"What? You're going to that legendary ruin, too?" a few hours later, a woman's shouting came from a room in the Oriental restaurant.

The woman, who was a restaurateur and a cook, was surprised when she heard that Lucius wanted to go to the ruins: "Do you know what the ruins are? ”

"The gods have fallen, Auntie, is it so terrible there?" asked Lucius with an innocent look on his face when he heard this.

The cook lady said with a stern expression: "Of course, whether it is the Holy See or the temple, they all want to explore there, but over the years, I don't know how many people have died there, and it is rare to meet someone who can understand the oriental script, so I advise you not to join in the fun, so as not to lose your life in vain." ”

Speaking of this, the cook seemed to remember something, stared at Lucius angrily, and said, "Also, little one, you are not allowed to call me 'aunt', do you hear?"

"But Auntie, why do you want to go if it's so dangerous there?"

"Knock" As soon as Lucius's words fell, the cook gave him a violent shudder and said: "It's all said, you are not allowed to call me 'aunt', and then call you to blow your head, how do you know that I am going to the ruins? I am just a cook, how can I have the ability to go to the ruins?"

"Well, big ......," Lucius cried out as he covered his head, and quickly changed his words, "why would you open a restaurant in Brenos if it weren't for the ruins?" and you are slender, with toned legs, and are obviously a powerful warrior in martial arts. ”

After a pause, Lucius continued: "And the guys in your restaurant, who are obviously good at fighting, and should always fight to the death. ”

When the cook heard Lucius say so much, she couldn't help but be shocked, squinted her eyes at Lucius and said, "Boy, who are you?"

Sensing the unkindness in the cook's eyes, Lucius hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Don't, don't get excited, I'm really just an adventurer, and besides, I hope to join your team." ”

Hearing Lucius say this, the cook finally understood his true intentions, her expression changed suddenly, and she looked at Lucius indifferently and said, "You already know our identity, you deliberately shouted the name of the restaurant at the door of the restaurant, the purpose is to lure me out?"

The cook exuded hostility, and Lucius smiled and waved his hand and said, "Auntie, don't get excited, you also know that a little guy like me, if I join someone else's team, it will definitely cause trouble." ”

"And the guys in your restaurant, including minotaurs, dwarves, gnomes, and even elves, show that your team is inclusive enough to tolerate people of different faiths and origins, so with my words, your team will definitely be stronger. ”

"Smack" The cook slammed the wooden table, stood up and stepped on the chair with one foot, bent down, approached Lecius with a pair of plump chests, and said fiercely: "Stinky boy, what do you want? Why did the old lady take you, and you had better explain clearly, how did you think of finding us?"

Seeing the sturdy appearance of the cook, Lucius smiled and explained: "Hehe, it's actually very simple, you have been in this neighborhood for so long, you must know very well who those adventurers are outside?"

"Thirteen groups of people have paid attention to me since I entered the block, ten of them are obviously hostile, or they see me as a fat sheep to be targeted, and of the remaining three groups, two of them are obviously the ranks of some big force, and they will pay attention to every lone adventurer who enters the block. ”

Listening to Lucius's eloquent words, the cook was shocked, she didn't expect that this young boy in front of her, like a fledgling aristocratic young master, was so observant that he could detect all the people who observed him in the market.

"And we, huh?"

Seeing that Lucius nodded, the cook squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe, little guy, your observation skills are good, but you didn't realize that in fact, there are a group of people who are secretly observing you, and those people are people from the Holy See." ”

Hearing this, Lucius's heart was shocked, and he carefully recalled that he had passed along the way, and after pondering for a long time, he didn't realize where the people of the Holy See that the cook said were observing him.

Seeing Lucius's frowns, the cook had a smile on her face: "Hehe, little guy, don't think about it, those guys in the Holy See don't have to show up to observe you." ”

Hearing what the cook said, Lu Xiuston was relieved, and said with a pure smile on his face: "Auntie, are you willing to let me join?"

"Dong" gave Lucius another violent shudder, and the cook lady said angrily: "Again, don't call me 'aunt', go outside to help first, if you are good, you can consider letting you join us." ”

With that, the cook slipped up Lucius and threw her into the utility room at the back of the kitchen: "Boy, you change your clothes first, and then wash all the dishes in the backyard." ”

Lucius gladly accepted the cook's order, and quickly put on the clothes of the restaurant handyman, but when he walked to the backyard of the restaurant and saw the mountains of plates, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Auntie, are you, do you want me to wash the dishes for the rest of my life?"

Sighing helplessly, in order to be able to join the team of the cook, Lucius could only throw himself into the mountain of plates.

At the same time, the two old guys in the old one-eyed dragon shop stopped fighting and watched with great interest the whole process of Lucius's entry into the Oriental restaurant through the alchemy array of the old alchemist.

