Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 153 There are no bad people who like shrimp

In the end, Bai Shi finally brought Patch with him.

There's no other way. We can't just leave this guy like this.

Bai Shi took out a rope and tied up Patch's hands.

Then he rode Torret in front, with Patch chasing behind.

Torrett slowed down to almost a walking pace so that Patch could keep up with them.

But even so, Patch was still exhausted and out of breath, and had to stop to rest from time to time.

But fortunately, the journey is not very far.

When Patch took his last break, Bai Shi and the others could already see the dilapidated house.

When he saw the house, Patch finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If he doesn't get there soon, he might lose his life.

Although he also wondered if he could sit on the horse, which would undoubtedly make things much easier.

But Bai Shi said that Torret didn't want Patch to sit on it.

Patch spat at the tree nearby.

what?

You are just a horse, yet you dare to look down on me.

But Patch thought that Bai Shi just didn't want him to sit.

After all, it's too ridiculous for a horse to tell Bai Shi that it doesn't want to be ridden by him.

Can people really communicate with animals?
But Patch was indeed wrongly accused this time.

Torrett didn't want someone he didn't like to sit on him, and he just conveyed this to Bai Shi.

But Bai Shi didn't want the dirty Patch to sit on it.

So I had to let Patch down a bit.

However, as a prisoner who escaped without permission, he brought this upon himself.

Bai Shi pulled the rope, reminding Patch that it was time to set off.

Patch followed reluctantly, and if he wasn't urged, he would just stay.

This hut is relatively intact among the many ruins in Lienia.

Not only can it protect against wind and rain, but it can also be seen above water without being soaked in water.

When they arrived at the hut, they smelled a fragrance.

Following the scent, the two came to the front of the cabin.

There was no one there, but there was a huge pot, and the fragrance was wafting from it.

Patch walked up and lifted the lid of the pot.

The pot was filled with red crabs and lobsters. There was no seasoning, and just simple boiling gave off a rich aroma.

Sure enough, the highest quality ingredients only require the simplest cooking.

When Patch saw the shrimps and crabs cooking in the pot, he sat down without hesitation and started eating.

"Oh? I didn't expect to find cooked shrimps and crabs here."

"Oh, how lucky I am. I'm a little hungry."

"In that case, I'll start without further ado."

Seeing that he didn't consider himself an outsider at all, Bai Shi couldn't help but complain:
"It's obvious that someone lives here. It's not like you picked it up."

While Patch was stuffing the lobster into his mouth, he was also peeling a crab that was difficult to open.

He mumbled something incoherently:

"It doesn't matter. Once I see it, it's mine."

Bai Shi shrugged.

Patch has already started eating it, so there's no reason to take the shrimp out of his mouth.

At worst, I can wait until Brother Xia comes and pay the money again.

Although Bai Shi also wanted to taste the lobsters and crabs from the border area, he would not eat them by himself before meeting someone.

His principle is to at least wait until you meet the owner of the food before eating it.

Otherwise, you will be turned into a pig because of eating strange food (definitely).

Hearing the noise outside, a figure rushed out of the hut.

It was the owner of the hut and the pot, the gangster that Laya mentioned: Brother Shrimp.

Wearing an iron mask covering his entire head and boxing gloves on his hands, Brother Xia appeared in front of the two men.

Brother Shrimp stretched out his hand and pointed his boxing gloves at Patch's bald head, roaring:

"Hey! Who are you? And why are you eating my shrimps and crabs!?"

However, Patch ignored him and continued eating, not forgetting to say a few words to Brother Shrimp:
"You kid, it's your honor to have me eat your food!"

Brother Xia was wearing a prisoner's iron mask on his head, so his expression could not be seen.

But his trembling body showed that he was angry.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I am known as the 'Fooling Giant Monster', a felon in the royal city of Rodel!"

Patch glanced at him disdainfully.

He has seen many people like this.

He clearly has no special abilities, but he brags about himself based on some insignificant deeds.

And that mask, you could have taken it off a long time ago, but why do you think it looks good while you're wearing it?

He is just wearing this mask that symbolizes a prisoner to bluff.

He doesn't even dare to brag big, and he's still trying to "fool the monster". His taste is too low.

