Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

The horse's hooves stepped on the muddy ground, and the dust flew up. Before it could completely land, the two figures galloped away.

Holly clamped the horse's belly, tightened the reins, and his green eyes were filled with the golden light of dawn.A few wisps of cold air were still mixed in the breeze, passing over his cheeks.

Beside him was the knight sent by Donovan to meet him, leading the way one step ahead.

Seemingly expressionless, many messy thoughts flooded into his mind, and Holly sorted out his thoughts like unraveling a ball of wool.

Early this morning, it was just early morning, when there was no light to be seen, the knight knocked on the door of the house, pulling him straight out of his sleep.

The agreed time to meet was indeed in the morning, and I didn't expect it to be this early.After washing up quickly, leaving a note, I hurried out.

There was no time to eat breakfast, so he had to bring rice in a bamboo tube that was steamed last night, and tied it to his waist together with the long sword.

Thin clouds hang in the air like torn cotton wadding, and the sky in the distance is dark orange, forming a gradient where it intersects with the gray-blue overhead, as if the paints are dyeing each other.

The sunrise landscape is so beautiful that it is a painting created by nature, suitable for appreciation with people.

— Like riding a horse and riding or something.

Thinking of this, Holly couldn't help shivering.

What the hell...Compared to the current situation, he would rather sit at the back, with the beauty in his arms, and travel with his sweetheart.

Could it be that the body of adolescence also affects the brain?He hurriedly pulled back the thoughts that had run loose, shook off all the miscellaneous thoughts, and adjusted his state.

Silently go through the process in the bottom of my heart, thinking about the questions that may be answered today.

Passing through villages and woods, there were almost no rests on the way.

Follow the drawbridge through the ditch and finally enter the manor castle.As soon as one foot stepped on the ground, a servant stepped forward and led the horse away.

His viscera felt a little uncomfortable, and Holly began to rejoice that he hadn't eaten breakfast, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand steadily now, and he should have vomited faintly.

The butler came to greet him, obviously surprised that Holly arrived at the manor so soon.He put on a polite and gentle smile, first asked Holly to hand over the weapon and keep it for him temporarily, and then let the latter follow behind.

Only then did Hawley have the time to observe the castle.

Layers of high walls surround this huge fortress, with towers on the outer walls.The wall is made of stone, so nothing unique can be found from the appearance alone.

On the contrary, the inner fort—the area used for daily life is neat and clean, with some green plants clinging to the periphery, adding a touch of vitality to the cold stone wall.

The layout is orderly, people perform their duties, and the atmosphere is quiet and harmonious.

The butler looked at Holly calmly.

Since a few days ago, different faces have entered the manor one after another.Although he didn't know why the lord invited them—of course, he was not qualified to know what important matters the lord had to discuss with these people.

But he never saw the same face at the door again.

The young man on the right back attracted his attention not only because of his strange appearance, but also because even richly dressed people were not as casual as him before.

The last adjective made the housekeeper think for a long time before finding the right one.

The young man looked at it openly, showing no sincerity or fear, let alone the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Probably just newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they are more courageous.In any case, the lord should like this guest.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Hawley immediately changed his mind that "this is an ordinary castle".

The walls inside the hall are covered with shields, and the indoor light is actually sufficient, but the outer frame of each shield is inlaid with gold, shining like a wall lamp.

The corners of the long wooden table are covered with silver, and the carpet underneath is red with gold patterns. The pattern is a picture of a roaring dragon with wings spread, and the hand-stitching is surprisingly lifelike.

Normally, the hall is used for deliberation.For a moment, Holly thought he was in the castle of the human king.

However, what left him dumbfounded was yet to come.

While leading the way, the butler explained that he was going to take him to a small meeting hall.

The corridors are decorated with murals at intervals.Especially colorful or rare pigments, in this world and era, if you don't want to spend a lot of money and effort, you will never get it.

The reliefs on the top of the mural stretched endlessly. Hawley had only seen this scene when he went to the Cathedral of Light in his previous life.

This is not walking the castle, it is clearly visiting the treasury.

Some great nobles, especially as lords, often like to display their wealth and power in the most obvious places, and the hall is one of them.

The dragons in the different worlds have the same miser attributes.Knowing this fact, combined with the interior decoration of the castle, Hawley believes that Lord Donovan, who is about to meet, just brought the tip of the iceberg to the table.

It's no wonder other races dare not easily provoke the Dragon Clan—their strength and financial resources are merged, and they don't have any rich accumulation of wealth.

Fortunately, the Dragon Clan lives far away and has a neutral stance. Except for business contacts, they look down on other sites.As long as they are more warlike, the world situation will be turbulent, and they will be stirred up to a bloodbath.

While thinking, the two soon came to a high door.

The heavy wooden door opened slowly, revealing a long table.The line of sight then extended, and at the end of the front, there were two people sitting on the table, talking to each other.

