Always unconsciously showing a little problem of greedy for money, if in the face of others, Rufer West will definitely stick to the end, but in front of him is Aldrich, the Knight of Tris who has always been on his side, which is a little embarrassing and embarrassing.

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little strange, but luckily the nearby Night Watchmen had left the training ground, returned to their respective camps to prepare hot baths, and looked forward to the sumptuous dinner that Captain West had said.

Aldridge retracted his smile and looked Rufer West in the eye with a calm attitude.

"Captain West, I have only been a member of the Night Patrol for a few days, and I have not accumulated enough qualifications or merits, do you think that the position of this vice-captain will fall on me? Besides, there are some people in the Night Watch who are eyeing this position, and you don't want my hard-earned prestige to go down the drain, do you? It's also a blow to your prestige, and they'll wonder if your decision is selfish. I remember what you just said, and treat it as an agreement to look into the future, a secret, and only you know it. ”

"Whew!" Rufer West withdrew his right hand reassuringly and nodded, "Indeed, as you said, I was a little hot-headed just now, perhaps because of the blood boiling after the run, and the decision made in the excitement was too hasty. But one thing is true, Aldrich, I absolutely agree with you becoming the vice-captain, becoming my strong lieutenant. ”

"And my reward is to support you as always!" "Knight Triss clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped lightly on his chest, "When I came to the Night Watchman as a stranger, you were the first to reach out, perhaps out of your duty, or perhaps because of my knighthood, or for other reasons, I am grateful for your help. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the little unhappiness they had just had vanished, and Rufer West was satisfied that the man he recognized was indeed trustworthy, 'worthy of a traditional knight, and although he was a little old-fashioned and inflexible about adapting to the times, there was something in him that was still worth admiring.' ’

As the sun sets, the Night Watchman feasts on a sumptuous dinner in the open-air cafeteria, where Aunt Rosie, the cook, and Lynn, the helper, have taken a lot of physical strength from this afternoon's training, and their already hungry bodies are in desperate need of nutritious food to fill the empty parts.

Plates of oily fried sausages are sprinkled with a few drops of spirits, and the scorching heat evaporates the aroma of the wine, tempting the nightwatchmen's stomachs. Freshly baked slices of brown brown salted butter are devoid of wood chips or sawdust, so they remain soft and won't break the teeth of the elderly. Everyone was given a few pieces of grilled ribs, and Aunt Rosie, who felt the crisis, did not deduct the vegetable gold on them, and each piece had a thick layer of burnt and delicious, fat and thin meat. If, as is customary, they were bought from the butchers of the market, they would have shrunk by the hands of the cooks, but now the ribs were happily left as they were, thanks to the maiden Lynn. Aunt Rosie's side dishes were crispy parsley salad and roasted tomatoes, and a generous cup of sweet soup made with flower petals on each Night Watch Knight's plate.

Rufer West, who dined with his subordinates, had a whole roast fat goose in front of him, and the helper in the open-air canteen made the cook inexplicably feel that the crisis was imminent, and she didn't know what she thought in her heart, so she used this kind of flattering method that could not be put on the table.

Captain West was a little angry, he clearly saw the contemptuous eyes of many Night Watchmen, and for a moment Rufer West was on pins and needles, a double-strand silver fork and a blunt knife in his hand, only swirling around the plate in front of him, clumsily pulling the food into his mouth, not daring to touch the roast goose, so as not to cause misunderstanding among others.

'Rosie, who is dizzy, what does she want to do, does she want me to make a fool of myself in front of people?'

Aldrich was at first just a bystander, but when he saw the captain of the Night Watchman, cutting up all the sausage slices with a knife and fork, he realized that something was wrong. Observe the movement around you and think about it a little to understand the reason for Captain West's gaffe.

His eyes were fixed on the steaming roast goose, and he suddenly remembered a delicacy he had seen in a long dream, and in a trance, Aldrich reached out to the cook and gestured with a hook of his fingers, but unfortunately Aunt Rosie was unconscious, and perhaps had seen it but did not take the request of the Knight of Tris seriously. Instead, the young girl Lynn came up to him enthusiastically and asked him what he needed.

"A clean pair of knives and forks, and two large plates. The helper in the open-air canteen immediately complied, if it weren't for the man in front of her, she wouldn't have been able to come to the Nightwatchman's camp to help, how could she not do her best to meet his request.

However, when Lynn went to the place where the dishes were set to get it, Aunt Rosie, who came out of nowhere, used a stern look from a hidden angle to warn her not to act rashly.

The girl came to help in the open-air canteen, originally she didn't want to get along with the cook, but the words of Knight Triss were still in her ears just now, she didn't want to disappoint Aldrich, in a dilemma, Lynn's body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid or her clothes were thin and frozen, her voice was full of pleading: "Kind Aunt Rosie, let me go over and get a pair of knives and forks and two dinner plates, that's Knight Tris's request." ”

The wide-bodied and fat cook bent down, her eyes full of indifference of refusal, and she lowered her voice: "Without my consent, you sloppy little girl, don't try to touch my dirty hands with my carefully arranged dishes." ”

"Please, Aunt Rosie, you can do it! Lynn's voice raised slightly, not alerting the cook, but it caught the attention of the night watchmen not far away, and their ears were pricked up.

", you little girl who doesn't want anyone even if you stick it upside down, don't mess my place, I've put up with your clumsy hands and feet long enough. ”

Lynn sobbed quietly, wiping tears from the back of her hand, standing in a dilemma, the cook pushed her in disgust, and at this moment, the knight of Tris, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up, looked at the girl and just wanted to say hello, but found that she was being pushed to the ground with a thin body.

