Xiao Yi and Zode walked very chicly, and the rest of the people at the banquet were a little embarrassed, especially Eric, he was yelled so loudly by the Duke just now, which was something that had not been encountered in more than ten years, even if he knew that his son was robbed under his escort the day before yesterday, he was not so angry.

"My lord, I ......," he said tremblingly, but did not know what to say, while the duke smiled slightly:

"Okay, look at you like that! Didn't you say that you were acting just now! Didn't you hate him to death, why are you worried that I will order him to be killed. You don't believe me?"

Erikton was terrified, knelt down on one knee and said urgently:

"Master, my subordinates don't dare, I'm ...... I ......"

Duke Parker raised his hand for him to stand up and speak, then let out a long sigh.

"Indeed, what he has done is enough to punish him for capital crimes, but it is not without reason, of course, if it weren't for the fact that they can always hold the right measure every time they act, today Your Majesty will speak for him, and I will also want his head to move.

Do you and I have to kill those people, I'm not so ruthless. Among them, there are also the warriors who were left on the battlefield by our country back then, and they were ruthlessly abandoned just for the ridiculous face of all countries.

I can't imagine what it's like to be displaced for many years, but it's clear that they shouldn't bear the consequences, but it's a pity that I can't publicly pardon them from my standpoint, even Your Majesty can't, so their encounter with this kid is their creation, otherwise it will end miserably sooner or later. ”

Seeing that the duke fell into embarrassment, everyone was silent.

"By the way, you've fought him, what do you think of him?" said Duke Parker when he suddenly asked about Eric Zod's force.

"Well, I'm completely at a disadvantage in the woods outside the city, there's no way around it, and few people in that environment can get a head start on thieves. If it's a one-on-one match, I have a seven-point chance of winning, but it's extremely difficult to catch him!

However, Xiao Yi is a very special exception, with his knowledge and use of magic items and potions, I consider myself not an opponent at all. ”

"Your relationship with him seems to be pretty good!" Hearing the duke's words, Eric only felt a tightness in his heart, could it be that he was too close to Xiao Yi, and even made the duke dissatisfied with him just because he was rude to his master!

"Relax, I didn't say you did something wrong! The thief of the eighth order was a buddy, and it was a shame that he could think of it. It seems that I him off today, and it probably won't work to ask someone directly, but it's a good way for you to have a good relationship with him.

It's really not good, and it's a great benefit to borrow his people to train in the army, and those boys. ”

After speaking, he set his eyes on the doorway, and seeing that Eric was still stunned and did not move, the manager Davis secretly reached out and pulled his sleeve.

Eric secretly complained to himself about what was wrong today, and he even ignored such an obvious hint!

Little Pete had a sly smile on his face, and the Duke deliberately kept a straight face, and after a few moments, Duke Parker couldn't pretend to be any longer and smiled and stretched out his hands to Little Pete.

Little Pete, on the other hand, jumped off the chair and threw himself into his father's arms.

"What's the matter father, I said that Brother Xiao is not that kind of person, now you can rest assured!" Pete, who pouted with a small mouth, was full of coquettishness, like a little rooster who had won a fight.

"Okay, good, it's my father who blames you, you're right, I'm wrong, that's all right!"

"Then you don't object to me going to play with Brother Xiao?"

"No objections! You can go whenever you want!"

"Oh!

Looking at the elated look on Little Pete's face, Duke Parker looked a little sad. He said quietly, "Pete, my child. Since your mother died, I have rarely seen you so happy, I have to ask every friend you make, I have to meddle in everything you do, I want to educate you as an adult, let you know how to behave and do things, but it deprives you of freedom and happiness, I am not a very good father!

...... You...... Do you blame me?"

The little face in his arms opened his sparkling eyes, and said to the Duke very solemnly: "Please don't say that, father, I know that you are doing this to protect me and educate me, and I have never blamed you, because I am your child and I have to go through all this." It's just that I really miss my mother and want him to watch me grow up and make her proud of me......"

"My child!" hugged the thin body in his arms tightly, and the corners of the Duke's eyes moistened.

"Father, please don't be sad, everything will be fine! Brother Xiao has been recognized by you, I can go to play with him at any time, I am already very happy!"

"Well, everything will be fine!"

