Fengzhi hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't like what Dumb and Xuanyue said, he didn't want to offend them, so he nodded and said, "Since you said so, then let's wait and see. We, the Continental Union of Magicians, never take the initiative to provoke them. As long as they are calm as you said, there won't be any conflict. By the way, is Lardas trying to rope you in? "
Even though Dumb was slow, he could tell that Fengzhi didn't trust him and Xuanyue. A trace of anger rose in his heart, but he said indifferently, "He didn't rope us in, you're thinking too much. Since the matter of the Guild has been settled, we'll take our leave. Brother, let's go. " After that, he strode out. Xuanyue snorted, glanced at Fengzhi, and followed Dumb.
Fengzhi regretted his impulsiveness. Seeing that Dumb and Xuanyue were determined to leave, he didn't ask them to stay. He could only sigh and watch them go away.
As soon as Dumb and Xuanyue walked out of the Sorcerers Guild, an anxious voice came from behind, "Wait for me, I'm still here!" A green figure chased after them. It was Oliveira.
Xuanyue said, "Why? Are you still willing to follow us? Aren't you afraid that Teacher Fengzhi will accuse you of betraying the guild? "
Oliveira said awkwardly, "Actually, actually, you've misunderstood. Teacher Fengzhi is the person in charge of the Continental Union of Magicians here, so he naturally has to be careful. After Lardas talked to you in secret, how could you not arouse Teacher Fengzhi's suspicion? However, I absolutely believe you. Don't blame Teacher Fengzhi, okay? "
Dumb said, "We won't blame anyone, but we don't want others to suspect us. As time goes by, Elder Fengzhi will understand. Since you're willing to travel the continent with us, let's go together. "
When Oliveira heard that Dumb did not refuse her, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then where are we going now? Directly to the Death Mountain Range? "
Dumb shook his head and said, "No, we should go to Red Mongol first. We'll listen to Brother Xuanri for the itinerary."
Xuanyue took out a map from her bosom and looked at it. She said, "We'll leave the city from the east gate. If we keep heading east, we will reach the Red Mongol. The largest city of the Red Mongol is their capital, Red Nightmare City. That will be our next stop. Brother Villa, you still don't know, but Dumb and I are mercenaries. This is the birthplace of mercenaries, how can we not go and take a look? "
Oliveira was shocked. "Mercenary?"
"Yeah! Why, can't I? Let's find a place to eat first. We haven't eaten for several days. "
Only now did Oliveira realize that Dumb and Xuanyue had not made any progress since they woke up from their cultivation. She could not help but feel dissatisfied with Fengzhi. After all, he had helped the union so much, but he actually left without eating. This was not justifiable no matter how she looked at it. She quickly said, "I'm really sorry. Because of Lardas's appearance just now, it disrupted Teacher Fengzhi's mood and caused him to be unable to entertain you. This meal is on me. Let's go to the largest restaurant in Andis City and have a meal as an apology on behalf of Teacher Fengzhi. "
Looking at Oliveira's sincere gaze, Dumb smiled and said, "There's no need for you to treat. I'm not blaming Elder Fengzhi. After all, we are not familiar with him. It's understandable for him to suspect us. Since we are leaving, take us to the largest restaurant here and have a taste of the food here. It's on me. " He and Xuanyue had gotten more than 50 diamond coins from Moraz. Their pockets were full, so they naturally spoke with more confidence.
Oliveira smiled. "The Yakin people are very particular about food. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Let's go. The largest Golden Jade Restaurant in Andis City is right next to the famous Andes Trading Ground." She said as she excitedly led the way.
Ever since they came to Andis City, they had not had a good look at the city. Now that they had settled the matter of the Sorcerers Guild, they naturally relaxed. Dumb followed Oliveira through the streets and alleys. After walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at the Andes Trading Ground in the east of the city.
