99. The night moon is bright
Outside of the cave where Fisher went to fetch the relics left by the Angels of Sorobatar, the Serpents, led by Tsubaki and Hookkiss and others, took out the contents of the tribe in an orderly manner, and Kakaro also said that he would go to his brother Kakaf to deliver a letter to explain that their clan had been deceived by the angels.
But Hook Kiss always feels that this thing is not so easy, although for the angels these things are easy things to do, but for the snake people is not like this, it is the experience of two whole generations, not to mention that they have done so many things for the angels, in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, no one will give up easily, and there may be a little hope?
However, this is not something that Hook Kiss should worry about, he is going to integrate the snake people according to Tsubaki's arrangement before, and of course this includes their items and the like
"So, these holy relics left over from your earlier were sold to the Dragon Heart Continent? But why haven't I seen it on the Dragon's Heart Continent before? ”
"We don't know very well, some of the holy relics were directly given to the fellow snakes in the Dragon Heart Continent, and some were sold to other subraces who needed it, but to be honest, there are not many such guests, because the races with too low rank either don't have money, or they simply can't use it."
According to Kakalo, the trade route that Tsubaki and Fisher discovered before was indeed their additional route, and Hook Kiss judged correctly, this road leads to the Dragon Heart Continent, but it will probably change hands many times in the middle, and it is not a direct sales model, only the holy relics brought to the snake people in the Dragon Heart Continent are direct.
The reason is that the distance of the sale is very long, and the distance between Longwei Island and Longxin Continent is like a moat, which is longer than the later generations from the southernmost point of the Southern Continent to the northernmost point and then across the entire Southern Ocean to the Western Continent, because at this moment, in the primitive landform without the intervention of the Mother Goddess, there are mountains between Longwei Island and the Longxin Continent.
The most common dealer of the snake race is a marine subhuman named "shark race", this race hook knows that it is a marine subspecies that lives in shallow seas, and it is impossible to fight with the whale race, and it is possible that these sharks brought sacred relics to the sea
Hookkiss's gaze flickered slightly, the snake people counted all kinds of items, Tsubaki still had to heal hundreds of slaves here, so it took far longer than they originally estimated, at least not for now.
"Well, I think that's fine. You can train its reflexes a little more. ”
Mikhail prepared some supper for the crowd, and then rested by the campfire, and when Hook Kiss passed by, he found him talking to himself, and he looked around with some confusion, but he was the only one by his side,
"What are you talking to yourself? Sick again? As for the Fisher, they haven't come back yet, it's dark. ”
Hook Kiss hurriedly used his curse to check the other party's state at this moment, but the result showed that everything was normal, and this guy's breath was still a little high, and he seemed a little happy?
No, what are you happy about talking to yourself?
Mikhail was startled by the sudden accosting of the hook kiss, and he immediately came back to look at the hook kiss next to him, only to realize that his eyes actually flashed a little bit of gospel light, as if they were different from his original microcomputer.
"I don't know where Fisher went, he didn't come out of the cave just now, except for the snake man who led the way was driven out, no one came out again, it's been almost half an hour, you can go and see."
Hook Kiss raised his eyebrows and turned around, instead of looking for Fisher, he kept staring at the other party's shining eyes and asked,
"Wait, wait, why are you talking to yourself, what's the situation, who are you talking to?"
Mikhail had turned his head, but he couldn't bear the curious hook kiss at the moment, he still pouted and said,
"Archangel Michael. It's just a little bit of a technical conversation so that progress can be faster. ”
"Oh, oh, progress could be a little faster. Wait, you guys aren't just talking to Michael Angel when you're resting in the house in the afternoon."
"No, I was sleeping."
“.”
Mikhail said so expressionlessly, but Hook Kiss squinted at him for a long time, and always felt that it was not convincing at all.
Mikhail was unnatural by him, so he handed the grilled food next to him to a string of hookkisses,
"Eat something and plug your mouth."
"No, I'm not hungry."
At the time of the conversation between Hookkiss and Mikhail, because it was already evening when he came out, and now he was busy with the matter of treating slaves and carrying goods, even if Tsubaki was a myth, it would not be possible to complete it in a moment, so soon the place was completely plunged into the darkness of the night.
