Since Prince Rong had said so, he should have the intention to return the treasured sabers to him. Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously revealed a fervent look.
Prince Rong thought to himself, Boy, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. You want to follow me? You are still too young. I don't believe that there is nothing that can attract you. "It's not hard to get these sabers back. You only need to do one thing for the Rong Family, then I'll give them all back to you. I can even lend them to you for the time being when you're doing that thing for the Rong Family. Based on your experience, it's not difficult to do this. Are you willing to do it? "
Nian Bing thought for a moment. Although he was eager to get the treasured sabers back, he didn't panic. "It's not a big deal to do one thing for you at the cost of the treasured sabers. However, it can't be against morality or against my will. Tell me what you want first, and I will decide whether to do it or not."
Prince Rong smiled indifferently and said, "It's very simple. I want you to take the place of Rong Bing Yun and participate in the competition in a month. Use your mimicry magic. When you participate in the competition, you have to represent the Rong Family. "
Nian Bing stared blankly for a moment, then said resolutely, "No, absolutely not. I can't agree to this."
Prince Rong frowned and said, "Don't you want your treasured sabers back? You should know that although I have promised to let you go, treasures of that level are hard to come by. "
Nian Bing said, "It's not that I don't want them back, but I can't represent the Rong Family in this competition. Because, I am a participant of this competition."
Prince Rong was shocked, "What? You are a participant? Which country are you representing? "
Nian Bing looked up at him and said slowly, "I am representing the Ice Moon Empire. Of course, I can't represent the Ice God Tower. Instead, it's the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Guild, which is always at the bottom of the list. " As he spoke, he took out his number ten tag from his Space Ring and placed it on the desk in front of Prince Rong, then continued, "My second master is the president of the Ice Water Empire's Magic Guild, Wind Archmage Long Zhi. I owe him a debt of gratitude. I am an elder of the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Union. "
Looking at the number plate on the desk, Prince Rong suddenly smiled. Looking at his smile, Nian Bing's heart was filled with a strange feeling. When she was young, she really wanted to see her grandfather's smile! However, all of her childhood memories were not as much as what she saw today. Unfortunately, in her heart, he was no longer her grandfather.
Prince Rong said, "I can't deny that you're very smart. If I'm not mistaken, you want to use the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Union to deal with the Ice God Tower? This time, you came to participate in the competition to deal a blow to the Ice God Tower's arrogance, right? But, are you sure you can win against the representative of the Ice God Tower? "
Nian Bing's heart shook. As expected of the Huarong Empire's number one Imperial Teacher! He was able to see so many things from this small number plate. Although he was shocked, he didn't show it on his face. He said indifferently, "There are some things in life that one can't lose. Even if the representative of the Ice God Tower is strong, I don't believe that she can reach the realm of Archmage at the age of twenty-five. You've seen my Mimic Magic. As long as the opponent is a Archmage, I have a chance to win with my skills. If I can't win, I don't know if you've heard of a forbidden spell that costs you to curse yourself. "
"What?" Nian Bing's first words didn't surprise Prince Rong, but her last words made Prince Rong stand up from his seat. "You learned the Life Curse? Where did you learn it from? " Prince Rong couldn't be more familiar with the Life Curse. It was a forbidden spell that was used to put one's life on the line. In the past, he had a friend who knew this spell from somewhere. In a crisis, that friend used the Life Curse to burn his own life to save Prince Rong. Therefore, he was very attached to this curse.
Nian Bing said calmly, "I'm sorry, Prince Rong. I can't tell you this. You just need to know that I know this spell. I'm determined to win this competition. "
Prince Rong sighed and looked at Nian Bing with sparkling eyes. This grandson of his had brought him too much shock. Tian 'er, you went, but you brought back such an outstanding grandson. Are you blaming me? Maybe Nian Bing is right. I was too stubborn and self-opinionated. I only thought about myself and my family. I didn't think about your feelings. A person's personality would change with age. If it were ten years ago, Prince Rong would have locked Nianbing up. However, it was different now. He was already old. He was already in his eighties, and he had changed from liking peace to liking liveliness. In particular, he valued his family much more than before. Looking at the handsome and tall grandson in front of him who refused to acknowledge him, and his son who had almost passed away, his heart softened.
There was a flash of light, and the Unsweet-Looking Prince used some kind of spatial magic item to summon a six-colored light on his desk. The entire study room was instantly filled with a layer of treasure aura. It was Nian Bing's six magic sabers. Perhaps the manufacturer had sensed Nian Bing's aura, as the six divine sabers were vibrating at the same time. The Proud Heaven Saber even let out a faint humming sound. Nian Bing couldn't hide the excitement in his heart when he saw the six sabers. His gaze landed on the light of the sabers, as if he was looking at his best friends.
