That evening, Mrs. Verry asked the butler to bring a cart of wine to the caravan.

The old lady's mind is very simple, she only hopes that everyone will read the wine well, and usually don't bully her son.

Although it was usually Tonyo who was bullying people, Lady Verry didn't know it.

A bonfire was lit in the open space where the village children had practiced swords, while Charles's distant cousin, Thomas Cromwell, acted as a human stereo, playing the six-stringed piano and singing ballads in praise of young love.

Unmarried girls of seventeen or eighteen years old in the village have changed into clean clothes, washed their faces, and are dancing around the campfire with garlands of flowers on their heads (since there are no flowers in this season, they are replaced by various leaves and colored silk threads).

Charles doesn't understand what to dance, he only knows that as long as you can write pi in the air with your head, and at the same time write "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" with your left hand, "The Story of Yueyang Tower" with your right hand, "Burrow Ming" with your left foot, and "Teacher Table" with your right foot, then you are the most beautiful cub in the dance field.

The dance of the maidens made many of the young male humanoid animals in the caravan drool as they wondered which one they would carry into the woods.

For the common girls of this era, it is a good place to become the lover of a well-paid businessman.

It's just that the two male elves who are most favored by the girls on the scene are Horatio and George, but the two who already have families are not interested in the village girls, and they are muttering in elven language there, guessing the strength of the new cooks in the caravan.

At the beginning of the bonfire, Elizabeth introduced the new cook, Artoria Poklonskaya, to the caravan.

The male humanoid animals immediately howled.

It wasn't that there were no women in the caravan before, but the vast majority of women were elves, and this group of guys didn't dare to mess with them, and the other human woman was a middle-aged shield warrior with a height of five and a half feet and a waist circumference of five and a half feet in the escort team, and no one would get into her tent at night unless she wanted to take two or three days of sick leave. Other than that, the women in the caravan were all four-legged.

Now there is a young and beautiful young lady in the caravan...... Many people even have the name of their grandson in mind.

But when Elizabeth mentions that the cook is also Charles' knight, the wolf howls turn into wails.

When forging the Holy Land, someone was poisoned because he was gossiping about Charles's little lover behind his back, and that person coughed and coughed so much that his stomach cramped in the next few days, so who would dare to provoke Charles's people. Not to mention that there are some changes in Charles's identity now.

Although the cook left after showing her face, the discussion about her was still going on on on a small scale, because the masters of the escort team felt that the cook was very strong.

No, before the village girls finished their dance, the cook came back with a bear with gray fur.

₍₋ˤ₋₎ᵨ⌒(ₓ(エ)ₓ)︴

The bear, which weighed more than 700 kilograms, was thrown to the ground by her, causing the ground to tremble.

"It's ...... Rock bear?" Soon someone recognized the bear species in the firelight.

"Found over there, it's running towards the village. Artoria pointed to the meadow and spoke to the housekeeper of the manor.

"It may have been attracted by the smell of blood when the pigs were killed in the afternoon. Algernon, the guardian of the village, was a little afraid, if the rock bear ran into the village, even if he could take it with the help of the rest of the village, he would definitely have some wounds on his body.

Horatio turned his head and whispered to George, "Look at the wound." ”

George nodded slightly, "The upper jaw, a sword, straight to the brain." Can you?"

"Nonsense. Horatio was dissatisfied that he was looked down upon by his peers, the two have been partners for so many years, and they don't know what level the other party is.

"The lower limit of skill, agility, and strength is very high, and the overall strength is probably the best among other humans. George was talking about the people in the caravan, "Where did you say Charles found such a master?"

"This kid's woman is very good, he is definitely going to our hometown, and he will be optimistic about your daughter when the time comes. Horatio quipped.

"My daughter is still young, in her nineties. George smiled, "It's your little sister, you have to worry, she's two hundred and five this year, right?"

"Hehe," Horatio sneered, "I have the ability to wait until she is an adult." ”

George said "hehe" twice, "Don't forget, humans have the magic to delay the aging of the body, although it has been lost, but maybe one day it will appear again." ”

At the same time, Artoria and the butler negotiated the issue of the rock bear.

This land belongs to Lady Verry, so everything on the land also belongs to Lady Verry, including animals and monsters.

Now the alien Artoria has killed the demonic beasts on the land without the authorization of the owner of this place, and this matter must be communicated with the master's side.

Although this rock bear is precious, it can use magic to make the fur on its skin hard like a rock, just like wearing fish scale armor, which greatly increases its defense and makes it difficult to catch. And when it's not using magic, its fur is unusually soft.

But who is Lady Verry, and will she be missing a bear?

Therefore, the butler characterized the bear as the prey that Charles had obtained by hunting with the knight on the first day of their visit, on the grounds that Mrs. Verry had allowed Charles to go out hunting and play.

As a result, after such a circle, the bear became Charles's.

In the end, Charles' decision...... Naturally, this bear was skinned and eaten. The bearskins were given to Lady Verry, after all, it takes time to tann the hides, and Charles can't wait here, so it's better to do it as a favor.

The scene of Artoria carrying the bear towards the village was seen by many villagers, including Lancelot and Gnavel.

When Charles and the others return to Lancelot's house in the evening, they find that their prestige here has changed from "respect" to "fear".

Lancelot bent down and respectfully held a basket and handed it to Charles, "Sir, this is what the butler brought to you." ”

Charles shook his head helplessly, took the basket and opened the lid to find that it was a piece of honey cake inside.

So he walked up to Gnavelle and asked, "Would you like to eat?"

Looking at the fragrant cake, Gnavier's first expression was "think", but in the next moment, she suddenly thought of something, and her whole body began to tremble.

Lancelot's eyes were about to burst into flames, ready to rush up and hit someone.

Charles smiled, placed the basket by the fire, then took the wooden sword standing by the wall and threw it to Lancelot, saying, "If you can hit me later, I'll give the cake to your sister." ”

Fifteen minutes later, Gnevel divided the cake into two pieces, then handed the larger one to Lancelot. Tired and panting, Lancelot shook his head with a smile, reached for the smaller piece in his sister's hand, and took a bite.

As soon as Halkara, who had planned to deliver medicine to Lancelot, who had just broken his skin, opened the door, he was smoked away by the smell of dog food.

When she returned to the place where Lancelot and Charles had competed just now, she found Artoria sitting on the grass and asked Charles, who was lying on the ground, "Why were you deliberately hit just now?"

"Leg cramps. Charles said with a smile in his eyes.

Artoria shook her head, not believing Charles's excuses. Charles had cramps when he practiced before, but he survived.

"You don't want to take him as a disciple, do you?" asked Artoria, "just like the emerald flower." ”

"Nope. Charles shook his head, "I felt like I should help him." He has perseverance and the ability to endure hardships, which is an essential ingredient for success. And there is a crazy energy in his bones, which will be reflected when it comes to his sister. I think if he gets a chance, he will achieve something in the future. ”

At this time, Halkala sat on the other side of Charles, and she asked, "Aren't you the beautiful sister you like?"

Charles said angrily: "How can his sister be as beautiful as you?"

"Hehe...... "Halcara poked Charles' mask with a smile, "Sister, I put my career first before I was five hundred years old, and I won't talk about emotional matters during this period." ”

Charles finally got a glimpse of the horrific side of the longevity race.
