Episode 135

68. Welcoming guests – 1

Undead who hate the living will always attack the living.

But is it really normal for them to just stare blankly?

Surrounded by countless skeletons, ghouls, and zombie-like undead, they had an experience worth paying for, but Letish and the other elves just shivered in fear.

“Wow, this is what Daesurim was like… … .”

“Haha. Haven’t you heard the story from Mr. Leon?”

“Oh, I haven’t heard of the undead gathering like this… … .”

Well, that’s true.

Leon came into the forest often and saw Walter a few times, so there was no way something like this could happen.

But this isn’t Letici’s first time. Still, since Walter has seen it once, Lee Han says it’s okay and lets Letici and her party ride on the wagon.

“You’ve come a long way, so let’s eat first.”

Lee Han, who brought the elves to the cabin, immediately prepared a meal.

Because of what happened earlier, they were worried that their food would go down their throats, but as the smell of the food Lee Han was making spread, Letish’s group could feel themselves rapidly growing hungry.

“Okay. Here you go.”

What was on the table was the Meatball Moonlight Tomato Pasta.

Letici, who had eaten pasta in the past, nodded slightly and put some pasta in his mouth. At that moment, his expression changed.

-Slurp! Slurp!

Although in decline, Leticia was a noble.

The nobleman began to inhale the pasta so frantically that he could not even show his respect.

Although it was natural to say something about the disgrace of the young master, the two elves following him were also unable to say anything.

It was because they too were too busy inhaling.

While the Letici group, who had been eating their pasta so passionately, realized their shame and felt embarrassed, Lee Han brought out fruit and coffee from the greenhouse for dessert.

While the Letish party received it and ate it awkwardly, Lee Han sat down and asked.

“You came through the Elven Kingdom, right? Have you heard any news about the exploration of the Great Forest?”

“Ah. Yes. I heard it while I was staying at the Hwinangsi Marquis’ house. I heard that the expedition team has been organized and will probably depart sometime next winter.”

“Oh… … . Do you know how many there are??”

“I heard there are about a few hundred. They say the nobles are going together… … .”

“Do you know who they are?”

“yes.”

Leticia took a piece of paper out of her bosom and held it out.

Lee Han looked through the contents, but there wasn’t anything he particularly knew.

You should know something about elven nobility.

It was the same for Schrader and Walter, so they just tilted their heads.

“They are not people with great military power. They are just people who became the confidants of the Marquis of Calois through flattery.”

“I see. Then we’ve decided what we need to do.”

Lee Han looked satisfied at Leticia, whose eyes were sparkling seriously.

Now that winter is almost over, it’s time to get busy.

But how can we not be satisfied with the increase in manpower?

The Letish party, unable to imagine the true intention hidden behind Lee Han’s blissful smile, simply braced themselves for the fight against Marquis Caloitz.

“What should we do from now on?”

Lee Han smiled kindly at those who were curious.

“You should learn farming.”

“……yes?”

Leticia thought she had misheard.

I had expected harsh training in the Great Forest, as I had to face and fight the Marquis of Calois.

But farming?

“Uh… … isn’t farming something that only humans can do?”

“Others can also help with basic preparation.”

“Oh, I see. Okay! What should I do first?!”

Leticia, trying to come to her senses, spoke confidently.

Unlike Leticia, who is still only a boy, his two subordinates look like they are quite strong.

Lee Han stared at them and then smiled and said.

“Before, things weren’t going well so we couldn’t properly introduce ourselves, right? My name is Lee Han, the owner of this cabin.”

“Oh. Nice to meet you. I am Knight Red, serving Lady Leticia. This is my subordinate and magician, Willem.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Willem.”

“If you were a wizard, what kind of magic could you use…?”

“I mainly use telekinesis.”

I think it will be helpful when moving luggage.

When Lee Han nodded, Letish hesitated and then raised her hand.

“I can use alchemy, even if it is simple.”

“Oh. Alchemy? What is it?”

“You can create a potion that can restore stamina or change the properties of metal to strengthen it.”

It’s a good technique.

Eating your own food will restore your stamina, but you can’t keep feeding it to others.

If you drink a stamina recovery potion to recover from fatigue when you’re tired, it will also help with farm work.

“Do you happen to need any tools for alchemy?”

“It would be nice to have a lab, but a place where I can do simple boiling or preparing ingredients is sufficient.”

“So that means it’s possible here too. That’s great. I’ll get you the tools you need.”

If you can use alchemy with a furnace, it’s not hard to lend or make it.

Lee Han smiled with satisfaction.

“I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“Ah. Yes.”

I feel like the goal is more about production than fighting, but whatever.

Leticia smiled and bowed her head toward Leehan.

The next morning, Leticia carefully got up.

Coming out of the tent that Lee Han had made for him, he tilted his head at the fact that his subordinates Red and Willem were nowhere to be seen.

‘Did you go to the hut…?’

Leticia shivered in the still chilly morning air as she cautiously headed toward the cabin.

There was a noise coming from the cabin, which was covered in a faint fog.

“uh?”

The one moving around in the cabin was a girl of similar age to Leticia, Tree.

Leticia, who had been blankly staring at her as she roughly tied up her long hair and moved around to place dishes on the table, tilted her head when a hand tapped her as she tried to help her.

