Chapter 168 Rand may not be unable to understand the girl's mind

Since Rand kept looking back on the road, Elsa seemed to understand something.

She walked over quickly, and in front of Rand's slightly widened pupils, she pulled open her dress a little, revealing the tight vest underneath, and took out two daggers from under the dress.

"Don't worry." Elsa said, "I haven't forgotten my work."

Rand actually didn't care about this at all.

In fact, it is very difficult for him to die within the hideout. If he is attacked, as long as he has a little lingering consciousness when he returns to the sacrificial altar, he can be resurrected through self-sacrifice.

And Elsa’s strength should be far beyond the previous version.

A normal top-level professional facing Elsa alone might not even have a chance to escape, although Rand had no evidence to support this view.

"I understand." Rand said that he believed in Elsa's work ethic.

After walking on the street for a while, Rand took Elsa to the tavern.

Rand really didn't understand the dating process between men and women in this world.

The free love of the nobles in this world is mainly concentrated in the group of young nobles who are at the bottom of the inheritance rights.

Naturally, there is no free love between serfs and villagers.

Nobles who are ahead in the right of inheritance must shoulder the responsibility of the family, which means marriage.

If the family elders have not made any arrangements for nobles with a later inheritance right, they may have the opportunity to choose freely, but the range of choices is small and the probability is not high.

The only case Rand had ever seen was the second son of Earl Stag and the legitimate daughter of Earl Greenleaf.

Rand wrote special letters to Earl of Stag and Earl of Greenleaf about their affairs.

The final result was good. The Earl of the Stag and the Young Earl of the Green Leaf were old friends. Since the younger generations had a good relationship, there was no need to separate them.

It's just that Rand is in some trouble, because the young Earl of Green Leaf has sent several unmarried female relatives here to exchange and learn.

The small classroom at the foot of the mountain has become well-known among several families that have good relations with Rand.

The reason was that several noble children were dragged back home by their elders, and then they found that the quality of these younger generations had improved significantly, and their abilities in all aspects had become stronger.

Then the child was sent back.

There are even minor nobles who are thinking of sending their direct heirs here to study, but they are currently waiting and watching.

Rand is now hesitant about whether to charge tuition.

Education is free now. Although it has some political significance, it should not affect his collecting money? But in short, the second son of the Earl of Bucks and the daughter of the Earl of Greenleaf are the only cases of free love that Rand has ever seen, and Rand himself was the matchmaker.

After that, the two got engaged and just recently returned to class. Rand no longer restricted their contact, but only asked them not to show their affection where others could see.

But Rand really didn't have time to observe how they dated.

In fact, before today, Rand had never thought about this kind of thing.

Fortunately, he had a wish list from the top brass of the hideout.

Elsa should like food, both making and tasting it.

Then making something together shouldn't touch Elsa's minefield, and he can also tentatively ask her about her recent thoughts while she is tasting the food.

Rand and Elsa enter the tavern together.

The pub, which was originally noisy, full of laughter and lively atmosphere, suddenly became quiet.

When the two elven maids saw Rand appear, they trembled immediately.

The rest of the people in the tavern quieted down not because of Rand.

At least most of the reasons are not because of Rand.

Elsa has a very high reputation among adventurers. Many adventurers have received favors from Elsa. Even if they have not, most of them know what Elsa looks like.

But in their impression, Elsa was a cold assassin who wore purple-black leather armor, most of her clothes were black, and sometimes she wore a mask on her face.

But now she was wearing a dress and a flower-shaped hairpin in her hair.

She looks like a young lady from a wealthy family who has sneaked out to play, or a princess on the run, but she doesn't look like Elsa at all.

Although he wore a tights and safety pants inside to facilitate movement and carried weapons, it was not visible from the outside.

Although many people know that Elsa is beautiful, she usually covers her face when she is in public to minimize trouble.

But now…

The huge amount of information shocked the tavern staff, which was mainly composed of adventurers.

"Elsa?" Finally, an adventurer uncle asked tentatively with a somewhat puzzled expression.

Elsa was a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice helplessly: "No, no, you are wrong."

The scene continued to remain silent.

We are not blind, this is obviously Elsa.

So why did Elsa go out dressed like this?

Rand realized that he had made a mistake. He had indeed not expected to cause such a response, but now it was done.

Under the knowing gaze of everyone in the tavern, Rand took Elsa into the kitchen.

The tavern suddenly became lively again, but not the previous kind of liveliness of drinking, chatting and bragging, but the kind of liveliness of everyone whispering.

It's not a big problem, Rand thought. As a young lord, it's normal for him to have several lovers. Although Elsa has many admirers among the adventurers, everyone knows that Elsa and Rand should have an unclear relationship.

