48. Rest time

Since crossing the crowd and venturing deep into the underground abandoned caverns to rescue the trapped members of the Rog Knights two months ago, they have been treated like heroes in the Rog camp, and have further won the approval of the members of the Rog Knights.

Moreover, Lord Neo Noalok, the leader of the trapped members, is a distant cousin of Baron Kasha, the leader of the Rogge Knights, and his great admiration for the strength of the Travelers in front of Kasha has made Kasha pay more and more attention to the Travelers. In order to thank everyone for their help to the Rog Knights, and also to make more allies for his family, Kasha naturally gave a lot of preferential treatment and convenience to the Travelers.

Instead of going to the camp's quest release to pick up some single, tedious and low-profit tasks as they used to, the Travelers will directly participate in the task of cleaning up the monsters in the original human villages and towns in Harudale County along with the main force of the Rog Knights. And not to mention the fact that you can get a lot of money for each mission, you can also get a share of the distribution of the loot after the war. It's much better than just performing some troublesome and unprofitable tasks such as intelligence detection, exterminating monsters, and temporary guards. Although there is a certain danger in fighting a large number of monsters, for the current traversers, the actual threat posed to them by such a danger is actually very limited.

Not only that, but under Kasha's arrangement, the living environment of everyone in Rog's camp has also been greatly improved. Now they live in a few large wooden houses instead of simple felt tents. Although the space is not much larger than the original tent, the comfort is much better. There are also relatively separate bathrooms and kitchens for them to use.

At this time, everyone was sitting on both sides of the long table in a large room in their usual casual clothes, chatting with great interest, and the aroma of food came from time to time in the next room, which made people appetize.

The main door was pushed open, and Xue Xiaojing, Zheng Kaidong, and Bai Yang entered the house, and after saying hello to everyone present, they each found a place to sit down. All three of them were also dressed in cotton casual clothes, slippers with wooden backgrounds on their feet, a little water beads on their hair, and their faces showed a flush from the warmth, obviously as if they had just finished bathing.

"You're here." When Sun Xiaoyu saw the three girls coming, she got up and brought them a cup of warm juice. "Here, freshly squeezed juice."

"Thank you." Xue Xiaojing took the juice and thanked her softly.

"You're welcome." Sun Xiaoyu responded, and at the same time looked at the door and asked, "Huh?" Xiao Yang (referring to Yang Zhao, because he has the same surname as Yang Qianyu, his companions call each other nicknames 'Xiao Yang' or 'Ah Zhao' when they call each other nicknames on weekdays, and call Yang Qianyu 'Old Yang', 'Brother Yang' or 'Qianyu') hasn't come yet? ”

"Let's occupy the bathroom first, Ah Zhao naturally can only wait for us to wash all of them before we can use the bathroom-hey......" Poplar took off his slippers, sat on the stool with his legs folded, stretched his waist and hugged his arms behind his head, and staggered on the chair and said, "Woo...... It's so comfortable after taking a shower......"

"Ah, really. There's nothing more refreshing than taking a hot shower after a busy day. Zheng Kaidong said approvingly after straightening his hair.

Not long after the three girls entered the house, the main door was pushed open again, and Yang Zhao, who had a helpless expression, shook in, pulled out a chair and sat down at random.

"Ah Zhao is here. Hey? How did you wash so fast? After seeing Yang Zhao enter the house and sit down, Liu Chang also handed him a glass of juice and asked.

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't go to the shower at all, and they used up all the hot water when they washed, and they didn't leave me a drop at all. I had to boil the water again and wait—wow......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zhao glanced at the cold light on the side, and hurriedly lowered his head alertly, only to hear the sound of 'whoosh-', and a fork flew past Yang Zhao's scalp and nailed it to the wooden wall behind Yang Zhao.

"Topol, what are you doing?!" Liu Chang immediately discovered the culprit who attacked Yang Zhao, and immediately yelled at Bai Yang. "This kind of mess is going to kill people!"

"Cut-who asked him to call me 'Xiaobai', this is punishment." I saw Poplar playing with a dinner knife in one hand, with a relieved expression on his face. "What's more, it's just to scare him, and I won't really hurt him."

"What if you hurt Ah Zhao?" Liu Chang complained while pulling Yang Zhao up to check if he was injured, and Yang Zhao, who was frightened, waved his hand to signal that he was okay before relieving himself. "If Ah Zhao has any mistakes, see how I clean you up......"

