At this time of dusk, probably all the men in the world who have finished their work will open their doors and return home like this.
Chapter No.60 Weak
Aisha sat on the sofa in the reception room, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Nervous, tense, tense.This is obviously Lily's home, why would I be nervous?I have basically been to all the main places in Otto City, how could Lily's Ash Workshop make me nervous.
Obviously have been here countless times before.
The aroma of coffee powder filled the room. Lily was brewing coffee, added several pieces of sugar, and drank it all in one gulp.
She just woke up.
Lily always wakes up at night, sleeps during the day, and often drinks high-sugar, high-strength coffee to refresh herself, so she has thick dark circles on her face.
As for why she got up to prepare breakfast that day, it was because Lily had the reserve of being the owner of the workshop.
Guests must be given the best hospitality.
But this reserve was immediately broken by Kerr.
"I also know a little about cooking, so let me come in from now on. I need to finish Chloe's book, and I need to ask you to help me forge weapons, and I'm still here for free, I don't do any work I can't feel at ease."
So the task of cooking was handed over to Kerr, and Lily just got up at dusk and waited for the meal.
By the way, Yuka is also like this.
During the few days she was at Lily's house, she was mostly doing nothing, eating and sleeping.But Kerr also dotes on her very much, and will not comment on Yuka's way of life at all.
Yuka came down from upstairs with a dazed expression on her face, a pair of small hands subconsciously groped her legs, as if she had lost some happiness.
Lily spoke to Aisha with dark circles under her eyes. From the tone of her speech, Lily knew Aisha.
"Aisha, failed to catch a man again? You can't get a man, seriously. Just give up."
"Get out, I'm not the same as a woman like you who was abandoned by elves."
"Ah? Haven't you been abandoned by humans? My life is pretty good now, so it doesn't matter if I throw it away or not."
"Lily, in fact, many humans don't want to see you. If you don't have forging skills, who would care about you based on your personality?"
"Well, look."
Lily raised her chin in the direction of Yuka and Kerr respectively, and the existence of the two humans repelled Aisha's argument that Lily was ignored.
"I've known you for a long time and I will definitely leave you, just like those people before."
Elsa scoffs.
"That's a little better than you, who in this city wants to deal with you."
After Lily finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen, not giving Aisha a chance to retort, because she could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen.
Aisha and Lily confront each other, unable to see what kind of relationship exists between these two people.The dialogue between the two can only be described as sinister, and it seems that they both know each other to a certain extent, but their malice towards each other cannot be underestimated.
No matter what these two people think, Yu Jia has already sat down at the big dinner table in a very sensible way.This table is a relatively large rectangle, enough for at least ten people to eat here.The entire table is made by craftsman Lily. In order to prevent the corners of the table from bumping, she also specially chamfered the corners of the table to make them smooth.
Kerr and Lily worked together to bring the food to the table. Tonight's main course was goulash in red wine, with some baguettes and croissants.
Lily bought a lot of bread in the city, and the beef was specially made by Kerr according to his own taste.
First chop the onion and garlic, stir-fry with oil until it is half burnt, and then put the pork fat cut into small pieces into the pan to get out the oil.Cook until a thick, shiny oil stain is visible in the pan.At this time, add celery and diced mushrooms and stir-fry until the unique aroma of mushrooms and celery can be smelled.
The beef is treated separately and fried with fresh garlic and onions until half-cooked.
At this time, pour all the above-mentioned prepared materials into a large pot, add water, red wine, and potato cubes and cook slowly. During the cooking process, you need to pay attention to slight stirring to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
The fragrant red wine beef stew is done.
Scooping the meat, potatoes and soup out of the cauldron, eating the meat, and siphoning off the bowl with plain white bread is the perfect way to savor the dish.
Food is the best seasoning to create a harmonious atmosphere. Aisha and Lily, who were still smelling of gunpowder just now, reconciled and sat at the table in an instant.
"Keer, you can live here as long as you want, as I said. Even after you leave, you can treat this place as your own home. Of course, it would be even better to cook a meal when you go home."
This is Lily's evaluation after eating the meal made by Kerr.
This is "evaluation".
The time before dinner is always quiet, and everyone's stomachs are starving. Prioritizing food is the right choice for a creature.The aroma of fresh and tender beef mixed with onion and garlic diffuses in everyone's mouth and nose, which is the supreme enjoyment of ordinary people.
For an ordinary family, there is nothing more important than eating and sleeping.
Kerr didn't start the conversation until everyone had stuffed their bellies.
"Aisha, what were you doing there at that time, and what about those giants?"
Hearing Kerr's question, it was Lily who answered first.
"Giant? Ah, it's this time. It's normal for giants to run around."
"Is this normal... Many people died in the slums..."
It's not that Kerr doesn't feel sympathy for the death of ordinary people, but has become numb.When he was a brave man, Kerr had already seen the death of countless people.
The people who were eaten by the giants just died a little worse than the soldiers, and there was no other difference in essence.
Moreover, the current self is not alone.If it was before meeting Chloe, Kerr might kill a few giants to contribute a little sympathy, but now he lives in Lily's house and doesn't want to cause too much trouble.
"Lily, don't make noise, eat your meal, I'll tell him."
"Yes—yes, do as you like, cut."
Lily glared at Aisha and buried her head in her meal.Her red hair was burning like a flame.Although the red hair is dyed.
