Act X. Night
Mallos blushed, he had been smooth sailing all these years, he had never experienced such accusations, and the most important thing was that what the other party said was reasonable, and he had no way to refute it.
Along with Liliana's comments, the people around her also began to whisper.
She had a point, and she seemed to be a good eater. ”
"I didn't expect Marlos's exquisite knife work to be superfluous, it seems that he was too proud, so he missed. ”
"Anyway, I'd like to try these dishes. ”
"That last soup seems to be available here too, so I'll try it later. ”
"This trip was originally intended to hit the restaurant, but now it seems that it is unknown who was hit. ”
"It seems that Marlos is nothing more than that, it is estimated that the restaurant is playing the gimmick of a genius young chef, and I don't know how many people are really talented. ”
The crowd is always easy to be guided, and the onlookers who were touting Marlos a moment ago quickly turned against him and began to count Marlos's shortcomings, which were all listened to by Marlos.
He began to regret letting Liliana comment publicly, and even began to regret why he didn't listen to Houston at the time and just left.
Houston didn't expect that the other party would really say something that they couldn't refute, and at the same time, the boss of the Tongue of God also began to think about who the person in front of him was.
"Who the hell are you?"
He asked, and now that Houston only wanted to know Liliana's identity, as for Marlos, he didn't care anymore.
This is Liliana Christopher, a special food commentator for the Daily Mage, and one of the members of the High Council of the Rainbow Tower. ”
Ed said at this time, causing Houston's body to freeze immediately.
When Marlos heard Ed's words, he looked at Liliana, and his mouth was so wide that he didn't close it for a long time.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency??"
Of course, Houston has heard of Liliana's name, and they are in the catering industry, so they naturally need to know the information of the powerful people in the Rainbow Tower, but Liliana has not appeared in the Rainbow Tower for too long, and there is very little relevant information, so Houston did not recognize the identity of the other party.
If he had known that this was Liliana, Houston would have dared to do such superfluous things if he didn't kneel down and salute immediately.
"It's okay, I haven't been here for a long time, it's normal that you don't recognize me. ”
Liliana was accustomed to the change in their attitudes, and for mages, time was indeed a matter that could be easily ignored, and what she saw and heard during that time became less concerned over time.
"Speaking of which, next time I want to go to your restaurant, what's it called?"
"God, tongue of God, Your Excellency. ”
Houston trembled and said that even if he had the support of another senior congressman behind him, Houston did not have the courage to confront another high-ranking congressman.
"Well, there's a chance I'm going to go to your place and try it, and I hope it won't disappoint me then. ”
Liliana smiled, but it was a smile that sent chills down their spines to Houston and Marlos.
Houston and the others did not stay long, and fled in disgrace, and the crowd of people who were watching the excitement outside also poured into the restaurant after they left.
"Everyone, it's free tonight, everyone let go of eating. ”
Today, Toriliana's blessing not only did not let Houston's plan succeed, but also humiliated the other party fiercely, Ed was overjoyed, waved his hand, and said quite satisfied.
......
Night.
The wind swept up the clouds, swept over a corner of the floating continent, and the whole city was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dream.
In the sky, the Crimson Moon Cecilia had long since replaced the Silver Moon as the largest moon in the sky, and its glow shrouded the earth in a faint layer of crimson, which looked quite charming.
It is now the end of the Hidden Moon, and legend has it that at the beginning of the new year, the gods would go to the temple of the goddess for a banquet that lasted for a whole month, hence the name.
Next came the Raven Moon, where the gods returned and announced the news to the earth through the crows, reviving all things and receiving the blessings of the gods, and now it is also the time when farmers begin to sow seeds on the snow-melted land.
Fina woke up to find that the corners of her eyes were moist.
She climbed out of the soft bed, put on her slippers, and went to the window.
The windows weren't closed, and there was supposed to be a cold breeze pouring into them, but the entire island of the Rainbow Tower was blessed with magical prohibitions, and the temperature was adjusted to a comfortable level, so the night breeze blew on Fina's cheeks, only making her feel a little cool, and she pulled the coat she was wearing outside.
Looking down through the window, you can see the brightly lit city looming in a thin and hazy mist, a city without night, where mages study all night, taverns and restaurants await those who want to come out and relax, even in some moonlit alleys, where unspeakable forces are stirring.
This is Liliana's mage tower, next to her mentor's mage tower, it is a small tower, but the space inside is incredibly large, and the room where Fina is located is a room on the upper level with a view of the city, which is also what Fina requested.
"It's completely different from Atlantia. ”
Fina's memories of Atlantia were always quiet and serene in the middle of the night, with the waves rippling in the distance, the soothing sound of the waves, the occasional boat, the oars swaying in the water, the sound of the sound coming into the room through the open window, blending with the voice of her father telling about her past adventures, as if some kind of ancient note led Fina into the legendary world.
Ever since arriving in the city of the Rainbow Tower, Fina has always felt a feeling of incompatibility brewing in her chest, which she has never experienced, even before, when she followed her uncle out of Atlantia because of her father's unconsciousness.
But when she took off the sign of Noelle's Curiosity Store and entrusted the place of her memories to the buyer, the emotion grew like a thorn in the wild, and it grew wildly in Fina's heart.
The melancholy was like bubbling water, echoing in Fina's heart on this lonely night, and it was only after a long time that Fina suddenly realized that the reason why she felt this way was because she knew that she had no place to go back to, enough to be called "home".
And this lingering and unspeakable feeling in the chest is called homesickness.
