Chapter 52: Eating

I don't know how long it took, Li Jinyi felt a feeling of hunger in his stomach, and when he looked up at the window, it was already red.

He put away the runes that had been dissected layer by layer and prepared to go out into the streets to taste the city's cuisine.

Coincidentally, he met Zhong Ziran who had just returned from outside in the corridor.

"Sister Ziran is good. Li Jinyi greeted.

"Yo, junior brother, are you going out to eat? Wait, senior sister, I'll go back and change my clothes, and accompany Vicky and them to train all afternoon, and I'm tired and sweating. Without waiting for Li Jinyi to answer, she walked towards the room.

After a while, Zhong Ziran came out with a bag and a white, blue and purple mixed dress, and her snow-white thighs loomed under the skirt as thin as light gauze.

The two entered the elevator, and the senior sister stroked her hair and said:

"Xiao Li, I'm sorry at noon today, when I suddenly remembered that I forgot to issue an invoice after buying a glider, and I wanted to tell you and found that you were on the phone, so I went alone, and when I came back, you were gone. ”

This is the reason why you didn't say goodbye? Li Jinyi finally solved the puzzle of the inexplicable disappearance of the senior sister.

"It's okay, senior sister doesn't have to care, but I should have waited for senior sister for a while. He chuckled.

"Oh?" Zhong Ziran leaned towards him, his chest almost rubbing against his arm.

"You know a lot. Zhong Ziran smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, hey. Li Jinyi scratched his head, revealing his trademark smirk.

With a "ding", the elevator door opened.

Walking out of the hotel, the senior sister pointed to the direction of the sun setting and said, "Let's go to the restaurant called 'Star Palace' to eat, it's the best restaurant here, I'm in for a treat!"

I'm a little uncontrollable in my machismo! I have to invite you this time!" Li Jinyi sneered.

"Senior sister, let me please it, just as a thank you for all the help you have given me today. He laughs.

Zhong Ziran made a very hesitant, tangled, and helpless look, sighed and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I have to accept it gladly." ”

With that, she had an unconcealable smile on her face, a smile that had succeeded in her tricks.

Li Jinyi noticed this subtle change in expression, and was immediately shocked and realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Senior sister, it's still your routine that is deep! You have decided that I will fight with you over who will pay the bill, so I took the initiative to ask you to pay the bill! This can show your generosity as a senior, and second, you can determine who will pay the bill as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy it without scruples for a while, and it is not your money that is spent anyway! Wonderful and wonderful, the junior brother has really benefited a lot! Li Jinyi felt a little helpless and slandered a few words.

When he came to the Star Palace, he found that this hotel was different from what he had seen before, there were no extra floors here, and from the first floor, he could see a dome nearly 100 meters high, and a large number of frisbees with a diameter of about 10 meters were floating in the air.

A waiter approached and led the two to the screen to choose a location, and a burst of magical energy wrapped the two of them up and teleported them directly to a frisbee in mid-air.

The upper surface of the frisbee is very flat, and there is an invisible energy fence around it to prevent people from accidentally falling down. In the center of the frisbee, there is a set of streamlined tables and chairs without edges, and a red and gold carpet is laid underneath.

As soon as Lai Jinyi sat down in the surprisingly soft chair, the light and shadow in front of him flowed, revealing the image of a menu.

There were many names of dishes on the menu and their corresponding prices, but to Lai's surprise, none of them he could understand from beginning to end.

"Sister, I've never seen these English words, they feel like they've been transliterated, like Memeo de Para, Monegizok, what are these things?" he was confused.

Zhong Ziran sat across the table and explained with a smile: "This restaurant was built by some aliens who just fled to Earth last month, and the menu is full of dishes from their planet. ”

"I see. Li Jinyi nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered three or four dishes that looked more pleasing to the eye.

On the other hand, on the senior sister's side, he thought that the other party would choose more than a dozen of the most expensive dishes like a lion, but he didn't expect that she would only choose two or three of the cheapest.

Senior sister is not as bad as I imagined, but I still think about the wallets of my juniors, Li Jinyi applauded her from the bottom of my heart.

After finishing the order, Zhong Ziran said to Li Jinyi while eating some alien fruit similar to a purple banana prepared in advance on the table:

"Junior brother, do you know?, Star Alliance has recently relocated all the alien plant and plant breeding bases scattered around the world to the floating island of 'Star Park' in the southern Indian Ocean, and these ingredients are transported from there. ”

Well, this is very useful news, the "Gate of All Souls" is an alien ancient book, and the summoning ceremony after that will definitely use materials that are not available on Earth, but there may be one in the Star Park, Li Jinyi thought to himself.

"Senior sister is really well-informed. He praised.

"That's it. Zhong Ziran raised his head proudly.

