Chapter 262: A Chance Encounter in a Noodle Restaurant
It's still a familiar taste, it's still a familiar smell.
Unfortunately, this familiarity will soon be gone.
Roland and Gray walked into the noodle shop called "Happiness", which was their final goodbye to the Two Moon City. In the future, I'm afraid Roland will never set foot here again in his life.
Gray sat down across from Roland, looking at the menu, and yelled to the mother-in-law in the store, "I want braised noodles with meat sauce, two!" Then, he glanced at Roland again and said, "By the way, give this guy a copy too." ”
Although my mother-in-law's hair has turned gray, her body bones are still very neat. She quickly put the three parts together, but gave Gray a strange look, and then asked with a smile, "Oh, lad." What about the guy who came with you last time? He hasn't been here in a long time! ”
It seems that the mother-in-law did not know the news that Roland was "dead".
Gray glanced at Roland silently, propped his chin in his hand, and explained, "Oh, do you mean him? He...... I went to a far place, and I guess I won't be able to come back for a while. ”
"Gee, that's pretty bad. The boy went so far away, and he didn't know if he could live there......" said the mother-in-law, as if to herself, and went on to do other things.
Roland only felt that his mood had become a little depressed. In order to hide the ups and downs of his heart, Roland had to stir the fork in his hand to divert his attention.
"What, what do you think of again?" Gray looked at Roland with interest and said, "Don't be too sad, people here don't remember you, and there are other places where we can show our talents." When the time comes, we will be promoted to high positions in the Holy Court step by step, and those who looked down on you in the past will not have to line up one by one? If you want me to say ......"
"I'm leaving the Holy Court." Roland interrupted Gray and bit off the noodles.
"What did you say?" Gray's eyes were about to fall in shock, and his face was full of disbelief: "When did it happen?" We've only been on the job for less than a month! ”
"I fell out with Dingenier. Our character is really not suitable to stay in the same place...... The purpose of the Holy Court also seems to be different from what I imagined at the beginning. In addition, the purpose of my joining the Holy Court in the first place was nothing more than to leave the Rand. Now it seems that this reason is not necessary...... When this is done and I return to the Holy Tribunal, I will submit my resignation. The world is big, can there be no place for me? Roland smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Ugh......" Gray rolled his eyes helplessly, trying to say something. As a result, before he could say anything, the door of the store was slammed open. A gust of cold wind suddenly entered the house, making Roland shiver.
Roland looked back with some displeasure to see who was so proud, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar face.
It's Augustine's face.
Roland was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and pulled the brim of his hat lower, trying to pretend that he didn't see anything. However, he still couldn't help but think: Augustine, the demon, is not good to stay in the kingdom and stay by the contractor's side, what is he doing here? Are you here to eat?
Of course, Roland's little moves were all in vain.
Augustine had apparently noticed both of them a long time ago. Because Gray, a guy who has no eyesight, actually greeted Augustine.
That's right, Gray was actually greeting a demon, and his tone was as if he had known each other for a long time.
Augustine looked around. Business in the noodle shop seems to be doing well today, so there are no more vacancies in the shop.
Seeing this, Gray suddenly kicked Roland hard. Roland lost his center of gravity all of a sudden, and his body couldn't help but fall to the side of the bench, and it was not easy to stabilize his body. But in this way, the right side of Roland's chair is vacant.
Gray pointed to Roland's right and beckoned, "Augustin, there's a vacant seat here!" ”
After listening to Gray's words, Augustine really didn't dislike it, and actually sat down next to Roland.
Roland suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.
After all, Augustine is a demon, and Roland is a god. So although Augustine's aura was very weak, it still made Roland feel a little uncomfortable when he was so close to Roland like he was now.
Gray saw Roland's face change, so he asked with a concerned face, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
It's just knowingly asking! Roland didn't bother to talk to him, just turned around stiffly.
Augustine glanced at Roland lazily, just holding his chin, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and suddenly said, "Let's have a red stewed cream corn and celery soup." ”
"Okay!" The mother-in-law began to prepare the materials in a hurry, but Roland felt a little surprised: Come to a noodle restaurant to eat and order a soup? The devil's taste is really peculiar!
Gray glanced at Augustine with interest and said with a smile, "Did I say you just came to the noodle restaurant to drink soup?" Don't need anything else? ”
"No, I'm used to it." Augustine replied succinctly.
"That's really weird, is this soup so delicious? Mother-in-law, bring me a portion of that red stewed soup! Gray grinned and said, "I said Augustine, listen to what you mean, you still come here to eat often?" Can't see it? With your usual stinky fart and handsome character, you would come to such a people-friendly place, oops!? Are you tired of the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace? Why don't you bring the king with you? Yes? ”
Augustine glanced at Gray impatiently, and spat out only two words: "Shut up." It was clear that Augustine was annoyed by Gray's croaking.
Roland only felt like he was on pins and needles at this time.
Augustin probably also noticed Roland's abnormality, he seemed to inadvertently glance back at Roland, and said, "What, just the two of you today?" Not with that brother of yours? ”
Before Roland could figure out how to speak, Gray had already replied before him, "Dingenier, you say?" He has a big responsibility, so naturally he has more important things to do, how can there be such a small role like us? ”
Augustine didn't look at Gray either, but said with some disapproval: "He's busy? I don't think that's possible, right? I think he's 80 percent ...... now."
"Hey! The soup is coming! At this point, Gray interrupted Augustine with no eyes. He took the bowl and threw it directly in front of Augustine, then took his own bowl, and said, "Taste it, it's not good when it's cold." As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and scooped it up.
Gray scooped the red liquid with a spoon, sniffed it, frowned slightly, and said, "Can this taste good?" At least smell ...... It's really not ......," he scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and almost threw it up. The final evaluation is: good sour.
At this moment, Augustine's face was completely different. His expression was a little serious, and his eyes were a little deep when he looked at the soup, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It was only after a while that Augustine began to take a few sips. His face was still solemn, and there was no change.
Gray had a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you really think this...... Is this soup delicious? What is the devil's tongue made of, and it can be drunk with relish? Tell me what you tasted. ”
"Sour." Augustine glanced at Gray expressionlessly, then grinned and said, "I can't imagine that I haven't drunk it for many years, this ...... The soup is getting more and more sour, could it be that the woman is getting older and her sense of taste has deteriorated? It's really harder than it used to be......"
"I know it's hard to drink, but you're not looking for abuse yourself!" Gray said a little unpleasantly, and then said stingily: "The one I ordered is also yours, you liar!" ”
To be honest, Roland was a little nervous when Gray said this. Because Roland was worried that Gray's unreasonableness would arouse Augustine's dissatisfaction. If he is upset, he will take action...... The consequences are unimaginable.
But fortunately, Augustine didn't seem to care about Gray's ridicule at all, although he also commented that it was unpalatable, but he still continued to drink the red stew or something soup wholeheartedly, and he didn't want to deal with Gray at all, which made Roland a little more relieved. But overall, Roland didn't have a pleasant lunch, because he didn't eat anything at all!
