Chapter 17: The Underpants Traveler (11)
Lu Dawei was very satisfied with their gluttonous appearance that he had never seen the world, with a kind smile that was not high on the shelves without any nobles, while introducing the dishes and some local popular people, and at the same time very politely persuaded the frequent people to drink.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome, please enjoy the feast. “
Chen Xuyuan and they ran in the field for half a moon to eat dry food, and even the roasted game did not have much salt, and the birds faded out of their mouths.
Hearing the opening remarks of the baron, who was the master, he took the lead in raising the utensils and eating a slice of meaty roast duck.
Everyone moved their knives, forks and dishes "huhulala", scrambling to divide the vegetables, cut the meat, and scoop the soup with a big spoon, especially the Patyusha who had never eaten this fresh dish, and they were even more surprised by the unique flavor imported from the earth.
But no one noticed.
Only one person glanced at a few familiar dishes on the table, and began to secretly glance at the baron's words and deeds with a vague and meaningful inquiring look—the seventh-order high wizard in a pure black robe.
Eddie and the others were all immersed and in the sigh of the food, and no one had the energy to look around to observe the other people's expressions, not even the old Bruno scholars, but the old scholars ate and acted more elegantly, soothingly, and politely.
In an extremely warm sound of cups colliding, eating and drinking.
After tasting a few dishes casually, the "Master Chen" deliberately coughed dryly to remind everyone, and then said casually: "It tastes good." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people around him immediately understood that they were in a bit of a hurry to eat, and they all nodded and smiled and thanked the baron who had entertained them.
Chen Xuyuan raised his glass again and motioned for everyone to follow him to greet the master.
Everyone, including Bruno, immediately followed the wizard in unison and chanted.
"On behalf of everyone, I thank you for this hospitality~ May the gods bless Lord Baron, and I wish you good luck!"
"May the gods bless the Baron...... Prosperity of martial arts!"
Seeing that the atmosphere on the wine table was gradually getting better, Baron Garcia also smiled and frequently raised his glass in return.
Just like the people of a thousand-year-old country on the earth always like to talk about business when they are drunk and hot.
At such times, people are always a little less wary and a little sober.
Even if you are not drunk, you can bargain casually, and even if someone says the wrong thing, you can be forgiven as a drunken talk, which is the so-called benefit of talking about things at the wine table.
Halfway through the dinner.
Lu Dawei tentatively asked Chen Xuyuan beside him about their origins and future plans.
Eddie laughed through the wine, and secretly continued to discharge with the baroness.
But I heard the priest in the knee-length piano black robe say indifferently: "We are from the city of Sarn to the northern port here to do business. And Siggli and the others around him also nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes, we learned that there will be some cheap goods from the southern mainland on the port side in the near future, so let's make a fortune by the way!"
"Bruno Bo doesn't always go into business, does he?" the baron turned his head and opened his mouth slightly, revealing an exaggerated smile of disbelief as he tried again to test Bruno, who had not spoken much.
The old bachelor Bruno stroked his mustache lightly, and replied casually: "There are some private matters, and we meet them along the way, and there are many people." ”
Although the old bachelor is also very strict-mouthed, this is all in Garcia's calculations.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart that these fugitives had claimed to be passing by for business.
I just found an excuse to intercept people to help, maybe ...... Maybe we can sell the news of their here to the Sarn Council for a good price~Ah. Hahaha~~
He secretly smug his mouth, pretending to be very embarrassed to say the good reason he had made up: "That is terrible! Do you know that several tribes of the mountain Karui have been harassing the borders and storming the city near our kingdom recently, and they may be attacked at any time. You don't know~ If we can't withstand the crazy attacks of these murderous barbarians. The people of the territory are about to be raped and plundered~ That scene is really miserable~!"
"And the lords around us have begun to enforce wartime decrees to prevent spies from infiltrating their territories in advance, and those border checkpoints to the north have been forbidden—including any caravans. I'm afraid you'll have to stay with me for now. However~ if there are murderous barbarians to attack! I also hope that Master Chen can help us resist the murderous barbarians! This is all for the safety of the lives and property of the people in the territory and live and work in peace and contentment, I wonder if a few people are willing to help me with this~ how?"
When Eddie heard the names of the "murderous and murderous" Karui people, he almost choked on the wine that he hadn't had time to swallow, because he and Master Chen were also from the Karui tribe~ Didn't this point at the bald donkey and scold the monk?
Who the would have thought that this aristocratic black hat was really smooth enough?!
He immediately rolled his eyes in secret.
But Master Chen and the others made another difficulty, they had just eaten people's soft mouths, and those who wanted to save face would not refuse immediately, and if they anxiously blindly shirked and hurried away, it would inevitably arouse people's suspicions that they had committed something and were hunted down and killed.
"If Baron Garcia gives us a letter certifying the identity of the merchants, will we be allowed to go along the way? Old Bruno asked, cautiously.
"I'm afraid not~ It's wartime, and according to the law, any lord has the right to be conscripted into the army. I think you're all very skilled professionals. Then even if you go to other territories in the north, you will have to be co-opted by the local lords to defend against the threat of the surrounding barbarians. They won't be so easy to talk about when the time comes~" Lord Baron half explained carefully, and half secretly threatened to call back the matter of release.
Even the old Bruno frowned, a little in a dilemma, unable to find a reason to get out immediately.
Master Chen was still very calm eating and drinking soup at the bar, and said lightly: "We have seen many places governed by lords along the way. Look at your territory, the people walking on the street are dressed in old clothes but not worn, most of them have ruddy faces, and there is some oil on their lips. So~ we're willing to keep one side safe, but even if we're willing to help you. On the battlefield, we are also invincible with two fists and four hands, and if the territory does not have enough spell equipment and ordnance manpower, it will not be able to defend it. ”
