Chapter 2708 Leading the Way

I compiled a series of related events related to my encounter with the golden bees into a stand-up comedy, and told them to the orc queen, hoping that she would feel better.

Facts have proved that she was indeed in a better mood and even burst into laughter. However, because she had just cried, there was a lot of body fluid in her nostrils. If she was not careful, a transparent vacuole as big as the fingernail of a thumb appeared and then I was kicked out of the inner palace by the embarrassed Cagalli.

Until the door closed, I was still thinking about the funny sight of a snot bubble hanging on the dignified and graceful face of the Orc Queen.

But after something like this happened, I probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the inner palace for supper.

While thinking wildly, I walked towards the gate of the palace. When I passed the gate of the front hall, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, sitting on the first chair under the throne. The man was thin, slightly stooped, and slightly old. .It is the old Duke.

"Hey, old Duke, you didn't go to eat?"

From a distance, I said hello to him.

The old Duke raised his head and saw that it was me. He put his hands on his knees and slowly stood up from the throne of the Regent: "Um-huh, are you going to eat?"

He looked the old Duke up and down, smiled, and said, "Yes, do you always want to go with us?"

"No, I'll eat in the palace." Then he looked at me again and asked, "The palace is preparing lunch, why do you still want to eat outside?"

"Ah, it's just my mood," I said, "Today I am in the mood to go out and eat delicious food."

The old Duke obviously didn't believe what I said. He stared at me for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's stay and eat together. Although there is some distance between you and me, I won't tamper with the food."

"You have misunderstood," I quickly explained, "I just suddenly wanted to eat out, and I didn't have any other ideas."

However, the old Duke still didn't believe it. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and waved his hand again.

I had no choice but to spread my hands, bow to him, turn around and leave.

After leaving the palace, I glanced at the young guard who had been making trouble for me with the old Duke. When the guard saw me looking at him, he immediately lowered his head. His free left hand kept grabbing the corner of his clothes, looking nervous.

Hehehe chuckled, and I turned around and left.

The scenery of the capital city is still the same, but it lacks a bit of familiarity.

The once prosperous New Heroic Guild has now been split into two restaurants and a hotel.

After stopping and looking at it for a while, I found that the restaurant's business was pretty good. As for the hotel, I couldn't tell what was going on. I just saw the proprietress leaning against the cashier, eating melon seeds and reading a newspaper. All in all, she was quite relaxed.

Walking a hundred meters straight ahead, you will find the former Multinational Hotel.

Nowadays, there are no more multinational hotels, but there is a cold drink restaurant. Perhaps it is the time when the climate is slightly cold. The restaurant is deserted, with only a few guests eating hot meals and drinking cold drinks with ice. Feel the shock of cold and heat.

After walking another two or three hundred meters, I turned to look to the right, my heart trembled, and I finally found a familiar scene.

I saw a three-story teahouse built of painted red oak wood with a faint antique flavor, which was open for business.

I took a look inside, hey, don't tell me, business is pretty good.

Finding something familiar, I stepped in and shouted: "A pot of tea, a plate of melon seeds, and two pieces of cake."

"Come on~~~!"

The waiter's voice was loud and clear, and it didn't take him long to prepare everything.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, I stopped him again: "Wait a minute."

The waiter bowed and asked, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"

"Call your boss out."

When the waiter heard this, he was startled, then smiled and said: "Unfortunately, our boss is not here for this guest."

"Then just ask the boss lady to come out."

When the waiter heard this, he frowned.

Now he calls me the boss, and now he calls me the boss lady. It’s obvious that he’s looking for trouble, isn’t he?

Although he was unhappy, he was a professional waiter. He suppressed his anger and continued to smile: "What a coincidence, our guest, our landlady, is not here either."

"Hey, what a coincidence, the two bosses are not here." Touching my chin, I chuckled: "Isn't it because he owed money and ran away?"

When the waiter heard this, his expression turned ugly. He forced out an ugly smile and said, "Sir, I don't know anything about what you are talking about. How about you stay here for a few days and wait?" Our boss and his wife are back, are you going to ask them in person?"

"Hmph, I think he just ran away because he owed money. Otherwise, how could such a big store say it's not here? It's not here!"

I deliberately raised my voice.

Many tea drinkers were attracted by my words. They put down their tea cups one by one and looked over with interest.

The waiter's face became even uglier, and he couldn't even squeeze out a smile. He coughed lightly, came to me, and said in a low voice: "This guest, is it because our reception is not good, or you have something to hide, you might as well give me a hint. I’ll help you think of an idea right away. If you don’t have any, you’d better drink tea and do whatever you need to do. Isn’t it good for you and our store?”

I nodded solemnly, waved to him, and said, "To be honest, your boss owes me tens of thousands of gold coins and has not paid back. Today, I am here to collect the debt."

When the waiter heard this, his eyes widened and he stared at me with a crazy look for a long time. Then he lowered his voice and replied to me: "Sir, I didn't remind you that I have something to say." , there are some things you can’t say. Although our boss says it’s fun, he only plays for a small amount of money. He only carries single-digit silver coins in his pocket every day. If he loses, he will stop playing. It’s definitely not as exaggerated as you said. You This is nonsense, don’t talk about me, just someone else. A seven or eight-year-old kid might not be able to believe it."

"Hey, take a look, I'm telling you the truth, but you don't believe me." I pretended to sigh softly, and said, "In that case, you go to your boss and his wife and tell them what I said, and see how they react. .”

The waiter was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Sir, didn't I just tell you that our boss is the boss's wife?"

Putting my index finger in front of my lips, I interrupted the waiter, pointed vaguely upstairs, and said with a smile, "Go ahead."

When the waiter saw this, he finally stopped pretending to be stupid and went upstairs in a hurry.

Not long after, the waiter came downstairs again. This time when he came to the front, his attitude changed and became extremely respectful. He came closer and whispered: "Sir, the boss has invited you."

I chuckled, stood up, and was about to take a step, but stopped.

The waiter looked puzzled: "Sir, you."

Then under his surprised gaze, I stuffed the two pastries into my mouth, drank them with a full pot of tea, poured the melon seeds on the plate into my pocket, took out two silver coins from my pocket, and put them on the table. On the way, while eating melon seeds, he said: "The head leads the way."