The Andes Trading Ground was the largest trading ground for rare metals on the mainland. More than 60% of the rare metals on the mainland were traded here. The trading ground was under the strict control of the Yakin people. Goods traded here had to go through strict quality checks. Therefore, almost all merchants who came here to purchase metals would return satisfied. The influence of the Andes Trading Ground continued to grow. Finally, there was today's document.
Looking at the tall walls in front of them, Oliveira said, "This is the Andes Trading Ground. The security is controlled by the army. No one dares to cause trouble here. Trading is fair. It's one of the favorite places for merchants."
Xuan Yue curiously looked at the huge gate that was more than ten meters tall and said, "I've heard of this place before. Since we're here, let's go in and take a look. Maybe there's something I want."
Dumb said, "Brother, your … let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner." He had wanted to say that Dumb's curiosity was as big as Yue's! But he was afraid of angering Xuanri, so he quickly changed his words. Xuanyue looked at Dumb with confusion. "Brother, are you hungry? Alright, let's go eat first. Brother Villa, you lead the way. "
Oliveira didn't feel the strange atmosphere between them and said, "Okay, we'll get there from the side."
The three of them walked along the edge of the Andes Trading Ground to the side. Sure enough, a tall and gorgeous building appeared in their field of vision. It was a three-story building with a very imposing appearance. On both sides of the main door stood two huge stone pillars with a diameter of one meter. They led straight to the top of the building. The seven clean white steps were spotless. The four-meter-tall door was shining with golden light. There was a black board on the door with three big words — Golden Jade Building. On both sides of the door stood eight young girls in pink dresses. These young girls were about 1.7 meters tall. They were beautiful and had sweet smiles on their faces.
This scene reminded Dumb of the scene in the Dark City's Dark Grand Nightclub. He subconsciously touched the portrait of Bing in his arms. Bing's voice and smile kept flashing in his mind. Thinking of that pitiful young girl, his eyes became dull and a little dazed.
Xuanyue felt the change in Dumb's expression and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Have you been here before? "
Dumb woke up from his accelerated thoughts, "Ah! No, why would I be here before? It's just that this place is very similar to the casino I saw when I saved the elves in the Sunset Empire. "
Xuanyue said impatiently, "Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to the beauties standing at the door." Her voice was raised a lot, and the sixteen young girls at the door immediately looked in their direction.
Dumb was embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Brother, lower your voice. It's not good to let others hear you. Why would I take a fancy to any beauties? Let's go, I'm hungry. The boss here must be a very good businessman. It's impossible not to make money by opening a restaurant next to the Andes Trading Ground where merchants gather. "
Oliveira looked at Dumb's embarrassed look and couldn't help but find it funny. He was so strong, but at this time, his face was red like a young boy who had never seen the world.
Xuanyue said, "What's there to be afraid of? If you didn't think too much, why would you be afraid of others knowing? " In fact, even she didn't know why she was jealous, but she subconsciously said something unreasonable. She looked up at Dumb with some apprehension and found that Dumb didn't look angry after listening to her words, but just embarrassed.
"Welcome." A clear voice sounded, and it scared Dumb and Xuanyue, who had their own thoughts. It turned out that they had arrived at the door of the Golden Jade Building. The voices of the sixteen young girls added together was still very shocking. Because of what Xuanyue said just now, Dumb lowered his head and didn't dare to look at those young girls. He followed Oliveira and quickly walked inside. The two young girls at the door quickly opened the door for them and welcomed them in.
Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Dumb's red face relaxed, and he raised his head to look around. The floor of the hall of the Golden Jade Building was completely paved with a dark red carpet. Dozens of milky white stone pillars were scattered around the hall in an orderly manner. About fifty dining tables were placed neatly in the middle of the hall. Beside each table stood a young girl wearing a white top and a pink dress. The most prominent decoration was a wide pool in the middle of the hall. The pool was square and about ten meters long. Blue ripples slightly rippled on the surface of the water. The water was crystal clear, and if you walked in front of it, you could clearly see the pebbles at the bottom of the pool. Next to the pool, there were two spiral stairs that went up. The layout was very elegant.