"Take them. No matter if you admit it or not, you are my grandson. You or Rong Bing will be the final champion. You will help me embarrass the Ice God Tower. However, if you don't want to get into trouble, think of a way to change your appearance after you leave here. "Prince Rong's gaze softened as he looked at Nian Bing, waiting for him to take his things.
Nian Bing looked at Prince Rong in a daze. She never thought that she would be able to take back the six swords so easily. Her eyes flashed, and finally, the temptation of the treasured swords dispelled the doubts in her heart. She put the six swords into her spatial ring one by one. "Prince Rong, I have to go."
Prince Rong nodded and said, "You can go. You are wearing Rong Bing's clothes now. With your similar appearance, no one will stop you. I think we will meet again soon. "
Taking a deep breath, she looked deeply into Prince Rong's deep eyes. Nian Bing found that the hatred in her heart had faded a little. She couldn't help but think to herself. Was this the feeling of blood being thicker than water? Even if she hated him, even if he had done many wrong things to her and her father in the past, he was still her grandfather. Now, Nian Bing understood why her father didn't resist when facing Prince Rong. Without saluting, she turned and walked towards the door. When she opened the door to the study, her footsteps stopped. "If I avenge my parents, perhaps I will return to this home."
Nian Bing's figure disappeared. Prince Rong sat back in his chair as if he had suddenly aged a few years. His deep eyes became blank, and his hands trembled slightly. "Tian 'er, Tian' er, are you really dead? Don't worry, I'll get justice for you. You're my son after all! It seems that I will have to spend the rest of my remaining years in the midst of battle. " Seeing Nian Bing again, knowing that his son was dead, Prince Rong had already made a decision. Raising his head, he looked towards the distant north. "Wait for me, we will have a chance to meet again."
Not long after Nian Bing walked out of the room, she met Rong Bing who was anxiously waiting. When Rong Bing saw that Nian Bing was unharmed, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. "How was it? Did Grandfather make things difficult for you? "
Nian Bing shook her head and said, "No. And he even returned my knife to me. Brother, there is something I have to tell you. I will also be participating in the New Star Magician Competition in a month. "
Rong Bing didn't care and said, "That's good! Since Grandfather chose to let you participate, it means that your strength is above mine. Nian Bing, it seems that you haven't wasted these years. "
"No, brother, you misunderstood. Although I will be participating, I will not be representing the Huarong Empire. I will be representing the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild. Maybe we will meet in the competition. "
Rong Bing frowned and said, "You will be representing the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild? It doesn't matter. Even if we meet in the competition, it won't be a big deal. "
Nian Bing grabbed Rong Bing's shoulder. "Brother, promise me that if we meet in the competition, you won't go easy on me, okay?"
Rong Bing's eyes flashed with a trace of a smile. "Don't worry, I won't go easy on you. But I hope that we won't meet too early. That way, we can get rid of more obstacles, right? "
Nian Bing clearly didn't expect Rong Bing to be so unconcerned about the competition. "Brother, if I win in the end. Will you blame me if I win? "
Rong Bing laughed and said, "Do you think I am that kind of person? The championship is won by one's ability. If you win the championship, it only means that you have the ability. I will only be happy for you. "
"Then I will be leaving. Prince Rong didn't make things difficult for me. Do you remember the address I gave you? If you need anything, you can find me there." There was no need for her to stay.
Rong Bing nodded and said with a smile, "Then I won't see you out. You can leave the same way you came in. It seems that I will have to hide for a while before appearing again. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "That's right! We really look alike. But, Big Brother! You seem to have a lot of romantic debts. On the first day I arrived in Du Tian City, I was mistaken by two of your close female friends. In the future, if the sisters-in-law mistook me for you, it will be troublesome. "
Listening to Nian Bing's teasing, Rong Bing couldn't help but blush. "Don't talk nonsense. I am not married yet. How can you have sisters-in-law? How can I have so many close female friends? Who did you meet? "
Nian Bing said, "One is Brother Mei's younger sister, and the other is called Enoch. Thanks to you, Miss Enoch also gave me a very useful magic item. She even paid for it for me. Brother, if you see her next time, you have to thank her. Hehe. "
Rong Bing smiled bitterly and said, "So you are talking about the two of them. Miss Mei and I don't have anything going on. It's just that she keeps pestering me. Her brother only knows how to add fuel to the fire."
Nian Bing's eyes moved and smiled, "Then you are saying that Miss Enoch has something going on with you?"
