Next, the sumptuous lunch prepared by the cook seemed unable to arouse Mena's appetite.

At the dinner table, Mei Na couldn't help but inquired about the relationship between Funk and Pound. After hearing Funk smirking and saying that they had already closed an account a while ago, Mei Na had a moment of astonishment on her face, and then said: Twitching the corners of his mouth, he gave congratulations stiffly.It's not hard to find the disappointment and resentment toward Funk in Mena's eyes just by taking a second look; it's as if Funk betrayed her feelings for her.

Pound raised his eyebrows in his heart, and at this moment he pushed a plate of rib meat to Funk who was still giggling, asking him to help remove the bones.Funk took it without hesitation; he was often responsible for this kind of work in the field, so he diligently cut the ribs into bite-sized pieces skillfully, and checked the table to see if there was anything else he needed to serve.

Seeing that she was completely ignored, Mena was stunned for a while, and then she glanced over Pound, only to find that Pound was staring at her for a long time with a smile on her face. I, let me just say, funk him, he is very good at taking care of people..."

"We all know what funk is like," Pound smiled, and said with concern, "but Miss Mena's appetite seems to be poor. Is there any 'reason'? Or is it that the things in front of me are not to your taste? Or, I asked the cook to prepare some northern dishes? She also cooks for funk these days."

Pound asked three consecutive questions, which made Mena shake her head quickly, "No, no, it's very delicious, thank you Pang, Your Excellency Pound for your hospitality." As if Pound didn't believe it, she grabbed the spoon on the table and hurriedly He took a mouthful of soup down his throat.

Seeing that Mena was much more honest, the coldness under Pound's smile gradually faded away, and he glanced at Funk beside him; Will try to be polite to her.

However, it has to be said that Pound still somewhat underestimated Mena's combat effectiveness.Under Mena's weak appearance, there is indeed some northern stubbornness.Seeing a few people using it calmly for a while, Mena seemed to have survived the shock, readjusted her strategy, and started to bring up the topic at the dinner table again.

This time, she chose an interesting story that happened between her and Funk when they were young, and said she would share it with Pound.

According to Mena, since she only has a father, and the Funk brothers' parents died early, the three of them often spend time together.Fenley Big Funk is five years old, and he is the big brother who brought up Funk.Mei Na is two years older than Funk, but she is the shortest in the village. She was not very beautiful when she was a child, and was often bullied by other children. At that time, she would come to play with the brothers.

Fenley was smart, quick-witted, but short-tempered from an early age.On the contrary, Funk is a lot more straightforward, but it may have been honed by Fenli, and he has a good temper that is not afraid of beating and scolding.When the three of them were together, she was like their little sister.So she and Funk both like big brother Fenli very much.

Mena's funny words, from the beginning, I didn't realize Mena's weird funk, and I was full of nostalgia.For a while, the atmosphere at the table was harmonious and happy. Only Pound chewed the steak and thought about these two or three sentences of Mena, and he was able to downplay his "doubtful love" into a child of brotherly affection. Mu, next, isn't it...

Sure enough, after hearing Mena say a paragraph, she bent her eyes and smiled at Funk, "It's great that we can meet each other like this now that we are away from the north. In the future, as long as I think of my home in the north, I can still come I want to talk to you and relieve my boredom, right?"

Funk asked in surprise, "Aren't you going back to the north?"

Mena paused, glanced at Pound and asked Funk, "Are you going back?"

Funk looked at Pound anxiously, and Pound shrugged, "We will always go back. If you are used to living here, you can stay longer."

Funk's eyes lit up, and he nodded greatly, "If we're not used to living here, we'll go back to the south, I don't care."

Pound smiled, and then asked, "I don't know which city Miss Mena and your teacher live in? Maybe I will have a chance to visit when I pass by in the future."

In this way, being active and passive is the opposite of what Mena just said.Facing the smiling Pound, Mena was inexplicably nervous, "I, we are from the city of Lure, not far from here."

"Luhr?" Pound turned to look at Funk, "You know?"

This question is because Pound is really unfamiliar with the geography of the empire, but Mena, who was overwhelmed by the luxury here, sounds like Pound despises the remoteness of the city of Lure and has never heard of it.

"Lure," Funk added the information, "Yomo is a small town about two hundred miles southwest of here, near Fang Suo."

Mena asked cautiously, "Then, where do you live?"

Funk was about to answer when the doorbell rang.

Since the cook left early after finishing her work, Funk got up and answered the door.Pang De didn't particularly want to answer Mena's question, so he also bowed at this time, and followed Funk to see who was visiting.

The person who came was Bergland, who was always busy since the start of the competition.

When he saw Pound and Funk, Bergland didn't enter the door, so he greeted him at the door, "Hey, Mr. Pound, Mr. Funk, sorry to bother you, I just sent an invitation letter specially," he said. Respectfully present an envelope with bronzing and sealing wax.

