......
Dinner was brought by the attendants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Before the lid could be lifted, Anne could already smell the mouth-watering scent. Inside the tin box is a thick stack of golden bread that is kneaded and fermented with delicate wheat flour that has been peeled and peeled. In addition to that, there is a small packet of butter and a pot of broth, which is enough for five people.
"The spoons, dishes, etc are in the wooden cupboard in the cupboard, and breakfast will be delivered tomorrow, so there is no need to leave the food overnight. The attendant said methodically, "Please do not leave the diplomatic building without obtaining an official national identity card." In addition, the basement is not allowed to enter, so if you want to practice your skills, you can go to the rooftop deck on the top floor. There is a service room on the first floor, I sleep there, please feel free to come to me if you need anything. Unlike a hostel, all services are free. β
The five of them were stunned for a moment until the other party bowed and left, and they still didn't come back to their senses for a while.
"Is this the way the nobles are entertained? it's exactly like in the play," Amy was the first to sigh, "but there's something wrong with the lines." β
"For example?" said Broken Sword and the hero curiously.
"Like Your Excellency, it's an honor to serve you...... That's how it usually starts. β
"We're not aristocrats, so he wouldn't say that. Seventy-six chuckled, "Anyway, let's eat first, I'm already hungry." β
"That's right. Everyone swallowed in unison.
Isn't that good, is this a honey offensive launched by the king of Greykeep?Anne felt a wave of worry in her heart, it seemed like a co-optation move, but the head of the Witch League didn't even care about their abilities. This inconsistent move made it difficult for her to judge the other party's intentions. If she was alone, now that she has four more companions by her side, she must be more cautious and never make the same mistakes as before.
There is no doubt that the safest way is to stay away from the Westβthe Church is now doomed, and the worst enemy is gone. As long as they find a village or town close to a big city, they can hide their identities and live, as they did in the early morning.
It's a pity that this method doesn't work anymore.
Watching Seventy-Six staggering to the table, she couldn't help but sigh. Regardless, the League of Witches does have the power to heal the wounded, and the prospect described is quite tempting. Now that she saw the dawn of getting the hero back on her feet, she naturally couldn't walk away with the four of them.
Let's fill my stomach first.
When Anne put a piece of buttered bread in her mouth, she felt an unprecedented softness and sweetness fill her mouth, so delicate that not a single piece of grit melts almost as soon as you bite it, and it can easily flow into her throat without much chewing.
Damn, this honey offensive...... It's a little too fierce.
Although she thought so in her head, she found that her hand was uncontrollably touching the next piece.
For a while, almost no one spoke in the room, except for the sound of eating and drinking.
It wasn't until there were only a few scraps left in the tin box that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Will we be able to eat food like this in the future?" Broken Sword reluctantly sucked each finger.
"It should ...... Not likely," Amy picked up the pot and poured the fragrant broth evenly into five bowls, the golden noodle with a few shallots and circles of oil flowers wafting on the noodles, "This kind of bread should be something that only the upper class can afford, and my father eats it most often is coarse bread." β
"It's good to have coarse bread to eat, and don't forget that when we first arrive at dawn, it's hard to fill our stomachs. The hero blew on the hot air, couldn't wait to take a long sip, and then took a breath of warm air from his mouth, and groaned with long-lost satisfaction.
"Mistress Wendy says there are many benefits to joining the Witch League...... I don't know if the package doesn't include food?"
"Before she left, she said that she would take us to visit Neverwinter and the League of Witches tomorrow, so let's ask her then. β
"I wish I had. β
Hearing her friends gossiping about the possible treatment of the Witch Alliance, Anne had a vague hunch that they might be in the city for a long time.
......
After taking a shower, the group climbed into bed early - a living room consisting of a living room and four bedrooms, and after discussing it, the five of them quickly decided on the choice of a room. As the most powerful witch, Anne naturally chooses to share a bed with the hero, whose life is extremely inconvenient.
The beds were soft and didn't smell musty at all, and it was clear that there was a lot of cleaning here. There were only a few tiny flames left in the charcoal fire of the fireplace, and the flickering dim light reflected the furnishings of the room on the white stone walls, and the black shadows swayed gently, as if dancing with the cold wind howling outside the window.
She carries the hero under the covers and blows out the candles.
The warm palm quickly warmed the bed, and the hero squeezed into her arms and whispered, "It's been almost a year since we left the wolf's heart, right?"
"Hmm...... If you count from the day you arrived at the Dawn border, it is close to one year and two months. Anne nodded.
"And how long have we been away from home?"
The question silenced her, as Anne couldn't remember exactly when she left her hometown, only a remote village northwest of the Wolfheart. After the identity of the witch was revealed, she continued to trek eastward, covering most of the wolf's heart, until she was betrayed by the Blood Fang Society, and then stopped on the outskirts of the royal capital.
The same goes for Broken Swords and Heroes.
They were forced to leave home for their own reasons, and they went through hardships along the way, and finally met Anne in Wolfheart, and then fled together.
"I've been almost five years," the hero whispered, "and I've been hiding from the Church for almost a moment in the five years I've been hunting. When I was in the royal capital, I thought that I would finally not have to run anymore, but I didn't expect that even if I lost my legs, I still had to continue to run. β
Anne couldn't help but hug her a little tighter.
Mistress Wendy said...... This is the home of witches, can we really settle here?" The hero's voice was staccato like the faint sound of the wind outside the window, as if asking her, as if he was talking to himself, "I don't want to wander around anymore. β
Anne suddenly felt a little sour in her eyes, "Don't worry, we will have a room of our own, and you can regain your legs, and you can go wherever you want - not on the run, but on a leisurely trip." β
"Yes...... "The hero paused for a long time, "if only I had been born in Greykeep in the first place." By the end, her voice was inaudible.
Anne opened her mouth, and was about to say something when she heard the sound of even breathing in her ears.
The girl in her arms has fallen asleep.