To deal with this kind of person, you have to be better at bluffing than him and directly overwhelm his momentum!

And the Pachi in front of Bai Shi is a genius in this area!
"Haha, you are the only one who is trying to 'fool the giant monster'? Why don't you ask about the name of this uncle, Patch?"

Patch had an evil smile on his face, and his mouth was crooked with laughter.

He put down the crab in his hand and cleared his throat:

"Listen to me, you little nameless punk!"

"I am the giant demon killer, the mysterious businessman, the natural enemy of the dead born, the one who can dig all the mines in one day, and the part-time savior, Crazy Patch!"

Bai Shi almost couldn't hold back when he heard Patch calling out such a long list of names.

I don't know how Patch managed to be so serious and report these titles that have almost nothing to do with him.

And the giant monster killer was obviously thought of after hearing the name of the opponent.

The two that are slightly related are merchants and mining.

However, Brother Xia was frightened by him.

He was just 'fooling the giant demon', but the person on the other side was actually a 'giant demon killer'!
"Even if that's the case, you can't eat my shrimp!"

But Shrimp Brother's intelligence is normal after all, and he quickly realized that Patch was bluffing just like him.

"No, there's a manuscript next to you. Where did you get this miner from?"

Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Patch dropped the crab shell in his hand.

"Huh? Then do you know who this person next to me is!?"

Seeing that Patch was about to pull him into it, Bai Shi quickly coughed twice to stop Patch.

"Cough cough."

Two drops of cold sweat appeared on Patch's head.

'Oops, oops, I got carried away again.'

"No matter who you are, you bastard, how dare you steal my shrimp? I will definitely beat you up!"

Brother Shrimp has raised his fist, ready to compete with Patch.

"Who told you I was cheating?"

Patch remained calm and stuffed the crab meat into his mouth.

If they really wanted to fight, they would have started without any explanation.

So, gangsters are just gangsters.

"How to say?"

Shrimp Brother stopped and waited for Patch to give him a convincing explanation.

Patch pulled another boiling lobster out of the pot and started to peel it.

"I did say, 'I'm starting.'"

"Bastard! I'll kill you!" Patch's bald head and Shrimp's iron mask stuck together, and the two men glared at each other.

Bai Shi didn't say anything and just watched them interacting from the side.

As the saying goes, it takes evil to deal with evil.

In front of Patch, small hooligans like Brother Xia are nothing.

Now it seems that it is indeed effective.

Bai Shi interrupted their continued interaction:

"Have you ever seen a girl before?"

"He was wearing a green robe and had yellow hair. He looked young."

After listening to Bai Shi's description, Brother Xia also knew why they came.

"Hey, so you know that woman."

"It doesn't look like she died on the side of the road..."

"No need to continue. Since she is still alive, no matter what happens to her, it is the fault of the deceived person."

Bai Shi looked at him silently.

After experiencing so many battles of blood and fire, Bai Shi naturally accumulated an extremely powerful aura.

When Brother Xia met Bai Shi's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything for a moment.

Although that look was calm, in Brother Xia's opinion, it was more terrifying and scary than a hundred thousand ogres.

The bluffing toughness of Brother Xia was broken:

"Qi, if you want the necklace, just take out Rune!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that his back was already wet with cold sweat.

Bai Shi smiled and said, "That's good enough as long as you are willing to speak up."

As for Rune, it's no big deal.

"Okay, then what's your price?"

"Also, the necklace is still with you, right?"

Brother Xia took off his boxing gloves and fumbled to take out the necklace.

"Of course...eh, eh?"

However, no matter how he searched through his simple clothes, he could not find the necklace he was wearing.

Patch laughed wantonly and waved the necklace in his hand.

"Are you looking for this?"

Patch looked at the necklace in her hand, which had a relief of an awe-inspiring exotic woman.

Patch was stunned for a moment, blinked, then looked twice.

Not only Brother Xia, Bai Shi was also surprised.

Although he didn't notice, Patch actually took the necklace away in front of him?

"give me back!"

Shrimp reached out to grab it back, but Patch pulled his hand away and he missed.

"Haha, it's yours, so I'll give it back to you?"

"Then pay!"

"Huh? I stole something with my own strength, why should I pay for it?"

