Chapter 1139: Lost in the Oasis (21)
Palamides narrowed his cat's eyes to take a closer look.
The tender pink steak, lying quietly in the sauce filled with the aroma of roasted onions and garlic, is dead, but it has a certain surprising sense of coercion.
Looking at the color of the meat on the plate, it's obviously not beef?
The tender pink flesh, with a vibrant sheen when cooked, seemed to come from a creature higher than the cow, a creature full of life, with an incredible breath of life after death, after being cooked into a steak.
"You must try this. Dad said with a little pride on his face: "This is the meat of the dragon beast, and it is a good thing that I occasionally hunted when I went out hunting half a year ago." Their meat is more difficult to handle than abalone, and our chef has been boiling it in soup for six months before he can barely make a small amount of edible drake steak. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a rare treasure in the world. "But I've heard that dragon blood is poisonous, and ordinary people can't eat it casually," Albert looked at the food on his plate curiously.
(Note: Albert's understanding of dragon's blood is very general and full of errors.) In fact, dragon blood is not poisonous, but dragon blood contains great magical power, which ordinary people can't bear at all, and the body will be petrified by drinking dragon blood. "Woohoo, this is Drake, not Dragon. Daddy Sphinx patiently corrected, as if teaching his own little grandson: "Although the dragon beast is a close relative of the dragon, there is a difference between the two strictly speaking—the situation is like the difference between a human and a gorilla." Moreover, the dragon beast blood in the steak has been carefully cleaned, and it is safe to eat. "Okay, okay. The tiger picked up the knife and carefully cut a small piece from the drake chop, and put the fork into his mouth.
He thought that this dragon beast meat would be very tough, and he couldn't help but take a big bite with all his strength. This bite startled the tiger so much that it almost bit off its own tongue.
No, not really. Dragon beast meat is not as tough as expected. On the contrary, it is very tender and full of taste. Its meat is delicious and fluffy at the same time. After a long period of boiling to make the dragon beast meat soft, the world's top chefs carefully fry its outer layer with perfect heat, so that the heat of the flame can penetrate into every fleshy fiber of the dragon beast little by little. As a result, the dragon beast steak became charred on the outside and tender on the inside, smooth and elastic without sticking to the teeth. Its taste is a bit like beef, but the flavor is a hundred times richer, but it is full of fragrance, and it is unexpectedly not fatty, greasy, or stinky.
It has the flavor of broth and the chewiness of abalone, and the meat fibre is incredibly fine, melting like chocolate after a few bites, seeping into Albert's tongue and teeth, and slowly sliding deep into his throat. This touch, this deliciousness, is simply the best in the world!
"Oh oh ——!" the tiger held his cheeks and hummed intoxicatedly, "Okay, so awesome meow!" Although he practiced table manners all day and had to act with Daddy Sphynx, but now that he can eat this bite of dragon meat, it is worth all his hard work! No, he feels that he can eat dragon meat once in his life, and his life is worth it!
Daddy Sphinx turned his head to look at Albert and couldn't help but laugh when he saw a little dragon steak sauce on the tiger's face. He smiled and put a tissue on Albert, and said without a temper, "Young man, where are your manners? There's a lot of dragon beast meat in stock, and if you want to eat it, I'll ask the chef to make another one for you next time. "Thank you, really!" said the tiger, wagging his tail excitedly.
"Hehehe, it's all a family, what's polite. Daddy Lionman smiled kindly.
He looked as if he was really talking to his little grandson. This god-level acting, this unmoved firmness, if the Sphinx is an actor, he will definitely win a certain little golden man award awarded by Europe every year. Looking at the face of the Sphinx, Palamides stole another glance at Philios, who was hungry and serving as a guard by the wall of the box. A chill ran through the hearts of the leopard warriors.
After the Sphinx father finished acting, he turned to Rosetta the queen of jewels and said, "My dear lady Rosetta, you said that you can't talk about business with people who don't have families, and you think that I'm not stable enough without families, right? Now you should rest assured, willing to talk to me about business, right?" Palamides swallowed. So far, it's up to Ms. Rosetta to interpret the message from this dinner. The leopard warrior even expected that the Jewel Queen would refuse the request of the Sphinx father, after all, the big cat knew best that this underworld boss was really a person with bad mouths and evil intentions. Palamides' impression of Rosetta was not bad, and if the Queen of Jewels rashly agreed to do business with the Sphinx, the big cat would always feel ashamed of this noble lady.
