Chapter 188 Noble-Style Box Lunch
"Danger?"
Hearing Claire's extremely serious words, Avis's expression was stunned.
His mysterious blue eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his beautiful face, as if he had just learned for the first time that the girl actually had this characteristic.
But the next moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the reaction of the boy in front of her, the blonde half-elf girl took a breath, pursed her rosy lips, raised her pretty eyebrows, and stared at Avis with dissatisfaction in her clear ocean-like eyes.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, Senior Claire, I don't take your words to heart."
As if he understood the meaning in the girl's eyes, Avis raised his hands slightly and explained it elegantly.
"Do you still remember my origins? The Olivendi family in the north, known as the 'Unfallen Crystal Bird'?"
"As a direct descendant who has not yet held his coming-of-age ceremony, the fact that my family can safely allow me to come to this island naturally also means that I currently have enough ability to ensure my own safety."
When mentioning the title of 'The Unfallen Crystal Bird' that was circulated in the outside world, a trace of self-mockery flashed across the depths of Anvis' eyes.
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and tilted his body slightly. He gestured to Claire, who stood quietly behind him the whole time, wearing a brown linen cloak and looking inconspicuous.
“Let me introduce you, this is Joem, His Excellency Joem Olivendi, an eighth-rank expert.
This time on the island, he is the one who will protect my safety."
After hearing Anvis' introduction of him, Joem's eyes flashed with gratitude.
Although he was an eighth-rank warrior, he was only Avis's bodyguard at this time.
When Anvis introduced him, he still included the surname 'Oliwendi', which was equivalent to introducing him to Claire as an elder of the clan.
Seeing the half-elf girl looking at him curiously, he nodded slightly to the girl as a greeting.
Claire nodded in understanding. She realized where Avis' confidence came from, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes disappeared.
After thinking about it, the girl decided to use the experience of the old wizard who raised her to warn Avis not to let his guard down.
"Level 8, it is indeed very strong. However, the teacher who brought me up is also an eighth-level spellcaster."
"On the eve of my enrollment, he ran into big trouble because of me. He spent a lot of treasures and resources to temporarily repel those strange enemies."
"It was for this reason that my teacher sent me to Pamir College. In order to protect me, he also hoped to find a way to solve this trait in me."
"Is that so? I see."
Avis nodded and put away the expression on his face.
For some reason, the girl felt that he didn't seem very surprised.
"Don't worry, Senior Claire. According to your description, it will take a long time for your trait to take effect on high-level professionals."
"Besides, with Lord Joum here, most of the things on this island... are not a threat to me—"
Thinking of the way he had just appeared, Avis changed his words slightly and summarized what he had said.
"Okay, Avis."
Claire nodded and fell silent again.
Having said that, she naturally had no intention of sending Anvis away.
Moreover, in a secret corner deep in the girl's heart, she was actually secretly hoping that the boy would stay and accompany her.
If it goes on for a long time, the teenager may be in danger.
Well, just for a little while, that's all.
The air between the three of them fell silent again, with the only sound in the air being the slight crackling of the bonfire.
Avis's eyes turned to the small orange-red bonfire, which was emitting the aroma of stewed rabbit and toasted bread.
The bread crust has been toasted to a slightly browned color, and the dried rabbit meat stewed in the pot has been cooked until it is soft and tender. The rising bubbles are rolling along with the light brown mushrooms, and the aroma is fragrant.
Noticing Avis's gaze, Claire took a piece of toast skewered on a sharpened twig and slowly handed it to him.
"Would you like to eat some together? I have a lot of dried meat and bread here that can be toasted."
"Oh, thank you, Senior Claire, but I brought my own lunch, so I thought we could eat together."
Looking at the small stew pot which was a bit small and obviously only for one person, Avis took the bread from the girl with a smile and turned his gaze to Joem.
"Sir Joum, please bring out our lunch."
"Okay, Lord Anvis."
Nodding, Joem took out two cubic constant boxes about fifty centimeters long and wide from a special ring on his left hand.
The constant box is made of dark silver, and a special constant magic array is engraved inside, which enables it to achieve the effect of long-term heat preservation and freshness preservation.
Extending his mental power to the nearby ruins of rock, Jom controlled the magical effects of the School of Transformation and temporarily created a long rock table and two stone chairs.
Then, he took out a snow-white tablecloth from the constant temperature box and spread it on the long table. He then placed various delicacies made with rare magical ingredients on the surface of the long table in order.
"Mr. Anvis, today's lunch is abalone ice crystal bamboo shoots, cedar cheese toast, black pepper Mandola lamb chops, Misty Sea lobster salad, Ice Sea caviar tart, Bright Raspberry Layered Cake, Star Fruit Ice Cream..."
Staring blankly at the scene, Claire slowly lowered her head, glanced at the slightly dry toast in her hand, then looked at the delicacies on the stone table on Avis's side, and suddenly felt the deep malice from this world.
When she looked at Avis again, her eyes were filled with a silent accusation against the rich.
However, reflected in her eyes as clear as the ocean was the figure of a young man smiling and holding a piece of toast, waving at her.
"Don't just stand there, Senior Claire, come and eat together. That's the chair prepared for us. As an eighth-level professional, Mr. Joem doesn't need to eat these foods with low magic content."
On the other side, Joem had already placed two sets of tableware along with the decorative vase on the table and stood behind one of the chairs again.
"Oh, we have one last dish—"
As the girl watched, Anvis walked to the campfire, picked up the already cooked miniature rabbit stew pot, and placed it in the middle of the long stone table.
Then, he bowed slightly like a gentleman and elegantly invited the girl to take a seat first.
"Anvis, do you always eat like this when you're out there?"
Sitting at the snow-white dining table, holding silver cutlery in her hands and a white napkin tied around her chest.
In a trance, the girl even had an illusion. It was as if she was not exploring in the wild, but suddenly returned to the academy's high tower restaurant.
"Not bad, this is a simple meal prepared by the family for outdoor life. Since it is packed in a special permanent lunch box, I am more accustomed to calling it a 'box lunch'——"
Using a table knife to cut a piece of toast from the branch, Avis smiled and spoke.
