Chapter Sixty-Eight: It All Starts with Takeout

Ten delivery men, including Marsiff, arrived at the Hearthstone Inn early, ready to load the truck, and hurriedly deliver breakfast to all the townspeople, but today's delivery team is very different from the past, and Marsif is responsible for the route with two more helpers, one is naturally Red, who is trying to accept failure, and the other is Jones, who is full of sleepiness.

"Ah......h

One of the explorers yawned, glanced at the chief's son, who was looking at breakfast, and asked, "Earl Anduin, aren't you afraid that this fellow will eat up the contents of the wagon halfway?" ”

While counting breakfast, Anduin said without raising his head: "That's why I thank you!" ”

Jones shrugged and complained helplessly: "You're really going to treat him as a sidekick......"

Anduin nodded slightly, although he made this request at the beginning to tease Red, but after a long conversation with the old lord, he was really ready to accept a follower, at least to make Red's positive favorability reach the critical point of generating cards.

According to the old lord's understanding, the Blackstone tribe is currently in a critical period of replacement of the old and the new, who can successfully inherit the chieftaincy, will determine the relationship between the Blackstone tribe and the Silver Fortress, if the shrewd and cunning Maim Black Hand becomes the new chief, its destruction is far more terrible than Red, and according to various investigations, this heir with the highest voice is not as simple as it seems.

Therefore, the old lord wanted to add weight to Red's succession through his negotiations with Orgrim, and Anduin was asked to use various means to smooth the edges and corners of the chief's son, so that his mind could grow in the tempering, and even if it could not succeed, he would initially establish a friendship between the two sides.

"To be more precise, he is not qualified to be a follower at this time, and is currently just a worker who exchanges labor for food."

Anduin's indifferent statement made Red's attention take his attention away from the food, and he exclaimed angrily: "It's good to be a worker, you think I'm rare to be your sidekick?" ”

[I don't think there will be any positive effect on letting him deliver takeaways. 】

Anduin ignored Red, turned his head and continued to check the goods, while saying in his heart, "Just wait quietly." ”

"Look, it's here again!" Jones rolled his eyes, "I don't know who swore yesterday that you wouldn't eat human cooking, don't talk too much, what if you really become Earl Anduin's henchman in the future?" Okay, the goods are full, Masif, you lead the way, let him push the cart, let's go early and return early. ”

Mathef, who was about to push the cart, glanced at Red with some embarrassment, and found that the burly orc only had a black face and was not very angry, so he quietly moved out of the way. Red looked at the truck, hesitated for a few seconds, but still stood in Ma's position, tried to push the car, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face: "It's easy, there's nothing difficult." ”

"If you feel relaxed, don't bother, many townspeople are waiting!"

Jones urged the action, and the three of them quickly got up, because Red's steps were relatively large, so Masif, who was leading the way, had to trot and leave the manor at a much faster speed than before, which made Masif subconsciously think that today's delivery work was easier, but as the snow and rain fell and the cold wind howled, the situation began to get worse.

Stormwind Town is no match for the Silver Fortress, and the roads in the territory are mainly dirt, so when the snow and rain gradually rise, the road will be muddy, and the three of them have just finished delivering half of their breakfast, and the truck repeatedly falls into the mud puddle.

"Good look, what's the sleet?"

Jones slapped the flocculent snowflakes that condensed on his shirt, and couldn't help but shiver, even if he had a good physique, it was difficult to resist the biting cold, compared to the thickest Masif, who was not affected much, which made Jones regret not wearing a few more.

Then, he looked at Red, who was silent, and found that the other party was also shivering from the cold, the son of the chieftain was burly and only wore a few simple clothes, and he had to be defeated at this coldest moment.

Jones did not taunt, but helped Red push the cart, and the hungry orc looked at him, moved his mouth without speaking, and began to deliver the wagon at a faster pace, and it was not long before there was only one breakfast left at Kane's house, and after it was delivered, it was time to return for a second trip.

Ma's palms to shield his face from the snow and rain, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw old Kane standing in front of the door waiting for his arrival as usual, as the terminal of the first meal delivery, the Kane family would always prepare hot soup to relieve his cold and fatigue, and today was no exception.

