Chapter 12: Interlude
Mijas and Miffel did not choose to turn back into a dragon and fly to Modric, first, there was no rush in this matter, Mijas remembered that the invasion of elemental creatures officially began 4 months later, and he would have been able to go to Modric long ago with so much time, and secondly, Miffel also wanted to experience the feeling of adventuring with his eldest brother, so now they are just an unusual adventure duo.

"Let's start an adventure party in the next city!" Miffel suggested, and after thinking about it, Mijas felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so in a small town on the border of the empire, the Mijas brothers entered the "Adventure House", a gathering place for adventurers.
"Miss, let's go through the formalities of the adventure team." Mijas knocked on the table, and the waitress who was reading a book shivered directly, then turned around embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I'll start here." The waitress looked for a moment in a panic, took out a form and handed it to Mijas, "This is the contract provided by the 'Adventure House', please write your name." The waitress confirmed the names of the Mijas brothers and asked, "Were you adventurers before?" If yes, give me the voucher. "Mijas and Miffel were adventurers hundreds of years ago, and although they don't do much quests, they have become very high in the "Adventure House" with the accumulation of time.
Seeing the two LV5 medals handed over, the waitress looked at the Mijas brothers in amazement, their appearance was too young, but they already had LV5 medals that represented the top adventurers. But her professionalism made her not ask too much, so after perfecting the information, she took out a LV3 team medal and handed it to Mijas, which is also the rule of the "Adventure House", when the adventurer founded the team, the adventurer was given a team medal of two levels lower according to the average level of the adventurer, and the minimum would not be lower than one level.
The small border town is not on any well-known trade route, and the Mijas brothers didn't find a suitable task here, but it wasn't a big deal, and they restocked up on some seasoning and continued their journey.
Dragons are rich, this sentence is basically true, even if the lazy dragon wakes up, he can get a huge wealth for human beings by selling the ambergris that grows in the place where he drools, by the way, most of the ambergris on the market comes from this, and there will be no adventurers looking for dragons everywhere but just for a little alchemy material, even if this material is very precious.
Because of this, spices, which were basically only tasted by the aristocracy, were the most basic necessities of life in the world of dragons. It just so happens that the elves who are the best at growing these things are the least of the races that dislike the taste, so the dragons and the elves have always maintained good trade ties, and there will always be an elven cook in the dragon king's temple, and the other dragons scattered around will hardly raid elven villages.
Now the Mijas brothers are walking in the territory of the Knight Empire, and the national ** network that the emperor has spent great efforts to build is indeed a project that benefits the country and the people.
They were indeed on an outing, and while passing by a mirrored lake, the Mijas brothers, who had been chatting all the way, decided to have a picnic, and Mijas's little toys came in handy again, the oven and the picnic napkins did not need to be bothered, and the ingredients were naturally groupers from the lake and wild deer from the nearby mountains.
Although the dragon's appetite is more terrifying, it can still be restrained in the state of transfiguration, on the contrary, the hunting skill, itself is a top hunter, after obtaining the strengthening of the tool, the dragon's hunting ability does not decrease but increases, you must know that the hunting tool is a humanoid intelligent life that lacks the hunting instinct to make up for this defect, but the dragon is the only intelligent life that has not lost the hunting instinct, so Mijas just casually walked around and brought back two wild deer, And Miffel caught two large barrels of fish during this time.
Well, their appetite can be restrained, but in this kind of time when there are no outsiders, they don't need to restrain it.
As a magic prop, the grill that Mijas took out does not need charcoal to use, and during the time of Mijas barbecue, Miffel took out an acoustic guitar and began to improvise, the country-style slow shake is very pleasant, which is also a reason why Mijas insists on cooking food by himself, the concert a few days ago once again aroused Miffel's passion for rock music, he played classical music for too long for the cute gold coins, and now is the time to indulge himself.
Great music, seductive scents, these are common reasons to attract uninvited guests, and as a protagonist, our Mijas is no exception.
"What a good song!" "What a fragrant smell!" The two voices sounded at the same time, which also represented the different pursuits of the two.
"You know how to eat!" There was a hint of disdain in the clear female voice, and it was always the boy who suffered in this regard, so the other party could only scratch his head and laugh "hey, hey, hey", but he didn't speak, and someone else found the stairs for him.