The dark night was not stained with purple clouds, revealing the stars that appeared in and out of the sky and the moon that was not bright in the center.
At this time, it is the time of the full moon.
Hookkiss looked up at the moon in the sky and didn't talk to Mikhail anymore, he decided to go and see what was going on on Fisher's side, but before that, he still had a little private purpose to accomplish.
He slowly walked among the snake men, swept through the items piled up around him as if he had counted, and asked the other snake people by the way,
"By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the matter with the thieves who have been attacking your caravan lately?"
The group of snake people glanced at each other, spit out the letter hidden in their heads, and shook their heads one after another, but there were also a few snake people with higher status who knew a little bit of rumors,
"Well, I've heard something that may have something to do with the troubles of Kakaro and Kakaaf, because there is an equally powerful elephant tribe on Dragontail Island besides us, and they are different from us, they specialize in capturing human slaves. The Elephant Patriarch had many sons, and the youngest but strongest of them was said to be a cowardly character, and the Elephant Patriarch did not like him very much, and for the sake of our peace with them, he planned to marry this son to the daughter of our Kakaf boss."
Hook Kiss thought about the combination of the elephant race, which was about two or three meters tall, and the group of fat snake people in front of him, and for some reason, his body trembled, which seemed a little unimaginable.
"But the son of the patriarch was unwilling to accept such an arrangement, so he went mad on the way to marry him and a group of slaves, and after killing the attendants next to him and the interpreter of the Brain Demon Seed that we had invited, he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. But it must have been that he was very dissatisfied with his father's arrangement with us, so after he died, he turned into a ghost and attacked the caravans of our tribes on both sides
"And then because he died when he got married, it is estimated that he also has hatred for our Kakaaf boss's daughter, so when he sees a female, he will attack, but when he finds out that he finds out that it is not Kakaaf's daughter, he will put her back, and then keep looking for her, so scared that our boss's daughter does not dare to leave the boudoir, but this also shows that the son of the elephant patriarch is actually a very good person."
Hook Kiss raised an eyebrow, not believing much in such a ghost story.
In the past, when he was at the bottom of the sea, he believed that the sea ghost would eat the whale people who did not come home outside, and then the eaten whale species would turn into ghosts to seduce their compatriots to eat the sea ghosts, and the hook kiss was scared enough, and every time he saw the sea ghosts outside, he was afraid.
But since his wife heard about it and went into the sea ghost den and beat them all over the ocean, he didn't feel much fear of these things, and those fears were probably all transferred to his wife.
"So, your things have been stolen and people are panicking, and you'd rather go to the Ideal Country to ask us for help than go to that Sorobatar's angel for help? Could it be that he didn't leave you with some way to contact him? ”
Hook kiss touched his chin and said suspiciously.
But the snake people spit out the letter, but they seemed a little afraid,
"The angel of Sorobatar, I left us something to contact him, but he, after all, is an angel, and his temper seems to be very bad, Boss Kakaro and Boss Kakaf don't dare to contact him, usually he took the initiative to come to earth. We've never met him, and it's good that he doesn't get angry with us, let alone go to him for help."
"Oh, something to contact him, what's that?"
One of the snake men spat out a letter, turned and rummaged through the crowd of items placed on the beach outside, and soon found a glowing horn. Hook Kiss recognized it at a glance, it was a complete holy relic, and it didn't seem to be a holy relic of the Gospel of Life.
"Well, that's it, it's said that if you blow it, the angel will feel that we're calling him, but Lord Kakaro has never done that."
"Well, that's right, thank you."
Hook Kiss seemed to be a little curious, gently reached out and took the horn handed over by the other party's fleshy little hand, and was silent for a moment before squeezing these words out of his throat.
But before he could say anything more, Fisher, who was leading the camel, had come out of the cave in the sand. Hookkiss slowly put the horn back in place, then beckoned to him, motioning for him to come over.
At the same time, in the ideal country at the same moment, under the cloudless night and the night breeze, the smoke of cooking rose from the settlements of all ethnic groups in the ideal country, symbolizing that the vitality of eating is so precious at this moment.
While the candlelight flickered on the stone tower in the center, Asuka Karasawa quietly watched the deep moonlight below, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Asuka, it's time to eat."