Because it was still morning, there were no people eating in the hall. As soon as they saw Dumb and the other two coming in, two waitresses immediately came up to greet them. Looking at the attire of the three, they were a little confused. Because they left the Continental Union of Magicians in a hurry, Xuanyue was still wearing the civilian clothes, and Dumb's red magician robe was also torn in many places. Only Oliveira's clothes were clean. It was no wonder that the waitresses would find it strange.
"Excuse me, are there three of you?" One of the waitresses asked tentatively.
Following the waitress's gaze, Oliveira noticed the attire of Dumb and the other two. She hurriedly said, "We are magicians from the Continental Union of Magicians. Just the three of us. Bring us to the private room on the third floor."
There was a hint of surprise in the waitress' eyes, and she said respectfully, "I'm really sorry, the private room on the third floor has been booked for this afternoon, so …"
Oliveira frowned and said, "We're just having a casual meal. It will be over in a while. We won't be able to eat until noon. What's wrong with letting us sit first? We, the Continental Union of Magicians, have been here a lot. " The private room on the third floor was famous far and near. Not only was it elegantly decorated, but it also had the most considerate service. It was the favorite place of rich businessmen.
When the waitress saw that Oliveira was a little angry, she said in fear and trepidation, "I'm really sorry, Sir Magician. The patriarch has invited guests from the Red Mongol this afternoon. For the sake of peace and quiet, we have booked the entire third floor. We still need some time to decorate, so we can't have the three of you. I'm really sorry. We also have private rooms on the second floor. Do you think you can condescend?"
Oliveira said angrily, "Patriarch? The patriarch of the Yakin people? It seems that the business of the Golden Jade Building is really good! Even the patriarch is here. "
Dumb said, "Forget it. Let's go to the second floor. We're just having a meal. Don't make things difficult for them."
The waitress was relieved and quickly said, "Please, I'll take you to the private room on the second floor." With that, she led the three of them to the spiral staircase in the center of the hall. When they reached the spiral staircase, the sound of water splashing attracted the attention of Dumb and Xuanyue. They saw two big heads that looked like black silk emerge from the pool. They glanced at Dumb and the others before diving back into the clear water. The black bodies swayed freely in the pool. Occasionally, they would come out of the water and stir up waves. Dumb recognized them. They were marine creatures that he had seen fishermen catch when he was young in the small city of Nino. These creatures were called fur seals by the fishermen because their fur could be sold for a very good price. He didn't expect to see them again here. He couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Xuanyue grew up in the Holy Hall and naturally had never seen fur seals. She looked at the two fat bodies and was pleasantly surprised. "So cute! What are these? "
The waitress explained, "These are fur seals that our boss brought over from the coast of the Tenjin Empire. They're for ornamental purposes and are very docile. Since they grew up on the cold coast of the extreme north, and the temperature here is high, not only is the water here fresh from the coast, but we also have to hire a water magician to cast ice magic on it every once in a while, so it's much colder than normal water. That's the only way they can adapt. These fur seals have been living here for more than two years. They're very fond of their apprentices. " The waitress looked at the fur seals' round bodies and smiled knowingly. She was obviously very fond of them.
Oliveira said, "These fur seals are one of the Golden Jade Building's trademarks. They're very rare inland. Haven't you seen them before, Brother Xuanri? "
Mystic Moon leaned on the railing by the side of the pool, her eyes following the movements of the fur seals. "Yeah! I've never seen them before. I didn't know such cute creatures existed. Can I touch them? "Xuanyue looked at the waitress expectantly. The waitress hesitated, then smiled. "Guests aren't usually allowed to come into contact with them, but the magicians of the Continental Union of Magicians are honored guests of our restaurant. I'm sure the boss won't blame you, so we'll make an exception this time." As she spoke, she walked over to the edge of the pool and picked up a small bucket. "These are their favorite little fish. Feed them a few, and they'll be close to you."