It's just that old Kane, on the other hand, was surprised in his heart, he looked left and right, and felt that the food delivery team was very special, not only Jones came out, but even the orc followed, and when the three of them stood still, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?" ”

Jones took out a new breakfast and smiled casually: "Work for Earl Anduin." ”

Old Kane hurriedly put the newly ordered pizza and scallion pancakes into the basket he carried with him, took out the hot soup, and handed it to Masif: "It's cold, you drink these soups first, and I'll go back and get a few more bowls." ”

So saying, the old man turned back to the house, and Masheif took the hot soup but it was difficult to make it, and after thinking about it, he was about to give it to Jones, but the explorer did not accept it, and handed it to Red, who endured the cold.

"It's ...... For me? ”

The chief's son was particularly surprised, according to what he knew at the dinner table, Jones's character was selfish, and he could abuse his private power for food, how could he be kind to him?

But what he didn't know was that Jones was very measured, and it was just a way for him to get closer to other explorers, and of course, he would be willing to fight for food when it came to things like barbecue and roast whole sheep.

"Nonsense, you contribute the most, you should drink it first!"

Jones's tone was full of reason, Red was stunned for a few seconds, before taking the hot soup, tilting his head and pouring it into his mouth, with a strange look on his face, this hot soup was naturally not brilliant compared to the food in the Hearthstone Hotel, but at this moment, he felt that this kind of food could best dispel the cold and hunger for him.

Then the elder Kane walked out of the room, followed by little Kane, and his wife and son stood by the door, their eyes full of curiosity and concern.

"Come on, come on, come and get a bowl and drink the soup while it's hot."

Kane Sr. greeted with a smile, while Little Kane was in charge of pouring the soup while staring at Red with wary eyes.

As a guard post, he knows very well that this seemingly peaceful town has always been infested by orcs before, if it weren't for the frequent actions of Count Berval and the old butler of Fordin, I am afraid that the town would have fallen apart in panic, so little Kane couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart and received the orcs kindly.

Red saw his gaze, snorted and turned to the side, waiting for Jones and Mathef.

Humans hate orcs, and orcs hate humans, this is the natural opposition between the two races, and Red does not expect all the townspeople to be as hostile to him as Mazef.

But old Kane suddenly cried out, "Why don't you come?" There's still a lot of soup left! ”

Little Kane frowned, and Red asked in surprise, "Call me?" ”

Old Kane nodded, and sighed abruptly: "You don't have to feel strange, when I was young, I followed Lord Bolval to establish Storm Town, and I also wished to destroy all the orcs all day long, and then I experienced a lot of things, and I also saw it, some hatred can't be forgotten, but since you don't have a weapon, I will treat you as an ordinary visitor from outside, come here, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Red stood stunned, not knowing what to say, and Jones, who had finished drinking the hot soup, urged: "What are you rubbing? Hurry up and finish drinking and go back, there are still two more trips to send! ”

"Oh!"

Seeing Red carefully holding the soup bowl and reaching out in front of him, little Kane realized that his father's words were not only to Red, but also to himself.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

This burly orc never thought that he would say thank you to a human, especially since this human can't completely let go of the hostility between races, little Kane was a little surprised, and turned to a crying and laughing look: "You're welcome, drink quickly." ”

Red poured the hot soup into his mouth again, smiled even more, gently handed the bowl back, and praised it sincerely: "It's delicious." ”

"Drink and go!"

Seeing that the snow and rain were not abating, Jones thanked the Kane family, and then pushed the truck back and left, and arranged for Masif to stay at Kane's house for the time being, waiting for him and Red to return.

Red hurriedly said goodbye, and chased after him, feeling that it was too troublesome to continue to push the cart, so he simply carried it on his shoulder, Jones smiled slightly, this way is far less labor-saving than pushing the cart, and the two fourth-order powerhouses hurried back to the Hearthstone Hotel, but the other nine salesmen had just finished delivering half of it.

Anduin looked at the two of them and nodded secretly, especially the goodwill bar above Red's head, which suddenly increased a lot.

[Strange, why is the effect of food delivery so immediate? 】

"That's because I know that old Kane will prepare hot soup for Masif, and because I know that old Kane can't ignore Red, and because I know that what Red needs most now is not food and clothes, but genuine recognition."