When Mena heard the movement in the foyer, she also came out of the dining room curiously, and her eyes widened slightly when she saw Bergeron himself.

When the Potion Contest opened, Bergland, as the representative of the co-organizer, had given a speech on stage.Coupled with the various turmoil in the recent Potts auction house, Berggrand is now well-known in Kuluo City, and even the bad-tempered city lord seems to be somewhat enthusiastic about Berggrand.

Pound thanked him, accepted Bergland's invitation letter, and asked with a smile, "Is this the last day of competition?"

"Yes, the tickets for the common seats were sold out a few months ago, and I still dug out two tickets for the special seats from the city lord," Bergrund said with a smile, and at the same time, he noticed that there were still people behind the two of Pound with sharp eyes. There was a woman in ordinary clothes, "Also, there is an invitation letter for tomorrow's formula auction in the envelope. I thought the two gentlemen would also be interested, so I got it together."

"Thank you for your trouble," Pound smiled sincerely.To say that Bergland's ability to draw inferences from one instance and handle affairs in a comprehensive manner is really top-notch.

"Where. I'm sorry to bother you. It seems that you still have guests, so I'll be leaving now." Bergland didn't chat a few more words like usual, and said goodbye quickly, "Please come to watch the competition tomorrow, both gentlemen. "

Pound and Funk agreed and delivered it at the door.Then she turned around and saw Mena standing behind her staring wide-eyed, her mood seemed quite uneasy; she was unconsciously grabbing the long skirt with her fingers, and there was a gleam in her eyes that was much warmer than before, Pound felt a little bad, Just when she was about to call Mena back to the dining room, there was another hasty knock on the closed door.

Only the summoned servants knock at the door; for they are not allowed to disturb the guests with the doorbell.Pound and Funk looked at each other questioningly. They didn't summon helpers other than the cook, but Funk stood by the door and opened the door without thinking much.

Outside the door, a young man about 25 years old, with a bearded face, but anxious expression.

When the young man saw Funk, he pointed and yelled, "You!!? You are that northerner, right!? Where did you take Mena!? Where is she!? You're going to let her go!!"

"Ah?" Funk was taken aback, and instinctively turned sideways to get out of the door.So did Pound.

In the next second, the strange man outside the door met Mena in the hall face to face.

At this time, the male was not afraid of the tall funk by the door, so he wanted to push people away and rush into the house.Pound watched the changes quietly and did not stop them.Because of the combination of anger and worry on the young man's face, matched with his limping and uncovered walking posture, Pound felt that the annoyance was quite real.

After entering the door, the young man scolded immediately. "Stupid woman! What are you doing here!? What did they do to you!? Did they bully you!? Don't be afraid!! Tell me something!! I, I will immediately go to the chief of the guard to protest!!"

On Mena's small face, there was panic besides surprise, "G-Ge-Ja...why are you here?"

"I should have asked this!? I have been waiting in the tent for a long time!! I thought something happened to you!! A familiar boss saw you being dragged by a northerner with a big sword on his back !!" While roaring furiously, the young man grabbed Mena's arm and looked up and down, "What did they do to you!? Ah!? It's okay if you say it!! Let's talk to the chief guard!! Let's go !!"

Said that the young man wanted to drag Mena out of the house, but Mena pressed the young man's hand and said soothingly, "I'm fine, Ge Ya. This northerner is my friend, remember what I told you? Funk It's him. I, I saw him outside, I was so happy, I forgot the time during this conversation... It's my fault, don't be angry?"

"I forgot the time while chatting!!?" The young man's expression became even worse after hearing this, "Can you do more stupid things!! Thanks to me, thanks to me..."

"Thank you for worrying about you so much!" ! 』

The second half of the sentence that was not spoken radiated from the young man.

Then Pang De interjected, "Mr. Ge Ya, excuse me, if you continue to curse people like that, it's not you who will save people next, but us. Miss Mena, is this really your companion?" , specifically added, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you say it, or we can talk to the chief guard."

The second half of the sentence completely imitated the young man's questioning just now, which made the young man's face turn green and white, but it also made him calm down a lot.

Mena smiled stiffly, and nodded quickly, "Yes, Mr. Geya is my teacher," after speaking, she took the initiative to hold the young man's arm, "I'm fine, let's go. I'm sorry for making the teacher so Look for me, isn't the teacher going to have a competition tomorrow?"

Then he bid farewell to the two of them in a hasty manner, and followed the irritable young man away.

Afterwards, Funk commented, although Mena's teacher didn't have any malicious intentions, she looked fierce, didn't she?

Pang De smiled and assured that the evil is the evil, he should like Mena quite a lot, and he is so worried about her.

After all, Mena originally called her by the name "Geya", not "Teacher" which she changed later.
