"Damn! this is the worst gift I've ever received!" Alan grumbled as he put down the bite of the stonefish pie, "I'd rather it be a dress!"

"Quietly. "Selsey stuck his head over and said vaguely," said Selsi, "The squire said that the lord had been busy all afternoon for these palm-sized pies.www.biquge.info He swallowed the pie in his mouth and added, "Start by buying fish at the market." ”

"He went to the fish market alone?" Alan frowned.

"Yes, he said, to ensure that the fish used as a base are fresh. Sersi replied.

"What a madman! The manipulators behind the living dead yesterday haven't been caught yet," Alan said as he looked at Kenny, who was chewing slowly not far away.

"Lord, I'm back. ”

Everyone looked up, only to see Aiden uncharacteristically wearing a leather armor and hurriedly walking into the restaurant.

"Lord. He walked up to Kenny and whispered, "The city defense patrol of the festival has passed, and there is no problem, but after the news of the bonfire ball spread, a large number of city citizens flocked to the 10,000-person square, and I want to temporarily transfer a thousand people from the Union army garrison to maintain order." ”

"A thousand?" Kenny looked at Aiden puzzled, "Do you need that much?"

"I'm afraid you'll ..... tonight"

"That's not a thousand! Three hundred is enough!" Kenny interrupted, "Let's sit down and eat something, it's hard work." ”

"Thank you, lord. Aiden finished and sat down across from Allen.

"Whoa!"

"Spring Dawn. Aiden hurriedly removed the pie that had reached his lips and replied to the new code.

"Where's your bow, little golden imp?" Alan frowned, "I've never seen that bow leave you....."

"But today is our annual Snow Moon Festival of the Kartha people, and the lord gave me a dagger, and the blacksmith who made it said that he could help me adjust the accuracy of the bow for free, so I simply left it there. Aiden slipped the fragrant pie into his mouth and explained unhurriedly.

"Oh, I forgot, you're from Karta. Alan patted his head and suddenly realized.

"Yes!" Aiden said in a deep voice, clenching his throat, "Today, all strikes are legal!" he let go of his hand and lowered his voice, "This is what Lord Kenny himself said, and Chief Selcy testified. ”

"You're funny!" said Sersi tossing a green olive to him.

Aiden caught it and threw it into his mouth.

"The dagger, which was paid for before Mio and the others arrived, hasn't it been made yet?" asked Kenny, chewing on fluffy bread and leaning back in his chair.

"Lord, not long ago, the Alliance Army just restructured the armament coat of arms, and most of the iron and wood in the city have been requisitioned, as for the dagger, you asked the craftsman to use nanmu as a sheath, but now there is hardly a decent piece of nanmu on the market, so I asked him to change it to a leather dagger, but it will take a little time to get it. Aiden sat up straight and explained.

"Oh. Kenny answered, shoving the rest of the crumbs into his mouth.

"Let's go!"

Shelley placed a large plate of roasted lamb's trotters on the table, and the smell of minced garlic and rosemary filled the restaurant in an instant.

"This ....." Sersi stood up and stared at the roast trotters on the table, "you did it?"

"Yes!" Shelley replied shyly, pursing the corners of her mouth, "I don't know what it tastes like, I'm not from Nippur, and I learned it after I followed my father here." ”

"It smells so good!" Aiden said with a smile.

"Sit down and get something to eat!" Alan asked.

"It tastes good!" Kenny commented as he chewed on the crunchy trotters, "and while I haven't eaten the authentic Nipur Roast Hotters, it does taste good, with garlic and rosemary completely dissolved into the trotters and no smell at all." ”

"I really didn't expect you to keep a hand. Alan muttered, shoving the scented sheep's trotters into his mouth.

Sersi picked up a piece of it, and when the delicacy was about to touch his lips and teeth, he took a closer look, and found that there was something strange about the incision of the sheep's hoof in front of him.

He knew the old cooks in Morwinburg, who liked to sharpen their knives, and who had been picking and thorning for many years, and who survived were extremely cautious fellows, who would never have handled the ingredients so roughly, except for the burly cuts, and even some wool hanging from the sheep's hooves.

He looked up at Shelley, whose arms were as thin as a willow branch, and did not resemble a reckless woman who could handle sheep's hooves with a butcher's knife.

"Hey!" Alan poked Sersi with his elbow, "What do you want?

"Oh. Sersi answered, and then put the trotters in his mouth.

"Is the campfire dance also a custom in Karta?" Alan asked Kenny, nibbling on his sheep's hooves.

"Yes, an ancient custom, before the advent of the Snow Moon Festival. Kenny said as he stepped away from his chair and picked up another sheep's hoof.

"Before the Snow Moon Festival?" Alan moved his eyes, "Didn't it appear with it?"

"It's not. Kenny shook his head, "The Snow Moon Festival is the last day of the Winter Moon, a festival that only existed in our family after the establishment of Karta, and the bonfire ball was long before that, and it is said that it has been around for more than a thousand years. ”

"A festival more than a thousand years ago?" exclaimed Sersi.

"Yes, legend has it that thousands of years ago, the sleeping dragon awoke, with huge amber pupils, two milky horns on its head, wrinkles and scales on its face and body, and blood flowing from its four scarlet fangs. It has four sturdy feet, but more often than not, it soars through the sky with huge dragon wings. That day, it burned the town with dragon flames, and later ....."

"And then?" asked Linde curiously.

"Later, a powerful wizard appeared on the First Continent, and he sealed the evil dragon at the cost of his life. In order to celebrate the death of the dragon and to commemorate the heroic wizard, the people on the mainland have today's bonfire ball. Kenny finished the story, and the figure of his father came to mind.

There was a brief silence in the dining room.

"My father, too, told the same story. Alan broke the silence coldly.

"Really?" Kenny raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. Alan smiled, "Don't forget, we're all Daltons. ”

"Lord. Sersi tilted his head, "You say, is there really a dragon in this world?"

"I've always believed that this story is history, that it really happened and that it was passed down by word of mouth. Kenny pinched his beard and analyzed, "There is a dragon peak on the first continent, nearly 10,000 meters above sea level, in the territory of Karta, it is located in the northern part of the Side Mountains, and legend has it that the great wizard sealed the evil dragon on the top of the dragon peak. He paused, gesturing at the gobbling golden retriever imp, "Aiden is the forester there. ”

Everyone's eyes brushed over to Aiden.

Aiden raised his head for some reason, and then his eyebrows were intertwined, and he scanned the people in the restaurant with a pair of eagle eyes, and Shelley sat up straight beside him. (To be continued.) )
