Chapter 39: Pastry

Ye Mu recovered from the shock and said, "But there is obviously a sun above this head." ”

"Silly boy, have you ever seen a round sun? This is not the sun, this is the 'dry eyes' of our Haidry City. ”

"What are the dry eyes?" Ye Mu was puzzled,

The aunt also seemed to be a little annoyed by the question, she pointed to a large stone tablet not far away and said, "Young man, go and see for yourself, I am stupid and can't speak clearly, and I still have to do business." ”

"Oh yes, I'm sorry for the trouble." Everyone thanked the aunt and walked towards the stele together.

Ye Mu walked in front of several people and began to analyze the information he had obtained: "First, this is still the world of the primeval forest in which we were originally located; Second, we don't have the sun above us, it's the so-called 'dry eyes', third, the city has a unique currency, called the Rainbow Shell, and fourth, there must be some special doorway in the city, which is cut off from the sea, and closing the gate means that we are at the bottom of the sea... This is what puzzles me. ”

"Wonder about what?" Qin Aowu asked puzzled.

Ye Mu explained: "From the time we set off until we boarded the city in the sea, it will not take more than two hours, and from the outside world, this city in the sea will be sunset and now sunrise and disappear."

Dai Qing took Ye Mu's words and continued: "That is to say, during the day, the city will dive into the water with the 'Baxia', and it will surface at night, and when we arrived here, the sun did not rise, and this city did not dive underwater at all. ”

Ye Mu nodded and said, "Yes, there is a big problem with time, and this is what I find weird." ”

Liu Wen's face was also quite ugly, and when Ye Mu said to play, she slowly spoke, "When I entered the city, I was obviously looking back at the city gate behind me, and in the blink of an eye, the city gate suddenly closed, I'm not exaggerating, I really just blinked my eyes and it closed." ”

"So weird?" Qin Aowu's face suddenly became solemn.

During the conversation, the four of them had already come to the stone tablet, and Ye Mu squinted his eyes and swept over the stone tablet, hoping to get some useful clues.

The stele is very large, and it is full of pictures and texts about the history of Haikucheng and some common sense, just as they can understand the language here, they can easily interpret the content recorded on the stele.

As for the drawings, you still have to understand them yourself.

'Haidry City, the city was built under the hegemony of foreign beasts, protected by foreign beasts, has existed for thousands of years, and the specific people who built the city and the time when the city was built are no longer exquisite. ’

'Outside the city, the dry city of the sea in the day dives to the bottom of the sea, and the dry city of the sea in the dark and night outside the city comes to the surface, and the scene inside the city can be seen outside the city, and only the lord of the city can see the outside of the city. ’

'The day and night of Haikucheng have nothing to do with the sunrise and sunset outside the city. ’

'The city of Haidry is a paradise for sub-people, where sub-humans are welcomed and repelled from humans. ’

'There is a strange treasure in Haidry City, named 'Dry Eye' hanging on the top of the city, like a round sun, 'Dry Eye' has a powerful and unpredictable ability, has been guarding this city, and only the previous city lords can touch the 'Dry Eye', if it is someone else, touch it and die. ’

'The lord of Haiku City has been passed down from generation to generation, and the second in power and status is second only to the lord of the city, and the lord is a capable and virtuous man who was personally selected by the previous lord to assist the next lord of the city. ’

'The contemporary city lord's name is Tao Buregret, the marquis's name is Fu Min, and the city lord's wife is named Lu Ming'

"The Lord's Wife?" Ye Mu looked puzzled, she always felt that the introduction of the 'City Lord's Wife' on the stone tablet was quite abrupt, and generally the City Lord's wife would not appear on this kind of stone tablet, even if it appeared, it should be side by side with the city lord, how could it be inserted in the middle by this great marquis?

The word 'sub-human' resurfaced in Ye Mu's mind, he remembered that the perverted alien man from before seemed to call him 'sub-human', and then looked at the people in this city, they all looked the same as himself, that is to say, in this world, 'humans' like himself were actually the so-called 'sub-humans'.

