Chapter Twenty-Four: Mijas Who Doesn't Play According to the Routine
"Well, the moonlight fish here is quite fresh, it is worthy of being a transportation hub, and all kinds of goods can be seen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mijas took a sip of fish soup and nodded with satisfaction, he has always been a dragon who can enjoy it very well, and food is naturally a must.
"You're still the same, so fond of food." Faller smiled and took a bite of his lava crab fillet croquette, the crab meat of the lava crab has always been his favorite, but this kind of creature level 10 is not easy to catch, and humans do not have the technology to breed monsters, so usually only the real nobles can enjoy this delicacy. Of course, Faller is a big enough nobleman, not to mention his status as a legendary mage, he is also the most trusted person of His Majesty Emelo III, a first-class marquis in the court, although he is only a court nobleman and has no fiefdom, but judging from the fact that he can build a magic tower in the palace, at least this archmage was definitely the second-in-command in the empire during the reign of Emelo III.
"It's not a bad habit to like to eat!" Mijas feels nothing bad about himself, he has even spent nearly thirty years honing his cooking skills, and I have to say that the immortal species is willful, "The chefs here have good skills." He concluded that unlike lava crab, which relies purely on its own flesh, the processing of moonshine fish is more of a test of the chef's level, and this kind of fish will have different flavors due to the grasp of the heat during cooking, just like the moon phase, the umami taste will change from light at the new moon to full moon at the full moon, and then it will begin to decline again, and the moonshine fish that is fully cooked is not delicious at all.
"After all, it's the chef of Lord Bilis's family." Faller glanced at Count Billis, the lord of Bea, who was currying favor with Princess Margette, and raised his glass in greeting, and the Lord Earl raised his glass with a perfect smile in return.
Because Princess Margot came with the will of Emelo III this time, Count Bilis received the news early and came to greet the princess of the empire, if it weren't for the princess's eagerness to investigate the case, they should have come to the city lord's mansion first, so after Mijas proposed to find a place to eat, Faller took the two of them to the city lord's private dining.
Mijas and Phale talked about the past and recent anecdotes at the same table, and sometimes exchanged ideas with each other about magical items, in fact, Farer wanted to talk more about the Fire Element King, after all, it was Mijas who killed its clone, and this meeting found that Mijas had officially entered the legendary level, and it was difficult for him to confirm the true strength of the Fire Element King. However, this kind of thing is really not suitable for talking in front of others, so Faller only has the patience to talk about food, but fortunately, when people are old, they dare not say anything else, and this patience is still there.
On the other side, Alice and Margot talked unexpectedly, after learning that Mijas was the "hidden man" who had lived for 800 years, Margot also understood why he was able to become old friends with Faller and his father, and it was appropriate for something abnormal to happen to this old immortal demon. And this also explains why Emelo III pursued Mijas, after all, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous! She doesn't care a lot about Mijas calling her dad an "old pervert".
Also as a person with a strong sense of justice, Alice and Margot have a lot of common topics, the only difference is that Alice is more practical, she is eager to practice her justice little by little, and Margot has always adhered to the most primitive and ideal justice due to Emero's education, and she hopes that everyone in this world can walk on the path of justice. To put it simply, one is a puritan who pays attention to his own practice, and the other is a missionary who looks forward to universal harmony.
However, this does not prevent the two from getting along, for Margotley, it is indeed rare to meet a person with the same values, although Alice only focuses on her own concept and she does not agree with it, but it is irrelevant, so now Count Bilis is very embarrassed, he is eager to leave a good impression in Margotley's heart, but now it seems that the limelight has been stolen by this little girl, and it is not certain whether he can leave an impression in the princess's heart.
"Tell me, what is it for this time? Don't tell me it's just to relax with the little girl, you should be very busy right now. Mijas stirred up the rest of the fish soup, this part would not taste better until it cooled, and he was also very strange now, it stands to reason that the elemental creatures were about to start declaring war, and Phale should not leave the palace at this time.
"Some time ago, there was a famous dragon slaying adventure team that disappeared, and after investigation, we preliminarily determined that it was an act of revenge by other dragons." Faller doesn't mind being known by Mijas, in his opinion, dragons can run, jump and fly, do you really want to find out if it's a needle in a haystack? It would be nice to play with Princess Margot for a few weeks and return to the palace with the next conclusion that you can't find, as for Her Royal Highness's thoughts? Why do you think Princess Margot hates mages so much? It's not the result of being forcibly punished by a human confinement technique for trick-or-treating every time I was a child!
