Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Halfling Girl
A lot of things smashed down with soup and water, and Hiko, who didn't want to be embarrassed, could only dodge to the side in a panic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And as soon as he jumped two steps away, a figure that was also quite petite for him bumped directly into him.
"My dinner, my dinner?"
Like a puppy that has seen food, the petite halfling girl waved her slender little hand and grabbed at the roast venison that was still lingering in the air. Her attention seemed so focused on the venison that she didn't even see Hiko behind her.
So, when she was almost rushing to catch the piece of venison, she and Hiko also turned into a rolling gourd, rolling on the ground several times. And this naturally made the nameless fire in the heart of Yan, who had suffered an unjustified disaster. He subconsciously wanted to give the guy who had fallen over him a good look, but when he turned his head and noticed the halfling girl lying on top of him, he couldn't get angry.
Halflings are a somewhat strange race. They are petite and optimistic in nature, and look like human children. Even the largest halfling looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old human girl at most, and it's a particularly small type.
Although in terms of lifespan, halflings generally do not live very long, and most of them only live to be in their sixties. But when the Mother of Life created them, she gave them another gift, and that was youth.
No matter how old they are, even if they are aging halflings who are approaching, they don't look much different from when they were younger. They can almost always look at their most youthful appearance, and it is difficult for others to tell their exact age unless they deliberately grow a beard, or in exceptional cases where their hair color turns pale as they age.
This also led to Hiko treating her as a child the moment he saw the halfling girl on his body. A child of eight or nine years old.
For a girl of this age, it is impossible for Hiko to spread fire. So he could only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart and reluctantly squeeze out an ugly smile. Said to the halfling girl in front of him.
"Are you alright, little girl?"
"Kolori's dinner?" said to him, with a wail like a small animal, the halfling girl gave Hiko a pitiful look with tears in her eyes, and then said to him. "I'm so sorry, little brother. Kolori is just too clumsy. I'm sorry to bump into you. ā
As she spoke, she quickly climbed off Hiko's body. At the same time, he stretched out his white and tender little hand that was full of oil stains, and slapped it vigorously on Hiko's body.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Got dust all over your body. Kolori, I've got you cleaned!"
Watch as she holds the oily venison in one hand and pats it on her clothes with the other. Hiko's face immediately turned a little ugly. Although this dress is not good, it has been worn for so many years. He couldn't bear to let it be ruined like this girl in front of him.
So he immediately turned sideways and dodged her claws. At the same time, he pressed her head, separating her from himself at a safe distance.
"Stop, little girl. You're just going to get messed up like that. ā
Hearing Yan say this, the halfling girl still fluttered her little hands and feet twice unwillingly, and then gave up the struggle in despair.
"I'm sorry Kolori is clumsy. You can't do anything!"
As she spoke, she was as round as an apple, and her little face, which was a little baby fat, suddenly showed a gloomy and sad look. And looking at her expression, Qiong, who had been watching the joke, immediately walked up, slapped Hiko's arm off, and then pulled the halfling girl behind him, and said to Hiko.
"You're really enough, what kind of ability is it to bully such an ignorant child?"
"Ignorant child?" Hearing this, Hiko immediately turned his gaze back and forth between Dome and the halfling girl. Then immediately a sneering expression appeared. "Qiong, you're talking about yourself. ā
As soon as he heard this, Qiong immediately snorted coldly, and his eyebrows rose straight up like a sharp sword.
"You dare to say such things to me, Yan, are your bones itching again, and you want me to treat you well. ā
"Hey, that's interesting. Don't forget, who started stirring up trouble first!"
As soon as Qiong's attitude is tough, Hiko naturally can't be weak. It's like sworn enemies who are not born to deal with each other, and as soon as they say two words, they are tense again, as if they are about to fight.
And when he saw this appearance, most of the guys in the tavern who knew him immediately shouted.
"Hey, Yan, you stinky boy, you actually have a lot of skills, and you dare to argue with women. ā
"Give her some color and let her know that you have a few hits. ā
"Don't be afraid, hit her. I'll bet two furs, and you'll win!"
