Instead of returning to his room to rest, Esenas sat down in the hall.

The empty room and the continuous sound of rain help one think.

He was reflecting on whether his past failures were really entirely due to luck.

Recalling those members, apart from their names and daily routines, he couldn't even say what they liked, even though the Golden Fleece Adventure Group numbered more than thirty people, but this was by no means a reason for him to ignore the psychology of the members.

Analyzing their hearts little by little along with these memories, these thirty or so faces gradually came to life, and the enthusiasm hidden under the ordinary shell was finally seen by him.

"Smack. Smack. ”

Is the room leaking?

Ezenus, who was in deep thought, glanced back at the place where the voice came from, and Leo, dressed in civilian clothes, was yawning down the stairs.

Izenas, who was still analyzing the hidden character of the past members, subconsciously began to analyze Leo.

Drunkards, scoundrels, idiots with IQ in another world.

Isenas went through the words in his head, and eventually put the labels on Leo.

"Morning, Isenas, when did you get up? Leo rubbed his eyes as he sat down next to Isenas.

"Me?" said Esennast, after a pause, "just up." ”

"You're dressed so neatly when you first got up?" Leo said, pointing to Isenas's coat in confusion.

"I don't have the right clothes. Esenas prevaricated.

"What about the autumn clothes? The one we bought in Gale Winds should still be able to be worn, right?"

"It's not going to a feast. Isenas moved his stiff body, digressed from the subject, and asked, "Why do you get up so early?" I don't remember you having a good habit of getting up early after drinking. ”

Speaking of this, Leo is full of energy.

Yesterday, at the instigation of Lizanka, Nana still took a small sip of wine. But after half a glass of ale, Nana's face was flushed, and her originally ethereal blue pupils were also covered with a layer of wine, which made Leo smirk, so that he suddenly had the idea of letting Nana enjoy breakfast.

In addition, the only old man in this inn did not seem to be so dexterous, so he had to get up on his own.

"Cooking? I remember Nana saying that your talent for cooking seems to..."

"It's bad. But you have to try, right?" Leo scratched his head and walked towards the kitchen in the direction he had sensed. "Just right, you have to come and help me, if you make a mess of this old man's kitchen, your ability can help me make a little more decent, right?"

"It's easy to meet your requirements, but don't want me to use my Sanctuary abilities in such a strange place. Isenas angrily followed behind Leo.

In his opinion, the Sanctuary ability is a very important strategic resource, and using the Sanctuary ability for daily chores is as boring and inefficient as sending an army to find a red maple leaf in autumn for the queen.

But Leo just enjoyed it.

"What do you do first?, bake bread, fry fish?" Leo muttered to himself, rummaging through the kitchen.

"In my experience, it's more convenient to prepare the drink first. "Isenas gave a little personal opinion.

"You're right. A bucket of milk suddenly appeared in Leo's hand. It was clear that the tub of milk, which was supposed to be kept sealed in the cellar, had been delivered by someone using their spatial abilities.

Leo hummed a song in his mouth as he poured half a bucket of milk into the small pot.

"The song sounds familiar. ”

"This is the song that Nana sang with the children. Lao Mo also recorded this song in his little instrument case. What's next?"

"What?"

"I said, what's next?"

"Toast bread, fry bacon, scrambled eggs, fry too. Then put the butter and cutlery together. Isenus pointed helplessly.

"Sounds so simple. Leo lit up a fire with interest. "Anyway, how did you talk to the old man? ”

"No, he still refused our help. Isenas lied.

"Shall we help them, then?"

Isenus hesitated for a moment and said, "First of all, I think we should sometimes respect the wishes of others, even if you want to do good. ”

"No way, Isenas, it's completely impossible. Leo put the cut toast in the pot, turned around, and said to Isenas solemnly, "As long as I am sure that this will help others, I will definitely do it." ”

"What if the recipient doesn't want to accept help from others, or if your behavior is counterproductive?" asked Isennas rhetorically, "if you don't agree with the recipient in advance, then such behavior seems to me to be a complete arrogant handout." ”

"So that's why we're standing idly by while others are suffering?" Leo shouted as he glared at Isenas.

Isenas didn't let this go, and shot back sharply: "That's right, even if there is a person in front of me who is thinking about whether to jump off the edge of the cliff, I will not interfere in the slightest before he asks for help, because it is his own will." If he is already desperate for this world, I will leave him in this world that is extremely terrifying to him, and this is the punishment for him. This is the act of arrogant, stupid hypocrites who are simply trying to achieve the momentary pleasure and fulfillment of their own savior. ”

"You. Leo glared at Isenus fiercely.

"It's time for your toast to be turned over. Esenus grimacedly gestured to the pan emitting some black smoke.

"I know. Leo viciously picked the toast in the air with a knife-like motion.

That's why we have to take responsibility for our actions until everything becomes what we want it to be. If I see the man who is on the verge of suicide, I will definitely drag him back, untie his knot, and tell him that there is nothing in this world that cannot be passed, and that there is only hope if you live. Life is the most magnificent miracle in the world!"

