Chapter 104 103 When You Are in a Bad Mood, You Have to Eat Something Good
Chapter 104 103. Eat something good when you are in a bad mood
At dawn, Lu Yu and Aesop took Moru to the Elf King.
The Elf King dismissed his attendants and asked Moru alone.
Although Lu Yu and Aesop were waiting in the courtyard, they could roughly guess what happened inside.
Moru, who already knew that he was bound to die, decided not to hide anything after hearing what Lu Yu said before. Instead, he told everything he knew and bet the fate of his family on the mercy of the Elf King.
Time passed by, and everyone who had been busy all night received a hot breakfast from the waiter Grand, eating while waiting for the results.
Hearing that the murderer had been caught, the guards around the Elf King were all discussing in a whisper.
"Come here!"
As soon as the Elf King's shout rang out, several elf mages with extraordinary skills broke through the door, fearing that they would be half a second late.
However, the elf mage who entered the room found that the elf king was fine, but Moru had lost his breath.
"Moru suddenly got angry, snatched my sword, and committed suicide."
Lu Yu was not surprised at all by this result. Although the flaws in the Elf King's words were obvious, who dared to talk too much?
The Elf King expressed his gratitude to Lu Yu for his help and then closed the door to thank the guests. He said that it was because he was frightened and felt a little unwell.
Although the Elf King was unwell, it did not affect the Elf's return journey.
Because he was going to Thoresen with the Elf King's team, Lu Yu went to the Star Knights the night before leaving.
While waiting for Heather, Lu Yu met the boy who was hired by the cat-faced murderer to deliver a message with a bag of cooked food.
The boy first worked beside Xingchen's chef, and then rushed to help clean up.
After Heather came out, she found Lu Yu looking at the boy and said with a smile: "We plan to train him into a reserve for the stars."
"oh?"
"His family used to be noble, but he offended some people and was reduced to begging."
Lu Yu remembered Xingchen's rules for recruiting people: only ordinary people.
"Sir Lu Yu didn't come here today just to talk about magic and heart-to-hearts with me. Let's talk about it first. Our Xingchen's food is not as delicious as Feng Yu's. You will be disappointed."
Lu Yu covered his forehead: "In your heart, am I really that greedy?"
Not only Heather nodded, but in the chat room, Lulutis also said loudly "That's right."
"In my opinion, even if the world is about to be destroyed one day, Sir Lu Yu will leisurely set up a pot and cook leisurely." Heather said.
Lulutis complained: "You are so picky about what you eat that it would put the princes and nobles to shame."
It was too exaggerated. Lu Yu felt that his eating was not as outrageous as what these two people said.
"To get down to business, I came here just to say goodbye to you and Hester, and to ask how you plan to deal with the cat-faced murderer."
Heather sighed: "I'm struggling with this too."
Hand it over, it's not appropriate.
kill him…
Heather also didn't understand why the awkwardness and conflict that emerged deep inside her heart came from every time she had the thought of executing him.
Seeing Heather being so entangled, Lu Yu felt that the cat-faced murderer would most likely not be thrown out and used as a garbage basket for those doing black trade.
"Although I don't know if Thoresen can find the information to return to your hometown, I still wish you well in advance."
Heather shook hands with Lu Yu in a friendly manner and gave Lu Yu a few scrolls.
"Although I know that seventh-level magicians may look down on me, you are a summoner after all, and you are not as good as me, a person who specializes in wind magic. Two acceleration scrolls, one quick-fire wind blade magic, and one Wind Shield Barrier.”
Heather was also thoughtful, and the scrolls she provided were all to make up for the summoner's weaknesses.
"This is my return gift to you. You really helped us Xingchen a lot during your time in Grand."
"When you go to Thoreson, you should pay more attention to Ramona. I don't think the Elf King has any thoughts of dealing with her yet, and I don't know what the Elf King is thinking."
What do you think?
It's always hard to guess the king's thoughts, just like King Grand V.
Everyone knew that his filial sons were fighting openly and secretly to become the heir apparent, and the entire capital of the Grand Empire began to take sides because of them.
Everyone knows that Cornwall is a guy who can't support the wall with mud. Although he has won over many people, it is only quantity but not quality.
Cornwall even got involved in the Imperial Knights, an institution managed by the emperor himself. Lu Yu didn't believe that a person who was firmly on the throne could not notice these little actions of his son.
Lu Yu couldn't tell whether it was because he was old and dim, or because he still had expectations for his son.
