"Looking forward to my arrival, old friend, I hope that with the help of the Well of Eternity, the demonic chains have not completely eroded your will, or you will not be able to see the tears I have left behind."

As soon as the words fell, the mysterious powerhouse disappeared, and Anduin did not rush to recall his followers, but quietly summarized the existing information: "First of all, this mysterious powerhouse is a figure from ancient times, who has crossed paths with the Titans and has gained a long life, and secondly, his old friend was sealed in the Lost Imperial Capital by the Elven Empress, or by the way, because only the power of the Well of Eternity can help his old friend resist the erosion of the demonic chains, and finally combine the iconic bandaged hand of the mysterious powerhouse, to sum up, He should have been the Ethereal Merchant who didn't run away. ”

"In three days, this Ethereal Merchant will open the seal, enter the Elven Imperial Capital, kill his old friends, and those Ancient Elves who may still be asleep, and monopolize the Well of Eternity!" Anduin narrowed his eyes, revealing a strange look, "So, who will be the old friend who is bound by the demon's chains?" ”

He stopped thinking about the question and instead asked the system, "How much time does it take to scan the bones of the Titans?" ”

[Normal speed, four days.] 】

"What about the abnormal speed?"

【One day! 】

"Yo Roar, why is the gap so big?"

[Turn on the extreme mode, the system will turn off all external functions, and the host needs to touch the Titan's bones at zero distance, and it cannot be released for 24 hours.] 】

"It's not that hard, but does that mean the Hearthstone Inn has to be closed for a day? It seems that this is the only way to do it. ”

Anduin rubbed his chin: "If I really let that Ethereal Merchant succeed, it is estimated that the Hearthstone Inn will be closed permanently, after all, the Elven Empress has not been able to move the Well of Eternity in the first place, and it is impossible for this ruthless Ethereal Merchant to allow me to continue to open a shop on it." Well, let's go to the Lost Imperial Capital to explore the limelight first, and if the situation deteriorates, we can only gather the existing forces and start the battle to defend the Hearthstone Inn. ”

【Defend the Inn!】 】

"You're not a flame villain, so it's not cute at all."

【……】

After making a plan, Anduin immediately carried it out, got up and went to the front hall, and said to the big knight who was reading the book and keeping vigil: "Ed, please inform everyone that the hotel is closed for one day, and the food and beverage supply will be stopped. ”

"What?"

Ed, who has always been calm, was a little surprised, so decent, why is the hotel closed?

"There's an important matter that I have to concentrate on, and I can't take care of the hotel's business for the time being."

"Hmm......" Ed muttered, "the question is, where are we going to eat?" ”

Anduin frowned: "That's a problem, eh, I remember the previous chef of the manor, and he hasn't been dismissed yet, so let them come." ”

"But I don't think I'm the only one who thinks they're not good enough."

Looking at Ed's tangled expression, Anduin was a little surprised: "Oh my God, Ed! When did you start chasing appetites? ”

"I think Archbishop Kidd would have been like this if he had stayed a few more days."

The Grand Knight said very seriously, Anduin shrugged his shoulders and smiled dumbly: "I suddenly found that being too popular is also a troublesome thing!" Well...... In that case, you have to find a chef who can get by, tsk, how did I forget about him? Ed, please go upstairs and bring Mr. Martin down. ”

The Grand Knight was a little puzzled, but he still did as he was told, and after a while, a dazed Martin came to the front hall, forced his eyes open and complained: "Count Anduin, what are you going to do in the middle of the night?" ”

"Please substitute for you!"

Martin was stunned for a few seconds, looking dumbfounded, not understanding.

Anduin smiled slightly: "I have some things and I have to leave for a day, so please be responsible for making today's three meals a day." ”

Martin was stunned for a few seconds, his face was dumbfounded, and he couldn't figure it out: "Count Anduin, you are leaving, and the chef is not leaving, what are you bothering me for?" ”

"Because the chef is leaving, too!"

"This ......" Martin suddenly came to his senses and shook his head suddenly, "I'm not a chef!" ”

"Mr. Martin, it's not interesting to still pretend to be garlic, don't think I don't know, you analyze my meals here every day." Anduin smiled sinisterly, "If you listen to me, I'll assume that none of this happened, or else...... Hum! My territory, I have the final say. ”

"You're a bandit!"

