The customers in the line looked at the little boy enviously. They had been waiting in line for so long, and they didn't expect the little boy to be the first to eat the octopus balls.
"Boss, that's not right. Didn't you say we have to wait in line?" an orc in the back said impatiently.
"Yeah, we're all waiting in line. You set the rules yourself, so how can you just let others do it?" a few people immediately chimed in.
"Let's forget about it. We'll come back next time." Dicus didn't want to make things difficult for Meg, so he took his son's hand and prepared to leave.
However, Mag stopped him. Then, he raised his hand with a smile, and said to the customers, "The break ends at 2 pm sharp. There are still six minutes left for my private time. I will make a set of octopus balls for my friend's little friend, and we will start business at 2 pm sharp. I'm a punctual person, and I hope you'll be the same. "
Everyone looked at the expensive watch, and it was indeed not two o 'clock yet. The complaints gradually died down.
"Wait a moment, little boy." Meg smiled at Dicus' son, Udier, and scooped up a small spoonful of batter and poured it into the pre-heated octopus balls on the plate.
Dicus was a regular at Mamy's, and he was indeed an old friend of Meg's. He was basically in charge of the matters at the city lord's castle. Udier was about the same age as Amy, and the timing was just right, so Meg was naturally happy to make him a special octopus ball.
In less than three minutes, a large portion of octopus balls was scooped into a wooden box by Mag. He squeezed some sauce on it, sprinkled it with mojito and seaweed, and passed it to Udier who was already salivating. "Be careful, it's hot. Eat it later."
"Thank you, Uncle." Udier accepted the octopus ball with both hands and thanked him politely.
"Thank you, Mr. Mak." Dicus took out a silver coin and handed it over.
"It's okay, it's for the child." Meg didn't take it, and shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, I'll invite you to my house next time. This little guy doesn't have much, but he has a lot of toys. I'm sure you'll like them." Dicus took the money and left with Udier and Meg.
Meg cleaned up the grill, scooped up a big spoonful of paste, and began his performance.
The Octopus Ball's roasting plate was never empty in the morning, so there was no way that it couldn't be sold. It should be the same in the afternoon as well.
And the guests who had been waiting for a long time finally got to enjoy the miraculous splashing into pellets. Holding a slender bamboo stick in his hand, Meg transformed into a swordsman with exquisite swordsmanship. The small pellets seemed to be dancing on the tip of the sword.
At two o 'clock sharp, the stall opened for business on time, and the first batch of Octopus Balls was also completed. The queue that had been stagnant for a long time started to move again.
…
In the solemn award ceremony, the King personally presented the trophy. This kind of honor was enviable.
"Thank you." Amy held the trophy that Andre presented to her with both hands. The golden trophy reflected her adorable smiling face and those sparkling eyes.
"Little Amy, you have great talent. If you like the Roth Empire, you can join it anytime," Andre said to Amy with a kind smile.
"Well, I have to consider it. I have to ask Father first." Amy blinked, and didn't agree directly.
The participating magic casters below the stage looked at Amy with envy and jealousy. Holding this trophy was equivalent to getting a pass to the upper echelons of the Roth Empire.
Furthermore, His Majesty the King had personally recruited him. How glorious was that?
However, even if she didn't win the championship, with her talent and identity as Master Crassus' disciple, she was already standing in the upper echelons.
Jasper, who was standing at the side, had a complicated expression. He should be the one standing in the middle.
But today, he was defeated by a four-year-old little magic caster, and his pride was shattered. He could only be a supporting character.
Andre smiled, and didn't mind Amy's refusal. He turned and walked towards Jasper.
Jasper immediately straightened his body. Looking at His Majesty, who was walking towards him, his heart started to beat faster. Was His Majesty going to present him with an award too? But according to the usual practice, the runner-up wouldn't be able to enjoy such an honor. Why …
"Jasper, right? You are an outstanding magic caster. You are young and promising, and you don't give up easily. You have great talent and creativity, and can be said to be a role model for the younger generation of magic casters. I have high hopes for you, and hope you can become a pillar of the country. "Andre came in front of Jasper, and handed him the silver trophy with praise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation." Jasper immediately bowed and received the trophy. His voice was trembling with excitement, but his hand holding the trophy was exceptionally steady.
His Majesty was personally presenting the trophy. What an honor this was. Moreover, he was in second place.
His Majesty's words ignited the fire in his heart that had been despondent and desolate once again.
"This?"
"His Majesty is actually giving Senior Jasper an award personally. Looks like even though he lost to Amy, His Majesty still has high hopes for him."
"The little girl is, after all, of a different race. She can't be loyal to the Empire, so His Majesty chose Jasper."
The disciples of the Mage Tower and the participating magic casters could not hide their surprise. At the same time, they could guess what Andre was thinking.
"This should be worth a lot of money, right? Is it real gold? I heard the old man next door say that one bite can leave a mark on it. Then it's real gold. " Amy did not seem to care about what was happening around her. She only stared at the trophy in her hands. After thinking seriously for a while, she opened her mouth and took a bite of the trophy.
She opened her mouth, and looked at the two rows of shallow teeth marks on the shiny trophy. Her eyes lit up. "It's real gold!"
This scene was caught by many people. Although they did not know what she was doing, they were still attracted by her adorable look.
The ceremony for the magic casters' group ended. Amy carried the trophy back to Crassus' side, and whispered, "Master, this is made of real gold."
"Hmm?" Crassus glanced at the golden trophy that Amy was hugging tightly. "Even trophies nowadays are being cheapened?"
"Look, I just secretly took a bite and left a mark." Amy turned the trophy around, and the two rows of shallow teeth marks were clearly visible.
Crassus reached out and flicked the trophy. The melodious echo echoed in the cup for a while before gradually disappearing.
"Child, your teeth are so good. You can even bite the Dragon Roar Stone." Crassus's expression was strange, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
The award ceremony for the junior category proceeded. Kassadin received the trophy from Richard amidst a wave of boos, and walked off the stage with a red face.
"Life is full of ups and downs. Don't bully the young for being poor! I, Kassadin, will definitely be back in three years! "Kassadin walked off the stage, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice.
What he had lost today, he would definitely get back twice as much next time!
"Master, is the championship trophy of every magic caster tournament made of gold? Then, can I come again next time? "
At this moment, a little girl holding the golden trophy walked past him.
Plop.
Kassadin knelt down.