"Hmph, you're right. "Since you've shown enough sincerity, I can't keep putting it off. We can talk about that business, but not today, not now. It's rare for everyone to get together for dinner, please don't talk about that kind of thing full of money in front of your children and grandchildren, which swept everyone's Yaxing. "Of course. The Sphinx raised his eyebrows, at least his plan was initially successful. As for what the outcome of the business between them will be, that will be a matter for a later date.
Palamides felt a secret pity for Ms. Rosetta. But he had already made an appointment with Daddy Sphinx, and he couldn't expose the matter on such an occasion, so he could only hide it in his heart.
Daddy Sphinx smiled heartily and waved his hand, "Then, let's move on to today's dinner-" whoosh-smack!!"
Before Daddy Lionman's words could be finished, a loud bang exploded in the air thirty feet away from the crystal box, startling everyone!
The whole sky was lit up by fire, and something exploded!
At the same time, the Sahara Desert, the City of the Dead, the eastern flank of Quarantine Area Zero.
King Arthur and Evan walked side by side, sneaking through a rather dark forest, in search of the source of the mysterious sound.
Despite the darkness and depth of the forest, and the possibility of countless unknown dangers, Evan was calm.
His eagle eye skills were so powerful that the darkness couldn't help him at all. Even in such a dark and complex environment, even though his power had been sealed by the Sealing Glasses and the Sealing Bracelet, the half-dragon youth was still as relaxed as walking on the flat ground of daytime.
Seeing Evan's invincible appearance, the Knight King beside Evan looked very unhappy. After walking for a short while, Arthur began to complain in a low voice: "Evan, it is better to advise you not to rely too much on the power of those eyes. You should already know that [that place] where we are going in the future, a qiē magic and talent will be neutralized, and your Eagle Eye will not be useful. If you don't become familiar with fighting without relying on Eagle Eye now, you will suffer in the future. ”
"Are you talking about the Dark Continent?" The half-dragon young man turned his head and glanced at King Arthur and asked tentatively, "So, Your Majesty has decided to take me on an expedition to the Dark Continent?"
The Knight King stretched his face, "Looking at the way you look now, I have to think about it again." ”
"No way, it's force majeure. The half-dragon youth shrugged helplessly, obviously thinking that it was not his fault: "Even if he is double-sealed, these eyes can still see clearly. I can't even do it without looking at it.
In the future, I will try to suppress the power of Eagle Eye with a stronger seal, and fight without relying on the power of Eagle Eye Technique. But for now, let's borrow the power of these eyes more for the time being, and ensure your safety. ”
"Hmph, you can really talk. The Knight King still looked unhappy, snorted, and swung his sword to cut down some plants that stood in his way: "Then again, you are really a fool. It's rare to get a vacation and instead of going back to your wife, you come to this kind of place to take the Knights of the Round Table exam. Elison becoming your wife is really a lifetime of misfortune. ”
"Well," the half-dragon youth snorted disinterestedly, "what I'm going to do, Elison will understand." She is the wife of a knight, and she knows what a knight is after. ”
"Selfish thoughts. Arthur snorted again, his snort filled with all kinds of disdain: "I feel more and more pitiful for Elison. That child is obviously a great beauty, gentle and kind, and sings beautifully.
I really don't know if she's the tendon that is wrong, and she would marry a wooden man like you who wants to have no face, be gentle and have no gentleness, and have a bad personality.
Thanks to you, she has made great sacrifices. Now she still has to live that cold and boring life in Ethenburg, while her husband is thousands of miles away, chasing some stupid and boring dream—"
"Your Majesty!" The half-dragon young man was a little unhappy, afraid that the other party would continue to ramble, so he hurriedly interrupted King Arthur's complaint: "This is a problem between me and Elison, please don't intervene more." I'll find a chance to go back to Elason. It's just that...... Not now. ”
"Not now, when is it?next week?next month?next year?ten years from now?" Arthur sneered disappringly, his sermon was mean and merciless: "The elves live very long, and the child may be able to wait patiently." But what about you? You're only half human, a short-lived ghost. Even if [that doesn't happen], your normal lifespan is less than one-tenth of that of the elves. Just calculate how many days you have left to spend with your wife. ”
The knight king's rebuke made the half-dragon young man silent for a while. Evan quickly sank into the memories of the past.
