Lesson 18 Prologue

A wide variety of small snacks and pastries fall asleep peacefully on the shelves, and since the departure of Grandma Sarah, the whole shop has always seemed a little dull.

Behind the counter, Alice rests her head on her left hand, looking at the beautiful crystal set in the bracelet on her right wrist.

The dark purple crystal was bought by Grandma Sarah from somewhere, and she specially asked the famous jewelry maker on Rose Street, Mr. Miller, to make a zuò for Alice.

Alice has been carrying this bracelet since she was adopted. It contains Alice's best memories, and whenever there is no one else, Alice will always stare at it in a daze.

"Jingle bell!"

The bell behind the door of the store always alerts Alice when the customer opens the door and comes in.

"Hello guest! Do you have any needs? ”

Alice woke up in an instant, got up and bowed to the visitor, and greeted him in a sweet voice.

"You're welcome!" The guests who came in chuckled and waved their hands.

Alice, who got up, looked at the guests and found that it was a rare young man with black hair and black eyes, he was wearing a black slim dress, his hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, although he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses as a cover, but the careful Alice still found that he had a faint dark circle under his eyes.

Alice waited for a while before she realized that something was wrong, and the young man had been smiling at her since she entered the door, and she had not spoken.

Alice hurriedly examined herself, and after seeing that she was not dressed normally, she cautiously asked, "Guest, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Green smiled and shook his head.

"So, do you have any dessert or candy that you want?" Feel free to take a look first, and if there is nothing on the shelves that you are satisfied with, you can also make it fresh! ”

"The candy is delicious compared to that, but that's not what I'm here for." Green smiled and shook his head again.

"That ......"

"I took the liberty of being here because there's a candy princess!"

Green interrupted Alice's words, and suddenly a bouquet of red roses appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he gracefully held it in both hands and handed it to Alice.

"In my eyes, the most shining and attractive thing in this candy house is Miss Alice!"

"So......" Alice tilted her head, "so you're here?" ”

"Of course, to be able to invite Miss Alice and the Buncho to dinner together," Green's etiquette was perfect, with a sparkling background, "I wonder if I have such a glory?" ”

"Oh, that's ......" Alice smiled, looking very innocent,

"No!" Green shook his finger at Alice, "Miss Alice, this shop is closed!" ”

"Huh?"

"Because ah......"

Green smiled and straightened up the rose that Alice hadn't taken, only to see a golden branch suddenly burst out of the bouquet of red roses, on which a stamen was born, and then a golden rose bloomed, so conspicuous in the bouquet.

Green pulled out the alchemically forged golden rose, withdrew the bouquet, and gracefully handed it to Alice:

"I bought all the goods of this candy house today, if there is nothing else, presumably this candy house is going to be proofed now, I wonder if Miss Alice, who has rested, can give her the next chance?"

"Uh......" Alice took the golden rose handed over by Green with a complicated expression, and checked it, "But ......"

"Do you have any more questions?" Green looked at Alice with a smile that you can't escape from the palm of my hand.

"But......" Alice hesitated before whispering, "but I weighed the golden rose you gave me, and it was worth about twenty gold coins, which was not enough to buy all the goods in the shop......

Green was so embarrassed that he was petrified in an instant......

……

Anyway, under Green's stubborn fighting, Green still made an appointment with Alice.

After closing the store, Alice changed her clothes again before going out, and Alice, who took off her clerk's clothes and changed into a dress, looked even more beautiful and moving, especially a pair of mountain peaks were about to come out, which made Green secretly give a thumbs up in her heart.

Awesome!

After admiring the beautiful Alice again, Green got into the carriage that Green had rented in advance, and went to the most luxurious restaurant in the city of Liro, the Mandeas Ace.

Legend has it that the chef of this restaurant once served as the king's chef in the royal capital, and when he returned to his hometown in old age, he opened the restaurant with the patronage of a nobleman, and after decades of development, it has become the number one restaurant in the city of Lilo.

