The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1774: Friends with food

Views:

Dinner starts at seven o'clock.

However, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the Wharton family's carriage appeared outside the inn 'Carrot'.

Still the well-dressed attendant.

The other party walked upstairs under the gaze of old Hank who had just sobered up.

204 is Qin Ran's room number.

The attendant raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Lord Colin?"

"I'm here to pick you up."

The servant said respectfully.

"OK, wait."

Qin Ran's voice came through the door, and the servants of the Wharton family immediately stood with their hands down, waiting quietly, without any impatience on their faces, maintaining a smile and peace.

The self-cultivation of the big family is fully reflected at this time.

About three minutes later, Qin Ran opened the door and walked out.

"Good afternoon, Sir Colin."

The attendants greeted respectfully.

"Hello."

Qin Ran nodded in response.

And in his mind, he was still thinking about the information that Holleika just sent.

The 'instigator' really exceeded his expectations.

However, he doesn't mind 'cooperating' a bit.

The 'Secret Order of Quiet Night' has been in Altantino for too long, and its influence is too deep. If he doesn't mess it up, he will have no chance at all, let alone find the key point of the 'Broker''s layout.

"Sir, can we go?"

asked the squire.

"certainly."

Qin Ran nodded, and the attendant immediately walked ahead and led the way.

When they reached the first floor, Old Hank waved at the bar.

"I don't close the door here at night, Little Hank will stay here."

Old Hank said with a smile.

It has to be said that the previous drink with Bohr made the relationship between the two sides familiar.

Qin Ran nodded and responded.

Continue to follow behind the attendant, walk out of the 'radish' inn, and saw a black carriage.

The black is the paint, not the color of the wood.

The windows are glass, and now there are white silk cloth as curtains.

The carriage is a large four-wheeled carriage, the driver sits in front, and kerosene lamps are hung on both sides. It is in the afternoon at this moment, and they are not lit.

Qin Ran glanced at the coachman, he was strong and burly, with slender pens, and the hand holding the rein had a thick callus on the tiger's mouth, obviously he was a good swordsman.

Looking down, the box-like chair sitting under the other party undoubtedly contained weapons.

Then, Kieran looked at the carriage.

Although the silk curtains were hung, the people inside had no intention of hiding. The next moment, the curtains were lifted.

Kool Wharton!

After changing his uniform, the young man in knight uniform pushed open the car door without waiting for the attendant, and made an inviting gesture to Qin Ran.

"Welcome, my most honored guest tonight."

As Qin Ran boarded the carriage, the young noble said this.

Then, the attendant sat next to the coachman, and as the coachman flicked the reins, the carriage started slowly again.

At the same time, the young noble took out another bag of sweets.

"It's still produced by 'Snowy Owl Candy House'."

"Made from cocoa beans, it's a bit bitter at first, but afterward it tastes great."

The young noble handed the candy to Qin Ran.

"Thanks."

Qin Ran didn't refuse, just took it and thanked him.

Seeing Qin Ran's face that changed from indifference to slightly softer, Cole Wharton was slightly relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

Qin Ran's kind reminder earlier made this young nobleman realize the difference in Qin Ran.

Because of this, he invited the other party to the banquet tonight.

Of course, it is also to repay the other party's life-saving grace.

Just saying 'thank you' is not enough to repay the other party.

However, seeing Qin Ran's expression at this moment, let him once again confirm Qin Ran's love for food, the young nobleman is in a good mood.

After seeing Qin Ran open the package and eat a new product from 'Snowy Owl Candy House', he couldn't wait to ask.

"How is the taste?"

"The bitterness is moderate, the sweetness is just right, not bad."

Qin Ran gave a fair evaluation.

Same evaluation as myself!

Such an answer made the eyes of the young noble light up. Then, he took out various candies and snacks from the food box in the carriage to share with Qin Ran.

There are both soft candies and hard candies.

There are both milk pudding and chiffon cake.

The cheesecake among them made Kieran express its deliciousness.

