Chapter 83: The Night of the Full Moon (Part II)
There was a fire burning in the house, and it seemed to be even colder at night.
The servant took out the coals from the stove and put them in a tall iron vessel, and made a chimney-like shape on the top, and carried one for everyone present.
Sitting next to this kind of stove will make your body hot.
In addition to the people who usually eat at Lucifergus's house, there is also Lucia this time, Lucia seems to be not used to sitting in this kind of aristocratic seat, and if she doesn't eat anything, a servant will bring her, and almost everything except Wang Chu's own plate is a small amount of food.
A plate is a little bit, and after eating, another dish is served, and in order to maintain the temperature of the food, a small cart with hot water is pushed behind.
"We'll clean it up for you, miss. A servant stood respectfully beside Lucia, and the two spoonfuls of meat she had just finished were taken away and served with a new and another staple dish.
Lucia swallowed, and was withdrawn just after eating the taste.
looked at Wang Chu with a grudge pouting, why was its plate full.
Don't look at me, the entire Lucy Fergus family is full of food for me, and I give as much food as I want, so no matter what kind of food is large enough, and there are few vegetarian foods, Wang Chu is transformed into a giant bear or a cheetah to eat, and his mouth is often full of soup.
"Eat more, do you have a classmate coming to the house, Lias, you have to take good care of your classmate. Julian seemed to be happy, the two sisters rarely brought their friends to the house, and I don't know how long it was back to the last time.
And this person he has seen, in the last academy competition, he was a dark horse, his ability was not strong, but his fighting skills were incomparable, and the entire academy almost did not find anyone with the same ability as her.
During the meal, Julian asked Lucia several times about the situation at home.
But they all said that it was in the west, and the specific location was only a rough one, and Julian was a soldier, not a traveler, and many places had only been seen on the map, and he hadn't really been there, so he really didn't know the town that the other party was talking about.
It's probably a small town to the west.
The western part of the continent is dotted with many small countries, and it is impossible for Julian to remember all of them in all places.
The Asta Empire is the largest country in the surrounding area, and many small countries are within its protection, so Hajar City, as a large city in the western part of the empire, should have people from these countries coming.
"Thank you, General Julian. Lucia returned the salute.
"Alas, don't call me General, you're a classmate of Lias, just call me Grandpa like her...... Hahaha...... "Julian is a soldier, and he doesn't have too many aristocratic tempers.
Lucia blushed and glanced at Lias next to her.
Nodding.
"Okay, Yuri...... Grandfather. It seemed to be the first time he spoke, and his voice was much quieter than usual.
"Hahaha......" Julian laughed.
"Okay, okay, you can come to the house with Lias more in the future, the academy is too cold and it is uncomfortable to live in winter. "The old guy has rarely laughed like this, and he doesn't seem to have seen it in Wang Chu for so long since he came here.
........................
After dinner, Julian left alone, although he had already withdrawn from the army, when it seemed that many things the military headquarters would still come to tell him that he was busy with work every day.
This is probably the reason why the declining Lucifergus family can still gain a foothold among the nobility of Hajar City.
"You old general, he ...... No, is it grandpa, is he usually like this?" Lucia asked.
There are only two sisters and Lucia left in the restaurant, and of course Wang Chu is also there.
After eating a full meal, he went to the warm water next to him to drink water, which was boiled by melting ice cubes, and had a special smell, and the snow was not very clean in the first place, but it was not so concerned in times of water shortage.
"Grandpa is almost always like this, he is busy until late every day, and he doesn't know what he's doing, so he doesn't have to worry about him. The other party called his grandfather, and Emir was not angry, it seems that the relationship between the three of them is even better than he imagined.
"We don't care much about grandpa's work, so we don't have to worry about that. Lias said.
Hehe, you really don't know, even your grandfather secretly raised a monster that the two sisters probably don't know.
Thinking of the monster under the dungeon, it was the ugliest of all the creatures Wang Chu had ever seen.
"Let's go, let's go back...... Come to Cam. Emile pulled the two of them and looked at himself who was still sitting beside him.
Originally, at this time, Lias should have been reading a book, and when she was in a daze, because of Lucia's joining, the three women talked until late, and they had to pull themselves to talk.
Go away, go away! I get annoyed when I see a woman.
Emile looked at the white fluffy hat on Lucia's head.
"Sister Lucia, why do you always wear a hat? She said that Wang Chu noticed that the other party grabbed his hat violently, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it.
Lias patted her sister and gestured with her eyes.
Don't keep asking about this topic.
Lucia smiled.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's a custom in our hometown, and unmarried girls can't be taken off. ”
The two sisters nodded as if they didn't understand, it turned out that there was such a strange custom, and Emir wanted to continue to ask, but the doubts in her heart were temporarily suppressed when she looked at her sister's eyes.
The three of them didn't rest until late that night, and Wang Chu was forced to listen to their conversation.
Finally rested, a few people tossed so much, now the sleepiness is gone, get up and look out the window, foggy. Because the temperature inside is high, you can't see the outside from the windows.
He wiped the mist from above, and it was dark outside the window except for the courtyard, and the large moonlight still shone on the ground, and the snow was a little lighter at night.
It was cold underfoot, and it was cold near the window in the room despite the temperature.
Go to sleep, tomorrow is another boring day.
He ran to the bed in the small basket, and was just about to fall asleep when he heard a sudden noise outside the window.
The sound sounded like that of a wild beast.
"The inhabitants of Hajar City, now all the doors are closed, the windows are closed, and the signal lights are lit in their homes...... There have been some emergencies and we ask for your cooperation. "This voice is old and energetic, and the direction of listening should be from the Mage Tower.
Are you from the Wizards' Guild?
Why do you have to give such an order so late?
The sound echoed over the city three times at night, before Lias rushed to her feet.
There was a knock on the door.
"Miss, Miss...... Get up. The lord told everyone to assemble in the hall, and now is it. The servant knocked anxiously at the door, and the old man in his mouth should be Julian.
What's going on, why is it so urgent.
Wang Chu got up again, and he saw that all the lights in the city were turned on in an instant.
Especially in the high-rise mage towers, the light is as bright as a remote lamp, and the entire city can be illuminated in a loop.
