Chapter 18 Check-in (Part 2)
The more Jiang You thought about it, the more he felt that this was a worthwhile idea.
First of all, she was new here, knew nothing about this world, and was a creature of dark magic. Although she was now a "certified" worker, this country seemed to be full of dangers.
Conflicts abound between the new king and the old royal family—and, I hear, the parliament?—and the war between the Moon Worshipers, dedicated to improving the lives of the common people and gaining their support, and the mysterious and murderous Moon with Evil Eyes, is quietly approaching. There's no telling when it might draw her into the conflict...
If the owner of the house, Mi You, and her mother, Mi Funa, are from the Evil Eye Moon, or are related to the Evil Eye Moon, then was her arrival in this world the result of a magical accident caused by a typo, or was it a completely intentional sacrifice?
If Andrei could follow the clues and find him, then the people from Evil Eye Moon could find him too. Even if Jiang You chose to flee or hide, such a unique skeleton, mixed in with normal people, would be like a bright searchlight in the night sky, impossible to hide at all.
Without Jiang You realizing it, she seemed to have been drawn into the scheme of someone, or some existence.
'This is not good,' she thought, 'the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. Although it seems that killing a lich like me is not easy at the moment, it would be too easy to cause trouble for me.'
It only takes a few troublemakers or bribed knights of the kingdom to destroy her shop before it even starts.
If you run a food restaurant, no matter how good the quality, how great the craftsmanship, and how sanitary conditions are, it will be difficult to develop in an unfamiliar place without some backing.
What's more, the food she made was something the people here had never seen before.
With the support of a kingdom knight who is familiar with various detection magics, most of these problems can be solved.
Secondly, Andrei's soul energy was abundant. Just a small soul fire was enough for her to consume for more than half a month, which was more than the energy contributed by Aunt Wolf, the nearby neighbors, and the little followers in the past few days combined...
Moreover, it seemed that Andre was quite satisfied with the food she cooked. This handsome knight was also very reasonable and seemed easy to communicate with.
Thirdly, there were simply too many things in need of repair in this house. She could certainly do it alone, but it would take a long time. However, with a strong and powerful knight of the kingdom who could also perform magic, it would be much easier... and of course, maybe she could even feast her eyes.
Thinking of this, Jiangyou changed his initial panic and took the initiative to come to the store in the front hall.
Andre had checked the wooden door and pushed it back to its original position, closing it with difficulty.
"The wood has warped due to years of neglect, so it's stuck in the door frame. To completely repair it, we have to build a new one." Andre saw her come out, dusted off his hands and said, "I've successfully closed it. You'll have to make do with it for the next few days. When I have time, I'll make you a new one."
Someone took over this matter, and Jiang You smiled happily: "Oh, that's great!"
She said, "There are only two rooms upstairs. I'm using one now, and the other is Mi You's room. If you don't mind, you can use that one... maybe you can find more clues there."
"but……"
She scratched her head, lost in thought: Mi Funa seemed to have a good relationship with the king's brother, the kingdom's royal magician, Mebucha... Mebucha was even indebted to Mi Funa, having taken the nonmagical Mi You as his disciple...
Honestly, after hearing Aunt Wolf's gossip, she almost thought that it was Mi Funa who made some magic potion and helped Mebucha poison the old king, which was why she was silenced...
But now Andrei said that Mi Funa was connected to the mysterious sect of the Evil Eye Moon, perhaps even a member of it, and that this sect was hostile to the current royal family... Hmm? Why did Mi Funa's stance always seem strange, as if something didn't make sense?
She stopped talking before she could figure it out. She looked up from the window and saw a figure flashing next door. She said happily, "That must be Aunt Wolf coming back. I must take the rose wine I made to her to try!"
She happily rushed back to the kitchen, scooped another bowl of rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice, put them in a small bamboo basket and ran to the back door. Andre and Jericho looked at each other and followed her out.
The figure that Jiangyou saw was indeed Aunt Wolf Talia who had just returned home. She had just returned from visiting the dungeon of the Kingdom Knights and looked tired. When she saw Jiangyou, she just greeted him listlessly.
"Jiangyou, I'm sorry, but the botanist I wanted to introduce you to is probably no longer around." Aunt Talia sighed deeply. "That unfortunate kid, I don't know who he offended, but he was locked up by the Kingdom Knights as someone with the Evil Eye Moon..."
"Eh?" Jiang You replied with a bit of regret, and then her pupils jumped a few times: "Huh?! Evil Eye Moon??!"
"Excuse me," Andrei stepped forward, "Auntie, could you tell me what happened from the beginning?"
-------
The sudden clue was delivered to my doorstep inexplicably.
Jiangyou went back to the house and made a few bowls of rose wine meatballs. They ate and talked, and finally figured out the whole story. Jiangyou also successfully tasted the flavor of the wine meatballs through Aunt Wolf's "emotional translation".
The botanist Aunt Wolf wanted to introduce was the Holly Ho Axe she had mentioned before.
Holly Ho Axe was a member of the Haff tribe, a humanoid race unique to this world.
The Hafu people are shorter than ordinary people, but have well-proportioned limbs, which is obviously different from dwarves and dwarves.
Their lifespan is between that of humans and elves, and they are slender, with pointed ears similar to those of elves, a large round nose, and short, soft, curly hair. Their hands and feet are covered with a layer of natural scales that are waterproof and stain-resistant, making them very suitable for digging the land.
They are close to nature, like soil, earth and plants, and have a strong affinity for plants and natural elements. Each of them is an absolute "green finger".
Compared with the high-ranking elves, the Haf people are closer to the earth. Their favorite thing is to study various fertilizers. They go through mud and manure every day just to take good care of their favorite flowers and plants.
The greatest lifelong wish of every Hafu member is to run a botanical garden of their own and grow many rare plants.
