For the boy who can only visit the cheap bakery called "copper coin bread" for a year, buy their hard and rough bread with almost no eggs and butter, but the large one that costs only 1 small copper coin, and then buy some necessary ingredients and condiments and go back to the hut in the monster forest to cook and fill his stomach, wolf meat is still meat no matter how rough and jerky, dry and fishy.

For a teenager who can count the number of times he eats meat in a year with a single slap, this ready-made fresh wolf meat is quite tempting. Especially when he regained consciousness and barely relied on berries and plant tubers to satisfy his hunger, the temptation of the meat was simply magnified countless times.

"Is it really edible to eat wolf meat?!"

Everyone was shaken by the young man's excited roar, after all, everyone generally believed that the truth was in the hands of a few, and that few were naturally the authorities.

"That's... In fact, if wolf meat can be cooked reasonably, it is also... It's also edible~~"

The heavily armored knight, who was dragging several toothed wolf tails to gather the corpses, seemed to be touched by the memories of the past as he walked by, and couldn't help but whisper.

"Can you eat it?!"

Knowing that this person's tolerance for food had broken through the limit of patience of those present, everyone looked at the young man with more hesitation and fear.

"Ahem, I don't think there's any need to waste time here. If these toothed wolf corpses are not disposed of in time, the nearby monsters will converge, and the road will not be clear. It's better to incinerate it directly. ”

Rem secretly gave the heavily armored knight a fierce look, then turned to the boy with a smile on her face and made an inviting gesture.

"Master Saint, this is not far from the Territory of Hasblanc City, you let us do our best to be a landlord. Oh, there are some delicate pastries, hot tea, and some humble hot food ready in the car~"

In addition to being polite and inviting, Rem deliberately lowered her voice when she approached the teenager, mentioning something that seemed casual but very lethal.

"Delicate pastries, hot tea, and some humble hot food... Yes! ——」

Nothing could be more tempting than this, so that the stomach and intestines, which were involved in the association, once again protested violently, and the body instinctively obeyed the desire.

"Isn't the city of Vaduzkos ahead?"

Without resisting Reem's sleek hand, the boy muttered his question in a low voice when he was almost a little dazed as he was led in the direction of the carriage.

"Vaduzkos City?! It's called that, but it fell more than 200 years ago. The current city of Hasblanc was rebuilt from the ruins of the original site. It is the direct domain of our duke. ”

"Then the kingdom of Van and Lestein should not exist and does not exist, right?!"

"It's long gone. More than 200 years ago, the whole territory fell, and the remaining royal families and inhabitants fled to other countries. Subsequently, according to the "Continental Convention" jointly signed by various ethnic groups, the principle that whoever recovers the territory will be handed over to the jurisdiction, and almost the entire territory of the Vatican Lestein Kingdom has become the territory of the Kingdom of Tasmailia, and the territory given by the ancestors because of their military exploits is roughly two-thirds of the original Vatican Lestein Kingdom. ”

Elizabeth peeked at the young man's blank and sad expression, and suddenly her heart chuckled, and her voice was tentative: "Could the Holy Master be the remnant of the original Vatican and Lestein Kingdom?!" ~~”

"Huh~, that... I just live in seclusion with my master, paying taxes but not a citizen. ”

"How so?!"

Elizabeth frowned almost subconsciously, because in her understanding, it was their respective obligations that maintained the relationship between the lord and the lord. The lords paid taxes and took on labor, and the lords provided security.

"Speaking of this kingdom of Van Rystein, it is actually a small country sandwiched between a forest of monsters and precipitous mountains. Although it is necessary to beware of the monster forests of the monsters, the mountains surrounding the land form a natural fortress and provide abundant mineral resources. Despite the small size of the country, there was little room for exploitation, but the abundance of goods attracted the last sons of the lower nobles who wanted to break new ground in the surrounding countries, the second and third men of the poor villages who could not make a living, the skilled adventurers, and the merchants who took them as customers. So there began to be a saying on the continent - 'If you don't have money to eat, go to the kingdom of Van Lesden'. ”

Reem's profound knowledge made Elizabeth and the others untaught, and it also made the boy show a look of concern. For this reason, she can only continue to introduce in depth again.

