Chapter 190: Acquaintances
All the way to the onlookers, the brother and sister came to the city gate.
At this time, the city gate was under martial law because of the need to welcome the old Marquis of Latour, but there were a lot of people, and many vendors set up their stalls early, wanting to take the opportunity to make a profit.
"What are you looking at?" Stopping at the city gate, Luna looked at Jack, who was about to turn his head into the city every now and then.
"I seem to see an acquaintance. Jack pursed his lips.
"Acquaintance?here?upstairs?" Luna looked at Jack in surprise, this is a civilian area, ordinary nobles will only pass by, and will not stay here for a long time, and Jack theoretically speaking, this is the first time to leave the royal court, where did the acquaintance come from?
Could it be that some aristocrat chartered a roadside tavern or restaurant to watch the excitement?
"No, it's the side of the road...... Do you smell it?" said Jack, twitching his nose.
"What kind of smell on the side of the road?" Luna sniffled subconsciously, only to smell the smell of a mixed orc, and the smell of oil smoke coming from the tavern, restaurant, and various food stalls behind her.
"Grilled fish!" Jack twitched his nose with eagerness.
"Grilled fish?!" Luna couldn't help but look back.
She looked past the two columns of guards behind her, and really saw the corner of a grilled fish stall, but from her perspective, the boss standing behind the stall happened to be blocked by the city wall, and only a bronze forearm could be seen, "Do you know him?"
"It should be acquaintance, you wait for me. ”
With that, Jack rolled over and slid off the back of the cheese, and before Luna could speak, he ran towards the grilled fish stand.
"Why are you stunned, chase after you!" Luna urged as she looked at Jack, who was running away, and at the guards, who were obviously not able to react.
"Yes!" the guards responded in unison, and then, after the captain's order, they all turned back, and the end of the team changed to the leader.
"Come back, just go with the two!What are you all going to do with you?!" Luna helped her forehead, Jack just went to see, not to fight, what kind of trouble is this?
On the other side, Jack had already passed through the crowd that had automatically dispersed, rushed to the grilled fish stall, and looked at the orc who was looking for money for the guests in surprise, "Boss, it's really you!"
"yes, it's me...... This guest wants to order ...... Uh, Your Highness, Your Highness......" After seeing Jack's outfit, the owner of the grilled fish stall was shocked and hurriedly bent down.
"Hurry up, it's me!" Jack was slightly stunned, looked down at his clothes, and stepped forward to support the boss a little uncomfortably.
"I, I know it's Your Highness, but I'm in the way? The boss who straightened up looked at the two cold-faced royal court guards who ran after Jack, and the whole person was a little frightened.
"Oh no! I just want two skewers of grilled fish, the kind I ate at your place last time, for my sister to try. ”
Jack scratched his head, looking at the boss differently than last time, although he looked a little confused, he still said.
When the owner of the grilled fish stall heard this, although he ignored what he didn't do last time, he didn't ignore Jack's intention, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed a few skewers of grilled fish, but he didn't know whether it was handed over to Jack or the guards behind him for a while.
Holding the grilled fish, although his limbs were a little stiff, but in the end, he was a businessman for many years, and he kept greeting, "Your Highness, please." Your Highness please. ”
Seeing this, Jack was a little disappointed and took the grilled fish with his own hands, and then turned sullenly and walked towards the city gate.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked as she looked at Jack, who was visibly unhappy as he returned with a handful of grilled fish.
"Oh, it's delicious. Jack held the grilled fish and handed it to Luna, picking the largest one himself, and took a few bites before he said sullenly, "The boss doesn't seem to know me anymore." ”
"When did you meet him?" Luna glanced at the road in the distance, and saw that there was no shadow of her grandfather and his party, so she pulled the reins and leaned back, finally seeing the owner of the grilled fish stall.
He was just a very ordinary orc, because from a distance he could only see his dark brown hair, flat head, and bronzed skin, but it was impossible to tell the specific race of the man.
"I met Timmy and I when we ran out of the castle that year. The owner is very nice. But he doesn't seem to know me anymore. Jack took another bite of the grilled fish, and although the taste of the grilled fish had not changed, he felt that it was not as delicious as he remembered.
"He sets up a stall, and he sees so many people every day, where will he remember you......" Luna heard the slight twitch of the corners of her mouth, and lowered her head to nibble on the grilled fish, not thinking it was delicious, but because the boss was an acquaintance of Jack, she still nibbled on the whole one.
"By the way, did you give the money?" Luna asked as she looked at Jack, who was eating fish as he was back on top of the cheese, discarding the skewers and fish bones in his hand, and pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
"I don't have any money. Jack looked at Luna as a matter of course.
"Did you give anyone any money?" Luna looked back at the two guards who had followed Jack earlier.
The two guards were also a little stunned, but unlike Jack, who didn't know how to spend money and didn't realize the specific role of money, they obviously felt that Luna's proposal to give money was a bit of a surprise, and it made Luna feel like she had nowhere to throw away the money.
"Send the boss a silver coin. Luna took a deep breath and looked at the captain of the guard, speaking in a commanding tone.
In her opinion, the boss's fish were not worth a single silver coin, but the man's kindness to Jack back then was worth it.
"Your Highness, it's just a few grilled fish, and His Highness should feel honored if he is willing to eat his grilled fish!"
The captain of the guard subconsciously touched the small bag pinned to his waist, and looked at Luna and said with a strong voice.
"I don't want to move you, or do you think it's not your honor for me to let you give money?!" Luna's face turned cold in an instant.
"No, it's not ......" the captain of the guard hung his head tightly.
"Go back to Liya and ask for it, I will pay you back this silver coin! But if you let me know that you gave even one copper coin less, or turn around and ask the boss for the money back, you can go to the border city with your whole family! Don't think about coming back in this life! If you don't believe it, you can try!"
Luna was slightly annoyed, watching the reaction of the captain of the guards, if she still couldn't see that these guards didn't even want to give people a copper coin, she would be blind and stupid!
It was still what she saw, and where she didn't, she didn't know what the guards were going to do with their armor.
Luna felt she had to talk to her dad about this when she got back.
Don't say that she is making a fuss, she is not the kind of person who is jealous and hateful, if this happened in the commercial area, in the kind of store with a background, not to mention a few copper coins, that is, gold and silver coins, if you don't give it, she won't be so angry.
But for ordinary people, a copper coin is a loaf of bread, and this handful of grilled fish is dozens of copper coins, which is the meal of ordinary people for two or three days!
Luna really doesn't want to get used to this stinky problem of bullying civilians!
