Section D, Chapter 20: The Missing Chef (Seresya)

A sense of fear invaded his mind, and he instinctively quickly spit out the food in his mouth. Pushing the spoon away, Mad Dog grabbed the kettle on the table next to him and poured it out again, trying to rinse the poisonous foam from his mouth.

After repeating it several times in a row, the sweet aroma of the poison finally dissipated. Angrily smashing the kettle, the mad dog spat a mouthful, wiped his mouth and pulled out his stabbing sword: "Okay, who poisoned your grandfather's dish!ah?!"

Everyone looked at this side in horror, with expressions of unknown expressions. The restaurant, which was bustling with activity just now, is now silent.

"Crazy...... Mad dog?" Lusha looked frightened: "Poison...... Yes?"

"That fruit salad is poisonous. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the mad dog felt a little hot in his mouth, and his throat was so dry: "The poison is very small, but fortunately I can taste it...... If you swallow it, you'll be done.

"Huh?" Lusha's voice trembled, "I...... I don't know—"

"Of course you don't know, if you can still feed me?" Mad Dog frowned and stared at the plate of fruit salad, "Aya is really handy for immune toxins...... You've eaten most of the plate, and there's nothing wrong with you. ”

"I—I didn't taste it. Lusha's expression was extremely depressed, and she lowered her head listlessly: "I'm sorry, brother." I almost hurt you—"

"You can't taste normal, it's none of your business. Seresa slammed her fist on the table, angrily pulled out her sword, and yelled at the frightened waiter: "Why are you still stunned?! Get me the bastard who made this dish!"

"Brother, he doesn't understand Eurasiatic. A small hand reached out and pulled the corner of the mad dog's coat: "And don't point your weapon at that man...... You freak the hell out of him. ”

Clenching the hilt of his sword, the mad dog held back his anger and thrust it back into his waist. Gently flanking Lusa, Seresa impatiently approached the waiter and grabbed him by the collar: "I've been pestle here, I just don't want to look for it, right? Okay, I'll solve it myself-Lao Tzu demolished your back kitchen! Lusa, you come and translate with him." ”

Violently overthrowing the man with a dead face, the mad dog rushed straight to the kitchen with rage. Too lazy to make a detour, he stomped heavily on the waiter who was trying to get up, crushing him to the ground again.

Ignoring the screams of pain coming from behind, Seresa kicked the door and crashed into the house. As soon as she wanted to raise her throat and scream, Ceresya seemed to be choked, but opened her mouth in shock, but did not make a sound: there was no one in the kitchen.

The mad dog gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted, "Hey, there's no one in the kitchen?"

"What? this can't be!" a man's figure hurriedly appeared in front of the door: "The waiter went in to serve the food before...... How could it be that no one was there?"

"Come on, come on, see for yourself. The mad dog impatiently moved away and let the man into the kitchen: "Where's the man you are talking about?"

"This ......," the man froze in place with a shocked expression, "it shouldn't be." ”

"How many people are in this kitchen?" asked Sereya, leaning against the doorframe, impatiently.

"Two cooks, one handyman. The man pulled his beard nervously: "Why is it not here......"

"You're the boss, aren't you...... I was almost poisoned, won't you give me an explanation?" the mad dog narrowed his eyes and stared at the man: he had just been sitting behind the counter.

"This ......," the man looked nervous, "You mean, the chef of the little shop wants to poison you?

"Then Lao Tzu has a reason to be killed?" Mad Dog interrupted him rudely, waving his hand at the back door of the kitchen: "Don't talk nonsense with me! These two people are obviously afraid of crime and abscond, can't you see it?"

"You, don't get excited. The boss hurriedly explained: "Let's call the guards first, and then test whether it is really poisonous......

"Test your uncle, if you don't think it's poisonous, you can taste it!" glared at the boss, and the mad dog turned back. However, at this moment, a faint mark on the ground caught his attention: "Hmm? something......"

"That's ...... Black ice debris. A warm and soft touch came from behind her, and Lusha hid behind the mad dog: "Derno said it looks, it's very similar to this. ”

"Black Ice?" The boss gasped, "Wait, you know Denor?"

"Oh, just that nerd? I mean, how can you speak Eurasian. Mad Dog raised his eyebrows: "Yes, what's the matter? Don't tell me, you're his father." ”

"No, I'm his second uncle. The boss breathed a sigh of relief: "This kid hasn't been here for a long time...... How is he now?"

"It's okay to gasp, you don't have to worry about it. Seresa replied in a dry tone, "Forget it, in that case, I won't have a hard time going to the guards for you, and by the way, let them help find Captain Eders." If nothing else, he can make up for his IQ by bringing Deerno with him. ”

The man was relieved and immediately turned and ran away. There were so many onlookers at the door that they almost knocked him down.

Approaching the black ice debris of ominous smoke, Mad Dog frowned and stared at it. Feeling more and more uneasy, Mad Dog suddenly remembered something: "Lusha, when you saw that corpse in the underground passage, did you have this kind of black ice debris nearby?"

"I don't remember. Lusha, who was behind her, stepped forward and stroked the black ice: "Mad dog, will they ......?"

"Well, it's mostly controlled. Ceresya frowned and looked out the door: "This time it's poison again, and the way to do it is the same as the last time...... Did the Bachelor's clone come here?"

"The body of Maester Nadia is gone. Lusha's tone was a little sad: "I can't rest in peace after death......"

"Since the bachelor in the black ice has disappeared, it is estimated that it is the original body that is poisoned, not the replica. Mad Dog narrowed his eyes: "I always feel that something is wrong...... There must be some great conspiracy among these Corruptors lurking in Eternal Winter. ”

"It's getting more and more dangerous here, and there's always someone trying to kill us. Seresa coughed dryly and continued, "Lusa, we have to think about getting out of here. When you first entered Neverwinter, didn't the visa officer tell you that? ”

"But there ...... way to lift the curse," said Lusala reluctantly, lowering her hood.

"Do you really believe that, kid?" Mad Dog narrowed his eyes and stared down at the curse-free ring, "I know you're homesick, Lusa...... But no one can guarantee that the curse will be lifted here. Isn't it?"

"The hooded man wants to help us. Aya insisted, "He gave us the ring, and ......"

"And send me and the knight over?" Mad Dog narrowed his eyes, "It's good, but he's clearly not at ease—otherwise what about some of the memories we've lost together?"
