Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 52 The popcorn is offered and begged to be spared
252
Ms. Moghley turned and left. Her steps were as firm as her words and demeanor.
But for some reason, Fang Qiuling always felt that Ms. Mogre's back was a little gloomy. The kind of loneliness that is in the middle of the city, but no one cares.
Mogre is a veteran paladin. She is strong, responsible, and assertive, and is undoubtedly the mainstay of the Temple of Notos. However, her personality is too serious, and this kind of personality is difficult to be welcomed by everyone. Just by the simple sitting position in which the rest was telling, Ms. Mogre was always alone. Even two male paladins of the same faith were reluctant to sit with her.
Strong and lonely. People who are strong on the outside are often not strong on the inside, but only protect themselves with a thick shell to avoid being hurt on the soft inside. Is the same true for Ms. Moghley?
Looking at the back of the female paladin leaving alone, Fang Qiuling was slightly distracted.
Tom Hadner Sr., perhaps as he should be called Stanhard Loka Falsa, the general of the Kingdom of Karthus who rose to prominence in the First Kuroshio War.
Eliza, O. Eliza Oromi, leader of the Agarwal Charms, psychic mancers, and powerful master of thunder and lightning.
- Platum Joestar, commander of the Knights of the Fog Sunset, general of the Kingdom of Karthas known as the "Blue Eagle".
Anyone who is familiar with you can find the corresponding NPC in the world of Elune.
But the strength is a cut above Old Tom, and the transcendent status in the Temple of Notos is Lady Mogre, Sally Mogre, Fang Qiuling does not remember such a female Notos Paladin.
The will of the world can even be accurately restored in the game by the skinny salesman uncle in the grocery store and the fat aunt who sells vegetables on the roadside, and Sally Mogree is missing, which shouldn't be. Did something happen to her?
Fang Qiuling shrugged.
Everything in the world can be dealt with in two sentences. The first sentence: Whatever you do. The second sentence is what I do.
At the moment, Ms. Moghley's affairs clearly belong to the latter - what do I care! Or rather, what does it have to do with me!
The two small pots on the campfire made a crisp sound.
"Smack, smack......"
The tin foil wrapped around the pot visibly bulged to the naked eye. Through the partially transparent position, you can see that the corn is constantly blooming and turning into popcorn.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Lily was startled and almost threw the pot out of her hand.
The serious topic just now made the atmosphere of the scene solemn, but another flavor that was different from the strong aroma of coffee gradually spread, which made the solemn atmosphere relaxed.
"Don't move, bake it for a while. It would be nice to be able to bulge all the top. ”
Frying pan popcorn Fang Qiuling hasn't played much either. If you want to eat popcorn in this world, you can buy it directly, and rarely buy this kind of semi-finished product and come back to get it yourself, because it is not very convenient, and the taste is also very average. This thing appears inside the supply, presumably due to its small size. It was flattened and folded, almost filling the extra space in the crate.
Most of the wounded on the ground after a great battle were released by the banshee's howl. The wounded are very demoralizing, and it can be terrible to hear them wail from time to time. Human beings are sensual creatures and are easily influenced by external factors and others. So eat some sweets at this time to improve your mood.
The one in Shino's hand is caramel-flavored, and the one in Lily's hand is creamy. Sweet popcorn is a snack, but it's also a sweet tooth. Compared to the current place where there is no village and no store, it is definitely unrealistic to get a cake or something. I'll leave it at that.
"Isn't that good?"
The creamy popcorn in Lily's hand was completely bulging. Through the transparent plastic packaging, you can see the milky white popcorn balls inside.
"yes, alright."
Fang Qiuling drew on the plastic packaging with his hand. As soon as the vindictive spirit was collected and released, the plastic packaging was immediately cut, and a steaming heat came out, accompanied by a richer milky aroma.
"Wow!"
Lily's eyes instantly became sparkling, as if there were little stars hidden inside.
Fang Qiuling grabbed a few popcorns and threw them into his mouth.
"It's ok, it's a bit stiff. But it's okay. ”
It's barely enough to eat. In the wilderness, don't ask for too much.
