Chapter 567: My Neighbor, Mr. Lanchi
After the first great war between the blood clan and the demon clan, the two sides signed the "Treaty between the North and the South", and the demon clan then experienced an unprecedented economic boom, and the demon industry developed rapidly, promoting the rise of engineering construction and consumerism.
In this era, many demons have gained great wealth and high status through investment and trade, and it is not impossible to become nouveau riche or ascend to the sky in one step.
Just like the birth of Rocky McCarthy, it will not be so difficult for the demons to speculate, it can only be said that it is normal, maybe the next Rocky McCarthy may appear next year.
Of course, the reason why this restaurant quickly became famous was not only because McCarthy himself was unusually deep in Necalis and seemed to be friendly with many ministers, but also had a unique limited menu called Earl Blood.
It is a bright red pudding that is said to have magical powers that can make demons addicted.
In the Demon Realm, chefs who can make food with additional magic effects are not inferior to those of the Demon Craftsmen.
And the Earl Blood Prosperous meal, after eating a certain amount for the first time, will even permanently increase its physical strength attributes.
So it has gradually become a hard-to-find meal in this restaurant.
Many demons want to replicate McCarthy's path to success, but they can't find a clue at all.
"A demon told me that he had killed many of his kind."
A burst of conversation brought Lysandra back to reality.
Lisandra felt a chill at once, because she knew that these demons were talking about the owner of the palace restaurant, Rocky McCarthy.
She had already followed her old classmate, the blonde aristocratic lady Tia, to stand beside the demon men and women, and soon under the introduction of Miss Tia, she completed the introduction with the surrounding demon shadows.
This is the real aristocratic circle of the royal capital of Necalis, like Lisandra can only say that she is a descendant of the ancient great demon Duke Pukeley, and disguise that she is actually "mixed in" because she lives next door, and is not a distinguished member of this restaurant.
Strangely timid to Lisandra, the demon nobleman on the side leaned forward, eager to hear about the owner of the restaurant.
"I don't think it's going to be like that."
The eldest lady Tia said hesitantly,
"He's more likely a spy in times of war."
As the cousin of the Demon World General Lei Mingqing, she can probably see that many of the employees in the restaurant have military literacy, and she doesn't believe it to say that McCarthy has nothing to do with the Demon Army.
She had explored the restaurant several times before, asking all the demons she knew, but she didn't get the slightest clue about McCarthy.
This ghostly presence only reminded her of what her cousin had said about a high-level spy with professional qualities.
A demon gentleman nodded in agreement, took a breath, and then lowered his tone by half a minute:
"I've heard the demons talk about this, there are demons who know him a little bit, he seems to have just come back from the border, with the emblem of the orc city-state family, even if the war is over, it seems that he has been lurking in the human kingdom and the blood kingdom, doing business all the way, and finding another way to make a fortune."
He swore that his gossip was accurate.
"Oh, no."
The girl's retort drew Lysandra's face to the other side,
"How could he be a spy during the war, because he studied at the Purgatory Corridor Academy during the war, and I've heard from many demons that Rocky McCarthy studied at the cruel school of the Purgatory Corridor Academy."
Seeing that the young aristocrats were beginning to tend to believe her claims, she added excitedly.
"But I'm also sure that sometimes you can tell from the casual look on the face of the staff at this restaurant, I bet he must have killed many demons."
She narrowed her eyes and shivered just by gossiping about herself.
Lisandra shuddered involuntarily as well.
Chatting and chatting, all the demons around couldn't help but use their eyes in their leisure time, trying to find the figure of the rumored Chinese restaurant owner Rocky McCarthy in the golden palace.
However, there were no clues.
It could be downstairs, it could be upstairs, it could be any of the demons they saw.
No one knows what kind of demon race he is, whether he is young or old, handsome or mediocre.
Even the demons who usually talked about everything had to whisper when McCarthy was mentioned in the restaurant, convincing each other of how mysterious the demon was surrounding him.
"Anyway, at the royal ceremony in a week's time, we should be able to see McCarthy in the palace."
Finally, a nobleman said with regret.
According to McCarthy's current relationship in the royal capital of Necalis, there is a high probability that he will be invited.
Many of the celebrities gathered here were able to attend, and it is unlikely that McCarthy, who had brought them together, would not be able to attend.
Perhaps that would be Rocky McCarthy's first public appearance.
Before that, he might have been in this palace, just walking past you, and you wouldn't have noticed it.
"If Mr. McCarthy is willing to participate, maybe for him, a mere princess is nothing to look at."
Blonde aristocratic lady Tia spreads her hands,
"Lisandra, how is the princess? Can you seduce McCarthy? ”
She asked again as she looked at her little attendant, Lisandra.
"Uh, it's beautiful......"
Lisandra replied.
She understands what Tia means, after all, the princess has no rank, and she wants power or power, as a caged bird with the nature of a work of art, the only thing that may be attractive to men is posture.
"But a demon like McCarthy, no female demon has ever seen it, so it's impossible to go there specifically to see the princess's beauty, and the princess won't be so beautiful."
While Lisandra was silent, a demon beside her quickly retorted.
The only one who can take the princess away is the big demon.
And McCarthy is obviously not a big demon.
The rest of the demons are all witnesses, participating in the rare lively scene, at most just to see the princess's current appearance.
"It does ......"
Lisandra thought for a moment and could only nod.
If McCarthy is really a womanizer who covets the princess's beauty, he will disillusion all the demons who are curious about him.
After more than ten minutes of standing on the second floor of the restaurant, the first dinner was almost over.
Of course, there is a second one after midnight.
Tia invited Lisandra to join her at the table in the open-air garden on the second floor, along with the young demons.
