People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Just smelling it makes people salivate and make them drool.

This taste made him nostalgic, as if he had gone back to the boiled shrimp he ate in the town in front of the Magic Academy. With just one bite, he could feel the firm yet elastic and tender texture, and the full, sweet juice. A mouth-filling feeling.

Paired with the delicious and slightly salty shrimp roe and crab roe, the taste is simply unforgettable.

"...Huh? Who are you? Are you okay? What are you looking at?"

"...I'll kill you carefully, get out of here."

His arrival seemed to disturb Brother Boiled Shrimp, and he immediately threw a series of impatient questions at him.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm just a traveler. I happened to smell a familiar aroma when I was passing by, so I came here looking for it. I'm sorry."

He didn't mention the necklace. He cared more about the pot of shrimp than the dispensable necklace.

I really want to eat.

"Oh? Traveler?"

Brother Boiled Shrimp looked him up and down through the thick helmet, "A faded person also claims to be a traveler? And if you want to lie to others, you must at least get rid of the smell of blood on your body first. I can smell it here." ."

Now it's embarrassing.

I didn't expect that my identity as a fader would be exposed so quickly.

However, what is the smell of blood that Brother Boiled Shrimp is talking about?

Obviously when it rained before, all the blood stains on the body were washed away.

"Forget it, it's none of my business who you are and what your purpose is, and I'm not interested in knowing."

After the shrimp cook glanced at him, he lowered his head again and paid attention to the situation in the pot.

"This pot is almost cooked. If you want it, you should show some sincerity, right?"

"It depends on the situation, maybe I'm willing to sell it to you."

"I can't eat so much by myself anyway."

"Really?! That would be great!"

Reinhardt felt happy when he heard this.

He hadn't eaten boiled shrimp for a long time, and just looking at it made him hungry.

I originally thought that I needed to waste a lot of time and even prepared to rob, but I didn't expect Brother Boiled Shrimp to be so generous and agreed.

However, if I bought it, I seem to remember that there were still some scattered runes left in the leather bag.

Thinking of this, he reached into the leather bag he carried with him and rummaged through it. He took out a few things similar to crystal nuclei and handed them over.

"Are these enough?"

"Ok?"

Brother Boiled Shrimp glanced at the crystal core glowing with pale golden light in his hand. The expression under his helmet was a bit astonished, and he subconsciously murmured: "So many?"

"Ah, these runes were collected during my previous trip to Nimgefu. If you want, I can give them all to you. Just sell me a few bowls of shrimp meat."

In fact, these rune crystals were not just collected occasionally during his journey, but many of them were in his leather bag before he fell asleep.

These runes are the blessings given by the golden tree to the residents of the border area.

It has been used as currency in the past. It is a hard currency circulating in border areas. It is somewhat similar to the spiritual stones in fantasy novels.

"You said you came from Nimgofu?"

"Well, that's right."

"hmmm...."

I don’t know why, but when it comes to Nimgefu cooking shrimp brother, something seems wrong, and there is a thinking look under the helmet, and he is looking at him again.

"...You gave me too much, I don't need so much, and I don't want to owe you any favors."

"So, that's enough."

Brother Boiled Shrimp suddenly stretched out his hand and selected the smallest one from the runes in his hand. Compared with the others, the light was a little dim.

"Okay, I've collected your money, so you sit aside and wait for a while. The shrimps will be served to you when they are cooked."

After saying that, the shrimp cook lowered his head again and concentrated on cooking the shrimp meat in the pot, stirring it around with a spoon.

Seeing this, Reinhard didn't say anything anymore. He wisely walked to the steps of the wooden house aside and sat down to wait.

However, what Brother Boiled Shrimp did just now made him a little surprised.

You must know that the rune that was just taken away was only a thousand dollars.

Buying a pot of shrimp meat with one thousand runes, it can be said that this transaction is very fair. Unexpectedly, this man is quite reasonable.

After a while, the shrimp cook came over with two bowls of shrimp meat and handed one of the wooden bowls into his hand.

"Here, here's your share. There's still more over there after you finish."