"Old man, this kid's observation is indeed amazing, he can find those who secretly follow him, and he can choose the most suitable team for him, but that woman from the East is not a good stubble, are you sure, do you really not plan to come forward to say hello?"

Hearing the words of the old one-eyed dragon, the old alchemist frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "No, since that kid chose that oriental woman, then we have to believe in his choice, not to mention that the oriental woman is around her, following so many different races, obviously she has her uniqueness." ”

As he spoke, the old alchemist waved his hand to erase the alchemy array, looked at the old one-eyed dragon and said, "The rest of the way is up to him, unless necessary, I will not come forward." ”

"What? Afraid of being discovered by those guys from the Holy See? Actually, you can go back to the Temple of Magic, aren't those guys very welcome to go back? Didn't the king also say that our brotherhood is tolerant, and even if you go back, no one in the church will exclude you. ”

The old alchemist smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, there will be no one in the society who will exclude me, but what about those guys in the Magic Temple? They want me to go back, but they are just coveting my research, not to mention, the current Magic Temple has become a lackey of the Holy See." ”

"Oh, well, well, everything has changed now, since the technology of the source core has spread, everything has changed, the power of the Holy See is getting bigger and bigger, and now the magic temple is also attached to the past, no wonder only the team of the temple of nature and the temple of barbarism is seen in the city. ”

The old one-eyed dragon was lonely, walked into the wooden counter, and asked as he cleaned up his things: "Old stubborn, do you really think that Lucius can enter the ruins and obtain the most mysterious mechanical source core that the gods fear?"

"Who knows? The ruins have not been opened for many years, and the glorious sanctuary has finally fallen and become a ruin that has been constantly explored, and who knows what will happen in the future? ”

Listening to the words of the old alchemist, the old one-eyed dragon was silent, lowered his head to clean up the things on the counter, until he heard the sound of the door closing, raised his head and glanced at the empty shop, and couldn't help sighing: "Hey, hope, is there really a zài?"

Regardless of whether there is really hope or not, anyway, now Lucius feels that there is no hope in his life, and when Kate the Minotaur comes with a pile of plates, Lucius almost feels like he is about to collapse.

He took out his pale hand from the water, stood up and stared at the stack of plates, and finally couldn't help but roar: "Damn bastard, are you going to let me wash the dishes and die here?"

As if not hearing his roar, the minotaur put down the stack of plates and turned away, leaving Lucius standing alone in the empty yard, facing the pile of plates in front of him.

At this moment, Lucius really regretted a little: "Why do you want to choose a cook? I knew that it was better to go to those two groups, at least I didn't have to wash the dishes." ”

But complaining aside, Lucius sat down again, reached out and picked up the plate beside him, buried his head in the huge pond, and quickly cleaned the dirt from the plate.

As night falls, the border town of Brenos becomes more and more lively, and a large number of adventurers pour into the city, apparently trying their luck at the ruins, which contain too many legends that people yearn for.

Whether it is the Holy See, the temple and other big forces, or scattered adventurers, they are all looking forward to finding their own opportunities and treasures in it.

Of course, among the people who poured into Brenos, there were also some people who did not want to explore the ruins, they gathered in the city, just to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, such as buying and selling some news about the ruins, or the inside story of some big forces, these seemingly false things, but there are always some fools who will be fooled.

The city's once violent and bloody neighborhoods have become surprisingly peaceful due to the arrival of the Holy See and the Temple procession, and they are as well-behaved as the girl next door.

Lucius, who had been brushing the dishes all afternoon, finally ushered in relief: "Hey, boy, the proprietress asked you to go to the kitchen to help, and you don't need to wash the dishes here." ”

Hearing this, Lucius's whole body was like a spring breeze, he dropped the half-washed plate in his hand, got up and ran away with a smoke.

The dwarf who passed the word was stunned for a moment, slowly walked to the pile of plates, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said to himself: "Hehe, it's good to have this kid here, help me wash so many dishes." ”

As soon as the words fell, the piles of plates suddenly fell, and in the blink of an eye, the pile of washed plates was all poured on the dwarf's body, and when he saw the plate fragments all over the ground, the dwarf reached out to block his ears.

The next moment, a voice like a lion's roar came: "Bastard Blaino, you broke the plate again, are you looking for death?"

Then, a figure rushed into the backyard, looked at the fragments of plates all over the ground, and shouted angrily at the dwarf: "Brinor, I will deduct the money for these plates from your commission, and you will wait to wash the dishes at the old lady's place for the rest of your life." ”

After saying that, the cook turned her head to look at the courtyard gate and saw a group of people looking out, especially the little face of Lucius full of smiles.

The cook walked up to Lucius with a dark face and said, "Boy, is it ridiculous? You can send me the food to the third box on the second floor now, and now, immediately, immediately, go to ......."

In the face of the chef's lion roar, Lucius could only agree, took the huge tray handed by the minotaur behind him, and slowly walked towards the second floor of the restaurant with both hands and his head.