After buying this kind of fast food, you only need to follow the instructions for foolish operations. However, even if it is a fool's operation, people with no cooking skills can easily mess up, and the most common is heating too quickly and unevenly. Unfortunately, the popcorn in Lily's hand was both of these faults. The taste is a little stiff and a little hard, far less delicious than the finished product packaged in plastic barrels bought in the supermarket, and even less delicious than the popcorn counter at the entrance of the movie theater.
Another nice smell came, a sweet caramel scent.
The popcorn in Shino's hand also bulged. She saw Fang Qiuling's move of opening the package, so she directly learned the same way and did it herself.
The plastic packaging is cut open, and the sweet aroma is different from the milky aroma, making people feel like they are in the world of caramel.
Picking one up with his slender fingers and throwing it into his mouth, Shino's red pupils immediately began to dilate.
- So sweet!
Lily had already grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, and her cheeks were also very cute bulging.
"What is this?"
Old Tom couldn't help but ask.
I thought it was just two small pots, but the gluttonous stinky boy planned to get something to eat. I didn't expect that there was material directly inside!
"Popcorn, the raw material is corn. Add cream, caramel and the like to taste ......"
Sino came over with popcorn and motioned for Fang Qiuling to enjoy it. However, Fang Qiuling shook his head slightly and touched Sino's head.
"I don't eat it, Shino eats it himself."
Shino is really well-behaved, even if he doesn't like to talk much, even if he likes to hide and pretend to be transparent most of the time. I don't know how those two existent might have found such a cute kitten charm.
"Corn? I remember you said that corn is used to make that colorless wine! ”
This sweet thing old Tom just felt curious and didn't care much. But if it's related to wine, he can jump high.
"Yes, corn is one of the five grains used in Wuliangye."
"How do you make something sweet like this? Is it bad to use for sake brewing? ”
Fang Qiuling suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Lily on the side suddenly stopped. Popcorn is so delicious, why can't it be made? It's the biggest waste to make wine all of it!
"Mr. Hadna, you're not right. What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? That's a lot better than the ale you drink every day! What is so good to drink if it is sour."
Girls generally have little resistance to sweets. Especially in Elune, a world where sugar is still a luxury, it is very rare to be able to taste sweetness.
"Hmph, this thing can only ...... I can only deceive the little girl, the big man wants to eat this! ”
Old Tom still had a small half-bag of beef jerky in his hand, and about seven or eight pieces. The spicy beef jerky is too much for his taste, and a man should eat this kind of delicious thing!
There are a lot of beef jerky in the supply, second only to various staple foods in quantity, and they are all packed in large packages, so that a bag is about two to three catties. So far, Fang Qiuling hasn't moved much, and the first time he took it out, he was well received.
But then Fang Qiuling noticed that Lili's vigilant gaze full of suspicion swept over.
“…… What's wrong? ”
"Is this something to deceive the little girl?"
Old Tom's unintentional words succeeded in alerting Lily.
- Damn nobleman, don't expect a little sweet to let me go!
“…… Of course not. ”
"You're trying to lie to me again?"
"Nothing no, nothing ......"
Fang Qiuling turned his gaze away with a little embarrassment. To say that there is no such mind must be against the will.
In the face of extremely diverse and abundant material conditions in the world, girls are still very fond of sweets. In other words, Elune, who is short of material conditions, has sweets in hand, and the girls are not ready to catch them?
Paladins are strong-willed. Lily is not very old, but she is already an officially inaugurated paladin, and it is certainly unrealistic to expect to trick her with a little popcorn. But it should be okay to ease the relationship a little.
But...... When did I cheat on her?
Fang Qiuling suddenly found that she was tricked by Lily.
Turning his gaze again, he saw Lily's vigilance and suspicion turn into undisguised anger.
- You liar! Sure enough, they are plotting against me!
Fang Qiuling was immediately defeated. With Old Tom, a pig teammate, the little girl should be coaxed!
Sighing slightly, Fang Qiuling hid on the other side of the campfire alone.
I can't afford to provoke it, I should be able to hide, right?
Fang Qiuling hid aside, and Sino followed closely.
However, Lily's eyes were quick and she grabbed Shino. Shino struggled a few times, although his strength was not great, but his attitude was very resolute. Lily was reluctant to let go. The two figures circled in a small circle one after the other, and sat down beside Fang Qiuling leisurely.
As long as she was not far away from Fang Qiuling, Shino didn't struggle anymore and let Lily drag her. The two girls soon began to whisper to each other. But basically Lily said, Shino listened.
