088, gifts
According to the agricultural church, the 18th month of the year is the harvest season, so it has been called the harvest month from the 17th month, just like the city of wealth today.
However, as the headquarters of the Goddess of Fortune Church, the richest city in the world, the City of Fortune does not harvest crops, but a new platform built on the magic web, and the attention of the world's major forces.
"Since you arrived at the Colosseum, the Church has been spreading the news that the celebration on the 30th will be the largest event in the entire Golden Empire this year, and there is no doubt that it attracts more attention than the birthday of His Highness Fayol, the god of the Carthalalian order and knights, at the beginning of the month. ”
On the day of Talos' return from the Colosseum, the new Bishop Bill took a seat at Fortune City's most extravagant restaurant, Feast in the Sky, to celebrate his collaborator's promotion to the second rank.
Located by the window, Talos can enjoy a meal while overlooking the night view of most of the City of Fortune from the sky, and get the ultimate dining experience.
"It's not easy to enjoy a meal in the air, and you often need to make a reservation months in advance, but I can actually sit here tonight and still stain your light. ”
At all times, Bill felt that it was the wisest decision of his life to still go to sea for the treasure hunt and to get acquainted and choose Talos as his partner.
The human bishop kept his voice down—despite the muted magical enchantments around each location to ensure guest privacy and that conversations were never overheard by anyone unrelated—mysteriously explained, "Archbishop Gates reserved a spot here in advance, and we're using his spot tonight." ”
"Oh, that's probably my mother's light, I don't have that honor yet. ”
This is not the first time Talos has heard the name Archbishop Gates, the initiator of the Golden Harbor Project, one of the protagonists of the celebration, who proposed to award Sandra the Order of Turin of the first degree.
A few days ago, he invited the Black Sea Lord to participate in the celebration, but Sandra politely refused to leave the Black Sea for ten years.
Talos buried himself in his comfortable seat and shook his head and teased, "After straightening out the logical relationship, this meal is not strictly a gift for you to celebrate my promotion to the second rank. ”
"Obviously—" the human bishop sitting across from him didn't mind in the slightest, "your collaborators don't narrowly target gifts solely on food. ”
"That's good, I'm going to keep a sense of anticipation from now on. ”
While the two were talking, the young and beautiful waitress came over and asked for the menu: "Two gentlemen, have you decided to order?"
"I want a classic beef tenderloin with foie gras in oil as an appetizer. Bill, who was obviously very familiar with the place, quickly decided, "Veal steak, medium rare, a serving of cod, and a table wine, you are free to play." ”
The waitress quickly jotted it down, then looked at Talos.
Naga picked up the menu, flipped through two pages, found one that suited her taste, and gestured twice to the waitress: "Help me make these three pages." ”
Being able to work in a top restaurant frequented by celebrities and dignitaries, the waitress has a very good professional quality, and she is not a little flustered by the appearance of a bishop and a naga, and she behaves very generously and decently, in fact, it is not unusual to see an archbishop here, but Talos's words still made her flutter.
With an apologetic smile, she asked softly, "Sir, I'm very sorry, I may have misheard something just now?"
Bloodline Knights mostly have a good appetite and are not surprised to be able to eat a little, but three pages ...... O goddess of wealth!
"No, you don't. Talos handed the menu to the other party and nodded heavily, "It's really three pages, from the starter, the main course to the dessert, all of them." ”
"Your appetite is still ...... Well...... Not bad. Looking at the back of the waitress who was a little skeptical, Bill smiled and said, "I wish the next Naga guest wouldn't be labeled as edible when he comes here." ”
"That's not a bad thing. At least not for him, Talos said.
[Gluttony] did bring some trouble and threat to Naga, but after sealing the earthly python in the surface world, Talos's ability in gluttony has been strengthened in a new round.
The most remarkable thing is that it took him a full thirty days in the gladiatorial arena to collect enough divine power to open the temporary imprint door, and after stripping off gluttony, after the soul fire was promoted, he collected two copies in the same time!
However, to Talos's surprise, when he was about to perform the second dimensional descent while he was still in Inca, he found that the temporary sigil door could not be opened smoothly.
The earthly python pattern that had previously appeared on the temporary sigil door disappeared, causing Naga to wonder if it was necessary to wait until the second primordial desire appeared before it could be opened normally.
The human bishop smiled and let the conversation pass, pulling out a chronological parchment scroll from the spatial ring and handing it to Talos.
"Zod's bloodline expertise?" Talos said, his handwriting mottled on it, "This is a fragment of a bloodline book?"
"Yes, from a bloodline knight family that has been dead for many years, the Zodd family of the Faro Kingdom. Bill slipped a small piece of steak into his mouth and let out a slight moan of satisfaction, "The Zod family inherits the bloodline of the Skeleton Monitor Lizard, a very ancient creeping beast. ”
As its name suggests, its head is covered with a pale cuticle, and the front half is very similar to the upper body of a human, with an inverted triangle and strong muscles, with only two legs, which look like two human arms from a distance.
Capable of reaching up to 95 feet in length, this terrifying beast is powerful and fast-moving, and despite not being related to the dragon, it is still known as the Earthwalking Dragon.
"I know that you have an outstanding family background, and there is no shortage of combat expertise to hone your skills, and as for the ...... weapons," Bill's gaze fell on the two froststeel scimitars at Talos's waist, "and they were forged by the Naga witches of the Snow Mountain Temple with the help of divine power." ”
"Gifts are usually just a difference between having and not being in your eyes, so I've chosen the most special one of the fragments of the Zord Family Book of Bloodlines, which contains a bloodline specialty that I hope will inspire you. ”
Talos withdrew his gaze from the parchment, looked at the human bishop and said very seriously, "A precious gift, I like it very much. ”
After the bloodline knight was promoted to the second order, learning combat expertise became a top priority, although there was still a level of distance from the bloodline specialty, but Talos probably knew Bill's intentions.
Considering the appearance of the skeleton monitor lizard, it resembles a human lying on the ground when prostrate on the ground, very similar to the overall silhouette of Naga, and this bloodline specialty from the Zodd family is useful to Talos.
It's called Fury Tail!