Lu Yu also sent his blessings to Heather.
"I hope your Majesty is not old and dim, and I hope Cornwall is not the one who takes the stage in the end, otherwise I think you stars are quite miserable."
A person who feels from the bottom of his heart that the people at the bottom are not worthy of breathing the same blue sky as the nobles. If he becomes the emperor, it will definitely be a disaster for the people of this land.
The elves of Thoresan set off from their base and were about to return to their own country.
This meeting, which lasted nearly half a month, re-laid the foundation for cooperation between the two countries and also allowed the two sides to understand each other again.
On the occasion of parting, many people of the Grand Empire spontaneously picked twigs from trees and threw them to the elves on the only way for the Thoresan elves to return.
If the guards were not afraid of the elves being killed again, the two sides might have been able to face each other and further complete the gift exchange ceremony that symbolizes peace.
Lu Yu, sitting in the carriage, looked at this scene and remembered the scene he saw at the palace dinner that day.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the elves after picking up the tender branches, and then looking at the excited Gran people not far away, Lu Yu felt that this scene was enough to comfort those souls who could no longer see the arrival of peace.
"Elf King, you can see it too, as a king, don't you have any responsibility?"
Because the Elf King was unwell, he refused anyone to ride with him, even Ramona was no exception.
Ramona sat in the luxurious carriage, looking at the curtain in front of her, and the emotions in her eyes kept changing.
"He knows?"
"No, he probably hasn't. Moru has received a lot of favors from me. For the sake of his family, he won't betray me..."
"He committed suicide by snatching his sword... Wasn't Moru's magic restrained at that time? Or did he break free?"
"That means he really didn't notice it, right?"
Ramona's hand holding the wine glass was sweating, and the self-tug-and-pull in her mind made her very irritated.
Since Moru's death, the Elf King has been ill. He said to the outside world that he was frightened, and even Ramona couldn't visit him.
Without contact with the king, she couldn't confirm the king's thoughts, which made her uneasy.
All the problems were caused by that inexplicable seventh-level magician. If it weren't for his appearance, Moru would have killed everyone and retreated even if he was discovered by Aesop.
But Ramona could do nothing except hate Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's strength was too strong. Now he had to lead the team to the Silent Mountains to solve the problem that had troubled Soresen for many years. Even if she wanted to deal with Lu Yu, she was powerless.
It feels bad to be out of control. Ramona, who has no sense of security, can only drink to suppress her inner anxiety.
With the escort of the Knights, the road is unobstructed, and the monsters pulling the carts are physically strong. In just four days, the envoy team arrived at the border between the Gran Empire and Soresen.
Lu Yu carefully observed the outer wall of the border town.
There were no traces of bows and arrows, no cracks caused by magic bombing, and the winding lines on it were densely intertwined, as if thousands of arthropods had crawled on it.
The elves' living forest once climbed up this high wall. Lu Yu could even imagine the scene of those thick vines growing rapidly and corroding the surroundings like a fungus blanket.
Lu Yu's admiration was met with Lulutis's boasting.
"The fact that it can be eroded by vegetation like this only shows that the defenders of the Gran Empire will not set fire. If I come here, no matter how many vines there are, they are just fuel."
Lulutis, the master of arson, felt sorry for the quality of the defenders of the Gran Empire.
The whole caravan had not had much rest during the journey, so the envoys chose to rest here for a while, and then work harder tomorrow to enter Soresen in one breath.
Lu Yu, who was really greedy, asked Sigrid to go to the city to buy a sheep and told her specifically.
"All the internal organs must be brought back, and they are not allowed to be thrown away."
"Also, ask the stall owner to wash the intestines several times, I am afraid that the stuffing will be eaten... What, if you don't want to wash it, then change to another store, whoever is enthusiastic will buy it."
After becoming a magician, Lulutis was out of touch with the lives of ordinary people. She always said that she was the daughter of an ordinary person, but some of her words and deeds were not ordinary at all. If she hadn't met Lu Yu teasing her all day, she would not have realized it at all.
When she first met Lu Yu, Lulutis was determined not to accept ingredients such as cow heads and sheep heads and internal organs. When she was asked to carry the cow head, she pretended to forget to move it, hoping to dispel Lu Yu's idea of eating cow heads.
After Lu Yu's tireless correction, Lulutis successfully aligned with ordinary people in terms of eating.
