Chapter 42: First Stop
"Hey......" The soft jade body in his arms suddenly shrank, and he suddenly hugged the air, and instantly understood that he was carried away in a hurry, and he didn't grasp the balance and scared the other party, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Don't change, I won't make trouble, okay?"
"Meow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The girl who became a fox suddenly felt a great sense of security, and smirked proudly, but continued to shrink in his arms and did not run around, not so much trust and closeness, but rather realizing that the other party could not help her with this appearance, and the autumn night was still a little cold.
"Come back soon. Rhodes was so uncomfortable that he hugged the little fox and urged urgently, but she just slowly flicked her tail and pretended to be stupid, without saying anything. "Oh, please. ”
"Uhh The flame in her lower abdomen was burning, and she couldn't wait to immediately turn into an evil slave owner and use the bracelet to teach her to obediently change back into human form and do the overlord's hard bow, but she hesitated for a long time, after all, she just grabbed the other party and tickled and frolicked, and she didn't succeed.
He tried his best to say good things about the night, but Yin'er was unwavering in his stupidity and cuteness, and it was even more exaggerated on the second night: she actually used the strange human lingua franca to say that she would be "seasick" and "disgusting" when she became a human on the ship, so she asked for leave to be on the ship for the past two days and was not responsible for warming the bed. Although he stammered, it was the longest sentence Rhodes had ever heard the little fox girl say, and he knows where she heard this large number of words.
......
In this way, Rhodes spent the day playing sword trials with the likes of Grom and Morfan, and at night he slept with a furry pet and spent a few days on the ship as if it were years old. Everyone would look at each other in surprise and envy when they found out that the little white fox was an orc, but they couldn't guess that Rhodes didn't actually take advantage of the former at all.
On another sunny afternoon, the ships that had been sailing for several days finally arrived at the terminus of the Empire on the northbound canal, and the rickety days came to an end. Rhodes stepped off the board of the boat and stepped on the sturdy earth that he had not seen for a long time, and saw the horses being pulled out of the bottom of the cabin a few meters away, and a hint of crimson reminded him of one thing: he had been chatting with Dieter and them for the past few days on the boat, or thinking about how to eat the little fox, and he had no idea that he had just become the owner of a mare.
Walking over and touching the little mare's long face, the mare still meekly bowed her head and snorted lightly. Luckily, there were people in the caravan who took care of the horses every day, and his "Little Rose" was in good shape.
"Oh my God—" Morfan walked not far from him and stretched long, "Shall we spend the night here tonight, old fellow......?" Where's the man, Dieter, aren't we going to leave today?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Go to town to eat and drink, eat fish for a week, and burp and smell fishy!"
Dieter was supervising the unloading with the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't raise his head, and his angry voice came back from afar: "Where do you like to go, just go back to the Chamber of Commerce before midnight." ”
"Whew......" Morfan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Rod: "Hey, boy, let's go relax and eat some local specialties, will you come along?"
"Relax?" Rod looked at Grom, the Great Swordsman standing behind him with an imposing attitude, not speaking but shrugging. "Go, I'm tired of eating fish, too. ”
"Don't run away with him, Morfan specializes in leading bad young people. Sylna gave her peers a blank look and said something about it.
Morfan snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to refute: "Pauli, and the two of you, are you going?"
The other taciturn captain nodded, while the three behind Sylna looked at their little leader with inquiring eyes, and the only woman in the group sighed, "Forget it, let's go together." ”
***
It is also a port town, this town does not even have more than three floors of buildings, the road leading from the wharf to the living area is also potholed, there is a puddle of water from time to time, and I don't know whether it is the domestic sewage poured out by the residents or the excrement of the livestock, they rode slowly to the door of a tavern, and after leading the horse, after walking through the door, more than ten people immediately occupied half of the tables in the lobby.
The guards pulled the straps around their waists and sat down, Rhodes took a seat by the window, and Grom took the table to the left of his protector, and Sylna sat across from him. Two of Morfan's men shouted at the tavern master for him to serve the special dishes and drinks as soon as possible, and pointed to their captain as well.
The waitresses soon began to bring out some dishes and jars, and deftly began to place them on the several tables occupied by the crowd, and as they passed Rod's table, Morvin raised his hand and slapped one of them on the buttocks, and the waitress screamed, but her hand did not panic and put a plate of beans on the table, and then fled in a hurry.
"Hey, boy, do you see. Morfan winked at Rod: "Slap these pussies' butts, they will scream, everyone has a different name." ”
As if to confirm what he said, he repeated the same trick on another waitress, and it was so.
Rod was dumbfounded: "Isn't this a hooligan?"
