Section 05 Partner, or time bomb

In the evening, the hotel, the small restaurant.

On a long wooden table, white bread, broth, a variety of fresh vegetables, and a large pot of softly stewed pork ribs are placed.

A few people sat around the table, watching little Susan act on Aemond's ugliness.

“…… Then a lump of poop fell, right on his head, and he ...... like that" Susan's little face twitched as if she had eaten something too sour, and her two eyebrows kept shaking, "and then a lump of green poop fell, and he ate it with one mouth......"

"Gross! Feed! What about eating, can you not be so buried? Chen Yin knocked little Susan on the head with the long white bread in his hand.

"I can't." Little Susan thought about it for a moment, shook her little head vigorously, and looked like she was doing business, "This is a matter of principle. ”

“…… Where did you learn this? ”

"I learned from you."

"When did I say that!?"

"Well......" little Susan thought about it for a moment, "...... I'll learn it myself! ”

Her cute appearance made everyone at the table laugh.

"Poof......haha"

"This little guy is so interesting."

"Why didn't you find out before?"

"I can't stop you when you eat!" Gianna picked up little Susan and put her in her seat, "Eat your meal!" ”

"Hmm~No~I want to chat with Your Excellency~~"

"Well, eat quickly, I'll tell you a story when I'm full."

As soon as Chen Yin finished speaking, little Susan shouted: "Don't regret it!" Then he puffed out his cheeks and began to eat like a little squirrel......

After the little guy quieted down, Chen Yin looked at Uncle Tim and Aunt Jiya: "What are your plans for the two of you next?" ”

After the uncle and aunt looked at each other, the aunt first said, "I'm going to go to the church branch to have a look." ”

"Strike iron." Uncle Tim said.

Chen Yin smiled and nodded, but the question in his heart lingered. It stands to reason that after using Lancelot's influence to treat the refugees in Blackwood Town kindly, there was no need for Tim and Giya to follow the imperial capital.

Especially Uncle Tim, his superb blacksmith skills can mix well anywhere, and there is no need to travel thousands of miles through the territory of dozens of lords and spend months following him to the imperial capital.

Chen Yin even felt that the two seemed to be more interested in him. Along the way, Aunt Ji Ya chatted with Chen Yin about some cards, soul seas, card rings and other things, and always felt that she was using chat as an excuse to teach Chen Yin card knowledge.

And Uncle Tim did it more bluntly, saying that what kind of man is if he doesn't have physical strength, what kind of man is not how to use a sword, etc., he directly took Chen Yin over and trained him fiercely, and trained him like a dead dog every day before he stopped.

However, whether it is card knowledge or swordsmanship skills, there is no harm to Chen Yin, on the contrary, after training, this body is much better than before, although it is not as flexible as Aunt Jiya, not as strong as Uncle Tim, but on the whole it is much better than the clumsy otaku before - Chen Yin has even leaked out his abdominal muscles in the past few months, and he has suffered a lot.

"Where's Aunt Gianna?"

"Uncle McCarthy helped me get a job at the gospel office......"

"Okay, everyone has their own plans...... Chen Yin nodded, and just wanted to say something, he was interrupted by someone.

“…… And me, Your Excellency...... I want to go to the headquarters to report ......" came to Slote. The order Chen Yin gave him before was to stay in the hotel to protect Gianna and the others, so he had not been able to get out.

"You're talking about it tomorrow." After speaking, Chen Yin ate silently, and Lancelot wanted to speak several times, but finally sighed, picked up the white bread and chewed it tastelessly.

The next day.

Chen Yin got up very early, and after finishing today's workout under the supervision of Uncle Tim, he took Lancelot out with him.

Walking down the street, Lancelot asked strangely, "Your Excellency, where do you want to go?" ”

"You know it here, you can do it. I just want to get acquainted with the city. ”

"That'...... The slave market in the imperial capital is famous, there are many high-quality female slaves there, and sometimes there are noble ladies from the Ottoman Empire and the Quest Empire who are captured and sold......"

"The Imperial Auction is also a lot of fun, there is a big auction every month, and they always get their hands on good things, everything from weapons to card rings, cards to curiosities, whatever the need, just go in and check out the rewards."

"The Imperial Capital Card Trading Center is very good, I recommend you to take a look, there are not only all kinds of cards for sale, but also the latest card battle game launched by the Imperial Capital Alchemy Workshop, which is particularly interesting."

"There is also the Imperial Opera House, the gladiatorial arena, the Arms Street, the Alchemy Shopping Street, the Bar Street, and so on."

"Oh, that sounds interesting, so let's go wherever it's closer." Chen Yin looked at the pedestrians on the road aimlessly, as if he was thinking about something, and felt a little absent-minded.

"Then ......" Lancelot hesitated, "Let's go to the Imperial Auction House, just turn the corner in front, the auction will be held at the end of the month, all the lots will be displayed before the auction, and now you can see a lot of good things that you can't usually see in the past......"

"Well, let's go, then."

"Your Excellency, do you have something on your mind......?" Lancelot hesitated, but asked.

"yes." Chen Yin nodded, "I'm wondering if I want to give you freedom." ”

"Huh!?" Lancelot was stunned, his voice revealing a tremor that he had never felt before.

"I couldn't help it before, there was too much difference in status, I always have to prevent you from calculating me, right? And now that we have a relationship with McCarthy's father, the grudge between us is not particularly big, I wonder if it would be better to just forget it? ”

"Because you are a very clever man and have a lot of eyes, and I can't always keep you watching, and you definitely want to get rid of this contract of servitude. I am not sure that I am worried about you all day long. Why don't you reconcile while the grudge is not deep? You almost killed me, I almost killed you, even if we settle the matter, everything ends up with grievances, how about it? ”

“…… Thank you, Excellency. Lancelot's lips moved slightly, and he pulled out an ugly smile, "But...... There's really no way. ”

“…… I mean it. As he spoke, Chen Yin stuffed a stack of cards into Lancelot's hand, "It may be too high-sounding to say anything else, but I really can't sleep well with a time bomb like yours by my side." ”

"But there's really no way." Lancelot sighed, "At that time, I was also trying to survive...... There really isn't a way other than the shaman of the gray orcs. ”

As he spoke, the Imperial Auction House had arrived, and standing in the crowded exhibition hall, Chen Yin also smiled bitterly, this most basic contradiction has not been resolved, so this time bomb will still exist no matter what.

"There's no way...... Hey? ”

As he spoke, a familiar flash caught Chen Yin's attention.