"Sorry, even if you want to go to court, you have to cook first. What's more, I don't believe that any judge will offend me, a great nobleman who is about to be promoted to marquis. ”

Sometimes, Anduin thinks that privilege is a good thing, no wonder everyone flocks to it, looking at Martin's expression of suffering and nowhere to say, he feels extremely happy: "Of course, as a beloved and upright nobleman, I will give you the reward you deserve, but the premise is that there are no bad reviews that affect the good image of the Hearthstone Inn!" ”

Martin took a deep breath and had to choose to accept his fate: "Well, I will follow the wishes of Earl Anduin, as a chef, I have my own ethics, although I will not make new dishes on the menu, but I will do my best to cook my best dishes!" ”

"Well, your professionalism is worthy of admiration!" Anduin smiled slightly, "Come with me, visit your workshop first, breakfast is simple, but it has to be served to the whole town, if you are really busy, you can let Ed help, lunch and dinner, there will be the original manor chef to help you." ”

Following Anduin into the corridors on both sides, Martin was a little excited, he had always wanted to meet the mysterious chef of the Hearthstone Inn, but he never found a chance, who would have thought that the dream was disturbed, this opportunity actually took the initiative to run in front of him, but when he walked into the back kitchen, he did not find the legendary mysterious chef, and couldn't help asking: "Count Anduin, could it be that your chef has not woken up yet?" I admired his cooking skills and wanted to meet him and answer my questions. ”

"No, he left the inn first." Anduin glanced at Martin, naturally knowing the other party's thoughts, "You can try all kinds of tools first, most of the machines here are more advanced than the ones on the market, but the use method has not changed much, I think with Mr. Martin's professionalism, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

As a professional chef who thinks he is the best, he can't control his hands, and he is determined to make the most satisfying food in the back kitchen of the Hearthstone Hotel, and challenge the mysterious chef who has never been masked!

Seeing that he was quickly getting into shape, Anduin wasted no more time, gave Ed a look, quietly exited the back kitchen, and knocked softly on Sonia's door.

Crunch!

"What for?"

"There's something that needs to be talked about."

"Then why can't I go to your room?"

"Time is of the essence!"

Sonia glared at Anduin, and finally let the way open, so that someone walked into the room, well, that's all, at the critical moment, Anduin can distinguish priorities, not to mention that he and Sonia have not yet developed to that point, although at the time of entry, his eyes still swept around quickly, and it was a pity that he couldn't see something that could not be described.

"Don't think that if Grandpa Ferding is back, I won't dare to do it!"

"Ahem, here's the thing, I'm going to live in the underworld for a day, and if things go well, I'll be back by early tomorrow morning."

Sonia narrowed her eyes: "What if it doesn't go well?" ”

"You'll know when I get back."

“……”

Anduin smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the kobold king is here and wants to invite me to accompany him for a day, you know, the kobold are hospitable and don't hesitate to treat heroes." ”

Sonia looked suspicious: "But as far as I know, Towager is extremely greedy for money and often exploits his people, if it weren't for a few legendary powerhouses such as the earth diviner, who obeyed the instructions of the old king and helped him, he would have been ousted from the throne long ago." ”

"Hah!" Anduin laughed dryly, he didn't expect Sonia to know so much about the situation of the kobolds, "Okay, to tell you the truth, I accepted the deal of the kobold king, I want to go on an expedition in a foreign country, and there is no risk in going back and forth for a day, and since the minecart can only run one, there is no need for you to follow, the reason why I said this to you is just to ask you to tell Grandpa Ferdin, so that he does not have to worry." ”

"Really?"

"It's more real than real gold!"

Sonia didn't comment, and glanced at Anduin: "The underground world is full of crises, don't feel invincible in the world just because you have the gift of holy light, everything is based on safety, and caution is the first." ”

"Thank you for your concern, but I'd rather have something tangible."

"The dagger is real, do you want to get some?"

"I'm kidding, why are you so serious? Don't come here, or I'm going to do it, don't come here...... Hmm~ It seems that today's cake is not sweet enough, I want to try again and see what else can be improved! ”

"Get out!"
