Lan Baoer shook her head and said, "Ji Dong, if it wasn't for you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to complete the preliminary exam. You risked your life to get these spoils. I have taken enough. There are more than forty crystal nuclei of the tenth water element. You can keep the rest."
Ji Dong said sternly, "I'm not the only one who risked my life, but the two of us. We are partners. When facing the enemy, if there is no you, I will not be able to defeat the opponent in the end. I will only take half. If you insist on not taking it, then throw it away."
After saying that, he put away the crystal nuclei of the third fire and fourth fire elements, and only took half of the other crystal nuclei. He stood up and turned to leave.
"Ji Dong, you …" Lan Baoer hurriedly pulled his sleeve and looked at Fury for help.
Fury smiled and said, "Baoer, you don't have to be polite with him. Can't you see that my junior is very stubborn? Although these magical beast crystal nuclei are worth a lot of money, they are not precious. You can keep them. Let's go, let's go into the city. I will treat you to a big meal to celebrate the successful completion of this preliminary exam."
In desperation, Lan Baoer had to put away the remaining crystal nuclei, and the three of them went in the direction of the Central Plains City.
The Central Plains City was still so lively. Although it was not the first time he saw the city from the outside, when he looked at it, Ji Dong still felt shocked. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city, rendering it with a layer of golden brilliance.
As soon as they entered the city, Fury took the two people into the city with ease. After passing through a few streets, they entered one of the ten main roads of the Central Plains City. The ten main roads of the Central Plains City were named according to the ten elements of magic. The palace was located in the middle of the Chengtu Avenue.
At this time, Fury took them on the Bing Huo Avenue. These main roads were extremely wide. Even if ten carriages were abreast, they would not feel crowded.
As soon as they set foot on this main road, Ji Dong immediately smelled a strong aroma. It was the smell of barbecue.
Fury laughed and said, "This is the place. I'll treat you to some barbecued meat. This is the place I usually come to."
Ji Dong followed Wei Rui's gaze. On the left side of Two Fires Avenue, a large restaurant came into view. The restaurant only had three floors, but each floor was more than five meters tall. Even though it was surrounded by tall buildings on both sides of the main road, it was still very easy to recognize. This was because it was fiery red in color, which was different from most of the earthen yellow buildings.
Fury brought Ji Dong and Lan Baoer into the restaurant. Without waiting for the waiter to lead them, they found a table in the hall on the first floor and sat down. He shouted loudly, "Special barbecued meat! Give me ten skewers and three liters of high alcohol! Hurry, hurry!" The Thunder Monarch's personality was like his magic, fiery and impatient.
"Sir, please wait a moment. We'll be back in a while."
Hearing the waiter's reply, Fury then smiled at Hyōhime and Lan Baoer, saying, "The barbecued meat here is the best in the Central Plains City. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Most importantly, it's big enough to eat. Barbecued meat needs to be paired with high alcohol content. Only then will it be satisfying to eat. Bao'er, do you want to eat something else?"
Lan Baoer smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "I'll just eat the same as Senior."
After a while, the waiter brought over a huge tray with soil. There were indeed ten skewers of barbecued meat on the tray. However, the barbecued meat was really big. Each skewer was one meter long, and there were ten pieces of golden, oily barbecued meat on them. The strong aroma of the barbecued meat wafted over, whetting one's appetite.
Fury grabbed a skewer and said, "Come, have a taste. This is top-notch lamb meat. It's extremely tender and won't get stuck in your teeth. Waiter, hurry up with the alcohol."
A liter and a large glass of alcohol was brought over. Fury attended to Ji Dong and Lan Baoer while he himself started to eat. His table manners were just like him, rough and wild.
Ji Dong also grabbed a skewer and put a large piece of barbecued meat into his mouth. Instantly, his mouth was filled with the aroma. When he bit down on the piping hot barbecued meat, the rich gravy instantly filled his mouth. Fury wasn't exaggerating at all. It was definitely crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Having lived for two lifetimes, Ji Dong had never eaten such tasty barbecued meat. Just like what Fury said, eating such a big skewer of barbecued meat was satisfying.
