Zongman: A Story That Begins From The Wrong Place

"Mr. Bell, these two are Mr. Qi Shaoyun and Ms. Xing from the Hephaestus family." Hill first introduced Bell to him, and then explained in a slightly requesting tone.

"Because the Loki family returned from an expedition today, there are really too many customers in the store, and there is no vacancy for the time being. I wonder if I can make a table with you."

The white-haired boy on the table quickly put down the fork with the pasta stuck in it, then got up quickly, with a slightly flustered face with some soup on his face, he hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, of course!"

talking.

He stretched out his hand and dragged the dinner plate towards him, as if he was going to make room for Qi Shaoyun and Xing Duo.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bell."

Seeing that Bell didn't mind sharing the table with others, Hill showed an innocent and joyful smile on his face. He first arranged for Qi Shaoyun and Xing to sit down after thanking them, and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Sitting opposite the boy, Qi Shaoyun glanced at the cutting boards hanging on the wall, and casually ordered a table of dishes.

Compared with half a month ago, this table is not less luxurious.

When all the dishes were served, there was a whole table full, and Bell's plate was almost squeezed off the table.

Looking at the array of fragrant delicacies in front of him, the young man subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and immediately felt that the noodles on the plate were not fragrant.

Now the Hestia family is no longer as poor as it was at the beginning, and they can only rely on fried mashed potatoes with a little refined salt to wrap their stomachs every day.

But everyone who has experienced hunger is used to careful planning.

Therefore, in terms of food, Bell has always started from the perspective of economical benefits and large quantities, and has never been so profligate.

"As expected of one of the richest families in Orario, I'm afraid this meal will cost me a whole day..."

As soon as this idea came up in his mind, the young man heard the young man from the Hephaestus family facing him smile and say: "Mr. Bell, if you don't mind, let's eat together."

Bell was slightly dazed, and then became even more confused.

"Is he going to invite me to eat? But why?!"

With a cautious expression, he raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, Bell was puzzled.

"Qi, Mr. Qi, why did you invite me to dinner? This should be our first meeting..."

For the kindness of strangers, normal people will be somewhat wary.

However, Qi Shaoyun did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Mr. Bell, you should be a follower of the goddess Hestia."

Confused, but Bell nodded earnestly.

"Goddess Hestia is already a close friend of my family's Lord God, and I, who are both dependents, are just extending the friendship between the two Gods. Isn't this a normal thing?"

If you think about it this way, it seems that there is really no problem.

Thinking of the goddess Hephaestus, Bell reached out and touched the short knife behind his waist, which was made by the other party himself.

Sometimes the relationship between people is so simple, once an inexplicable relationship is formed, the distance will shrink instantly.

Bell raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and spoke shyly.

"That's so embarrassing..."

Seeing that the young man's guard against him had diminished, the corners of Qi Shaoyun's mouth raised slightly, and he picked up the chopsticks and took the initiative to pinch the flesh and bones of the other party's heel.

"After this meal, we will be friends."

Eat, eat more.

Only after eating well can you go down to the dungeon to fight monsters. Only when you continue to grow up in adversity, will Fu's mother love you more.

Then put the fast pork steak on Bell's plate, and then Qi Shaoyun began to destroy the delicacies on his own.

The Xing Chixiang next to her is a little reserved, but if you observe carefully, you will find that her speed is not slower than Qi Shaoyun at all.

Chew the food with the cheeks, and the speed at which the chopsticks pick up the food, fully explain what is called the ultimate Lv2 adventurer.

More than half of the food was wiped out like a storm, and a burst of laughter suddenly came from the round table in the middle of the tavern, which made the adventurers around the tables look sideways.

Seeing that it was the "violent wolf" of the Loki family, many people looked away tactfully. Of course, many people wanted to see why he laughed so much.

The three of Qi Shaoyun, who were immersed in eating, also attracted attention.

"Ray Fia, great job!"

"I heard that today you saved Hephaestus, a rookie who was dragging his feet. He is obviously weak to death, but he insisted on following the expedition team to jump on the 18th floor!"

"What an arrogant brat!"

