Hao Ren looked at Lily eating happily (he had no idea why she was "in high spirits") and could not help but feel curious. He went up to taste the synthetic food and frowned: the food may not be as bad as Lily said, but it was definitely not good either. The solid food was bland and rough, and the paste had an unforgettable fishy sweet smell. Obviously, to ensure rapid production in large quantities, these foods were directly synthesized using the simplest synthesis formula. It seemed that even the Aerymian royal family was reluctant to take things from the eco-dome. The domes should be enough to meet the needs of the royal family, but it was an attitude.
Vivian and Y 'zaks also tasted the food curiously. The big demon said it tasted good, but Vivian and Lily had the same opinion: even when she was at her poorest, she had never eaten such terrible food. Anyway, Lily could not eat anymore after a few mouthfuls. She put the food back in the cabinet, took out a big bag of brown snacks from her bag and munched on them. She even gave a handful to Hao Ren and said, "Here, Mr. Landlord. Dinner is not going to be good, have some snacks to fill your stomach. If you want to eat, Battie, take it yourself. "
So, while waiting for Hilda to come back, Hao Ren, Vivian and Lily each had a bag of snacks around the table. Y 'zaks was not interested, so he found a quiet corner and sat down to do his routine of daydreaming.
"You can always find food on you." Hao Ren was not surprised that Lily had snacks with her. The girl's biggest superpower, other than shapeshifting, was supplies. The food in her bag was almost enough to help the poor in the mountains. "Oh, this is delicious. It tastes like beef. Where did you get it?"
Lily chewed on the brown beans and said, "Dog food..."
"Pfft —"
Hao Ren and Vivian almost spat on each other's face. Fortunately, both of them dodged in time. Hao Ren coughed hard and tried to clean his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me that this is dog food!?"
"It's delicious." Lily was puzzled by their reaction. "What a waste... It's more expensive than your breakfast."
Vivian could not help but smacked her lips when she heard Lily. "Ugh... It's not bad."
"Is that so?" Lily's tail wagged happily. "Actually, I don't really eat this. But once I went out to buy something, I got the wrong one. After I bought it, I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I tasted it. I was surprised to find that it tasted good. According to the ingredient list, it tastes better than human rice …"
Hao Ren finally cleaned up his mouth. He looked up in disbelief. "Dogs have such a good life these days?" he asked.
"Anyway, it's true that humans are not as good as dogs." Vivian nodded. "Take me for example, I'm a count."
Then the two young and beautiful girls (at least on the outside) continued to eat dog food in front of Hao Ren. Hao Ren could not stand it anymore. He turned his head away and pretended to look at the scenery. At the same time, he tried to hypnotize himself in his mind: These two were not human, so he could not use the world view of humans to trap them. Letting the two girls eat dog food in front of him was not abuse. Even if the law were to be enforced, he was confident that he could extricate himself...
Time passed quickly in the squeaking sound of the two strange girls. The short dusk ushered in the end. The sunlight hanging on the edge of the floating island sank rapidly as the island itself flipped. At this time, there was only a glimmer of golden light left. The Aerymian elves simulated the alternation of day and night through the movement of the floating island itself, and the filtering effect of the island's protective shield to simulate the normal atmospheric filtering. But even so, it was obvious that the world under the dome was very different from the surface of a normal planet. The sky lacked depth, the night came too quickly, the sunset was too dazzling, and the people living on the edge of the floating island would probably feel an obvious distortion in the sky. When he saw the sunset under the dome, Hao Ren suddenly understood a sentence that Hilda said on Earth:
"I really envy you, you have such a vast sky and land..."
At this moment, there was a sudden flash of light on the "horizon", which was the direction where the sun had just set.
The flash was fleeting, and Hao Ren almost thought it was an illusion. But not long after, he saw some kind of commotion in the city below. Some bright pillars of light appeared on the edge of the city, and some aircraft flew from the edge of the floating island towards the Royal District. There were also many people coming out of their homes on the streets on the surface. They seemed to have received some news from afar and were running out in panic to see what was going on. Hao Ren used his enhanced eyes to take in every detail of the city. He found that there were many people gathered on the top of various towers in the city, looking in the same direction: the end of the horizon, where the flash had just appeared.
"Something seems to have happened out there." Lily was stuffing a handful of dog food into her mouth when her ears suddenly perked up. She scurried to Hao Ren's side. "There's a commotion."
"There was a flash just now, maybe something exploded," Hao Ren said quickly, and then ran to the other end of the hall to call down the lift. There were two Royal Guards on standby in the large lift. As soon as Hao Ren saw the two young elven warriors, he noticed that there was a faint strange look on their faces. "What happened out there?"
"Please rest assured, the guards will handle it, the city is under control," one of the elven warriors said calmly. Although there was some uneasiness in the depths of his eyes, he still maintained the qualities of a Royal Guard. "Her Majesty has rushed back from the Council of Elders, and the reception of our guests will not be delayed..."
Hao Ren waved his hand to signal the few restless people behind him who were ready, and then almost forced his way into the lift. "We are not guests here for dinner. Lead us to the exit, and tell us what happened."
"But Her Majesty has ordered..."
"When she gave the order, there must have been no explosion outside!" Hao Ren pressed a button next to the lift door. "Now I have the final say, your Queen will definitely agree to this. By the way, why is the door not closed?"
"... That is the button to open the door..."
Hao Ren was a little embarrassed. "Why is the direction of your arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the earthlings' habits?"
The elven warriors saw that the guests were determined, and remembered the special attitude of Her Majesty towards them, so they had no choice but to compromise. But they still asked their superiors through some kind of communication device, and after getting an affirmative answer, one of the elven warriors operated the lift to the exit at the bottom of the minaret. "One of the propulsion units exploded, and the island's walls are damaged. But it has been blocked... for now. "
Hao Ren suddenly felt his head buzzing. He did not have much scientific knowledge, but at least he knew what was outside the floating island. It was a thin-skinned spaceship, and outside the barrier was the vast expanse of space... and there was a hole in the city!
He was only worried that the elevator could not descend any faster. He complained that the elves liked to live in such high places (he did not know that it was a habit left behind by the elves who lived in the trees in ancient times). Half a minute of waiting for the elevator to arrive at the bottom felt like a century. As soon as they reached the exit, they ran out, and one of the elven warriors chased after them. "Please wait for a moment, I will prepare a magic hovercraft for you..."
"That thing is not as fast as us!"
Hao Ren said, and turned around to grab Vivian's arm. "Take me with you!"
The vampire maiden's bat wings were already spread, and she had been waiting for Hao Ren to say that. She picked him up from behind and flew into the sky. Lily, on the other hand, lay down on the ground and unleashed her wildness as she dashed out on all fours. Y'zaks, as usual, was like a ferocious humanoid tank, following behind them with big strides. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from the sight of the two elven warriors and a few guards.
"... The guests that Her Majesty the Queen brought back are really not ordinary."
"Yeah, but will the one flying in the sky collide with the hovercraft?"
"... Even if we catch up now, we probably won't be able to... Err, it seems like we won't be able to catch up."
