Chapter 48 - Remuneration

Christie didn't take Freyr directly to warm up but first took her to change clothes.

Because Freyr was only wearing a set of tight leather armor. If it weren't for her windproof cloak, in such cold weather, even if she had extraordinary physical fitness, she would still freeze to death.

And since Christie's body shape was about the same as Freyr's, she took a white fur coat and gave it to her.

Of course, Ron wasn't sure if Angie gave Freyr underwear or the like. After all, he couldn't ask and couldn't ask her to take it off and have a look.

When Ron saw Freyr again in the captain's cabin, the other party had completely changed. Wearing a long white fur coat, it complemented her elegant girlish temperament and couldn't help but make people's eyes shine.

"Wow! This dress really suits you. It's like a goddess, Miss Freyr!" Ron sincerely praised.

Saying that, Ron gave Christie an appreciative look.

Christie smiled knowingly.

After several people sat down, Ron began to make tea.

And Christie chatted with Freyr.

"Miss Freyr, do you feel warm now!"

"Thank you for your help! I feel much warmer! In fact, I still feel a little hot! The thermal insulation measures here are really good. I should have come earlier." Freyr smiled and expressed her gratitude.

"Ha ha!" After hearing this, Ron smiled slightly: "These are all arranged by my wife. The walls of each room are insulated with blankets.

Two iron stove grilles are also arranged for heating. The combination of the two can keep the room at a comfortable temperature all the time."

"And, as you can see, the outside of the iron stove grille is also wrapped with a layer of stone. This not only can prevent fire but also can retain heat. Even if the stove goes out, the temperature will not drop rapidly. The stone will slowly release heat to ensure long-term comfort."

"Of course, there is also a very interesting thing. These iron beams and pots placed on the iron stove grille can boil water, so there is hot water available at any time. Now I will use this hot water to prepare something special for Miss Freyr."

"Miss Freyr, can you smell the fragrance? Why don't you guess what this is?"

When Freyr heard Ron talking endlessly about the humble stove, she was a bit puzzled for a moment and didn't understand what Ron meant.

Later, when she recalled that Ron pointed out in the first sentence that these were all arranged by his wife, she immediately understood.

So she said with a smile: "I can't guess. But I can guess that your wife must be a dexterous person. The layout here really opens my eyes. Although it is simple, it is extremely practical. I am so comfortable that I almost fall asleep."

When Ron heard Freyr praise Christie, he gave Freyr a thumbs up in his heart.

When he praised this broken stove here, wasn't it just to praise Christie?

Of course, doing this is not aimless. It is really out of necessity.

First, when a great beauty suddenly comes to the house, he must show his attitude to Christie.

Otherwise, if Christie thinks wildly, it will not be conducive to family harmony.

Second, he also needs Christie to stand up and entertain this elf lady for him and draw closer to this elf lady.

This is related to whether he can benefit from this elf in the future.

But he couldn't and didn't have time to explain these to Christie.

Therefore, he can only use this clumsy compliment method to show his intentions to Christie.

Christie couldn't understand Ron's thoughts. For her, as long as someone praises her, she is happy.

"Miss Freyr, you are so interesting! Ron asked you to guess because he wants to show off his invented milk coffee."

Christie said with a smile: "But you only praise me!"

As soon as Freyr heard the name of milk coffee, she immediately became interested:

"I'm just telling the truth. However, I have never heard of this kind of tea called milk coffee. I really want to taste it!"

"Believe me, it's really delicious, fragrant and smooth!"

"Fragrant and smooth?"

"Well! If it weren't for the insufficient coffee reserves, I would even want to eat it as a meal!"

"That's too exaggerated!" Freyr opened her mouth wide.

...

Ron listened to the two women chatting non-stop and was extremely embarrassed.

He really didn't understand that when chatting about a cup of coffee, the two could use so many adjectives and so many exaggerated expressions, as if something extremely important had happened.

But in Ron's understanding, normal women should be like this.

Otherwise, like Feli, who is always calculating the future there, like a cold and emotionless machine. Whoever marries her is unlucky.

While the two were chatting, Ron had already cooked milk coffee and brought it to the two of them.

"Please taste it!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

After hearing Christie's praise, Freyr had been impatient for a long time.

As soon as the coffee was served, she immediately took a sip.

"Mmm... fragrant and sweet. It's so delicious!" After taking a sip, Freyr was full of praise:

"Lord Ron, if you don't mind, please teach me how to make milk coffee. I want to take it back to Artoria and let my sisters taste it too."

"Sure! No problem!" Ron smiled: "In fact, because there is no fresh milk here, I can only use milk powder to make it. The taste will be much worse.

When I return to Lane Town someday, I will let you taste the real milk coffee!"

"Really?"

"Sure! You are my friend!"

Ron emphasized again that they were friends. Although the other party didn't admit it, it didn't matter.

But as soon as Freyr heard this, her face became a little distressed and she said carefully:

"I remember you said in the morning that if I come to enjoy the service, I need to pay. But now you call me a friend. Does it mean that I don't need to pay?"

"Uh!" Ron was a bit stunned, but immediately reacted: "So this is how your elves understand friends. But it doesn't matter. You can understand it however you want. This is just a cup of coffee and doesn't need to be paid for!"

As soon as Freyr heard this, her brows wrinkled: "My teacher said that if humans don't want our elves' rewards, then they must have greater intentions. Lord Ron, may I ask what your intention is?"

When Ron heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching. In his heart, he cursed: Your teacher is really talented. How many losses must he have suffered to say such words.

Although Ron knew that he had ulterior motives, how could he admit it.

"I don't know if what your teacher said is right or wrong. But, please rest assured that I am not such a person."

"For me, a friend is a friend and a trade is a trade. These are two different things. The reward I mentioned before refers to a real trade. Obviously, this coffee is not included!"

"Then why did you provide me with clothes, let me warm up, and give me delicious milk coffee? What's your purpose?" Freyr asked sincerely with her big eyes blinking.

Ron smiled bitterly: "I've already said that it's because we are friends. For your elves, maybe everything needs an equivalent exchange. But for us humans, what we provide for you is not worth mentioning at all."

"In fact, I don't want to be friends with you!" Freyr told the truth:

"I am very grateful for everything you have provided for me. For this reason, I have specially prepared a reward."

"Of course, this reward is not the gold coins that you humans like because I don't have any. On the second day after I set foot on the continent, I was cheated of all the gold coins on me by a human."

"Therefore, I can only provide you with a piece of news. But, please believe me, this news may be very important to you. I hope you can agree!"
