Chapter 1, Mebis
Night covered the entire town of Green, and a blood-red full moon hung in the dim darkness, and rolling dark clouds obscured the moonlight.
From time to time, flashing thunder light emerged from the depths of the dark clouds, and jumping thunder snakes surrounded the gradually darkening clouds, exuding an unsettling aura, bursts of thunderous roars breaking the peaceful night sky, and the sound rose wave after wave.
Below the clouds, a small and small spatial crack appeared, suspended high in the sky, and wisps of strange fluctuations spread out irregularly from the smashing gap of the mirror.
Suddenly, the thundercloud that had been brewing in the air seemed to be provoked, and a yellow lightning bolt as thick as the mouth of a bowl fell, slashing straight towards the crack, just as the majestic electric light was about to destroy the small gap.
A giant red hand, like a chick, firmly held the bowl of mouth-sized, infinitely powerful yellow thunderbolt in the palm of his hand, kneaded it up and down, and then the giant hand carrying the thunder and lightning quickly disappeared into the crack. Just as the giant hand returned to the rift,
A huge eye appeared above the clouds, it had golden pupils, and many yellow rings were superimposed on each other, dazzling, the shape was like a perfect circle, and the part that wrapped the pupil was as clear as crystal, and the gold was integrated with the translucent eyeballs, and the night sky under the moonlight covered by the clouds looked holy and majestic.
The appearance of the eyeballs caused some noises to come from the cracks, as if something was whispering inside.
"It's like... This guy is in pieces. A gruff voice said
"Eh, yes, what should I do next, it's really a cold headache, or ..... Right, right... That's it," another voice said in a flirtatious tone.
"Okay," said the rugged male voice just now.
"That....", the flirtatious tone seemed to say to a non-existent person.
"OK, OK" That's it" seems to be recognized by something, and the decision is made.
At this time, a small white dot appeared from the crack, the size of a grain of rice, slow, and a little like a dandelion seeding with the wind, but the trajectory of the flight was not random, but fell above a restaurant, and a flirtatious male voice came from the point of light,
"Yo yo yo, that's it"
The light spotted a close look at a young man sleeping in a small room on the upper floor of the tavern.
After a long time, the point of light decided to make a choice, through the crumbling window, which was being dragged by the whirring wind, slowly towards the young man who was still asleep, whispering in his dreams, and then the point of light came to the young man's smooth forehead, and just like that, it gently submerged, and then nothing happened
The eyes in the sky observed the crack that slowly disappeared into the void, and when it found that it was all right, it used its huge pupils to look down on the town below, and after some inspection, it didn't get anything, and then disappeared into the night, and the black clouds that gathered were long gone, and the moonlight was able to re-reflect the land, and there were no clouds, only the white moon.
In the early morning, the white-bellied clouds began to show the day's sunshine, and the birds had already gone out to hunt for the chicks waiting to be fed, and the sound of chirping was heard throughout the town of Green. A sleepy-eyed boy wearing a shirt made of coarse linen and pants made of black Ronnie shows up at a grocery store in the town.
"It's early today, Mebes" Och, the owner of the grocery store, a bald-headed, ugly-looking man, greeted the boy without looking back.
Due to the weather in the northern federation this year, the goods transported are much less than in the past, so the stingy Auchi took care of the goods himself, sorting out the materials that had just arrived from Lanchester Province yesterday.
"Morning, Ochie" Mebis also did not raise his head, and lowered his head to check the order order that needed to be used today.
"3 bottles of inferior rum, a little black ink pepper, 2 small bottles of Northland cumin, dried bamboo shoots." As she examined, she chattered in tatters, taking a closer look at the scribbling on the papyrus. Because this is related to the daily operation of the tavern, as an orderer at Papa's Tavern and a chef in another leader, it is natural to do a good job.
"Hurry up, what do you want to buy, my time is precious," Ochie finished packing the last item of goods in hand, and turned his head to interrupt him unceremoniously.
Mebis, who had already thought about it, quickly reported it in Lanchester Tongling, and a large list of raw materials.
"3 small packets of black black peppers, 2 small bottles of Northland cumin, fresh Norman jam, 2 bottles of oranges and rhubarb peaches, and ......"
Aoqi quickly took out a variety of materials from under the container, and grabbed different samples according to Mebis needs.
Led by the large and small bags, Mebis walked towards the Daddy's Tavern in the middle of Green Town, and the residents on the road greeted him friendly, many of them were adolescent girls, and when Mebis responded in a friendly manner, the latter's face was more or less faintly red.
The young Bai Zhe's face, turquoise eyes, thick black hair, and tall and slender figure are particularly eye-catching in this rural town.
Soon they came to a bustling restaurant made of fine wood, with empty bottles of various sizes hanging from the wooden walls on the top beams, in a style very different from the street buildings, and with the words "Papa's Tavern" in bold words written in the lingua franca hanging by the door.
Mebis hurriedly pushed open the back door of the tavern, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a crisp white suit, with a long black cloth around his waist, and a cylindrical white hat on his head, busy preparing various ingredients.
As if sensing the sound of the door opening, the man turned around slowly, his pitch-black hair color was clearly visible from the edge of the round hat, and a pair of ink-black eyes were pierced by several wild pale red scars, and his hideous face matched with a Chinese character face, making people feel the majesty in it. A thick black beard is wrapped around the chin, mouth, and ears in two rows. The tall, muscular figure filled almost the entire kitchen, and the bulging muscles under the white chef's uniform seemed to crack with the slightest force.
When the latter saw Mebis, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted at him in his hoarse, magnetic voice
"I'm waiting for you, boy"
Mebis, who was sorting out the package, smiled knowingly and raised her head to look at the other party's majestic gaze
"Okay, Daddy"
Mebis didn't know what Daddy's real name was, and didn't ask, for for as long as he could remember, he had followed the mountain man from place to place until he built the tavern in the town of Green. For him, this is his home, and Mebes, who has been alone since he was a child, his father is his father.
As for his origins, to be honest, he doesn't know. Maybe my dad knew, because he said that when he was a baby in swaddling clothes, he was abandoned at the foot of a wild hillside, and was found by his father, who happened to be passing by looking for ingredients, so my father raised me to this day, taught him to be a man, learned all kinds of knowledge, and exercised himself.