"Ah, all right, Lady Margaret"
Hearing the call of the gentle woman behind her, Asuka Karasawa came back to her senses, took her eyes back from the smoke below, and turned back to Margaret, who was smiling with the dishes behind her.
Looking closely, there were already a lot of extremely tasty-looking foods on the table, and the elegant Western food decorated with meat steaks and unknown flowers suddenly brightened Karasawa Asuka's eyes, these foods he had never seen before, even when he was in Japan before, he would not have had such an opportunity to enjoy such a chance before.
"Oh my God, the food is so beautiful, Lady Margaret, your craftsmanship is truly amazing."
"Just call me Margaret, Asuka. Originally, I didn't use any of the ingredients I was good at, but my mother told me when she taught me how to cook, and there are a lot of weird-looking foods in French food, but they are all delicious. Have you ever eaten baked snails, Asuka? ”
"Snails?"
Tang Ze Asuka looked at Margaret in front of her blankly, as if she was a little shocked, that appearance made Margaret laugh, she sat in the position with her mouth covered, and pushed the cutlery and other utensils in front of her by the way,
"Don't worry, I've tried it, the snails here can't be eaten, Tsubaki told me, you don't have to worry."
"Oh oh, I. I didn't say that eating snails was bad, but I might not be used to it. ”
"Haven't you eaten these before, and what are you calling them them?"
"Western food?"
"Ah, that's pretty much the name."
Asuka Karasawa picked up the knife in her left hand, pouted, and said,
"No, I haven't eaten before, my mom can't cook, and even if she does, she won't cook for me."
Margaret noticed her low mood, because the words became quieter and quieter as she went, so she did not ask the reason, but said with a smile,
"Then I'll make it for you to eat, try it and see if it's delicious."
"Hmm!"
As soon as Asuka Karasawa wanted to cut the meat, Margaret smiled and reached out to swap the knife and fork she was holding in reverse, and then raised her hand to indicate the specific method, and slowly taught Asuka Karasawa to use the knife and fork to cut the meat chop.
Margaret is very good at cooking, the previous dessert macarons were like this, and now the formal dishes are even more like this, Tang Ze Asuka just took a bite and felt that her taste buds were impacted, and her whole little face turned red with happiness.
Well, she hadn't eaten much during this time, and the angels didn't eat when she was in the Sanctuary, relying on the fruit that Helaire had brought with her; The food of the elves in the Tree Continent tastes good, but the appearance is too weird, and Tang Ze Asuka just doesn't look like he has any appetite; And when in the field, Mr. Fisher cooks. Well, Mr. Fisher only knows how to grill meat, and doesn't seem to be very good at cooking
Tasting food is the easiest and most straightforward way to feel happy, and Asuka Karasawa believes so.
"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious! It's so delicious, Lady Margaret."
"Margaret, just call me Margaret, Asuka."
"Oooh, Ma. Ms. Margaret. ”
Tang Ze Asuka paused, chewed on the name, and with the acquiescence of the other party's smile, he called it two more times.
The taste of this dinner was very good, although Asuka Karasawa was still a little unnatural at first, because her familiar companions were not around at this time, and just now Margaret also invited Helaire and Nekolia to come over, but the people below said that they had already eaten by themselves, and Margaret had to give up.
The two of them were enjoying the food, and they were talking about some of the things they didn't have, about where they came from, about their past,
"1996, that's a long, long time after me, what happened in 40 years?"
"I'm uh-huh. I'm sorry, my history isn't very good, I only know what happened after I was born, and only things about my hometown, sorry. ”
"What is there to be sorry for, it's normal, when I was young I only knew about a few villages near Montmedy, even after the Maginot Line, my husband went to the army and I moved to Paris, I only knew very few things in the world."
"Margaret. Is the husband a military man? ”
"Ah, yes, but he died in the war, and not long after, my child died."
"Martyrdom?"
"Well, I don't know."
Hearing Margaret's words that seemed a little lonely, Asuka Karasawa also felt a little sad in her heart as if she was empathetic, but at this time she also seemed to understand why Margaret refused Pandora's angel's reward.
Except for the affairs of the ideal country, even if she returns to her own world, there is no one to worry about, right?
