27 The God of all sources is watching you

Port Passima, also known as the "Golden City", is a seaport city located on the island of Passima, the largest island in the Dragonon Empire. As the main island of the archipelagic nation, Passima Island is home to more than half of the population of the Dragon Empire, and Port Passima is the most populous and densely populated city on the island. The demographic advantage also contributed to the economic and cultural affluence of the city, and the port of Pasima was not only the most prosperous city in the Dragon Empire, but also the most prosperous seaport city in the world.

The port of Pasima is also famous as a city on the water, half of the city is built on the sea, crisscrossed by rivers, and people rely on light boats to get around. Milo chartered a small yacht and navigated the river nimbly, passing under old stone bridges and past the towering old buildings. The boatman's piloting skills were a good representation of the life of the harbor city, even the narrowest and most crowded places could not be difficult for them, and they could always squeeze through them smoothly, and at great speed, almost without stopping, Milo passed through half the city in a moment, reached the other half of the city, which was built entirely on land, and disembarked from the dinghy, and went straight to the Drunken Dragon Hotel, where the sailors of the escort ship told him that Erin and the others had stayed.

It was already noon, and the streets were filled with the smell of rice, mixed with the fishy smell of seafood, which made Milo feel hungry. The location of the Drunken Dragon Hotel is not difficult to find, but when Milo got there, he saw a scene he couldn't have imagined:

There is an open-air tavern next to the Drunken Dragon Hotel, which is overcrowded at this time, all the seats are full, and the diners waiting in line have extended the long queue to a hundred meters away, such a spectacular scene is the first time Milo has seen it, but what shocked him even more was that in the tavern there were not only tavern maids serving diners, but also his companions: Night Sparrow and Snow Dog!

Night Sparrow, who is usually cold and arrogant, stands at the dining table and listens to customers ordering at this time, and it is easy to be misunderstood that she wants to blow the guests away. Snow Inu, on the other hand, is much better, respectfully and carefully recording the customer's order, and then running to the other table to record the customer's needs, but he is unable to speak, giving people a strange feeling.

The battle makeup on the faces of Night Sparrow and Snow Dog did not cause panic among the diners, which made Milo relax a little...... Can anyone explain what these two are doing? But soon Milo saw an even more shocking image - a familiar red figure was busy in the same open-air kitchen: Erin, how did you become a chef? Are the three of you here to travel or run a tavern? Milo was surprised and walked over to Erin.

"Ahhh As soon as Erin looked up and saw him, she quickly shouted, "Wait, when we're done with this hour, I—I'll explain to you what's going on." After saying that, she grabbed a large handful of colorful shells or something, put them in a pot and boiled them, and added various seasonings. Erin's cooking is as delicate as the face armor she wears when she handles an arquebus, and she brings a pair of chef's gloves to protect her hands from corrosion or burns. Nightsparrow and Snow Dog also saw Milo, and instead of showing joy or excitement about the reunion, they simply said hello and threw themselves back into the hectic tavern work, leaving Melo standing stunned and at a loss. Maybe it's because Milo herself really contracted the plague and is now hallucinating.

The guests feasted, Erin and the others were busy, and Milo watched the incredible scene in a daze...... To be sure, Erin is a good cook, cooking almost all the main dishes on the table, and these diners are obviously here for her cooking, so the popularity shows the high level of her cooking.

After a long time had passed, the customers in the tavern had finally dispersed, and the full-time tavern maids had already begun to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it. Mello also recovered from the shock and asked about the Night Sparrow and Snow Dog, who had collapsed at the dining table, while Erin was cooking for the four of them, after all, they hadn't had time to eat lunch yet.

"Why are you here...... Work? Melo asked, staring at the snow dog. Snow Inu looked helpless and made a gesture: You ask her.

"Ah...... That's right," said Night Sparrow, "When we arrived here three days ago, it was already late, and we were going to rest directly at the Drunken Dragon Inn......" Hearing this, the snow dog raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and what happened after that seemed to be the point, "but I still want to drink some wine and sleep." You know, I'm a terrible drinker, and when I got drunk, I accidentally smashed the shop......" She gestured to some broken wooden tables and chairs not far away, a look of annoyance.

"Then it's okay to lose money, you also have a lot of money on you." Milo said. The Snow Dog poked in Erin's direction and motioned for the Night Sparrow to continue.

Night Sparrow said: "Originally, we were also planning to lose money, but little Irene said that it was better not to spend the money on her body, and asked the shopkeeper what other way to repay it...... However, the shopkeeper was a good man, and said that he was short of manpower here, so he asked if we could work here for free for a day...... Alas, who knew that little Erin cooked so well, and all the customers around him were snatched by him. Of course, the shopkeeper saw the business opportunity, so he asked us to work for a few more days, and he paid ......"

"You agreed?" Mello asked in surprise.

