Chapter 345: Bliss and the Restaurant
From the outside, this "witch's hut" is not huge, but when you actually walk inside, you will find that the inside is much larger than the outside.
Clean wooden floors, simple yet warm patterns carved into the white walls and ceiling, and beautiful lighting hanging from the ceiling, illuminate the entire restaurant as if it were daytime. Although the tables and chairs seem ordinary, they have a simple beauty. Everything in the restaurant looks ordinary, but it's actually very luxurious.
And the customers in the restaurant are also diverse. There are aristocratic maidens dressed elegantly and gorgeously, adventurers in tattered leather armor, leopard men topless with scimitars hanging from their waists, and so on. All sorts of people, sitting in the restaurant, looked almost like a national exhibition.
Green looked around, and according to the information from the perception feedback, these people were real.
"Guest, please be seated." The elven hostess motioned for Green to find a seat and sit down.
Green hesitated for a moment and walked to the bar.
Inside the bar, a sexy beauty in red is concocting a fine wine. In front of the bar, a gray-haired old mage was sitting, sipping a cold white drink that exuded chill.
"Hello, old man." Green took the initiative to greet him, "I'm Green"
The old mage raised his head and looked at Green with a smile: "Hehe~ Hello, young man." ”
"Sir, can you tell me where this is?" Green asked with a serious face.
"This is Elysium, you can think of this as another world." The old mage touched his chin with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, just treat this as a special restaurant." ”
"Oh?" Green raised an eyebrow, "You don't seem to be here for the first time?" ”
"Since the Sea of Chaos fell silent a few years ago, there have been many things on the Main Plane that hadn't been seen before, and this restaurant is one of them. Every month on a magical night, the doors of this restaurant appear somewhere on the main plane. The old mage smiled, "Unfortunately, there is a door to this restaurant in my garden, so I come almost every month." ”
"I see." Green glanced around and thought for a moment, "The location where the gate opens doesn't seem random. Are there any patterns and characteristics of where the gate appears? "Green found that among these people who eat, there are no demons! Obviously, the location of this restaurant door is not random, but there is a certain pattern - it is very likely that there is no door to this restaurant in the northern Mona Kingdom.
"Hmm...... I haven't looked into this. The old mage looked back at the people in the restaurant and thought for a moment, "However, given the nature of the restaurant, the doors of the restaurant should only appear in some areas with a high concentration of mana. ”
"The area with the highest concentration of mana must be Hokuriku, right? The magic tides that fill the continent basically come from that side. ”
"The North Continent is too close to the Sea of Chaos, and the projection of the outer plane will definitely not be able to project over there." The old mage said categorically, "The number of humans in the restaurant is far greater than that of other races, which also proves that the number of guests in the Central Continent is far greater than the number of guests in other regions. ”
The old mage's words made Green interested: "Master, do you know a lot about the North Continent and the Sea of Chaos?" ”
"Know." The old mage didn't seem to have much interest in the subject.
"What do you think of the situation in Hokuriku?" Green was very interested in the topic of Hokuriku, and sat directly next to the old mage and talked to the old mage, "Will the Kingdom of Palomia and the Eastern United Kingdom declare war on the Kingdom of Mona?" ”
Green looked at the old mage with great interest, wanting to see if this seemingly powerful old mage had any high opinions.
The old mage didn't speak, but the elven waitress on the side interjected weakly at this time, "That...... Guest, would you like something? ”
Green glanced at the old mage who didn't seem to be about to speak, and turned his head to look at the female elf on the side: "...... Do you have any recommendations for the dishes here? ”
"Here's our menu here." The elf hostess finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over the menu.
Green flipped through the menu.
The text on the restaurant's menu is in ancient Elven and dragon languages. As a kind of magical writing, the dragon language itself has a magical power, so that even people who can't understand it can understand the meaning of the text with "intuition". However, although the dragon script can cross the language barrier, people can vaguely understand the meaning of the text. However, if you are an ordinary person, when you see this kind of magical writing, you may be injured due to "internal magic disorder".
The people who can enter this restaurant seem to be transcendent. Green glanced around the restaurant and turned his attention to the menu.
"Three guests, please take a seat too." The elven waitress said to Chikage and the two shadow guards.
Green glanced back at the three of them and nodded, "Let's all find a place to sit." ”
Two shadow guards sat on either side of a table near the bar, and Thousand Shadows sat next to Green.
