Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 68 Dinner
Altaïr was busy in the kitchen.

The traditional food culture of Loen can be said to be quite barren, but for a long period of time after the 20-year war, initial cultural exchanges and integration between the native Loen and its colonies and other countries have been achieved, which fortunately included food part of culture.

Due to the tight schedule, Altaïr did not cook complicated Intis dishes, but chose the traditional smoked fish with Roon-style beetroot, served with fondant potatoes, lemon cream and pickled cucumbers.Of course, considering Sophie's hard work and growing body, he also prepared enough white bread and milk.

"You know, I think you are becoming more and more like a cook."

When Altaïr brought the pan-fried cod fillet as a side dish to the table, Venata said with half surprise and half admiration.

"Your compliments are really getting more and more unpleasant."

Altaïr brought the last course to the table, sat down at the table, and began the pre-dinner prayers as usual.

What a coincidence, the three people on this table believe in three different gods... Such a thought came to Altaïr's mind.He is a believer in the goddess, Venata believes in the goddess of the earth, and Sophie is a follower of the Lord of Storms like her father.

Well, in fact, it should be four gods. After all, I have already recited the honorable name of the "Fool", and I received a gift inexplicably... Altaïr's face turned bitter, but then he threw this idea out of his mind back.

If Sister Vespa is here, then there will be believers belonging to the five faiths at this dining table. I hope that those who believe in them will not have any conflicts when praying before the meal...

Altaïr was startled again, shocked by the disrespect of his thoughts to the gods, and quickly recited the goddess' honorable name in his heart several times.

Really, after experiencing so many high-level incidents, my sense of reverence for the gods is getting weaker and weaker day by day... I always feel that this is not a good thing.

Altaïr shook his head, at this time the three of them had finished their prayers and began to deal with the food in front of them.

"I read the letter just now, and Mr. Harris from the newspaper office told me that I passed the interview and let me start working at the Herald newspaper office on Wednesday. The letter also included a press card."

Venata was talking to Altaïr casually while sandwiching pickles with white bread.

"I don't understand, but is your reporter's recruitment process so fast?"

Altaïr asked curiously, it would be fine if she was the instigator, since she was a "provocateur", Altaïr thought it was a great success if she gave the interviewer the middle finger without entering the door.

"Of course I used some other means..." Venata said vaguely, "In short, the men who competed with me were not gentlemanly enough, so they were invited out by the security guards."

Since Sophie, an ordinary person, was at the table, she couldn't speak clearly, but Altaïr understood immediately.

It is estimated that Venata secretly "provoked" those competitors, caused them to quarrel, and involved herself, so that the interviewer, out of sympathy for her who was "innocently involved", and other people Because of this reason, she can only be hired.

"Although I know that based on your bachelor's level of Fusac National University, those competitors are not your opponents even if they compete normally, but is this a bit..."

Altaïr sighed.Having said that, it was the first time he had heard that "provocation" could be used like this.

"You also know that even if they compete normally, those guys can't compete with me. I'm just saving some unnecessary trouble."

Venata nonchalantly picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it to her mouth.After these few days of Altaïr's subtle influence, she also learned how to use these two small wooden sticks to pick up food, but the movements were still a bit clumsy.

"Besides, according to my experience in Feysac, in similar fields, some old stubborn people will have a certain degree of discrimination against women. For example, worrying about whether female reporters can go deep into the Eastern District, it's all for your safety or something. "

Venata curled her lips, then took a bite of the fish fillet.

"Where do they think I live, Queens or Hillston?" (Note: In the original work, Queens and Hillston are the two residential areas with the best conditions in Backlund West. land, the latter is where rich merchants gather.)
Altaïr nodded approvingly.

Although in Loen, which mainly believes in goddesses, women's status is more equal than men's, but there are still storm believers who think that women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.What's more, the aristocratic system formed by the eldest son inheritance system is deeply rooted in Ruen or other countries, and it is almost impossible for foreign women to break through this class.

"Yes, Sophie."

Altaïr reached out to help Sophie wipe off the lemon cream from the corner of her mouth, "Has Mr. Statham served in any legion of the kingdom before?"

"Well, Dad is amazing!" Sophie was obviously a little proud when mentioning her father, "It's just that the name of that regiment is too long, I can't remember it. He fought in the South before and won many medals, It's just that when the Feysacs came to the capital, he sold all those medals and exchanged them for black bread..."

As if she had thought of something, her emotions that had just risen collapsed like a punctured ball, and Altaïr quickly put a small piece of candied pineapple in her hands to comfort her.

Fighting in the south... Loen's southern legion.Altaïr nodded. "Augustus King's Southern Colony No. 30 Second Mixed Legion", because the name is too long, it is called "Southern Legion" or "Colonial Legion" for short.This legion composed of Loen natives is a rare elite unit in the Loen army, and it hasn't been too severely eroded by the military's nobles who buy gold-plated ranks.There are many veterans with more than ten years of military membership, and their combat effectiveness is quite outstanding.

Although Mr. Statham didn't say anything, judging from his injury, it seems that he was attacked by one of the bodyguards, probably the guy with the short stick. Otherwise, with his skill, he shouldn't be unable to deal with it Those guys.

Altaïr didn't speak any more, and began to concentrate on his share of smoked fish.Even though there was a fireplace in the house, this kind of grilled meat without soup still cooled quickly, so for the next period of time, the three of them ate very seriously, and no one spoke again.

After dinner, Altaïr asked Sophie to go to Venata's room to rest, and then beckoned to Venata to come to his room. He wanted to discuss with Venata about finding the "artisan".
