The "Twilight Tavern" in Eugene's mouth is indeed very strange. vertex

Its architecture, its interiors, the music played by the bards, and even the dim and extravagant lighting were fine, not only not outlandish, but rather appropriate, and the boss had clearly studied it.

The problem is mainly with the food.

Dreis had never seen such a strange food, but the other diners were having a good time.

It was a wooden barrel the size of an orc's head, about twenty centimeters high, filled with food, and it seemed to come in two flavors. A tall waiter will ask you if you like spicy or sweet, and then serve different flavors depending on your needs.

Deres saw a bucket in front of an acquaintance containing cuts of steak fried until golden brown, as well as kiwifruit and fried potatoes, coated with some kind of dark red sauce and garnished with dill and basil leaves. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief in one hand, and kept putting food into his mouth with the other.

As for eating in such a hurry?

Dreas remembers that the guy was from Wharton Plains, near the Black Thorn Forest, where peppers were produced.

But when has he ever been spicy like this?

And his wife, a female orc thicker than Eugene's waist, was sticking out her tongue to lick the cream from the bucket, and her face was covered in mush, as if it was a mixture of cooked corn kernels and creamy smoothies.

What is this?

Deres was confused, in his eyes, this kind of bucket was used to hold swill, but these people in front of him were eating so happily...... This made him very repulsive.

"Are you sure these things are delicious?" He couldn't help but ask.

"It tastes great, I vouch for it!" Eugene patted his chest and said: "This shop was opened half a month ago, and the boss is stronger than me, but the things made ...... taste."

Eugene's eyes were slightly closed, revealing a look of memory.

"It reminds me of the pumpkin pie my mother made when I was a child, it was just as soft and sweet."

"Captain Eugene, you just said last time that she died in childbirth......"

"Really? That could be my brother's mother. ”

"......" Deres rolled his eyes, he didn't want to go around in circles with the other party anymore. Say, what's the matter? ”

At this moment the tall waiter came with two buckets of food.

"Your food."

He put down his things, his hands and feet were very light, the wooden barrel bottom did not make any sound when it touched the table, and his hands did not tremble in the whole process.

Deres looked at the waiter's hand, a little dazed, and Eugene had already begun to explain to himself.

"Here's the thing, I've heard that some time ago there were a lot of elves who crossed the Hengduan Mountains and went to the east......"

He lowered his voice and spoke in a pretended deep voice.

Deres didn't listen, his attention was still on the waiter's hands. However, when Eugene mentioned the word "elf", he visibly saw the muscles in that hand stiffen for a moment.

It's a very subtle movement, if he doesn't happen to stare at it, he won't notice it.

Strange waiter, why are these hands so steady?

“…… That's the way it is, I know you have experience before...... Hey, Deres, are you listening to me? ”

"Ahh When Dreas came to his senses, the waiter had already walked out, and Eugene was reaching out and shaking his shoulder.

"Damn, where did you get distracted?"

"Hmm...... Your brother's mother died in childbirth, and you didn't. Deres scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I remember you said that you only have one biological brother......"

"Oh my God......" Eugene covered his face. I've been sorting out the wording for so long, and it's been perfect......"

He had to repeat it from the beginning.

……

Eugene's plan is actually very simple, which is to make a cameo appearance in the slave hunting team.

Deres had had a similar experience earlier and was highly athletic, so he valued him.

In fact, in the eyes of Deres himself, Captain Eugene is probably interested in his identity: as long as he can successfully graduate from Jialan Academy, his future is limitless.

Whether it's joining Jialan's intelligence unit, Shadow Footsteps, staying in school to teach in the Scout Section, or serving as the mouthpiece of a mage, he'll become a true part of the vast empire, in other words, a nobleman.

This is also the reason why Eugene wants to befriend him, a mercenary like him can't become a real nobleman for the rest of his life, and the knightly status he bought is not recognized, and everyone knows this.

If Dereis, who will become a nobleman in the future, accepts Eugene's son as his adopted son, then he will also have the opportunity to follow the same path as Dereis, but it will be easier and flatter, unlike Deres who has suffered a lot of discrimination and white eyes.

But Deres refused.

The trip to Kansa taught him what it means to have someone outside the world, and he no longer has blind confidence in his own strength. And he'd seen the power of the elves, and he didn't want to provoke these pointy-eared immortals again.

"Don't say no so simply." Eugene took a sip of fruit wine and said in a low voice, "I also heard that something has happened in Silvermoon City, and now those elves are like poor stray cats, and there are no sentinels to protect them. ”

"What?"

"Quiet......" Eugene made a silent gesture and looked around.

"I have a friend who is a mountain dweller near the Hengduan Mountains, and he said that the old city has become a dead city, and even the quiet forest has begun to be barren. The elves kept climbing over the Hengduan Mountains, and they all looked lost and frightened at the slightest disturbance. ”

"But that doesn't mean they're easy to deal with, they're fine."

"Listen to me, boy." Eugene interrupted him rudely, a grim look on his face. "You're seventeen years old this year, and if you want to graduate from Jialan as soon as possible, it will take four years, right?"

Dreas nodded.

"Four years, the annual tuition fee is 5,000 gold coins, and four years is 20,000 gold coins, 20,000 gold coins! I've also heard that you've offended Master Hans of the Seven Clover Firm...... Is this true? ”

Deres raised an eyebrow.

The Seven Clover Firm, which was run by Hans's family, monopolized the potion industry, and then sold it at a high price, and was privately known by the mercenaries as the "Seven Heads of Hydra", which means poisonous snakes with seven heads and sucking human blood.

He hadn't thought that the little gap between himself and Hans would grow to such a point, and he really underestimated how disgusting the guy was.

What he didn't know was that Hans was humiliated by Lucien during his pursuit of Emma, and all his anger that had nowhere to vent was on him. If you want to calculate it this way, this pot should be carried by Lucian.

"It's true." When Eugene saw him like this, he understood, and said seriously: "I know in my heart how you survived before, but it will definitely be affected later." I don't dare to talk too much, such as how to help you under pressure in the future, after all, a whole group of people still expect me to eat. But this time, I can call the shots, and I will give you my commission after the matter is completed, so that you will not have to worry about tuition fees for two years. ”

After hearing this, Deres was a little surprised, such a deal of slave catchers could be divided into 10,000 gold coins? Then he was a little moved, he knew that Eugene was not helping him for free, but what in this world was free? He's better than those who don't make things clear.

He took a sip of the fruit wine, and the cold liquid calmed Dres.

"Time, place."
