Adel smiled slightly, pointed to the hut next to the passage, and said, "There's dinner served there." ”

Then he took Horn inside, and there were two plates of food in the stone house, and it was so dark that I couldn't tell what it was made of. Horn was hungry at this time, so he ate it when he picked it up.

"Wow", a fishy smell came from the mouth. The intense nausea caused Horn to spit up the food. He hadn't eaten anything worse than this until now. I thought, "Is this kind of food a thing?" Pigs eat better than this.

Hurriedly pushed the plate of food away and said, "What is this, how can I eat it?" ”

On the other hand, Adel on the side unhurriedly put the food into his mouth, as if he was completely accustomed to the fishy smell and did not take it seriously at all. While eating, he said, "This is made of the flesh of a lizard, and it is a specialty here." It's okay, it's a staple food in the future, and you'll get used to it, just like me. ”

When Horn heard that he was going to eat something worse than pig food, his stomach was sick again, and he retched and asked, 'Is there no other food here?'

Adel looked at Horn helplessly and said, "Yes, yes...... I can't afford to eat it, though. ”

"What's going on?"

"Did you know that Mr. Dupont had a nickname?"

"Yes, Daredevil. Horn replied.

"I'm referring to another ......"

"You mean vampires?" Horn thought of another nickname for DuPont.

Adel nodded and said, "That's right, this nickname is not for nothing. It means that he is addicted to money, and you know how expensive the tuition is. That's enough money to feed thousands of people for a year. The only free food served here is the meat of this lizard, which is said to be nutritious and energy-replenishing, and it is a specialty that cannot be found anywhere else. But in fact, there is an earthy smell in the meat of this lizard, which cannot be removed no matter how you cook it, and the meat is dry and astringent, so it can be said that it is not something that people eat at all. DuPont used this method to force those who could not eat this kind of food to buy food from him at a high price in order to achieve the purpose of making money. ”

Adair said, a kind of resentment in his tone, and even the honorific title of "teacher" was omitted.

Horn was stunned, he knew that DuPont was greedy, but he didn't expect to be so greedy that he paid so much tuition and had to squeeze on food. But fortunately, I have a cart of food, so I'm not afraid of not eating. However, out of curiosity, he asked, "How high does DuPont put other foods?"

"How high is it...... Can you imagine that a four-pound piece of dried meat is sold for a silver coin on the outside. Here he had to sell fifty gold coins, which was five thousand times more expensive. The daily food outside has become a luxury in his hands. You say it's not a vampire......" Speaking of this, Adel had such a calm personality, and he couldn't help but explode in anger, and slapped the table hard.

After hearing a bang, the table made of solid wood, which was about ten centimeters thick, was smashed apart by Adair. And the two plates of food on the table fell to the ground, which was completely finished.

The two couldn't help but stare at each other for a while. After a long time, Adel said embarrassedly: "This ...... I was so excited that I couldn't help but use the "Force". You don't have anything to eat, but there's nothing else to eat here...... Well, I'll go buy something from DuPont. ”

Seeing that Adair was about to get up, Horn hurriedly stopped him and said, "No need, I brought a lot of things with me when I came, I'll go get them." ”

Adel said suspiciously, "Really?"

Horn nodded, then ran back to his room. I took some dry food and a dozen catties of dried meat, as well as a jar of wine.

After a while, Horn put things down. Adele's eyes lit up as he looked at the food. Especially when I saw the jar of wine, my throat couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

Horn looked at Adele's expression. It was speechless for a while, and the food that was normal outside made it so out of shape. It's been a long time since I've eaten normal food, and the guy in front of me, who has always been calm, has lost his demeanor.

He greeted Adel and said, "Come on...... You're welcome. ”

Adel didn't care about being polite at this time, and directly tore off a piece of the dried meat and chewed it heavily. Pick up the jar of wine, pull up the wine stopper, raise your head and take several sips. He took a long breath and said, "Pure rum, it's really strong......"

Horn grabbed the dry food and ate it again. Although the dry food didn't taste good, it was much better than the lizard meat just now, at least it could be eaten.

After gobbling it up, the two poured a whole jar of rum. Horn barely drank some, most of it from Adair.

After a full meal, Adel was already a little drunk. Drunk, his tongue is a little bigger, and he talks a lot.