"Oh? You seem to care about him very much......" Bai Yang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Liu Chang with a smile. "I haven't done anything to him yet, you're in a hurry...... Don't...... You two ......"

"Poor mouth!" Liu Changxiao, who realized that he had lost his temper, suddenly turned red, and rushed to Baiyang to cover her mouth.

"Oh, don't you make a fool of yourself......" Bai Yang saw Liu Chang's embarrassed and angry look on his face, and continued to tease while dodging.

"You still say! See if I don't tear that poor mouth of yours off! The embarrassed Liu Chang pounced on the poplar with his teeth and claws, with a desperate posture.

In this way, the two women blocked one around and the other began to chase and fight, and some of the people stepped forward to dissuade them with anger and fun, and some helplessly watched from the wall, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more lively.

"Yo-everyone!"

While everyone was frolicking, there was a greeting from the side door. I saw Yang Qianyu standing at the door in the costume of a chef and watching everyone. "Did I miss something?"

"No, you've come just in time." Li Xiang smiled and spread his hands. "How about finding a way to put the girls to rest?"

"Haha, there's just a way." Yang Qianyu stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this, and then raised his voice: "Everyone! Dinner is ready! Today I was able to make my own crunchy cream cookies and sweet lemon pie! Quantities are limited! It's too late! ”

"Wow! Brother Qianyu cooks it himself! Yang Lixue, who watched Liu Chang and Bai Yang fight and fanned the flames, immediately cheered and returned to her seat when she heard that Yang Qianyu had personally cooked and made snacks. The rest of the people immediately found their seats and sat down to wait for the meal to begin.

Yang Qianyu shook his head and chuckled when he saw that everyone was quiet, and then retreated to the kitchen. In a few moments, several people dressed as servants entered the room with large trays and shuttled around the long table like water. As they moved, the long table was filled with all kinds of vegetable and fruit salads, bacon and sausages, soup porridge paste, and cream biscuits and lemon pies baked by Yang Qianyu himself.

Of course, Yang Qianyu was joking when he said that he didn't have to eat when he was late. Look at the three large plates of large lemon pie with a golden sheen and the delicate little biscuits that surround the surroundings like the stars holding the moon, the amount and quantity are enough to make everyone's stomachs roll round when they eat.

After Yang Qianyu also sat down, he nodded slightly at Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also nodded in response and said to everyone: "What are you waiting for?" Let's get started – enjoy our rare leisure. ”

After everyone cheered, Qi Qi began to wave knives and forks to meet the table full of food.

The table was filled with laughter.

"This afternoon, I got some information." Yang Qianyu whispered to Li Xiang while cutting the meat chops on his plate, "Now there are less than five months left before the deadline for the mission that Baron Cassa undertook to recover Harudale County. Kashya decided to embark on an adventure, exhausting all the Knights of Rog's camp, supplemented by a large team of mercenaries, with the goal of clearing out the largest demonic colony entrenched in the county lord city of Harudal. ”

"Really?" Li Xiang's action of raising a glass and drinking suddenly froze when he heard this. "No wonder Luna Maria came to me today and said that we had better stock up on more supplies recently, it turned out to be for the next operation."

"But the situation in Harudal City is not optimistic." Fu Bin, who was on the side, also leaned over after hearing the conversation between the two. "According to the mercenaries who ventured to Harudel to reconnoitre, the number of demons entrenched there, though not more than a hundred, enslaved a large number of humanoid races - mainly kobolds and goblins, but also a few porcupines and gnolls. In addition, it is also driven by a large number of undead - all of them were killed when the city was broken, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were demonized by the chaotic aura - and the existence of elite undead such as ghouls cannot be ruled out. It is conceivable that it is difficult for ordinary demons to rule over humanoid races and undead of this scale, and there must be demons of the upper caste. It's not a good battle. ”

"Either way, Kashya has decided to go through this fight." Yang Qianyu shook her head in distress and said, "She doesn't have much way to retreat." As long as she can win this battle and recapture Harudel City, then the task she undertook will naturally be completed. We don't know what kind of reward she will receive from the kingdom, but judging by the fact that Kasha insisted on undertaking such a task despite her family's poor situation, the value of the reward must be very high for her. ”

"So what do we do?" Li Xiang asked, "Do you want to accompany Kasha to make a desperate bet?" ”

"As for our position-" After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Qianyu said, "We have not met other indigenous forces other than Kasha and her forces that we have only been in contact with so far, let alone are familiar with and trust each other. So whether to support or not to support the Leopold family, the only one we can call 'friends' today. We really don't have a lot of options......"