It is precisely because of this that the kingdom of Van Rystein is gradually divided into the citizens of the kingdom who covet peace within the city walls and the adventurers who fight the monsters in the monster forest. Although they are called adventurers, they are basically homeless, people who have no reliable backing. Of course, many of them died while they were still struggling for the day's living expenses, and some of them amassed a lot of wealth in their own generation by virtue of their own strength. The latter is talked about, while the former is forgotten by the world. It's this group of people who pay taxes but don't have citizenship, uh~~"

Realize that the key element of the teenager's answer before is precisely himself.... Rem covered her mouth almost instantly, and secretly observed the other party's expression worriedly.

"Nothing, that's it. That one... It's like..."

The young man didn't care, after all, this was the case, and as soon as he stepped into the carriage, he smelled the aroma of all kinds of food wafting from the inside, and his stomach protested again.

"In that case, please invite the Holy Master to get in the car, I think you will be satisfied with the meal at the tea party."

"It's... This...."

Elizabeth's confident invitation made the boy hesitate, because from the open door he could see that the decoration in the carriage was not something that he could get involved in such a strange outfit.

"Holy Master, don't worry." Elizabeth seemed to understand the comfort in the young man's heart, and at the same time raised her slender hand and clapped it gently.

"Holy Master, this is an old change of clothes. It was specially ordered by the tailor before leaving the royal capital, and the brand new has not been worn. Among the others, I am fortunate to be close to the Holy Master in height, and I hope you will not dislike it. ”

"It's... How does this make ~"

Facing the old man in the housekeeper costume who walked up to him and held a set of exquisite new clothes and shoes in both hands, the young man looked a little at a loss. After all, according to the cognition of the traversal soul that controls the current body, it is a etiquette norm that the younger generation must follow if the elders dare not resign, and that is a kind of respect.

"Master Saint, don't shirk it, the maid has already set up a curtain in the horse workshop over there, and I hope to accommodate the poor conditions."

Rem stepped forward, took the young man's hand, stuffed the housekeeper's clothes, and the old man's clothes into the young man's arms, bowed, blinked, took Elizabeth and Aurelia's hands, turned and got into the carriage.

"Hurry up, or we'll eat up the refreshments and hot food!" Reem, who turned back and stuck out her head, reminded someone with a wicked smile.

"It's like going back to everyday life, it's really nostalgic.... It's really like a girl from Yuko-chan~~"

The young man smiled dumbly and walked to the curtain with the old man in the housekeeper's attire.

More than ten minutes later, the convoy that had been incinerated and buried the toothed wolves was on the road again.

In the eye-popping carriage, the boy began to taste the refreshments in a restrained manner, but under the diligent attack of several girls, the final eating appearance still succumbed to primitive desires and became gobbled up.

"The loaf of bread has ham and vegetables in it, a bit like a sandwich. It's a pity that there is no mayonnaise or cheese, huh.... What is this mayonnaise or cheese?!"

In the minds of the eating teenagers, two very different perceptions diverge with each other.

That's it, to Vaduzkos .. Oh, the right part of the road that should be called Haas Brown City has become a state of riding in the same carriage with the duke and concubine.

Although the boy wanted to sit on the car platform several times, after all, staying in the same car with a group of girls, both sides would be much more restrained, and it could also turn into a scandal that was unfavorable to the girls, and he also wanted to confirm the changes outside after the monster ramped away.

However, all this was completely shattered by the enthusiasm of several girls, and then he succumbed to his desires, and he couldn't resist the temptation of hot food. In particular, the herb "Demoiselle Dress" that he changed out of himself was not hung outside other carriages, but was taken directly into the carriage. It's hard to refuse, trust, respect and enthusiasm.

"Master Saint, this is the most famous "This Flower Pavilion" in the royal capital, and the smoked sausage made of iron-skinned brute cow. Eat while it's hot. This is what I baked~"

"It's a honey pie, one of my favorite refreshments. What does the Holy Master think?! ”

"That's... That one.. This is my thank you to the Holy Master~~"

"Hmm.. Hmm..."

