On the other side, Nok and the village chief had already sat down and chatted, while the village chief's daughter Lisanna was placing tableware and food for Nok.
Through a brief conversation, Nok learned the name of the village chief of Tarn Village.
Old Sean.
Yes, civilians only have first names, not surnames.
Some children even inherit their father's name. They just use titles like "Old Sean" and "Little Sean" to distinguish them.
The Kingdom of France is such a traditional country.
Only by becoming a noble were they eligible to receive a surname.
Obtaining a surname means that the family has a legacy.
Otherwise, Old Sean could have a lot. Those at the head of the village can call, and those at the end of the village can also call.
Calling over and over again, outsiders don't even know which "Old Sean" the son of "Little Sean" is.
"Come, Mr. Father, please don't dislike the simple food. Please use it with caution."
Old Sean invited Nok politely.
Nok praised politely: "No, I've been traveling all the time. When I'm traveling, it's hard to even eat hot food, let alone the delicious food in front of me. Only a girl like Lisanna, who is ingenious and ingenious, can Cook something so fragrant."
Nok's compliment made Lisanna next to her blush with embarrassment.
Leo, who was eating bread in the corner, almost spit out the food.
To be honest, the bread was probably frozen hard because of the delay on the road. As for the barbecue, it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which can only be described as passable, but the fragrant aroma is just nonsense!
But someone took it seriously.
The village chief smiled heartily and said: "Haha, I'm not bragging, my Lisanna is the most popular girl in the village. All the boys in the village are staring at her! If I hadn't been reluctant to let her go, I would have wanted her to stay with me longer. In a few years, I don’t even know which young man is cheaper.”
Nok looked at Lisanna, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and felt that the village chief's pride was not unreasonable.
There is no trace of the village chief on his delicate face, so he probably inherited more of his mother's excellent genes.
A few small freckles dotted her cheeks, which not only did not ruin the girl's appearance, but made her even more cute.
She's not a great beauty, but in a rural place like this, she's still an eye-catcher.
In terms of being popular with young men, the village chief is not bragging.
However, Nok, who has seen all kinds of wealthy daughters and tasted noble ladies, will not have any intentions towards this little girl.
Therefore, Nok was not interested in the village chief's move to stand up and promote his daughter.
He closed his eyes and began to say his pre-meal prayers.
"Thank you, the great Holy Lord, for giving us delicious food and filling our hunger. Amen!"
After praying, Nok picked up the bread on the table, broke it open with his hands, and dipped it into the soup poured out by Lisanna.
Yes, Nok's food had an extra bowl of steaming broth than Leo's.
"Oh, damn it. I actually forgot to ask Lisanna to fetch water for you, Father, to clean your hands! Lisanna, what are you doing here? Why don't you help the Father break the bread and feed it to the Father?"
The village chief held Nok's hand as if he was stunned, and then shouted to his daughter: "Quickly, help the priest cut some barbecue, and then feed the priest carefully. Otherwise, how can the priest eat if the food is dirty?"
"Father, please don't move. This is our mistake. Let the little girl serve you for dinner."
"Ahem!"
In the corner, Leo was choked, lowered his head and coughed wildly.
But the village chief turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't seen her. He stood up, pushed his daughter down, and sat next to Nok, almost pressing against Nok's body.
"Father Ryan, you're welcome. This was our mistake. Just think of it as our apology. Please give your daughter this chance, otherwise we will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Nok looked a little ugly looking at the other party's exaggerated performance.
It seems that someone has taken things a bit too far.
But he couldn't let the village chief stop coming. Whether he could settle down here still needed the help of the old man.
"Well, Village Chief Sean, there is no rush to eat. Why don't we have some wine and chat. I just want to find out the location of Mr. Baron's mansion so that I can pay him a visit tomorrow."
When Elder, who was pouring wine for several people, heard this, he looked at the tray with four glasses of wine in his hand, thought for a while, and carried it towards Nok's table.
"Father, please use it slowly."
Elder put down two glasses of wine and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the village chief grabbed his arm, took another glass of wine from the tray, and placed it in front of his daughter Lisanna.
"Since the priest doesn't want to eat now, why don't you let me have a drink with you, priest?"
As Murura spoke, he pushed Elder, who was in a daze, and motioned for him to leave.
Elder looked at the solitary glass of wine on the tray and could only return to the counter. He took three more glasses of wine from the barrel and put them on the tray. He carried four glasses of wine to Leo's table.
He put down the four glasses of wine, gave one to Leo, gave one to Faith, put another one in front of another empty seat, and then took one himself.
"Lord Knight, Eld pays tribute to you."
Leo looked at the wine glass handed to him, put down the barbecue in his hand, picked up the wine glass at hand, and clinked it towards Elder's wine glass.
"Cheers to your new friends!"
"new friend?"
Faith, who was holding the cup, was stunned, and her hands that wanted to clink the cups stopped.
