"How many days is it from Baden?"

Alan didn't feel relieved by the Viscountess's words, and he continued to ask.

"At the current rate, it's about eight days. ”

Viscount Benn replied.

"Eight days is too long, we have to work harder and rush at full speed. ”

"That's pretty much enough for six days. ”

"Six days is also dangerous. In this case, Benn hastened to send two of your men with your seal, and hastened to the city of Baden to meet General Gerant, and asked him to send cavalry to meet us at once. ”

Alan thought for a moment and said.

"Good. I listen to you. ”

Seeing Allen's solemn expression, Viscount Benn knew that he was not talking casually, so he did not hesitate, and immediately called two of his subordinates and asked them to rush to Baden City with their own seals for help.

"There are several ways to get to Baden. ”

"Three roads!"

"That's good news. However, in the future, we can no longer stay in villages and towns, and we will have to camp in the wilderness. It's a bit harder, but it's safe, and staying in the village can easily reveal our whereabouts, so that the Holy See's followers can easily find us. ”

"But we didn't come out with that much supply this time. ”

"It doesn't matter, you can arrange for people to go into the villages and towns to purchase. But don't reveal the whereabouts of other people, especially your family. ”

"I see, but we don't even have a chef, so I'm afraid it's a problem to eat. ”

The viscount scratched his head a little embarrassed, he didn't even carry kitchen utensils when he ran away this time to save trouble.

"Don't worry, I know how to cook, and I'm better than a lot of chefs. ”

"I can cook too, so I can help you. ”

The girl in the carriage heard their conversation and suddenly interjected.

"If your cooking skills are a little better than making a fire, consider it. ”

Alan suddenly remembered that on the morning of the fire in the hunter's hut, if it weren't for the smoke caused by the fire being discovered by the enemy, there might not have been many things that happened later, but then Viscount Ben's family might not have escaped, it seems that there are really eyes in the sky watching, and what he committed will be paid back after all.

"Okay. Just do what you want. ”

Allen's suggestion made the viscount feel a little embarrassed, he didn't care about himself, the main thing was whether the lady and the child could endure the hardship of sleeping in the open. So he turned his head to look at Madame, and when she nodded to him, he agreed. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Alan was doing this for the sake of their safety, otherwise with Allen's performance, there would be no need to be so troublesome if he wanted to escape.

That afternoon, according to Allen's plan, the convoy did not rest in the nearby villages and towns, or even enter them at all, but chose a small road to go around the town, and walked another twenty miles before choosing a valley to rest.

The viscount arranged for someone to go to the town to purchase some supplies, Alan originally wanted to purchase some magic materials in the town, but the scale of the town is too small, and since the expansion of the Holy See's power in the east of Higg, the activities of magicians have become less and less, and magic-related items are gradually withdrawing, so to Allen's disappointment, the servant came back to report that he did not see any magic-related items.

However, the food supply in the town was still very abundant, and according to Allen's request, the servant carried back a whole sheep, and Allen showed his hand and made a roasted whole sheep for everyone. The rich smell of meat soon permeated the vicinity of the camp, and everyone was attracted to watch Alan reveal his skills, and before he could eat the meat, he just smelled the fragrance and looked at the color, and many people's saliva was already flowing all over the ground. In particular, the Viscount's two sons and daughters circled around Ellen, and had completely forgotten their fear of him under the temptation of barbecue.

When the sheep was roasted, everyone sat down around two campfires, the servants gathered around a large fire, and the Viscount's family plus Alan and Jean sat around a small fire, and Alan gave the selected meat to the Viscount's family first, and the rest was given directly to the servants to share with themselves.

"This is the best lamb we've ever had. ”

"No, this is the best meat we've ever had. ”

"Hmph, this is the best food we've ever had. ”

The Viscount's sons and daughters, covetously dealing with the best leg of lamb in their hands, expressed their praise for Alan's craftsmanship in their own unique way.

"Allen, you have such a skill, you can open a bar at will, and you can make a lot of money, why do you need to be a mercenary?"

The Viscountess asked half-jokingly, of course she knew that with Allen's magical prowess, money wasn't a problem for him at all.

"Madame, there are some things you don't understand. ”

Without waiting for Alan to answer, Viscount Benn had already taken over Madame's words, and it seemed that he had knowledge of the history of mercenaries, so he didn't want this topic to cause Embarrassment to Alan.

"Ma'am, you're right. Years ago, I did work part-time as a chef in a small bar to earn a few pocket money, and my barbecue skills were honed at that time, and I was always happy with my magic to make customers happy. ”

Alan tore a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, sighed and said, the simple satisfaction and happiness of the beginning can no longer be found.

"Alan, I've seen magicians in Triumph City, and they don't take us little nobles into their eyes at all, so I never dreamed that magicians would be good at cooking, and they use magic to make food, let alone that one day I would eat the food that the magician himself cooked for me. If I tell the proud magicians in Triumph about today, they will think I'm talking nonsense, or even think I'm disrespecting them. ”

Viscount Benn had never seen a magician like Alan who didn't take his magic so seriously, so he didn't just sigh.

"Whether a magician should be respected or not is not determined by how he uses magic or how strong his magic is, but by what he does with it. ”

"Alan, you're right. Take the great magician Emaar as an example, when he fought against the Holy See for the Higg Empire, the Higg people were full of respect for him, but later he joined Bols and persecuted the people of the eastern Hig, people talked about his name and changed color, although his magic strength is still there, but people only fear him and have no respect. ”

The Viscount said in the same tone as a hero.

"My teacher once told me that magic is about making people happy and happy. ”

"Your teacher must be a great person, and only a great person can teach a thinking student like you. ”

The Viscountess listened to Alan's words and praised the old magician.

"He's just a stern, sometimes kind old man in my eyes, and if he knew that I used the magic he taught me to make a barbecue, his beard might have turned up. ”

Remembering all the things he had done with the old magician at the Academy of Magic, Alan laughed.

"Has anyone ever told you that you actually smile beautifully? You should smile more and not be gloomy all day. ”

It was Maiden Jean who spoke.

"Come, eat meat!"

Alan didn't want to listen to the girl's teachings, so he hurriedly sent the largest piece of lamb leg meat to her, trying to gag her mouth.

"I don't eat meat, I'm a vegetarian!"

The girl pushed Alan's hand away and refused.
