Luffy looked at the distant figure and lowered his head weakly.

The plain of Yote is far too different from the city of Navia.

In fact, anyone with a modicum of self-knowledge knows that the Yot Plain is still ruled by the lords only because of a contract made 300 years ago.

If not?

I'm afraid it has long been a dependency of Navia City.

And now, the city of Navia has undergone a shocking change.

Some lords naturally had thoughts in their hearts.

There is vigilance, and there is greed.

A wise man who was praised as a man, he gave the most sincere advice to the lords, but in the end, he ...... He showed up here anyway.

Greed blinds the eyes.

It makes people unable to see things clearly.

Ignorance makes people arrogant.

Alas.

With a sigh, Luffy turned to help the 'knight' Aiden.

No!

It should not be said that it is a so-called knight.

It should be said that it was his disciple Aiden.

……

The restaurant Qin Ran chose was in the kitchen, and a table was built with wooden boards and stones.

Qin Ran didn't have any dissatisfaction with the humble dining table, his eyes had already been attracted by the food in the iron pot.

Rove helped the man prepare the main dish full of beef, potatoes and radishes for Qin Ran.

Edrina took a basket of bread from a bunch of shelves.

Qin Ran waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to cut it again, so he took it over.

Then, Qin Ran started lunch in the way he had predicted.

The whole loaf of bread is soaked in the broth of the main course, and after about two seconds, the bread is picked up and shoved straight into the mouth.

During chewing and swallowing, the whole loaf of bread is quickly eaten.

And when the second loaf of bread soaked in the soup, Qin Ran picked up the spoon and began to scoop up a large piece of beef and put it into his mouth, followed by a whole piece of potatoes and radish.

In the thick soup, the potatoes and orange-red radishes, the former is soft, and the latter has a slight crispness.

When paired with the beef just now, it is really just right.

Qin Ran was busy, raised his right hand, and gave a thumbs up to the captain.

For those who are worthy of praise, Qin Ran is never stingy.

This is especially true of the people who gave him the food he made.

The stout man with a huge face opened his mouth and showed his teeth.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"It is my supreme honor to serve you."

Is there anything more satisfying about a chef than a compliment from a diner?

I'm afraid it's the identity of this diner who is extraordinary.

Qin Ran is such a diner.

The name of 'demihuman and demigod' has long become familiar with the return of the westward convoy, and the title of Qin Ran has also changed from an ordinary adult and Your Excellency to 'Your Majesty'.

No one doubts the truth of the matter.

In other words, in the eyes of the people at Aya's outpost, the ability that Qin Ran showed was really something that only the 'gods' could do.

"Together?"

After eating enough food, Qin Ran thought of Etrina on the side, and he invited the other party - with the relationship shown by both parties, such an invitation was necessary, and even, in some ways, he was already late to invite.

"Hmm."

"However, I prefer to watch Ryan eat you rather than eat."

"Every time I see you eating, I always feel happy...... It's as if the food has become delicious. ”

"But I really have to control myself."

Edrina didn't refuse, she said with a smile.

But unlike Qin Ran, the priestess took a small bowl, and it was only half full, and the bread was about one-third of the weight.

"Actually, there could be more."

"No!"

"Enough!"

"I don't want to be unable to put on leather armor."

Qin Ran looked at the amount of food on the other side and couldn't help but say, but the priestess immediately shook her head and refused.

Looking at the amount of food that the other party simply had and mimosa, Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

At the dinner table, he also made such an offer to the mimosa.

Unlike the priestess, Mimosa did not refuse.

It's just that......

Even if the mimosa is let go of eating, it is half a bowl more than usual.

More?

No way anymore, the mimosa's appetite decides everything.

Eating less is a loss for the other party.

As for the rest of the food?

There will be no left.

It's all his.

It's the same right in front of you.

So, the atmosphere at the table afterwards was quite pleasant.

The young soldier and the stout captain of the men consciously gave up the kitchen, and when the captain walked to the barracks, there was still a room where he needed his help.

The young soldiers, like personal guards, stood guard at the kitchen door.

Ten minutes after Qin Ran had gobbled it up, the priestess chewed and ate the half bowl of the main course slowly.

"What was the covenant between the city of Navia and the plain of Yote 300 years ago?"

When the other party put down the tableware, Qin Ran asked.

"I don't know."

"I just learned from a book that something happened 300 years ago that made the nascent city of Navia recognize everything on the Yote Plains."

"And, until now, nothing has changed."

The priestess replied.

"The 'hero' Iger also appeared 300 years ago?"

After Qin Ran pondered for a while, he suddenly asked.

"Ryan, do you think 'Hero' Egger is a native of the Yot Plains?"

"Impossible!"

"Although the deeds of that 'hero' have been deliberately downplayed, his birth is clearly documented, in the countryside around the city of Navia, which at that time was not really the city of Navia, but a slightly larger town, and the young 'hero' Egger was the son of a nobleman in the countryside, who declared himself a Navia when he first set foot in the city of Navia."

"And ......"

"His former retinue was also from Navia, some from the city, some from the countryside, and none of them came from the Yote Plains."

The priestess denied Qin Ran's speculation, but when it came to those 'retinues', the priestess was a little hesitant.

After all, those former retinues are the current gods.

Except for the few five.

Regarding the priestess's denial, Qin Ran did not refute it.

He was just a guess.

There is no conclusive evidence.

However, he wanted to find out more about 300 years ago.

Because......

It was about the gods of the city of Navia, whom he cared about the most.

"Can you help me get that 'Wise Man' Ruffy here?"

"I want to ask him something."

Qin Ran said so.

Etrina immediately understood what Qin Ran wanted to do.

"Don't worry."

"He'll be coming soon."

"And it's the kind I can't wait."

The priestess seemed to have thought of something, and immediately laughed.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the smile.

She knew what the lords of the Yot Plains were best at.