Apart from being asked about his after-eating experience from time to time, Qin Ran really felt that this was a good afternoon.

Similarly, Cole Wharton thinks so too.

He never imagined that there would be someone who loved food as much as he did.

In the past, when he recommended it to his colleagues, those close friends always refused.

'As a knight, one should not be blinded by appetite! '

'A tough heart needs restraint! '

'Sweet, far less bitter! '

A series of similar reasons made Kool Wharton, who wanted to share, very distressed.

Penance.

He doesn't mind.

fight.

He doesn't mind either.

combat.

He is also very happy.

So why not be able to eat better in life

Life is already so bitter, can't it be a little sweet

With such questioning in mind, the young noble received the maximum load of training every day.

Then…

Eating food quietly.

Especially sweets.

After training, it is really a pleasure to have a few mouthfuls.

Therefore, when meeting a powerful Qin Ran who likes delicious food, this young aristocrat is happy from the bottom of his heart.

The appearance of Qin Ran is enough to prove that one can become a strong person who loves food, and it will not be a drag. Otherwise, why is Qin Ran so strong at such a young age

As if he had found the best excuse to refute those colleagues, Cole Wharton couldn't help but congratulate himself.

How should we celebrate

Eat an Extra Slice of Creamy Strawberry Cake

Picking up a piece of strawberry cake covered with cream, Cole Wharton first pointed at the tip and took a small bite. When the tip of his tongue touched the deliciousness, the young noble opened his mouth directly. When he reached the maximum, he threw the rest of the cake into his mouth completely. His eyes couldn't help but narrowed under the deliciousness of the cake, and he just leaned against the cushion of the chair and let out a pleasant humming sound with his nose.

But immediately, he thought that this was not in line with his status, and it was even more rude.

Immediately, your young noble sits up straight.

He glanced at Qin Ran, and found that Qin Ran was completely immersed in the food, and when he didn't notice him, the young nobleman couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he was attracted by Kieran's posture of focusing on food, and his saliva was involuntarily secreted.

When the saliva filled his mouth, the young noble couldn't bear it anymore.

Today is a day to celebrate!

I will eat another piece!

No, two dollars!

Two slices of Strawberry Cream Cake are enough to show the celebratory nature!

Cole Wharton stretched out his hands, picked up two pieces of strawberry cream cake from left to right, and opened his mouth to bite off. From left to right, a double satisfaction began to pervade his face.

Suddenly, the tough lines became soft and soft.

Especially those eyes that were as sharp as a falcon, became like a pool of autumn water at this moment.

But the aquiline nose, which was originally comparable to his temperament, became extremely abrupt.

However, none of the two people present paid any attention to this.

Cole Wharton is completely immersed in food and cannot extricate himself.

Kieran

He looked at the... barbecue that Cole Wharton brought out from a hidden food box!

Not a cold roast.

It was the kind of steaming barbecue, as if it had just been taken off the charcoal fire, and in that hidden food box, there was no charcoal fire.

Occult

Qin Ran thought.

"That's a witchcraft I asked the wizard to arrange."

"In that food box, the freshness and temperature of the food can be kept to the maximum."

"Even after a week, it's still the same as freshly baked."

After seeing Qin Ran's guessing eyes looking at the food box, Cole Wharton took the initiative to explain. While explaining, the nobleman took out black pepper and other condiments, knives and forks from a food box.

Turning the seasoning jar, the black pepper was evenly sprinkled on the barbecue.

Cole Wharton couldn't wait to pick up a piece with a fork, imitating Qin Ran's appearance, without cutting it, he put it into his mouth.

It was a bit unaccustomed at first.

However, when the roast meat was completely stuffed into his mouth, the young nobleman's eyes lit up with the strange pleasure brought by chewing. He couldn't help it, and he took out another food box from another hidden food box. A roast.

Unlike the large slices that were previously cut from the beef shank.

This roast is a whole leg of lamb.

Thankfully, the roast leg of lamb came with two sticks.

Qin Ran raised his hand and grabbed one.

Cole Wharton still imitated Kieran's appearance and reached out to grab it.

