Xi Ning wanted Lin An to sit down to eat together, but he expected that he would not agree. There were so many people here that it was inconvenient for him to take off his mask, so Xi Ning took the largest bowl, filled it with rice and many other vege, and handed it to Lin An who was behind him.

“Go somewhere else to eat and come back to me after you finish eating,” Xi Ning admitted to being very considerate. “Eat slowly, don’t rush.”

Although he didn’t really regard Lin An as a servant, he didn’t act too obviously, not to mention that so many people were watching, anyway, since the journey was still long, it would be good to change his attitude slowly.

Lin An took the bowl and chopsticks, and left the dining shed in response.

The dwarf buried his head in half of his meal, and then raised his head to talk to Xi Ning as if nothing was wrong, “Your Highness, are you not bored of eating these vegetarian dishes every day? Would you like to try this one?”

The dwarf is small, but he had a big appetite. Xi Ning glanced at the large piece of beef in front of him, shook his head and refused, “No need.”

The dwarf felt that most of the forest elf’s body was full of leaves anyway, but he didn’t dare to say this. Seeing that Xi Ning was no longer angry because of what happened just now, he couldn’t help but curiously asked, “Your Highness, is that your new servant? You are so kind to him.”

“Yeah,” Xi Ning took a mouthful of green vegetable porridge, “he’s mine, you can’t bully him.”

The dwarf muttered of course not, and then said with a smile, “When you enter the ghost forest, you have to take good care of him. It is very dangerous inside. Ordinary people may not even survive for half a day.”

Xi Ning stared at him for a long time to confirm that he had no malicious intentions, and then reluctantly said thank you.

That night, the carriage finally drove to a town, but the town was relatively small, the pathfinder came back and said, “There are only three large hotels, which are not far apart from each other, and all the free rooms can accommodate up to thirty people.”

Except for a few of these thirty people who will have his own room, the others will share a room as two people. After discussing with the mercenary group commander, His Majesty Ferro decided to bring exactly thirty people into the city, and the others will stay outside the city and wait.

This place is small, so nothing abnormal should happen.

Xi Ning put on a large cloak, and hid his face and hair in the hood, and only Lin An was following him by his side. He and Ferro were arranged to stay in the best hotel, and the room was also the largest. Xi Ning ordered someone to prepare another mattress and bedding, and let Lin An sleep in the same room with him.

“I’ve seen that the people that serve His Majesty Ferro are also like this,” Xi Ning said firmly, “plus the rooms are limited.”

Xi Ning always emphasizes that he has to serve and guard him closely. The current situation is special, and Xi Ning is very insistent on it. Lin An really doesn’t know how the servants of other people act, so he hesitated for a while before agreeing.

Plus it’s not that he doesn’t want to sleep on the ground, he’s just worried that he doesn’t comply with the rules, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

The rest of the people settled their dinner in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Only Xi Ning’s portion was cooked separately and brought to his room. There was no other food for Lin An, so Xi Ning asked Lin An to go downstairs to eat by himself and find the dwarf.

After the little incident at noon, the dwarves had a different attitude towards Lin An. Seeing him walking down the stairs, he waved, “Hi! Little mask!”

After Lin An approached him, he didn’t sit down. The dwarf recalled Xi Ning’s previous action and packed him a bowl of food. Lin An lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, took it and left the hall.

The restaurant and the hotel upstairs are owned by the same owner. Because they have a lot of people, the boss asked the staff to bring a pot of fruit wine to each table.

The fruit wine was also sent to Xi Ning’s room. He opened the lid, it had a strong fruity aroma, with the scent of apples and cherries.

Xi Ning thought it was a drink. After drinking a big glass of it, the system noticed that his body data was abnormal, and quickly stopped him, “Master, this is fruit wine, not a drink.”

“Wine?” Xi Ning pondered for a while, he didn’t taste the wine, but he didn’t dare to drink it anymore.

Lin An returned to the restaurant after having dinner outside. Many people in the restaurant drank the fruit wine, especially the dwarf. He drank two full pots, and his face was already bright red.

The dwarf greeted him, “Little mask, do you want to drink?”

Lin An moved the tip of his nose, frowned and glanced at him, the strange feeling disappeared again, he rejected the dwarf and went up to the third floor alone.
