What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 51

"It smells so good!"

Angelica shrugged her nose, looking at the mushroom soup brought by the halfling, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Of course!" Sodick put two bowls of mushroom soup in front of the two of them, with his hands on his hips, and said proudly, "Sodick's mushroom soup is also famous among halflings!"

After Ren thanked Sodick, he took a spoonful with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, the rich aroma of milk and the deliciousness of mushrooms filled his mouth.

"Wow, great workmanship!"

Ren gave Sodick a thumbs up, affirming his cooking skills.

"I also tasted a little bit of black pepper in the mushroom soup, did you spice it up?"

The guest's praise for the dishes is the best affirmation for a chef, especially when the other party can still comment on the dishes.

"You know I put black pepper? Can you still taste it?"

The halfling's eyes were full of surprises, and his affection for Rennes was "on the rise".

"Well, when my father returned from his travels in the early years, he brought home some spices, including black pepper. I still remember this taste."

In the Western Continent, the seasoning of spices is basically exclusive to merchants, nobles and adventurers.

The price of at least 15 golden eagle coins per pound makes ordinary people have no strength to consume at all, and only the middle class in big cities can buy a little during holidays.

"However, I think that if some tangerine peel that is unique to the Eastern Continent is put in it, it should be able to add a unique fragrance of oranges, and the taste of this thick soup will be more substantial."

A good customer is one who can make useful suggestions for dishes!
Sodick was overjoyed, but the next second he drooped his head.

"Unfortunately, I followed the caravan almost all over the Western Continent, but the Cathay Dynasty on the Eastern Continent has no chance to meet..."

Speaking of the Cathay Dynasty, the halfling's eyes are full of longing.

For the various intelligent races in the Western Continent, the Cathay Dynasty in the Eastern Continent is a distant and mysterious country.

"If there is no accident, I will travel to the Eastern Continent in the next few years, and maybe I can bring you some spices and ingredients that are not available here."

Ren thought for a while and said.

If he wanted to unlock all the abilities of the ancient equipment [Asrod Scarab], he had to go to the Eastern Continent.

Helping the halfling bring some ingredients and spices unique to the Eastern Continent is a matter of convenience, but it can reap a lot of favors.

Ren still has a good impression of this halfling who likes food.

Among other things, if I get closer to Sodick, I may be able to use his network to get some rare information in the future.

"Really? Then I will show the best craftsmanship to entertain you two!"

"Mr. Sodick, where have you traveled with the caravan?"

At this time, Angelica, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly asked, her eyes full of curiosity about the outside world.

Speaking of this, Sodick suddenly became energetic.

He took out a pipe from his dimensional pouch, put a pinch of cured tobacco in it, lit it, took a small puff, exhaled a ring-shaped smoke ring, and began to recall his experience.

"Except for the territory of the barbarians in the north, I have been to the sacred griffins in the middle of the mainland, or Tumgray next to the highest forest. But what impressed me the most was Tumgray's magic industry. Did you know that they have even developed large trucks that are nearly [-] meters long and can move by themselves without animal power? They can run on rails laid on the ground, and their speed is faster than ordinary horse-drawn carriages! That’s what I saw The most shocking magical creation ever!"

Listening to Sodick's eloquent and upbeat narration, Miss Ranger, who has never seen anything in the world, widened her eyes, while Renn lowered his head deeply.

Sure enough, all halflings like to brag, or rather, exaggerate!

He glanced at the buddies and guards not far away without any trace, and seeing their expressions that couldn't bear to look directly, he knew that this little man was bragging for a day or two, these people in the caravan were all out of order Here comes the resistance!
Among the words Sodik said, the first sentence is very likely to be true, but the description of the Tumgray Empire later is definitely "artistically processed".

As a former player, Renn knows best when the group of Tumgray empire mechanics will research the magical core that can actually be used in military and business—at least a year away from now.

The one mentioned by the half body population can only be the earliest experimental product, and the length is not as exaggerated as he said, three or four meters is enough to reach the sky, and the speed is not as fast as he said!

However, as a time traveler, Ren can't go against his conscience and say that what Sodick said is not true, at least he predicted the situation a few years later, didn't he?
It can be said that facing the chaos in the Western Continent a few years later, the Tumgray Empire, which carried out the Magic Industrial Revolution, was the best among the four major powers.

Well, if it weren't for those druids to make trouble...

While the few people were chatting, the captain of the caravan's guard, Delite, rode to the side of the halfling and said respectfully:
"Boss, everyone has had dinner, should we leave now?"

Sodick nodded solemnly.

"Tell everyone, take the campsite as the center, check carefully in a radius of five miles, and explore three miles in the direction we are going. Also, let everyone be careful."

"What's the matter, Mr. Sodick?"

The girl was slightly taken aback when she saw the serious look of the halfling who always had a smile on her face.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uneasy in my heart, so I asked Dwight to take the rangers and rogues to investigate the surroundings again, just in case."

Sodick said with a smile.

"Halfling's premonition?" Ren frowned slightly, and then said, "How about Angelica and I also come to help? She is a ranger and has an owl as an animal companion; I It is a paladin, and in small-scale battles, whether it is a human shield or an auxiliary, it can play a certain role."

Ren briefly stated the advantages of the two.

Miss Ranger at the side nodded repeatedly.

In her opinion, this halfling invited her and Ren to drink delicious mushroom soup, and told herself so many things about the outside world.

Now the caravan seems to be in some trouble. If I just sit back and ignore it, I will always be a little unreasonable, and I will not be able to get over the hurdle in my heart.

The halfling pondered for a moment, then nodded, and confessed to the captain of the guard:

"De Lite, take the two guests with you personally, and pay attention to their safety."

He could tell that this paladin named "Ren" seemed to be a veteran in the wilderness, but that Miss Ranger was a complete rookie.

Facing the two uninvited Rennes, although Dwight felt a little displeased, he had no choice but to nod because of the order of the halfling.

"Two, follow me, don't run around."

With that said, he rode his horse towards the direction of the road in the distance.

Ren and Angelica also got on their horses and followed closely behind the caravan captain.

At the same time, the guards left enough manpower to guard the camp, formed a small team of three or four, and walked towards the wilderness.

They want to find out, if possible, the source of the halfling's uneasiness.