Rong Bing sighed softly and said, "It's just a political marriage. Her full name is Enoch Hua. She is the current Emperor Hua Tian's most beloved granddaughter. We have been engaged since we were young. In another two years, we will be married. Luckily, my luck is not bad. Enoch does not have the arrogance of the imperial family. However, you can even fool her. It seems that the two of us are really alike! "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Now I am relieved. It's not a big deal to receive a gift from my sisters-in-law. When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."
"Alright, you just escaped from Grandfather's place and you are already smiling. Hurry up and leave. It won't be good if we meet other people." Rong Bing said with a smile.
Nian Bing sighed softly and said, "Brother, do you know? I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. It feels good to be with you. Before, I had to rely on myself for everything. Now that I have seen you, at least I have believers in my heart. I don't have to wear a mask anymore. Brother, I am leaving. Take care. "Nian Bing squeezed his brother's shoulder and turned to leave.
When he returned to the inn, it was already afternoon. Nian Bing's neck was already drumming. He didn't feel it before because he was nervous, but now that he was relaxed, the feeling of hunger kept attacking him. He only recovered 30% of his mental strength, making him feel very tired. He was too lazy to go out and eat, so he casually ordered some food in the inn. Hearing these ordinary food, he couldn't help but miss his cooking skills. Recently, he had been busy practicing magic and felt that he owed his stomach a lot. After this competition, he must make a good meal to comfort himself and let his brother have a taste of his cooking.
After the meal, meditation took up most of Nian Bing's time. When he woke up from meditation, his magical power and mental strength had been fully recovered. The feeling of magic being fully recovered was really good. Nian Bing didn't continue to meditate, and took out the magic notes that Rong Bing gave him from the space ring to read. Although the two of them walked different paths of cultivation, Rong Bing was still a Magic Shooter after all. From his notes, Nian Bing saw a lot of Rong Bing's understanding of fire magic. These detailed annotations were much better than the magic books. Soon, Nian Bing was engrossed in reading. Just like when he was in the library, he was fully immersed in the knowledge of magic.
However, this situation didn't last for too long, because there was a knock on the door.
"Nian Bing, are you there?" Rong Bing's familiar voice came from outside the door, waking Nian Bing from his reading. He hurriedly jumped off the bed and walked a few steps to the door to welcome Rong Bing in.
"Brother, why are you here? The New Magician Competition is about to begin. Don't you need to practice more? "Nian Bing looked at her brother with some surprise.
Rong Bing smiled and said, "The effect of last-minute practice is limited after all. I have confidence in myself. Take a look at what this is. " As he spoke, he took out a book and handed it to Nian Bing. To be precise, it wasn't a real book, but a stack of paper threaded with thread. Nian Bing took a look and saw a few big words on the first page: Complete Collection of Ancient Magic Arrays and Annotations. When he opened it again, he saw that the handwriting on the paper was still fresh. This was obviously a copy of a book!
Looking up, Nian Bing saw that Rong Bing's eyes were bloodshot. Without asking, she knew what her brother had done. Nian Bing's eyes were moist. "Brother, you …"
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Take a look and see if you can use it. You must be better than me in magic arrays. I fainted when I saw those complicated symbols. You have to work harder! I think this book should be enough for you to study for a while. I copied it from more than a dozen books on magic arrays. They are all extremely complicated ancient magic arrays. The annotations were left behind by a few grandfathers in the past. The explanations are very detailed. It should be very useful to you. "
Nian Bing held the paper tightly in her hand. This was the result of Rong Bing's sleepless night! Twelve years had passed, but her brother hadn't changed. He was still as good to her as before.
"Alright, we're brothers. If you say anything grateful, don't blame me for falling out with you. You're finally back. Let's go. I'll take you out to taste the delicacies of our capital. Magic research isn't urgent. It's not good to be too tired. "As he spoke, he pulled Nian Bing and walked out.
That's right! There was no need for thanks between brothers. Some things were better done with actions than with words. Nian Bing carefully put the stack of paper and the notebook into her spatial ring. Then, she followed Rong Bing out of the inn. Before leaving the inn, Nian Bing used her newly obtained brooch to change her appearance and hair. Her hair turned black. Under the effect of the brooch, there were some subtle changes to his face. His facial features only changed a little, but when added together, he was completely different from before. He was still a handsome young man, but he no longer resembled Rong Bing.
"Brother, you've worked hard for a night. You don't have to entertain me. Go back and rest. Maintaining good mental strength is a must for a magician. " Nian Bing saw a trace of fatigue in Rong Bing's eyes. She couldn't bear it. It was all because of her!