Green turned his attention to the menu again.
In addition to the text description, there are pictures on the menu.
The strength of the dragon script is also limited. If you haven't learned the dragon language or your perceptual attributes are not enough, you may not be able to "accurately" understand the meaning of the dragon language, but with the pictures on the menu, as long as you are not too stupid, you can understand at a glance what kind of dish it is from the pictures.
"Why don't you have a price on your menu here?" Green pointed to the menu and looked at the elven hostess on the side.
"You paid before you came in." The hostess smiled.
"Paid? When? Green looked dazed.
"The magic is money. You've paid enough mana to the restaurant for your meal before you come in. ”
Green blinked, remembering the magical attacks he had tentatively unleashed on the dining room before he opened the door. Come to think of it, all of those magic attacks were absorbed by the hut as "currency".
"I see." Green blinked, "You guys are in the cafeteria here?" ”
"Cafeteria?" The elven hostess had a puzzled look on her face, "I don't quite understand what you mean by that word. ”
"It's a restaurant where you can eat after giving money. Eat as much as you can. ”
"Ah~ I see. It's pretty much the same as you said, but you can only order at most one at a time, and if you haven't eaten enough after eating, you can continue to order, but if you haven't finished eating, you can't continue to order. ”
it! It's really a cafeteria! It's the first time I've seen a cafeteria in this world since I crossed over!
"If there is a dragon, won't you be eaten and bankrupt?" Green was curious about it. After all, this is not the Earth, and there are a lot of people who have a super-sized amount of food - such as the Demon King or something.
"You have to change into a form smaller than the door before you can come in. And the larger the creature, the more mana it needs to come in. Also, the meal time is up to two hours, so the situation you are talking about does not exist. ”
A two-hour buffet?
Green blinked, momentarily no longer hesitating.
"How long will it take to serve this?" Green pointed to the oversized Paradise Pork Chop set in the picture.

Paradise Pork Chop Set: Pork cutlet made with Paradise pork from Bright Heaven as the main ingredient and mixed with spices from Elysium; This is a set meal made with vegetables and rice from the wild wild. It can restore mana, replenish stamina and vitality.

"All the dishes can be served in a maximum of ten minutes."
"Well, that's it."
"Okay, please wait." The elven hostess put away the menu.
"Hurry up~" Green looked at the waitress with glowing eyes.
"Okay, please wait." The elf hostess smiled and left and walked into the kitchen at the back of the restaurant.
"Buffet, eat more." Green had a happy look on his face. Green, if I'm not mistaken, the food in this restaurant seems to be all magic cuisine! The sparkling food is so easy to tell.
The elf hostess informed the kitchen to go. And Green stole a glance in the direction of the kitchen.
The walls completely cut off the senses, so Green couldn't see what's going on in the kitchen at all, and couldn't hear what the people were saying.
After a while, the waitress walked back and looked at Qianying beside Green, "A few guests, have you ordered a good meal?" ”
"I want this."
"This."
The two shadow guards each ordered a set meal.
"Okay, please wait." The elf hostess smiled and put away the menu, then looked at Chikage, "This guest, have you chosen?" ”
"I don't need to." Chikage coldly pushed the menu away.
Hearing Qianying's words, the elf hostess blinked: "Guest, please don't worry. The food in this restaurant is made entirely from ingredients from the outer planes, and can be eaten even by ghosts and heroes. ”
"Oh?" Green looked at the elven hostess in surprise, "You're still the first person to see through the true body of my maid." ”
"After all, we're on an outer plane." The elven hostess smiled, "If we want to enter the main plane without being ostracized, we can basically only do it in the form of heroic spirits. ”
"Ho ho ~ little girl, it's rare to come here, it's a pity not to try the food here." The old mage on the side couldn't help but speak, "The food here is absolutely uneaten in the main plane!" ”
"I don't need anything." Chikage handed the menu to the elf hostess.
"That's right...... So do you need me to get you a glass of water? ”
Chikage: "No. ”
Faced with Qianying's stubbornness, the elf hostess could only retreat helplessly: "Okay. ”
"It's rare to come here, don't you really try?" Green couldn't help but ask.
"It's enough for me to have master energy." Chikage glanced at everyone in the cafeteria, "As a guard, I want to be at my best at all times. ”
"Hmm...... All right. Green shrugged, "You have a point. ”
