Chapter 192 The 7-String Harp Riot
In the end, Alvin didn't succeed, whether it was saving the gold coins or anything else.
Fortunately, the Harp restaurant was not as expensive as Alvin had imagined. Miss Xiling - now in Alvin's eyes, this was a real lady - ordered a large table of sumptuous dinner with one gold coin.
Having been trained to have no desires or requests in the druid station, even when visiting the orcs in the wasteland, they only served him black barbecue. Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, Ivan's eyes turned green.
This made Lian, who was standing next to her, look unhappy.
Every time I eat the cookies I make, I feel like a northern ground squirrel exercising its chewing muscles with a blank expression;
Now he looks like he hasn't eaten for decades, which is really irritating the half-elf.
The little girl's cheeks were bulging, full of food to vent her anger.
As a member of the foodie empire in his previous life, Alvin actually had a strong desire for delicious food.
When I first arrived at the Haze Forest, I was still thinking about relying on my memory and tinkering with some delicacies from my previous life to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.
Unfortunately, I am a guy who gives up as soon as I start to work. I waste a lot of ingredients and still can't make anything decent.
Later, after tasting the "local specialties" of the wasteland orcs and frost giants, Alvin has labeled the Prime Material Plane as a food desert.
until today……
"Zun...Zundu is so delicious..."
"Chew, chew, chew... shut up... chew, chew, chew..."
"Did you two miss lunch?"
Xiling looked at the two feeding machines, one large and one small, in front of her with a bit of helplessness. She lowered her head and fed small mouthfuls of food to the bottom of her hood.
We couldn’t see how he ate, but he was just passing food around faster and faster.
The clean restaurant, delicious food, and a harp band specially arranged in the hall as background music make it hard not to be happy in such a scene.
But just as the three were enjoying their meal in the restaurant, a team of fully armed soldiers rushed in, disrupting this rare joy.
"It's there!"
One of them pointed at Alvin, and then this group of soldiers, who looked different from the city guards, rushed over aggressively.
"Oh no! I forgot I'm still an exile here..."
Ivan swallowed a piece of calf liver in his mouth, and it was this action that delayed his opportunity to get up and escape.
"A strange tall cloaked man and a short half-elf, that's them..."
Two soldiers stepped forward, ready to reach out and control the two half-elf girls.
As a result, he was blocked in front of him by a not very tall and sturdy figure.
Xiling looked at Ivan who took the initiative to stand in front of her, and her heart was filled with strange waves again.
"Before, I was the only one who made the mistake in the temple. Why did you arrest them?"
The blocked soldier was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at the human who blocked him in confusion.
"You are suspected of being involved in the halfling rebellion in Nield Mine. What does this have to do with the temple?
Go away, go away. If you interfere with our law enforcement again, we will arrest you too!"
"Why do you arrest people for no reason?
Besides, look carefully, where is the shadow of the halfling here?"
The soldier in front pointed at Lian behind Ivan with an expression that said, "Isn't that right?"
Just when Alvin was speechless, footsteps were heard at the restaurant door.
Then, a woman wearing a long white dress and some metallic accessories walked in.
“This is the holy place where the goddess Lal is celebrated!
What could allow a law enforcement team to trespass into the sanctuary of a god?"
This woman, who doesn't look young but has a dignified manner and a pretty face, has a temperament unique to those in a superior position.
"Which department of law enforcement are you from? I haven't seen your badges before!"
As she said this, the lady's aura was fully released, causing the two soldiers in front of Ivan to unconsciously take two steps back.
"Ma'am, I, we are the law enforcement officers of the Textile Association's Industry Picket Committee..."
"A committee's enforcement team? Or an industry association's enforcement team?
Even the municipal law enforcement team cannot invade church assets without reason.
Who made you think you have more power than those legitimate troops?"
The woman in the white dress was obviously irritated by the other party, and the accessories on her body made a series of wind chime sounds as her chest rose and fell.
"Ma'am, it's Councillor Tomba..."
"Shut up!"
A soldier who looked like a captain hit the soldier who was speaking with his fist with a metal arm guard, leaving a dent in his helmet.
“Ma’am, we meant no offense.
It is indeed very rare that the suspect behind the Nield Mine riot has appeared, which is why we are so rash as to intrude into your church's territory.
We will evacuate now and will not cause you any more trouble."
After saying this, he waved his hand, and the soldiers who were originally ready to fight stopped their actions and filed out of the door.
"What a stupid politician..."
The woman in the white dress walked up to the three of them and performed a very complicated but beautiful gesture with one hand toward Xiling and Lian who had just stood up.
"Servant of the goddess of joy, Laer, priest of the Glorious Parish, Renata Deer salutes you all."
"Druid Xiling, servant of Mielikki, greets you."
Among the three, Xiling is the one who is most familiar with diplomatic rhetoric, and is now planning to act as a communicator with this woman who does not look like a simple priestess.
"Hmm... and this... the blasphemer of Lady Lal... Sir Ivan Norrisius..."
Hearing this, the other guests in the hall who were watching this farce all cast strange looks at Ivan.
Already sweating profusely, Alvin just wanted to find a place to hide.
Social death... It's really too social death...
“Although the goddess sent down an oracle not long ago, asking us to lift the accusation against you;
But from a personal point of view, I still cannot treat you very calmly, Sir."
……
Evan, who was kicked out of the Seven-Stringed Harp, endured the resentment from the short half-elf.
“It’s all your fault!
If you hadn't done what you did to Ms. Lal, I'd have finished my veal chops and caviar!"
As he spoke, he waved his little fist at Ivan viciously.
Maybe because she wasn't full, the short girl didn't have much strength in her attack.
Ignoring the gangster's excited punch from a certain loli, Alvin turned to look at Xiling and shrugged helplessly.
"Fortunately, the room and meal fees were refunded in the end, so I just thought of it as a free meal...
By the way, Xiling, shall we find another hotel now?"
Xiling, who was thinking about where to go to rest, noticed a series of rapidly approaching footsteps.
A human dressed as a city guard appeared beside him.
Because of the unpleasant experiences they had just had with other types of soldiers, Xiling and Lian were very cautious and reached for the weapons in their cloaks.
"Sir Awen, Sir Awen!"
The city guard did not wear his helmet, and apart from the long sword at his waist, the city guard's unique halberd was not in his hand.
"Oh? Huh? Are you here to arrest me again?"
Alvin jumped up and was about to escape, but he took a note handed to him by the other party, which made him give up his idea.
"Sir Awen, the Lord Mayor invites you to have a chat at his private residence tonight.
Please do come and enjoy yourself.”
