Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Bard
Liu Zijin sat on the neatly stacked stones, she looked at the skewers by the campfire, and clapped her hands happily: "This is really rich, beef tenderloin, beef tongue, beef loin, pork crispy bones, pork tenderloin, pork leg, ha, and lamb shank." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Sister Roland can tell the difference at a glance?"
"Of course, I'm not a big gourmet, but I have a soft spot for barbecue. First, the barbecue can start at any time as soon as it hits the prey. Second, I do love barbecue. β
Lielle chuckled, "Although most adventurers have a lot of criticism about roasting, it's because they just roast it casually, without carefully heating each part evenly or sprinkling condiments. β
"Speaking of condiments, where did you get the condiments in your hands?"
"This is my magic weapon, which my sister gave me before I left home. She told me at the time that this was an indispensable companion for me on my adventures, and in fact, it was. No matter how badly grilled your meat is, just sprinkle some and it will be delicious. β
"Then I'll look forward to it. β
Liu Zijin smiled and nodded, and then she patted the stone next to her and said, "Lucius, you are sitting, are you stupid blowing the wind outside?"
"Ah...... No, I'll sit down right away. β
Lucius sat down on the stone and kicked up a cloud of dust, if it weren't for Liu Zi's quick palm fanning, this barbecue would probably not be edible.
"Lucius, what are you doing!"
Curty complained again, and Lucius quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my fault...... I'm a little distracted. β
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand your inner sorrow. β
As she spoke, Liu Zijin looked at the moon in the sky, she smiled slightly, and took out a handful of juice from the ring.
"This is the juice I bought at a place called Xue Huo, I remember this juice is called Sleep, it is one of the best drinks I have ever had, and we will drink it together at this good time. β
As she spoke, she took out five cups as if by trick, and filled them with a good night's sleep.
Liu Zijin raised his glass to Mingyue and invited, "Moon, you can also come and eat together." β
As she spoke, she put another cup of sleep aside, and at this time, Lielle finally rejoiced, "It's baked!"
Her tense mood relaxed, she had never been so serious when she was studying at the Academy of Magic, but this seriousness finally gave her a good result - this time she was very satisfied, perfect.
Liu Zijin took a string of crispy bones and ate it: "Hmm...... It's really delicious...... The soft meat is wrapped around the crispy and chewy bones, and your special condiment brings out the flavor of the meat...... Ah, delicious. β
As she spoke, Liu Zijin picked up a bunch of crispy bones and ate it, and the others saw that she was eating energetically, so they also picked up their favorite skewers one by one and ate them.
One by one, they also showed the same happy expression as Liu Zijin, and praised the deliciousness of the barbecue in unison, at this time, Liu Zijin said again: "Don't forget to drink water, sleeping well with any food is a superb." β
As she spoke, she directly smothered it all in one gulp.
The feast lasted until late at night, and Lucius smiled softly as he looked at his companions lying on the ground. He crept up close to them and draped them in quilts one by one. Finally, he walked up to Liu Zijin and said with a smile: "Don't say you're asleep." β
Liu Zijin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lucius with sleepy eyes, she stretched her long lazy waist, and her breasts beat with her body, and finally, she rubbed her eyes and said while yawning, "Are they all asleep?"
"Hmm. β
"Oh, okay. β
Liu Zijin sat up, she looked at Lucius, and said, "Then let me guess your true identity, the master of the dungeon?"
Lucius bowed and smiled, "Exactly. β
"What do you mean when you say that you are the owner of a dungeon and pretending to be a rookie adventurer to attack your own dungeon?
Lucius smiled bitterly: "There is a deep reason for this......"
"Tell me about it. β
Lucius rubbed his face and pulled off a mask, his reddish eyes revealed, as if he was longing for blood.
"You understand?"
"Don't give me all the things I have, aren't you just red-eyed? Do you think you're special? Let me tell you, I know a girl whose eyes are redder and more beautiful than yours. β
Lucius choked and sighed, "...... Forget that you lack a lot of common sense, I really don't know where you came from. β
"Heavenly. β
β...... This kind of eye of mine is a symbol of demonization, and only the natural Great Demon and the closest person to the Great Demon have this kind of eye. β
Liu Zijin sighed, and then suddenly thought of a very serious question, and asked, "Wait, is your name really Lucius? You can't have any other names, do you......?"
"Of course my name is Lucius, but Lucius is just a string of my names, and my full name is Alec Marian Lucius Overmas Godoli Ravev......"
"Stop, how many knots do you have left in your name?"
"Verse eighty-seven. β
"Okay, don't read it, you just have to tell me what people call you in general. β
"Zion. β
"What? Be louder, I can't hear you. β
"Zion. β
"Oh......"