"Let me tell you, Kerr."
Aisha holds the silver spoon between her index finger and thumb and shakes it gently. She is going to act like a teacher holding a pointer.
"During this time, there will be cannibalism in the slums of Otto City. This is the norm, and it has been like this for many years. As everyone knows, there are no wild animals in the forest, and the giants have long since The wild animals around here are all eaten up, so what should the giants live on? They can only rely on human support."
"But cannibalism is really unacceptable. Is there not enough giants to eat in such a big city?"
"It's almost clean now. Kerr, you should know that Otto City is one of the material transfer stations of the Magic Lane King's Capital. The food and daily necessities transported from the chaotic land to the King's Capital need to be transferred through Otto City. One year Among them, the seasons that require tribute are only spring and autumn, and now it is early autumn, and the new batch of food has not yet arrived, so a temporary shortage of food is normal."
The rich meals provided by the wilderness pavilion flashed in Kerr's mind.
"There's no shortage of food, right? It's in the center of the city."
"This is a transfer station for supplies. If there is a lack of food in the city center, many people will starve to death. But even if there is enough food in the city center, what does it have to do with the people in the slums?"
"Ah... I understand this."
Even if the nobles make great military exploits and get promoted, what does it have to do with me, an ordinary brave man?
"The supply of food is basically given priority to the giants. But because the giants' food intake is too large to be fully supplied, they can only be allowed to eat people before the next tribute. People in the slums are the least status, the most A group of people without property, their silent death is a contribution to this city."
Aisha's shoulders trembled and she smiled, just like a little devil who was laughing at others. Coupled with her burnt yellow hair, she only felt the negative flame burning on her head.
"...No matter where it is, it's the same. One group of people support another group of people. The giants obviously have their own power, but they need humans to support them. The nobles are unwilling to contribute, but they hope that the brave will help them solve everything."
Kerr lowered his eyes.Compassion is cheap and easily paid, even if there is nothing you can do for those people.
"Keer, come and participate in the recruitment mission in the trade union, please help me."
"what?"
"The recruitment mission was issued by the city lord Andron in the union. In this autumn, Andron will gather with the mercenaries and adventurers gathered by the union to kill all the giants and free everyone in the city."
Elsa smiles darkly.Why she was laughing, why she looked a little abnormal, Kerr still didn't know.
No.60 A strong person & a gentle person
"Well—I want to make some money—"
Kerr looked at Yuka, then shifted his gaze to Lily.
Lily frowned, and the elf's characteristic pointed ears were slightly erected.
"Why, did I hinder you from making money?"
"It's fine for me to kill giants... But it will bring trouble to Lily. And I don't want to live in another place for the time being..."
As the ruling class of this city, the giants are not cost-effective to be hostile to them casually.If Kerr was still alone, as long as he was given enough money, he would do it like crazy.
But now, he has Yuka by his side, and he also knows Lily, and his old friend is still in this city.
"You don't have to worry about me. If Yujia is alone, I can keep it. But I don't recommend you to mess around with this woman and the city lord."
"Well... that's the case, I'm sorry Aisha. And my adventurer level is also very low, so I can't participate in that quest. That quest requires an adventurer of A-level or higher to participate. I am still F-level now. "
Kerr didn't really want to get involved in this kind of thing, Lily gave him the steps, and it was just right for him to follow the trend.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Despicable elves! Is it so comfortable to flatter humans and giants!"
Aisha severely condemns Lily's behavior of persuading Kerr.
"I rely on real materials. Humans in Otto City respect my craftsmanship. But what about you? The witch of the giant? Hehehe."
Lily is completely ruthless, and her ability to mock wind is fully utilized, that is two different attitudes from treating Kerr.
"Hey! Don't call me 'Miko'!"
Elsa is furious.
Kerr, who was sitting by the side, was in a dilemma. He really wanted to persuade the fight, but he didn't know how to persuade him.Logically speaking, if Lily is renting to Kerr, he should be on the side of the landlord.But Aisha had met Kerr several times before, and Aisha took Kerr to find Lily, so Kerr didn't know how to persuade her.
Although there is still a way to neutralize the fight, Kerr only feels that this will add fuel to the fire.
"You're scheduled to lick the giant's feet anyway, right? Wouldn't it be a good thing to lick the giant's feet early?"
"Huh, in a city ruled by giants, you have to rely on humans to survive. I don't know what your noble elf companions will think. They must feel ashamed, right? There is such a strange person like you. Noble magic can't do it. Learn, must do this kind of lowly craftsman work!"
"To shut up!"
"Don't think that being an elf is nobler than a human!"
The two raised their hands at the same time and slapped each other's faces.The speed of the two women was so fast that even Kerr might not be able to stop them in an instant.
"The wind god is calling."
No one noticed, Yuka casually chanted a spell, and a slight breeze appeared out of thin air.The breeze immediately turned into a strong wind in the room, restraining the two women who were about to fight.Both of them raised their right hands high, but they couldn't fight to the death.The wind turned into chains, blowing up their clothes and controlling their movements.
"No quarreling during meals."
Yuka took a deep breath, her words had the power to obey.Perhaps it is Yuka, who is mentally younger, who can stop the two furious people, and only Yuka can stop them regardless of their personal past.
"That's it, two, eat well. I will be very sad if you can't savor my cooking carefully."