"Hush. Esenas scoffed, and did not argue with Leo's words.

Leo's idea is correct, but there is no doubt that it is difficult to implement.

"Well, even if you plan to help this village, what about our team? This matter involves so many nobles and church arrangements for decades, as long as we do it, we will definitely not be able to hide the traces. We hibernate for half a year before we infiltrate the realm of faith, not to expose our whereabouts in such a matter. ”

"Then it's up to you. Leo kept his head down, concentrating on the two slices of toast.

"I? My answer is no. Isenas said bluntly. "There are many ways to solve the problems of this village, but they are difficult to achieve and not perfect. ”

"If you don't say, how do I know they're hard to achieve?"

Regarding Leo's persistence and stubbornness, Isenas nodded and said, "Okay, then the first way, we secretly help one side and let them rule this village. And we can use our own force as a deterrent to make sure that the forces we support don't treat the village too harshly. ”

"Isn't that easy?"

"Of course. But how do you guarantee that ten years from now, twenty years from now, this lord will always treat this village according to the rules we have set? And how can you guarantee that this lord will always be strong, that this village will always be under their control? There is no eternity in the world. And don't forget, this is a land of faith, even if you can use the resources of the Frederick family, and besides, you don't want to be associated with your family right now. ”

Leo stared at the slightly charred toast and was silent.

"What about the other way?"

"Letting them flee en masse to the land of the free would disrupt our itinerary severely, and I'm not sure how many times we would be attacked during a migration that could take up to six months. Maybe thirty times?"

This method is even less desirable.

"Is there any other way?"

"Yes, and there are no side effects. Isenus twitched his nose and frowned as he spoke.

No matter how it smelled, Leo's pot didn't smell like food.

"Tell me?" Leo flipped the pan over, causing the 'perfect'-looking toast to flip in the air a few times, shaking off some black particles.

"Take this place down, and then allow them to trade, learn knowledge, and have enough force to protect their wealth. ”

"It's the same as not saying. Leo took the blackened mass of the pot and put it on a plate.

"But it's really the best way, self-improvement is the foundation of defending your rights, so that even if you are forced to cede this territory in the future, they can make sure that they don't become food. Isenus thought for a moment and said, "Or you can also understand that victory is the truth." ”

"Yes, yes, but it's really impossible to do it now, right?" Leo nodded perfunctorily, picked up the plate, and sniffed the lump.

But that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future. I estimate that this false prosperity in this village will last for at least a decade or more. Isenus also leaned in front of the mass of coke in Leo's hand.

"You're... Breakfast?"

"I guess it's like toast in my mind?" Leo began to stiffen in hesitation.

Just then, Nana's slightly confused voice came from outside the kitchen.

"Leo, are you in the kitchen?"

"Oh no!" Leo's face changed, and he suddenly looked at Esenus with a pleading face. "Please, good brother, you must have a way to make this garbage disappear, right?"

Esenas snorted, "Didn't you just say that this is similar to your impression of toast?"

"That's my nonsense. Hurry up, good brother, Nana is coming in, and when she finds out, I'm going to die. Leo got down on one knee and lifted the wretched thing in front of Isenus.

"Squeak. ”

Nana pushed the door open and sniffed with a wrinkled little nose.

"Are you cooking? Leo?"

The two in the kitchen didn't seem to have anything happened, and Leo continued to hum a little song as he watched the pot of milk by the stove.

"Oh, of course. Leo said with a pretended lightheartedness. "I'll just boil some milk. Hey, you don't think I'm going to have a problem boiling milk, do you?"

"Of course not, but. Nana followed the smell of burnt air to the frying pan.

Leo's face changed, how could he forget this stubble?

"What's wrong with this pan, it looks like it's burning through, and. Nana picked up a handful of charred particles from the side of the stove. "Is this bread?"

Leo couldn't answer Nana's question, so he had to look at Isenas for help.

Esenus shrugged his shoulders gloatingly, saying that he couldn't help himself.

Nana turned around, put her hands on her waist, and said viciously to Leo, "So, you didn't grease the bottom of the pan when you fried bread in the pan, right? Leo, you don't want to step into the kitchen half a step in the future!"

It turns out that when a cook is in her kitchen, her insight and reasoning skills are completely top-notch, and of course, her temper is also...

Isenus and Leo were kicked out by Nana in embarrassment, and looked at each other with a wry smile.

"What are you going to do with this village now?" said Isennas held out his hand, and little by little, the layer of things that clinged to his skin fell off and returned to the form of the defeated mass.

"What to do?" Leo sighed. "Since you can't help it, then we have to let the nobles here go. ”

"Good. ”

Isenus put the lump into Leo's hands.

When the two looked at each other, there was a moment when Isenas felt Liam's face overlap with Leo's.

This time, he wished he could behave differently.

P.S This failed breakfast experience came from me. (Pride)
