The gourmet among pirates

Today, all the trees in Pompeii have sprouted new buds.

······

After exercising for two hours, the sky turned white.

Maureen walked out of the yard and bought a lot of food from a nearby breakfast shop.

After returning home and taking a simple shower, the large pot of "green vegetable and lean meat porridge" he had cooked in the morning was freshly baked.

After greeting James who had already gotten up, Emily had breakfast.

Maureen went to the shopping street to pick out some gifts for Bellemere, and then went to St. Paul's Hospital where Bellemere was staying.

According to the sect mentioned by James, Maureen came to the door of room 3021 and knocked on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Please come in!"

Room 3021 is a high-end ward of St. Paul's Hospital. Although it is not a special ward prepared for the nobles of the kingdom, it is still a small independent ward.

If it weren't for Maureen's father, James, who is now the vice president of St. Paul's Hospital, none of the Bellemere family would be admitted to this ward.

Open the door.

What caught Maureen's eye was a ward that was neither big nor small.

A little girl with short orange hair was lying restlessly on the hospital bed with an intravenous drip on. Next to her, a little girl with blue hair was lying on the edge of the bed, looking at her sister quietly.

On the other side of the hospital bed, wearing a light blue plaid shirt, long maroon hair tied into a single ponytail, clean and neat, with no makeup on her fair face, but still radiant, Bellemere was looking at her with a smile on her face. daughter.

When she turned around and saw Mo Lin walking in, she was stunned on the spot.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar Bellmere in front of her, Molin smiled and said, "What's wrong, Sister Bell, you don't recognize me anymore?"

"Mo...Molin!!! Is it really you?"

"Isn't it me?"

After placing the gift he bought for Bellemere on the table next to him, Maureen took out the two plush toys that the children liked and handed them to Nami and Nokigao.

Faced with two exquisite plush toys, Nojiko and Nami, who had never owned such toys before, both had a hint of desire in their eyes, but no one reached out to take Morin's gift.

Instead, they turned together and looked at their mother, Bellmère.

Seeing the longing in the eyes of his two daughters, Bellemeier laughed and said, "Take it if you like it. This is your Uncle Molin, a rich man. Don't be polite to him."

After hearing Bellemere's words, Nami and Nokigaoka each took two big furry toys.

After giving the gift, Mo Lin sighed: "Well, if I'm not careful, I will become an uncle-level figure."

Bellmere couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "How young do you think you are? You are already in your twenties. If you were in our village, people like you would be called old bachelors."

After teasing Molin, the strangeness between Bellemere and Molin suddenly disappeared a lot.

It's like going back to the past.

"Oh, by the way, I don't know if you guys had breakfast, but I bought some on the way."

As he spoke, Molin handed the breakfast in another bag to Bellemere.

Gulu!

After smelling the food, Nami and Nokigao's stomachs growled unsatisfactorily.

"I haven't eaten yet. It seems I bought it at the right time!"

After giving it to Bellemere and asking her to distribute it, Maureen chatted with Bellemere for a few words and left the ward.

"Wait, Maureen!"

Not long after he walked out of the ward, Bellemere caught up with him from behind.

Looking at Bellmere who was catching up, Molin turned around and said, "What's wrong, Sister Bell."

"Come on, let's talk somewhere else!"

······

On the rooftop of St. Paul's Hospital, Maureen and Bellemeier stood on the rooftop, looking at the rising roofs, blowing the cool breeze, and looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, it was Bellemere who broke the silence.

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the follower who followed me would become a powerful navy man, able to drive back a big pirate with a bounty of more than one billion. Your current strength, even if it is placed in the navy headquarters, is It should be among the best!"

Mo Lin shook his head: "It's still early!"

Bellmere smiled noncommittally and thanked Molin seriously: "This time, I really want to thank you! If it weren't for your help, I really can't imagine what would happen to me after losing Nami."

"Also." Bellemere gritted his teeth and said, "It may take me a few years to repay you for Nami's medical expenses this time. I have already spent all my savings to treat Nami. Now I ·······”

As a single mother who became a monk on the way, Bellemeier's life was not rich, and could even be said to be in poverty.

Chapter 75: Insect Plague

Even though Bellemere scraped together things and tried her best to cultivate an orange orchard, she still had a hard life with two children to take care of.

In the past, her friend Ajian helped pay for Nami's medical treatment and the doctor's fees.

If Molin hadn't hired someone to take him all the way to and from the hospital, and James had advanced Bellemere's medical expenses for Molin's sake after entering the hospital, I'm afraid Bellemere would have been living on the streets.

But even so, the money he had left was less than three thousand beli.

With this little money, one could not survive even a few days in the royal capital of Pompeii, even if one lived frugally.

Facing Bellemeier, who had his head lowered, eyes evasive, and a little embarrassed, Maureen circled around Bellemere.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Sister Bell to be shy. When you beat me up, I didn't even see you hesitate. You know, it was my first confession!"

Belmel hammered on Molin's chest. "You are embarrassed to say, it's going to die! At that time, I confessed in front of so many people, and I didn't beat you to you."

Maureen let out a scream in response.

"Well, is this the Sister Bei Er in my impression? She is heroic and informal."

"As for the medical expenses you mentioned, isn't this a slap in the face? I remember you saved my life several times when I first went to the battlefield. What, do you still want me to pay for those life-saving graces? Dream on you!”