Xuanyue took the bucket excitedly and picked up a small fish. She held it close to the surface and waved it at the fur seals. "Come on! I'll give you something good to eat. "
Perhaps they heard Xuanyue's call or smelled the food, but two fur seals popped their heads out of the water at the same time. Their bodies were about a meter long, and their dark red eyes were fixed on the fish in Xuanyue's hand. They swam over quickly, their fast speed forming a sharp contrast with their bloated bodies. Xuanyue became unusually excited at the sight of them. With two splashes, the fur seals popped out of the pool in front of Xuanyue, splashing water on Xuanyue's sleeves. The slightly larger one moved faster, swallowing the fish in Xuanyue's hand in one gulp. Xuanyue took the opportunity to pat its smooth head, and it didn't resist, only chewing on the delicacy in its mouth. Xuanyue took out another fish from the bucket and fed it to the other fur seal.
Oliveira watched as Xuanyue played tirelessly with the fur seals. She whispered to Dumb, "Big brother Dumb, why is brother Xuanri acting like a girl? He's so chatty."
Dumb smiled at Xuanyue's excited look and said nonchalantly, "He's lived in the Holy Hall since he was young. It's only natural that he'd be happy to see new things. Let him play for a while."
Xuanyue fed the entire bucket of fish to the two fur seals before standing up reluctantly. Her sleeves were already wet from the cold water. She rubbed her cold hands together and said to Dumb, "Big brother, they're so cute. If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to raise a couple of them in the Holy Hall."
Dumb smiled, "You don't have to. Isn't it better for them to live freely in the ocean than in a pond? Let's go eat first. "
Xuanyue nodded and looked at the pond. The two fur seals looked at her as if they were greeting her. "Yeah! It's so pitiful to be locked up here! "
With the waiter leading the way, the three of them went up the spiral staircase to the second floor. The second floor was completely filled with private rooms. The waiter led them to a large room at the very end. "This is the best private room on the second floor. Sir Magician, what do you think of this?"
The private room was luxuriously decorated. The round table in the center could seat fifteen people. All the cutlery was made of silver, and there was even a bathroom in the private room. It was very thoughtful.
Dumb said, "As expected of the largest restaurant in Andis City. How luxurious! Villa, you're the host. You order. "
"Alright." Oliveira took the menu from the waiter and looked at it. As she flipped through the pages, she said, "Let's have an escargot, a North Sea Ice Crab, three lobster wings …" In a short while, she had ordered more than ten dishes. Only when Dumb said that it was enough did she stop. "Alright, we'll have these. The ingredients must be fresh. Hurry up. Oh, right, give us a pot of your signature wine. "
"Yes, Sir Magician." The waiter took the list and walked out.
Dumb said, "Villa, why do you want so many dishes? Can we even finish it? It's too extravagant. "
Oliveira laughed, "I don't usually eat such expensive food, but I'm apologizing to you on behalf of Teacher Fengzhi! How can it be shabby? Don't worry, the food here isn't big, but it's all very exquisite. We should be able to finish it. Before we left, Teacher Fengzhi, who has always been stingy, gave me 100 diamond coins to spend. It's enough for us to eat many times. " Actually, Fengzhi wanted to give him 100 gold coins, but he took the wrong purse. He was regretting it in the union now.
Xuan Yue said with a smile, "That means you are richer than us! Then I won't stand on ceremony. I haven't had a good meal in a long time. The last time was in Memu City. "
As soon as the food in Memu City was mentioned, Dumb suddenly remembered that Xuanyue used light magic to make a spoon as money. He couldn't help but smile, "With you here, we won't have to worry about starvation even if we don't have money."