The moon climbed higher, a row of silver sand hung in the endless night sky over the bay, and the sound of the harp jingled pleasantly, as if it could let the midsummer breeze flow with it.
It was more open, and it was clear how big McCarthy's estate was, and the sofas on either side of the table were more comfortable to sit on, and the smell of wine was not as heavy as in the room, which made Lysandra feel like she could breathe easier.
Even outside, you can hear the sound of musical opera playing in the restaurant like a show, and the champagne is frothy in slender glasses, and the waiters bring it to each guest with a crisp clinking sound.
The next table was not so lively, except for a demon with pure white horns and lines.
In the distance, the same laughter continued.
"Tomorrow happens to be the day when the royal family receives the blood envoy, Count Sergio, don't sleep too late today."
The sound of conversation echoed through the wide open-air plaza on the second floor.
The demons who can come to this restaurant basically know what the guests at the distant tables are discussing.
The Blood Clan Mission, which arrived in advance of the Demon Realm, seems to have been due to the disappearance of a Blood Count near the Demon Realm a few days ago.
The blood clan highly suspected that a demon clan had violated the "North-South Agreement" and attacked the earl.
And the demons who have the strength to subdue the Blood Earl are now almost all gathered in the Demon King City of Necalis.
Now, the Bloodline investigation has led Count Sercho to cast a spell in the royal capital of Necalis, and to investigate any clues about the murderer.
No matter where the missing Earl is hidden, and how many times it has been sealed, as long as it is a demon who has recently been stained with the blood of the Blood Clan, it will be sensed by the Blood Detective Count Sercho.
"Assuming that it is a high-powered Great Demon Clan who harmed the Blood Earl, once it is accused, I am afraid it will cause a serious diplomatic crisis."
Lisandra's fellow demons sighed.
She nodded silently like a little transparent when she heard the words.
For this level of affairs, the blood envoy Count Sergio is visiting the king of the demon world, that is, the princess, and Luo Qing, as a minister, is only protecting the safety of the princess.
Luo Qing also cleverly pushed this trouble to the princess, and the princess was the shield.
Because if it is dealt with by the real person in power, the problem will become even more troublesome.
These nobles at the same table maintained a relatively dignified posture, eagerly discussing the major affairs of the demon world, consciously representing the family, and treating Lisandra who was also able to come here was quite friendly.
At this time, Lisandra also began to feel fluttering.
She had already drunk two large glasses of wine, and the scene before her was gradually becoming hazy.
But she was also worried that if she overslept tomorrow, she would be late.
Probably because of this kind of event that made the restaurant close late tonight, McCarthy, as a neighbor, invited her over as compensation.
"If the Bloodline's troubled princess can handle it tomorrow, then her prestige may become quite powerful, but if she can't handle it well, she will successfully prove that she is a useless vase."
The blonde aristocratic lady Tia mentioned the princess again,
"Actually, everyone who understands understands, most of the demons don't have any expectations for her tomorrow, if she deserves this status, Luo Qing won't rush her to the front like this, and block the blood envoy."
The other demons also agreed.
Lisandra clenched her half-point glass.
It's already the third time.
Although the truth is telled.
But Lisandra always felt that Miss Tia was very hostile to the princess.
If you really want to talk about the noble blood, Tia can't compare to the princess at all.
"I think the princess is a very good demon."
Lisandra hung her head and muttered word by word,
"Your cousin Lei Mingqing, he has to be selected by the princess before he can win, although you say she is not worthy, but she can indeed choose, princess, she is qualified to choose, and you are not qualified to choose your cousin."
She probably took advantage of the strength of the wine to tell the truth, and this time she didn't want to echo Tia's smile anymore.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
There was an instant silence on the couch next to the table.
They all stared at Lisandra and Tia in amazement.
But Miss Tia didn't say much.
She struggled to maintain the dignity and calmness that belonged to the aristocracy.
But with the subtle effect of alcohol, those emotions buried deep in her heart seemed to be difficult to hide, and her eyes began to be covered with a layer of mist.
She gradually grabbed the corner of her skirt with one hand, and tears began to fall.
This reaction left Lisandra confused.
The other demons around know it.
Because Tia just hopes that Lei Mingqing can lose, and doesn't want her cousin to be taken away by a woman she has never met.
And Lisandra's words, for Tia, are too aggressive.
"I can, what can I do."
Tia slid tear after tear down her perfect face, her hands trembled slightly, and the wine in her glass shook slightly.
At this moment, although she is still beautiful, the fragility and grievance are extremely fragile in this silent night.
She knew that their family needed a princess, and she also knew that she didn't want her cousin to win, but she couldn't tell her cousin, otherwise it would only appear that she was ignorant and dragged their family and cousin back.
"I'm me, I'm not that way, I don't know if you actually ......"
Lisandra became overwhelmed for a moment.
She hadn't seen her old classmate Tia for many years, and she didn't know that Tia actually became jealous of the princess because she liked her cousin Lei Mingqing.
She knows how to deal with a demon like the princess who is weak on the surface and strong on the inside, but when she suddenly faces a woman like Tia who is tough on the surface but fragile on the inside, she just feels that everything seems out of place.
Just as Lisandra panicked.
"This young lady, do you need help?"
Calm and gentle voices sounded behind them.
At the table next to them was still the same male demon, his horns glowing faintly as if they were white jade-like exoskeletons.
In the Demon Realm, there were very few light-attribute demons, or demons as beautiful as him, especially his emerald green pupils.
Looking closely, he found that there was a short girl sitting next to him, asleep by his arm.
So he didn't move.
Now that the little girl was asleep, he finally gently laid her down on the sofa and let her lie down on the sofa to sleep peacefully.