“Uh… … . You… … ?”

It was a woman whose face was familiar.

I’m sure I saw it at the slave auction.

At that time, she had a bloody appearance with dripping blood, but now she was just a woman with a cheerful expression.

She smiled at Leticia, handing the pieces of meat she had brought to Tree.

“You really came?”

“Oh. Hello. Thank you for last time.”

“What. Okay. Okay. I did it because I wanted to. But breakfast hasn’t come out yet, has it?”

“Uh. Yes.”

“Then let’s go and sit down.”

“Uh. I think I need to help you. Sorry.”

“Um. Okay. Okay, do that.”

As Hongryeon nodded, Letish hurriedly approached Tree.

“I, I will help you too.”

“Then can you move this for me?”

I have no intention of asserting my noble status here.

Leticia accepted the basket of bread that Tree offered.

The bread, steaming hot, had a rich, fragrant aroma that tickled my nose.

‘looks delicious…….’

My mouth was watering without me knowing.

I think I would be really happy if I took a bite of this bread.

However, as a noble, Letici thought that she could not do that, so she held back and moved the bread to the table. Seeing that, Hongryeon picked up one of the breads and took a bite without much thought.

“Hey~. Lee Han! You’re finishing off the bread today?! Do you want to try some too?”

“Okay, it’s okay.”

Leticia shook her head, swallowing her saliva, and quickly moved the dishes onto the table with Tree.

“Oh my. I’ve been having a hard time since morning.”

Then Red and Willem walked out from the forest with a gray-furred wolf-man.

They were both drenched in sweat, so it looked like they had been training for some reason.

“Your Majesty! Are you awake?”

“Uh. Uh. What have you been doing?”

“I came back after cutting down a tree.”

“I moved… … .”

“Oh, I see.”

Who would have thought that it was just a lumberjack’s job that caused Red, the excellent knight, and Willem, the great wizard, such hardships?

Leticia smiled awkwardly and guided them to their seats.

“The smell of bread is amazing!!”

A loud voice was heard.

The one walking towards the river was none other than Vargentus.

He is holding a large fish in both hands, so it looks like he went to the river at dawn and caught some fish.

“Huh? Bargentus. What’s going on this morning?”

“There was a monster that ran away near here, so I caught it and brought it here. I didn’t want to come empty-handed, so I brought this with me.”

The large fish, which was worthy of Bargentus’ large hand, was still flapping as if showing off its freshness.

Lee Han, who was watching him, had a trembling expression.

“Hey. The axe isn’t in great condition.”

“Hmm. I’ve been using it sparingly since you made it for me, but maybe it’s because I have a lot of hunting to do these days… … .”

There was a slight crack in the stone axe.

At this rate, it was clear that it would break in no time.

“If you wait a little longer, the dwarves will come. How about asking them to make it for you?”

“I want what my friend made!!”

“I’m going to learn skills from them, so waiting… … will be a bit difficult, right?”

Looking at the condition of the axe, it didn’t seem like it would last that long.

Lee Han nodded as he looked at the stone axe he had made.

“Okay. I’ll make one for you. I have a railroad, you know. You can make another one after you learn the technique.”

“Really! Thank you! Friend! I will definitely repay you!”

“I’ll take it gratefully. Oh. Are you going to eat breakfast before you go? Sit over there.”

Lee Han took the fish he offered, placed it aside, and guided him to the table.

“Would you like me to boil some beef porridge for you?”

“Good!”

Bargentus sat down, smiling pleasantly.

Meanwhile, Leticia glanced at him from time to time.

It’s not that I’ve never seen a Souvenir tribe before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with such a strong momentum.

Leticia, Red, and Willem were nervous, but Vargentus just smiled.

“Let’s eat now.”

Soup, jam, a salad made from vegetables picked in the garden that morning, baked potatoes with butter, and a variety of other dishes were placed on the table.

Each and every one of these dishes looks delicious.

As Letish swallowed hard at the sight, Tree placed a piece of bread on his plate.

“This is delicious.”

“Uh. Okay. Okay, I’ll enjoy my meal.”

Letici absentmindedly accepted the bread and chewed on it.

The crust was crispy and crumbled, and the warm, moist bread flesh, just cooled enough to eat, was melting in my mouth.

I’ve eaten a lot of bread while living as a noble, but this is the first bread I’ve ever seen.

While Letish was absentmindedly staring at the amazing taste, Lee Han boiled some beef porridge and placed it in front of Bargentus.

“Can you eat breakfast and help me with some work before you go?”

“It doesn’t matter. What would you like me to help you with?”

“I have to make a field.”

“What field?”

“Flower garden. I’m going to make a flower garden with the fairy flowers I received.”

“Oh. So you can collect fairy honey? If that’s the case, then of course I should help you.”

Letisha blankly watched the two laughing and talking.

Leticia couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“Hey… … . Shouldn’t we prepare to fight against Marquis Caloitz? Training and such… … .”

If it were general, Leticia’s words would be correct.

Anyway, if it’s Marquis Caloitz, he’s strong enough to make anyone nervous.

But to the cabin family, the Marquis of Caloitz was not such a fearsome opponent.

“Hahaha. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“yes?”

Lee Han smiled leisurely at him, tilting his head, and got up from his seat.

“Because he’s just a frostbiter.”
