Plans To Open A Restaurant

Moments later, their father returned home. He was a handsome and tall middle-aged man with a friendly expression.

As a rank two true knight, he was even stronger than a bull. He might be able to kill a bull with one hit. Even when he was calm and friendly, he still looked full of momentum. It's just that their father sometimes looks unwell. Sometimes his skin suddenly became very pale as if he had lost a lot of blood.

Arthur and Bella often asked him if he had an illness, but he just nodded without explaining further. He never mentioned the illness he had. Even if he spoke, he just said that it wouldn't affect him.

Because they live in a democratic republic called the Red Star Republic, their father can only be a village head with a monthly salary. There are no nobles in the Red Star Republic. In order to give his son and daughter a better life, he had to farm to supplement his income.

After returning, he went to the bathroom. He showered pretty quickly and came out in casual clothes. He then walked over to the dining table. He was also a little surprised when he saw the burgers and juices on the table.

Before he could speak, Bella had already spoken; "Dad, Arthur made all this, he even claims his burgers are tastier than Uncle Joe's."

"Oh!" Charlie Van Dyk was a little surprised. He looked at Arthur, but of course he wasn't mocking his son.

"But if these burgers are as delicious as Arthur says I might consider using my savings to buy you a restaurant in town," he said jokingly.

But Arthur was really interested after he heard his words.

They live in a county called Bangor county. There were many small villages in the county, but at the eastern end of the county, there was a town of 300,000 people. If he could open a business there, he would definitely earn a decent income.

"Dad," Bella suddenly grumbled. "Didn't you say that your savings would be used to buy me a magic potion?"

Arthur was slightly surprised when he heard his sister's words.

Magic potions were an extremely rare existence. They only appeared a few times in town and each one of them sold for a very high price. It was said that they could help one become a mage, but the failure rate was much higher than the success rate. Many ended up failing and there is no news of those who succeeded. Those who succeeded might not say anything because it was the habit of mages to act mysterious.

Charlie then answered his daughter's question, "well, you know, those potions are really really expensive. I'm not sure I have enough money to buy them, but if we start a business, we might get rich. If we get rich, we might be able to buy some potions."

"What the heck is getting rich! At most we'll be poorer," he continued to grumble.

"Don't say that before you taste the burgers!" Arthur chimed in.

"Hmph," she snorted.

"But okay. I'm not just going to call you big brother, I'm going to be a maid at your restaurant later if these burgers are really as delicious as you say."

She then took out a knife and fork. She cut the burger really fast. But when she aimed it at her mouth, she did so in a slow and elegant motion.

As the piece of burger entered her mouth, she looked at Arthur. Arthur smiled amusedly in response.

She started chewing the burger in her mouth. She initially wore a disdainful expression, but the more she chewed the burger, the more shocked her expression became.

"Father is here, so you won't be able to lie," Arthur said when he saw her expression.

His words caused the girl's expression to turn ugly.

The curious Charlie then took the burger and put it in his mouth without cutting it. He didn't even use a fork.

He chewed the burger very quickly. After that, he drank the juice provided for him.

After all the food and drink in his mouth entered his stomach, he finally looked at Arthur.

"Joe always says you're good at cooking, I never thought you'd make such delicious food, I'm sure you tried really hard." "Joe would be surprised if he tried this burger. And this juice, it's really really delicious. Looks like we really should open a restaurant in town."

His father's words made Arthur feel satisfied. He then looked at his sister who looked like she was about to cry.

"So my dear sister, will you keep your promise?"

He didn't expect too much because she broke her promises more often than she kept them.

The girl's face immediately reddened. She then looked at Arthur while gritting her teeth. She almost opened her mouth, but after that she suddenly stood up from her chair. She grabbed her plate and cup before running to her room.

Bang...

She even closed the door to her room very hard.

Losing the bet might not have caused her to become angry, but it was because she would lose the chance to buy a magic potion.

Although their father was always friendly and gentle, he hardly ever joked. When he said something, he was always serious about his words.