"Oh? Ah, then you don't have to investigate, this is what I did. Mijas said indifferently, it was going to be an elemental war soon, and he would definitely use his dragon body to participate in this battle, so he didn't mind being known about his dragon identity at all.
"Poof!" Faller directly squirted out a sip of black tea, and at the same time, Princess Margotri, who was not far away, immediately stopped chatting and looked at her in surprise. "Ahem, you did it?" Faller's voice became sharper.
"Of course, who else would it be?" Mijas asked curiously, he didn't know that it was just an adventure party and no knighthood, why did Faller react so much?
"Aren't you the legendary knight, the 'Hidden Hero'? Why kill the hero who struck the dragon? Princess Margot rushed to Mijas's side with a lunge, slapping the table heavily and questioning.
"That's not right, it's clear that there are traces of dragon breath everywhere at the scene, and all other clues have been burned!" At the same time, Phalle spoke in surprise.
"First of all, that is not an evil dragon, Raymond Linze just has a strong sense of territory, and he has not been expelled from the dragon army. So, those scum aren't some kind of 'dragon slaying heroes'. Mijas did not look at Princess Margetli's ugly face, but turned to Faller and said, "Then I am the dragon, is there anything wrong?" Why else do you think I can live for so many years? Do you really think I'm human? ”
"Is it ......" Archmage Phale opened his mouth.
"Well, Transfiguration, the Transfiguration of the Dragons, you know the effect." Mijas confirmed Faller's speculation.
"No wonder you can fight for legends when you're quasi-legendary." It dawned on Phalle.
However, Margotri's attention was not here, and she immediately made a defensive posture, "You! Is it a dragon?! "She hates mages, she hasn't taken a good look at Faller's treasures at all, and the dragon transformation technique is not in the knowledge reserve of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Margot Trilly, you don't need to do this, if he were to deal with you, you wouldn't have a chance to resist." With a wave of his hand, Faller stunned the attendants, his magic ensuring that they wouldn't remember the conversation when they woke up, and a glance at Count Billis, a look that assured him that he was keeping his mouth shut. He can't use magic rashly against nobles, but he has more threatening means.
"Why, as far as I know, dragons aren't such a caring race." As a legendary powerhouse, Faller knows some of the inside information of the dragon clan, of course, it is not entirely accurate, the dragons at the core of the dragon army are quite short-sighted, and those red dragons in the ruby temple are the kind of lords who beat the small ones to the old ones.
"Dragon-slaying arms." Mijas only said four words, but that was enough, unless the Knight Empire wanted to start a full-scale war with the dragons, then this kind of person with dragon slaying weapons would not be protected by the Knight Empire.
"Really?" After all, the dragon slayer has been silent for too long, and Faller has never seen the original.
"Of course, otherwise how do you think they managed to defeat an adult black dragon? Just those three quasi-legends? Or other high-level professionals? Mijas said funny, the dragon race, which can be a legend as soon as an adult, has a very different concept of strength from humans, and the quasi-legend cannot be regarded as normal combat power in the eyes of the dragon race, and this terrifying cognition is incomprehensible to humans.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Princess Margot didn't understand the conversation between Mijas and Faller, but she was able to hold on to her thoughts, "But no matter what, you have to pay for your actions!" She pointed the finger at Mijas.
"Are you serious?" Mijas looked at Her Royal Highness the princess curiously, "I said no, Faller, you don't care if Emero is playing so crazy?" "The heir he values is a short-sighted fellow, and I really don't know what Emelo III thinks.
"It's complicated." Faller didn't know how to explain it, Margot Tri was smart since she was a child, but she was also too smart to learn to tell what books she liked too early, so in fact, her current character could not be attributed to Emelo III.
"I said, little girl, you see, even if I'm not a dragon, you're talking to a legend. It's not a good idea to be too strong at a time like this. Mijas waved his hand, not taking Margot Tri's words seriously.
"Under justice, your evil deeds will be punished! It's not about strength. Margot Tri's words were really about to make Mijas laugh, and Faller on the side directly covered his face, this kind of words, like Emelo III, who was still a prince, thought that he would be attracted by such words when he was young, Faller still can't help but blush.
"Alice!" Mijas screamed, and Alice stood between Mijas and Margette.
"Are you going to oppose me too? New friends! Margot asked solemnly.
"He's my teacher!" Alice shook her head and took her position.
