Chapter 262: A Chance Encounter in a Noodle Restaurant
It's still a familiar taste, it's still a familiar smell.
Unfortunately, this familiarity will soon be gone.
Roland and Gray walked into the noodle shop called "Happiness", which was their final goodbye to the Two Moon City. In the future, I'm afraid Roland will never set foot here again in his life.
Gray sat down across from Roland, and while looking at the menu, he yelled at the mother-in-law in the store, "I want braised noodles with meat sauce, two servings!" Then, he glanced at Roland again, and said, "By the way, give this guy a copy too." ”
Although my mother-in-law's hair has turned gray, her body bones are still very neat. She quickly put the three parts together, but gave Gray a strange look, and then asked with a smile, "Oh, lad." What about the guy you came with last time? He hasn't been here in a long time!"
It seems that the mother-in-law did not know the news that Roland was "dead".
Gray glanced at Roland silently, propped his chin in his hand, and explained, "Oh, do you mean him......? I went to a far place, and I guess I won't be able to come back for a while. ”
"Gee, that's pretty bad. The boy went so far away, and he didn't know if he could live there......" said the mother-in-law, as if to herself, and went on to do other things.
Roland only felt that his mood had become a little depressed. In order to hide the ups and downs of his heart, Roland had to stir the fork in his hand to divert his attention.
"What, what's in your mind?" Gray looked at Roland with interest and said, "Don't be too upset, people here don't remember you, and there are other places where we can show our talents." When the time comes, we will be promoted to high positions in the Holy Court step by step, and those who looked down on you in the past will not have to line up one by one......?
"I'm leaving the Holy Court. Roland interrupted Gray and bit off the noodles.
"What are you talking about?" Gray's eyes were about to fall in shock, and his face was full of disbelief: "When did this happen? We've only been joining for less than a month!"
"I fell out with Dingenier. Our character is really not suitable to stay in the same place...... The purpose of the Holy Court also seems to be different from what I imagined at the beginning. In addition, the purpose of my joining the Holy Court in the first place was nothing more than to leave the Rand. Now it seems that this reason is not necessary...... When this is done and I return to the Holy Tribunal, I will submit my resignation. The world is big, can there be no place for me?" Roland smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Ugh......" Gray rolled his eyes helplessly, trying to say something. As a result, before he could say anything, the door of the store was slammed open. A gust of cold wind suddenly entered the house, making Roland shiver.
Roland looked back with some displeasure to see who was so proud, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar face.
It's Augustine's face.
Roland was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and pulled the brim of his hat lower, trying to pretend that he didn't see anything. However, he still couldn't help but think: Augustine, the demon, didn't stay in the kingdom and stay with the contractor, what did he come here for?
Of course, Roland's little moves were all in vain.
Augustine had apparently noticed both of them a long time ago. Because Gray, a guy who has no eyesight, actually greeted Augustine.
That's right, Gray was actually greeting a demon, and his tone was as if he had known each other for a long time.
Augustine looked around. Business in the noodle shop seems to be doing well today, so there are no more vacancies in the shop.
Seeing this, Gray suddenly kicked Roland hard. Roland lost his center of gravity all of a sudden, and his body couldn't help but fall to the side of the bench, and it was not easy to stabilize his body. But in this way, the right side of Roland's chair is vacant.
Gray pointed to Roland's right and beckoned, "Augustine, there's a vacant seat here!"
After listening to Gray's words, Augustine really didn't dislike it, and actually sat down next to Roland.
Roland suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.
After all, Augustine is a demon, and Roland is a god. So although Augustine's aura was very weak, it still made Roland feel a little uncomfortable when he was so close to Roland like he was now.
Gray saw Roland's face change, so he asked with a concerned face, "What's wrong with you?"
Roland didn't bother to pay attention to him, just turned around stiffly.
Augustine glanced at Roland lazily, just holding his chin, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and suddenly said, "Let's have a red stewed cream corn and celery soup." ”
"Okay!" the mother-in-law began to prepare the ingredients in a hurry, but Roland felt a little surprised: Come to a noodle restaurant to eat and order a soup?
Gray glanced at Augustin with interest and said with a smile, "I said you just came to the noodle restaurant to drink soup, and you don't need to come to something else?"
"No, get used to it. Augustine replied succinctly.
"That's really strange, is this soup so delicious? Mother-in-law, bring me a copy of that red stewed soup!" Gray held his fork with a big grin, and laughed again: "I said Augustin, listen to what you mean, you still come here often to eat? Can't you see it? With your usual stinky fart and handsome character, you would come to such a place close to the people, oops!? Are you tired of the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace? Why don't you bring the king with you?"
Augustine glanced at Gray impatiently, and spat out only two words: "Shut up." It was clear that Augustine was annoyed by Gray's croaking.
Roland only felt like he was on pins and needles at this time.
Augustin probably also noticed Roland's abnormality, he seemed to inadvertently glance back at Roland, and said, "What, it's just the two of you today, not with your brother?"
Before Roland could figure out how to speak, Gray had already replied before him: "You said Dingenier? He has a big responsibility, so naturally he has more important things to do, how can there be such a small character like us so free?"
Augustin didn't look at Gray either, but said with some disapproval: "He's busy? I don't think that's possible, right? I think he's ...... right now."
"Hey, here's the soup!" Gray interrupted Augustine at this point. He took the bowl and threw it directly in front of Augustine, then took his own bowl, and said, "Taste it, it's not good when it's cold." As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and scooped it up.
Gray scooped the red liquid with a spoon, sniffed it, frowned slightly, and said, "Does this taste good? At least it smells...... It's really not ......," he scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and almost threw it up. The final evaluation is: good sour.
At this moment, Augustine's face was completely different. His expression was a little serious, and his eyes were a little deep when he looked at the soup, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It was only after a while that Augustine began to take a few sips. His face was still solemn, and there was no change.
Gray had a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you really think this...... What is it about the devil's tongue that can be drunk with relish? Tell me what you tasted?"
"Sour. Augustine glanced at Gray expressionlessly, then grinned and said, "I can't imagine that I haven't drunk it for many years, this ...... The soup is getting more and more sour, could it be that the woman is getting older and her sense of taste has deteriorated? It's really harder to drink than before......
"I know it's hard to drink, but you're not looking for abuse yourself!" Gray said a little unpleasantly, and then said stingily: "The one I ordered is yours, you liar!"
To be honest, Roland was a little nervous when Gray said this. Because Roland was worried that Gray's unreasonableness would arouse Augustine's dissatisfaction. If he is upset, he will take action...... The consequences are unimaginable.
But fortunately, Augustine didn't seem to care about Gray's ridicule at all, although he also commented that it was unpalatable, but he still continued to drink the red stew or something soup wholeheartedly, and he didn't want to deal with Gray at all, which made Roland a little more relieved. But overall, Roland didn't have a pleasant lunch, because he didn't eat anything at all!