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Alright, even if you don't eat, I'll eat! You know that I've worked hard for a night. How can I not properly reward myself? It's almost noon. After lunch, I'll go back and meditate. " Since he had already said so, Nian Bing couldn't reject Rong Bing's kindness. The two of them took large strides and walked towards the most prosperous city center of the Capital City.
As they walked, Rong Bing explained the surrounding buildings to Nian Bing. He was like a guide. Other than the occasional tiredness in his eyes, it was hard to tell that he hadn't slept at all.
"Look, our destination is in front of us. This restaurant is rather famous. Although it's not big, their food is definitely top-notch and cheap. I've always been picky, but I'm a regular here. Even Grandpa Lian often gets his servants to buy food from here. "Rong Bing pointed to a shop not far away as he spoke.
Nian Bing looked over and saw that not far away, there was a two-story shop that was as crowded as a marketplace. There was actually a long queue outside, and there were two large golden words on the signboard above the shop — Extremely Fresh. When he saw this, he couldn't help but smile and say, "This shop is really arrogant! What do they do? Seafood? "
Rong Bing shook his head and said, "Of course not. Seafood can be found everywhere, but this place is unique. Let's go, I won't lie to you. You'll know once you try it. "
As he spoke, Rong Bing pulled Nian Bing around the long line and arrived in front of the shop. The waiter who was in charge of maintaining order at the entrance immediately came up to them when he saw them, "Young Prince, you're here. Let's go to the same place."
In front of outsiders, Rong Bing didn't smile warmly at Nian Bing. His face was covered with a layer of ice. He didn't even bother to speak and only nodded.
The waiter seemed to be used to him being like this and quickly led the two into Extremely Fresh.
Someone in the long line at the entrance said in surprise, "Didn't they say that there was no room inside? Why did they go in? "
Another person disdainfully said, "Little guy, you must be new. You don't even know Prince Rong's Young Prince. Prince Rong's family serves the country and the people. If they refuse to eat, we won't let them. You won't starve to death if you eat a little later. "
Although the latter person's words were very rude, the person who spoke first didn't even dare to fart. He quickly lowered his head and obediently continued to line up.
Nian Bing and Rong Bing walked into Extremely Fresh. As soon as they walked in, a strong medicinal fragrance hit them in the face. Nian Bing's nose twitched and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. From this mixed fragrance, he actually couldn't tell what the ingredients were. The reason was simple. It was because there were too many ingredients in this mixed fragrance. It wasn't something that could be determined in a short period of time.
This hotel was very special. Every table was separated by bamboo curtains. They could only vaguely see that there were people inside, but they couldn't see clearly. The waiter led Nian Bing and Rong Bing to the innermost table on the first floor by the window. When they jumped over the other tables, they could see through the bamboo curtains that there were already people inside. Only this table was empty.
This location was very good. As long as they lifted the bamboo curtains, they could clearly see everything on the street. Although there were many people in the restaurant, it wasn't noisy.
Rong Bing smiled and said, "It's just the two of us. Let's sit here. Although it's not a single room, I like the fresh air here. The private rooms on the second floor can seat more than ten people. We don't need one. "
Hearing Rong Bing's simple words, Nian Bing couldn't help but have a better understanding of this older brother of hers. With his identity as a little prince, it wasn't a big deal for him to leave a private room for many years. But he only left a small table. This kind of simple style was what Nian Bing liked.
Rong Bing raised his head and said to the waiter, "It's the same as usual. But today I want eight more sets of ingredients. You can choose. I want the best. "
The waiter agreed and turned to leave.
After a while, a large clay pot was brought out. In front of the clay pot was a square iron box. It was unknown what was inside. The waiter skillfully opened one side of the square box. He took out a lighter and lit it. Immediately, with a puff, flames came out of the box and roasted the bottom of the clay pot.
Nian Bing looked at the small iron box in shock. She didn't understand how it was done. Rong Bing saw the doubt in her heart. He smiled and said, "This is the first method of this restaurant. The method is actually very simple, but the cost is very high. So, don't think that this restaurant is small. In fact, the food here is more expensive than the restaurants outside. Do you know what's inside this iron box? It's a high degree of strong liquor. It hasn't been blended in any way. If it's ignited with fire, it will naturally become the best heating material. Its biggest characteristic is that it doesn't smoke. "
Liquor. Hearing this word, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster. As a top chef, he couldn't help but think of a lot of things. It wasn't just heating. At the same time, he could also think of many cooking methods. If the rich liquor was used in the dishes, as long as it was used properly, it would definitely have a very good effect.
