Chapter 2316 Guardian

Kandy and Rebecca really picked a lot of mushrooms. When Joan arrived, Rebecca was instructing the maid to clean all kinds of mushrooms. Some of them were strangely shaped and colorful to suspicious varieties. Joan couldn’t recognize them, so she asked Has she cast a spell to test whether these mushrooms are poisonous.

The result was ridiculed by Rebecca.

"Our genius doctor asked a stupid question! All the mushrooms have been inspected by Conti himself, how could there be poisonous mushrooms mixed in?"

Joan thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the truth.

When it comes to the understanding of wild fungi, Kandy, a druid who grew up in the forest, is far more profound than a "nerd" like herself. Since she said that those colorful mushrooms are fine, there must be nothing wrong with eating them.

To take a step back, it doesn't matter if one or two poisonous mushrooms are mixed in. The spell "Mythological Hero Feast" possessed by "Holy Pot" Ariel Neil has the special effect of dispelling and preventing all toxins. Throw poisonous mushrooms into the pot and boil them, and you can still eat them with confidence after they are cooked.

Joan took out the "magic pot" and threw the cleaned fungi into the pot to cook.

The "Sacred Pot" has its own seasoning function, and it will soon emit an attractive aroma of mountain delicacies.

Rebecca brought a basket of freshly baked bread, and Candy brought a small wooden bucket filled with ice cubes and red wine, excitedly clearing the dining table by himself.

Qiao An lifted the lid of the pot, and the rich and tempting aroma came out, and he couldn't help swallowing.

The three each filled a large bowl of mushroom soup and chatted while eating.

Rebecca, the hostess, is always the liveliest chatterbox in the restaurant. While drinking the soup, there is also a literary expression of praise for the seasons and solar terms.

"Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the river is thawing. It is a good season for fishing and hunting. My dear friends, don't let this beautiful and short-lived spring be a disappointment!"

Miss Custis had a serious face, but she couldn't hide the shrewd look in her eyes, as if she was thinking of some "scheming idea".

Joan looked at her in bewilderment, then turned to look at Kandy, who was suppressing a smile, feeling more and more wrong.

"Rebecca, if you have something to say, just speak up, there's no need to go around in circles."

"Ahem, let me make a long story short! Joan, it has been almost two months since Kandy came to Leiden City. I took her to visit all the interesting places in and outside the city, and spent all day riding and hunting in the manor. It's also boring."

"That's true, so what are your plans?"

Joan asked bluntly.

"Kantie has been away from home for a long time, and it is inevitable that she misses her family and is reluctant to part with me as a good friend. She is very conflicted."

"Well, she can't bear you, so there's nothing wrong with me, right?" Joan chewed the mushrooms angrily.

"No!" Conti quickly defended, "Uh, of course I miss you too..." Before he finished speaking, his cheeks blushed involuntarily.

Rebecca looked at the shy best friend, and then glared at Joan: "You bad guy! Don't break up my friendship with Candy!"

Joan resisted the urge to complain, and spoke out her real thoughts angrily: "You just go around talking nonsense, to put it bluntly, you actually want to go to the Algonquin Valley with Kandy for vacation, right? "

"Uh~~ It's not impossible to say that. In short, Kandy kindly invites you, and the medical and nursing guild is also busy. I happen to be relatively free recently. I went to the Asa town deep in the jungle for vacation and experience it. The customs and customs of the local aborigines are also very good!"

Miss Custis, who has never been far away from Leighton City and her own manor since she was born, naturally associates with various exotic customs when talking about the Asa settlement in the deep forest of Yalf, and her eyes are full of longing.

Although in fact Powhatan Village is not as far away as she imagined, it is actually in the middle of the Alfheim Colony, and the straight-line distance from Leiden City is only two to three hundred miles away, which is not much farther than from Leiden City to Delin Town .

Seeing her face that had never seen the world, Joan was both funny and distressed.

Thinking about it carefully, Rebecca's life in the past eighteen years was really monotonous, like a canary in a cage, with little freedom to speak of.

It's not that Martha intentionally abused her sister, it's mainly because Rebecca inherited her father's "Different Hair Seal", like a time bomb, a slight loss of emotional control may cause big trouble.

Over the years, Martha has been carefully protecting her sister, not letting her stay away from her side, just because she is afraid of accidents happening to her.

Fortunately, this tragic situation has changed. On the one hand, thanks to the "Soothing Bracelet" made by Joan, and more importantly, Rebecca's own efforts, she basically controlled the manic and bloodthirsty nature of the "Different Saint Seal". "Martha also gradually relaxed her restraint in the accident of getting out of control and hurting people.

"Miss Martha and Mr. Vasa, do you agree to go to Powhatan Village for vacation?" Joan asked directly.

"Martha and my brother-in-law did not object to my traveling, but they put forward two conditions."

When Rebecca said this, she couldn't help but pouted, showing a small emotion of being wronged.

"What conditions?"

"They asked me to write a letter of guarantee, promising in the name of my lord, Dimos, that I will go home in at most one month."

"One month's vacation is not too short. It's enough for you to have fun. What's the other condition?" Joan continued to inquire.

"What's more, they asked you to go out with me, to be my temporary guardian, and to ask me to obey you as if I were my own brother. It's really maddening!"

Miss Custis was so furious that she put her hands on the table and jumped up.

"Joan! You are as old as I am, and they let you guard me as if I were an underage child. Is it reasonable?"

Joan unhurriedly swallowed a piece of bread soaked in mushroom soup, and told the truth to the aggrieved Rebecca.

"I think your sister and brother-in-law's arrangements are very reasonable. You have to obey me obediently in the future, or I won't take you on vacation."

"Wow! You...you actually pretend to be an elder. Aren't we good friends?"

Joan spread her hands and told her calmly: "You are obedient, we are friends, if you are not obedient, even if you don't treat me as a friend, I can only position myself as a strict guardian. Is this the truth? ?”

Rebecca blinked her big eyes, feeling a little dizzy, and quickly asked Kandy for help.

"I vaguely feel that this guy is talking nonsense, but I can't catch the truth in what he said. You can analyze it for me. Is he trying to quibble?"

"My intuition tells me that he's trying to quibble, but I can't figure out where the problem is yet." Conti shrugged helplessly.

"So, the two of you have overdeveloped senses, and you are nervous and suspicious at every turn." Joan's face was full of grievances.
