    Chapter 41 Tentacle Monster 5 Merik actually apologizes

    When the knights set out on their journey, everyone will have a meal together, in order to unite everyone during the rest of the journey.

    In the restaurant of every hotel, there will be a long table that can accommodate all the knights.

    Ewell’s identity naturally required him to participate. He was the last to enter the restaurant. He entered the restaurant holding Merik in his hand, and the noisy knights fell silent for an instant.

    Merik is not afraid of humans. He is only scared because he mistakenly thought that Tanggre could eat it like a fish ball. After Ewell explained it clearly to it, it showed no fear at all and was still active after entering the restaurant.

    With an elegant posture and steady steps, Ewell sat down on the main seat and placed Merik on the table on his left. His tone was neither calm nor calm, as if reminding and warning: “Everyone, I hope that no one will know everything about Merik after I go back.”

    It is taboo to spy on the king’s intentions. It is very normal for Evel to want to raise a special octopus but not to let others see through his intentions.The knights instantly realized that the little octopus in front of His Highness was Merik.

    The moment Tanggre stood up, all the knights also stood up. They held their arms close to their chests and said in the most standard knightly etiquette: “Yes, Your Highness.”

    Ewell: “Please sit down and enjoy your meal.”

    He wanted to protect Merik, which could not be accomplished overnight. He trusted the loyalty of the knights. In the previous life, the knights of Feisley never stopped chasing Damon Lin for him, but as the superior, they had to beat him.

    After getting permission, the maid pushed the dining cart into the restaurant, and soon the entire table was filled with rich food.

    There was only a standard breakfast in front of Evel. He was used to eating only bread, eggs, sausages and a glass of milk in the morning. This was most likely specially prepared for him by Tangere, because knights would eat big fish and meat whenever they needed physical strength.

    Merrick: …

    It set aside the knights’ food, looked at Ewell’s breakfast, then looked at its own raw fish, curling its lips in dissatisfaction.

    Facing a table of fragrant delicacies, it can only eat fish, which is too difficult for the little tentacle.

    Merik was squirming, and his movements towards Ewell’s dinner plate were very obvious from time to time.

    Evel was silent, and finally cut the food on his plate into uniform sizes, and at the same time said to the maid who was about to go out: “Please give me another piece of food.”

    Tanggre was a little surprised. He looked up at Ewell, who had been with His Highness since he was young. His Highness Ewell had always eaten as many times as he wanted since he was a child, never wasting food, but never asked for food again.

    In the next second, Tangere realized why His Highness was acting like this.

    Evel placed the divided food in front of Merik. He looked at the little octopus that was already drooling and said softly: “Eat whatever you want.”

    Merik in his previous life could eat human food, and the mutated tentacle monster was very different from an octopus, so Evel was not worried.

    Merik was the happiest. After dancing around and circling the dinner plate several times, he tentatively grabbed a piece of bread with his tentacles, put it into his mouth with a squeal and started chewing: “It’s delicious!”

    The corner of Tanggre’s mouth twitched. Who would have thought that the noble prince would actually divide the food for an octopus with his own hands.

    Merik stopped moving after eating a piece of bread. The food on the plate was prepared for an adult. There was a lot of food, and he knew he would not be able to finish it.It thought of what it had done wrong yesterday, and looked at Ewell hesitantly: “Can I send them out?”

    Ewell kept cutting the sausages. He guessed what the little octopus wanted to do and didn’t stop him: “Okay.”

    Merik was so happy that he shook his head in front of his dinner plate for a long time before grabbing a piece of sausage and a piece of bread with his two tentacles. His movements were slow and hesitant, and he didn’t stop until he twisted them in front of Tangere.

    Tanggre swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and all the laughing knights held their breath. They were all watching the movements of the black tentacle monster. Only Evel was enjoying his breakfast quietly.

    Merik’s small gray eyes looked straight at the bearded Tangere in front of him, and he ruthlessly held out two tentacles to wrap up the food.

    “Gululu.” For you.

    Merik’s voice was so low that Tongre couldn’t understand its meaning. He only heard a strange sound, and then the food was handed over by the tentacles.

    Tangere: “?”

    He was silent for a second.

    Ewell explained calmly: “It is apologizing to you for what happened yesterday afternoon. Merik is apologizing and saying he is sorry.”

    Merik’s tentacles did not put down and kept lying in front of Tanggre. He followed suit and said, “I’m sorry.”

    Tanggre was extremely surprised. The little octopus in front of him could not only understand what His Highness said, but could even respond. Although the voice sounded the same to him, the tone was indeed different.

    Considering what His Highness said, is it possible that the octopus in front of me is really apologizing?!

    Surprised, he put his palms under Merik’s two tentacles, and responded in a daze: “…It doesn’t matter.”

    The next second – two grains of food fell into Tanggre’s hands, and the little octopus happily ran back to the dinner plate to eat the food.

    Tanggre looked at Merik unexpectedly. He had become a nightmare for all children in Fisli since he became the leader of the knights. When the residents of Fisli could not deal with their children, they directly used his name to educate their children. So he was not surprised that the octopus was still afraid of him.

    After counting for decades, only one octopus apologized to him.

    Tanggre’s expression darkened. Merik was too special. It could never be just a mutated octopus.He must handle this matter well and never allow a trace of news to get out and cause trouble for His Highness Ewell.