Brother Xia couldn't hold it in any longer and roared.

"Fuck you! I can't stand it anymore, come and fight if you dare!"

"Hehe, who's afraid of who? I don't take you, a little rascal, seriously."
-
The two men agreed to fight and started fighting at the back of the cabin.

The process is unknown, only the sound of flesh colliding can be heard from time to time.

...and some meaningless shouting.

"Ah, stand still!"

"Ha! I'm going to kill you!"

Bai Shi had no interest in this kind of fight between two noobs, so he did not go to watch.

I sat down and picked up a lobster, tasted it, and it was indeed quite good.

The meat is very firm and there is a lot of meat.

Should I say it's worthy of such a big lobster? If I boil the giant lobster I just knocked down, I can't imagine how much meat it will have.

It tastes very delicious, and even if it is boiled in water, it still has a hint of sweetness.

But after a moment, the two of them came back arm in arm.

The mood changed drastically, completely different from before.

"Oh, Brother Patch, I didn't expect to meet someone like you today!"

"Haha, don't say anything. I will protect you from now on."

When the two people with bruises all over their bodies sat down, Bai Shi spoke with some doubt:
"it's over?"

Brother Xia took the lead and said:
"Brother Patch and I didn't know each other until we fought. I only regret that we met too late."

"Haha, I'll be the one protecting this guy from now on. I can definitely turn Lienia into a shrimp paradise."

"Hey, Brother Patch, you are so polite. By the way, you are Brother Patch's elder brother, right? Please feel free to eat the shrimps and crabs here."

Bai Shi was stunned.

Patch, what on earth did you feed him?

"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't very polite to you earlier."

"But, as expected, there are no bad people who like shrimp."

Bai Shi interrupted Brother Xia and tried to get things back on track:
"Stop, stop."

"In that case, tell me why you stole the necklace from that girl."

Brother Xia touched the iron mask and said:
"Haha, she came over to eat the shrimp I cooked, and I thought it was okay."

"She ended up eating a lot. You don't know how big her appetite is."

"In that case, I must collect some runes, but she said she didn't have any runes."

"That girl is very strange. I can't really describe how I feel about her."

"I didn't want to get involved with her any more, so I found a random excuse to cheat her out of her necklace and then drove her away."

Patch hit him hard on the head:
"You're such a jerk that you even steal children's things!"

"How many runes can you get by robbing a kid? Go rob the wandering nobles instead. Those guys are the ones that are taking advantage of you!"

Brother Xia suddenly understood and seemed to be talking about this.

Bai Shi reached out to Patch.

Patch reacted and handed the necklace to Bai Shi reluctantly.

Bai Shi placed the necklace in front of his eyes and examined it carefully for a while.

The necklace is exquisitely crafted and features a relief sculpture of a woman.

This is a beautiful exotic woman with an extraordinary temperament.

Bai Shi knew that this was the current mistress of the Volcano Mansion, Lakkad's concubine Tanis.

Looking at the beautiful woman carved on the necklace, Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh that Tanis still had her charm.

No wonder Lakkad took her as his concubine despite her identity as a dancer.

But what's with Patch's reaction?

You wouldn't be interested in her just by looking at the relief on the necklace, right?
Bai Shi shook his head. It should be unlikely.

"Okay, in that case, let's go back too."

"If you want to find Patch later, you can go to Stonevale."

"Bring your shrimp and crabs, they might be popular."

Brother Xia is just a small gangster and has not done any serious evil.

In the game, his last words were that he wanted to walk on the right path, so it’s not impossible for Bai Shi to give him a chance.

Bai Shi left behind a gold rune 6, worth two thousand runes, which was more than enough to buy the shrimp and necklace that had been eaten.

Brother Xia was a little overwhelmed holding this huge rune that he had never seen before.

Finally, I watched the two people leave one after another.

He made a decision silently in his heart:
If I could be a stable cook, it wouldn't be such a bad thing, right?
This will also allow more people to know the deliciousness of shrimps and crabs.

　The revelation of Lao Tou Huan is really quite powerful. I can't tell the difference between the real and fake classics on the Internet. I really can't tell them apart! Let's wait until the 21st to see the real situation.