After eating dry rations for a few days, Ji Dong's stomach was already complaining. At this time, he didn't hold back and ate with big mouthfuls, as if he wanted to compete with Fury to see who could eat faster.
The alcohol was a rich amber color and wasn't transparent. After drinking it in one gulp, the cold and rich aroma of the wheat flowed freely into his throat. Ji Dong had a deep understanding of alcohol, so he immediately understood that the high level Fury was talking about was the high concentration of malt and not the alcohol content. This kind of alcohol was truly liquid bread. Drinking in big mouthfuls and eating big pieces of meat, this kind of vivid and unrestrained feeling made Ji Dong exclaim in satisfaction. He thought to himself that he must remember this place and come back often in the future.
The ten meter-long skewers added up to five catties of meat. Before Lan Baoer could finish one skewer, the remaining nine had already been divided between Ji Dong and Fury. Compared to his senior, Ji Dong had only eaten one less skewer. Lei Di wiped the oil off his mouth and said, "Junior, you are indeed straightforward.
What I hate the most is those men who are wishy-washy and pretentious. Eating a meal should be carefree, and bartending is the true enjoyment. This ale is not bad, right? It was brewed using a special method, and the requirements for craftsmanship are very high. The key is that it is fresh and mellow enough. To be honest, although I like bartending and all kinds of alcohol, I don't like bars. On the contrary, I like the feeling here more. Usually, when I have nothing to do, I will come here to eat something. In the future, you guys have to come here often too. Waiter, give me another ten skewers. "
As he spoke, Ji Dong suddenly saw a few familiar figures. There were more than ten people, and among them, there were four that he was more familiar with. They were the female disciple ranked third in the Yin Yang Hall, Ye Xin of the Gui Water Element, Long Tian of the First Wood Element, Shui Ruohan of the Sixth Wood Element, and Ye Sorrow of the Tenth Earth Element.
Although he was not familiar with the rest, he vaguely remembered that they were all from the Yin Yang Hall, and from their ages, they seemed to be older. They should be the seniors who were ranked higher in the hall.
When Ji Dong saw them, Lan Baoer naturally saw them as well. She said, "Senior Brother Fury, it's Senior Sister Ye Xin and the rest. Do people from the Yin Yang Hall like to come here?"
Fury's gaze flickered slightly, and he nodded silently. He said something that Ji Dong and Lan Baoer could not understand, "It's rare that they have such intentions."
Ye Xin, Long Tian, and the rest also saw Fury and the other two, but they did not sit down. Instead, they sat down at a larger table not far away from them, and Ye Xin and the rest walked over.
"Thunder Emperor, didn't you bring them to the preliminary examination? Why did you come here? "Ye Xin asked in surprise. In front of the Thunder Emperor, Fury, she was more or less reserved.
Fury said plainly, "Their preliminary examination is over. Go and eat your food, and thank everyone for me."
Ye Xin smiled and said, "There's no need to thank us. We just like a fragrant roasted meat. We won't disturb you then." As she said that, she even winked at Lan Baoer before walking back to her table.
Fury Hyōhime said to Lan Baoer, "It's weird, isn't it? Actually, this place is …"
Just as he said that, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out, "Fury, you're here to support me again. I haven't seen you in a while!"
Ji Dong turned his head and saw a burly man who was not much smaller than Fury walking over. This burly man was wearing a chef's uniform, and he arrived at their table in a few steps. He did not stand on ceremony, and pulled out a chair and sat down.
Lan Baoer let out a low gasp, but she quickly covered her mouth under Fury's sharp gaze. Ji Dong was also slightly shocked when he saw this person's appearance.
This burly man in chef's uniform looked to be in his forties. Although he was burly, he did not have his right arm, and his left eye was only a black hole. The entire left side of his face was covered in hideous scars, and he looked extremely terrifying. Lan Baoer was only a young girl, so she was naturally shocked.
What surprised Ji Dong and Lan Baoer even more was that Fury, the top student of the Yin Yang School, a Six-crown Thunder Heavenly Warrior, and the Thunder Emperor, was actually very respectful towards this chef. "Brother, I haven't been here for a while. I recently went to the North Water Empire's Bartenders Guild headquarters."
