The clouds covered the sky, oppressive and dreary, and the water of the Thames flowed softly and silently.

Pedestrians on the streets were hurrying, and in the dark, which seemed to indicate a sign of rain, people without umbrellas walked a few minutes faster than usual, eager to fly to their homes or shelter from the rain in no time.

Cloudy days can spread feelings of loneliness and loss, happiness can be suppressed, and pain can be magnified and deepened. However, Zi's good mood has not diminished because of this.

Defeat at the hands of Kenneth, not only did not hurt, but also made the excuse of those nobles to stir up trouble invalid, under the protection of the teacher, it was impossible to deal with him openly, and Anne also gave so much living expenses, finally can find a good place to treat the stomach that has been tormented by salad, it is really almost tearful,

It's hailing now, and it can't affect Purple's good mood.

Speaking of which, after the end of the duel, Purple didn't mean to provoke, and originally wanted to congratulate Kenneth very sincerely, but seeing Kenneth's distorted expression, he knew that the past was also worse, so he didn't want to stimulate Kenneth's excessive Purple, so he had to leave without saying anything.

As for whether the director wants to retaliate, then the soldiers will cover up the water and earth, anyway, the director who has lost his excuse, if he starts the war lightly, it is his side that has the advantage of reason.

"France, Germany, Italy...... Well, it's Italy. After considering the taste, Purple chose an Italian restaurant.

French pies and grilled liver, as well as German grilled sausages and peppercakes are not suitable for Purple, but Italian steaks and seafood noodles are good, and there are different flavors of ice cream after the meal.

"It's a nice environment." After entering the selected hotel, Purple looked at the paintings hanging on the wall and admired.

The aroma of food wafts through the restaurant, red wine and dinner plates are stacked near the counter, and green plants are placed in the corners, and the decoration and decoration room reveal a romantic and literary atmosphere.

Italy is the birthplace of the European Renaissance, and the changes have influenced the course of the whole of Europe and the world, and this cultural influence has been continued, even the place of dining, which is indeed worthy of praise.

Purple found a remote corner and sat down, and the waiter immediately greeted the new guests with the menu.

After looking at the menu, Purple ordered a steak and a seafood noodle, but after he finished ordering, the waiter did not accept it immediately, but came to persuade Purple.

"This guest, it's enough to order a steak, you can't eat seafood noodles."

"Ah, why?" Purple was surprised.

"When you're done with the steak, there's no appetite to greet the seafood noodles." The waiter explained kindly.

It turned out that the steak was too large, and purple said that he understood.

"So, how mature do the steak guests have to be?" The waiter continued to inquire about the tastes of the guests.

"Probably...... Seventy percent. Purple replied with inherent common sense, seventy percent should be not ripe but the best taste.

The waiter shook his head slightly, assuming that it was the first time the guest had visited.

"Please allow me to refuse your request, our steak should preferably be medium-rare, and more than three points is a waste of material."

"Three, three?" Isn't that basically uncooked, the whole thing is basically blood, and he's not a barbarian who drinks blood.

Purple stared at the waiter suspiciously.

The waiter smiled professionally and answered the customer's questions: "Please trust us, a steak that is more than medium-rare will make the chef so angry that he takes out a kitchen knife and wields it." ”

"Is it so strict?" Purple's suspicion diminished slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she trusted the waiter.

Out of the corner of his eye, he observed the other guests, and they were all very happy to eat, and this restaurant seemed to have a lot of aura, so there was no need to deceive the guests in such a thing that was easy to be exposed.

"Please wait here for a while, we will be ready for dinner soon."

After the matter of ordering food was dealt with, Zi went to take a cup of hot coffee and drank it slowly. Although the waiter warmly recommended the best red wine, Purple didn't like to drink, so she politely declined.

In the free time before the meal, Purple began to look at the paintings on the walls, although most of the characters and landscapes, as well as the words on the paintings, Purple couldn't recognize them at all, but it was a kind of spice.

If you think about it carefully, compared to her sister Orange, Purple barely learned English, a foreign language. Although it is not very difficult for a magician to master a variety of foreign languages, Purple is mostly focused on magic, so she has neglected this area, and it is time to take some time to broaden her knowledge in this area.

However, before Murasaki finished half of the painting, the steak was served, as well as the grilled vegetables and fragrant fruits that were eaten before the meal.

With the mentality of trying, Purple ate the roasted cucumber and potato chips first, and the taste can only be said to be reluctant, but the appetite was aroused by the seasoning.

Then Zi looked at the steak.

The steak was stacked on top of each other in a large white porcelain bowl, and several pieces of beef about 20 centimeters long were roasted brown on the surface, and the inside was bright purple and red, like raw and cold flesh, which was a little terrifying.

Zi picked up the knife and rubbed it for a while, before the knife went down, and immediately blood overflowed.

Purple was taken aback.

"No, have you been deceived......

Purple stopped in the air, muttered quietly, and looked up at the other tables.

The foreigners at the other tables were all eating happily, and they didn't notice the sight of Purple in the corner, and Purple hesitated for a long time, but still picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"It's so tender, it tastes so good." After chewing a few bites, Purple's perception immediately reversed.

Different from the appearance, the beef is soft and juicy, the entrance is smooth and not greasy, the heat is just right, and a little more heat, the meat quality on the outside may taste worse, and it is mixed with the taste of the sauce, and the steak tastes extraordinarily delicious.

Purple hurriedly began to cut the steak with a knife, and swept the food in a whirlwind.

“…… Well, sure enough, Italian steaks are good. ”

Ten minutes later, after eating the whole steak, Purple took a sip of coffee to my heart's content, this was the first good meal after coming to London, it was really touching.

It's just that the portion of steak is really large, and after just taking a sip of coffee that is equivalent to the function of gargling, I can't drink anymore.

Purple stretched out, called the waiter to settle the bill, and walked out of the restaurant.

The cool breeze on the street was comfortable and made Purple's cheeks warm because of the food and atmosphere.

"Hmm...... The battle with the director still needs to be summed up, and there is also the mastery of the technique of strengthening magic, but there are no other urgent tasks, so it's good to go back for a walk. ”

Purple yawned unconsciously, patted her lips, and melted into the crowd.

A few seconds after the purple disappeared, a middle-aged black man appeared at the door of this Italian restaurant.

Pedestrians passed by him, but they were unaware of him.

The man seemed to be feeling something in the air, staring at the layout of the hotel for a long time before making a slightly confused sound.

"Is it a contradiction? What is the reason why you can follow common sense and act on the edge of the limit when you have reached the limit? ”

The man's tone was like asking, but he didn't expect anyone to answer.

The sound drifted through the air, but no one heard it, and before it dispersed, there was only a blank space left where the black man stood.
