Chapter 5 Now that Things Have Come to This, Let’s Eat First

Field added modern elements to the maid outfit. The hem of the skirt was cut above the knee, and the sleeves were changed to short sleeves. Although there was no most important black or white silk, looking at the crystal round toes and smooth white thighs was already pleasing to the eye.

"It fits well." Ashina couldn't stand the torture of speculation, and said with a joking tone, as if she saw through Field's purpose, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

The maids said that her job was to sleep with the man in front of her. But Ashina thought it was unlikely, because humans hated sub-humans, and they had animal ears and tails, which made humans feel that this was human blood tainted by animals, just like the devil hybrid born after plotting against goats.

"Of course it's to help me expand my territory, I just said it." Field answered as a matter of course. Seeing Ashina's face of disbelief, he had to cover his forehead and said helplessly, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk while eating."

Hearing about eating, Ashina immediately calmed down, her stomach was burning with hunger.

Field's situation was difficult. Just because of his behavior, being hated by his brothers and sisters was nothing.

But the old earl's health was getting worse day by day, and the huge wealth in his hands was going to be distributed. Even if Field was not favored, the law of the Holy Griffin Empire stipulated that as long as the direct bloodline was, there was the right to distribute the property.

It was equivalent to the other world version of the Enfeoffment Order, which divided large territories into small pieces to prevent a certain lord from being too powerful.

Therefore, Field's brothers naturally hoped that Field would ascend to heaven on the spot, and they also hated and hostile each other.

Shortly after the dinner bell rang, two dignified maids came in with sauced steaks and honey bread.

"Ashina, you have... Hey, where are you?"

Field, who was choosing his words, found that Asina was gone in a blink of an eye, and his face was immediately confused.

"I'm here."

Asina sat quietly on the ground in the corner of the wall in a duck-like posture.

"What are you doing?" Field said in shock.

"Uh... sit down... wait for dinner, sir, did I do anything wrong?" Ashina became nervous again.

Field strode forward, grabbed her hand, and led her to the table: "Sit on the chair, eat now."

Ashina only dared to sit on one-third of the stool. She stared at Field for a long time to make sure that the noble lord in front of her did not take out a whip or a meat whip.

"You are not kidding, can I eat this?" Ashina pointed to the fragrant steak.

Field spread his hands: "Of course."

The poor beast-eared girl saw that Field did not seem to be joking, so she carefully lowered her head and took a bite of the steak. The next moment, the smell of meat with spices and sauce bloomed in her mouth, and the taste buds that had not tasted meat for a long time were dancing wildly.

This is the most beautiful thing in the world!

Putting everything behind her, Ashina quickly swallowed the steak on the plate and licked the soup clean.

Afterwards, Ashina ate three steaks and five white breads by herself. Finally, her stomach became as if she was pregnant, so she gave up eating.

Field showed a kind smile like an old father.

Hehehe, eat, eat, and work hard for me in the future.

"Huh, now I am willing to die." Ashina licked the soup from the corner of her mouth, and her two wolf ears stood up very energetically.

"That's not the case. I hope to train you into a chosen one." Field crossed his fingers and leaned on the chair.

Of course, he would not be honest enough to reveal that Ashina was a chosen one who had not yet awakened, but used the word "training".

"Ah? Then you may be disappointed. The probability of being a chosen one is very small, and I am a subhuman. I have never heard of rumors that humans and subhumans have signed contracts." Ashina replied weakly.

According to the records in the book, the more prosperous the city, the more likely it is to have a chosen one. But even in Golden Eagle City, there have been only three chosen ones in the past hundred years, two of whom are children of nobles and one is a clergyman.

Even fewer subhumans become the Chosen Ones. They don't have a strong country or a prosperous city, and it's hard for them to even reach the poverty line.

Field chuckled and said, "How do you know if you don't try? I believe I can train you to be the Chosen One."

If he fails to train you, he will probably die in the cursed land.

"Well, if there is meat to eat." Asina licked her lips with satisfaction.

The next ten days were spent quickly on the road. In order to supplement Asina's nutrition, Field would buy a lot of meat and magic potion supplements every time he passed a city.

Asina soon realized that Field was not joking.

In addition, Field bought fog lights, purification potions and awakening crystals worth 150 gold coins. Field did his homework. These magic props are essential supplies for the development of the Night Territory.

Soon they arrived at the last fortress leading to the Northern Province.

The Kashan Fortress of the Bull Baron, a stone castle built on the high mountains, can resist the corrupted creatures, monsters and terrible orcs from the North.

"Goddess of Winter, bless me and let me become the chosen one!" Asina hid in the creaking carriage and silently prayed to the wolf gods. These days made Asina feel like she was dreaming.

She could sit in a noble carriage, eat delicious steaks, and even have the care and service of maids, although they were not willing and often complained.

But these days were like heaven. As she was thinking, Asina touched her forehead to make sure that she didn't have a fever that damaged her brain.

The only thing that was difficult for her to understand was that Field would buy precious potions for her to drink. She had never heard of the Chosen One being able to eat potions.

"Maybe it's an evil ritual." Ashina muttered, "But even if it's really sacrificed to the devil, it seems to be worth it. Bah, bah, bah, what am I talking about!"

"Hey, I really hope that I am really the chosen one, otherwise Baron Field will be so angry that he faints, right?" Asina could only pray silently.

Kao, the butler, sighed in despair: "Hey, I didn't expect that the last time I came to Kashan Fortress would be like this."

Field ignored the guy's sighs, sat on the horse, gently poked the butler's shoulder with his riding crop, and asked curiously: "Have you often come to Kashan Fortress before?"

Kaa rolled his eyes: "No, you always donate your living expenses to the villagers here, or send them to the Bull Baron's small treasury, so that he and his soldiers can eat, drink and have fun."

"Uh, okay." Field's mouth twitched, forgetting that the original owner was a good person. He smiled awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders unnaturally, "At least the Bull Baron will welcome us, right? The locals will also praise us. It will be much easier for us to enter and leave Kashan Fortress in the future.”
