Chapter 53 The Trouble of the City Lord

The White Tower was still spotless, and the Lord Biers seemed to be in a bad mood. When he saw Cecil and Langdon, he said expressionlessly, "Good day, gentlemen knights."

Oh, the greeting was cold enough.

"Good day, Lord Biers." Langdon replied sternly, as if he was an old-school knight, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's not a big deal." Bills frowned, showing a somewhat shy expression, "I recently tried some...food, um, those dangerous foods."

"Oh—is your body okay?" Langdon immediately showed a concerned expression, and Cecil unconsciously moved a step away, "Please take care!"

"The doctor said that as long as you eat three meals of ox's eyeballs..."

Cecil couldn't take it anymore: "Your Excellency, don't eat bull's eyeballs anymore, that's useless!"

Bills looked over, with some dissatisfaction: "That's a gift from Mooshi to Ebo."

"Yes, it is indeed a gift in terms of food and skin, but it is not for curing diseases. Bull's eyeballs are useless for diarrhea." Cecil said helplessly, "I can help you take a look, maybe it will be effective... Anyway, don't If we eat eyeballs to cure diseases, even the yaks will die in peace!"

Langdon's expression was perfectly maintained, without the slightest sign of wanting to laugh, but the corners of his mouth raised a few suspicious degrees.

Bills seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it after a while, closed his mouth, and after repeating this a few times, he cleared his throat: "I'm fine, it's just...cough, the beef noodles you sell are really delicious .”

Cecil blinked: "We haven't had a stall these days."

Because of the sudden extra 100 people, Mrs. Krass and the wild children were too busy. Not only did they not have enough energy, but they didn’t even have enough materials for making noodles. It happened that someone was making trouble, so the beef noodle stall decided to take a break for a while, and wait until the shop was rented. .

"Cough!" Two red clouds flew out of Biers' fat and fair face, "There is a nobleman who saved a little bit."

Cecil resisted the urge to cover his eyes, and said dryly: "I know what's going on, it's just that the food has gone bad. Didn't it taste strange when you ate it?"

"It seems a bit sour." Bills said thoughtfully, "I thought it was another special flavor."

"...In short, it's not a big deal. Besides diarrhea, do you still have stomach pain?" Cecil decided to cut the mess quickly.

"That's right, that's true!" Biers said quickly, "It's also painful when you poop! The doctor said that the evil spirit has infiltrated the intestines, it's terrible!"

Cecil stayed like a fool for a while before he said bluntly: "I will send you medicine, and there are some useful things."

Of course, Hu Huanglian would not carry it with him. Bills sent his servants to get it on a sacred yak, while Cecil took out the toilet paper cheekily: "This thing is for wiping your butt after going to the toilet."

"Toilet?" Bills asked in confusion.

"It's for after shit," Cecil put it bluntly.

Biers took it with a reserved look and said, "Does this have any special effect?"

"It can relieve the pain in the butt." Cecil said straight to the point, and I am afraid that there is no way to talk even if it is euphemistic.

Hu Huanglian took it and decocted it, and the Lord Biers poured it into a bowl without blinking an eye. Not a lot.

A meal of tasteless magic bread. This time, Cecil resolutely refused to drink magic wine. Just kidding, not only tasteless but also drunk, what are you trying to do?

After dinner, Bills' mustachioed valet drove Langdon and Cecil all the way to the exit of Fallwind Valley, in a yak cart capable of jolting people into idiots.After stepping on the grassland, he didn't even recover from the shaking, and he couldn't help holding Langdon's arm.

After the two walked for a while, Langdon suddenly said, "What do you think Bills is keeping us for dinner?"

"Witness the effect of the medicine?" Cecil guessed.

Langdon raised his eyebrows: "I'm glad to see your progress."

"Anyway, we're going to the store." Cecil's voice dropped, "Although Bills has to pay back the money every month, why renting the private store to us is obviously a forced shareholding!"

Langdon smiled good-naturedly, as if he didn't care at all: "This is already a very generous move for him, and he even gave you a [-]% discount on the rent."

"Who wants his [-]% off rent?" Cecil sighed, "It's obviously much more expensive than the market price."

Langdon said a few words of reassurance, but Cecil still felt uncomfortable until he was pulled into a warm embrace and a kiss was pressed on the temple.

"Don't worry about it," Langdon whispered into Cecil, tickling him. "You just need to keep moving toward your goal."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Cecil suddenly realized that one of his goals was to be around?This large, moving, and warm man has a suitable environment and means.

"Landon..."

"Ok?"

