Chapter 46: The Angry Cook (Part II)

The battle outside the tavern was over, and the men of the Pitchfork squad sat or stood, confronting the dragoons in a defensive formation.

There was the corpse of a cavalryman and his mount on the ground, and apparently the soldiers of the Golden Hammer chose to defend after a brief trial, and the tenants of the A51 would not be stupid enough to attack an entire squad of regular troops head-on.

Seeing Ryuhime, Sibi, and Jonah appear, the head of the room exclaimed in surprise, "You're all okay......, great! Well, this person is ......."

"Hello, mighty warrior. Chope greeted him.

"Thank you, Knight...... Aren't you the head of the bad guy?!" Toba's big bare head squeaked and steamed.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I don't want to fight. The dragon knight spread his hands and said.

"Uncle, there's a monster granny in there!" Sibi swooped onto Toba's shoulder.

Elliot suspiciously glanced at the slightly mentally unhealthy people who came out of the tavern, and inserted his sword into the scabbard: "We need to find out what's going on inside." Roommate, don't let your guard go. The unicorn's hooves clattered, and the Rose Knight walked through the broken door and into the tavern.

The remaining seven dragoons stared at each other in confusion, and Chope waved his hand: "All down, don't be so nervous." Where's my 'pearl'?"

"At the entrance to the canyon, Marshall is guarding it, my lord. One of the dragoons rolled over from his mount and replied respectfully with his hand on his right chest.

"Got it. Bizier, collect the identity cards of the three people killed in the battle, and don't let the military judge gossip. The dragon knight said to the black-clothed retinue behind him.

"Yes, sir. The cavalry limped away.

Jonah looked at the soldiers who were wounded by Ryuhime in the battle just now and the dozen or so wounded who were slashed by the soldiers and survived, and felt that the worldview was a little confused. Ryuki walked over slowly, leaning over to him wearily, and Jonah looked at her bloodless face to ask something, thought about it, and gave up again.

That's when Elliott appeared. A confused look appeared on the Rose Knight's face, "The lady in the tavern told us all to go in and have a cup of moon grass tea. He conveyed.

The pitchfork looked at Toba, and the head of the room bowed his head and played with the little round hat without any assertiveness, "Let's go, at least it doesn't hurt." Chope interjected, arranging for the dragoons to rest on their own, and returned to the tavern first.

"Let's go?" said Jonah, looking at Ryuhime.

"Hmm. Ryuhime replied weakly.

After an inexplicable battle, the six re-enter the tavern known as the "Cutting Board" side by side with the enemy.

As soon as he entered the door, Jonah's little soul, which had been battered today, was struck again: the corpses, bloodstains, broken tables and stools, and mud-crushed apple pies in the tavern had all miraculously disappeared, and there was no evidence of a fierce battle in the empty cavern, except for a few cracks in the floor, not even of a tavern ten minutes ago.

A long line of sunlight illuminated the proprietress and two waitresses, who sat at a small folding table with her flour-stained apron and looked a little angry, and on the table was a beautiful carved teatray with a plate of biscuits, seven delicate bone china teacups, and a teapot with a faint fragrance.

"Sit down, finish this cup of tea, forget what happened here, and stop being naughty in the future. The proprietress said angrily.

The red-haired Jophany smiled, arranged for everyone to sit on a small folding stool, and poured a cup of pale blue tea for each person, "Do you want sugar and milk?" she handed over the small silver spoon and asked diligently, Chope and Sibby asked for sugar and milk, Jonathan asked for milk, and Elliott asked for a laurel stick.

The aroma of hot moon grass tea makes everyone feel refreshed.

"Grandma, will we lose our memories after drinking this cup of tea?" asked Sibbi, with wide eyes.

"Read less knightly novels, I say. The proprietress snorted, "This is the highest quality moon grass produced in the glacial region of the northern continent, it is guarded by wolves day and night, and the caravan has been interrupted since the start of the war, and this is the last bit I have left." ”

"That's right, the last ounce. With his hands behind his back, Biller confirmed, the bar waiter still looked grim.

