The signboard of the restaurant was made of some unknown metal, and it was shining under the sun. The wooden door was made of the best mahogany, and it had a classic and exquisite handle.
What was even more amazing was the transparent crystal on one side. Although there was something white inside that blocked one's view, one could still imagine how big the transparent crystal was cut from. What kind of craftsmanship was required to cut it so evenly and flawlessly?
"This … This crystal is probably worth thousands of dragon coins, right?" Devoe asked hesitantly with his eyebrows raised.
"Boss, this restaurant seems to be closed for the day. It's not open," Johnny said as he took a few steps forward and glanced at the notice on the door.
"Did the owner of this restaurant owe a lot of money and run away with the waiters? Why are there so many blades piled up at the door?" Gabriel asked as he walked forward with his saber. He glanced at the mountain of blades in front of the door with a hint of mockery and ridicule.
"Boss, what should we do?" Gabriel asked as he turned around and looked at Devoe. He tapped his finger gently on the hilt of his saber, and a strand of long red hair fell from his forehead. It made his pale face with a long scar look a little sinister.
As a 3rd-tier knight who had failed to pass the exam, his strength had reached the standard of a 3rd-tier knight. However, the examiner was a little ignorant, and said that he had no humility and compassion, and could not be a qualified knight.
"Humility and compassion are things that only the weak have. Why would a brave knight need such things?" Gabriel recalled what the examiner had said, and still remembered his answer. Then, he naturally became a knight who had failed to pass the exam, and became the most ruthless watcher of Devoe's Tavern.
Indeed, he had no compassion. He was paid to do things for others, and that was his only standard. As for what he was doing, he never cared.
"Screw it up. Since he's not around, we have to teach him a lesson. There are some people that he can't afford to offend. There are some words that he has to pay the price for." Devo's smile was a little cold as he waved his hand.
"That … Smash it too?" Gabriel's gaze turned to the floor-to-ceiling glass at the side. He licked his lips, and his eyes suddenly became a little excited. Such a huge crystal, he would never be able to own it in his life. But if he could destroy it, it seemed to be more exciting than owning it!
"Just smash the door!" Devoe's voice rose a few octaves. The crystal was too expensive, and it would be troublesome if the Gray Temple found out about it. A door would be fine, and he could just smash it and get away with it. Could it be that the owner of a small restaurant dared to make a big fuss over a door?
Devo coughed softly and regained his composure. He raised his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Alright." Gabriel withdrew her gaze in disappointment and resumed her lazy expression. She unsheathed the sword at her waist and slashed at the door of the restaurant without any fancy moves.
A third level knight's sword was enough to cut down a thick tree or a wooden door. There was no need to use a second sword.
"How dare you try to set me on fire? Then I'll smash your store to smithereens. Let's see if you can still sell tofu pudding!" Goodenia's expression was a little excited. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it before, but he lacked the courage to do so. Today, after being provoked by Ward, a wave of ruthlessness surged up.
He naturally didn't dare to commit murder in Chaos City, nor did he dare to commit arson. However, he was used to smashing a store and threatening someone to get back at them.
The Gray Temple ensured the safety of all the shops, but they couldn't guarantee absolute order. They had been in the Aden Square for decades, and no one knew better than them how to take advantage of these loopholes. Furthermore, according to their past experience, the shops that were bullied would only swallow their anger. After all, there were many things that were impossible to guard against when doing business in the Aden Square. If they were caught, they wouldn't be able to survive.
"Bam!"
A dull thump erupted, but the door didn't break. Instead, the longsword in Gabriel's hand was repelled, and she stumbled back a step as she stared at the completely unscathed wooden door with incredulity in her eyes.
"How … How is this possible?!" Walter, who was standing beside the carriage, also glared and said with some dissatisfaction, "Gabriel, you spent all your f * cking strength on women's bellies, right?! If you can't even break a wooden door, then what's the point of keeping you around? "
"This door?" A hint of surprise also appeared on Johnny's face. He had been standing off to the side, and was naturally aware that even though Gabriel hadn't used his full strength, he had still used 70% or 80% of his strength. Even a door wrapped in iron would've been sliced in half, let alone an ordinary wooden door.
However, there wasn't even a mark left on the door. It was as if the sword had struck nothing but air.
If a magic barrier had been set up around the door, then it would've been understandable. However, he hadn't sensed any magic fluctuations at all. This was simply far too bizarre.
"Damn it!" Gabriel's expression immediately became ferocious. He couldn't accept having his strength questioned. Even though he didn't know what was wrong with this door, he wanted to slice through anything that stood in his way. He gripped his longsword with both hands, and charged forward viciously before bringing it down on the wooden door.
"Hmm?" When the first muffled sound rang out, Meg looked in the direction of the door in confusion. The restaurant had been soundproofed by the system, and the sound from the outside was almost completely isolated. Even if they were having a heated argument outside, almost no sound could be heard from inside the restaurant. Such a muffled sound indicated that someone was attacking the restaurant's door.
"Someone seems to be knocking on the door? Is it a guest? "Yabemiya also looked in the direction of the door in confusion.
"It's a knocking sound, not a knocking sound." Sally shook her head slightly, and her gaze became a little wary. If it was a knocking sound, then it meant that the visitor wasn't friendly.
"Ding! System learning completed! "
"Ding! System notification: An enemy is attacking the restaurant's door. The Lv1 restaurant's automatic defense system has been activated. It can defend against any type of attack below Level 3! "
"Ding! Host, please deal with the enemy as soon as possible. The defense system can defend against three attacks for free. From the fourth time onwards, each attack will be charged a gold coin as a reward! "
At this moment, the system's notifications rang out continuously. Even though the tone was high, it seemed to be a little tired.
"System, how's the learning progress?" Meg's expression suddenly became a little strange as he asked in his mind.
"After the system's serious learning, I've completely grasped all the techniques," the system replied seriously.
"System, didn't you say that the restaurant didn't have any defense system? Why is it suddenly able to defend against attacks below Level 3? "Meg asked the question in his mind.