Liu Zijin let out an expressionless sigh, but his heart was like a stormy wave: "Zion, teacher, you are doing it! What kind of trouble are you going to make next to your former self after you make me a mother! Could it be that you have a ** beautiful big sister in your memories is your eternal regret, so you want me to make up for it? How can this be written as a heroic epic, which contains teachers and students, same-sex and so on!"
"You seem to have an issue with my name?"
"No, you continue. β
"Okay......" Lucius thought for a moment and continued, "A hundred years ago, my dad and mom left the dungeon to me to take care of after they went out on their honeymoon, but my dream is to be a bard, don't look at me...... I know I'm playing a knight now, but I'm a good bard, and I don't believe I'll play the harp. β
"No, I beg you not to pull, you continue. β
"So I left the dungeon to a respected magician, my teacher, my good friend. As for me, I wandered around the world, looking for inspiration, writing poetry, and saving the world. By the way, I also talked to the noble lady. β
"Wait, why are you talking to Miss Noble?"
Lucius looked at Liu Zijin with a complex look of empathy, and after a while, he said in a sad tone: "At first, I was so naΓ―ve with you, and my mother also looked at me like this at that time, and in the end she just said, bard. β
Lucius was silent for a moment, then took out a fan, covered his mouth, and said, "Bard...... The dreams of the young girls. Those aristocratic maidens who have nothing to do fantasize about three things all day long, a handsome prince on a white horse, a handsome brave man who bravely enters the dungeon, and an elegant bard who comes with the sunset. And I'm here to satisfy their fantasies. β
"Stop, you're probably right, and then I found out that you're now a handsome brave man who brave the dungeon. β
"Yes, you found out. β
"Which girls do you have a crush on? Or are they all?"
Lucius smiled bitterly, "I haven't finished my sentence yet, can you let me start from scratch?"
"Oh, well, by the way, you stay away from me. β
"What for?"
"I'm afraid you'll covet my body. β
"......," Lucius took a step back, and added, "and then, that venerable old magician, I don't know when...... Old and dead. β
"That's humorous, huh?"
"It's not over yet, but he's so good that he transforms himself into a lich immediately after his death. β
"Oh, and then?"
"After becoming a lich, his whole being swelled and he began to do unspeakable things, but because he only had a few bones left now, he couldn't do anything. β
"Pathetic. β
"Then, unfortunately, when I was routinely talking to a lonely aristocratic girl, I ran into trouble again. β
"I'll just assume I didn't hear that word again. β
"That girl, as you might expect, is Rielle's sister. β
"What's wrong with her?"
"At first I only regarded her as a gentle and knowledgeable but lonely aristocratic lady, and I have a very skillful process for this type of aristocratic lady. β
"I would venture to ask, did this process end up running away with the money?"
"How do you know that you too have been deceived by the bard?"
"No, I didn't. β
"Well, anyway, after I ran away, Lielle's sister, Noelle, she ......," said Lucius, with a pained expression on her face, "she was neither saddened, nor cried, nor foolishly continued to believe meβshe found me at once." β
"I can guess a little bit about what happened. β
"Not for me to say, I've been a bard for hundreds of years, and my escape technique is seamless, but wherever I flee, I'll be found by her in less than three days. What's even more terrifying is ...... She didn't scold me or hit me, she just gently held me in her arms and said softly, 'I knew you were such a person, I forgive you, and I love you deeply.' ββ
Thinking of this scene, Lucius shuddered again, "What she said is true, she really loves me." I can't kill someone like this for no reason, can I? So I had to run away, and I had planned to run away for a few years, and she would always be captured by her family. At this time...... The old lich suddenly found her. β
"Hahahaha. β
"The old lich didn't know if he was nervous, and he didn't know what agreement he made with Noelle, anyway, the two of them hit it off, and Noelle didn't hesitate to transform into a big demon, and then came here, quietly waiting for me to come back. β
"But you were so scared that you decided to find someone to take her away, so you found Rielle?"
"Yes. β
Liu Zijin shook his head: "Faint move...... First, Lielle may not take her away, and second, you not only attacked her, but also got involved with her sister...... It's inevitable that she won't do something impulsive. β
"It's better this way! If she kills me, there will be no problem!"
"Your thinking is very paradoxical, there is another possibility, what if Liel also transforms into a big demon?"
"Impossible! Merlin's magic has run out, and it will be at least twenty years before he gets it again. β
"I see. β
Liu Zijin paused, and then said, "So what are you going to do tomorrow?"
"I want you to help me put on a play......"
"Why should I play with you?"
Lucius was suddenly stunned, revealing a demented expression that had never considered that Liu Zijin would refuse.
"Because we're friends?"
"No, we're not friends, and we can never be friends......" Liu Zijin looked at the moon in the sky with a deep expression, "But I'll accompany you to act, how is the script ......?"
"Roughly ......"
