New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 139 Love
Angli.

Until now, everything he had experienced had left him very confused. He was just like a child who was suddenly taken out by his parents to play. He was only responsible for sitting in the car and waiting for Lei Ye to get everything done. He didn't have to do anything else.

But Angeli quickly understood that this might be Lei Ye's nth save file, so what he should do was to listen to him. If Lei Ye asked him to do something, he would think about whether to obey. Apart from that, he should not mess around. When Lei Ye was rampaging in the royal city, he grabbed the restless Surt.

The great anticipation turned into great fear after Lei Ye brought Lav out. He knew that Lav was about to die of old age, but he thought he would see a little old lady dressed in jewels, so he could take the opportunity to start a conversation and ask her how she had been living over the years, as if they were reuniting old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

But what he saw was a little old lady who was too haggard. There was no jewelry at all. She looked like she had just been released from an underground prison.

Such a reunion left him speechless for a moment, and he remained silent the entire time. Instead, it was Lav who couldn't help but speak softly in the end.

".Angeli?"

Angeli remained silent. He hesitated for a moment and took out another thing that he had commissioned Lei Ye to make. It was a small thing that looked like a mask. Holding it in his hand, it was like changing the costume of a figurine.

He handed it to Schulte.

Seeing Raph made him feel as if he was back to that afternoon decades ago, when a minotaur suddenly came over and said that the minotaur territory was invaded, but his tone was not urgent. There was even a sense of joy that suddenly came after a long period of boredom. Angeli went over and understood immediately. That was a team that had no combat effectiveness at all. Except for the men in the carriage, most of them were just maids. Everyone was horrified when Angeli showed up, and a few little girls even cried out of fear.

It’s more of a takeaway than an invasion.

The minotaurs came over to watch the fun, wanting to see how these uninvited guests would react.

At this time, a woman in red lifted the curtain and walked out. She got off the carriage with a calmness that was almost arrogant, and walked towards Angeli step by step with graceful manners. Angeli was stunned by her calm posture and even forgot the irritation caused by the red in her eyes.

"We are just passing by and don't want to cause any trouble. If you can help us, we will be very grateful. But if you must do it, there is no need to embarrass them. I will leave it to you."

The minotaurs have a bad habit. When there is a huge difference in fighting power, if the enemy wags his tail and begs for mercy, the minotaurs will beat them hard! Until they are beaten to a pulp, and then they will let them go with satisfaction. If the opponent shows that he is determined to fight to the death from the beginning, the minotaurs will be even happier, and they will even pretend to get to know the opponent in a way that they can only get to know each other through fighting.

This problem is most serious in the Sart, who have impure bloodline.

As a minotaur among minotaurs, Angeli naturally had some experience with it. At this moment, he had already raised his eyebrows slightly with pleasure, thinking about how to give convenience to this group of people while maintaining the dignity of the minotaur tribe, and by the way, provide some supplies to this group of tired people. However, Angeli, who did not quite understand human customs at this moment, did something wrong.

"Don't you think it's rude to talk like this? You don't dare to show your true face? And you chose this color. Is it a provocation to us?!" He growled and tore off the red veil on the other person's face with his fingernails.

The maids were in an uproar and some even screamed as if the sky was falling.

Angeli didn't pay attention to the screams of those little humans, she just stared at the face that might be beautiful to humans, but was nothing special to the minotaur. That face with dried tear marks was full of fear, and even the muscles were shaking slightly uncontrollably, which was totally inconsistent with her calm tone just now. This look of fear was very suitable for this delicate and weak body, but she was so scared yet she could still stride forward to confront him, the great sin?

Angeli only likes courage and dislikes weakness, but the combination of these two conflicting things inexplicably moved Angeli even more, and his heart skipped a beat.

Maybe it’s because she can’t see, Angeli thought as he looked at those dull eyes.

But why is she so sad? Angeli thought again, looking at the tear marks on that face.

Those were traces of repeated flow that had already dried up, not traces caused by being scared by oneself.

For some unknown reason, he decided to keep this group of people.

This is not the Minotaur's bad habit, but Ang'li's bad habit. Occasionally, when he wants to do something, he will hide it in another way. Later, he realized that this is called repressed sexiness.

From time to time, Angeli would pretend to pass by the place where the group was "detained". In addition to being interested in that person, he also had a certain interest in humans. He learned that this group of people were going to marry a foreign prince, and he also learned that having the veil lifted seemed to be a very bad thing, but the Frey Empire no longer held weddings like this, so it seemed that there was no problem.

The interesting thing is that no one told the woman that they encountered a minotaur, they only said that they encountered a group of robbers. Although he knew that it was out of kindness not to scare her too much, being described as a robber still made Angeli feel angry and amused.

Who do you think I am? Wrath, one of the seven deadly sins! Or some petty thief who robs people on the road?!
But after that day, all the Tauren in the Tauren Tribe cooperated with this lie. In the end, Raph didn't know that he had accidentally entered the territory of the "extremely vicious" Fury.

"It's almost there," said Schulte.

"Yeah," Raph lowered her head.