At this moment, the waiter walked in again with a small tray in her hand. On the tray was an exquisite porcelain pot. She poured a glass of amber liquid for Dumb and the other two. The rich aroma immediately filled the room. The aroma penetrated deep into their lungs and made them feel refreshed.
Xuanyue looked at the liquid in front of her doubtfully and said, "Brother Villa, this isn't a bar. I don't drink." She drank tequila with the three skeletons last time. She still had lingering fear of the burning sensation in her internal organs.
Oliveira said, "Don't worry, this isn't wine. It's the specialty feed here, amber dew. Try it, it's very delicious."
Xuanyue had always been overflowing with interest in new things. She picked up the silver cup inlaid with red glaze and took a sip. She was immediately moved and said, "Ah! It's so sweet!" It's so sweet! "As he drank the Amber Dew, a strong aroma of rose seeped into his lungs, and waves of heat rose. All the pores on her body seemed to have opened up. It was indescribably comfortable.
The waiter said, "Amber dew is brewed from a variety of precious herbs and rose petals. It's very beneficial to the body. Almost all the people who come to our place give up drinking and choose it. If you drink it regularly, it can nourish the lungs, nourish the qi and blood, and prolong your life. "
Oliveira said with a smile, "I've been addicted to it ever since I drank it for the first time. Let's not talk about the nutrition, just the taste is already indescribably good. Although my monthly salary isn't low, I can't always come here to drink it. This pot of amber dew costs 30 gold coins, which is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year. Amber dew is only produced in the Golden Jade Building. I heard that even the imperial palace of the Tenjin Empire would specially come here to buy it. "
Dumb enjoyed the comfortable feeling brought by the amber dew and said with a smile, "You really know how to enjoy yourself! But this is indeed much better than wine. "
The dishes that Oliveira ordered were served one after another, each extremely exquisite, each with a different style. Even Xuanyue, who came from the Holy Hall, was full of praise when she tasted the lobster wings. Each person had a small plate of lobster wings, with shark fins as the base and pink lobster meat carved in the shape of a flower. It was a combination of the different flavors of the shark fins and lobster.
After eating for nearly two hours, the three of them not only devoured all the delicacies, but also drank two pots of amber dew. Xuanyue leaned back in her comfortable chair, satisfied.
Xuanyue: "It's so good to eat! It's a pity that I don't have any space in my stomach. Otherwise, I'd eat more. "
Dumb laughed and said, "You have to be careful. If you eat too much and get fat, I'm afraid that no girl will marry you in the future."
Xuanyue blushed and said, "You're so annoying. You're the one who will become fat."
Oliveira said, "Let's eat again the next time we come back. Ah! It's already noon. Teachers, let's go. Waiter, the bill. "
"Please wait a moment," the waiter responded and turned to leave the private room.
Dumb frowned and said, "Brother Villa, didn't I tell you not to call us teachers? How could you forget again? "
Oliveira slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Yes! Look at my memory. I'll change, I'll definitely change. Oh, by the way, Brother Dumb, your magician robe is torn. I brought a few sets from the union, you can change into them. Brother Xuanri, do you want them? "
Xuanyue said, "Sure! The three of us wearing magician robes must look good. Three magicians will be welcomed wherever they go. Do you have a low-level light magician robe? "
Oliveira drew a line in the air and opened her portal bag. She smiled and said, "Yes, I do. I know that you don't want to show off, so I've brought a few sets of advanced mage robes. " She pointed to the magic mark on her chest and said, "Look, I've changed into an advanced magician myself. This way, no one will notice us." While speaking, she took out the light and fire magician robes from her portal bag and handed them over.
Dumb took the magician robe. Xuanyue said, "Let's go, brother. Let's go to the washroom to change."
Xuanyue blushed and said, "Brother, you go first. I'll change after you're done."