He is just a villager who plows the fields or dries cow dung every day. Does a person like him deserve to be friends with the Lord Knight?
"boom!"
Leo touched Faith's wine glass gently, and then drank heavily.
"Gulu, Guru, Guru."
"Ha!" Leo drank a glass of ale in one breath and let out a heavy breath.
"Cool!"
Leo's actions finally made the two people in a daze react.
The two of them carefully put the wine glasses to their mouths and drank in small sips, not knowing whether to speak or not.
But at this moment, Leo spoke.
"I said you two are raising fish here! You can't even enjoy drinking, you act like a bitch! You really don't have enough friends!"
"Who are you talking about?" Elder, as a hunter in the village, couldn't bear the sarcasm. He immediately picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
But he forgot that he couldn't drink fast wine in a hurry.
"Pfft!"
A wine arrow sprayed onto the ground, and Elder coughed.
He choked, and if he hadn't turned around quickly, Leo's dinner would have been ruined.
"Hahaha! You say you can't do it and you still show off!"
Leo reached out and patted him on the back while making a good-natured laugh.
Faith watched this scene silently, a little unable to adapt to the fact that the noble knight actually talked and laughed with them without any pretense, and mingled with them.
Looking at Leo's smile, instead of feeling happy, Faith's body trembled with fear.
He remembered that when he was a child, the village was still the fiefdom of another knight. The knight also patted his father on the shoulder with a smile, and then while laughing, he drew his sword and stabbed his father to death.
The screaming mother rushed out of the crowd and threw herself on her father's body, but the master held his sword high and chopped off her mother's head.
If it weren't for the village aunt who tightly covered Faith's mouth and hugged him tightly.
I'm afraid Faith won't survive either.
Later, the lord was changed to the current Mr. Baron.
Although Mr. Baron has never killed any villagers, he has also severely whipped villagers who could not pay taxes when the village was dissatisfied with the taxes.
For this reason, the villager lay in bed for more than a month and almost died of high fever.
In the end, the whole village helped collect enough tax money to pay it.
Now, seeing Leo acting like the previous knight, he was really afraid that the knight in front of him would draw his sword and kill them all with a smile!
"Faith! Fais! What's wrong with you? Are you cold?"
A big hand pressed on Faith's shoulder, shaking Faith out of panic.
Faith's unfocused eyes refocused, but were startled by Lexa's big bearded face.
"Do not kill me!"
Faith threw away the wine glass in her hand in fear and squatted under the table with her head in her hands.
"boom!"
Zhi~
Leo saw the opportunity quickly and reached out to catch the flying wine glass for Lexa.
The wine was spilled on the table, and Leo's dinner was ultimately ruined.
"Are you OK!"
"Are you okay?"
Leo and Lexa cared about each other at the same time.
The two were slightly surprised by each other's synchronicity, and then laughed at the same time.
Leo smiled and said: "I'm sure everything is fine, but let's take a look at Faith. This young man seems to be frightened. Is there something dirty here? Impossible, our Father Ryan is sitting here! There shouldn't be anything dirty. You are so blind, come here to provoke our Father Ryan!"
Nok's table was originally attracted by the noise caused by Faith. Hearing Leo's words, Nok couldn't sit still.
"Okay, Leo, now is not the time to joke."
Nok stood up and walked towards Leo's table.
As soon as Nok left, the people at his table could no longer sit down, and the other three people quickly got up and followed.
Why is there one more person?
The extra person is the owner of the tavern, Makina.
She came down from upstairs with Lexa.
However, Lexa went to Leo's table, and after saying hello to Nok, she sat down and planned to chat with Nok and get acquainted with him.
As a host, if she doesn't understand her guests, how can she entertain them well and satisfy them?
I just didn't expect that something would happen to Feisi if he didn't sit firmly on his butt.
Nok came to Leo and others and separated from the people surrounding Faith.
"Give me a moment and let me take a look."
Seeing Nok's words, Lexa and Elder who were surrounding Faith quickly moved aside. Only Leo stood on the side between Faith and Nok intentionally or unintentionally, ready to take action at any time.
Leo has already figured out that this young man named Faith is not possessed by evil spirits.
Rather, like the recruits he saw when he was a recruit who survived serious injuries on the battlefield, they suffered from post-traumatic syndrome.
The difference is that soldiers suffer from the memory of fear of war because they cannot bear the cruel scenes on the battlefield and the huge fear they have when facing death. As long as you hear words such as war and killing, you will get sick.
But the young man in front of him has obviously never been on the battlefield.
So what is it about him that is so frightened and triggers his condition just by sitting?
Such people are at certain risks when they are sick.
In order to protect themselves, they will inexplicably attack all the creatures around them. Even if they are parents and brothers, they will attack without fail.
But after getting sick, they will hide in fear and dare not contact anyone.
They are a very pitiful and hateful group of people.