The semi-trailer has entered Dominica, the only coastal city in the Frey Empire and one of the most developed cities.

The good thing about developed cities is that they have a lot of people, but that's also their bad thing. From the moment they entered Dominica, the speed of the dump truck slowed down, and it kept honking its horn. Angeli didn't know the term "road rage", but he occasionally glanced at the man sitting in the driver's seat and felt that he was unusually irritable.

"Hello, you idiots who don't know how to hide and are curiously leaning forward. If you keep leaning forward, I'll hit you to death!" Lei Ye cursed and knocked on the rearview mirror. He was shocked to see that Sult was wearing a voice changer and talking to Lav. He turned around and said, "Fuck Sult, what are you doing!!!"

Your second brother risked his life to save your eldest sister-in-law, what are you doing in front of your eldest brother! Are you still a minotaur?

Oh yes, that's right, it's the Minotaur.

wrong!

Shi Erte was stunned and also furious, "Fuck you, do we know each other well? I just punched me and ignored you, why are you scolding me now?!"

Lei Ye was stunned after being scolded, and then he realized that Shi Erte was not the obedient subordinate to him now, but a stupid and stubborn donkey.

This is not the problem at the moment
Lei Ye glanced at Angeli. The cow looked devastated. He looked at Lav with a weird expression and then at Lei Ye. He shook his head and grinned, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

So Lei Ye turned his head and stopped talking, enduring the pain and continuing to drive.

What a nerve
The sea.

The beaches in this world have not been developed into any entertainment venues or tourist attractions. People gather at the ports where merchant ships stop, waiting to buy fresh Ed people or exotic fruits. The beach is bare, with nothing but sand and reefs.

After getting out of the car, Schulte carefully helped Ms. Love walk towards the sea.

Lei Ye went straight to Angli who was watching them leave.

He was in a very bad mood, even to the point of being a little angry, so he approached Angeli with a questioning tone.

"Don't get excited. I can explain." Angeli's tone was very calm. "She doesn't know that Angeli is a minotaur yet. She finally saw the sea at the end of her life. I don't want her to be scared by me."

"What do you mean?" Lei Ye was confused. "What do you mean I don't know you are a minotaur?"

Angeli scratched his head and quickly recounted the past events.

Lei Ye listened to this and slowly opened his eyes.

"In other words, in those few months, to be exact, from the time you met until now, there was no physical contact at all?! There was only conversation, and you didn't even look or hold hands. How is this different from online dating?"

After a moment of silence, Angeli nodded.

Lei Ye felt powerless and sat there weakly.

What the hell.
He understood why Angeli cared so much about the explorers' views of him. He had been wondering whether humans would be afraid of him, and the answer he got was that when they met for the first time, they would definitely be.

As for the voice changer he commissioned, it was used for this. It was not to let Surt talk about the past for him. There was no need to talk about anything. He just wanted 'Angeli' to support the little old lady and listen to the sea calmly. Angeli was not important, what was important was the sea.

You know nothing! Is the sea really that important?! Forget it, as long as Angli doesn't feel any regret.

He changed from a sitting position to a lying position. Driving here had exhausted the last of his strength. Now his last task was to endure the torture of overdrawn life and hold on for a while, and then everything would be over.

Bu Yadi had extended his life for nearly a thousand years, but it was burned out in one go, leaving only one or two hours. This super-level magic was really a waste.
He squinted his eyes but tried not to fall asleep. In his hazy state, he saw Lav suddenly stop and say something to Surt, then turn back.

Walk towards the bewildered Angli.

Suddenly Lei Ye thought of something and grinned.

Yes, when he went to rescue people, he said "a cow called for help".
Love.

Her country was located in an oasis in the desert and was smaller than any city in the Frey Empire. Therefore, after the marriage request was agreed, almost the entire country was very happy, as they could exchange an unmarried princess for a considerable dowry from that wealthy country.

Being traded as an item was the reason why Lav was sad. She always cried in the carriage pulled by the lizard.

Because she was born blind, she never thought of herself as a "daughter" from childhood to adulthood, but just a commodity that was difficult to trade. The cold hug from her father before she left was just because he was happy that she had finally been sold. In comparison, the little maids who came with her as a dowry were more sincere and would squeeze out a bite from the few foods for themselves even if they were hit by a storm, for fear that she would starve.

So when everyone was afraid and she was afraid too, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, stood out, and walked towards the villains whom she could not see. She maintained the elegance of a daughter of the desert and spoke calmly, but secretly grabbed the hem of her skirt, almost wrung out water.

Unexpectedly, the villain came up and lifted her veil.

Oh no, this is going to be a rape!

Wouldn't the other person be about to slide his fingers across her cheek in the next second and say, "Hehehe, you little girl are quite pretty"?

Lav became even more frightened, not knowing how she would be treated. However, the other party did not even touch her, but just said that they would be imprisoned for a period of time. Of course, she could not resist, so Lav could only let the other party arrange for her entourage to find a place to stay.

The maid said that they were met by a group of bandits, but luckily it wasn't that bad.

