To be reasonable, Octavil's cooking skills aren't very good, at least when it comes to taking care of ingredients. Although the taste is passable, Nangong Rong, who can eat a mouthful of hair at every turn, looked at the wild duck that was not cleaned at all in his hand, and his heart was actually broken, after all, those hairs were burnt. Obviously, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess may not be able to do anything if she just cooks, but real cooking also includes taking care of the ingredients, and the girl must have no clue about this.

Because when I practiced cooking in the palace, the ingredients were 100% already taken care of, so I didn't need the girl to do it herself.

As for Nakiris, who was helping Octavir on the side, please ignore it automatically.

In short, Nangong Rong felt both happy and painful, and after a long time of hunger, he was finally able to fill his stomach, but he was still covered with burnt bird feathers, and he couldn't help but burst into tears while eating. So in the process, the boy naturally forgot the fact that this was the first time that a girl cooked for him, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Well, I know what's going on, it's too much time to get rid of these little hairs. Octavier, who was cooking the barbecue, originally planned to ask Nangong Rong how it tasted, but when Nakiris stuffed half of the game in her own hand into the eldest princess's mouth to share with her, the girl decisively changed her mind, "Ahahaha, although it affects the taste, the problem is not very serious after all, big husband big husband." ”

The boy didn't say anything, even if he thought that if he made the barbecue himself, although it might not taste better than Octavir's, at least he wouldn't eat a mouth full of hair, and he calmly chose to remain silent. The young man didn't know the reason for this, it was just his intuition that he was warning himself that if he seriously expressed his true opinion on the cuisine of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, he would definitely be splattered with blood on the spot.

However, the more Nangong Rong didn't say anything, silently holding half a wild duck and gnawing there, the more bottomless Octavier's heart became, and finally he couldn't help but go crazy: "You said something, hey!"

"It tastes good?" the young man decisively tilted his head and deliberately sold cuteness, and the effect with his calm expression similar to Sanwu was amazing.

It's a pity that the eldest princess didn't buy it: "Why is it a question sentence?"

"It tastes very good!" Nangong Rong immediately put his head in the right position, straightened his face, and said seriously, while nodding his head slightly, looking like he was worried about something.

“......”

On weekdays, the people around him either behaved respectfully or were in all kinds of intrigues, Octavier, who had ever seen such a shameless behavior, and the whole person was suddenly confused, and the stunned girl was stunned for a long time, and she couldn't say a word.

Only Nakiris, who was counting with his fingers next to him: "Three, two, one, okay, the eldest princess has been sunk!"

Nangong Rong did not hesitate to slam a knife on the top of the snake girl Lori's head - sink your sister, if you want to sink, you have to sink first.

Octavier, who was awakened by someone's nonsense, sat up straight, clenched her fist at her lips, and coughed softly and gracefully: "What, I'm sorry to waste the ingredients you managed to get back, I'm really sorry." I used to practice cooking with the ingredients taken care of by the servants in advance, so I ......"

Seeing that the girl said this, Nangong Rong naturally chose to forgive her, and immediately raised his hand and waved it: "It's okay, I can understand." Although there are some minor flaws, it is still the hand of Your Highness the Eldest Princess, and it is enough for me to proudly and proudly shout lines like "Lao Tzu is a man who has tasted the dishes made by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess" when I argue with my friends in the future. ”

After a moment of silence, Octavier looked surprised and puzzled: "Ahhhhh ”

The young man, who was still clenching his fist in his chest in the last second, was burning with blood burning and rising at any time, and when he heard this, he immediately collapsed like a deflated ball at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to Nakiris's curious poking his finger around him: "I'm really sorry that I can't find friends for a whole year." ”

Although the boy's behavior was funny, the eldest princess couldn't laugh at all, because she knew very well what the reason for the other party not being able to find a friend was. Nangong Rong is actually a fairly simple person, if you treat him well, he will naturally return the kindness, if you ignore him, he will naturally not take the initiative to stick a cold ass with a hot face, if it is a person who despises and despises him, although he will not deliberately retaliate back, don't expect to get help from the teenager at a critical moment - Buist, who always likes to trouble Nangong Rong, died like this - so as long as he talks and contacts with the teenager as an equal, this guy is actually very easy to get along with.

But the problem is that there are not many people in the academy who can do this. Even Octavir herself has never really put Nangong Rong on an equal footing with herself, and the reason why she behaves differently from those nobles with eyes on the top of her head is simply that girls are better at [being close to the people], after all, it is one of the compulsory courses of the royal family.

And what's even more troublesome is that Octavier can feel that Nangong Rong can actually see that he is close to the people, but the boy didn't refuse. Of course, this probably has something to do with the fact that the eldest princess is a cute girl, but the boy just didn't refuse the girl's deliberate closeness to the people so that she saved face, and the rest was nothing.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't care much about this, Nangong Rong's spell is indeed very special, but no matter how special he is, he can't personally step forward to kill the enemy, he needs someone to cooperate with the boy; In other words, Nangong Rong is not an existence worth spending a lot of money to buy, and the girl feels that it is enough to deliberately adopt a pro-people attitude in order to make the other party notice her, and there is no need to really get along with the teenager with her heart.

So, just keep the status quo.

"It's really a lonely year, is it really okay for you to do this?" Nakiris raised his hand next to him and touched Nangong Rong's head and sighed, "Young man, it doesn't matter if you don't have friends, just have a girlfriend." How about finding a pure peasant girl in the town in front of you, Miss Ben, who is a master of love, can be merciful and dedicated to you to give advice, and keep it in hand!"

Although Octavir wanted to remind the snake girl Lori that the young man had failed to confess not long ago, the latter's subtle self-proclaimed name made the eldest princess decisively change the subject: "Wait a minute, Nakiris, what did you just say, when did you become a master of love?"

