"That black fog is indeed a little strange. But, how did you know that it appeared on the Demon Islands?" Irina looked at Meg with a puzzled expression.
"The Lantisdeans are living under the Boundless Sea Realm now. They were the ones who told me." Meg said calmly. He wasn't lying to Irina on purpose. The existence of the system couldn't be known by others. This was one of the core principles of the system. The system had warned him many times not to tell others.
"Is it that group of mysterious men in black? What's their background? " Irina asked curiously as she recalled the group of thugs in suits that descended from the sky. She still didn't know the background of this group of mysterious powerhouses.
"Lantisde was a kingdom that existed on the Norland Continent a long time ago. However, it sank thousands of years ago …" Meg briefly explained the history of Lantisde, how they established contact, and how they promised to help him three times to Irina.
"So that's how it is. It means that you have raised a powerful army at the bottom of the sea, and it's the kind that others can't fathom at all." Irina nodded. She looked at Meg with a smile, and said, "You put down your sword and picked up your cleaver. You're doing pretty well."
"I can't help it. I'm just that outstanding." Meg sighed. Her talent was almost overflowing. What a headache.
"Tsk, tsk." Irina rolled her eyes, and let him figure it out himself.
"Oh, yes. When I was fighting with Borg previously, I realized that your Holy Light magic had a very good purifying effect on that black fog. So, before we kill, you might have to come with me to look for the black fog," Meg said.
"Holy Light can purify the black fog?" Irina was a little surprised to hear that. Obviously, this was the first time she knew about it.
"Yes. You hate that Undead aura, and it should feel the same way about you. It's an existence that counters each other." Meg nodded.
"Alright. I also want to find out what that thing is. How dare it touch the Tree of Life." Irina nodded in agreement.
…
The next morning, Meg was woken up by the alarm clock. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked to the window and opened the curtains. He looked at the dimly lit square in the distance. It had snowed again last night, and the whole square was covered in white again.
Meg lowered his head and saw a figure wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket walking back and forth downstairs. From time to time, he would stomp his feet, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow.
"Why is Raina here so early?" Meg had set the alarm clock at 5: 40, and the time he had agreed to meet with Raina last night was 6: 00. Judging from the footprints on the snow, she must have been here for a while.
Meg changed his clothes and went downstairs to open the door. He looked at Raina, who was pacing around with her neck shrunk. "Raina, come in."
"Ah?" Raina looked up and was slightly surprised to see Meg standing at the door. She quickly straightened her body and nodded slightly to Meg. "You're up."
"Come in and talk. It's cold outside." Meg stepped aside and waited for Raina to enter the restaurant before closing the cold wind outside.
The temperature outside was at least negative ten degrees. He couldn't help but shiver when he opened the door. This silly girl was waiting outside like an idiot.
"Phew." Raina entered the restaurant and gently exhaled the cold air. It was so warm in the restaurant. It was a completely different world from outside.
"Didn't we agree to arrive at 6: 00? Why are you here so early? "Meg looked at Raina, who was rubbing her red hands and asked.
"I woke up when I heard the rooster crowing. I didn't know if it was 6: 00, so I came over. And I only waited for a while." Raina put her hands behind her back and said with a smile. It was always better to be early than late. Her mother always said this to her.
Meg suddenly realized that there was no such thing as a clock in this world. Whether it was a household clock or a magic watch, it could easily cost tens of thousands of copper coins. They were all things that only the rich could play with. Raina's house obviously didn't have anything that could let her tell the time.
"Sit down and warm up for a while. I'll go wash up." Meg said to Raina. He turned and went into the kitchen. He smashed a few pieces of ginger and threw them into the pot to boil. He threw in two pieces of brown sugar and closed the lid before going upstairs to wash up.
Raina gently pulled out a chair and sat on the edge. She took out her red hands and rubbed them. The temperature in the restaurant was very warm, and her body gradually began to recover.
After a while, Meg came downstairs. Raina quickly stood up.
"Sit down." Meg motioned for her to sit down and went into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. "Drink some ginger tea to get rid of the cold."
"Thank you … Thank you, Boss." Raina was a little flattered as she took the ginger tea. The fragrance of the brown sugar and the spiciness of the old ginger rushed to her face along with the steam. The pottery bowl, which had isolated a lot of heat, was warm in her hands.
"Next time, if you come early, just knock on the door directly. Don't wait outside. Your hands are used to cook. It's not good to freeze them," Meg said with a serious face.
"Okay." Raina nodded slightly. She had not drunk the ginger tea yet, but her heart was already warm.
"Sit down and drink it. After you finish it, it's almost time to start cooking the preserved egg and lean meat congee," Meg said with a smile and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Raina sat down again. She scooped up a spoonful of the ginger soup with a spoon, put it to her mouth and blew on it before drinking it.
The slightly hot ginger soup was slightly sweet. After swallowing it down her throat, the taste of the old ginger bloomed instantly. It burned all the way down her throat to her stomach and then spread to her limbs and bones.
"This ginger soup is so delicious." Raina's eyes lit up. She drank spoonful after spoonful. After standing in the cold wind for half an hour, her cold body began to heat up from the inside out. She felt warm all over, and small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
After drinking the bowl of ginger soup, Raina hurriedly took off her big cotton-padded jacket. It was really too warm, and it was a warmth that came from the inside out.
Raina moved the chair back to its original position. She carried the bowl that she had used into the kitchen, and carefully asked, "What should I do next?"
Meg took the bowl from Raina's hand and put it into the dishwasher at the side. He looked at her, and said, "Put the bowl down. Next, we're going to make breakfast for the cleaners in the Aden Square. They have to start cleaning at 4 am every day despite the cold, so we're going to make a steaming bowl of preserved egg and lean meat congee for them to replenish their calories and energy."
"You're really a good person," Raina said sincerely.
"Ding! Good Person Card + 1! "The system's voice sounded.
The corner of Meg's mouth twitched. He tried to control his emotions, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's start now. The congee has to be ready before 6: 30 am. That's the breakfast time that I promised them."