But Lav had a pair of very sensitive ears. The other party's voice floated down from such a high place, and his steps were earth-shaking. What kind of bandit was that? It was obvious that he had encountered a big demon. Did he think she was stupid?

But it's really not that bad.

It was difficult for her companions to hunt in this land, but here she could eat her fill every day, and no matter how bad the weather was, it did not affect her. This was not her special treatment. All the companions lived quite well, which could be seen from their conversations. The tone of their voices when they were chatting gradually became happy and relaxed.

The big guy named Angeli chatted with her most often.

It must be a very scary monster, but Raph couldn't see it anyway, and Angeli's deep voice sounded quite honest, so they immediately became familiar with each other.

Sometimes she would ask him about the Frey Empire, and he would hem and haw about it, and Raph would know it was bullshit because it sounded exactly like the descriptions in the cheap picture books that had been read to her.

Love would also talk about her own things, such as her small hometown, monotonous food, monotonous entertainment, and monotonous life.

A few days later, a playground appeared nearby. She sat sideways on a strange thing called a 'seesaw', rising and falling, with her skirt flying up and down as she screamed.

The man who had never even held her hand but gradually became inseparable from her took her to play with all these strange things. Those were the happiest days of her life.

So one day, she tentatively made a request.

"Mr. Angeli, can I go to see the sea with you?"

The other party did not answer immediately, which made her feel a little disappointed, but after that, when she was sitting on the bench in the playground and swinging her legs boredly, she would hear the sound of something huge violently turning over the soil. Those sounds were simply terrifying, like a monster destroying the ground.

However, realizing what the other party was doing, Love thought that this might be the most beautiful ocean wave she had ever heard in her life.

She was in a very good mood that day. Wow, the time for the marriage had been agreed upon a long time ago, but there was nothing she could do. Now she was a prisoner and could only be imprisoned here obediently.

She was in such a good mood until that day when Angeli suddenly let her go.

Lav's memory of that day was already very vague. She felt confused and had no idea what that guy was thinking. She could only stay calm and say goodbye to him.

Later, she came to the Frey Empire and heard about its prosperity that she could never imagine in her lifetime. It was even more exaggerated than what Angeli had told her.

But after seeing the prosperity of the big city, Lavu was not very happy. Instead, she was thinking about going back to play on the seesaw. So she laughed for the first time in the carriage and she made up her mind to do something big.

Finally she met Gagang. This newly-appointed king was still a younger brother to Lav, so she put on a tough attitude like an elder sister and told him that the marriage was off and she was not happy about it!
Gargan didn't lack such a woman, but the Frey Empire couldn't let such a small country break off the engagement. Just because of such a face-saving reason, Raph was casually thrown into a room in the deepest part of the royal city.

It's been decades.

Over the years, Lavu tried to escape, but even the concubines with normal bodies couldn't escape, let alone a blind woman like her.

Later, she was no longer young and no longer tried to escape. She just silently missed the seesaw in the simple playground in her heart, even though she was no longer qualified to wear the skirt that fluttered up and down in the wind.

Decades are too long for humans.

Long enough to completely kill a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love and turn her into a little old lady waiting to die.

At the end of her life, the little old lady only had one small wish, which was to see the "bad guy" one last time.

In the first half of her life, she was a defective commodity waiting to be sold. In the second half of her life, she was casually thrown into a dim room and withered alone. Only in those few months was she truly happy, blooming like a desert flower, so she wanted to say thank you.

I don’t know if you like me, and I don’t even know if I like you. I’m too old, so old that even these emotions are blurred, but I’m really grateful. It’s great to have met you.

Raph turned around and retraced his steps, facing away from the sea, heading straight for Angri.

Seeing her turn back, Angeri seemed to be scared and subconsciously took two steps back. Finally, he gritted his teeth and tensed his body to remain motionless until Lav walked in front of him. She reached out her hand, groped, and placed it on his leg, as if she was holding on to a heavy wall.

At this moment, Angel's nervous expression was like that of a child, but Lav's expression did not show any surprise. She just breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand as if she wanted a hug. She was actually like a child as well.

Angeli's tension eased, and then he was confused. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. He picked her up in a very stiff manner and let her sit on his hands.

Without any conversation, Raph pointed in the direction of the sea, and Angeli understood.

At the end of summer, the sun was still poisonous, or in other words, it was still bright. The bright sunshine fell on the sea, making the ripples look like thousands of fish scales, which sparkled and pushed towards them countless times, making a rustling sound. Angeli closed his eyes, wanting to feel what Lav heard at this moment. He heard it. The wind and waves overlapped, the fish repeatedly jumped out of the sea, and the whistle of a super-large merchant ship in the distance gradually became louder. In a few minutes, the waves it brought would sweep the beach under their feet, making the sand that did not belong to the desert moist, just like Lav's tears at this moment.

Angeli felt calm inside, even his breathing became steady.

And Raph quietly leaned against Angeli's chest, listening to the sound of his breath blowing gently over her old body.

In Love's heart, this is the tide that brings her peace.

"Thank you," she said softly.

She is dead.