As soon as the Mendeas restaurant opened, it took the high-end route, not a nobleman or a person of insufficient status to enter at all, but the doorman who stopped Green immediately led the two to one of the best seats after Green casually summoned a small fireball.

Sitting down leisurely, Green handed the menu brought by the waiter to Alice: "Ladies first." ”

"Huh!" Alice smiled and said to Green, who had refused the waiter's menu, "Then I'm welcome." ”

As she spoke, Alice whispered to the waiter on the side that she liked the dish, handed it back to the waiter, and then looked at Green, "Everyone has different preferences for food, and Mr. Green and I must be no exception. ”

"I think so too," Green didn't care about Alice's tricks, very

"As you wish, wise mage." The waiter nodded respectfully, and then asked, "So, Mr. Venerable Mage, what drink do you need?" ”

"Any recommendations?"

"The Borodia winery has just recently come out of the cellar with a wine, and our restaurant was fortunate enough to get a few 'Dawn Dew', I don't know ......"

"That's it."

"Okay."

With that, the waiter bowed and withdrew. After a while, the waiter returned with a bucket of ice, uncorked the bottle in front of Grimm and Alice, poured the amber liquor, and stepped aside.

Alice picked up the glass, asked about the faint aroma, and said with a wink, "Mr. Green, you are so cunning. ”

"You mean the order?" Green shrugged, "It's not a matter of cunning or not, it's just a matter of foodie experience." ”

If Alice lived in an era where transportation was convenient and she could easily travel thousands of kilometers, and she liked to travel, she would probably find it best to ask the locals about food.

As for the "locals" here? Isn't that what a waiter is?

"Foodie?" Alice froze for the word that suddenly appeared in Green, and then quickly reacted, covering her small mouth and laughing, "Mr. Green, your word is really appropriate. ”

"Huh?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I guess I'm a foodie too." Alice blinked.

"If I'm not wrong about my understanding, then Miss Alice really makes me feel unexpectedly cute." Green's chin cupped and looked at Alice and commented.

"Huh?!"

Alice really didn't understand that Green was another strange entry that suddenly appeared.

"Don't worry about these ......," Green waved his hand and looked out the window to forcibly change the subject, "The waiter just said that the view here is the best in the whole restaurant, but I don't think so." ”

Alice looked out the window in confusion, and since the restaurant was located on the top floor of a tall building, it had a very open view of the city of Liero at dusk and night, with its slowly walking pedestrians, intersecting streets, and houses with the sun's rays of a beautiful landscape.

It's obviously a very warm feeling.

Alice thought so.

"I don't like those mage towers, they seem too abrupt there, and they also block the view." Green pointed to the mage towers in the middle of the city, "It's ugly. ”

"Huh?" Alice tilted her head, "But, isn't the Mandeas Restaurant attracting a large number of guests because it can enjoy all six mage towers?" ”

"Hey, yes, that's a big selling point......"

Green shrugged and didn't continue to speak, because the waiter had already brought the soup, which was of course the biggest meal in the world for Green.

Alice gave Green a puzzled look, then picked up the spoon and took a small bite.

When the two finished eating, it was already completely dark, Green slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, looked a little stunned in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Alice, on the other hand, was a little nervous, and she secretly pinched the badge that Anna had given her, thinking that if Green showed the badge if she asked too much, Green would not be too difficult for her.

But on second thought, Green was a magician and didn't know if the name of the Irish Borg family would work.

Alice was a little apprehensive, so she didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while.

"Boom!"

Just as Alice was thinking about how to get out later, there was a loud noise downstairs, and Alice looked out the window and found a dancing flame.

Green, who was on the side, saw this scene, his eyes lit up slightly.

……

In the corner of the Mandeas restaurant, a thin old man was completely unaffected, he cut a small piece of steak that was only medium-rare with a dining knife, held it up in front of his eyes, and said:

"Oh roar, it looks like the dinner party has begun......"

With that, Modesa shoved the bloody steak into her mouth.