Jonah picked up his teacup and took a sip. The tea was very hot, but the smell of tea seemed very cold, which made him tremble, shook his head, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his headache had been reduced a lot, and his spirit was gradually concentrated.

"Ma'am," he asked, carefully considering his words, "thank you for the refreshments, the tea is really good, but I'm confused." What the hell is going on here?"

"Good question!" the proprietress came to her senses, "If the temperature is too high when boiling tea, it will destroy the surface crystallization of the moon grass leaves, so that the taste will turn into steam and run away, if the temperature is too low, it will not be able to draw out the aroma of the tea leaves at all, so you can call it 'the proprietress moon grass tea', who else but me can maintain the proper temperature for five minutes and ten seconds, so that the moon grass tea can become a real work of art?"

"Uh...... I don't think that's what the magician brother wants to ask. But again, praise the taste of this tea, delicious! I can drink as much as I can. Chope raised his glass. Jophany lifted the teapot and filled it up.

"What do you want to ask?" the proprietress raised her eyebrows.

"Wait a minute!" Elliot, who had been frowning since just now, suddenly spoke, and the people all looked up at him, and he was frighteningly tall on top of the unicorn to the crowd sitting on the folding stool.

"I think I know," the Rose Knight twined his fingers around his temples, his blue eyes shining with a sharp light, "you're ......"

"You guessed it. Biller said with a sad face, turning to the proprietress and saying, "We should also go." ”

"Alas, there are wars everywhere, and it's really getting harder and harder to find a place where you can open a good store...... Troublemakers, I say, I hope that when I see you again, you will be able to taste the food of the proprietress seriously, and stop fighting and killing. Let's go. The silver-haired proprietress stood up and patted her apron.

"Goodbye, handsome guys. Jofanie winked her eyes at Chop.

"Say goodbye, gentlemen. Piller bowed dejectedly.

Two waiters followed in the footsteps of the proprietress into the darkness deep in the cave. The footsteps faded away until nothing could be heard, and Sibi jumped up and ran to see that in the depths of the cave was a solid rock wall, with no gaps or secret doors, and the three of them disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Seven people sat quietly and drank tea. In the middle of the night, Jonah asked, "What just happened?"

"I don't know much about it. It was a failure, for me, and the two dragon knights had no news at all, they had somehow killed so many people, and their armor had been broken," Chopper painstakingly stroked the wound cut by the skull blade on his scale armor, "and three soldiers died." The regimental commander will punish me for cleaning the horse pen. ”

"Maybe we know about the Dragon Knight?" said Sibby.

The dragon knight shook his head, "It's too expensive to want you to speak, since you are not the Left Wing Liberation Army, there is no reason to fight." I'd better save my energy and drink tea. By the way, the tea is really good, I promise it's not a compliment to that quirky hostess. He picked up the teapot and shook it, looking a little frustrated to hear that there was not much left of the remaining Moon Grass Tea.

"You killed dozens of people, innocent people. Jonah said.

Chope looked at him a little strangely: "Innocent people, we are the conquerors of the Western Continent." ”

"Xinding. Sibi said disdainfully.

"Where there is no law, there is no innocence, dear little magician, let's talk about ethics when order is re-established in the Western Continent. By the way, reveal some information, the Bazelar strategy is almost complete. The dragon knight said.

"Did the royal city really fall?" asked Elliot.

"Yes, five days ago. The king committed suicide, and the Sutherland royal family fled east, now hiding in the fortress of Mortimer, the sturdy stone building on the way to the royal city. It's hard to fight. Chope did not shy away from revealing military information.

"The heir to the royal family has appeared?" asked the Rose Knight.

"That's right, it is said that the princess named Abidelle became the queen......" Chope was saying as Sibby and Jonah pounced on him at the same time to cover his mouth and peek at Toba, the roommaster absentmindedly pinching the teacup that was small to him like a toy, studying the texture of the floor, and not seeming to hear. The two breathed a sigh of relief, and the dragon knight asked with his eyes, "What are you doing?" Jonah quickly let go and apologized.