Hearing the movement here, they all turned their heads, and their eyes fell on Holly like a torch.

Holly was only stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his eyes and bowed his head, and walked into the "small" meeting room alone, standing a few meters away.

The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

He clearly felt that two sets of eyes were examining him back and forth, exerting pressure on him invisibly.

After an unknown amount of time, Holly heard a voice breaking the almost stagnant atmosphere: "Okay, don't stand there, come and sit first."

——but his eyes still burned on the top of his head.

Before acting rashly, Holly didn't even blink his eyes a few times, and stood there like a statue.

Finally, he waited for the instructions he wanted.

"Come here, sit wherever you want." The voice was much deeper and magnetic than that of the man before, like the sound of bells and drums, with a unique texture.

Unless you have a good relationship, if you go to someone's home as a guest, and the host tells you to sit wherever you want, you can't really leave the chair and choose to sit on the floor, or ride on someone's head.

Holly was not lacking in rebellious spirit, but he wanted to survive, so he didn't dare to overstep. He just skipped the next seat, and took a seat not far away from two rows of empty seats.

"Your name is Holly, isn't it?" It was the one who spoke first.

"Yes, my lord." Holly replied respectfully.

"No surname?" The other party continued to ask with great interest.

"Yes, there is no surname. I woke up alone in the wilderness seven years ago, with no memory of the past. Later, while asking about myself along the way, I walked to the city of King Svia on foot. To enter the city, I need to register my name, so I This name was taken temporarily."

You may not believe it, but I actually have a surname, and it's really "Huo".Holly cursed inwardly.

Ignoring the unspeakable real situation, this was almost exactly the case when he first traveled to another world.

There is no need to hide anything from the lord. After all, it is a powerful dragon, and it is easy to investigate his background.

The man wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the host.

Donovan ordered, "Look up."

Lift it when you say it, without ambiguity.But when their eyes met, Hawley was a little dazed again.

I heard that Lord Donovan is 68 years old. I thought it was just his voice sounding young, but he actually looked younger.

——The other party's silver-gray mid-length hair was tied high behind his head, and his golden pupils looked straight at him.Thin lips and tough facial lines make people feel that this person is fierce and difficult to get along with.The temperament is dignified and noble, and the whole body exudes an aura of indifference.

No, the magical world really has magic that can lead to immortality... Or is it true that the rumors are true, the dragon clan is full of treasures, comparable to Tang monk meat, whoever eats it will prolong life and live forever?

If it was the first possibility, he had to think of a way and find an opportunity to ask how to learn that kind of magic.Go home and give a big gift to his old man to make Master happy.

Keke, run away.

Holly came back to his senses, and saw that the seat opposite him was already smiling at him.

"Boy, you are really brave. It's the first time I've seen a human dare to stare at the lord in a daze."

Donovan didn't express any opinion on the talent's teasing, nor was he dissatisfied or vented his anger on Holly. Instead, he introduced: "This is my personal guard."

"My name is Pavel." Pavel waved and added to himself.

What?Holly's eyes widened slightly.

The person on the opposite side who is less prominent than him is actually Donovan's personal guard?

However, he noticed that Lord Donovan and Pavel's personal guards both had the same feature - golden animal pupils.

These eyes seemed familiar. Holly tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that a little girl he had rescued on the voyage not long ago had the same eyes.

But he didn't connect the girl with the person in front of him for the time being: because the golden beast pupils are not uncommon, the orcs caught a lot of them.

Obviously, Donovan didn't want to waste any more time, he said bluntly: "After providing the information, I will give you 3 minutes to repent."

"After 3 minutes, you must take the Parrott oath on the spot, swearing that the information you said is accurate from your perspective. After that, you can leave here."

"Yes, my lord. When I was chatting with my friend, I heard him tell about his experience on Wuwei Island. During the narration, he mentioned that there was a girl begging for food at the port, whose features were very similar to Miss.

"I asked again and again, and that friend happened to have a few words with the girl. The girl once said that she was hunted down from the Lost Island, the ship on board had an accident, and then fled here all the way. All the information can be shared with Miss The situation is correct.

"I didn't dare to say anything. I rushed from Svia to the Lost Island half a month ago, except for my own reasons, just to tell you about it."

After all, Holly took a deep breath.To be honest, it is useless to regret now.

The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, and Pavel said anxiously, "Isn't Wuwei Island not far from us?"

At this moment, a follower knocked on the door, asking Pavel to leave the house temporarily, and someone from the Knights asked him to report the situation.

After Hawley made the Parrott vow, Pavel came back just at this time.He looked at Holly with complicated eyes, and whispered close to Donovan.

Immediately, Donovan looked at Holly with a touch of elusive emotion.