"We don't agree!" Night Sparrow almost shouted, but she was afraid that Erin would hear it, so she looked in Erin's direction, but fortunately, the other party did not react, "I don't know where the shopkeeper learned that Erin is also a believer in the Wanyuan Sect, so he pointed to that...... The huge statue standing there said, 'The God of All Sources is watching you,' and we, little Irene, were tricked into agreeing to do it. Thanks to Irene's good cooking, this tavern actually made ten times the usual profit...... The shopkeeper also kept his promise and gave us a lot of gold coins. ”

"Looks like you're pretty proud...... And what about the shopkeeper? Why didn't you see it. Milo asked.

"He went to the beach to buy goods, most of the food here is seafood or something, the ones we rarely eat usually, there are also local specialties......

"Dinner is coming! Sister Night Sparrow is here to help. Erin's lively voice came, and soon several large plates were placed on the table, "It's yours, Milo." ”

Snow Dog looked at the rice bowls and plates in front of several people, suddenly opened his eyes wide and began to gesticulate, and pointed to the plate in front of himself and Milo, as if he had encountered something that made him unhappy, Milo saw from his gestures the meaning of "why", "than", "more" and "better". Nightfinch elbowed her husband and motioned for him to eat quietly.

After a few bites of the food on her plate, Milo instantly understood why the hotel was crowded with guests, and Irene's cooking was indeed delicious, although it could not be said to be the most delicious food she had ever tasted, but the average tavern could not reach this level. "It's delicious! Erin. Milo couldn't help but praise.

"Thanks for the compliment, then eat more." Erin happily responded.

Milo looked at the abundant and delicious food in front of him, felt the burning gaze from the snow dog again, and finally understood the general meaning of his gesture just now: "Why is there more food on Milo's plate than mine, better than mine?" Milo pretended not to care about this matter, and asked while eating: "Actually, you don't need to work here all the time, don't you go to see so many places to visit on the island?" ”

"You're not here, it's no fun to play, it's better to pass the time here and wait for you to come over." Erin said with a smile, but her eyes did not look at Milo, as if she was very shy. Night Sparrow and Snow Dog also smiled at each other and continued to enjoy the delicious food. In the distance, the huge colossus of the God of Ten Thousand Sources seemed to be really watching here, bringing happiness and joy to this small corner.

Towards the end of the evening, before the open-air tavern opened, a long queue of guests came again. The tavern keeper also returned, and Milo didn't communicate anything with him, just silently helping to deliver the ingredients, and then began to chop wood and get started. Erin was also ready to get busy with the things in the kitchen, lighting a fire and getting busy.

"We're going to stop tonight." Nightfinch and the shopkeeper said that they had brought a great profit to the tavern in the past two days, and although the shopkeeper was sorry, he was also very measured, and stuffed the gold into Nightfinch's hand and paid him in advance.

When the opening hours arrived, guests flocked to the restaurant, ordering food and drink, and couldn't wait to enjoy the food. There were also a few curious customers who came to the open-air kitchen to see for themselves what this chef could make such a delicious meal looked like, and when they found out that it was a beautiful woman like Erin, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Suddenly, a customer shouted, "That chef is Erin Akayi!" ”

The tavern was immediately silent, the long queue waiting for dinner was silent, and everyone around was silent.

Erin, who was busy, was also too frightened to speak, looking around in horror, letting the food in the pot boil.

"It's her! It's her, she's involved in the plot to assassinate Ressen! Another voice rang out.

Hearing this, the guests put down their dishes and chopsticks and began to scatter and flee from the place. "Not good!" Night Sparrow glanced at the snow dog, then took Erin's hand and walked away quickly, "Sister, let's hurry back to the inn to pack up, we're leaving!" Erin had to hurry after the Night Sparrow, and she had no choice but to do it. Not far away, Milo also stopped chopping wood, quietly took a firewood knife, and left here.

Soon, the guards of Persima City rushed to hear the news - although there was a conflict between the Dragonon Empire and the Spreet Empire, they recognized Duke Resson's status as the savior in the Djinn Crisis, and the arrest of Resson's assassin was no longer a matter of country, but of avenging the savior as a human being. The guards quickly surrounded the tavern and found that there was no one else here except the original shopkeeper and maid, so they began to search the surrounding buildings, and the first one to bear the brunt was the Drunken Dragon Hotel, where outsiders would basically choose to stay. At this time, Erin and Nightfinch had just packed their bags.

"Go through the window!" Nightsparrow ordered, and the two jumped through the window to the back of the inn.

"She's here!" A voice came from nowhere, but the person who spoke it was quickly knocked unconscious - it was Milo. But the voice still led the guards over, and seeing that they were going to intercept the way of the two, Milo also took a firewood knife and prepared to fight-

"Whew——!!!!!" A deafening animal roar attracted the attention of the guards, and the interception was temporarily stopped.

"Quick!" Night Sparrow quickly pulled Erin and joined up with Milo, and the three of them began to flee to the location of the Colossus of the God of Ten Thousand Sources, and under the gaze of the Colossus, the escape was not over.