"Then what, there's something I want to ask you."

"Say."

What is your relationship with Oakes and Russell?What is a teacher?

Cecil went through this sentence several times in his heart, and he said only after he felt that it was safe, "What kind of sexual relationship do you have with Oakes and Russell?"

"Sexual relationship?"

Fuck! !no! !Help! !

Cecil yelled suddenly, broke free from Langdon's arm and rushed forward without looking back, not daring to look back at all, so he missed Langdon's rare look of astonishment and subsequent chuckle , and the little movement of touching his nose.

After returning to the mud hut, Cecil still couldn't calm down. The embarrassing cancer was spreading rapidly. The baby rushed out to greet him, and then showed contemptuous eyes.

"Shut up, don't bark." Cecil flaunted his prestige at the Tibetan mastiff, "I have too many things to do, alas—"

The air is filled with the smell of roasted saffron. People come and go in the paper mill. From time to time, someone brings out a large amount of chopped yellow paper. The smell of beef comes from the kitchen.

"By the way, it's time to make bacon." When talking about appetite, Cecil immediately calmed down a lot.

After a day's rest, the handsome and handsome knights recovered one after another. Although some of them looked blue-faced and over-indulgent, Cecil didn't dare to speak or ask. He slept like a corpse at night. There was nothing he could do. The labor intensity is too great to bear.

On a crisp autumn day, Ebo's grocery store opened. Cecil named the store "Grocery Store", which was written in Chinese on a wooden horizontal plaque and hung on the door lintel, in line with the surrounding The hanging signboards form a sharp contrast and have a unique exotic style.

The most eye-catching thing is the iron bucket of beef bone soup placed outside the store. The whole street is filled with the smell of meat modulated with saffron. There is no fishy smell that is often found in cooked meat, only the fresh aroma that tempts to salivate.Every day from morning to night, people sit at the door with a bowl and eat noodles, which attracts a lot of attention. It is the only "safe" food that civilians can afford. So far, no one has died from eating beef noodles. Ebo people Consider this a blessing from the moose - the beef noodle has become famous in Ebo.

The hunted meat is far from enough, and part of the yak meat needs to be bought, which increases the price. However, Cecil was surprised to find that many middle-class people in Ebo prefer to eat yak meat noodles, and they have to pray devoutly before eating. Fan, anyway, he is happy to make money.

Carrying water from the wild every day is a heavy job, so the knights assigned two people to carry water from morning to night.

Langdon said that it was for the sake of Bills' store that it allowed the use of outside water instead of forcing purchases in the city.

In addition to food, the store also sells something called "paper". At first, the Ebo people didn't understand what it was for. It was light and soft, and it couldn't wrap things or make clothes. Listen to the handsome guy in the store explain After learning how to use it, the customers laughed happily.

"You still have to spend money to buy something to wipe your butt, I'm really out of my mind!"

"It's not a magic product, what do the people who make this thing think?"

"That's it."

After all, you get used to the smell after a long time, and it doesn't matter if everyone has shit in their crotches.When the first clean man appeared, he was ridiculed by others, saying that he was "a fastidious man who can't afford magic bread".This attitude changed after Bills' mustachioed servant came to the store to buy paper in person. Everyone seemed to be unable to stand the smell overnight and wanted to get clean.

"Actually, it still smells bad." Cecil said disdainfully, "If you don't take a shower, what's the use of just wiping your butt?"

"Don't move." Langdon straightened Cecil's head. "You asked me to cut your hair. Be careful."

Of course, haircuts are not allowed here. Langdon shaved Cecil's scalp with a knight's dagger. Soon, Cecil changed into the appearance of being out of prison again, which was much more refreshing.

"By the way, we still need to build a bathhouse." Cecil muttered, "Wait until winter and concentrate on heating hot water for bathing. You'll know it once, it's best to have a fire under the water, keep heating..."

"Cooking human flesh?"

"……no."

Cecil couldn't go on talking, it was really like boiling people.

Langdon touched Cecil's bald head and said with a smile, "I really don't know why you like this hairstyle so much, it's too ugly. By the way, what was the kang you mentioned last time?"

"Oh, it's a heating measure." Cecil asked curiously, "Can we get a city-wide air conditioner like Ebo's?"

"I can't figure it out. The city-wide air conditioner is a masterpiece made by a great magician who was hired by the city owner of Ebo. It has been running for hundreds of years. No one knows what price Ebo paid back then, but the descendants of Ebo I really enjoyed the shadow of my predecessors."

Cecil swallowed back the words: What if Ebo's air conditioner breaks down one day?
