Chapter 169 The Strange Request From the Tavern Owner

Lan Wu's curiosity was piqued as he looked up and down at the fat tavern owner. He turned his head to look at Avila, and seeing that the latter had no intention of objecting, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, if it's not too troublesome, I can agree to it."

"No trouble, no trouble." The tavern owner shook his head like a rattle.

"Then sit down and talk." Lan Wu laughed and sat down again.

The tavern owner looked embarrassed, secretly looked back at the other people in the tavern, and quickly withdrew his gaze like a thief. He stuttered, forced a smile awkwardly, and invited in a low voice: "Dear sir, it's best not to let others hear about this. Can you come with me to talk about it in detail."

Lan Wu looked at the fat man strangely. It can't be heard by others. This matter is really weird. Professionals don't have so many secrets. This fat man who is obviously a civilian is so mysterious. He thought about it, stood up again, and winked at Avila.

"This sir should also..." The fat owner laughed dryly twice and lowered his head weakly. He knew that his proposal was too abrupt, and he didn't even dare to look at Olvera.

Ha, not even Olvera?

Lan Wu was happy and nodded happily to agree. This fat boss is very interesting. I don't know what kind of weird commission it is. He is more curious about the next development.

The fat boss got Lan Wu's affirmation, and saw Olvera sitting down without saying a word, obviously acquiesced, and immediately walked in front and led Lan Wu into the backyard of the tavern.

The backyard of the tavern is very large. The kitchen and the like are piled here. Several waiters hurried back and forth, delivering plates of steaming dishes. There is also a pile of firewood as high as a mountain in the corner of the yard. A little girl who looks severely malnourished is swinging an axe that is almost as tall as her and chopping firewood with great effort.

The little girl looks at most ten years old, thin and small, with a yellow face and thin body, like a child who has just escaped from a refugee camp. But she chops wood meticulously and seriously. Obviously a diligent little girl.

"Honorable Sir, can you please take her away?" The fat boss looked at Lan Wu hesitantly and put forward his commission.

"Huh?" Lan Wu opened his mouth wide and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. This fat man is also a part-time human trafficker? His eyes turned cold when he looked at the fat boss.

Human trafficking... Don't you know that what I hate most is human traffickers?

Seeing Lan Wu's smiling face change in an instant, the fat boss hurriedly smiled and explained awkwardly: "Honorable Sir, I am a decent person. I rescued her from a villain who specializes in human trafficking. I don't know her origins and want to send her home. But she refused to say anything and refused to leave. I had to leave her here to do some odd jobs. You are a noble and powerful professional. I can only ask you, I want to ask you to send her home."

Lan Wu's expression eased. It's better if she is not a soul who does human trafficking. He smiled and didn't intend to accept this commission. The girl herself didn't want to leave. Even if he was very powerful, he couldn't take her away by force. That would be no different from a bastard who was engaged in human trafficking.

Seeing that Lan Wu had no intention of accepting this commission, the fat boss was so anxious that he almost cried. He cried and begged: "Dear sir, please do me this little favor."

"Uh... she may not be willing to go with me." Lan Wu was in a dilemma. The fat boss almost knelt down. Sending a trafficked girl home is a good thing. But if she doesn't want to go, what can we do.

He knelt down, really knelt down.

The fat boss immediately knelt on the ground, begging with tears and snot, strongly asking Lan Wu to take the girl away. That look made people feel sad and gods cry.

"She doesn't want to leave." Lan Wu shook his head in embarrassment and pouted at the girl: "Look how hardworking the girl is. You got an extra laborer for nothing, aren't you happy enough?"

These words seemed to touch the fat boss's heart, and he burst into tears and cried loudly. The waiters who went back and forth between the front hall and the backyard looked at him sideways. But Lan Wu saw a little pity in the eyes of these waiters.

Pity?

A mere worker who works for others pities the boss. What's the rhythm?

Lan Wu was stunned, with a lot of question marks in his mind. This fat boss is really interesting. The capitalists are begging for free labor. This fat man got such a hardworking laborer for nothing...well, it's still a child laborer. But how much can the girl eat in one meal?

Suddenly, a thunderous rumbling sound rang out in the backyard. Lan Wu was shocked. It was the first time he heard someone make such a loud rumbling sound. He immediately lowered his head and looked at the fat boss. It was understandable that he was fat and had strange stomach sounds when he was hungry. But he didn't expect that the fat man was frightened by the rumbling sound.

What kind of rhythm is this?

Lan Wu was inexplicably surprised. The rumbling sound was obviously not made by the fat boss. At this time, another rumbling sound rang out. This time he heard it clearly, it was made by the malnourished little girl.

It must have been three days of hunger to have this effect.