Not eating offal is a bad habit of magicians, nobles and other upper-class people. If it is really common people who don't even have a stutter, what offal is there? Even if it is moldy food, they can pounce on it with a pair of green eyes and bite it.
Look, when Lulutis heard that Lu Yu wanted to buy a sheep, her first reaction was: "Do you want to eat roasted lamb?"
When Lu Yu heard that he wanted offal, Lulutis asked again: "Is the lamb intestine delicious?"
This taste is right.
Don't resist him subconsciously just because the ingredients look a little strange, otherwise you will miss a lot of delicious food.
Sigrid, who was raised by elves, got along well with the elves. Because she was familiar with some of the elves' habits, she could always get some delicious food from Soresen.
Several elves enthusiastically invited Sigrid to eat together, and said that this was the chef who cooked for the Elf King himself.
Sigrid refused without thinking. Her master had not cooked for a while. This time she bought a sheep. Her intuition told her that she could eat better with her two masters.
At mealtime, Aesop, feeling depressed, sat on the grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, staring blankly at the gradually darkening sky.
Several sisters were playing around and chattering. Seeing that Aesop had been like this for several days, they all ran over, pushed him to sit up, and asked him what was on his mind.
Because he had lost his sister, Aesop was very gentle to each of his sisters. Seeing that they were all concerned about him, he quickly put on a smiling face and lied that he didn't like sitting in the carriage, so he was a little uncomfortable.
As he spoke, Aesop's stomach started to growl.
Knowing that his brother had been hanging out with Lu Yu a lot recently, someone clapped his hands and reminded him, "Brother, I saw Sir Lu Yu cooking in person."
"I saw it too, I saw it too. Not only that, his servants actually sat aside waiting for food and didn't help. This is too strange."
"Is there such a spoiled servant?"
Aesop touched his sister's head lovingly and explained to them, "Don't talk nonsense, this is not spoiled, this is his habit."
"Brother, take us to see it. Before you were away, we didn't dare to get close to him. The two clouds of fog in his house looked scary."
Pushed by a group of sisters, Aesop led them to the vicinity of Lu Yu's camp helplessly.
The two iron pots on the campfire were bubbling, and the lids were clacking.
Lu Yu skillfully cut the stewed mutton offal with Sigrid's dagger for self-defense, added some pepper, and put a little original soup, and a bowl of simple mutton offal soup was ready.
It's a pity that there's no chili oil or coriander here, otherwise the taste should be killer.
It's not the first time that Aesop is curious about Lu Yu's summons eating.
The four tentacles of the black fog hold the bowl, and one tentacle uses the soup spoon, so skillfully that people wonder if this guy is a summon.
Aesop saw Lulutis drinking mutton soup, and naturally asked the fog monster.
"Don't you want to eat?"
This is a typical case of talking about something else.
The fog monster turned into a big bowl and swayed left and right beside Lu Yu, and then turned into a tiger in a second, roaring loudly at Aesop.
"Sorry... my fault." Aesop, who reacted quickly, apologized repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, just fill your stomach, are you going to eat the roasted lamb later?" Lu Yu reminded Lulutis while processing the mutton.
"Can you drink another half bowl?" Lulutis handed the bowl to Lu Yu with a guilty conscience.
"No, hurry up and take over Sigrid's shift. I'm not sure about her grilling lamb."
"Oh, so you're sure about me grilling lamb?" Lulutis was very proud, thinking that Lu Yu trusted her grilling skills.
Lu Yu nodded: "You have so many tentacles, it's more convenient to turn the lamb skewers and lamb chops, and you can take better care of the fire."
Aesop saw that Lu Yu was busy, and it was not easy to interrupt. On the contrary, his sisters were fresh in everything and kept circling around Lu Yu.
"Give me a bowl too."
Seeing that his sister didn't even use honorifics and sounded like she was going to command Lu Yu to do something, Aesop quickly grabbed her.
"Ina!"
Little Ina also realized that her tone was a little wrong, and looked up at Lu Yu worriedly.
Who knew that Lu Yu was not angry at all, but filled her bowl with a bowl.
Seeing Ina holding a small bowl and sitting aside, Lu Yu smiled and said, "I won't eat your sister, why are you so nervous?"
Thinking of how Lu Yu was with him before, Aesop sighed deeply and confided.
"I'm very upset..."
Lu Yu didn't think about it and filled a bowl for Aesop.
"Eat it. When you're in a bad mood, you should eat something good. This will make you feel better."