Since he said he would open a restaurant, he would definitely do that.

"Sigh," Charlie sighed.

"The state of our economy has never grown," he looked at Arthur with a serious expression. "But with these burgers of yours, there's hope we can increase our income. Even in the city, it's very hard to find burgers this delicious."

"Dad, what about Bella?"

His father shook his head.

"My savings aren't that much, it's almost impossible to buy a magic potion. I was originally thinking of borrowing money from Joe, but if there's a better chance I think we should give it a try."

"What do you think? Do you mind if I send you into town to open a restaurant?"

Not to mention the current Arthur, even the old Arthur desperately wanted to leave that small village. How could Arthur object.

"I don't mind, dad!" Arthur replied. "I think there are indeed more opportunities for us if we open a restaurant.

"Mm, since you agreed, we'll go into town when the next train arrives. I'll talk to Joe after this."

...

After lunch, Arthur went out of the house.

There was a rocky field behind his house, and he often practiced there.

As usual, he started training to increase his knight's cultivation.

Unlike the highly secretive cultivation methods of mages, the cultivation methods of knights are spread over many places and are owned by many people. And it can also be learned by everyone who has a healthy physique.

Of course, knight training was not so easy.

Arthur started with light exercise. After he felt quite fit, he began to train his fists by hitting big rocks. To train his legs, he pulled a large rock tied with a rope.

The training lasted up to three hours.

But to break through to the third rank of knight apprentice, he might still need a lot of time.

Arthur was sure he wouldn't be able to put up with knight training if it weren't for him inheriting everything from Arthur in this world. No, there is no Arthur of earth and Arthur in this world, there is only one Arthur. There may be two bodies of Arthur, but there is only one soul of Arthur.

After doing his knight training, Arthur went to the small forest behind the rocky field.

He chose one of the trees in the grove, and he then sat back against it.

After calming his breath, he closed his eyes.

He did not sleep, but did meditation.

Even though he couldn't sense the existence of spiritual energy until now, he had always practiced the mage cultivation method.

Even if he knew the mage's path might not be his way, he always hoped to become a mage one day. For no other reason, it was because mages were much stronger.

In addition, the mysterious world of mages also makes him always curious.

Of course, the current Arthur was no longer the old Arthur. The old Arthur just practiced blindly without thinking of any other method. But he won't do that.

After about fifteen minutes of meditation, he then opened his eyes.

A virtual screen appeared before his eyes.

"Blue, do you know how to become a mage?"

It might be difficult to become a mage, but with the system in place, he was sure to find a way.

Unfortunately, Blue shook his robot head in response.

Arthur naturally understood what he meant.

"But bro, as long as you know the recipe for potions and medicines, I can definitely help you make them. Of course, you should also have the ingredients."

"It might be a while before I can get them," Arthur sighed.

...

A few moments later, he returned to the rocky field.

When he returned, there were about 20 children from the ages of 10 to 13 in the field.

Every afternoon, he would usually train the children in the village.

Among the younger generation in the village, he could be said to be the strongest. Most of the young people his age in the village hadn't even become knight apprentices. In order to get better training, most of them went to join the border army. Therefore, he had almost no friends in the village.

Training the children in the village was an entertainment that he did to relieve his loneliness.

Of course, the current Arthur could suppress those feelings, but he still didn't want to break the habit.

He trained them for almost two hours. They only stopped when the sky was getting dark.

As they started to leave, one of them spoke to him.

"Brother Arthur, my father asked you to help him at the restaurant tonight. He said there would be a group of soldiers coming to his restaurant tonight."

The person who spoke was an 11 year old boy who looked quite thin. But even though his body was quite thin, his talent in Knight cultivation was the best among children his age. He wasn't a knight yet but he was able to defeat one strong grown man. In terms of talent, he was no worse than her.

He is uncle Joe's son. His name is Joe Junior.

"Mm," Arthur nodded in response. "I'll be gone in half an hour."
