【Chapter 196】Unless you control what you eat
"Lord Leah."
He galloped back to Blackstone Castle, and came to the hunter's door. The guards in charge of guarding him saluted respectfully.
"Is she awake?"
"Wake." The guard's expression was strange: "Eating."
"Is it Liya?"
The hunter's hearing was extremely sensitive. Liya put the whole cloak and pushed the door down. In the room with a slightly dim light, the hunter sat at the table, holding a large piece of bacon in his hand, and was biting hard, with a very rough and bold appearance.
"Are you better?" Liya smiled and closed the door.
"It's much better after eating some things." The hunter chewed the shredded meat all over his mouth. Seeing that Riya looked at her with his eyes, he couldn't help laughing happily: "Don't laugh at me. When he was in the Colosseum, if he snatched slowly and ate slowly, he would starve to death."
"It's okay." Leah shook her head: "I'm looking at your complexion, it's really rosy. Well, eat it, just eat it."
"Huh..." The hunter swallowed the meat, picked up the big wine glass and drank the wine, wiped his mouth, and burped it: "I haven't drunk a long time ago, I really miss it."
"These wines are a little sour." Leah smiled embarrassedly: "We don't have a wine estate, and these have been stored for a little longer."
"Thank you, Liya. This is already very good." The hunter had a bitter face: "In the past, wine and ale were only allowed to drink when you win. The taste was worse than this, but I felt very satisfied."
“Everything will be fine.”
Liya was thinking about how to keep her, but the hunter suddenly stood up and smiled: "I'm leaving, Liya."
"Go? Where to go?" Lea was shocked.
"Jungle, the jungle is where I should stay." The hunter nodded and pulled a hemp rope, tied his head with green hair on the back of his head, looking very chic: "The castle is not suitable for me, and the room is not suitable for me. This always reminds me of the cell in the Colosseum."
"My revenge is not over yet." The hunter pulled out the dagger from his boots, wiped it with a cloth, stuffed it back in without raising his head, and said in a low tone: "Collison is only one of them. If the princess hadn't ruined my business, I could have taken advantage of the riot to get rid of two more people."
"The entire Deep Water City is probably trying to arrest you."
"Yes, I understand. But I can wait, not one year, not two years, not two years, only three years. I have time." The hunter's words sounded uninterrupted, but the determination contained in it was very firm.
"I'm afraid there's a little trouble." Riya shook her head with a wry smile: "Of course, I'm not trying to stop you. But the jungle is now a dangerous place, and the orcs are starting to appear as you said. Just a few days ago, we encountered three orc scouts."
"Three?" The hunter could not understand the combat power of the orc warriors very much, and finally showed a surprised expression: "How many people have you died?"
"A farmer."
"Huh, that loss is not too great." The hunter grinned gently, revealing his sharp tiger teeth: "This unlucky guy is really bad."
"It's really not good." Lea did not reveal that they killed three orcs: "Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter." The hunter shrugged her shoulders, and she seemed very open-minded after completing her revenge: "I just like the feeling of staying in the jungle. Unrestrained freedom is the best, I - never be a slave!"
Free and unrestrained, simple and natural, and unpretentious, just like Li Ya's impression, the beautiful jungle black panther full of power. But she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a little smart, pointing out that the cage of fame and fortune cannot tie her up and will not be loyal to anyone.
"Well." Lea pondered for a moment: "Winter is coming soon. I think, maybe you can stay for a little longer. Maybe we will break up with the nobles of Deep Water City."
"Aren't you also a noble?" The hunter felt very strange: "As far as I know, you are the lord who is loyal to him, right? This is a betrayal."
"We have no way out." Lea sighed faintly. They had already chosen the path of betrayal since Blackstone Castle decided not to pay taxes to the Duke of Ceylon.
"We burned the Castle of Blacklin and killed Boldut."
Since fame and fortune cannot keep the hunter, perhaps the common enemy will make her moved. After all, it is too difficult to fight against the nobles of Deep Water City with one's own strength.
“Bordute?”
"It was the guy who stopped us halfway a few days ago and asked me to go to Daotan Town - Lord Consul."
The hunter laughed: "You are really brave, but I like it. So, you are betrayers now, are you?"
"So that's it." Riya nodded calmly: "My father was designed by the Duke of Ceylon and died, and I just escaped by chance."
"Is it a revenge for killing my father?" The hunter seemed to remember her father and his expression became gloomy: "These nobles are cold-blooded and despicable, and they are not even as good as wild beasts in the jungle. Oh, sorry, it does not include you."
"It's okay." Riya waved her hand and showed a sad expression: "But our strength is very weak now, and there is also the threat of orcs. The only thing we hope is to survive this winter."
The careless hunter is not a fool. He heard what Lia meant, his expression was a little silent, as if he was making a choice.
After a long time, the hunter slowly raised his head, and his emerald-like eyes flashed with light: "So, Liya, what do you want me to do?"
"No, you don't need anything." Leah shook her head and smiled: "Just want you to leave more time. Well, we have a powerful warrior, but her fighting skills are a bit lacking."
"Do you want me to teach her?" The hunter suddenly laughed: "Liya, I'm afraid I can't do it. All the skills I have learned are based on my body. Even if I teach them to ordinary people, I'm afraid..."
The hunter was born for fighting. All the fighting skills she mastered were based on her powerful strength and amazing agility. Even if ordinary people learn it, they would be a fancy.
Then Riya laughed: "Forgive me for offense, you may not be her opponent."
It was the hunter's turn to be stunned. After a while, he was confused and said, "Since I am not her opponent, what can I teach her?"
"Skill!" Riyaga emphasized: "Her strength is only because of her own strength. But in terms of combat experience, she is a completely newbie, and you are a real fighter."
"Newbie?" The hunter finally showed a curious expression. She did hate fighting, but it was in the Colosseum, like a wild beast watching, which made her feel insulted. But in fact, the war in the orc's bones was imprinted in her blood and could never be erased.
A newbie who can defeat himself?
It sounds a bit ridiculous.
But Riya is not like a person who is good at lying.
This made the hunter's competitive spirit hidden deep in his heart rise.
"Yes, a newbie." Lea judged from her expression that she was moved, whether in love or curiosity: "Of course, we won't let you be her instructor for free. A batch of goods are being shipped, including the new wines today in autumn."
"Liya, what are you talking about?" The hunter scratched his head a little silly, laughing, "I'm not a guy who cares about rewards. Uh... you said it's a new wine, right?"
Seeing the hunter's straightforward and cute side, Riya suppressed her smile and nodded: "Yes, the fine wines from Deep Water City. There are also winemakers who are good at brewing ale, on the way. Our Blackstone Castle has achieved a bumper harvest this year, and the barley is abundant."
"Liya, I'm really not a guy who cares about rewards." Seeing the smile that Liya's mouth couldn't hide, the hunter quickly sat upright, coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "I just want to see what a novice can defeat me."
"You like the feeling of the jungle, we can build a comfortable cottage for you. Blackstone Fort will provide you with food and wine regularly. All you have to do is be a teacher."