Adel laughed inexplicably, and kept patting Horn's shoulder with his hand. The force slapped Horn in a faint pain. Horn hurriedly grabbed a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into Adelle's hand, and pretended to persuade: "Eat more, eat more, you're welcome, there's still ...... when it's over."

Adel had the dried meat in his hand, and finally stopped patting Horn on the shoulder. made Horn breathe a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that it would be better to drink less with Adair in the future, otherwise his shoulder would probably be patted off by him.

Adel burped and said, "Horn...... Today is the most ...... I've drunk The happiest day. Ever since I came here, I've been eating all day long and I've forgotten what jì meat tastes like. If you want anything in the future, just look for me. ”

Horn knew that Adel was talking drunk, and immediately responded, "Okay, I'll ask you for help with something." ”

However, there are some things he has never understood, and the people who can come here to learn from Du Pont are basically not the children of nobles, or the sons of wealthy merchants. Since things are so expensive here, why wouldn't they buy some things for themselves?

Adair said helplessly: "It's not that we don't bring things. When I was looking for DuPont to learn art, I only knew that I wanted to study art here, and I couldn't go out. At that time, I was worried about food. I didn't expect to be deceived by Dupont, a vampire. At that time, he said that the tuition fee included room and board, and he was right. It's just that you said that the shit just now can be called food? And said that if you can't get used to eating free food, there is also food for sale outside. I didn't expect this vampire to sell things so expensive. Just like we eat these things now, if you buy them from vampires, it will cost at least one or two hundred gold coins. If this is outside, how many delicacies from the mountains and seas will be worth this price......"

As he finished speaking, Adel took a hard bite of the dried meat in his hand. As if biting Dupont's meat, chew it hard for a few bites to relieve your anger. After a while, he said, "The family that can come here still has some money." But something as expensive as this, even if the emperors of the three empires come to eat it, it is estimated that it will be eaten poor. Therefore, the students who came here couldn't bear it, and they wouldn't go to DuPont to buy things. And that's not all, as long as you need DuPont's help here, you have to pay extra. ”

Suddenly remembering something, he continued: "Just like that Justin today, his injuries can't be solved without thousands of gold coins if they are treated by vampires. So he'd rather be treated by that old madman than healed by this vampire. ”

Hearing this, Horn understood why DuPont wanted to help Justin with treatment, but Justin refused. I couldn't help but ask, "Who is that Haobot you are talking about? Is it here?"

"Howbot,......" Adair thought for a moment and said, "This guy is crazy. After a pause, he continued: "That's right, you're a madman. He lives in that castle, that is, with vampires. The vampire seems to live on the upper floor, and the lower floor is the real room of the madman. ”

Horn was confused and asked, "How can Holbot be a madman?"

Adel shook his head and said, "I said he was crazy, but I just said he acted like a madman." He's actually a Level 3 Arcanist, and he doesn't seem to have a relationship with the vampire Dupont that he has. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the lower floor of the castle a real room for him. You know, the vampire hid all his money in the castle. With his money-hungry personality, we are not allowed to go inside. And this madman Hao Bot doesn't study magic, but he pours some potions in the real yàn room all day long, and often asks us to make his real yàn body, and invents some strange potions all day long for us to drink......"

Speaking of this, Adel seemed to remember some bad memory, his face turned blue and white, and he looked frightened.

Horn didn't understand what Adel was afraid of, but judging by the look on his face, it wasn't a good thing that could make him so scared.

After Adel calmed down, he didn't want to bring up the memories that were making him painful. After a pause, he said, "You just said that you brought a lot of things. How many?"

Horn nodded and said, "Yes, there's a big wagon, what's wrong?"

Adel smiled and said cautiously, "You also know that vampire sells things so expensive, and this food is so unpalatable......"

Horn understood that Adel was trying to get him to give him some food. Although he has a lot of stuff, it's okay to send some to Adele. Said happily: "I understand what you mean. I'll give you a hundred pounds of dried meat and a jar of rum, and you'll be here to get it when you're done." ”

Adel hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I won't take your things for nothing." I mean, can you sell some to me at a cheaper price. As long as it's not as outrageous as the vampires sell......"

Horn shook his head and said, "You're welcome, if it weren't for this kind of place." Something like this, I guess it's too much trouble for you to send it. ”

Adel still insisted, saying: "No, our Duruff family does not have the habit of taking other people's things for nothing. If you let others know about your things for nothing, our family's honor will become a laughing stock. ”
