The high rankings on the Aden Square food competition had brought a lot of new customers to Amy's, and the good reputation it had received from its regulars had also attracted many customers with high spending potential. This small restaurant in the westernmost corner of the Aden Square was gradually gaining a certain level of fame in Chaos City.
Due to the fact that there were too many customers in the restaurant, it took a lot of time to get a seat, so many customers chose to take their food away from the restaurant. Some of them were patient enough to wait until they got home to enjoy the food, but most of them couldn't resist the temptation of the food in their hands even before they left the restaurant. They couldn't help but chew on their roujiamos as they walked, and some of them even exclaimed in awe from time to time.
"Grandpa, look at what she's holding. It looks so delicious. "
On the long street of the Aden Square, a little elf pointed at the ice cream in the hand of a little girl nearby. Her little eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help but gulp at the sight of the little girl licking her ice cream with glee.
The little elf appeared to be around five or six years old. She was wearing an old pink dress, and her long blond hair was tied into a large braid. She had a pair of pointy little ears, and she was looking at the little girl holding the ice cream with curiosity in her eyes.
Beside her was an elderly elf in an old grey robe. His wrinkled face was rather coarse, and he was holding a long staff that was as tall as a grown man. Half of his hair and beard were white, and he was looking down at the little elf with a benevolent smile as he asked, "Do you want some, Anna?"
"Yes, yes." Anna nodded vigorously before looking up at the elderly elf with an expectant expression as she asked, "Can I, Grandpa?"
"Of course, but we have to know which restaurant is selling this strange food first." Joshua nodded with a smile.
"Then … I can ask her where she bought it." Anna's eyes lit up.
"There's no need for that. Look, they're all coming from that direction. We just have to look in that direction, and we'll definitely find it." Joshua pointed up ahead. There was more than one person on the street who was holding the strange food that looked like two snowballs stacked on top of each other.
"Yay! Let's go, Grandpa. "Anna's eyes lit up as she held onto Joshua's hand, and they quickly walked toward the street.
"Slow down," Joshua said with a helpless smile. However, his eyes were filled with love when he looked at Anna.
"I haven't been to Chaos City for over 20 years, and it has changed a lot. It's becoming more and more prosperous." Joshua couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at the bustling Aden Square and the countless shops lining the square.
Over 80 years ago, like most of the elves who had left The Wind Forest, Joshua, who was all by himself, sensed that the elven race was developing in a direction that he didn't like. The centuries of war between species had made him detest war and intrigue, and he didn't want to establish a family. As such, he chose to leave The Wind Forest and began to wander across the Norland Continent.
While wandering through the mountains and rivers, he would often encounter hostile foreign races, so danger was naturally unavoidable. However, to him, everything seemed rather interesting. At least he still had the feeling of being alive on the road. Moreover, he was able to encounter many interesting people and things, so it could be considered as happiness.
However, since more than ten years ago, he gradually realized that there was a force that was targeting him, trying to force him to return to The Wind Forest to seek protection.
Not only was this happening to him, but it was also happening to most of the other elves who had wandered outside The Wind Forest.
There were temptations, but there were also threats, and they were becoming more and more aggressive.
Most of the elves who wandered outside the Wind Forest were alone or in families, so they were no match for them.
I have to at least give Anna a happy childhood. If she returns to The Wind Forest, she'll most likely never experience freedom again. Joshua looked at Anna, who was holding his hand with an innocent and romantic smile, and heaved an internal sigh.
"It's here! Grandpa, that's where they came from! " Anna held Joshua's hand as they stopped outside Mamy Restaurant. She was elated to see a child eating an ice cream with an engrossed expression as his father led him out of the restaurant.
"Yes, Anna found it." A smile also appeared on Joshua's face. He was a little surprised to see this restaurant in the corner of the Aden Square, but it was bustling with people. He held Anna's little hand and led her into the restaurant.
"What a beautiful restaurant! It's like a palace, and it smells so good! It smells so good! " As soon as they entered the dining hall, the lively Anna suddenly quieted down. She held Joshua's hand and shrunk closer to him. She was a little timid as she scanned her surroundings. Her gaze lingered on the dishes on the tables, and she felt that every dish was exceptionally delicious.
These tables and chairs seem to be made from the same tree in The Wind Forest. Could it be that the owner of this restaurant is an elf? Joshua's attention was completely drawn to the wooden tables and chairs in the restaurant. He was a little surprised, but also a little concerned. Such a tree had to be at least 200 to 300 years old.
"Welcome, there are two empty seats over there. You two can sit over there." Yabemiya made his way over to them with a smile. He was a little surprised to see two elves. It seemed that there had been quite a few elves in the restaurant in recent days.
"Alright." Joshua nodded as he held onto Anna's little hand, and made his way over to the table where there were still two empty seats. However, his footsteps faltered at the sight of Blour, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
Anna also faltered slightly at the sight of Blour before hiding behind Joshua, seemingly a little fearful of him.
They must be elves who are traveling the Norland Continent, right? Why is that little girl so scared of me? Blour had also noticed Joshua and Anna, and he was a little perplexed. However, he still put on a benevolent smile on his face, and his handsome features made him appear like a warm spring breeze. Constantine, who was sitting beside him, was completely entranced by the sight of this.
He doesn't look like a bad guy. Besides, this is Chaos City, so there shouldn't be any problems. Joshua looked at Blour, then at all of the customers in the restaurant. He hesitated momentarily before holding onto Anna's little hand and making his way over to the table before taking a seat across from Blour.
What a beautiful big brother. Anna inched closer to Joshua, but she still couldn't help but steal a glance at Blour.
