58. Luncheon
"Ellie, there's a big problem that bothers me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After obtaining the holy sword, Languraisa (with a beautiful scabbard said to be made by elves), Van suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, Fan?"
"I'm hungry. ”
As he spoke, the Duke rubbed his stomach with a bitter face.
“......”
“......”
It was already past lunchtime, and even afternoon tea time was almost over, and Fan and his group had barely eaten anything except a few drinks on the way.
Because so much happened along the way, in the end, even the lunch thing was left behind by them.
"Isn't the environment here very good, it doesn't seem like any dangerous animals will be attracted by the aroma of food, but even if you come, don't be afraid, just in time for Leon to test his sword!!"
"So I decided! Let's have a picnic here!!"
The Duke spoke, and the matter was settled.
Spread a cloth on the grass and place the specially made food in the basket that is still delicious even after it has cooled down.
Since it is made_in Boer, most of the food is seafood.
"It's not that I hate fish, to be honest, I used to like fish, but now I smell enough of fish!!I don't know how that bastard in Gilheim survived in such a place, doesn't he have a fishy smell on his body?" Fan looked at the exquisite food in front of him with a subtle face, although it looked very good, Fan just felt that he couldn't swallow it.
"At this time, it would be nice to have Serra's dough~~~~~~~ because he was hungry, and although he didn't like to see the food in the basket very much, Fan still had no choice but to eat it.
Along with Fan, staring at the food and staring at the dwarf elf.
It always seemed like he was still swallowing saliva.
"Do you want to eat it too?" Van sent out an invitation.
"Huh, old and old...... Can you join you at lunch?"
"Yes, anyway, Ellie brought a lot, not missing one person's share, besides, as the lord of this land, if you can't even invite your subjects to a meal, it will be too ugly!!"
"Huh, is the old man your subject?" the elf was taken aback.
"Whoever inhabits my land is my subjects, even if it is a fantastical creature!!" Fan immediately said: "Speaking of which, the dwarf elves have always called you, and they haven't asked your name, do you have a name?"
"Old name...... The dwarf elf was stunned for a moment, and said suddenly: "It's true, true...... What a faux pas, the old man should make such a serious mistake!!"
Come to think of it, when it first appeared, the dwarf elves began to be tricked by Fan before they had time to declare their names, and then there was a series of peaks and loops, resulting in the two sides not even having each other's names until now.
"The old name is Bilbo, and Bilbo Bacin is willing to be your servant. ”
Of course, this was just a polite phrase used on the scene when they first met, and it was not that the dwarf elf named Bilbo really wanted to be a mortal servant.
This kind of slightly archaic politeness was a very popular greeting in the era before 100~200 years, but it has long been rare in this era, and only those families who inherit the ancient and old-fashioned family motto will insist on using this kind of classical greeting.
"Huh, you're going to be my servant, I'm embarrassed, after all, you've already given me such a good sword, and I'm embarrassed to keep calling you......," Fan said, scratching his head.
Obviously, Fan, who is not very attentive in history class, takes this kind of politeness seriously......
"Fan, ah...... En...... "Alicia immediately used a stunt: feeding [Ya].
So Fan's mouth was gagged with food.
"This lord is the owner of the lands north of the cliffs, the sole holder of the title of duke, and the lord of the Duchy of Almac, Lord Van der Almac. The maiden replaced the unreliable Van and introduced: "That gentleman is the heir of the Earl of Hart, the imposing leader of the Knights of the Guards, the dignified knight Leon Ann Hart, my name is Alicia, and the procurator of the duchy, Alicia Bain, is at your service, Mr. Bagins." ”
After exchanging names, the dwarf elf said with some hesitation: "The old man has been concerned since just now, and that incident has always made the old man care. ”
Bilbo sat down and pointed at Van and said, "Duke Almac...... Could it be ...... You are the great nobles of the human race??"
"Didn't I say that?" Now that the food in his mouth has been completely wiped out, he can speak again: "I am the master of this land, and I am the person with the highest status in the Principality of Almac!!"
"The old man doesn't know the territory of the human race, and the old man doesn't know where the Duchy of Almac is...... "For an old antique from hundreds of years ago, it would be too reluctant for him to understand the territorial distribution of human beings that will change greatly every few decades.
"But as far as the old man knows, most of the nobles of the human race are ......"
At this, the elf suddenly closed his mouth, because it would be too rude for these newfound human friends to continue. Mr. Bachens, who has a good upbringing, would not do such a thing.
But both Alicia and Leon understood what the inhuman fantasy creature was trying to say.
The loss of face was thrown away from the outside, which made the two of them feel a little surprised.
"Speaking of which, Bilbo, I ask you......" Fan suddenly said, "You are all fantasy creatures, so I think you should know, I ask you, is there really a dragon in this world?"
"Dragon, dragon !!" the dwarf elf looked startled.
"I don't know if there are any dragons left in this world, but I know that there are many dragons in that world. ”
"Leon, do you hear me? There really is a dragon!!Let's go and slay the dragon!How about taking the dragon's treasure??" Fan turned to the knight to the side with his eyes glowing.
"!!" The knight, who had been eating an outdated lunch for a long time, almost squirted out a mouthful of food, and he said with some hesitation: "If the opponent is a dragon, the power below...... or many have deficiencies ......"
"You're too modest, Leon, you already have a good sword, if you use this to slay the dragon, you will definitely succeed!"
"The old man doesn't approve of Almac's words, and the old man thinks that no matter what, don't provoke a dragon, even a lazy dragon that has been napping on his treasure pile for decades and has already grown fat on his stomach!!"
"Fan, don't make trouble for the knights. ”
"It's not to cause trouble, isn't the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior very handsome?, and the dragon's treasure can also subsidize the damage of this war, and by the way, make Almac more prosperous, I'm thinking about the future of the territory!!"
"How about you think about your territory in a more realistic way? Alicia tried to correct Van in his outlook on life.
"That's the reality! I think Leon will be able to outperform the dragon, right, Leon?!"
"I don't have confidence in ...... underneath"
"You're too modest, Leon!!"
"Don't provoke the dragon......s! Hmm......" Bilbo swallowed back half of his words
As if he had known the three of them for a long time, Mr. Bilbo easily blended into the three of them, constantly stirring up interesting topics one after another.
Some of them are old stories, some are very old secrets, some are things that used to be called top secret but are now becoming known, and some are just recently trending topics, and it seems that the inhabitants of other fantasy worlds have brought similar knowledge into that world.
At this moment, Bilbo Bagins finally had the demeanor of an elder, and his vast knowledge and almost endless box of words amazed Leon, let alone mortal.
But even such a lively luncheon has a moment of end, just like people meet and get acquainted, and there will inevitably be a moment of parting at the end.
The time that belongs to the afternoon passes by in a hurry, and the time period called the evening gradually arrives.
