Gentleman's Night Canteen

In the case of being unable to attack by force, the opponent should also accept employment in order to collect information, right?

Emiya Shirou, who knows the future, can be said to have broken his heart for his adoptive father.

The communication between the two came to an abrupt end, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who had gathered enough information and was full of food and drink, was full of energy again, but before leaving, he did not forget to bow slightly to Lan Meng.

"Mr. Manager, today's dinner is very delicious, and thank you for your help."

Although the information he wanted has been collected almost, Emiya Kiritsugu still did not forget to check the favorability of Lanmeng before leaving, in his opinion, he has a good relationship with a mysterious and powerful person like Lanmeng Certainly not bad.

Lan Meng would naturally smile at this.

"It's best if you are satisfied with the guests~Welcome to your next visit~"

"Will do."

After finishing speaking, Emiya Kiritsugu stopped talking nonsense and turned around, opened the shop door and prepared to leave.

At the same time, Emiya Shiro also looked at Lan Meng and nodded slightly towards Lan Meng.

Lan Meng knew that the other party was going to help him 'test'.

He really wanted to persuade the other party not to take risks, but the other party's eyes told Lan Meng that he couldn't persuade the other party at all, so he just nodded towards the other party to show encouragement.

Putting up his index finger and middle finger and waving lightly beside his head to signal goodbye later, Emiya Shirou followed Emiya Kiritsugu and left the restaurant.

It is self-evident that Emiya Shirou felt nervous when walking towards the gate, after all, this is a step through time.

"Crack~"

Emiya Shirou was completely relieved until he stepped through the gate and came to this familiar yet unfamiliar street.

But Emiya Kiritsugu who was walking in front frowned slightly looking at Emiya Shirou behind him.

Fortunately, Emiya Shirou didn't bother, he just nodded towards him and then jumped to the top of the house next to him, and then disappeared in front of his eyes.

And looking at the disappearing Emiya Shirou, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help making complaints in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of local managers with such a high profile?"

Would Emiya Shirou not know what Emiya Kiritsugu knew?

No, of course he knew.

It's just because he can't hide what he needs to do next, so there is no need to waste time.

As a magician and active in the Middle East as a mercenary, Emiya Shirou has not been hunted down by the clock tower except because of Tohsaka Rin's help, but also because he has never exposed himself to ordinary people. .

But not being exposed does not mean that he has not used it. For example, this kind of enhanced magic that does not require any other auxiliary measures and only needs to activate the magic circuit was created by him in the rain of countless bullets.

Although there were some differences between the terrain and his memory, fortunately, he quickly found the Dongmu Bridge as a landmark.

Standing on the top of the bridge and looking down at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes around him, he took a deep breath and set off again.

In a hurry, he finally came to a building.

Looking at the magnificent but decayed annex in front of him, Emiya Shiro didn't say anything nonsense, he just saw his right hand holding his hands empty, and then he saw a longbow appearing in his hand, and at the same time, his left hand held the bowstring, and instantly a black long bow appeared. The bow turned into a full moon, and at the same time, a long spiral sword was placed on the bow.

"call out!!"

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by the whistling sound like a mournful cry, the arrow shot out and pointed directly at the annex in the distance.

But at the moment when it was about to hit the annex, an eggshell-like membrane instantly rose to block the annex.

But how could Emiya Shirou's angry blow be so easy to resist?

The stalemate was only for a moment, and the eggshell-like film was instantly shattered, and with the terrifying roar, a house in the annex instantly turned into ruins.

At the same time, a figure also walked out of the other hall.

At the same time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded.

"Who are you, why did you attack the old man's house?"

Looking at the crooked old man with both hands on crutches in front of him, Emiya Shirou's calm expression changed for the first time.

It seems to be reminiscence, some seem to be sad, but in the end it turns into firmness.

Seeing Emiya Shirou suddenly put away the longbow in his hand, Matou Zouken narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling whether he had ever met someone similar to him or caused any trouble, but it was a pity that he seemed to be confused. One thing was wrong.

The reason Emiya Shirou put away his longbow was not because he intended to communicate.

I saw his hands clasped empty, this time what appeared in his hands was no longer a longbow but two daggers, one black and one white.

At the same time, Emiya Shirou's cold and hoarse voice sounded.

"Debt collection———"

Chapter 34 Avalon Has Been Thieved? (7/8)

As Emiya Kiritsugu and Emiya Shirou left together, the store regained its initial calm, but Merlin's expression on Lan Meng was a little subtle.