Dumb handed the light magician robe to Xuanyue and said with a smile, "What, we're both men and you're still shy? Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go first. "
Dumby changed his clothes very quickly. He took off his damaged magician's robe and put on a new one before he walked out. He looked much more spirited after putting on the new clothes. He said to Xuanyue, "I'm done. You can go."
Xuanyue walked into the washroom just as the attendant returned. She held the bill in her hand and said, "That's 210 gold coins in total." For some reason, her face was abnormally pale and her eyes revealed a sorrowful expression. She seemed to be very sad.
Oliveira took out a purse from his bosom, took out three diamond coins, and handed it over. "What happened? You don't look well! "
The attendant's eyes reddened as she took the coins. "They, they want to eat the two fur seals." Her tears flowed uncontrollably and wet the front of her white dress.
Dumby was shocked and said, "What? They want to eat the two fur seals? Didn't you say they were just for show? "
At this moment, Xuanyue had just come out of the washroom and heard Dumb's words. She stormed to the attendant. "Who, who wants to eat the two fur seals?"
The attendant choked. "They're so pitiful! They're just for show, but the guests from the Red Mongol are very interested in them. The chief asked us to cook the two fur seals for them, and the boss couldn't say anything due to the chief's authority. Big Black, Little Black, they, they want … "At this point, the attendant ran out, sobbing.
Although they had only known each other for a short while, Xuanyue had already fallen deeply in love with the two gentle sea creatures. She snorted angrily. "I'll go take a look. No one can touch them while I'm here." With that, she stormed out of the private room.
Oliveira and Dumb stood up. Dumb said, "Let's go take a look as well. Hopefully we can stop those people."
Oliveira frowned. "Since they're the guests of the Yakin people's chief, I'm afraid they're not ordinary people. They won't be easy to deal with. This is their territory. It's best if we don't cause trouble. "His personality was similar to Dumb's, and they both hated trouble.
When the two arrived downstairs, they saw Xuanyue blocking the pond, stopping the chefs of the Golden Jade Building from catching fur seals with a large net. To Dumb's surprise, all the attendants were on Xuanyue's side, automatically surrounding the pond. Their beautiful eyes were all red, clearly reluctant to part with the friends who had accompanied them for two years in the water.
The two chefs looked awkwardly at Xuanyue and the girls. One of them said, "Don't make it difficult for us. This is the chief's order, after all. Even the boss can't do anything about it. What's the point of you stopping them?"
Xuanyue snorted angrily. "Tell your boss to come see me. As long as I'm here, no one can even think about eating them." A faint white light emanated from Xuanyue's body, and the powerful heat caused the two chefs to tremble. They subconsciously took a few steps back, staring in shock at Xuanyue, who was dressed in a light elemental magic robe.
Dumb walked to Xuanyue's side and pressed down on her trembling shoulders. "Brother, don't be angry. There must be a way to solve this. I'll help you. " For some reason, ever since he met Xuanri in the Forest of Illusion, Dumb couldn't bear to see this "Yue's brother" angry.
Xuanyue nodded and silently chanted a few incantations. Under the surprised gazes of the Golden Jade Building, a faint golden light enveloped the pond. An extremely powerful barrier separated the pond from the outside world.
"Call your boss," Oliveira said to the two chefs. "Tell him the Continental Union of Magicians won't allow them to eat these two fur seals."
The chefs looked at the determined gazes of Dumb and the other two and retreated. The two of them gloomily left the hall and climbed up the spiral staircase to report the news. The waitresses breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two fur seals had survived the ordeal. Without prior agreement, they surrounded the benefactor who had saved the fur seals, Mystic Moon, in the center. Their gazes of surprise, admiration, and adoration made Mystic Moon's entire body tense up, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Lord Magician, you're so handsome! You must help us protect Blackie and Blackie! Don't let those people eat them! "
"Lord Magician, you're so handsome! Is this magic? You look so cool. "
"Lord Magician, are you free tonight? I get off work at eight. I feel so safe by your side! "