······

After some rough and tumble, Maureen and Bellemere became quite familiar with each other, as if they were back to the beginning.

Looking at the increasingly lively Royal Capital, Molin said to Bellemere: "By the way, I stuffed one million Baileys into the red gift box. When you go back, watch carefully and don't lose it. "

One million Baileys.

Upon hearing this, Bellmère immediately wanted to say something.

She felt that she already owed Molin a lot and didn't want to accept the money.

But before she could speak, she was interrupted by Mo Lin.

"Don't think too much, this money is not for you, it's for Nami and Nokigao. It's hard to come to the royal capital. After Nami recovers her health, she will take them out and have a nice walk. Buy some food and drink, don’t let these two little guys have regrets in their childhood!”

Hearing this, Bellemere thought of Nami and Nokigao, who had followed her since childhood and had not lived a good life for a few days. Although he was a little sad, he still shook his head firmly:

"No, you have already helped me so much. I cannot accept this money. After Nami recovers from her illness, I will naturally take them to visit the capital, but this will not cost any money."

Mo Lin said angrily: "No, it's still an affair. If you hadn't rejected my confession back then, Nokigao and Nami would have been able to call me daddy."

"If I'm not wrong, both of them must be survivors of the battle in Watanabe Town in the Kingdom of Oiket. I also participated in that battle. Actually, it was us who failed to protect them."

"However, some time ago, I avenged them. The culprit of that battle, Sea Urchin Mo's brother, was killed by me."

Bellemare turned his head immediately after hearing this, looked at Molin and asked, "Is it really him?"

"Of course, I won't admit my mistake and almost kill my enemy."

"Very good,······"

After hearing the news of Brother Modelo's death, Bellmere seemed to have untied a knot in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

After Maureen's persuasion, Bellemare finally reluctantly accepted the one million Baileys.

After Maureen left St. Paul's Hospital, she also had two goddaughters inexplicably.

······

Walking on the streets of Pompeii, Molin was a little hungry and wanted to buy something to eat.

The streets suddenly became chaotic.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Military emergency, get out of the way."

"・・・"

There was a sound of horse hooves, and a small group of cavalry, after slightly reducing their speed, started galloping on this relatively wide Mercury Street.

Suddenly, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs, and people fell on their backs.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen were shouting from a distance.

Although people on the street were still upset, at least there were no casualties.

Looking at the palace guards passing by, Mo Lin frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

······

Half an hour later.

In the palace of the Kingdom of Ouikot, the king in his prime, Jozeras V, looked angrily at the captain of the Kingdom Guard who reported to him.

"Everyone is a loser. An army of 3,000 people, plus three large warships and seven medium-sized warships, failed to kill a single insect. Instead, they were killed. You, are you all a bunch of trash?" ·······”

In anger, Jozeras V kicked over the antique vase beside him, grabbed an object, and smashed the heads of those people below.

boom!

The object thrown by Jozeras V did not hit anyone, but the sound of a vase breaking made the kneeling people tremble.

At this time, the Kingdom's Minister of State came forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Now that things have happened, no matter how angry we are, it will not help. The most important thing for us now is to deal with the monster. Otherwise, once the monster comes out, If we do, our entire Ouikot Kingdom will face catastrophe.”

breathe!

breathe!

After taking a deep breath, Jozeras V suppressed his anger and barely regained his composure. He said coldly: "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, now that monster is about to be born, and we, the Kingdom of Oykot, will no longer be the only ones to face difficulties. In this case, why don't we simply report it to the World Government and let them send people to solve the problem on that island? What about that monster? After all, our expensive 'heavenly gold' cannot be paid in vain every year, right?"

"Report to the World Government?" Jozeras V pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Although it would be a bit embarrassing to do so, and the amount of ‘Heavenly Gold’ would even increase next year, Jozeras V no longer cares about that.

After all, if those monsters were allowed to wreak havoc in the Kingdom of Ouikot, not only would his people suffer heavy losses, but the Kingdom of Ouikot would also have no food harvest this year.

At that time, it was a real desperate situation for Jozeras V.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"

The Minister of State nodded and bowed: "As you command, Your Majesty."

After giving instructions to the Minister of State, Jozeras V said to the Minister of Military Affairs: "We don't know when the World Government's resources will arrive. During this period, we cannot do nothing."

"Minister of Military Affairs, you personally lead the team and organize the army to hunt down the mutated giant locust eggs in the fields and forests. We must not let the insect plague sweep across the kingdom."

Chapter 76: Cheating your son with confidence.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

After the military minister retreats.

King Jozeras V finally hesitated for a long time before saying to the Minister of Propaganda: "Get ready and tell my people about this!"

The Minister of Propaganda was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "No, Your Majesty. If this matter spreads throughout the country, it will definitely cause panic among the people and cause unnecessary turmoil. Maybe it will also attract those bedbugs." The same revolutionary army came to attack our Ouikot Kingdom."

"Huh, so what about the revolutionary army? Am I still afraid of these bugs? I am the king of this country!"

"As for the people of the Ouikot Kingdom panicking, it is better than them not knowing what is going on, causing greater turmoil, or even losing their lives in vain."

"Okay, you don't need to say more." Jozeras V waved his hand, "Just do as I say."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Propaganda could only smile bitterly and say "yes".