The pillars of mercy sprung up from the knightly oath of protecting the old and infirm, and Aldridge slid to Lynn's side as if the caster had anointed the soles of his feet.

Reaching out to help the tearful girl, Knight Triss looked at it with a look of wincing, but immediately straightened the bucket-thick waist The cook knew what had just happened, he was a little angry but not good on the spot, and exhaled: "Aunt Rosie, please give me a clean pair of knives and forks and two large plates." ”

The knights' voices are a little loud, especially the voice of the 'Lion Roarer' Aldrich, which immediately attracts the nearby night watchmen who are immersed in munching on dinner, even when enjoying a sumptuous meal, they do not ignore the movements around them, which may be the instinct of the profession.

When the cook refused silently, many of the Night Watchmen put down their knives and forks and stood up, and walked in twos and twos.

Aunt Rosie was a little scared, in order to strengthen her position, she could refuse the request of the helper Lynn, but she could not ignore the needs of Aldrich, who was already a member of the Night Watchman, especially since he had already opened his mouth to make a request, and if there was no suitable reason, I believe that few people would help her. The cook looked sideways at Rufer West, but saw him absentmindedly munching, trying to ask for a favor, but she didn't know how.

The cold evening breeze blew, and Aunt Rosie's feverish brain instantly regained its sobriety and calmness.

'Take a step back, and there's no reason why you shouldn't give it to an extra request from a knight. I'm dazed, I dare to rely on Captain West's relative status to play prestige, this delicate relationship can only be understood, not said to my face. ’

Her attitude finally softened, "I'm sorry, the epidemic prevention regulations of the city hall health center, it's not that relevant personnel can't approach the sideboard, if you really need it, I can bring it to you, but you can't get it." ”

Aldrich nodded slightly, "Thank you very much for the reminder, please hand me the knife, fork and dinner plate I want." After saying that, they turned back to the Night Watchman who came and bowed slightly, and they immediately paused and returned to their respective positions with a smile on their faces.

This scene made the heart of the cook who was opening the cabinet and taking out the dishes heavy, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw something terrible, this newcomer Aldrich Triss was very popular with the Night Watchman, and she suddenly began to worry about the status of Captain West.

'These newcomers just don't know the rules!'

Putting the knife and fork and the two plates on the table heavily, with a clang, the knife and fork bounced and almost fell to the ground, Aldrich frowned, reached out and grabbed it, nodded to the cook, and then picked up the plate and returned to its place. Before leaving, he reached out and gently took the girl with him, and Lynn, who kept wiping her tears, made Triss Knight full of taste.

It is a knight's declaration to protect the old and infirm, but the person who 'bullies' the girl is the older woman, Aunt Rosie, who does not know how to deal with it. The pillars of justice are eclipsed, even the pillars of mercy no longer springs up, the cold evening breeze does not take away the irritability in Aldrich's heart, and the road of the knighthood of virtue is full of thorns every step.

Several regular knights who had been paying attention to Aldrich Triss had planned to see his jokes, but a storm that caused Captain West and Triss Knight to have a rift or even turn against each other quickly dissipated and restored calm.

When Aldridge came to his seat, he reached out sideways and asked the girl Lynn to sit down first, "Everyone!" Knight Tritsch tapped his knife on the bronze wine glass, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"As you know, I met a traveler from the country of Seris in the Whispering Forest, a gourmand who was familiar with both rough and delicate styles, and from him I learned many dishes, and now I will show you the highly regarded food of the country of Seris in the far east. ”

The eyes of the Night Watchman, far and near, looked over, and saw the Knight of Tris holding a knife and fork, carrying a knife on the back of a roast goose, and the crispy skin of the jujube red was cut out one by one, neatly stacked in a stack. This is followed by slices of meat with a fresh sauce, which are constantly peeled off and land on another plate. The five-pound fat goose was completely disassembled, and the two dinner plates contained about 300 pieces, leaving only a skeleton without a single shredded meat.

The dizzying knife technique is close to art, and the people who see this scene are dumbfounded. The ordinary night watchman was fine, but he was greedy for the burnt-smelling, steaming roast goose, a few full-time knights and a reserve knight with good eyesight, but they were shocked by Aldrich's skill in using the table knife.

They were all from the past, and they knew that the hands of the knights with swords had become accustomed to heavy swords over the years, and that light cutlery was often not used so neatly, let alone dizzyingly, and even with complex skeletal structures, slices of meat could be removed with ease.

Lifting weights is light, this is the basic skill of knights, their wrists are often stronger than ordinary people, only enough wrist strength and hand strength, in order to wield a heavy sword on the battlefield, otherwise it will not take a few strokes of the arm will be soreness and unable to hold the sword. However, it is not a skill that ordinary knights can master, and this flexible skill may not even be mastered by a seasoned thief.

"Let's try it, although my knife technique is a little rusty, I keep most of the oil firmly locked in the meat slices, and I can enjoy the delicious taste of roast goose when it is hot. ”

The night watchman was surging and crowded over, and the Triss knight hurriedly reminded: "There are only more than three hundred pieces, and each person can only eat five or six pieces, don't be greedy, good things to share with everyone." ”

"Oh!" everyone nodded in agreement, they had more respect for Aldridge after this miraculous scene, and even Rufer West nodded slightly, he already understood, and Knight Triss quietly solved another problem for him.
