The black and white kitten became even more angry when he saw that Matthew not only didn't help him, but actually laughed out loud.
It turned around and jumped directly from Matthew's shoulder and landed on the ground. Then it went directly into the dense woods on the roadside and disappeared.
"Hey!" Sean saw the kitten jump off Matthew's shoulder and hurriedly wanted to get off his horse and chase after him, but Matthew waved his hand to stop him.
"It's okay, she won't be in danger." Matthew said with a smile.
Sean looked at the direction where the kitten was going: "I hope so!"
But seeing Matthew still laughing, Sean was a little confused and asked: "Matthew, why are you laughing?"
Matthew gradually stopped smiling and said to Sean:
"It's nothing, Your Highness Sean, I just thought of some funny things in my hometown."
"Speaking of your hometown, Matthew, where is your hometown?" Sean asked curiously, "Your accent doesn't sound like you are a native of the Principality of Lane!"
"That's right, I'm not a native of Lane, I'm from the Kingdom of Anjou." Matthew replied generously:
"Your city of Vernes in the Principality of Lane has a large oak forest, which specializes in truffles.
In order to eat fresh truffles, I came to the area near the Principality of Lane, and it has been seven or eight years now!"
As Matthew spoke, he showed a nostalgic look.
Really, seven or eight years passed before I knew it.
…
After hearing Sean and Matthew chatting about truffles, Lucio, a foodie not far ahead, also slowed down his horse and gradually walked side by side with Sean and Matthew. At the same time, he said:
"Speaking of truffles, I love them too!
I remember when I was young, my father took me and the sow to look for truffles in the oak forest.
Many truffles were stolen and eaten by sows, so for a long time we were snatching truffles from the pigs' mouths."
Matthew: "..."
Why do you feel that the truffles you have eaten suddenly no longer taste good?
…
Lucio didn't notice Matthew's "sad" expression and continued to ask: "But then again Matthew, the Anjou Kingdom is so big, wouldn't there be no oak forests and no truffles produced?"
"Of course we have oak forests in our country, and there are plenty of them."
"Then why..."
"Sadly, we in the Kingdom of Anjou don't like to eat truffles." Matthew said sadly.
Lucio: "..."
...
In this way, Sean, Lucio and Matthew chatted. With Matthew's high experience bonus, Sean's experience points also began to soar.
Sean's experience value when he went out this morning was level 11, 58/200.
After a morning of chatting, Sean gained 28, 26 and 24 experience points in the first three hours.
At noon, Sean's experience value reached level 11, 136/200.
If nothing else happens, Sean will be able to reach level 12 today.
But unfortunately, the experience gained from communicating with Matthew has been declining, which makes Sean feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, Sean's chat experience with Matthew and Lucio at the same time does not accumulate. It is basically impossible to reach level 13 before reaching the territory.
...
However, during these three hours, Sean and Matthew became more and more interested in talking.
Matthew is well-informed and familiar with the customs and customs of all parts of the world;
Sean is a time traveler with a broad vision, and many of the things he said unintentionally made Matthew's eyes light up.
The time spent chatting with people who talk speculatively is always short, so these three hours passed quickly.
In the meantime, Matthew's black and white kitten came back, barked at Sean and Matthew twice as if to demonstrate, and then stood back on Matthew's shoulder.
...
At 12 noon, the city defense army began to set up camp by the Chenxing River.
The road to Hetan Town was built along the Chenxing River, so it was very convenient for the army to collect water for cooking.
At this time, Matthew was telling Sean about the royal family of the Anjou Kingdom, and Sean was listening carefully.
"Speaking of the royal family of the Anjou Kingdom, that is really a tragedy.
The king of the Kingdom of Anjou is named Harrison Iris. He broke through the Holy Realm thirty years ago, which means he has a lifespan of 500 years."
"Isn't it great to have a life span of 500 years? How can this be considered a tragedy?" Sean didn't understand what Matthew meant.
"Of course the tragedy is not the King of Anjou, but the prince of Anjou, Matthew Iris. He is really a tragedy." Matthew laughed.
"You said this Matthew Iris...can't be you!" Sean joked.
"What do you think? If I were the prince of Anjou, would I accompany you to Hetan Town for a mere 50 gold coins?" Matthew laughed out loud.
Just when Matthew said this, the black and white kitten on his shoulder looked at Matthew with disdain, then turned around and stopped looking at Matthew.
Sean didn't notice the look in Kitten's eyes and said, "I was just joking, go on, what's wrong with His Royal Highness?"
"How old do you think this Crown Prince is?"
"How could I guess this..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already seventy-one years old this year."
"Oh my God! A prince in his seventies! This is too miserable!"
Sean was speechless. The magical color of this world is so strong. If it were in the previous life, it would be hard to imagine that there would be a person in the world who is over 70 years old and is still a prince.
"The worst thing is not this, but the fact that His Highness the Prince's talent may not break through the Holy Realm in his lifetime.
In other words, he can only live to be one hundred and fifty years old at most, and will never be the king of the Anjou Kingdom. Do you understand this feeling?"
"Of course I understand."
Sean straightened his face, put on a very serious expression, and then said: "Then the King of Anjou will definitely say to the prince: 'One day, my life will reach its end, and you will be crowned king.
!'"
"Haha, yes, that's what it feels like!" Matthew suddenly laughed so hard that he fell on his back, causing the kitten on his shoulder to scream angrily a few more times.
…
Just when Sean and Matthew were talking happily, Lucio, who had arranged for the soldiers to be stationed, walked towards Matthew and Sean with a depressed look on his face:
"Your Highness Sean, Matthew, now that the soldiers have started cooking, you two will just have to eat a little.
Although it’s not very delicious, it’s still okay to be full.”
At this time, Matthew said: "How can this kind of big pot rice be delicious? How about we go into the nearby woods to catch some pheasants, rabbits and so on?"
"I've thought about this too, but I'm not very good at barbecue, Matthew, can you?" Lucio looked at Matthew longingly.
"Of course! As an adventurer, barbecue is my instinct!
Don’t worry, you’ll be satisfied with the taste!” Matthew replied, patting his chest.
"That's great! Let's go catch game right now!"
Lucio said as he took off the armor he was wearing, revealing the leather armor lining, "It will be more convenient to hunt with just leather armor."
At this time, Matthew rolled his eyes and said to Lucio: "Sir Lucio, does anyone among your knights know how to swim?"
"Of course, why do you ask?"
"Let the retinue knight, who has fighting spirit and can swim, go catch some fish. We can grill the fish later." Matthew said while glancing at the black and white kitten on his shoulder.
