Kelvin may not be very good as a butler, but he has a good hand at making bread. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The sourness of the natural blend of fermentation bacteria is neutralized by the absinthe ashes, and the early blending of handmade maltose gives the bread a subtle sweetness that seems to be subtle after the oven.

Even Rogham praised the golden bread with a rich wheat aroma as it was not inferior to the craftsmanship of the chief master of the bread workshop in Brucetown.

Compared to little Andrew's favorite bread, Mr. Mephistopheles' craftsmanship does not look so pleasing to the eye. With the exception of the novel blood tofu soup, pots of barely recognizable provenance were mixed together, and Seth could only tell which pot was chicken and which was the chicken offal he didn't want to try by things like dried fruit bark.

But in addition to the appearance, the ingredients that the children of the abyss threw into the pot still had the effect he expected, the food on the old long table top exuded a pleasant smell, and the fishy smell of the internal organs had been cleverly concealed by the spices, and even the little fox with a keen sense of smell could hardly distinguish their original smell.

If it weren't for witnessing the whole process and making sure that the half-elf named Mephistopheles didn't add toad poison or anything like that, Seth couldn't help but wonder if the secret of the mysterious witch doctor's lineage was Voodoo Elixir.

"Sir, did you add precious bay oil to these chickens!?" Rogham asked with a deep sip of food with his eyes closed, and then asked with a little surprise in his intoxication.

"I can't change bay oil, it's just some raw materials used to make bay oil. Andre replied, but he was not polite in his hand, and scooped a few pieces of chicken and offal into his bowl with a wooden spoon, "You can try it yourself." ”

Rogham followed the example of the Children of the Abyss, scooping the food into a bowl and then began to observe the strange aroma of the ingredients with a scrutinizing eye. As a fat man, Rogham's passion for food goes without saying, and his wealthy family and status as the second male in the family make him able to satisfy his appetite most of the time. In his opinion, Mr. Mephistopheles's use of many spices was undoubtedly a very novel and rare way of cooking, except that the food cooked in this way did not seem even more tempting than the food on the plates of the common people.

With a little suspicion, the fat man put the chicken and the unknown dried fruit into his mouth, and then the sweet, juicy, soft and delicate chicken conquered his slightly fussy tongue - a faint mixture of sweet and salty tastes, the umami and unknown aroma of the chicken filled the whole mouth, and when Rogham slowly chewed the food in his mouth, the silky chicken fibers and the powdery and sweet dried fruits were intertwined, turning into a wonderful taste that made the fat man feel very novel.

"Sir, what is the ......!?" Rogham scooped out the pieces of dried fruit he didn't recognize, and once again began to wonder if the half-elf was using some rare and precious ingredients.

"It's chestnuts, haven't you ever eaten roasted chestnuts?" Facing the rare and strange fat man in front of him, Andre could only answer helplessly.

"I've eaten fresh chestnuts, but they're too hard to peel...... I didn't expect it to be so delicious when cooked!" Rogham stared at the chestnuts in the bowl and suddenly realized something, "How much time does it take to clean up so many chestnuts?"

"Nanali...... It helped a lot!~" The little fox stretched out her hand excitedly, as if she was afraid that others would ignore her merits, and Nanali, who was busy swallowing food, replied vaguely, "And Sister Logia, Sister Annie, Andrew, um......"

Nanali pointed to the boy across the table, who was Seth's son, Joshua. Feeling the gaze of everyone, the shy boy lowered his head and munched on his food. As the hunter's son, he rarely had the opportunity to have dinner with the lord's family, and the foreign guests, the new experiences, and the delicious food, he just wanted to keep it in his heart at the moment.

"Daddy, this one is delicious, too!" Joshua whispered when he saw that his father, Seth, had never touched the bowl of entrails.

These messy internal organs were obviously just warm, but chewing them brought an uncomfortable burning sensation in the mouth, but for some reason, Seth couldn't help but want to taste the taste carefully after getting used to this strange taste.

