Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fortune Teller Bai Lao
As long as you have lived in Fernandi for a little longer, you know that the chicken, duck and fish meat sold in the vegetable market can only be regarded as ordinary ingredients even if it is delicious, and the real delicacy is only those high-grade monster meat that has been specially processed!
This is not because of how good the meat of the monster is, but simply because the flesh of the monster is moistened by magic all year round, and even after the monster dies, it remains in the flesh, and the magic is like an additive that can infinitely amplify the sense of taste, and can make humans with magic feel the infinite delicacy amplified by magic!
So even if many people have never tasted the taste of high-grade monster meat at all, if you want to say that this ordinary chicken can be compared to high-grade monster meat, then few people will really believe it!
But it was Bai Lao who said this!
Bai Lao has been in East Street for decades, although he seems to be disrespectful to the old, but it is childlike, in the hearts of many people on East Street and even Fernandi, he is actually a very respectable old man!
Bai Lao is a soothsayer, but he never divides any love luck or career luck, he only helps people to divinate the good fortune and evil of the labyrinth adventure, and only divination the good fortune and evil within three days, and only divination three people a day!
Because he has another nickname, called "Fierce Old Man"!
Many adventurers will go to his small shop to occupy a hexagram before preparing to attack the deep labyrinth, just to keep them safe for three days!
For decades, Bai Lao's divination results have never been wrong, and the verification rate is as high as 100%!
If it weren't for the fact that he charges too much, divination only three people a day, and does not support advance reservations, I am afraid that every adventurer will visit him before his trip.
Even so, a large number of veteran adventurers came to visit him every day, and even persuaded him at a high price to recruit him into his guild.
And what was built up by that 100% accuracy of divination was his unimaginably high reputation!
Therefore, what he says has its own aura of integrity, and no one will believe it!
As a result, the people who stirred their noses couldn't help but mutter, completely forgetting the topic of the previous standard of regular customers.
"Is the Royal Chicken Burger really that good?"
"Deliciousr than high-grade monster meat? I'm afraid I won't have the chance to taste the taste of high-grade monster meat in my life, so what kind of taste is it? ”
"If it was another tavern, I would have thought it was the tavern owner who invited him, but he was a white old ......"
"Bai Lao never lies, is that Royal Chicken Burger really better than high-grade Warcraft meat?"
"But no matter how delicious it is, we can't eat it! I'm not a regular customer! ”
"By the way, I know a friend who always eats at Flame Girl, if you let him come, maybe you can ......"
People's attention shifted to the royal chicken burger, but no matter how greedy they were, they could only watch Bai Lao enjoy the huge burger alone, and that jealousy arose.
But at this moment, someone inadvertently glanced at the Demon Palace Shudu on the menu board, and became excited: "Isn't this a week's worth of royal chicken burgers?" ”
As soon as he reminded him, many people noticed the Demon Palace Shudu again, and one of them said: "This Demon Palace Shudu is a bit interesting!" Each row, each column, and each nine-square grid of runes had to form a different mantra. In other words, in just eighty-one squares, there are twenty-seven nine-character mantras! ”
But one of the people next to him pointed out in a bitter tone: "Brother, it's like a powerful one, but can you understand this rune?" ”
"This, this ......," the man said bitterly, "this is a magic rune, right?" Although I didn't learn ......"
"Cut!" The crowd was in contempt.
At the dining table near the wall, a beautiful-looking girl suddenly snorted coldly: "Stupid! Sure enough, it's a civilian, and the insight is short. It's not a magic rune at all! ”
The man said angrily, "Then, do you know what kind of rune this is?" ”
"Humph!" The girl said proudly, "This is the question from the boss, won't you ask the boss?" ”
The man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Talking so much nonsense, don't you know?" ”
But the girl shouted confidently: "I don't know, what's the matter? At least Miss Ben didn't pretend to understand! ”
Rowan couldn't help but look this way, he recognized this girl, she was the one who didn't get a burger in line yesterday.
The girl came to line up early in the morning to buy burgers and fries, and then sat there and ate quietly.
Don't look at her bad temper, she is very elegant when she eats, and she doesn't cause trouble like yesterday.
However, the good times didn't last long, and as soon as the girl finished eating the fries, she quarreled with someone after three or two sentences!
Rowan frowned slightly, although the tavern is different from the tea garden and café, it is a place to talk loudly and eat a lot of wine, but if someone quarrels in the tavern, it will definitely affect the guests' meal!
At such a time, he must come forward.
However, he was not ready to settle the dispute directly, but patted the counter, attracting everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Everyone, this magic palace technique is an ancient puzzle alone. I thought it was interesting, so I took it out and shared it with you. As for the runes in the grid, if you don't even know the runes, then how can you solve the problem? ”
It is said to be an ancient puzzle, purely to attract people to solve.
People in this world have a penchant for adventure, and ancient ruins and prehistoric treasures are always the most topical, and puzzles with topical topics can attract more people to solve puzzles.
If you can attract real scholars, they will probably not care about the little reward, but will be obsessed with the puzzle itself!
As for why he didn't tell the fact that he didn't know those runes, of course, it was to prevent someone from fabricating the answer and confusing it!
Rowan spoke formally, drawing the attention of the guests away from the Royal Chicken Burger to the puzzle itself.
Although people in the market don't understand too advanced puzzles, they tend to be more concerned and curious about what they don't understand, and then they will spread it as a small talk after dinner.
"Well, an ancient puzzle? Then the old man will come and take a look. ”
After Bai Lao finished eating the royal chicken burger, he smacked his lips unsatisfied, stood up and walked towards the wall.
When the men who were around the wall saw him coming, they all hurriedly retreated and made way for him.
The soothsayer is very knowledgeable, knows astronomy and geography, which is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and a soothsayer like Bai Lao, who is talented but willing to live in the corner of East Street, even the whole Fernandi can't find a second one!
Bai Lao walked to the wall, looked at the menu board, and glanced at it casually.
"This is the magic palace ......"
It was this glance that made him stunned for an instant, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
The surrounding atmosphere also froze, and even the brutal girl stopped making a sound, all waiting with bated breath for Bai Lao's conclusion.