People who can say such things are basically not afraid to make a big deal out of it. They were drinking happily, and naturally they didn't mind coming back to another aftershow to make themselves happier.
Hearing their words, Hiko and Dome immediately glanced at each other, and turned their heads away in unison, temporarily dispelling the solemn atmosphere between each other.
These two guys are the kind of arrogant people who make them look like monkeys, which is basically impossible. Therefore, they would rather deal with each other's conflicts in private than act in front of so many people at this time in front of their shouting.
Seeing such a situation, the halfling girl who was pulled behind her by the dome rolled her eyes, but the whole person immediately rushed out, rushed to the middle of the two people, waved her little hand, and shouted anxiously.
"Don't fight, don't fight. Kolori tells you that it's not good to fight. If you break something here, you'll lose money. Is there anything going on, let's sit down and have a bite to eat, and just say no?"
When she said this, it immediately reminded Hiko of his hobby of becoming a person. This is a fun-loving race, and at the same time, they also have a very special talent, which is food. Almost every halfling is a good cook, just as elves love art and dwarves love blacksmithing. Halflings love nothing more than to spend their time on food.
As a result, the best chefs in the world are basically from this race. And this makes them habitually hang on their food. There is a proverb in halflings, there is no problem that cannot be solved by eating, and if there is, then there must be something wrong with what you eat. And right now, the performance of this halfling girl named Kolori is a very vivid demonstration of the characteristics of a halfling for Hiko.
No one can put a straight face on such a cute little guy. Despite knowing that the girl named Kolori may be much older than she looks. But Hikoko still can't help but see her as a cute child. So at that moment, he waved his hand at the dome and said.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to meet you in general. Let's just uncover it this time. If there is a next time, I promise it won't be as easy as it is now. ā
"You're talking about yourself. With a cold snort, Qiongya raised an eyebrow at Hiko, revealing a disdainful expression. "Let you go for the time being, and next time you will be made crying and begging for mercy from me. ā
The two of you, you and I, for tat, also made most of the Nord people present happy.
Although compared to the halfling girl, Hikowa Qiong, who was half a body taller than her, already looked like an adult. But for the tall brother Gui Nord, these two are just children who have not yet grown. And looking at the two children like adults, you threaten me, I mock you and make a fuss, they will inevitably have a funny feeling.
And watching the two of them talking and talking, they looked like they were going to fight. The halfling girl opened her mouth wide and swallowed the venison in her hand. Then he stretched out his oily little hand and grabbed the two directly, muttering to them indistinctly.
"Woooo Woooooooooooooo
"Swallow it in and then speak!"
The halfling girl's performance was really a little cute, so that in the face of such a little guy, Hiko really didn't have any temper, so he could only say this to her with a wry smile.
Hearing Hiko's words, the halfling girl immediately swallowed the contents of her mouth vigorously, and then called out tenderly to the two of them.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Kolori is in for a treat, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to sit down and eat properly?"
The halfling girl behaved eagerly and sincerely, coupled with her cute appearance like Lori, which naturally made it difficult for Hiko and Dome to refuse. So soon, they were dragged to the table by this little guy.
"The tavern doesn't look great, but the chefs are very good. Feel free to order it, Kolori has a treat today!"
The halfling girl patted her flat chest and said to Hiko. And I don't know why, Hiko always feels that this little guy always has a feeling of pain when he says such things. This immediately made him think of teasing him. So at the moment, he said to the little guy and the dome.
"The owner of this tavern is a Nord, but the head chef in the back kitchen is a walrus. His seafood dinner was excellent. In particular, the fried lobster with Wild's honey and the raw fish stew, which is a specialty of the walrus people, are definitely at the level of a chef. It's a good value, but it's definitely worth the money. After eating these, it is definitely a treat to have two more magic freezing dishes. ā
Every time Yan said a word, the halfling girl's face turned white, and when he finished speaking, the halfling girl showed a pitiful look, and then took out a small money bag from her body, and poured the contents on the table in one go. Said timidly to Hiko.
"That's all there is to Kolori, are you enough?"