As if to see everyone's doubts, Andre slowly tapped the outer edge of the chicken offal basin with a wooden spoon, "Isn't it strange that there is a burning but slightly dull burning sensation? This is the smell of bay oil...... To be precise, it's not really a taste at all, it's just a tingling sensation caused by corrosive irritation of the oral mucosa, which in Andrarui is called 'spicy'. Spicy is used to mask fishy odors and can easily give the illusion of addiction, but it is not suitable for large quantities. ”

In addition to the guests, there were only Larry and his nephew, and Kelvin sat at the table because of Seth and his son. Even so, the spacious dining room and the long tables still seem a little empty.

......

After enjoying the wonderful flavors of the foreign land, the people who felt satisfied began to discuss the current situation of the village. Kelvin performed his duties as a steward and servant and began to clean up the mess on the table with a fist around the long table, perhaps because he returned to his familiar home, and the introverted little Andrew took the initiative to speak very rarely.

"Sir, I have a very rude request. The future young lord flashed his big brown eyes as he looked at the future teacher sitting beside him.

"You say. André noticed that the little boy, who was not yet ten years old, had some unconsciously glanced in the direction of the lame butler.

The little boy pinched the corner of his coat nervously, as if to gauge whether his request would make the gentleman feel embarrassed, "I want you to heal Uncle Kelvin's leg." ”

Larry looked at his nephew, feeling inappropriate but also a little relieved, Andrew naturally agreed with the idea, but this was only the first day of Mr. Mephistopheles' arrival, and it was still too anxious to make such a request...... Although Andrew was still just a child.

"No, no, young master, why did you make such a request, my leg has been lame for many years, and I myself have long been used to it. Even the priests of the church say that such old wounds can only be ...... by the blessing of the gods."

Larry's butler began to panic when he realized the content of the conversation, and in his opinion, it was a very rude thing for the young master to make such an unattainable demand on his master. Most aristocrats cherish their reputation, and for whatever reason, refusing a request from another person is not a glorious thing, and to the person who makes the request, it is called a faux pas.

"Mr. Mephistopheles is the one who used the life magic to forcibly pull me back from the Land of Yellow Springs, and I am very curious about what kind of miraculous means Mr. can use to cure such an adult disease. Androni, who had been silent during dinner, suddenly interjected with interest.

The beautiful girl's words surprised the middle-aged hunter who thought Andrew was just a child's heart at first. Although it is rare to see a woman with such a good appearance as Androni, Seth has not never seen it, and if there is no special reason, the more beautiful and arrogant a woman is usually not easy to say in order to compliment others. What's more, in her words, she also mentioned life-saving grace and magic skills.

Larry's character, Seth was well aware, and Andrew, a shrewd uncle, could not have treated a beautiful woman as a guest of honor because of a few unsubstantiated advocacy......

Unconcerned, Andre walked over to Kelvin and crouched down, picking up the butler's left trouser tube, revealing a thin, shrunken calf that contrasted with the muscle groups near the shinbone.

"Tendon rupture causes impairment of ankle mobility, muscle atrophy caused by long-term inability to exert force...... "Slightly pinching the butler's limp and weak calf muscles, which can shake greatly at the lower end, Andre has already basically diagnosed what is going on with Kelvin's injury, although he has forgotten the academic name of these muscles.

"I do have several surgical options, and although I am not sure which one is more feasible, both preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation are necessary. In this way, it is up to me to perform a massage treatment with life magic on your atrophied muscles every night from today onwards. As he spoke, the emerald green magical light between Andre's fingers illuminated the dim table and floor.

The hunter and his son, who had never seen the magic of life, had an undisguised surprise on their faces, and it seemed that what the girl named Androni said casually seemed to be true!!

Faced with a lame man who was nominally a butler but was in fact a low-ranking servant, the Son of the Abyss did not realize that there was anything wrong with him squatting at his feet. For doctors from other worlds, even palpating the intimate parts of the opposite sex is something that most people in the whole society can accept.

"Sir, what ...... you are!, I haven't finished cleaning it up yet!" Kelvin panicked, holding a plate and a wooden bowl in his hand.

"It's okay, you can get better results by moving a little more after the treatment. Andre continued to focus on what was at hand.

Accustomed to the magic of "Mr. Mephistopheles", these people began to observe every little movement of the children of the abyss, as if they were expecting to find out some mystery about magic from the unknown details.