Nangong Rong angrily slapped away the little hand on the top of his head and said, "Just yesterday, she officially changed jobs after reading a love novel. ”

The novel was a relic of a manipulator, borrowed from the academy library and brought directly to the battlefield before he had time to return it, and as a result, the person disappeared under fire, but the book was preserved intact. With his cute appearance, Nakiris managed to get the novel from the officer in charge of handling the relics, and then ...... This is how the master of love was born.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess decided that it would be better not to answer casually.

"Don't look down on people, Miss Ben is definitely a top trick, and it will be a matter of course for you. Or are you not really interested in girls, teenager? I can't do anything about this for the time being, so let's talk about it when we have the opportunity to read books related to philosophy. ”

As a shovel officer, Nangong Rong felt that it was necessary to cultivate the correct values of pets, so he did not hesitate to reach out and press it Nakiris's little head, gritting his teeth viciously and saying: "Bridge bean sack, forget about love novels, where did you hear that philosophy book!?"

Not to be outdone, Nakiris, who was dancing at Nangong Rong, immediately replied loudly: "Of course, I know it through that love novel, because there are several girl characters in it who are very interested in the philosophy between boys. ”

The boy suddenly began to wonder if the snake girl Lori was reading a normal love novel.

——————————————————I'm a dividing line——————————————————

After eliminating a few wild animals that had bitten into a mouthful of hair, Nangong Rong finally quieted down his Five Organs Temple. At this time, the town called Mirgin could already be seen, and the vanguard of the army had entered the town directly and was inspecting it.

The possibility of the Alliance setting up an ambush in the town is very small, but it is not completely impossible, and it is necessary to check it beforehand. After all, the Confederate forces that had penetrated into this area were helped by the local anti-Empire organization, and who knows if they would disguise themselves as caravans passing through the town and find an opportunity to do strange things?

"We're here, get off. Octavir stood up after the truck had stopped on the road and said, "The enemy who intends to use the river to make trouble has failed, but they will certainly not stand idly by watching the troops enter the town to rest, and most likely will jump out again to find trouble." When the troops are resting, we need to be vigilant the most, so come up with me for a few laps. ”

Nangong Rong also knew that if there was really any situation in the town, the army would solve it by itself, and the vigilance in the sky was more important in comparison, so he followed directly behind Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. It's just that the boy is very skeptical that those people in the alliance will really choose to take the initiative to die to attack a town defended by the army, even if it is harassment and warfare, it depends on the situation?

"No problem, Your Highness. It's just that the enemy will really come, it's almost like sending them to death. ”

Octavier wasn't surprised by the boy's question, and in fact the girl herself didn't think the Alliance would attack, but the vigilance patrol that should be done was still necessary. There is no way, who let the old duke's troops be in the light while the enemy hides in the shadows?

"It's the enemy's business that can't get over, and we still have things to do to be done. ”

So Nangong Rong shrugged decisively, and after the flying dragon who followed the convoy all the way picked up Octavier, Nakiris's gigantic immediately followed.

The sky is still beautiful blue, the fields, woods, and rivers can be seen clearly, if it weren't for the need to be vigilant, God knows if it's okay or not, the special forces of the alliance suddenly emerged from some strange and hidden place, Nangong Rong felt that it was actually quite good to stay in the sky and watch the scenery.

Then the boy really wandered around the sky until dark, and succeeded in making him feel completely bored.

After the sun went down, the visibility was reduced to a sad level, and the air alert was naturally no longer appropriate, Octavier quickly landed with Nangong Rong, and went directly to the Duke of Toronso without even bothering to eat dinner.

The old man had placed his temporary headquarters in the home of an ordinary fruit grower, and the more comfortable inn had been used to house the wounded soldiers—that wasn't the point, for when the eldest princess found the Duke, he was concentrating on a plate of roasted sausages wrapped in noodles on the table in front of him.

"Oh, Your Highness, you're here, let's have a meal together, right?" the old man stopped the knife and fork in his hand and nodded to the young girl who was puffing out his cheeks to express his dissatisfaction, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the ingredients are all purchased from the head of the household, and they are cooked by my best cooks, and they are definitely better than the game with burnt feathers?"

Nangong Ronghao squirted out in a gulp, although he forcibly held back, but Nakiris, who was beside him, had already rolled to the ground and couldn't help it.

Octavier turned around and glared at the snake girl Lori: "What's crazy, you are also responsible for not dealing with the hair!" (Looking at the old man again) Duke Toronso, it shouldn't take so long for the troops to rest and resettle the wounded, what are you doing in an afternoon?"

The old duke picked up the goblet near the plate, took a sip of the wine inside, and replied indifferently, "Wait for someone." ”

"Wait for someone?"

"Well, Your Highness, you also know that some of the early-maturing grains can be harvested this season, so there is a lot of grain stored in the town. Unfortunately, the grain was ordered by a passing caravan the other day, and they said that they would come to pick it up today or tomorrow, so I decided to stay and see who those guys were, while buying food from the townspeople. ”

Obviously, the purchase that the old man is talking about here must be close to the purchase of requisition, although the army will pay the peasants a fair price, but the peasants do not have any right to refuse to sell, as for the caravan?

After a moment of silence, Octavir seemed to react as well: "There is still some time before the autumn harvest, and the price of grain at this moment is still generally high, so it is not a good time to buy grain on a large scale. But the other party still decided to buy, or a large number of acquisitions, there is indeed a problem here. ”

Nangong Rong couldn't help but be confused: "What's the problem?"

"At the moment, it is expensive to buy food and it is not easy to sell, so it is very likely to be eaten. So, what do you think will be the existence of so much food that will be consumed near the town in the near future?"