The chef smiled and said, "Looks like you've passed the nine-star bartender exam. Not bad, come over and make me a drink some time. These two are the new guys, right?" As he spoke, he smiled kindly at Hyōhime and Lan Baoer. However, his smile, coupled with his hideous face, was extremely ugly, and it was frightening.
Fury said, "Yeah, these two guys just passed the preliminary exam. Brother, do you want to have a few drinks with us?"
The chef shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I heard from my little brothers that you're here, so I came out to have a look. I still have a lot of work to do, and those little brothers' skills are not good enough. Barbecuing meat is also a skill, and I still need to be there to master the heat. I can't ruin my reputation. You guys eat slowly, and today's meal is on me. Just treat it as a welcome for the new little guy."
As he spoke, the chef had already stood up, turned around, and left. When he passed by Ye Xin and Long Tian's table, he also greeted them.
"You're wondering why I'm so respectful to him, aren't you?" Fury said with some emotion.
Ji Dong said, "This chef brother should also be a Magician, and he's from our Third Fire element. If I'm not wrong, the reason why the barbecued meat here is so delicious is because he used Third Fire to cook it." Fury nodded and said, "Junior, you're very observant.
You're right. His name is Ah Bing, and because he's like an endless and terrifying cannon when he uses magic skills, everyone gave him the nickname Cannon Dragon. When he left the Yin-Yang School, his magic power was five Crowns, and he should still be five Crowns now. To me, Cannon Dragon is like me to you now. Back then, he was the one who brought me to the Earth Spirit Mountain Range for the preliminary exam. When I first went to the Saint Evil Battlefield, I was also by his side. His eyes, face, and arms were all the price he paid to save me on the Saint Evil Battlefield. "
"Cannon Dragon was originally ranked eighth in the Yin-Yang School, and the teacher had high hopes for him. However, after his body was crippled, it was impossible for him to break through to six Crowns. He didn't resent or feel dissatisfied, so he gave up the recruitment from the empires and unions, and opened a First Breath of Incense here with the school's pension."
While talking about this, Fury seemed very calm, but from his slightly trembling gaze, Ji Dong could see a lot of things.
"Cannon Dragon has a forthright personality. Apart from the teacher, he helped me the most to become the Thunder Emperor of the Yin-Yang School. He will always be my brother. I didn't come here to spend money here. Every time I came, other than to eat the meat skewers that Cannon Dragon roasted, it was more to see him. I know that his goal was to reach the highest realm of the Third Fire Magic Master, Victorious Light."
Lan Baoer's eyes were already red, and she said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Fury. I'll go and apologize to Cannon Dragon."
Fury waved his hand and said, "Silly girl, why would Cannon Dragon care about such a small matter? He would be very happy to see us, the disciples of the Yin-Yang School. He gave up a lot of good treatment and chose to stay in the Central Plains City, mostly because he couldn't bear to leave the Yin-Yang School. However, he knew that he couldn't teach the new students anything, so he chose to leave. From the beginning to the end, he didn't bring any trouble to the school. "
Another ten skewers were served. Although Ji Dong was already full, he still picked up another one and tasted it again. He realized that the taste of the First Breath of Incense seemed to have changed again.
At this moment, Fury, who was sitting opposite Ji Dong, suddenly stood up. Not far away, everyone at Ye Xin's table also stood up. Ji Dong turned his head to look at the entrance of the First Breath of Incense and saw an old woman with a head full of silver hair walking in.
This old woman was very special. Although she didn't look young, she was wearing a gorgeous blue dress. Even young girls rarely wore such a bright color. Moreover, it was a standard aristocratic palace dress. In her right hand was a deep blue scepter that looked like a crystal clear coral. Step by step, she slowly walked into the restaurant. Her movements were very slow, as if she was afraid of wrinkling the dress she was wearing.
What was strange was that although her dress was gorgeous, she didn't wear any jewelry. Her eyes were bright when she opened and closed them, and her back was as straight as a young man's.
