Chapter 56: Long-lost Tentacles
Richard felt that something bad was going to happen when Sylvanas brought the plate, because Fina had been sent out by Richard to do something before, and this plate of food was probably made by her alone.
Richard had no choice but to silently use his tentacles to transform his tongue into a new tongue without taste buds.
"Let's taste it together."
Richard invited Khadgar. Since we are friends, we should share the joys and sorrows, don't you think?
"Okay."
Richard put a piece into his mouth first and swallowed it expressionlessly. When the food passed through his esophagus, Richard kept thinking, why did he hypocritically say that Sylvanas was talented at the beginning, and people should be honest...
Although thinking so, Richard still silently raised his thumb. Sylvanas smiled happily. Khadgar looked at Richard and picked up a piece of dessert. As soon as he put it into his mouth, his eyes widened. He was about to spit it out, but he saw Richard's meaningful look and had to swallow it down.
"Ahem. Well, Sylvanas' dessert tastes very unique. This is the first time I have tasted such a delicacy. I will never forget this taste."
Sylvanas thanked him, "Thank you for your compliment."
Khadgar took a sip of tea to suppress his anger, stood up and said, "I still have some news to bring to Turayan, so I'll take my leave first."
Richard waved his hand and said, "Goodbye."
After leaving the Hearthstone Inn where Richard lived, Khadgar quickly found a forest and started to pick his throat while holding a tree trunk.
"Grr! Grr-Grr..."
After who knows how long he vomited, a pool of the mixture appeared on the ground. Khadgar bent his waist and trembled with his legs vomiting.
"Feeling better... much better. How on earth did Richard eat this stuff without changing his expression..."
Khadgar wiped the sweat off his head with his sleeve. Just as he was about to stand up, a huge force suddenly came from his back, pressing him to the ground. A little girl in tattered clothes rolled forward and continued to run.
"Stop! You thief! Stop right there!"
Florcia jumped down behind her.
"Puff!"
A strange sound came.
"Huh? Did I step on something? Never mind, catching the thief is more important, stop right there!"
The little girl in front continued to run without looking back.
Khadgar climbed up, holding his waist, his body was covered with the mixture, not only his robe, but also his face and hair, which exuded a sour smell...
Khadgar scratched his face and cast a spell with both hands: "Arcane Tracking!"
After a while, Richard and Sylvanas saw Khadgar again. However, behind Khadgar were Florsia, who was embarrassed and holding her head, and the elf girl with her hands tied.
"Can I borrow your bathroom?"
Richard looked at the dirty Khadgar and asked: "Take the third room on the left after leaving the door, what happened?"
"Ask them!" Khadgar said angrily while taking a shower.
Richard fixed his eyes on Florcia, who said awkwardly, "I seem to have stepped on Khadgar when I was catching this thief..."
Florcia poorly recreated the scene at that time, and Sylvanas was confused, but Richard understood that Khadgar vomited because the food was too unpalatable, and they stepped on him by coincidence, so it was no wonder that Khadgar was angry. Anyone would be angry if there was so much paste on their body, and Richard even thought maliciously, did Khadgar accidentally eat some of it?
As for the girl next to him, she was a thief, and a habitual offender. This was her fourth time stealing in the Hearthstone Inn. It must be said that her skills were superb. She was not caught on the spot for the three times she stole, and this time she was caught only because she deliberately waited for him.
Khadgar washed himself thoroughly inside and out, and returned to Richard's room all wet.
Richard stood up and handed Khadgar a card.
"What is this?"
Khadgar took it. The card was golden, with no words on it, only a rose carved in gold.
"This is a 30% discount membership card for our new chain store, the Golden Rose. After all, we are partly responsible for your look."
Florcia apologized at the right time, and Khadgar accepted the apology. It's a good thing to have a membership card, after all, Richard's stuff is expensive. The Hearthstone Inn also has a membership card, but you have to spend a certain amount to get it. Khadgar, who is young at heart, doesn't know where the Golden Rose is yet. When he finds out, he almost gets angry. He is young at heart but not physically. This old body can never regain its vigor!
"As for this thief, throw him to Kozan to do hard labor! He steals at such a young age, what will
he be like when he grows up?" Sylvanas interrupted, "Wait a minute, this girl is also a citizen of Quel'Thalas after all, shouldn't you inform His Majesty the King about your treatment of her?"
"Humph, if she commits a crime here and is caught, she has to obey my discipline. He has to thank me for helping him discipline his bad subjects."
Khadgar frowned, but did not raise any objections. He left after a while. Sylvanas paced back and forth for a few circles, and finally decided to go to meet the king. Richard rang the bell and called Virgil. Sparta, he took the chain tied to the elf girl's hands and sent her to Kozan Island. Only Richard and Florcia were left in the room.
Richard leaned against the chair and tilted his head to look at Florcia. It seemed that he hadn't played with her for a long time. After fighting for such a long time, it was time to relax. Fortunately, there was no one here now.
"Tell me, how should I punish you for causing me such a big loss?"
Florcia seemed to be looking forward to it: "How do you want to punish me?"
"How about this?"
A tentacle filled with holy light stretched out from Richard's back, and Florcia lowered her head shyly.
Richard smiled, wrapped Florsia in his arms and went into the inner room...
In the palace of Silvermoon City, Sylvanas reported the handling of the Hearthstone Inn to Anasritaan.
"If you are caught stealing in his shop, let him handle it. It is really a disgrace to Quel'Thalas! Don't report such things to me in the future!"
"Yes!" Sylvanas retreated.
Anastritan slammed the table angrily! To deal with one's own people in one's own country is to disrespect one's sovereignty! But they cannot turn against them because of this insignificant thief. Not only does Silvermoon City need their protection, but the country also owes them a large sum of money. Speaking of money, where will the money come from? The money of the residents of Silvermoon City has been plundered clean. Exploiting them again may cause resistance, which is really a headache.
Just when Sylvanas and Anastritan met, Richard and Florcia were exercising. The two passionate men and women did not notice that there was a pair of blue eyes staring at them from the other side of the door.