Although Merlin still didn't believe what Arturia said before that 'after eating Lanmeng's cooking, he felt that the technique was shaken', but he was certain that Lanmeng was definitely not an ordinary person.

Emiya Kiritsugu was okay, although the opponent's attitude was a little cold, but he didn't feel any threat from the opponent, but Emiya Shirou faintly exuded a strange aura.

She didn't know the specific strength of the opponent, Merlin, but at least he wasn't too weak, but it was enough for such a person to still respect Lan Meng to see that Lan Meng was extraordinary.

Then he couldn't help but began to worry whether Lan Meng's existence was a blessing or a curse.

But when he was worried about the future, he heard Artoria's expectant voice from beside him.

"Lanmeng! When will the food be served?"

It wasn't until then that Lan Meng realized that Artoria and the others didn't come here to be a referee for him, so he also hurriedly opened his mouth.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

After speaking, Lan Meng trotted back to the kitchen before he could check the rewards.

Anyway, the rewards won't run away, so let's talk about the customers first.

Seeing Arturia's slightly expectant expression, Merlin finally shook his head and decided not to think too much.

At least for now, the existence of Blue Dream is a good thing for Artoria, not to mention that the other party has already embarked on the path of the other party's destiny at this time, all he needs to do is to stand silently behind the other party and support her. She... that's all.

While thinking about it, Merlin showed his signature smile again and waited for Lan Meng's food.

In the end, Arturia tasted more than a dozen dishes in a row before she was satisfied and said that she could finally have a good sleep.

In this regard, Lan Meng is not only thankful that he has prepared sufficient ingredients this time, but also has a growing desire for the supply channels of ingredients.

Although the previous berries were good, but the daily quantity was just a drop in the bucket, and he needed more ingredients! !

But when the two were about to pay and leave, something unexpected happened.

First of all, when paying for the meal, Artoria seemed extremely nervous when the number reported by Lan Meng. It was obvious that she had forgotten the expenses before.

In fact, not only Artoria, but even Merlin was a little nervous.

The dishes made by Lan Meng are not only very delicious, but also contain many ingredients that he has never eaten before, and there are novel ways of making them. In his opinion, they should be very valuable, but he did not expect What's more, the number reported by Lan Meng is far smaller than the number he estimated.

But what Lan Meng said next was somewhat beyond Merlin's expectations.

"By the way, Al, did you say that you often go out on adventures?"

"That's right! Before, I had an adventure with my brother-in-law and my teacher..."

When it comes to adventure, Artoria is clearly in high spirits, but soon feels a little lost again, because that has completely become a thing of the past, and now, as King Camelot, she may no longer be able to come back like before. A trip that goes away.

But then she perked up.

"Is there anything I need help with?"

Although Artoria's strength is not bad, she was just an ordinary knight before, at most she was stronger than other knights, that is, after pulling out the "Sword in the Stone" before, she borrowed the power of the fairy in the lake The special power belonging to the Pandaragon family in her body was activated, so she naturally didn't notice the abnormality of Lanmeng like Merlin.

She simply thought that since Lan Meng lived near the castle, she was her subject, so as a king, she had to help Lan Meng solve her problems.

"It's not really a help. In fact, I accidentally got a very delicious fruit recently. It doesn't look like an ordinary fruit, so I want to ask Al if you have seen it during your adventure. , wait... let me show you."

After speaking, Lan Meng got up and returned to the kitchen, pretending to take out the 'Avalon Apple' from the kitchen.

When she saw the apple in Lan Meng's hand, Artoria couldn't help showing a puzzled expression. It was obvious to her that it was just an ordinary apple.

Maybe you can feel the difference after tasting it, but it's a pity that Lan Meng only has this one, even Al, who has a good relationship, can't give it directly to the other party.

Arturia was confused, but Merlin's pupils shrank slightly.

Because he is familiar with this apple!

He often eats it in Avalon!

But the question is... why did Avalon's apple appear in Lanmeng's hands?

Could it be that the other party has a way to enter Avalon?

This kind of thought had already appeared in Merlin's mind, and Merlin unconsciously became nervous, but fortunately, he calmed down quickly. If Lan Meng really had the ability to sneak into Avalon, then there was no need to reveal it to them.

Then the most reasonable explanation should be that Lan Meng got this apple by accident.

"Mr. Store Manager, this apple is a special product of my 'hometown', right? But it should be rare outside. I'm a little curious about how you got it..."

Faced with Merlin's question, Lan Meng shook her head in embarrassment.

"Mr. Merlin, you are Al's teacher, and I won't lie to you. I can't explain the origin, but it is indeed an accident. This kind of apple is better than any apple I have eaten before, so I hope to be able to Get some to make food, of course it would be better if it can be planted directly."