Although this does not conform to the noble dining etiquette he has been subjected to.

But at this time, Cole Wharton couldn't care less.

From candy, snacks, cakes, to barbecue, it took just over half an hour, and Kool Wharton felt reborn.

Unfortunately, when the last bone was chewed and swallowed by Qin Ran, the young nobleman came back to his senses.

Me, what did I do

How could it eat up all my stock for a week

What should I do tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the days after that

Am I going to live a week as an ascetic

An aura called despair appeared on the young nobleman.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ran took the initiative to ask.

Kieran's impression of Kool Wharton who was able to share food with him in front of him improved a little.

If it's not a big deal, he's happy to help.

"These are my stocks for the week."

"The food I made in the military camp is very nutritious, but... unpalatable."

"And to make matters worse, the military camp I was in was semi-closed."

"I'm not allowed to leave except for weekly vacations."

Cole Wharton explained.

"So, you now need to fill those hidden spaces with food?"

"The dinner is at seven o'clock, and it's only five o'clock now. We have enough time to place an order in advance, and then, when you send me out of the dinner, go to these restaurants to pick up the corresponding food."

"Although you have invited the chefs of 'Snowy Owl Candy House', 'Elk Dessert Room' and 'Grizzly Bear Restaurant', but such a big Fort Atendino, I think there must be chefs of similar level?"

Qin Ran talked about the solution.

"Is this... okay?"

"Colin, don't you mind?"

Cole Wharton hesitated.

Because, in the eyes of the young nobleman, this once again violated his noble etiquette.

Take invited guests to shop for food.

It would be embarrassing if others found out.

"Of course I don't mind."

"I can't wait to know more restaurants that you recognize in Eitandine."

Qin Ran smiled kindly.

With a smile, there is a trace of anticipation.

Although the strength of the young noble in front of him is average, but the other party's tongue is very good, the restaurant he recognizes is naturally good.

He has already decided that after the other party leads the way, in the days to come, he will deliberately pick out a period of time to taste these foods every day.

Looking at Qin Ran's sincere smile.

Cole Wharton immediately tapped the car window and informed the driver who was going around the circle to change the route.

"Colin, did you know that?"

"The food gathering areas in Eitandino are all in the business district of the middle third ring road. Of course, I don't mean to belittle the common areas of the lower seventh ring road. There are also great food there."

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough time today."

Cole Wharton began to explain to Kieran where to go in the business district.

And at this time, because he was sweating profusely from eating, Kool Wharton had already opened the silk curtains, and the window was also opened a small crack, and the cool wind blowing in at this time gave him a sense of comfort. , also dispelled the smell of food in the compartment.

Kieran looked at the business district while listening to Cole Wharton's explanation.

It is different from ordinary people's attention to scenery and excitement.

Qin Ran subconsciously looked at every corner and shadow.

Then…

He saw Edson.

After quite sophisticated camouflage, Edson, who was squatting in a corner, seemed to be a lazy businessman, became alert after Kieran watched him. He didn't turn his head directly, but glanced around with the corner of his eyes.

Edson was stunned when he saw the carriage passing by the main road.

Why is that snake pie here

besides…

What is the smell of sweets, pastries, cakes, and barbecue wafting from the car

Goo, goo.

Smelling this smell, the former mad witcher couldn't help curling up again.

He is really hungry.

During decades of prison life, he has not even eaten a bite of normal food.

Most are starving.

Now that he was awake, it was even more for revenge, and he returned to the vicinity of the 'prison' without slack.

It is conceivable that food attracts Edson.

But he has to be patient.

There can be no relaxation.

Can…

Hunger affects stamina.

How about I go to the market behind to buy pancakes

The idea came to Edson's mind.

Then, I couldn't hold back anymore.

Just when he was about to stand up, he suddenly found a figure approaching him with a cautious and cautious attitude.

Edson immediately grasped the dagger vigilantly.

However, the next moment, his nose couldn't help but twitched a few times.

The other party smelled like fried chicken.
