"It's better to fill your stomach first. "Inside the estate in Taiu, dinner is underway.

The Arlette religion did not prohibit meat consumption, and the Templars ate happily.

The docile maids gently advised: "Lord Paladin, eat more, these are all local products here, and the flavor is still very different from that of Stepburton." ”

Indeed, the chicken here is very fragrant, and it is much more tender and delicious than that that that of the intensively farmed in the City of Fires. The bread is made by hand-roasting the wheat, grinding it into flour and baking it. The potatoes are stewed with starch and some cream, and the whole soup has a great taste.

The Templars thanked Theu for his generosity, and the arrival from Stillberton was a real drain of physical and mental strength.

At the front of the dining room was a stove with a split pine board burning and a crackling spark splash. In the temperatures of the harvest moon, such a warm atmosphere makes people can't help but relax themselves, even the Templar warriors are no exception.

"What's your name?" asked the maid by a Templar.

"I'm Vera, and I'm in charge of food and drink at the Tyu Knights. The maid lowered her head and seemed to be a little shy.

The Templars did not usually have much contact with women, and they were more strict enforcers of ascetic sects. Seeing the maid's shy posture, the samurai themselves unconsciously became red-faced.

"Miss Vera, can you fill me with some more food? It's great to have such warm food in this season. A Templar asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"You should moderate your appetite. His companion unceremoniously noted: "The precepts of self are the most important way to maintain devotion and faith in the true God." ”

The paladin who asked for an extra meal muttered, "I just feel a little nostalgic for the usual cooking in my own house, not for food." Besides, don't you eat to your heart's content?"

Vera looked at the quarrel between these Templars and said with a smile, "Let's put aside the precepts for the time being tonight, it would be a great waste if we didn't finish eating these things." In the teachings of the true God, it is also a very important virtue for the thrift of food, do you say, Lord Paladin?"

Vera's words made people feel very comfortable, as if this person naturally had some affinity.

What a very competent maid......

Under Vera's persuasion, the stubborn among the Paladins also let go of their obsessive opinions.

"Then let's have some more...... "The flavor of tonight is really good, and even the most disciplined paladin can't deny it from a physiological point of view. And since Vera said that if she couldn't finish eating, it would be wasted, and as a strict Templar, she shouldn't do such a thing. "But please don't fill too much, we have to go to bed early in the evening and maintain a good routine. ”

Vera took the plate and said with a smile, "Of course, Paladin-sama, please wait a moment. There won't be much food left, I've calculated the amount for the night, and everyone happens to have some. ”

The leader of the Templars is talking to the Tyu Knights.

Tai Wu is still asking him to eat more, and unlike what he behaved during the day, now Tai Wu has some sense of ownership: "Please use it more, Lord Paladin." ”

The leader shook his head: "I'm going to write a report, time is pressing, I hope to be able to solve this matter after the survey again tomorrow." ”

"You are truly a man who obeys the teachings of the true God. Tai Wu raised his glass, and although there was water in it during the prohibition period, Tai Wu still spoke in a toasting tone.

"I hope you have a good meal tonight, because I still have a lot of things to attend to, so let's go and rest first. Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meals, the knight stood up and clapped his hands. "May life and hope endure. ”

Vera came over and began to clean up the table.

"Thank you for your hospitality, it was a great evening. The paladins stood up: "May the true God and justice be with you." ”

Their taste buds were treated to perfection and everyone was very satisfied.

Why are you a little dizzy...... At this moment, the paladins suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There was no alcohol tonight, neither fruit wine nor high-purity wine, but the Knight of Taiwu offered clean water. However, the Templars felt too dizzy to resist.

"It seems that you are too tired today, so go find a place to rest. The Knight of Theu turned to Vera and said. "Vera, get ready to work. ”

............

Gustav felt that it was really a good choice for him to become the Sword of the Sage.

His movements are light, and as long as he can maintain excellent concentration, he will not be overwhelmed when facing the Spike Demon attack.

Seeing that Amelia had come a long way, Gustav knew it was time to get out of the fray on his own.

No longer entangled with the Spike Demon, Gustav burrowed into the mountain path, where the dense forest made it difficult for the Spike Demon to carry out his actions. He decided to make a detour to the estate of Taiu.

"Did your companion go to Tai'u's manor?" the Spike Demon didn't catch up, it stayed where it was, suppressing its killing intent. "Soon it will be known that it is useless, I am waiting for you, stupid and naïve witcher......"

Gustav ......was a little amused by the Spike Demon in his heart, and he quickly shifted direction and direction in the dense forest, quickly closing the distance between himself and the Spike Demon.

The night wind echoed in Gustav's ears, and the autumn nights were so cool that they even felt a little freezing.

The cool temperatures calmed Gustav from the excitement of escaping the Spike Demon, and he began to enter a calmer state of mind.

"Did your companion go to the manor of Tyur? soon you will know that it is useless, I will wait for you, stupid and naïve witcher......" The Spike Demon's words echoed in Gustav's mind like a replay.

Once, twice, three times......

He meant something!

Gustav's heart pounded.

He had only assumed that the knight was afraid that his reputation would be damaged by the revelation of evil forces in his territory, so he tried his best to suppress this matter. However, if we use the words of the Spike Demon as a benchmark to discuss it, there will be one more option.

That's the worst state of affairs!

If the Tyewu Knight himself is the one in charge of this matter, Amelia's going to the manor now is tantamount to throwing herself into a net!

"The Spike Demon must know something, the Templars are now under control......" Gustav snapped to his senses, his vest soaking wet.

It's too late to go back to Stillburton to find that irresponsible Zell, I'm afraid he's still drunk in the tavern, and he's talking vulgar jokes all over the place.

Gustav was faced with a choice.

Should I run away on my own, or should I rescue Amelia? Now he has been deeply touched to the most authentic and human point in his heart.

"If I run away on my own, of course I can excuse myself afterwards and go to Zell for help, this is the usual practice, and no one can find fault with anything. Gustav stopped, engaged in a battle of ideas.

As long as you flee now, with the speed of Gustav's sword as a sage, you will definitely be able to return to the city of fire. In that case, he will definitely be able to save his life.

"But God knows and I know. ”

Gustav shook his head.

The image of Amelia hugging her knees by the fire emerges, and although she is very dull in some ways, the girl's character is endearing.

Her admiration for Reinhardt, though immature and ignorant, is very sincere, making people realize Amelia's true nature.

When facing the Spike Demon, even though he knew that his strength might not be enough, he still picked up the bow and crossbow and resolutely stepped forward.

"I've lost my friends and loved ones in the accident in my hometown, and I don't want to go through the same thing a second time. These were the words Amelia had spoken before they parted.

"Even if others don't know, I know it myself. ”

Gustav tightened his grip on his dagger and cut a wound in his left hand with the blade, soaking the blade with the blood of the witcher.

"If I escape at this time, my whole person will be infected by this cowardice in the future, all my tenacity, all my bravery, and all my beliefs will be dragged down, and it will be difficult to maintain King Kong's courageous self-progress. ”
