Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 54 The Unexpected Dinner

Stannis, who practiced the big sword for a day, returned to the castle exhausted. Sure enough, for a pure nerd like him, it was really too much for him to practice such a large amount of sword for the first time.

The knight commander who followed him along the way disappeared at some point, but he couldn't care less.

As soon as he returned to the castle, he couldn't wait to ask Cook to prepare food for him, but he remembered that he had already sent him to take the helper out to generate income, and there was no cook in the castle...

So the lord had no choice but to drag his hungry body to the kitchen to see what food residues were left. Now he was so hungry that he could gnaw off stones, such as stone-shaped black bread.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he found that there was already a person lying there.

It was Robert, who also looked starving.

Hearing someone come in, the guy lying on the table raised his head weakly.

"So it's the boss." Robert said disappointedly.

"Are you waiting for Cook too?" Stannis slumped down on a seat.

"Well, that guy has forgotten his job as a food seller. I really don't know why he was released. We have to solve the dinner by ourselves. It's too much!" Although he was clearly scolding the chef, he Actually teasing Stannis behind his back.

But the lord was too tired to argue with him, "You should have such enthusiasm for making money."

"Gulu~~" Robert didn't speak, but responded with his stomach.

"By the way, how did you collect the money at the gate of the mill today?" Stannis remembered this important matter again. Every night before, Bachelor Romon would hand over to him the usage fees received during the day on time, and then he would count them. It is stored in the treasury.

Robert straightened up with difficulty, untied a small cloth bag from his belt and threw it on the table, "No, this is the money I received today."

"Why is it just that!" Although he didn't count, he could tell with his eyes that his income today was at least half less than usual. Could it be that this kid was corrupt?

Facing his suspicious gaze, Robert quickly waved his hands to defend himself, "Boss, I am innocent, there is a reason for this little thing today!"

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"It was fine in the morning, but in the afternoon, two groups of people brought a lot of grain to grind the flour. One group came from Jalunbu Village in the east, and the other group came from RKZ Village in the west. As a result, they did not agree with each other. They all wanted to use the mill first. Then somehow, they started to scold each other, and then they started fighting. Boss, you didn’t see the scene at that time. Dozens of people were fighting each other over there. It was a spectacular scene.”

I didn't expect that there would be regional conflicts here, "Then what's next?" he asked.

"Of course I couldn't do it when I saw it. How could there be a fire at the gate of the heavy place? So I quickly closed the mill and went to persuade the fight. They got them all back." Stannis rubbed the back of his head distressedly, and now there was a big lump there.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be very interested in doing this?" Based on Stannis' understanding of him, he thought that when the two groups started fighting, Carrot would flee back to the castle in a flash.

"Of course," Robert said weakly, "After all, do I rely on it to earn my motivation to live now?"

Stannis agreed deeply, "Not bad, good job, I'll add a chicken leg to your dinner."

"Gulu~~" Upon hearing the chicken legs, Stannis' stomach groaned in spite of himself.

"By the way, where did the old man go?" Since Maester Romon was on vacation yesterday, he hasn't seen anyone for a whole day. Apart from the two cooks in the castle, he is the only one who can cook something, but he can go Where is it?
Robert rubbed his stomach, and gave him a strange look, "Isn't this a question knowingly, you gave him a vacation, where else can he go besides seeing his granddaughter?"

"Granddaughter, does the old man still have a granddaughter?" Stannis became interested in an instant, because in his memory, the son and daughter-in-law of Bachelor Romond were all infected and died in the great plague three years ago. What relatives.

"That's right, after all his son's family died, the old man went back to his hometown to pick up the only surviving granddaughter, and lived in our castle for a month or two. Boss, you should have met her a few times, how could you forget?" gone?"

Because there is no such girl's name as a keyword, it is difficult to search his brain encyclopedia.

"It doesn't matter." He waved his hand to cover it, "Then where is his granddaughter now, and why did he go out to see her for a day?"

Robert rubbed his chin and thought about it seriously, "I remember being sent to the Academy City by the old man to let her study to become a bachelor. I heard that she is now a very beautiful girl. You know, all suffocated nerds, and there's no end to the list of people chasing her, from wearing diapers to fast-forward to the grave."

"Can women be maesters?" Stannis wondered.

"Of course you can, but it seems that it is much more difficult for women to enter the academy than men, so the ratio is about one hundred to one."

Oh, then it's easy to understand why there are so many people chasing her.

When he wanted to ask where the school city was again, Robert was already fussing impatiently, "Oh, boss, aren't you hungry after talking so much! If you can't eat any more, I'm going to beat someone up!"

Stannis thought about it too, "Then let's go to Cook's food stall to see if there is anything else to eat."

After speaking, he stood up, but Robert was very reluctant, because it meant walking another 600 meters, and he was so hungry that he couldn't even take a step.

"Besides, when did we eat other people's leftovers, boss, you have changed, how come the days when we used to feast and feast, spend money like water, and have fun recklessly are gone forever! Sometimes I really doubt that you have changed. "Robert seemed to have finally doubted Stannis' true identity a little bit, after his vital interests were damaged.

Stannis' heart was beating wildly, and he was thinking of countermeasures in his fast mind, "That's because I've got my head! I decided not to spend my life like this."

Robert obviously didn't believe his lie, and the sly fellow roved Stannis back and forth with a look that was almost suspicious at one point and also filled with disgust.

The time traveler was terrified by him.

At this moment, a familiar sweet female voice sounded from outside the kitchen door, saving him from the predicament.

"Excuse me, is anyone in there?"

It was Luka's voice.