Returned to the hotel for a night's rest, the next day Xiao Yi began to figure out how to open his own restaurant, originally he only wanted to open a magic props shop, it didn't take much effort, a small room was enough, and there was not too much decoration inside, as for the goods, they were all made by himself, and the policy of the high-end route at least didn't have to worry about the lack of production capacity, even if he only sold the inventory in the space bank, it could last for three years and five years.

But the restaurant is not good, there must be a large enough storefront, there must be a passable decoration, and there must be no shortage of guys who provide services.

Now there are only two people, him and Zode, and there are a lot of things to prepare, but Xiao Yi has never been a person who retreats from difficulties, otherwise he would not have grown from a game novice to a leading businessman.

The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, the plan has to be taken step by step, anyway, there is no heavy debt, and now his concept of the preciousness of time is getting weaker and weaker.

When it was time to eat again, Xiao Yi personally cooked four dishes and one soup: stir-fried broccoli, sweet and sour tenderloin, shredded pork with winter bamboo shoots, fried chicken wings, and beef consommé.

When the dishes are on the table, Zode still eats very boldly, and since Xiao Yi showed his cooking skills before, there are two more shopkeepers and hotel chefs on the table every day. Xiao Yi welcomed this, and Zode was very reluctant, but with Xiao Yi's approval, he couldn't say anything, so he could only do his best to send things to his mouth during each meal.

The other two round foodies were naturally not to be outdone, and the three big men were very happy to grab something to eat around the table.

"What a good thing, eat so vigorously!" A familiar voice sounded at the door, and when I saw that it was Eric standing at the door with little Pete, the boss quickly got up to greet him.

Little Pete jumped up to Xiao Yi, leaned his head against the table and sniffled.

"It's so fragrant!Brother Xiao, can I eat some!"

"Hehe, welcome, welcome! There are more people to eat. The proprietor hastened to have two sets of cutlery added, but he himself and the innkeeper did not dare to return to their seats, the delicacies were indeed attractive, but he would not be so stupid as to forget the number of courtesies and want to eat at the same table with the duke's son.

Eric and Pete, who had tasted the novel food in front of them, were full of praise for its taste, and Zod didn't care whether the other party was a very high-status person or not, he only knew that there were two people who came to grab food with him, and he started more and more quickly.

Eric kept reminding Zod to behave in front of the young master, and after receiving a sneering response, the two began to pinch each other until they almost turned the dinner table into a battlefield. Although Zod, who is a thief, moves flexibly and quickly, Eric, who is a swordsman, is even more vigorous, and directly uses his arm against Zord's hand holding a fork to release brute force, which is useless no matter how flexible the means are.

After a full meal, little Pete was very satisfied, and he didn't care about the aristocratic dining etiquette to prop up his little belly, which was really an unprecedented experience. The two of them knew why Xiao Yi and Zuo De were depressed in the face of the dishes in the house last night, it was really not because they were nervous and lost their appetite, they had eaten such delicious things, and that kind of light and tasteless banquet dishes were afraid that they were difficult to swallow at all. It was even more surprising to hear that these dishes were all made by Xiao Yi, who was enough to find a place in the imperial kitchen of the Imperial Palace.

Of course, this is just a way of appreciating Xiao Yi's versatility, and Xiao Yi's identity as an alchemy master alone is enough to become the object of any empire's scrambling efforts, isn't that a profession that is a thousand times more promising than being a cook.

But when they heard that Xiao Yi really wanted to use his own skills to open a restaurant, they felt that it was a waste of talent, of course, this was someone's decision, and outsiders had no right to interfere, so it was normal for them to secretly slander whether they were masters or not.

Chatting and chatting, Xiao Yi suddenly thought that since Duke Parker was an extremely powerful existence in the empire, it might be much easier to find their help, so Xiao Yi asked Eric if there was a way to find a very good blacksmith and carpenter.

This doesn't need little Pete to speak, Eric directly said that it was no problem at all, and was about to get up and take Xiao Yi there, not that he was so anxious, but he had eaten a lot just now, and now he urgently needed to find an activity to eliminate food.

After a long period of turbulence, the carriage stopped in front of a very large building, and the chimneys on the roof emitted black smoke, adding a bit of a thick atmosphere to the dark exterior walls.

Just when Xiao Yi sighed that this building was so imposing, he saw a line of big characters written on the sign at the door, "Imperial Armaments Manufacturing Administration"!