In a few moments, the waiter carried a plate of dishes to the frisbee where the two were located, and one by one they were presented to the table, with dark gray slices of meat drizzled with scarlet sauce, golden crispy ladybug-like fried, and large, watery eyes.

How is this darker than the food of those alien restaurants on the island of Cloud Peak? Li Jinyi muttered to himself.

Zhong Ziran's reaction on the other side of the table was completely different, and before the dishes were ready, she held chopsticks in her left hand and a fork in her right hand, and tasted it excitedly.

Senior sister, you have a really big heart, and you can eat such a distorted and depraved dish with such a distorted appearance. Li Jinyi sat in his position and didn't dare to move his chopsticks for a long time.

"Look at what I'm doing, eat vegetables, don't look good, it tastes really good, look at this eyeball. Zhong Ziran said and picked up a bloodshot eyeball and put it in his mouth, and then bit hard, and the white slurry burst out instantly, splashing a little on the table.

"Crunch!" she added, chewing.

Seeing this scene, Li Jinyi lost his appetite more and more.

After that, the two stayed in the hotel until the evening, during which Zhong Ziran also wanted to order a bottle of interstellar spirits, but was dissuaded by Li Jinyi on the grounds that he was on a mission tomorrow and should not drink.

Strolling back to the Night Sky Boat Hotel, the two exchanged goodnight and returned to their respective rooms, Li Jinyi quickly locked the door, lay down on the bed, and prepared to enter the land of dreams.

............

Returning to the familiar golden garden, Lai Jinyi looked around, and after confirming that there was no trace of a poisonous jawworm, he immediately ran to check the camera.

After ten minutes of cursory skimming through the footage, he noticed no signs of anything unusual other than the venomous jawworms that had hovered the garden in the previous hours.

"Maybe it's in the wrong place, I'll take it back to charge it later, and try it on the square in front of the palace another day." He said as he lifted the camera and put it in his pocket.

Leaving the garden, walking across the stone bridge, across the square, entering the palace paved with pale blue fluorescent floor tiles, and arriving at the disc, Li Jinyi directly transferred the picture to Shaldas.

The other party was ruddy and radiant, and seemed to be very happy.

It seems that the negotiation is going well, but I still have to make sure, but I can't take the initiative to ask him about it, that would lower my image of god-like omniscience in their minds, and I have to let him tell it himself, Li Jinyi thought to himself.

"Shardas. "He didn't say much.

The king of the south was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky with a reverent face and said:

"Praise be to you, great prophet, General Lariman is also a believer in you, and I told him all the help you have given me, and when he heard this, he immediately shed tears of worship and decided to serve the Laptug dynasty and the prophet!"

The Prophet Nora told him the name I had taken on a whim? Lai was a little funny, and he had forgotten about it a little.

Sharda paused, and then said impassionedly, "Lord Prophet, if it weren't for your help, this war would not have lasted much longer, and my daughter, my dearest little Nora, might not have returned. I owe it all to you, praise be to you again, great prophet!"

Being praised like this, Li Jinyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he cleared his throat, tried his best to maintain a dignified tone, and said slowly:

"Needless to say, my help is also conditional, I just hope that when the Ulandi continent is reunified, you don't forget our deal. ”

Hearing this, Shaldas put his right hand on his chest, bowed his chin and said, "I will keep my promise, be loyal to you, and become your spear and sword!"

"Very good, I believe that you can handle the next matter properly, and I will come to congratulate you on the day you unify the Ulandi Continent. Li Jinyi said as he deliberately took a few steps back, creating a sense of distancing.

He then zoomed the camera to a secluded place and said to the disc, "Please move the camera to Archmage Thornz." ”

He wanted to make sure sure that Thornz was dead.

There was a ripple in the disc, but after a moment it stopped and the picture did not change.

Eh, could it be that he has developed the magic of countering the disc? Li Jinyi thought about it and felt that this was impossible, so he changed his words.

"Please move the screen to the corpse of Archmage Thornz. ”

This time the order had an effect, and the camera suddenly moved to a rocky hill, not too far from the last time Lai Jinyi saw Thornz being hunted down by the king of the north.

In the midst of the rubble, a half-skeletal corpse dressed in Thornz's clothes was lying there, with both arms missing, a dagger stuck in his chest, and countless tiny flying insects gnawing at the remaining scraps of flesh on his bones.

Seeing the fate of the former court officials, Li Jinyi couldn't help but feel pity, but when he thought that guy had killed thousands of innocent Croes before, this pity quickly turned into happiness.

After confirming that Thornz was dead, Li Jinyi took out the "Gate of All Souls" and walked down the spiral staircase, preparing to learn the summoning technique on the third page while taking a walk to other places to have a look.

After all, he hadn't looked at the other three higher palaces, as well as the space behind the golden auspicious clouds, and maybe he could discover some other secrets, about the land of dreams, about his own secrets.