Subconsciously, his eyes turned cold again when he looked at the fat boss. As a result, the fat boss didn't even look at him, but called a waiter in a daze, and bitterly told him to send food over quickly.

Misunderstood him?

Lan Wu was at a loss. At present, it seems that this fat boss is not maliciously exploiting this little girl. This fat guy is pretty good. The little girl didn't take the initiative to ask for food when she was hungry, but he took the initiative to prepare food for the little girl.

After a while, the waiter brought out a large wooden plate from the kitchen. There are at least thirteen or four dry and hard noodles stacked on top of each other. Lan Wu knows this rough dry biscuit. The civilians in Camp Rogge used to eat this dry biscuit as their staple food. He also tasted it. It was as hard as a wooden board and the taste was not good. It's okay to satisfy hunger, but it's hard to enjoy it as a delicacy.

The waiter brought the wooden plate to the little girl, put it down and immediately turned around and ran away. It seemed like the little girl would eat him together with the dry biscuit.

The little girl is quite polite. She turned to the fat boss and nodded gratefully, then grabbed the dry and hard biscuits and wolfed them down. It was the size of a dry biscuit plate, and she destroyed one in three mouthfuls without bringing any water. In less than five minutes, a dozen dry biscuits strangely entered her stomach. She licked off the crumbs on the plate with unsatisfied intentions, then turned back sheepishly to express her gratitude to the fat boss, and finally swung the ax and struggled to chop firewood.

Seeing this, Lan Wu already knew the plight of the fat boss. I'm afraid only a professional can support such a foodie with no taboos. The fat man finally opened a small shop to support his family. If you have such a foodie, why don't you rush in and give this little girl away like a plague?

"I'm embarrassing you." Lan Wu took out the bag of gold coins and stuffed it into the fat boss's hand, patted his shoulder and sighed. This fat man is a nice person and doesn't deserve to suffer like this. The latter felt sad and looked like he understood Long Live.

"I'll give it a try." Lan Wu nodded understandingly, turned around and walked towards the little girl who was working hard to chop firewood. Walking behind her, he hadn't spoken yet. Bruna suddenly made a confused sound.

"She seems to have a smell that I'm very familiar with."

Lan Wu looked at Bruna from the corner of his eye with a strange expression. After all, there are outsiders here, so it is not convenient to reveal the existence of the four ghosts of Rodament. In his impression, Bruna rarely opened her mouth and always stared expectantly at everything that looked edible. In this respect, she and this little girl do have something in common. Maybe I feel the same foodie soul.

"We must take her away." Bruna has become more mature than ever, changing her previous image of a foodie.

"Yes." Lan Wu nodded with a heavy heart. Eileen just couldn't keep up with her nutrition, so she was as thin as a stick. The little girl was obviously more malnourished. Not only to save the fat boss, but also to save this snack foodie is also a very important issue.

"Are you willing to come with me?" Lan Wu said gently behind the little girl with a stern look on his face: "I can take you home. I will make you eat before I take you home."

The little girl turned her head, her eyes full of contradictory emotions of expectation and suspicion. Obviously she didn't fully believe Lan Wu's words and still remained vigilant.

"I am the Divine Benefactor." Lan Wu smiled gently and rubbed the little girl's withered hair: "Have you ever heard of the Divine Benefactor? The Divine Benefactor is the incarnation of a god walking in the world. I am a god. The benefactor.”

The little girl's eyes lit up. The suspicion quickly faded away. Lan Wu felt relieved. This little girl has an extraordinary origin. To know a name like God's Benefactor that is only left in ancient scrolls, it seems that her family background is not simple.

"Look, this is my companion holy weapon." Lan Wu smiled gently, raised his finger and pointed at the fifteen small amulets that were slowly rotating around him, and started talking nonsense.

The little girl's eyes became even more excited. Accompanying Sacred Artifact, what an awesome name.

"Are you willing to come with me?" Lan Wu rubbed the little girl's yellow hair again. Erin liked to rub her head like this. Now it seems that the little girl doesn't seem to be disgusted either.

"I...I am willing to follow you." The little girl may not have spoken for a long time, and her voice was very intrusive, but her words were clear.

"Boss." Lan Wu smiled and turned back, wanting to ask the boss to prepare some more delicious food. The dozen dry biscuits just now cannot really be considered food for children. Unexpectedly, he saw the fat boss staring at him blankly. He thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the fat man had also been fooled by him.

God's favored person sounds noble, but in fact it is of little use. Except for feeling a little bit of authority in Rogge camp, other places are basically equal to zero. There are not many advantages, but there are many disadvantages. No, it can cause chaos wherever you go. This time when we come to Kurast Port, Mephisto might jump out.

Forget it, this fat man is a nice person, let's go eat somewhere else to avoid causing trouble to others.