    Tongre is a smart man, and Ewell can get the results he wants without having to say much.

    Merik’s little mouth was full of food as Evel shared his preferences: “I like eggs and sausages, and I also like bread.”

    Merik’s learning ability is indeed very fast. Basically, if Ewell talks to it once, it will be able to use it quickly.

    However, Evel did not miss Merik using the tentacles on his back to secretly push away the plate of raw fish originally prepared for him.He held a knife and fork in both hands and divided the sausages on the dinner plate. He smiled and said, “Eat more if you like it.”

    Merik ate a lot, and his belly was bulging until finally there was only some bread left on the plate. He lay obediently by Evel’s hand and waited quietly. Soon he was attracted by the lively atmosphere of the knights.

    ——

    It was not too late to leave the small town of Libenyan. Ewell specially filled a bucket of sea water at the beach in the early morning and let Merik soak for a while before setting off. After staying on land for a long time, he really missed the free feeling of soaking in sea water.

    When setting off, Ewell bought a small nest and several thin blankets in the market along the town of Ribon. The small nest was placed on horseback. When the sun was shining and the air was hot, Merik lay stretched out in the small nest. From time to time, he would soak in some sea water. When the weather was cold, he would cover them with thin blankets until they reached the next town.

    As a national knight, it will not enter the scope of other countries unless necessary. Only knights with mercenary certificates can travel between countries at will.

    Therefore, they can only find a place to stay in a small town without a home.

    After traveling for three consecutive days, the knights finally arrived at the next small town without a home. The town’s environment was limited, and the almost identical accommodation was occupied by an entire knight group.

    “Prepare hot water and food and bring it up.” After saying that, Evel carried Merik and walked up the stairs to the room.

    “Yes.”

    Food is not easy to store during the journey, so all they prepare are dried meat and bread. When they arrive at the hotel, the knights will treat themselves to a delicious meal in most cases.

    Tanggre stayed at the hotel and prepared meals according to Ewell’s instructions, but the black octopus also ate bread on the road. Moreover, he saw Merik’s reaction to fish. This dilemma meant that he did not move for several minutes. He thought for a long time but still didn’t know what to prepare for an octopus…

    Different from Tanggre’s racking his brains, the restaurant where he stayed burst into laughter. After a while, the one-life knight walked out of the restaurant and looked at the leader who was standing there blankly: “Captain? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you come to have a meal?”

    Tanggre came back to his senses: “You guys eat, I’ll be there in a minute.” He thought for a long time, then got up and walked up the stairs.

    Ewell put the nest in his hand on the bed, and Merik immediately jumped out. He liked the soft bed and hated the cold hard ground along the way, especially the thick tree trunks that he could only rely on when sleeping due to the smell.

    “It smells bad, I like this.” Merrick raised his tentacles and tapped them here and there on the bed.

    “Bed.” Evel turned his back to Merik and took off the armor outside the knight’s uniform.

    “I like beds,” Merik added.

    Dong Dong——The knock on the door sounded. Ewell hung the armor on the wall and opened the door.

    Tanggre looked apologetic, as if he was forced to interrupt and apologized: “Your Highness, the hot water has been prepared. What should be prepared for Merik’s food?”

    The food for dinner had a strong taste and was not suitable for Merik to eat now.

    Evel frowned. He indeed ignored the question and said to Tangere: “Send some light food.”

    Tanggre nodded in agreement. At the same time, the hot water was delivered by the maid in the hotel. Ewell still refused the maid to enter the room. He carried the water into the room and closed the door tightly under the puzzled eyes of the maid.

    This time Merik did not follow Evel into the bathroom, and entertained himself in the room alone. It was not until Evel came out that he ran to him and curled his fingers with his tentacles.

    The body that had just taken a bath was a little hot, and Merik’s body temperature was very low. The tentacles wrapped around him were immediately scalded, as if he was electrocuted along the tentacles. His whole body was shocked. Merik shivered several times before stopping: “It’s hot.”

    Ewell was amused by it and smiled: “Yes, it is hot.”

    The maid quickly brought the food over, and when there was a knock on the door, it was Ewell who brought the dinner plate into the room.

    The food on the two plates is roughly the same, except for the vegetables, which are specially matched with vegetables and meat. However, most of the dishes on Merik’s plate are only found on the seabed, and there are very few seasonings, which are very light.

    Tongre was indeed attentive, and the food he chose had a taste that Merik could accept.

    Ewell placed a pair of knives and forks beside Merik’s plate. The little octopus quickly raised its tentacles, grasped the knives and forks, and began to enjoy the rich meal. It was now able to use the knives and forks to cut and fork the food, but its movements were not yet so smooth.

    Merik soon became full. He also ate bread for three days along the way. Now, in addition to raw fish, the most disgusting food was bread.It ate quite a lot, its belly was bulging, and it lay lazily on the table for a long time without moving.

    At the end of the meal, Ewell twisted a square towel between his fingers and gently wiped his lips. When Merik saw it, he stood up and rushed over: “Merik also wants to wipe his mouth.”

    Ewell took out a new square towel and handed it to Merik: “Does Merik want to learn to wipe his tentacles and mouth by himself?”

    Merik tilted his little head, thought for a moment and said, “Yes!”