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, anyway, thank you for your help, we're making fast progress. To celebrate, cheers? ”
Margaret smiled, and she raised her hand to the wooden cup beside her, and a little wine-scented elixir was splashed from it. It was at this time that Asuka Karasawa discovered that there was also a wooden cup next to her plate.
Is this wine?
But I'm not an adult yet.
"Cheers."
But no matter what, Asuka Karasawa swallowed a mouthful of saliva and raised the cup in her hand and touched it with the cup that Margaret had raised, and then she closed her eyes, with the caution that everyone tried something for the first time
After taking a sip, she only felt the sweetness of the juice.
Tang Ze Asuka blinked, looked at Margaret in front of her who took a sip of wine and blushed, only to see her smile and say,
"You're not an adult, how can you drink, you're juice."
"Then Margaret won't tell me, so I thought I'd like to."
"Haha, because you're so cute."
Asuka Karasawa shyly took a sip of juice, but her heart was beating excitedly.
At this moment, even in such a simple conversation, she seemed to feel an indescribable feeling, but she had never felt it in detail, as if Margaret in front of her was her mother, with such a tacit connection without words.
Are they related? Do they look alike?
How is it possible, Margaret is white and she is Asian.
Perhaps this is very different from the relationship between a real mother and daughter? But Asuka Karasawa didn't know, after all, she didn't seem to have felt such a warmth, and of course she couldn't qualify such a feeling.
She just felt that it was so warm and relaxed in front of Margaret, which was a pleasure that she had never felt before.
"The moon outside is very round, it's a rare full moon. But since I came into this world, I have rarely had the leisure to observe these scenes, and this is the first time I have done this. ”
Margaret drank some wine, which was brewed by the races of the Dragon Continent themselves, and was given to Margaret as a gift to receive them at that time.
She looked at the full moon outside, and seemed to be as relaxed as Asuka Karasawa at this time.
"Well, it's beautiful. But didn't Mr. Fisher and Tsubaki say they would be back by night, why haven't they come back yet? ”
"There may be something else, I'll contact them later with the items Tsubaki gave me."
"Well, thank you, Margaret."
Margaret looked at Asuka in front of her drunkenly, and then she took another sip of her drink and whispered,
"Don't worry, our progress is much, much faster than I thought, it is estimated that it will be completed in a week, and you can also go back to your hometown by then, won't we have a banquet then, as a farewell."
"Banquet?"
"It's not a banquet, it's a traditional festival in my hometown. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon of the equinox, and I used to celebrate it a lot, giving gifts and cooking a lot of good food. When the time comes, when the loom is completely controlled and the situation of the ideal country is safe, I will take this day as a commemorative holiday, what do you think? ”
"Okay, will there be so many delicious foods then?"
Margaret smiled dumbly, she touched her cheek and said,
"If you want, I can do it for you tomorrow."
"That's great, thank you! I want to eat a few more meals before I go back to Japan, but I won't be able to eat anymore."
"I can teach you, and you can do it yourself when the time comes."
"Oh, really?"
"Really, that's what my mom told me before, and then I learned that it was delicious everywhere I went."
Tang Ze Asuka was slightly stunned, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she nodded vigorously, patting her chest and reassuring,
"I'll do my best!"
"Haha, you're so cute, it's not something that needs to be guaranteed, you'll soon learn my specialty, and then my 'Française Médy Country' style will be considered a successor."
"Franco-French Monte Medi Country Pie?"
"Ah, just a current name, I used to think that my daughter would be a chef when she grew up."
"Is she interested in cooking at such a young age?"
"No, it's just because she likes to eat a lot, but people who like to eat are not bad at food sensitivity, well, it's really not good, and the Française Monte Medi Country School can also refer to other areas."
"Hahaha"
At night, the candle flame on the tower flickered slightly, obscuring the conversation between the two women with a certain age gap.
The golden glow in the pool slowly dimmed, getting farther and farther away from reality, and the breeze on the sky rose again, bringing a hint of spring warmth to the eternal land and customs. And the full moon, which was very similar to the moon of the world from which they came, was so quiet, and the resulting crystal moonlight silently illuminated the distance between them, highlighting the bitterness of alcohol and the sweetness of juice.
It was at this moment that the night moon was shining.