"Young Master, Miss, do you want to stay here and rest for a while?" The old butler is not afraid of any gangsters, this is the core control area of the Tangrad family, the great nobles in the northern part of the empire, the security has always been good, and he himself has a high-level strength, which is enough to deal with ordinary adventurers or mercenaries. And his so-called "rest" is naturally a more obscure statement, the most important thing for a nobleman is face, and he, as a noble housekeeper, naturally has to give his master enough face.
"Well, let's go, foodie brother." The girl lifted the hem of her skirt and walked to the place where the music came from, and the boy followed, the grass here is tended all the year round, so it is very neat, and it will not grow too vigorously, after all, this small mirror lake is a beautiful place, and the people of the Tangrad family often come here for outings.
"Huh?" Mijas, who had sensed the young girl before they approached, now noticed that they were coming here, turned his head to look at Miffel, who was still indulging in his music, and set up a formation so that he would not be disturbed by outsiders.
Chivalry can use formations, but unlike mages and Taoists, their formations are very simple, and their functions are also very simple, for example, the formation set by Mijas now can only keep the people in the formation focused and will not be affected by the outside world, which is a common formation used by knights when they "view the sword", but it is usually only used when it is absolutely safe.
"Shh The moment the girl saw the Mijas brothers, Mijas turned to her and made a silent gesture as if she had expected it.
The girl looked at the focused Miffel, nodded knowingly, and sat down cautiously, quietly admiring Miffel's slow rocking. The young man also made a gesture of tightening the zipper in his mouth under his sister's warning gaze, and then sat down like his sister, but he didn't pay attention to the music, but the venison under Mijas, spices he often eats, but the dragon has used this seasoning for a long time than humans, and as a rare non-combat-related content that can be recorded in the memory of the dragon family, the dragon's barbecue has always been a must on the mainland.
“!” Miffel, who finally came back to his senses, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that there were three more people here, he didn't feel the approach of the living in his perception, but after he saw the formation set up by Mijas, it was his eldest brother who set up this anti-disturbance formation before he realized it, and the strength of the dragon genius was indeed guaranteed.
"In Lower Yemu, these two are the heirs of the Tangrad family, please forgive me for bothering rashly." Although this Mirror Lake can basically be regarded as the private property of the Tangrad family, Yemu still puts his party in the position of guests, and the nobles' friendship skills are never overwhelming, although there are few adventurers worthy of the nobles' friendship, but the adventurers who can afford to use spices are definitely one of them.
"Don't worry, it's a great honor for my brother's music to be loved by the little lady." Mijas waved his hand, "I'm still a little confident in my barbecue skills, if you're interested, would you like to join us for a picnic?" "It's just three more mouths, not to mention that this kind of nobleman can't do anything to eat for nothing, and he will give a reward of sufficient value, and the dragon never gets along with the gold coins.
"Yes, yes!" The young man nodded immediately, he was not hungry, but after listening to the song for a while, he was impressed by the fragrance. The girl, on the other hand, gave her eldest brother an unfriendly look, and jumped up to Miffel's side, and made a perfect aristocratic etiquette, "I'm Jane Tangrad, I don't know your surname?" ”
"Miffel." To outsiders, Miffel has always been more cold.
"It turned out to be Master Miffel!" Miffel has been walking around human society for several years, and has even been invited by the imperial family, and the Tangrad family, as a field nobleman, has naturally heard this name. "It's a shame." The girl said in her heart that she liked the music just now, but Miffel even refused the invitation of the royal family, so naturally she didn't care about the Tangrad family.
Yemu himself took the young master out on an outing, and now that even the food was prepared, he was naturally willing to save some effort, and the name "Miffel" was credible enough, and Yemu believed that the bard would not harm their Tangrad family.
But Miffel and Mijas will not be against them, naturally there are other nobles who are at odds with the Tangrad family who are planning to do something less friendly to these two heirs, and a figure suddenly appears in Mijas's perception, and his superb stealth skills make Mijas only spot him when he walks within 200 meters.
"Have you offended any powerful people in the Tangrad family?" Halfway through the meal, Mijas suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Miss Jane was more perceptive than her brother, and immediately sensed what Mijas meant, and showed an incredulous expression.
"Miss Xiao is right, there is a quasi-legendary assassin lurking 200 meters away." Mijas smiled and said something that made the three nobles change color.
"Our rat friend, since I've found out, how about coming out for a meal together?" Mijas suddenly said in a loud voice.