When Nian Bing was thinking about his cooking skills, the waiter opened the lid of the clay pot and turned to walk out. The rich aroma attracted Nian Bing to look at the pot. He was surprised to find that it was actually a pot of porridge. Under the heat of the fire, dense bubbles were rolling. The aroma was coming from the porridge. Nian Bing sniffed and couldn't help but praise: "Good porridge. Although the surface is plain porridge, there's thick juice made from old hens. In addition, there are some specially selected herbs ground into powder. Let me think, there should be wolfberry, panax notoginseng. En, there are one or two things that I can't smell."
This time it was Rong Bing's turn to be surprised, "Brother, have you come here to eat before? How come you know more than me? After eating so many times, I still don't know what's in his porridge."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Brother, your brother is not only a magician, but also a chef! If there's a chance, I'll let you taste my cooking. "
While they were talking, the waiter came up again. There were eight dishes of ingredients on the large tray in his hand. There were four kinds of vegetables and four kinds of meat. The vegetables were chrysanthemum flower, rape, lettuce, and water spinach. The four kinds of meat were beef, mutton, chicken, and pork. Whether it was the vegetables or the meat, they were all raw and didn't go through any processing. Seeing this scene, Nian Bing couldn't help but be surprised: "Don't tell me it's porridge?"
Rong Bing picked up the plate of chrysanthemum flower and put it into the porridge and said with a smile: "Yes, it's porridge. The porridge itself is very good. Every time you add a new ingredient, the taste will change. It's absolutely delicious! Moreover, the nutritional value is also very high. " While speaking, he used a spoon to stir the pot, so that the chrysanthemum flower and the porridge fully merged together.
This was the first time Nian Bing saw this kind of novel eating method, so he couldn't help but be very interested. The chrysanthemum flower was very easy to cook. When it was hot, it shrank. Rong Bing put a bowl in front of him, at the same time, he also put a bowl for himself. Then he put a plate of pork, "Quickly taste it. Didn't you say you're a chef? How about you taste the delicious porridge? "
The delicious porridge and vegetables changed the taste. Ling Nian Bing was pleasantly surprised. These days, it was the first time he ate such delicious food. After a while, a bowl of delicious porridge was already in his stomach. Rong Bing continued to put plates of ingredients into the pot. Just as he said, every time he added a new ingredient, the taste of the porridge would change. When the porridge in the pot was reduced to a certain level, the waiter would add the prepared porridge. After the first eight plates of ingredients were eaten, there were eight plates of various kinds of seafood, such as shrimp, squid, crab meat, and so on. The taste changed more frequently. Nian Bing and Rong Bing were both hot-blooded youths. The two of them had a big appetite. They ate three pots of porridge and sixteen plates of ingredients before they stopped in satisfaction.
"Brother, this is really a good place. Seeing this cooking method has inspired me a lot. It's really worthy of being called the Hundred Flavor Porridge!" Nian Bing looked at the empty pot in front of him in admiration. At this time, the liquor in the iron box below had been burned out. The waiter brought a plate of fruit for the two of them to drink. Nian Bing ate two pieces of fruit and said, "Brother, I need to go to the toilet. Wait for me for a while."
Rong Bing laughed and said, "You're going to the toilet after eating. You're really straightforward. Go quickly, go out and turn right. Go to the end and turn left. You'll see the place of reincarnation of the five grains." After saying that, he winked at Nianbing.
Nian Bing got up and left. Rong Bing's eyes revealed a knowing smile as he leisurely ate the fruit. At this time, he suddenly heard some noise outside. He couldn't help but lift the bamboo curtain and look outside. He saw that the waiter responsible for maintaining order outside was politely declining a young girl. Seeing this young girl, even the arrogant Rong Bing couldn't help but be a little stunned. This young girl was too beautiful. Although her aqua blue dress wasn't very neat, it couldn't hide her peerless beauty. Her pink long hair was scattered behind her back, looking a little messy. Her travel-worn appearance made people feel sorry for her. Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost. She was slightly angry and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. You have so many rules here. I'm not eating here, can't I take it away? I've traveled a long way, and I'm very hungry. "
The waiter was also fascinated by the young girl's appearance. However, due to the strict rules of the restaurant, he had to say helplessly, "I'm sorry, miss. We have rules here. No takeout. You can see that there's such a long line outside. If you want to eat here, please line up at the back. We can't break the rules!" As soon as the waiter said that, before the young girl could say anything, someone in the crowd in the line suddenly said, "Miss, come to my table. It's almost my turn. If you don't mind, why don't you eat at the same table with us?" As soon as the waiter said that, there was a burst of agreement.
A cold light flashed in the young girl's eyes. "No, thank you for your kindness. I don't believe that there's no place to eat in this big city."
