master, he told me that a man in his life, to live vigorously, responsible, courageous, not only to protect the family, but also to defend the country, only to be regarded as a hot-blooded man, only to be worthy of this trip to the world" The old duke put down the knife and fork, picked up a cut beef with chopsticks, and said seriously: "So, I gave up the idle clouds and wild cranes, gave up the free heart, chose to join the army, become the commander of the army in Dasai City, together with the old master, conquer the Quartet, pacify the frontier, to this day, that period of passionate life, still appear in front of me from time to time, every time I think of it, let me this old bone excited for a long time, let's say, in my life, the most correct decision is to listen to the old master's words, join the army, and make contributions to Dasai City. ”

The old man was so excited that the chopsticks in his hands trembled, and the beef he was holding had already fallen into the plate in his constant trembling.

It wasn't until he subconsciously put the chopsticks in his mouth and chewed them twice that he reacted, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.

I cut the lettuce leaf into thin strips, forked one with a fork, stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it twice, and then sighed lightly and said: "What the old duke said is very true, and I also very much yearn for the passionate and ambitious life you described, but you are different from me, you have a choice, and I have no choice." ”

The old duke raised his eyebrows, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "How do you say this?" ”

"Presumably the old duke knows my identity, do you think that a person with my status may only be loyal to one country?"

The old duke was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled, and said, "If you don't say it, I really forgot." ”

As he spoke, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, nodded at me, and said, "See, child, this is the price of your heart." ”

I smiled wryly, "You're right. ”

After the dinner, it was late at night, and the old duke wanted to stay with us, but I politely declined.

On the way home, I patted Harold on the shoulder and complimented, "You almost took it seriously today." ”

Harold was stunned: "What play?" ”

I said, "That's the one that asked to join the army." ”

"That's not acting" Harold shook his head, "It's my truth, compared to Ari City, I like it more here, there is no intrigue, no deceit, and there are not too many conflicts and differences of interest, everyone is like brothers, happy together, for me, this is simply the most beautiful paradise." ”

"It's great that you can think that," I nodded.

Beside him, Jin Siqi said: "You traveled with the army this time, and after you come back, it is estimated that you will be knighted by the Orc King, and with the title, even if you have a firm foothold in Dasai City, then do you have any plans, such as which girl in the guild you have a crush on, or do you have a favorite object?" ”

Harold blushed and said, "We are all old friends and know each other well, so don't tease me." ”

Jin Siqi grinned and said: "This is not a joke, but the truth, I can't stay in Dasai City for the rest of my life, sooner or later I will hand over the position of the president to you to sit, at that time, you will not be as free as you are now, you are busy every day, and you can't do it without a virtuous help, so ah, you have to take advantage of the period when Xiao Yi will come to Dasai City from time to time, and hurry up to do your business, so as not to complain indiscriminately when you are anxious in the future." ”

When Harold heard this, his old face turned even redder, but when he was shy, his expression added a bit of loss.