"Don't say it's so ugly, this is a tavern gift service, the waitresses have long been used to it, you see them, they won't even spill a little wine, you can try it too." ”
The third waitress passed by them, and after listening to the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but glance at them, and her pupils immediately dilated a little - she had never seen such a good-looking teenager in her life, he looked at himself, a silver-gray hair that shone with brilliant brilliance, and his body was full of vigorous youth. So young and energetic, if he slapped his ass or even quietly asked himself...... Nothing had happened, but her face was already hot.
Rhodes was a little itchy, clenched his hands and began to move, sneakily looking left and right, only to see that Grom and Silna at the table next to him were staring at him with the same disapproving eyes, hesitated for a moment The target had already passed in front of him, so he had to give up his plan.
"Also, which one you like, you can tip her and ask her where to wait for you after work, and then take her somewhere to make love. Morfan sat on the stool and continued to ruin people with an ambiguous expression: "But unlike **, if you don't tip much or people look too disgusting, they have the right not to accept it." But like you, a copper plate is enough...... No, they'll wait for you too. ”
Grom coughed in displeasure, and Sylna glared angrily: "Morfan, is it enough?" Dieter knows that you brought Xiao Luo out to teach him this, and you won't deduct your salary this month!"
"I don't depend on that for food. The named person shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, as a member of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, the salary was much more than the mercenary money of the caravan guard's superficial status, and the Chandit was not qualified to be assessed and deducted: "What kind of bad is this, and it is not to take him to take drugs and gamble to force a woman to kill people." ”
Rhodes didn't have any intention of "tipping", but he couldn't help but inspect several waitresses in the tavern, although they were not ugly, they all looked very average, not to mention his mother or sister Roy, even Xiao Yin'er was a hundred times cuter than them after becoming a human, and even Xi'er was much better looking than them.
The thought of the little fox made the boy's heart burn, and he would definitely eat her tonight. Thinking so, the little fox shrunk in the bag moved as if he was aware of it, poked his head out of the backpack, and looked around on his shoulder. Rod took him a small slice of meat, which he opened and bit into his mouth, chewed two bites, and then jumped to the ground and began to look around carefully.
Compared with the cautious timidity who didn't even dare to get out of the walls of Foster House before leaving home, the little fox became more and more bold after leaving the city, and often ran around blindly for half a day when she was on the ship, and Rhodes was often worried that she would be caught and bullied by the crew, but fortunately, everyone on the ship knew that the little fox was the pet of the caravan captain's nephew, and no one touched her.
"Don't run around. ”
"Meow. ”
It's really rare for a fox to bark...... Even the tavern owner couldn't help but take a second look. The snow-white ball spun deftly between the legs of the table and chairs for a while, and then slipped into the kitchen. Rhodes looked at the bracelet on his hand, which still emitted magical fluctuations as usual, and ignored her.
The dishes were quickly served, with smoked lamb and blackened beef ribs. The most striking thing was the pie that was served on wheels, cut into four pieces just enough for their group of four people to divide the table, and only a quarter also accounted for most of the table. That's what Morvin calls the restaurant's signature dish: onions, mushrooms, minced meats and other greens and greens are almost stuffed under the crunchy skin, drenched in a dark brown sauce.
Although the appearance is average, it is much better than the food on the ship, and Rhodes has no hope for food when he goes out, and it is delicious beyond expectations.
The boy chatted with Morfan while eating and drinking, the former was very interested in the many strange "unspoken rules" of the outside world, and the latter was not stingy at all, but also talked with great interest.
"Woohoo!" came from next door, mixed with the screaming of another animal and the sound of spilling things, and then a cloud of snow white rushed in through the back door of the tavern and headed straight for Rod.
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at the place, and saw the little fox running quickly, followed by a roaring yellow earth dog. The little fox ran to the boy's feet and jumped up and pounced on his chest, and Rod also reacted quickly to reach out and take it into his arms, stand up and kick the dog with a fierce face.
The dog was not stupid, and he knew that it was the owner's customer who was sitting here, so he whined twice and went back to the backyard with his tail between his legs.
Rod smiled apologetically at the shopkeeper behind the counter, lowered his head and scratched Yin'er's hair dissatisfiedly: "Naughty again, do you want to provoke when you see something four-legged." You haven't been bitten, have you?"
"Meow~" The little white fox proudly watched the dog leave, shook his head, and began to stare at the food on the table, it should have been tossed and hungry.
"It's probably looking for an escape route, you'd better keep an eye on it. Pauli, who had been drinking silently on the side, suddenly burst out with a sentence, staring coldly at the smug little fox.
"No, you want to run?"
"Woo. The little fox barked innocently, shook his head, and wagged his tail.
Pauli snorted coldly, he just reminded by feeling that it was Rhodes' own business to listen or not.