Well, the boy was like a pet fed by the maidens, his mouth was stuffed with all kinds of food, and there were forks and spoons carrying food waiting in line at his lips, and not even the slightest word of objection could make a sound from his clogged throat.

The feeling of being enveloped, the warmth of the girls who naturally shortened the distance, the care and the smiles of the girls, brought a touch of warmth to the boy's heart that was cool in the stone basement, and the anxiety and panic about the existence of this unfamiliar and rather strange world gradually faded, and finally he had the real feeling that he had survived the rout of the monster forest.

Horse-drawn carriages drove on the road. It's not fast, but it's pretty smooth. It's not at all like I remember before, riding a merchant's freight wagon, which clattered and shook quite badly from beginning to end. It was the first time the teenager had ridden in a carriage, and the bumps made him think that if he had ridden for a long time, his butt would be very painful. Walking slowly is already shaking like this, how serious it would be if the speed was increased. I'll probably turn my eyes around and fall down the gangway.

It was precisely because of this that he would rather rely on his legs than ride the carriage along the way. In addition to the relationship of money, the main thing is that the shadow was left before.

But this experience turned his perception upside down, and of course there was another voice in his head that scoffed at it.

It's getting closer and closer to the city, and of course it's not likely that monsters will appear in such a close place, and it's still very bright, so it's no problem for the whole convoy to move slowly like this. Even the knights began to drink water, eat or talk in low voices on their horses.

"Then again, where does the Holy Master usually live? Where are you going? Is there anything we need to do our part? ”

"That's... I've always lived in the forest, but I've been a little short of supplies lately, so I can't continue to ......."

For the teenagers who were asked about the birth of Rem, in addition to being a little incoherent, it was even more necessary to divert the curiosity of these girls.

"That.. Herbs gradually decrease their potency over time. You see that I am also full, and I don't know what potions you need, and I want to refine as many bottles as possible as a gift in return. ”

"Really?!"

"Great, then I'll bother the Holy Master. In short, we all need the potions that these herbs can be refined. Of course, we will also pay the corresponding reward. ”

"Rem! What a rude you are! How can you talk to the Holy Master like this?! In fact, if you have time, there are still many precious medicinal herbs, magic stones, magic crystals, and magic cores in the secret vault of our territory, and you are welcome to take them at any time. ”

Well, one is more savvy than the other.

Just over an hour passed

In the distance, the silhouette of the city of Hasbrown, built on the ruins of the former city of Vaduzkos, begins to appear.

Knock knock! ——

There was a slight rattle from the partition between the carriage and the driver's platform

"What's the matter?!"

Fearing that the boy would be disturbed, Rem quickly got up and leaned close to a copper microphone on the partition.

"Sorry to interrupt. Haas Brown City has arrived, and we are about to pass through the outpost. And it seems that the other party is going to inform the consul to come to greet the eldest lady. ”

"Got it." Rem couldn't help frowning, and after looking back, she couldn't help muttering: "People nowadays really don't have any eyesight, and they don't know how to slow down the car when they arrive so soon~~"

"............," the coachman looked confused.

"That's... Now that it's here, I'll say goodbye. The young man who had finally finished refining a bottle of potion stopped his hand and removed the magic structure of the refining space in a flash.

"Lord Saint Master shouldn't have a foothold in Haas Brown City yet, so why don't you come to our mansion?!"

"What Rem said is very true, I also hope that the Holy Master will come to the cold house, so that the little girl will also have the opportunity to enjoy the friendship of the landlord."

"That.. That one... It's really inconvenient, I still have some personal things to do~"

If it were the owner of this body before, he would definitely not be able to refuse such a sweet invitation, but now it is another soul who dominates the body, not only considering that if he appears with the duke's daughter in public, there will be a scandal, but also considering that he may be labeled as a duke's palace, and he will not be so free in the future.

Of course, that's not the main thing......................