Therefore, Elsa has never had any suitors.

After arriving at the kitchen, Rand glanced at Elsa, whose ears had turned red.

Elsa also looked at Rand a few more times, then looked away.

Rand, as if, probably, possibly, seemed to, didn't really mind the rumors of an ambiguous relationship with her.

Although Elsa and Rand were already very ambiguous, such as the toy therapy during the Civil War, or the bathing together later.

But at least not many outsiders know about this.

By now, at least the adventurers in the holiday villa and the believers in the den should know about it.

In places where there are many adventurers, gossip, especially scandals, always spreads quickly.

Many people don't know what Rand looks like, but someone will eventually know, and then everyone will know the news.

I know...Elsa and Lord Rand are out on a date...

Rand now probably knew what Elsa wanted to say, but he still took out the ingredients.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Now that he came to the tavern kitchen, it would naturally affect the preparation of meals, but his power as a lord was unlimited, and no one dared to complain about him for this.

In the modern society of his previous life, he was used to trying not to cause trouble to others, but in this evil aristocratic society, Rand could do almost whatever he wanted, at least in Crescent Territory.

Although Rand would not really go against the grain.

Moreover, he has a glorious mission on his shoulders now. If a talent like Elsa really leaves, it will be a real loss to the hideout, so now Rand is "dedicated to the public."

Take out the coarse sugar cubes, cold boiled water, and lemon that you have prepared long ago.

Boil water in a pot, and when the water is warm, put in the sugar cubes and stir to melt them.

At this time, let Elsa help squeeze the lemon juice into a container and pour the lemon juice into the pot.

Continue cooking until the syrup beads up and springs back firmly when scooped up from a spoon.

Turn off the heat and cool down in an ice bath.

Rand scooped a spoonful and handed it to Elsa. Elsa looked at the spoon, lowered her head slightly, touched it with the tip of her tongue, and licked a little.

Rand didn't know why Elsa was a little shy now, and he ate the remaining syrup in the spoon into his mouth.

Syrup is widely used in beverage making, but the taste is average when eaten directly, sweet with a slight lemony sourness.

But that was in Rand's previous life. Now, syrup is at least a food that is above the standard, but it is still not suitable for drinking directly.

Then Rand took out the orange and used his powerful grip to squeeze the orange juice directly into the glass.

Add the syrup, add cool water, add ice, add lemon juice, and have lemon slices ready for garnish.

Rand put on his white gloves and adjusted his collar.

I had originally planned to go on a date with Elsa today, so naturally I wore formal attire instead of my usual farmer's attire that wasn't afraid of getting dirty.

"Please." Rand handed the beautiful glass to Elsa, "Beautiful lady."

Elsa took it and sipped it gently.

Rand didn't ask how it tasted. This cup of mixed juice was not an experimental product. He had practiced it many times yesterday and had investigated Elsa's taste. It must be what Elsa liked.

Elsa knew that Rand had rehearsed it. After being asked by Rand to stay yesterday, she was a little confused. When she was wandering in the hideout, she saw Rand conducting experiments in the small kitchen, but she didn't understand what Rand wanted to do, so she didn't show up.

Now she knew what Rand was trying to do.

Rand then asked, "Are you unhappy in the hideout?"

Elsa shook her head: "Very happy."

"Then why do you want to leave here and go back to your family?" Rand asked.

It turns out that this is what Rand was worried about. It would have been easier to just ask the question directly, but he had to do this.

Elsa said, "Because I feel that I have gained too much here, and I can do too little for the den. I want to go back and inherit the family, and then let them work for the den."

Elsa was still rather shy to say this, because she was not sure if she could do it. Moreover, she had signed an employment contract with Rand and was not qualified to make decisions on her own.

For Rand, the previous employment contract was originally meant to be a joke.

Rand glanced around at the tavern's kitchen staff. Since the tavern was now dedicated to selling drinks, there was no smell of oil smoke.

"I actually have a somewhat strange reputation outside," Rand said. "Do you mind?"

Due to Lysa's propaganda, Rand's reputation among outsiders actually tends to be that of a pervert who likes to whip people, but this was something Rand deliberately asked Lysa to do, because he initially wanted to use this method to reduce the interest of other nobles in marrying him.

But later I found it was useless so I stopped.

Elsa didn't understand what Rand meant, and was a little confused, but she still replied, "I don't mind."

Rand did not understand the girl's mind, nor did he know how to comfort Elsa with such strange thoughts that would make the capitalists ecstatic.

But he knew what to do.

Ignoring the looks from the people around him, Rand pinched Elsa's chin.

Pulling Elsa close to him, he bit her lip and pried her teeth open with his tongue.

Elsa's heart paused for a moment, and her brain was confused, but she had no intention of resisting.