Having a general understanding of what kind of place this is, Ye Mu got up and beckoned everyone: "We also know the general situation of this city, now let's go find a place to live first, and then think about what kind of place this is." ”

Everyone nodded, followed behind Ye Mu, and followed the direction of the aunt's guidance to find the 'good hall' where they could rest.

Halfway through, a young man dressed in bright red hedgehog suddenly greeted everyone enthusiastically, he looked at everyone's dress, and said with a friendly smile: "Yo, come from other places, come, come and taste, the pastries personally distributed by Uncle Hou ordered us to distribute them to the people in the city to taste." ”

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ye Mu took a box of pastries handed by the young man and thanked him politely.

Seeing that Ye Mu was so polite, the young man was suddenly a little embarrassed, he waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, try it well, don't waste Uncle Hou's intentions."

Seeing that the young man in bright red armor seemed to be very talkative, he patted his head and asked, "Hey! By the way, big brother, I see that the people in this city are far away when they see me, why is this? ”

"Hey, something has happened in the city recently, everyone is in danger, and there are few outsiders themselves..."It seemed to touch some sensitive words, the young man immediately closed his mouth, smiled at Ye Mu and shook his head.

"Then big brother, you are busy first, and I will take my friends to find a place to live." Ye Mu learned from the ancients and arched his hand towards the young man, and led everyone to continue walking in the direction of the 'Good Hall'.

Seeing the people coming and going on the road, many of them holding pastries in their hands, some children couldn't wait to open the box and start tasting the delicious food in the box.

Ye Mu was originally a foodie, and he relied on his immortal body to eat unscrupulously.

He couldn't wait to open the small wooden box with pastries in his hand, only to see that there were six orange and soft glutinous fragrant cakes neatly placed in the box, and the delicate pastries exuded a very attractive light fragrance, which made people appetite.

Ye Mu carefully reached out and picked up a piece of soft glutinous pastry, and took a bite gently, the taste was oily and not greasy, the entrance was not astringent, the swallowing was crispy, sweet and salty, fragrant and cold, and the real number was good.

Ye Mu squinted his eyes and savored it, and suddenly his eyebrows rose slightly, and his eyes involuntarily looked to the upper left, as if he was thinking about something.

Dai Qing has been observing Ye Mu's every move, and when she saw Ye Mu's face showing a different color, she asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with pastries? ”

Ye Mu's expression was a little puzzled, and he said, "It's okay... This pastry tastes like osmanthus cake, and the strange thing is that there is a small trace of cooked meat in it, if I don't eat it slowly, I definitely can't taste it. ”

Liu Wen said incomprehensibly: "It may be a unique recipe from other people's side, the materials for making pastries are different in each place, and it is normal to add some shredded meat."

"But this shredded meat is bitter and astringent, and the pastry is really sweet, which always feels very strange." Ye Mu shook his head: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but for the sake of safety, don't eat the rest of the pastries first, and you can eat them when you get to the accommodation and I don't have any health problems." ”

"Girls, I don't like these kinds of desserts." Qin Aowu shook his head and walked in front of everyone.

The 'Shan Tang' is a two-building building made of wood, the scale is large, and it seems to have just been built, and it is more than six stories high, which is the tallest wooden building Ye Mu has ever seen.

There was a team of red-armored guards patrolling outside the gate of the 'Good Hall', and the guards were full of energy and energy.

The leader saw Ye Mu and the three of them coming, nodded politely, and then stretched out his hand to point to the entrance of the gate, signaling everyone to enter from this side.

Dai Qing blinked, looked up and said to Ye Mu, "I found that these guards are quite kind. ”

Ye Mu also nodded in agreement: "Well, it shows that the people of this city are good, the city is peaceful and peaceful, and I don't know what trouble has been encountered, which makes those people panic." ”

Entering the gate, there was a row of beautiful girls wearing antique dresses sitting on the bar counter in the hall, Ye Mu walked to the bar with a few people, and asked politely: "Hello, what procedures do I need to go through to apply for check-in here." ”

The girl in front of her smiled sweetly and said softly: "Register the date of entry, name, number of people, where it comes from, outsiders can stay for free for two days, and need to pay accommodation fees on the third day, and each house can accommodate up to two people, and you can't take turns to register and repeat your stay."
