Chapter 104: The Turtle Counts and the Stranger

"President Van Cleef's level is really not blown, just seeing the rough prototype of the new branch, I began to look forward to the final result, I heard that he was guided by Count Anduin to get a lot of new inspiration through the renovation of the Hearthstone Inn, no wonder it looks so pleasing to the eye."

"Who says it's not, everyone wants to finish it early, no one is lazy, but I'm tired enough, I want to eat more hot pot at noon today, just listen to Hera Tieli all day long, let me be greedy for a long time."

"Aren't you afraid that hot pot won't taste good?"

"How is this possible? Is there anything bad to eat here in the Earl of Anduin? Eh, the hotel is coming, it's cold, let's walk a few steps and wait for hot pot! ”

Thinking that the delicacy was calling, the two explorers walked much brisker, facing the snow, and quickly entered the hotel gate, and suddenly found that many people gathered near the bar, and laughter came from time to time, and the two hurriedly stepped forward, through the gap in the crowd, they saw a strange woman, with a beautiful face, very eye-catching, and couldn't help but ask others: "Who is that?" ”

"Listening to Grand Knight Eddard, it seems that she is the granddaughter of the old butler of Fordin, and it seems that she has something to do with Count Anduin."

"Oh~!"

The two of them stretched out their voices and suddenly realized, and then they heard a childish protest: "People are not turtles, they are progenitor turtles, their names are Jenny turtles, and they are not turtles!" ”

Finding the source of the sound, the two couldn't help but look at each other, with their exploration experience, they had never heard of the name of the Ancestor Turtle, and they were suddenly a little curious about where this little guy who could talk came from. Jones, who was sitting next to the bar, smiled and asked, "Isn't it all a turtle?" Jenny Turtle, I'll ask you a question, and if you get it right, I'll give you what you want! ”

Hearing that there was a benefit, the little turtle immediately came to his senses, and said in a milky voice: "You ask!" ”

Jones smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said slowly: "There are many turtles and progenitor turtles, locked in the same cage, counting from above, there are ten heads, counting from below, there are thirty-two legs, so the question is, how many turtles, and how many progenitor turtles?" ”

Jenny Turtle was gifted and intelligent, and he had no teacher of basic mathematics, squatted on the bar, drew dots with his small hands, and quickly came up with the answer, and replied with his head held high: "Four Ancestral Turtles, Six Turtles!" ”

Jones smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

"It's not easy!" Jenny Turtle was very angry, "Our Ancestor Turtle can stand on only two feet, but the turtle has to use four legs, first assume that all of them are turtles, and then reduce the number a little bit, and soon we can get the answer!" ”

"That's smart!" Jones clapped his hands and applauded, "But unfortunately, you got it wrong!" ”

"Huh?"

Jenny Turtle opened his mouth wide and quickly checked it: "That's right!" That's four progenitor turtles and six turtles. Hum! You definitely want to lose and don't admit it, Sister Sonia, he bullies! ”

"Little guy, you are smart and smart, but your experience is too shallow, you don't know the sinister world, today, I will teach you a truth, remember it and you will benefit for life!" Jones hugged his arms and smiled, "I didn't say that the ten heads on the top are the total!" The tortoise landed on all fours, too short to show its head, and could only count its feet, so the final answer was ten progenitor turtles and three tortoises! Little one, do you remember? ”

In the face of the inquiry, Jenny Turtle seemed to have been deceived, and his mouth was full of sadness, but it caused bursts of laughter, and even Sonia showed a beautiful smile.

At this time, the doors of the corridors on both sides opened, and Fording was pushed out by Anduin in a wheelchair made by a dwarf engineer, followed by Arthas, just now, the three of them ended the confidential meeting, and did not witness the whole process of Jenny Turtle being "bullied" by humans.

Jones, who had been thinking about the hot pot, stopped teasing the little guy and immediately asked, "Earl Anduin, it's almost time for dinner, why can't you see the shadow of the hot pot?" ”

"The people haven't arrived yet, don't worry."

Facing the scorching gaze, Anduin couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, the bearded dwarf always talked about the hot pot here and there, which made the other explorers impatient to wait, but in order to take care of everyone's emotions, he still ordered someone to put out the dipping sauces such as sesame sauce and sesame oil first, so that Jones and the others were curious to study while waiting for the Storm townspeople to arrive one after another.

The purpose of this banquet was to reward the contributions of the crew such as Masif, and to welcome the fresh blood brought by Varry and others, so Anduin didn't plan to make a big deal, but just invited old townspeople such as Old Kane to quickly integrate into the life of Stormwind with their help.

However, perhaps because of Arthas's connection, many of the people who had come all the way from the Silver Fortress did not dare to sit down early, and it was not until near noon that they were warmly invited by the townspeople of Stormtown, such as Masif and Vary, to sit cautiously in the hall, and lowered their eyes, not daring to glance at them at all, for fear of causing Anduin and Arthas to be unhappy.

Even if the news of His Royal Highness the Prince's closeness to the people spread all over the streets and alleys of the Silver Fortress, no one dared to sit under the same roof with him to dine together, and a few bold dared to sneak a few glances, and they were directly frightened, because they saw an unbelievable scene, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was in a high position, actually sat at the same table with ordinary townspeople!

O Holy Light!

Are they not afraid of offending the pride of the nobility?

It has to be said that although the silver fortress under the rule of Terenus has made the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is still an insurmountable barrier between ordinary people and nobles, which is not at all as free and easy-going as Stormwind Town.

For example, Benedictas easily fanned the people to openly rebel against Anduin's will at the cost of their lives, not only because of the main reason for his succession, but also because of the authority of the lord of Berval, which was far from being feared in the hearts of the townspeople.

Today, Anduin still does not want to be a high nobleman, and of course, he is sure to prevent the emergence of a second Benedictas. His gaze swept across the hall, the atmosphere was not as warm as he had imagined, and Anduin felt that he should say something to ease the nerves of the newcomers.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a child squeezed into his head, looked around in a panic, and asked timidly, "Excuse me...... Is this the residence of the Earl of Anduin? ”

Anduin immediately looked at it and was very surprised, wasn't this little boy the henchman of the old fox Marin? He immediately waved his hand and smiled: "White, long time no see!" What about Mr. Marin? I still remember the promise I made with him! ”

Following the prestige, White found Anduin's figure, very surprised, he was very grateful to Anduin for reaching out in times of crisis, but he just wanted to step into the door, but was pressed by a big hand on the head, the old fox Marin was very tasteless and jumped into the door, and pretended to be free and easy, shook off the snowflakes on his head, and his sharp eyes approached the front: "Ha! Little fox, if you still remember the agreement! In order to go to the appointment, I specially found the most picky gourmand in the whole world, if you can't get his head from the food here, that holy light diamond will belong to me! ”

Anduin was confident, no matter how picky a gourmand was, he would bow down to the brilliant crystallization of the earth's culture, and immediately smiled faintly: "Otherwise, you will have to stay in Stormwind Town forever, and you will not leave without my permission!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse if you say it!" The old fox shook his black shoulders and stomped on his riding boots, "Whygh, why don't you invite our gourmets into the door?" ”

Little White answered, and hurriedly opened the door, Anduin raised his eyes, and immediately showed a strange look, because he saw a black and white round creature, squeezed into the door with great difficulty, looked at everyone in the lobby, and opened his mouth to say-

"May the green dragon guide you."