With his fists clenched, his shoulders trembling from overexertion, and the frenzy and excitement staining the middle-aged hunter's ordinary face and eyes, the strangeness of Seth was ignored by the people who were paying attention to Andre.

......

The next morning, André was still lying in bed, wondering what the way out of this backward village was. The shouts of the villagers and the inquiring of Kelvin interrupted his thoughts so abruptly.

"What's going on?" asked the Son of the Abyss, who quickly got dressed, running out of the room and into the hallway.

"It's the Seth family......" Larry stopped talking as he looked at Mr. Mephistopheles, who seemed to be in a hurry to get up.

"What's wrong with their family, wasn't it okay when they had dinner last night?" Andre suddenly had a strange illusion - although he should be the protagonist template in the novel, but this is not a thriller and suspense story, you can't just have an accident wherever you go, right?

Following Larry and Kelvin's gaze, André saw Seth's son, Joshua, a half-grown boy, pulling a villager's clothes at the door of the lord's mansion and praying for something. Like the fat lord and housekeeper beside Andre, the farmer's face was full of helplessness, but he didn't let go of the young man who was begging and pleading, and he seemed to have a hidden intolerance in his heart.

"What the hell?" said Andre turned his head to stare at Larry.

The boy said that his father had secretly gone to avenge him last night. Larry felt a bit of a headache, but if anyone could fix the gaffe that was giving him a headache right now, it was probably the gentleman in front of him.

"Revenge?"

This seems to be a little different from what he thought, right? The Children of the Abyss felt a moment of inexplicability.

As the vicarious lord of the place, the only hunter in the village and one of the few important sources of meat in the village, Larry had to make a long story short with a bitter face.

"About a year ago in the winter, a demon wolf in the forest was driven near the village because of a failed battle for territory. As a hunter, Seth was naturally the first to discover this change, and his years of hunting experience and familiarity with the forest gave him the idea of hunting the demon wolf. For the sake of his family's safety, the people of the village and I agreed to support him on this hunt. ”

Thinking back to that cold winter, Larry couldn't help but sigh again, "It's just that Seth still missed in the end, and the injured demon wolf hid in the depths of the forest, just when people were glad that only two people were slightly injured." Everyone was only faintly worried, and no one realized that the demon wolf was so cunning!"

"One afternoon half a month later, the one-eyed black ** wolf lurked into the village while Seth was out hunting. The clever devil found Seth's wife and son...... Before the guards arrived, Joshua's mother was lying in a pool of blood. As it departed, the men with hoes and sickles trembled and did not dare to stop it. ”

"That demon wolf didn't hurt Joshua?" said Andre felt a little strange.

It is said that the child's mother desperately protected him. Larry frowned and speculated, "But the devil bit his mother to death very easily, and the farmers who rushed to hear the news were only far away and did not dare to come forward desperately." It seems to me that the cunning demon wolf who did not dare to face Seth spared Joshua. ”

As long as Joshua was alive, Seth would not dare to go into the forest to hunt the black devil. The butler added with a sigh.

André suddenly noticed the discord and logic, "It's been so long, why did Seth suddenly decide to avenge his wife? Could it be that he got something wrong?"

Joshua woke up this morning to find that all of his father's hunting tools were gone. Kelvin replied worriedly, "Seth never chose to go into the forest to hunt in the middle of the night. ”

"So this time he should have really made a decision. Larry agrees with his butler.

"But what prompted him to make this decision?" Following the gazes of Larry and the butler, the Children of the Abyss suddenly had a bad premonition, "It can't be because of me!?"

"Mr. Mephistopheles, please save my father!" Seeing the half-elf standing in the corridor of the lord's mansion, the red-eyed human boy pushed aside the villagers and housekeepers who did not have much intention of stopping him and rushed in, and knelt in front of the son of the abyss with a "poof", "Please save my father......! Even if it's just for the sake of those two chickens yesterday......"

As he spoke, the helpless boy began to weep.

The lame butler opened his mouth, eager to say that the two chickens, Lord Larry, had paid for it...... Finally, he still didn't say it.

Looking helplessly at the young man who almost buried his head in his feet, Andrei sighed. Well, for the chicken's sake, the son of the abyss said to himself in his heart.
