Chapter 126 Sparks
He has lived in the royal capital for a long time, but because his range of activities is not very wide, Xi Ze seems to have never been to any particularly high-end places.
The Tianshi Golden Hall in front can barely be considered one, but there are no others besides that.
The carriage drove into the city and finally stopped in front of a restaurant somewhere in the north city.
This is a restaurant with a very unique decoration style. Vines and trees grow all over the restaurant, and a variety of bright flowers grow on the huge wooden sign.
[Moruna's Promise] is the name of this restaurant.
[Moruna] is the name of a legendary elf ancestor who has the ability to communicate with the souls of wild beasts in nature.
A waiter came and took the carriage of several people away and put it away. There were quite a few people working here, but very few of other races. Basically, they were orcs with different ears.
A girl with dalmatian ears came up to entertain us.
"Biya, these are all my friends, let's find a bigger box." Yue said, she seemed to be a regular customer.
"Please come this way," said the dog-eared girl.
The private room is located on the second floor of the restaurant, and its name is very interesting, called [Between the Clouds].
Although it was the name, the situation in the box had nothing to do with [Between the Clouds].
A huge mushroom grew out of the ground and became a chair. Even the table was in the shape of a mushroom.
"So, why is it called "Between the Clouds"? " Fern asked. She didn't quite understand.
"My dear guest, you are not the first one to ask this question." The dog-eared girl named Bia said with a smile: "Please let me answer it for you."
"Look, these are mushrooms growing in the forest." She pointed to the small umbrellas growing on the wall and said, "Green, red, white, all colors."
"Our boss once said: 'Red umbrellas, white poles, your eyes will sparkle after eating them.'"
“It makes you feel like you are above the clouds, traveling with the stars, so this room is called [Between the Clouds].”
Everyone: "..."
"Please allow me to recommend the dishes in this room. We have a wide variety of dishes that use mushrooms as a side dish, such as meat, stew, boil, and grill." Bia introduced enthusiastically, "Please rest assured that the mushrooms consumed in this restaurant will not contain toxins as long as they are cooked. You can eat them with confidence."
Yue was left to order the food, and they all sat down around the round table.
Caesar sat between the two of them, with Nellie on his left and Yue on his right.
He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling.
The dishes were served one after another. The first dish was a huge stew pot with red mushrooms, meat, carrots and various seasonal vegetables boiling in it. It looked very appetizing. There was a flame boiling underneath, and the aroma continued to emanate from it.
A small hourglass was also served.
"Please don't move the spoon. You can only eat it after all the sand in the hourglass has flowed out." She said this and left.
Also ordered some drinks and alcohol.
Only Weiguang and Nellie drank fruit juice, while everyone else drank light pink fruit wine with small red fruits in it.
The former was because he still had to drive the carriage, and it was better not to drink and drive in the capital. The latter was because Caesar requested that he not drink.
"I don't have to drive, so why can't I drink?" Nellie asked unconvinced.
"No, I know how much you can drink." Caesar rejected her request mercilessly and poured the wine in her glass into his own.
Yue noticed the details and the sense of oppression in her heart increased.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, dishes were served one after another, including grilled steaks, bread with butter, and various other dishes, but without exception, they were all covered with various kinds of mushrooms.
The dog-eared girl in a black and white maid outfit stepped forward and distributed the stew in the pot to everyone. She then took out a small bottle and sprinkled a little fluorescent powder in everyone's bowl, then bowed lightly and left the room.
The five people looked at the bowl of soup in front of them, which was emitting a continuous aroma, but no one was willing to eat it, simply because it looked a bit strange.
Is this really not some witch's alchemical potion?
Nellie glanced at the moon beside her, thought about it, and an immature idea came to her mind.
She took the lead and scooped a spoonful of soup with a small spoon, which also contained a piece of mushroom.
"Huff~" She brought it to her own mouth and blew it, then handed it to Caesar's mouth.
"Cise, ah——" she said while protecting the bottom of the spoon with her hand.
"What are you doing?" Caesar instinctively tilted his head back.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll feed you a bite." Nellie said, stretching out her hand.
"No, why don't I eat it myself." Caesar rejected the suggestion.
This idiot.
"Hurry up, hurry up, help me try it, I'm afraid it's poisonous." Nellie said.
"You still want me to eat it even though it's poisonous? Why don't you eat it yourself?" Caesar continued to refuse.
"I'm a priest." Nellie said, "If I'm poisoned, how can I treat you? You must come to test the poison. If something goes wrong by accident, I can help you expel the negative state."
She snapped her fingers, and a little holy light emerged from her hands.
"Okay." After taking a deep breath and frowning, Caesar still ate it and put the spoon into his mouth.
There was a gleam of envy in the eyes of Weiguang standing by.
Damn it, Princess Nellie, are you still so picky when it comes to feeding you?
If I could be fed, I would treasure anything.
Finn watched the interaction between the two. For a boy and girl of this age, this behavior was a bit too intimate. But looking at Mr. Caesar's expression, it seemed that he thought Nelly was a naughty sister?
"How is it? Is it delicious?" asked Nellie.
"Well, it's delicious and not poisonous." Caesar replied.
"Hehe, that's good." She glanced at Yue next to Caesar, but didn't see any special emotions.
No one at the table ate very fast, and when Caesar finished the soup in his bowl, everyone was still drinking it.
He put the bowl aside and wanted to touch the grilled steak in front of him.
But there was a hand that moved faster than his.
"Let me do it." Yue smiled gently.
Caesar didn't understand what was going on today. Why did she seem to be behaving differently than usual?
She pulled the plate of steak in front of her, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and put it back in front of Caesar.
She took out a napkin and gently wiped the corners of Caesar's mouth: "Eat slowly."
She looks like a virtuous wife.
Caesar felt that the atmosphere of this meal was very strange, as if some sparks were colliding.
