In the garden villa in Jinwutong District, Monaghan stared forward with beaming eyes.

"Grumbling..."

In front of him was the hot pot he had "dreamed of", and Monaghan couldn't help swallowing just by smelling the scent.

The irritating fragrance seemed to be pervasive, and he felt a sense of intoxication that he couldn't open his eyes.

This is incomparable to any other food!

Licking his lips, he asked hopefully:

"Can you eat it?"

"I'm not familiar yet, wait a minute..."

"Can you eat it?"

...

After repeating this question several times, he finally got an affirmative answer.

Monaghan finally couldn't help it, picked up the tableware and began to feast on it.

After a full drink and meal, he collapsed comfortably in the armchair and burped with a spicy taste.

Although he did not drink, he had a lazy, slightly drunken feeling.

This kind of real taste is not comparable to the illusion in the dream.

"This is so comfortable..."

Rubbing his stomach and looking at the sky, Monaghan only felt a sense of "satisfaction" all over his body.

At this time, Lucid, who was sitting opposite, finally "see you poorly".

Shy face, she asked with a "sorry" smile:

"Captain...may I ask for a leave?"

"what?"

Monaghan was a little dazed, and then replied indifferently:

"Yes, you can submit an application tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lucid's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

...

The next day, in the room of the head of the "Black Thorns Mercenary Group", watching the "application" submitted by "Xilin", Monaghan's forehead was raised with blue veins.

With a dark face, he called in "Xilin", who was a little "uneasy" on his face, and questioned without anger:

"You meow...want to take a one-month holiday?"

Like a chicken pecking at rice, Lucid nodded, and replied "righteously":

"Yes!"

"..."

Monaghan couldn't help being stagnated. He hadn't expected such a straightforward attitude of "Shilin".

After a long time, he recovered, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and asked with a little guilty conscience:

"Why... why did you take such a long vacation suddenly? Uh, is there any reason?"

Lucid, who had already finished the draft, gave a "reasonable" answer without hesitation:

"I have to go to see my shipyard... I have not been to the shipyard in Backlund for a long time, and I don't know if there will be any problems."

"..."

Monaghan was speechless again.

Is this the life of the rich? How "unpretentious and boring".

Inexplicably, a heart-wrenching feeling arose spontaneously, and he subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to reject this application...

But after thinking about it for a long time, Monaghan didn't think of a particularly suitable statement.

This reason... seems to be quite sufficient?

In addition, I vaguely promised to "take leave" yesterday, and now I feel a bit "cannibalistic".

I can't help but frown slightly, always feeling uncomfortable in my heart.

But regret it now, it seems it's too late.

Moreover, the reason for inspecting one's own industry is quite sufficient, and there is really no rebuttal.

"All right……"

Reluctantly, Monaghan gritted his teeth and signed his name on the application form.

Seeing "Shilin" who was smiling openly, he secretly sighed:

""Hotpot", it's not that easy to eat! But..."

Smacking his lips, recalling yesterday's hot pot, he couldn't help sighing again:

"It's so fragrant!"

The sudden loss of an official team member is not a big thing for Tingen's "Night Watcher" branch.

What's more, this is the only "fortune-teller" in the team, and an important support for the extraordinary.

However, Tingen now has a lot of calm. "Black Thorns" has no business for the time being, which made him a little entangled. He gritted his teeth and approved "Xilling"'s application.

When signing, Monaghan kept chanting a sentence repeatedly in his heart:

"This is definitely not because of the "hot pot"... "Xilling" reason is sufficient!"

In this way, after successfully obtaining the "vacation application form", Lucid finally met the conditions for temporarily leaving Tingen.

And this time, she will go to Backlund again.

However, Lucid always had a faint sense of fear for Backlund.

The "weird" I encountered there last time is still vivid, and she can't help but worry a little.

Although thinking about it now, it may be because of the identity of "Schilling Frein", but other influences cannot be ruled out.

Frowning slightly, Lucid sighed and said with some fluke relief:

"Hey...the current "Shilin" is already a night watcher, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Bah, baah..."

Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to stand up inadvertently.

This is not a good sign.

Shaking his head, Lucid ditched all these miscellaneous things and stopped the unnecessary thinking.

This is impossible to stand in a "secret" world.

Sit down and get ready, and let's see the machine by then!

Like fate in the dark, this trip to Backlund was the same as the last one, and planned to take a boat there.

This is also the most convenient and comfortable way.

As the "main artery" of Ruen, the Tussock River originated from Winter County and rushed to the southeast into the sea.

And similar to Tingen, Beckland is also a city on the banks of the Tasok River.

This is also an important reason why the Tasok River is called the "Great Artery of the Kingdom". Its convenient waterway transportation is one of the unique advantages of Ruen.

Through this method, Ruen can easily transport the coal, steel and other resources of Winter County to Backlund; conversely, it can also transport the grain from the southern part of the kingdom to the northern counties.

It's a pity ~lightnovelpub.net~ There seems to be something wrong with the Tasok River now.

This key point in the port area of ​​Tingen has been artificially destroyed.

Until now, traffic has not been fully restored.

As a last resort, Lucid could only head south to the "Vinia Town" he had been to.

Then take a boat from the town and down the Tasok River.

In this way, you can most comfortably arrive at Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Ruen, which will be known as the "Capital of All Capitals" in the future.

Compared with the bumpy land carriage, the waterway is undoubtedly a better choice.

Not to mention calm and quiet, the space is much larger than that of a small carriage.

Maybe other people’s rooms are similar to the carriages, but for Lucid’s “big dog family”...

In this way, she left Tingen, boarded a boat in the town of Vigna, and embarked on the journey of "Becklund".
