Chapter 11 of Section F: Meals (Cyberdart)

Half a bucket of smoke kung fu (Vicol smokes more slowly, so there are about forty minutes).

After pouring the ashes, Vicol gently knocked his pipe and pushed away the bottle with a helpless expression: "That's the way it is...... Did I go into enough detail, Mr. Ranger?"

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Nodding, Sebodat pondered what he had just heard: "But...... Some places are not clear. ”

"No problem, just ask. What we have is time. Shifting his attention from the shopkeeper who had arrived for the last course (grilled venison with pine nuts with sauce), Vicol visibly swallowed and put down the freshly buttered sliced bread in his hand: "I've been listening to the noise in the street, where it's very noisy. It didn't seem like the crowd had dispersed at all. ”

"Can you settle the account first and talk later?" coughed loudly to interrupt the conversation between the two, and the boss said in a thick voice, "I'm so busy that I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." ”

"Ah, sorry for the delay. I really didn't pay attention to that just now. Stopping Vicol, who wanted to say something, Sebodat smiled apologetically and asked softly, "Do you accept the Eurasian currency, or Loos?"

"Whatever, I don't care. But preferably Eurasian coins. With a snort, the uncle puffed up his chest and pointed outside the house: "No matter how small this place is, it is still a port that pays attention to trade." Like language, common currency is more comfortable to spend than local money - some foreign merchants even accept only Eurasian currency. Moreover, once out of the North Sea, it is difficult to exchange the copper Los for real money. When the time comes, they'll be piles of waste. ”

This...... You're not casual at all, are you? You care about it at all, right? Between the lines, it all conveys, "I don't like Loos, so don't give it to me if you know each other", are we deaf? And under what circumstances would someone with an IQ take Loes out without redeeming it?

The conditioned reflex is average, and the elf is easy to burst out of a few sentences of complaint in his heart after listening to this. Sighing inwardly and reminding himself that he couldn't always pay attention to the grooves of other people's words, Cyberdat touched the brim of his hat, still maintaining a rude smile. However, at this time, he sighed bitterly in his heart: his problem has been hundreds of years, and he can't get rid of it at all.

But...... Over the years, I have been able to control and not speak out about them. However, this habit has seriously affected Leah (Aya Girl, an orphan adopted by Cyberdat as her sister), and it has not changed to this day. Maybe it's not a bad habit, but I always feel that something is wrong.

"Then pay you Eurasian currency. Noticing that the girl was constantly looking this way and talking to her boyfriend in a tone that was loud enough for everyone to hear at the door, the elf pretended not to notice it to avoid embarrassment: "How much is it?"

"See for yourself. Out of nowhere, he found a piece of paper, and the boss stuffed it to the elf with a lazy expression: "Who the hell will pay the bill? ”

Why didn't I see it...... Finding that his gaze was always moving to an open bottle of wine, the elf just wanted to take a closer look at the bill, but was snatched away by Vicor: "Mr. Elf, you just saved me, but I didn't make anything substantial in return." I'm going to have to pay for it now, the one who owes you your life?"

"I'm sorry for you. After thinking about it, it made sense, and in order to maintain the dignity of that person, Cyberdat didn't put forward what he wanted to say in advance, and one person would pay half. However, as Vicol finished reading the bill, his face became more and more ugly, and eventually became like a rag that had been twisted. Putting down the bill, he took a deep puff of his pipe as if to calm his emotions, and the word "vicissitudes" was written all over his face.

It doesn't look like this meal is cheap...... Feeling a little bad, Cyberdat looked at the bill: Speaking of which, the boss had warned before that the "handling fee" was very expensive. But both of them thought he was joking...... Although the uncle's expression at that time didn't look like he was teasing anyone at all.

Just as Vicol was paying the bill, the elf took the bill curiously, glanced at it, and was stunned by the price: such a three-course meal with bread rum actually cost four carts, five roggees, and seven fars (a total of four hundred and fifty-seven fars). It is not known how much of this is a "handling fee".

"I'll wipe it for you. Squinting at Vicol, the boss stretched out his hand and trembled: "Hurry up." ”

"Damn...... You're a little too expensive, aren't you?" Grudging his money bag with a reluctant face, Vicol said angrily: "It's completely blackmail!"

"When you came in, didn't you see that Lao Tzu didn't have a sign?" too lazy to talk nonsense, the boss retorted proudly: "This store is a black store, what's the point of blackmailing you? Besides, I can warn you in advance that it's very expensive, don't blame me for not taking it seriously." If you have the ability, you will find the steward to take me off, or you will take the money honestly. ”

"......" was speechless, and Vicol was stunned for a while, but still with an unwilling expression, he took out a silver coin and stuffed it into the man who was exercising blackmail in the open: "Give! ”

"I can't find it. Pushing the silver coin back, the boss said neatly, "Take the right one, I'm too lazy to make change." ”

That's a complete contradiction...... Seeing Vicol finish giving the money with a resentful face, the elf asked softly in order to ease the atmosphere: "Boss, aren't you going to see Black Ice?"

"What's so nice about that?" snorted, the boss shook his head in disdain: "I really laughed at the sight of a group of two hundred and five squeezing into the dock and desperately trying to get close to the black smoke." ”

This topic seemed to make Vicol even more depressed...... Looking apologetically at Vicol, the elf hurriedly offered to get back to business after the boss left. However, Vicol made a "stop" gesture and quietly pointed to the two who were still talking: "What you're going to ask next may be a little sensitive, right? ”

No wonder he was suspicious. The two had already finished their food and didn't order a drink. It's easy to misunderstand that it's eavesdropping...... Leaning over slightly, the elf caught the two of them in the corner of his eye: "I'll be careful, Vicor." I'm sure you will too, just speak as quietly as possible, I'm confident in my hearing. ”

"This ......" seemed to hesitate, and Vicol was silent for a moment, constantly touching his hand to his chest. Noticing his habitual movements, the elf's gaze focused on the silver chain, and suddenly felt a little familiar.