The steam rising from the bowl blinded his eyes, and he saw that the bowl was filled with shrimp meat that was as white as jade. On the other hand, there were only three or two big cats and kittens in the bowl where Brother Shrimp was cooked, which was pitiful.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Brother Boiled Shrimp gave him a symbolic urging, then grabbed the shrimp meat with his bare hands and ate it.

And he also imitated Brother Shrimp, grabbing a piece of hot shrimp with his bare hands and throwing it into his mouth.

"Ok!"

The moment he ate it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, it still tastes the same!

That familiar taste!

Immediately afterwards, he didn't care about the temperature in the bowl and stuffed the shrimps into his mouth one after another. This feeling was extremely happy.

It’s as if happiness opens the door to happiness, and happiness is at home.

Seeing him eating so happily, Brother Boiled Shrimp showed a slight smile under his mask.

"Ah, I am really satisfied..."

Soon, the shrimp meat was finished.

He patted his flat belly in contentment.

He ate all the large pot of shrimp meat, leaving only four bowls to bring to Melina and the others.

After all, eating alone is not a good behavior, not to mention how can you not share something so delicious?

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

Brother Boiled Shrimp held the empty bowl, with a bit of pride in his tone.

"Well, it's really delicious. It tastes exactly the same as what I had in Menqian Town of the Magic Academy."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be an expert... Yes, I learned how to cook shrimp at the market in front of Lucalia Magic Academy."

"Really? It's a pity that Menqian Town was burned down after the war between the stars and the moon, and everything ceased to exist... Your craftsmanship should be the only one in the border area now, right?"

Unconsciously, he and Brother Boiled Shrimp started chatting.

But Brother Boiled Shrimp looked at him with a surprised look and smiled: "No, don't you know? With the help of the Magic Academy, Menqian Town has been rebuilt, and its scale is even larger than before, and It’s more prosperous.”

"?!!!"

What happened? Menqian Town was actually rebuilt?

He seemed to have heard some terrible news.

"Don't be so surprised. Nowadays, Menqian Town is under the management of the Magic Academy. I'm afraid it's not as prosperous as Galid. It can even stabilize one end."

Brother Boiled Shrimp revealed his strange mouth habit again, but he didn't pay attention.

He cares more about the Magic Academy than this.

what happened?

Has the magic school transitioned?Actually vigorously develop people's livelihood? !

You know, those pyroxene magicians are a bunch of pedantic and arrogant guys, they look down on ordinary people at all, so how could they...

"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. I guess your next stop should be there."

As if he understood what he was thinking, Brother Boiled Shrimp said leisurely.

Then he couldn't help but look at the sky and sighed: "I used to be able to see the guidance of blessings, but now blessings have abandoned me again, and I can no longer see that golden guidance..."

"That's right. The fact that a little bastard like me can be guided here by a blessing is ridiculous."

"Maybe if we can't arrange these things, we'll be in trouble a long time ago... that's the golden tree."

Brother Boiled Shrimp's voice was full of self-deprecation.

He had always felt that it was a mistake to be blessed and guided.

As for why he would say so much to Reinhard, a stranger he met for the first time, it was just because Reinhard also liked shrimps.

He thinks people who like shrimps are not bad people.

Although Brother Zhu Xi has always called himself a gangster, it is rare to find such a pure person.

"...I don't agree with your statement. I think the people chosen to become faded ones should have the meaning of their existence, just like you."

Reinhardt reached out and patted Brother Boiled Shrimp on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "Perhaps the guidance of the golden tree is just to let you and me meet? Maybe it will allow people like us who like lobster meat to meet."

"Ah, yes, what you said makes sense, maybe it's true."

Hearing what he said, Brother Boiled Shrimp couldn't help but laugh, "I feel like you and I will get along very well."

"right."

It seems that Brother Boiled Shrimp has many stories.

It's a pity that he didn't have any wine and couldn't listen to the story.

The half bottle of pure wine in the leather bag would obviously be inappropriate if used in such an occasion.

The most important thing is that Nacui wine can only be drunk by demigods and gods. If ordinary people drink it, they will be so drunk that they can't wake up for several days, and they may even die of drunkenness.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to ask you. Do you know the little girl named Laya in the pavilion? I heard that you snatched her necklace?" Reinhardt asked tentatively.
