Chapter 21: Breadfruit
A loud explosion shook the area, and the rabbit, which had been hiding far away, now ran farther, a trace of underground water slowly overflowing from the pit, and Thunder rode back coldly on the stone horse.
Lady Bauhinia had already dismounted from the carriage with the support of the family knights, she was very little affected in the carriage, although she was a little frightened, but after all, people were fine, and it was a pity that the two knights hanging at the end of the line had escaped for such a long way, and they were able to end this escape, but unfortunately they were seriously injured and dying.
Madame Bauhinia came forward not only to appease the knights of the family, but also to talk to Lei Ming, anyway, it was Lei Ming who solved the pursuit of the pig-body, she no longer underestimated this territory protected by wooden walls, now that she thinks about it, she feels that this territory is amazing, and the other lords occupy just some dilapidated castles and halls, and the wooden wall of the people can be distinguished from the color is newly built, and it is very telling that such a neat wooden wall can be completed in such a short time, if she can, Mrs. Bauhinia wants to have a good relationship with Lei Mingγ
She didn't know that Lei Ming was the lord, but at least Lei Ming was a strong man, and a strong man could be respected, she even prepared a set of rhetoric, if possible, she thought that she could subdue Lei Ming, let Lei Ming be loyal to the Bauhinia family, if she was more ambitious, she even wanted this territory.
However, Lei Ming ignored him, he hurried to the bread tree, although it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the bread tree, but he didn't know if the impact of the explosion had affected the bread tree, he valued the bread tree very much, not only because the bread tree can produce breadfruit, but more importantly, Alice liked the little bread tree very much.
In fact, Lei Ming was too worried, the small bread tree grew so fast, the vitality was very tenacious, the life energy in the heart of the tree was condensed and not dispersed, and in two days, it might be able to bear breadfruit.
A crisis was eliminated, and Thunder entered the territory to appease the frightened people, while Juston, who was stunned, stopped in place after watching the shocking explosion, and his eyes rolled to see the people of the Bauhinia family that Thunder deliberately ignored.
A smile quickly appeared on Justton's face, and he whispered a few caravan guards to follow him, and then swaggered towards Mrs. Bauhinia, to be honest, although he has a lot of power in the Chamber of Commerce, but compared to the nobles, he can't be on the elegant hall, it is rare to see the nobles in distress, Juston was a little cautious, wanted to go over to play prestige, by the way, to see if they have any requirements, Lei Ming has no time to deal with them, then he should go to entertain them, so as not to lose the demeanor of the nobles.
In addition, Mrs. Bauhinia is a real beauty, her long dark purple hair is full of luxury, more attractive than the elegance of lilac, her sea-blue eyes are very attractive, her eyebrows and thin lips are perfectly combined, this is a woman with an extremely perfect appearance.
"Honorable lady, do you need any help? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Juston, our lord's confidant, and I can make decisions on some matters in the realm. β
Jaston imitated the tone of the nobles he had seen, and tried to be as elegant as possible in his gestures, his pot-bellied appearance was quite like that, at least Mrs. Bauhinia believed that Justton was the lord's henchman, and the caravan guards who followed Juston didn't feel anything wrong, this guy Juston has privately regarded himself as Thundering's henchman since he followed Thundering.
As for those embarrassed family knights, Jaston was a little disdainful, no matter how strong he was to be as strong as Lord Thundering? He squinted at the family knights with broken armor and small scars on their bodies, and an intuition that two trolls could kill them all came to his heart, which made him feel a lot of superiority, and at the same time made him more confident.
"It's a pleasure to see you, we are the Bauhinia family, I am the Marquise, I don't know who your lord is?"
Mrs. Bauhinia thought to herself that the knight who killed the pig-body man just now was probably a fool who only knew how to fight, and such a brave and unscrupulous person only had the value of winning over and using it, and this Juston in front of her, although she looked a little shabby on the outside, and her strength was not strong, but she needed to consider the existence of her words, because Juston was likely to be able to influence their lord's decision, and Juston seemed to be a shrewd and sleek villain, so don't offend such a person if you can.