"It's really a pity that I didn't see him being chased until he fled in embarrassment, and finally had to plead with the enemy to let him go, and the ecstatic expression after seeing Lei Fia again!"

"I heard that before the start of Rivera's melee, the kid ran away with his weak teammate who was panting at every turn. As a result, the two garbage were still trapped on the 17th floor."

"What's even more interesting is that they escaped the massacre because of this. I even suspect that they are actually the dependents of a certain god of luck!"

Speaking of which.

Bert seemed to have thought of something, and he raised his head and took a sip of his drink.

"It's said that not long ago, Aisi also rescued a lucky tomato kid."

"But that guy is even more rubbish. He was so scared that he ran away while screaming. It's really useless!"

"If these three weak chickens form a team, maybe they can break into the lower area with good luck."

"Hahaha!"

Unscrupulous laughter echoed throughout the tavern.

Since there are not many people who know the specific situation of Rivera, the adventurers in the store all listened to the excitement, and no one followed suit.

On the other hand, Lei Fia on the other side of the round table waved her hands again and again, explaining with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Actually, I didn't save them. Before I met them, they seemed to have escaped the pursuit of the enemy."

But at this time, the werewolf, who was already drunk, couldn't listen to other people's words, raised his head and took a sip of his drink, and continued to compose the truth of his hearsay.

"That must be the power of the enemy and Loki's family, so let him go!"

Only Lei Fia was present here at the time, and the others didn't know much, and they were more inclined to Bert's statement in comparison.

However, the three Lv6s, who were older and more experienced, did not fully believe what he said, and were more of their own guesses.

Riveria, who was sitting on the chair with her eyes closed, suddenly yelled at him, trying to stop him from continuing to go berserk.

"Enough is enough, Bert!"

"The Hephaestus family is an ally. You slander their members like this, which makes outsiders think about our Loki family."

As soon as the words fell, Bert slapped the table heavily.

While jumping onto the chair, the whole person propped up the table with both hands, glaring at Riveria fiercely.

"Huh? What's wrong with calling trash trash?!"

"Bert, are you drunk?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Finn, the head of the regiment, quickly resolved the conflict.

at the same time.

After hearing these words, Qi Shaoyun in the corner felt inexplicably complicated; it was not anger, but the embarrassment brought to him by the sense of sight.

This scene is no stranger to him.

In the original book, the werewolf Bert humiliated Bell. In the end, the young man could not bear the humiliation and chose the most useless way to escape from the tavern.

And now the protagonist has become himself, how interesting it is.

Compared with the humiliation he felt when Burt explained the facts in a harsh tone, Qi Shaoyun felt calmer at the moment.

Because what Burt said was not true.

On the 17th floor, he didn't rely on Lei Fia, an immature Lv4 demon Mage, who was only a knife in front of Revis, and at the same time, he didn't rely on the power of Loki's family.

If there were, it was the Hephaestus family.

It is not shameful to rely on the power of one's own family to retreat from the enemy, but one should be proud of it.

But the fact is that he did not rely on the Hephaestus family, but worked with Lyu to repel the enemy, and bought precious time for escaping Revis' pursuit.

This kind of strength is enough to walk in the middle of the maze, so he is not arrogant.

However, not everyone is as enlightened as he is.

When Qi Shaoyun turned back and prepared to continue working hard, the atmosphere at the dinner table was different.

Bell tightly clenched the knife and fork in both hands, his head was lowered, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Obviously, he should be very clear that he is the "tomato kid" in Burt's mouth; he hasn't broken out of the "abundant mistress" yet, that's because the other party is not mainly talking about him.

If it's just like this, Qi Shaoyun can continue to eat patiently, after all, Bell is just his shield.

However, the person next to him seemed to be affected as well, with repressed anger in his eyes, but more of a grievance in his heart.

His eyes were slightly red, as if he was about to cry.

Suddenly, the mood to eat was gone.

Withdrawing his hand stretched towards the center of the table, and putting down the tableware he was holding, Qi Shaoyun said in an angry and funny way: "I don't care about it myself, why are you still entangled."

With his small mouth shrunken, Xing felt aggrieved.

"Ming, we were allies not long ago, how could he say that about us, and the fact is not what he said."