- Alas!
Fang Qiuling sighed in his heart.
If you knew that Lily was a paladin who was the goddess of love, she would never provoke her. At that time, other methods should also be able to wake up Lily who is in a daze, such as slapping her! Slap her face into a pig's head and see if she can come to her senses!
After drinking all the coffee in the cup, Fang Qiuling lay down on the ground very casually, looking at the night sky full of moons and stars.
- That's right. Lily, what is this little girl's full name? How did a paladin who served the goddess of love, Shuna, come to this place?
The god of love, Shuna, is not low, and it belongs to medium divine power. But her church is a relatively loose organization. With the exception of the main shrine in Aphrona, there are no temples in any other region. Her followers are not so much spreading the doctrine of Eros in the midst of their trials as they are looking around for beautiful encounters.
The Kingdom of Karthas is not a first-class power on the continent of Araka, and the Misty Lake region is even more remote and unwanted in the countryside. Looking for a beautiful encounter to find this place, I really don't know what my brain thinks.
Could it be ...... The little girl looks lively and cheerful, but she actually came out of the "abnormal human research room"? Or. She's a road blind and got lost in the misty lake?
Fang Qiuling secretly rubbed his heart and arranged it.
"Hey!"
“!”
Fang Qiuling is an agitated spirit. I was a little panicked, but the expression on my face remained natural.
"Hey! I'm calling you! ”
Lily sat down beside her at some point, the expression on her face unhappy. Her big bright eyes reflected the red glow of the campfire, and she looked extraordinarily bright.
Is it better to apologize? Or is it better to pretend that nothing happened? It's better to run away?
Fang Qiuling didn't know what to say for a while. Since you don't know what to say, let's be silent. However, the reaction still has to be given, turning his head slightly to indicate that he is listening, so it should be okay...... bar.
The beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed that the owner's mood was actually extremely worried, and it was not as calm as she appeared.
"You...... Do you owe me an account? ”
“…… Be. ”
Fortunately, the opening was not "I think I should be responsible", otherwise Fang Qiuling would definitely jump up and run.
"Tell me, how are you going to explain?"
“…… I do not know. You say. ”
Fang Qiuling's posture was very low. After all, it is taking advantage of other people's little girls, and it is natural to pay something. As long as it is not an excessive condition, he is ready to agree.
The low posture made the corners of Lily's mouth slightly upturned.
"You're a bard...... Then I don't have any problems, just sing, as long as it moves me. ”
"Okay, no problem. What would you like to hear? ”
"Love songs, of course."
"Love songs?"
Many of the bards also believe in Eros Shuna, and there are many part-time bards among the priests of Eros, so love songs for Eros belong to the bard's repertoire. But what is good to sing? Mist Lake, Karthas area, what are the local folk love songs, completely unfamiliar.
"First of all, it had to be a new song, a new song that I hadn't heard before."
Lily held up a finger.
“…… Yes! ”
- That's a good request!
Fang Qiuling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Local folk love songs can be directly excluded, so as not to expose themselves.
Lily held up a second finger: "There must be a story in the song." ”
"The story? Is that...... What does a narrative poem mean? ”
- This requirement is a bit difficult.
Fang Qiuling's brows furrowed.
"Of course narrative poetry does." Lily held up a third finger, "It has to be a love song, but it can't have words like or love." ”
“……”
Fang Qiuling turned over and sat up, his eyes widening.
- Isn't that embarrassing!
New songs, new songs that tell stories, and words like likes and love are not allowed. That's too much to ask!
Lily picked her chin and didn't cut her face: "Why, can't you sing?" ”
"For a while, of course I can't sing!"
"It's very simple, follow me to Aurora, and the High Priest will take care of it."
"Cut, when you encounter something, you will only call your parents!"
"Call the parents?" The new words that popped out of Fang Qiuling's mouth made Lily stunned, but she immediately understood the meaning, "It's okay if you don't call your parents, I'll come directly!" ”
The big pretty eyes narrowed completely.
- Beat it up first, and then ask for interest!
Before Lily could raise her small fist.
"Stop! Wait a minute! ”
"What's wrong?"
"I thought about it."
"What comes to mind?"
"Love song, the love song you want!"