And this question happened to ask the itch of Juston, he didn't know what Bauhinia was, but the Bourbon family had a great reputation in the entire empire, he cleared his throat and said: "We are from the Bourbon family, and the lord is the young master of Thundering, because he found that this canyon is rich in resources, so he is stationed here." β
Mrs. Bauhinia was also taken aback, there are only a few dukes in the empire, and their Bauhinia family is already very powerful, but it is nothing compared to the Bourbon family, very simple example, Justton doesn't know which Bauhinia family is, Mrs. Bauhinia doesn't even know which rank he is, and the Bourbon family he not only knows, but also has a lot of understanding, this is the gap between the duke and the marquis.
Seeing the moving expression on Mrs. Bauhinia's face, Juston was immediately satisfied, and he took it upon himself to send an invitation to Mrs. Bauhinia: "Madame, please come to the territory to rest, and I will arrange accommodation for you." β
"Where's your lord? I'd like to visit first, okay?"
Mrs. Bauhinia was invited by Jaston, and her mood immediately brightened, she was thinking about how to make this request, but she didn't expect Jaston to say it, and she even felt that Jaston looked a little more pleasing to the eye.
"My lord? That's the one who rode the horse just now. β
Jaston led the way in front with an elegant gesture with a hand behind his back, and said smug words lightly in his mouth, in his mind, Lei Ming's strength just now definitely shocked the other party for a moment, because even he didn't expect that Lei Ming would solve all the pigs by himself.
And when Mrs. Bauhinia knew that the person she regarded as a reckless man was the eldest young master of the Bourbon family, she didn't have to mention the feeling in her heart, she had mixed tastes, and she couldn't say it clearly, and it was more uncomfortable than eating flies.
Juston took Lady Bauhinia into the territory to settle down, provided water and kindly gave some food, but to Lady Bauhinia's great disappointment, Thunder did not appear from beginning to end.
During this period, the Troll Prophet also came in person, but he did not show up in front of the people, but called a troll to lead Thunder to the forest, he learned about the explosion and left, as for what he thought in his heart, Thunder could not guess, the Troll Prophet always maintained a mysterious posture in front of Thunder.
Since Lei Ming returned, he has been paying attention to the situation of the young men in the Dark Knight Hall, this secret method is the first time he has used it, although there is a lot of experience to learn from, but after all, there may be accidents, so he is always vigilant.
This went on for two days, and Thunder never appeared, and Lady Bauhinia did not leave, until Alice probed into the door of the Dark Knight's Hall.
Because of Lei Ming's confession, the people in the territory have not come to disturb, and the relatives of the guards have gotten gossip from Juston, knowing that the kid in his family is being transformed into a powerful and mysterious warrior, it is even more difficult for others to disturb, what if he is disturbed at a critical moment and the transfer fails?
That is, Alice was able to break into the Dark Knight Hall to find Thunder without being hindered by others, she didn't want to come in and disturb Thunder, but seeing that the little bread tree had grown fruit, she couldn't help it, as if there was a little bug crawling around in her heart, eager to share the news with Thunder, and she now had a little secret, she also wanted to test whether Lei Ming knew about the little bread tree's consciousness.
Lei Ming found Alice when she gently pushed the door, but he wouldn't be angry about it, now is the stable period for these young men to change jobs, as long as they eat, sleep, and bleed, so it doesn't matter if they are disturbed, he sensed that Alice should have something to do with him, so he walked out of the dark knight's hall.
"Alice, what's wrong?"
Alice took a step back when Lei Ming stretched out her hand to rub her hair, and then took out one of the breadfruits she had hidden behind her back with some twist, squinted her eyes with a smile, and said happily, "Brother, you see, the little bread tree has already borne fruit." β
There was a stalk at the bottom of the breadfruit, and a layer of hard shell supported a lump of pulp, the shape of the flesh was like a steamed bun, and the top was a little sharp, about the same size as Alice's little head, about two or three catties.
Seeing this fruit, Lei Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect the bread tree to bear fruit so quickly.
"Alice is awesome, let's go see the breadtree first, and then taste the breadfruit, I've heard that breadfruit is the best bread in the world. β
Lei Ming took Alice's little hand and walked out, he saw the maid following Alice, and smiled at her, the news of the little bread tree ripening made him feel good. His warm smile made the girl blush.