"Sibi, you and the head of the chamber are both from Bazeral. Ryuji spoke.

"yes. But don't worry, I don't have any stupid ethnic plots, and I don't have the slightest affection for my hometown. "Sibi doesn't seem to want to talk much about it.

"By the way!" Jonah stood up suddenly, stammering a little from excitement, "St. Boran, did the Redstone Castle fall to you with a golden hammer?"

"Oh yes. You're from St. Bouron. Do you want to duel with me?" Chope touched the hilt of his sword indifferently.

"No, no, I just want to ask, did you attack the Astrology Tower? That tower in the middle of the Red Plains is not too far from the Red Stone Castle. Jonah asked eagerly.

"The tower of astrology? Wait......" Chope thought for a moment as he grabbed his flaxen curls, "and immediately after the capture of the Redstone Keep, the Golden Hammer drove south into Bazelar, and then His Majesty Jerizavitan announced the tearing up of the Joint Amnesty Decree, and we were already near the royal city of Bazelar. If anyone were to attack the Tower of Astrology, it would be another dragoon unit, the Raven Legion, that would later be stationed in St. Bouren. You'd better ask the raven's guy. ”

"Raven Corps. Jonah sat down and muttered. Still no news of Mentor Koshavoy......

Ryuji patted his arm for comfort.

"What are the two Golden Earth Dragon Knights you're looking for?" asked Elliott.

"I'm not going to tell you...... Unless you hand me the sugar cubes. The dragon knight replied good-naturedly.

Elliott bent down and deftly picked up the sugar cube with his scabbard and tossed it to Chope.

Chope added two pieces of sugar to the last cup of Moon Herb Tea, thought for a moment, added another one, and stirred it with a silver spoon, "Those two guys are the messengers of the Golden Hammer, you may not know, Captain Isaakios has some personal relations with the Colombo tribes, in fact, the technique of throwing the spear of the Golden Hammer Dragoons is based on the Colombo people's spear throwing technique. The commander wanted to inform the Colombo people that after the complete conquest of Bazelar, the Zavi Empire would send troops to continue the sweep eastward, expelling the natives, establishing a new port on the north bank of the Holy River, and opening a new route to the southern continent. ”

"New port?" the Rose Knight gasped.

"Yes, after the unification of the Western Continent, His Majesty the King has some interest in the legendary rich Golden City of the Southern Continent. Chope smiled charmingly.

"What about Cherry Crossing?" asked several people in unison.

"Judging from what the head of the group wants to be, he will let Cherry Ferry go freely. Daddy is an immortal legend that has been circulating on this continent for fifty years, and the head of the regiment thinks that he should be given enough respect. Don't worry, the friends of Sakuradu. The dragon knight drank the tea in his cup and stood up, "It's time for my 'pearl' to eat, just say goodbye friends, judging from your expressions, the disappearance of the two dragon knights is inseparable from Cherry Watari, but it's still up to the head of the regiment to decide, I'm just a nobody." When we meet again, I hope we can still sit down and have tea, but if we have to fight, I hope that neither side will show mercy. Goodbye, friends, - goodbye, mysterious Miss Orient. ”

Chope gave a deep salute to the crowd with his hand on his right chest, glanced meaningfully at Ryuhime, smiled, and turned to walk out of the tavern door. "Queue!" his voice came from outside the tattered gate, "Let's go!" The Earth Dragon let out a low roar and rumbled to the ground, and the cavalry of the Zavi Empire faded away.

"Don't want to fight him. Elliott said.

"Tell me who she is, who is she, who is she?" Sibi finally couldn't help it, jumped up and hugged the thigh of the Rose Knight and asked, "Tell me who that old lady is, who is it, who is it?"

"Let's get out of here first, and then talk slowly, the Archon of the Sukasa Gorge is about to appear, and it will be very troublesome. "Elliott sells off.

The sunlight that entered the door ** was obscured. "I've arrived. A voice said.
