Magus Tech Chapter 207: I won’t eat a single bite of oranges, I will leave them to you, as long as you are happy
Macbeth returned after a while, and what he bought was not the oranges that Richard was worried about, but horses—the reins of the four horses were in Macbeth's hands.
Walking in front of Richard, Nancy, and Raymond, Macbeth asked aloud: "Don't tell me, if any of you three can't ride a horse, then I will tie him to the horse. "
The three of Li Cha shook their heads at the same time and answered.
"Everything?" Macbeth raised his eyebrows and nodded in satisfaction, "That would be the best."
While talking, Macbeth handed over the reins of the horse to the hands of Li Cha and the three of them, and led the three of them forward. He thought of something while walking, and said in a voice: "By the way, if you When answering the question of this islander, it is best not to nod or shake your head. If you really want to answer, you should also change the meaning of nodding and shaking your head.”
"Huh?"
"This is because people on this island mean the opposite of nodding and shaking their heads—to them, nodding means 'no' and shaking your head means 'yes'. Don’t ask me why this is happening, I don’t know either. This world is so big, all kinds of weirdness will exist.”
"Amount..." Many people nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.
A group of people talked like this, walked out of the port, got on their horses under the leadership of Macbeth, and galloped towards the depths of the island.
"Da da da..."
……
It is said to be an island, but in fact the entire "Lisburn" island is not as big as an island, but more like a small piece of land. Everyone ran wildly for a day, traveled hundreds of miles, and changed several batches of horses in succession. In the middle of the night, I reached the island, the border between one country and another.
There are not many troops standing guard on the border, but there are a large number of outposts.
At this time, a hundred meters away in front of everyone, there is an outpost stuck on the only way to pass through a valley.
The outline of the outpost in the night looks like a lighthouse, but it is much shorter, just a simple two-story. At this time, the top floor was shining with light, and there were faint sounds of soldiers patrolling and talking.
"Lord Macbeth, are we going to pass like this?" Nancy looked at Macbeth and asked in a low voice, "Will you not be checked?"
"Well——" Macbeth stopped his horse on the spot and stared at the outpost, frowned, and said in a low voice, "The inspection will definitely be carried out, and the country we are going to has always had strict entry management. Originally, I was thinking of entering from its weak border - when I came last time, there was no outpost here, who knew that a new one would be built so quickly."
As Macbeth spoke, his gaze sharpened a little, and he looked at Richard, Nancy, and Raymond and said, "But it's okay, I'll go and get rid of them. And...you stay here, don't move around. "
"Ah." Nancy and Raymond replied.
Li Cha is: "..."
Macbeth didn't notice the strange expression on Li Cha's face, so he rode quickly towards the front and approached the outpost.
In the darkness, Li Cha, Nancy, and Raymond soon heard the scolding from the sentry: "Who is it? Do you have a pass? Dismount and accept inspection, or..."
"Ah!"
Soon, the scolding of the sentries turned into screams.
The next moment, the sound of a large number of sentinels gathering sounded.
"There are enemies!"
"Enemy Attack!"
"Alert!"
"Attack!"
Then...
"Ahhhh!"
There were screams, and the whole night seemed to be boiling, but it quickly returned to silence.
"Da da da", the sound of horseshoes sounded, Macbeth rode his horse back from the night, and walked in front of the crowd without any blood on his body.
While wiping his hands with a clean white handkerchief, he said to everyone: "Okay, now the outpost no longer exists, we can go."
"Amount..."
Macbeth pulled the rein of the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the direction blocked by the post. Li Cha, Nancy and Raymond quickly followed.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was dusk the next day.
Under the last ray of sunshine in the sky, Macbeth led Richard and the others to a bustling city, and then dismounted in front of an inn.
Giving the horse to the innkeeper, Macbeth led the way into the inn—the Kumquat Inn.
The new buddy ran up to greet him, but Macbeth didn't have much trouble, he spilled a lot of money, and gave a quick order, the buddy responded like a chicken, and then trotted to prepare.
Not long after, Macbeth took Li Cha and the three of them to sit around a large table in the corner. The table was filled with sumptuous food: fat capon, smoked duck with black sauce, fresh stewed meat with vegetables, Cooked slightly whitish beans, milky mushroom soup like milk, some hard but wheat-flavored, freshly baked bread...
It seems to be to show the characteristics of the inn. In the center of the table, there is also a bowl of fruit—oranges—in a sense, the oranges that Macbeth has always wanted to buy.
But the oranges did not appear in their normal form, but were cooked after being peeled.
Yes, cooked, with salt and a little spice sprinkled inside.
In the current world similar to the Middle Ages, in the eyes of most people, fruit is a metaphysical "cool food". If you eat it raw, you will get sick, and you must boil, roast or cook it in other ways before eating.
Therefore, the fruit of oranges finally presents a viscous, orange-yellow pulp in the pot-it has been cooked.
Li Cha's appetite, which was not bad at first, dropped by 30% out of thin air when he saw oranges in this form. Although he hadn't tried it himself, Li Cha had known the taste of this kind of thing for a long time, so he didn't touch the huge spoon in the orange bowl at all.
It was the first time for Nancy and Raymond to see this kind of food. They were a little curious to try it, and then showed distorted and weird expressions.
With a "gudong", the two swallowed the oranges in their mouths and began to gulp down the mushroom soup, after which they did not dare to eat indiscriminately.
Macbeth couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the appearance of the two of them, but he picked up the big spoon and unceremoniously scooped half of the marmalade into his own dinner plate, and then used the small spoon to keep pointing towards it. Send it to ~IndoMTL.com~ with a feeling of enjoyment on his face.
Nancy is speechless: "..."
Lei Meng felt admiration in his heart: Mr. Wizard is different, even the taste is so...heavy.
Li Cha's eyes flickered, and he said lightly in his heart: I promise not to eat any of these oranges, I will leave them to you, eat slowly, as long as you are happy...
Well, just be happy.
……
Dinner continues.
It must be admitted that except for the oranges, the rest of the food is pretty good, even if the taste is a bit weird, but it is above the level and it will not be difficult to swallow—Macbeth, as a wizard, is now disguised as a A nobleman, not short of money at all, ordered the best food in the hotel - if they couldn't eat it like this, then the rest of the guests in the hotel lobby would have turned their tables and cursed.
"Zizi..."
"Tsk tsk..."
Accompanied by the sound of teeth gnashing and lips touching, the food on the table decreased rapidly, and the dinner came to the end.
Nancy was almost full, she took a sip of the milky white mushroom soup, looked at Macbeth who was still eating orange marmalade in the corner, and said, "Lord Macbeth, there is something I want Ask you."
"Huh?" Macbeth said while eating orange marmalade, and he seemed easy to talk at this time, "Speak."
"That's..." Nancy lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "What are we following you here for?"
After saying this, Richard and Raymond also looked at Macbeth, obviously wanting to get an answer.
Macbeth's eyebrows moved slightly.