Lan Meng's answer obviously didn't satisfy Merlin, but Lan Meng's attitude at least showed that his relationship as a cook and his disciple who was a foodie was pretty good, but what Lan Meng said later made him a little dumbfounded.

It's not that he was stingy in telling Lan Meng how to grow apples, anyway, he doesn't rely on growing apples for a living, but because this kind of apple itself is very common, but because it grows in Avalon, its growth does not rely on normal nutrients at all. It is the special magic of the fairies in the lake inside Avalon.

It is simply impossible to reproduce without the help of the Fairy of the Lake.

But it's definitely impossible to say that, after all, things about 'Avalon' can't be known to ordinary people, he spoke again after deliberating.

"There is nothing that cannot be said. In fact, apple seeds are very common, but my hometown is rather special, which makes their growth environment more special. If you want to cultivate them yourself, Mr. Store Manager, it may be more difficult... But as a store As long as you tell me this news in return, I can ask 'home' to send some apples to you."

Lan Meng was obviously disappointed when the planting conditions were special, but what Mei Lin said made Lan Meng's eyes shine...

Chapter 35 Merlin, you don't want Al to be hungry, do you? (8/8)

"Mr. Merlin, regarding the apples from your hometown, I wonder if you have any channels to buy them..."

As soon as Lan Meng's words came out of his mouth, Merlin couldn't help being stunned. He never dreamed that Lan Meng would actually take a fancy to Avalon's apple.

Although there are a lot of these things in Avalon, after all, the fairies in the lake do not need a normal diet. The reason why they eat more is simply to satisfy their appetite. Of course, some apples are eaten by animals in Avalon However, most of them fell directly on the ground and rotted directly to be used as nourishment for other living beings.

Since most of them are wasted, it is not impossible to give Lan Meng some. This kind of problem belongs to the standard.

Those without channels can only stare blankly like Lan Meng, while those with channels like Merlin can take whatever they want.

But the problem is how could Merlin, the majestic magician, do such a thing...

Just when Merlin was about to refuse, Lan Meng's words caught him unconsciously.

"Of course as a reward, in the future, when Al comes to the store, I will provide them at the cost price of the ingredients, and no labor costs. Not only that, but Al's meal expenses can also be paid with apples. What do you want?"

Money is meaningless to Merlin. With the various techniques he has mastered, it should not be too easy to make money, but the problem is that there is a difference between being able to earn it and spending energy to earn it.

Although Altria's price for a meal was far lower than Merlin's psychological price, it was definitely not cheap. Even after a discount, it was far more than the normal cost of a meal for several knights.

You must know that the blood in Al's body has just been activated, and as time goes by, her strength is getting stronger and her appetite is getting bigger and bigger...

It’s okay if it’s just a couple of occasional meals, but if Al really has nothing to do to patronize, then I’m afraid it won’t be long before the national treasury will be emptied by the other party, right?

Of course, he doesn't have to come to Lanmeng's shop. In fact, based on his understanding of the other party, he doesn't mind even if he eats black bread every day, but the question is, can he bear to watch him eat black bread every day?

Don't look at him being serious all day long, but in fact he hugged Artoria when she was born. To him, Artoria is the child who really watched him grow up, and in his eyes, he has nothing to do with his own child. On the other hand, it can even be said that Arturia's existence made him more like a 'human'.

If there is no way, then there is nothing to do, but at this time, there is obviously an easy way to solve everything...

For some reason, the smile on Merlin's face became more sincere.

"Although it's more troublesome to transport, but since the conditions you gave are so sincere, Mr. Store Manager, then I won't shirk, leave it to me!"

Merlin agreed to Lan Meng's request with a smile on his face, while secretly persuading himself to look away.

"The Fairy of the Lake asked me to watch Al grow up. I went to the Avalon House to get some apples because of Al. The Fairy of the Lake will not be angry, right?After all, this is for Carmelo's treasury...'

At the same time, the smile on Lan Meng's face became brighter after receiving Merlin's guarantee.

After all, ordinary ingredients can be bought with money, but special ingredients may not be able to buy even if they have money. After all, he lacks purchase channels.

Now that he has actually negotiated a deal without relying on the system, one can imagine the joy in his heart.

After the two agreed on a time to carry out the transaction, the satisfied Arturia and the smiling Merlin left together. As for Lan Meng, he was relieved and could finally check his "harvest".

It's just that before Lan Meng could sit down, a gust of wind chimes came again.