Holly looked back at the two of them in confusion, only to hear Pavelek cough and ask, "Is there another purpose for you to come to Lost Island, is it because you have any troubles?"

Seeing Donovan lift his chin lightly, motioning for him to answer, Hawley stopped hiding and revealed his real purpose for today——

"You are right, my lord. My family and friends and I are indeed encountering some very difficult problems at present, which are serious enough to endanger our lives. The reason for providing information to the lord today is because the situation of the young lady is not optimistic; It is to seek the asylum of the lord."

"Everything has not yet been settled." Donovan put one arm on the armrest of the chair, and the other hand tapped the table slowly and rhythmically, "I can't guarantee what happened to you, and the risks behind it, I just Can promise to let you stay on the island."

He answered as if he didn't answer, and besides, he's an asshole, so what kind of big risk can he pose to the dragon clan and the entire Lost Island.

As a lord, perhaps you really have to be unreasonable.Although Hawley was somewhat resentful, he generally understood Donovan's "concern."

——To put it bluntly, the value is not reflected enough.

It can't be smooth sailing, but he still has a plan.The progress bar has reached 90.00%, there is no reason not to push harder.

"I sincerely seek your help because after only a few days, I already love this island very much-it is like a flourishing sapling, unstoppable, and I can feel very clearly that this is the relationship with Swi It’s something completely different: it speaks of endless possibilities.”

First, he blew a rainbow fart wildly, and after a pause, Holly continued: "So, I also brought an idea today, I believe you will be very interested in it. If it is born smoothly, this thing will definitely be able to let the lost The towering tree of the future, the island, accelerates its growth process."

Donovan's slender knuckles, but particularly thick-knuckle hand froze slightly, reducing the frequency of tapping on the table.Seeing a play, Holly took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"To be precise, it should be two ideas..." Hawley told the truth, and told the utility of the things together, and finally set out additional conditions, "... for the above two practices, I need the main assistance of the dwarves .”

Listening to Holly's eloquence, Donovan's usual frosty face could not help but crack open, and his emotions were clearly revealed several times: Pavel had already been shocked from ear to ear, with an unbelievable look on his face.

The conversation lasted until noon, and finally, they concluded this deal negotiation.

Outside the manor, the lord was willing to borrow the black-haired boy's horse to go home, and sent a few more people to escort him. The steward's attitude towards the boy became more respectful.

It's true that people can't be judged by appearances. Even if the lord didn't send him off in person, even he can tell that the lord is very caring.

On the other side of the road, Huo Li finally rushed home, relying on rice in bamboo tubes during the day, otherwise he would have to starve and collapse on the way.

He wolfed down the bread with his teeth, filling his stomach for the time being.Wilmer kept serving him tea and water to help him breathe, lest he would choke.

Seeing the apprentice recovering, Bobby stood by the table, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed nervously.

He asked cautiously, "how...how is it?"

Gradually stopping what he was doing, Holly chewed the bread in his mouth without speaking.

Bobby's heart trembled, he stood up abruptly, looked out the window, and prepared to send the two children to pack their luggage.

But when he turned his head again, what he caught a glimpse of was Holly swallowing his food and smiling brilliantly.

"Basically won!"

The master made him laugh and curse at the same time, picked up the broom and made a gesture to punish him severely.Little Skull also laughed out loud rarely, covering for him who was running all over the room.

The stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and the guillotine that had been pressing on their heads for the past few days was gone.

In the evening, when Alena heard the news, she was relieved, her pale skin flushed with excitement.

Even if it is only an initial victory, everyone thinks that they can have a good dream tonight.

Except Holly.

The chirping of cicadas outside the window gradually started, and white noise could not help sleep.Because when he thought of what happened during the day, his teeth itch with hatred.

As expected of a miser, a dragon who fell into the eyes of money, Donovan is too talented to be a lord, he should be a businessman... Maybe he really did business in the past.

The promise Donovan made at noon was the last move he had secretly thought about a few days ago—to get out the cement, and then get the concrete.

As long as he has the assistance of the dwarves who are full of technological talents, he may not be unable to complete it.

However, before that, he had to find a way to get the kiln out.

Hawley originally proposed to use one month's time to try his best to achieve the goal.As a result, Donovan compressed the time to 20 days.

Such a short time means that in the next 20 days, he must try his best to make cement with the dwarves.

Worried and annoyed, he did not allow his 14-year-old body to worry about hair loss so early.

Forcing himself to clear his head, accompanied by the sound of cicadas and Wilmer's gentle breathing, Holly gradually relaxed his nerves and fell asleep.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The 68-year-old beautiful uncle is here! (?

The biggest new finger of the protagonist, one is his cooking skills, and the other is that after so many years, he can still remember the memory before time travel. In a brief summary, his memory is amazing.

I thought that the golden finger was wide enough, and Holly also had the passive buff aura of the protagonist.
