Chapter 14: The Devil's Feast

At noon, Xi Ke obediently sat behind the counter and waited. The eyeball seemed to be a little sour after watching the movie in the morning, and began to turn outside the store to take a break. With Xike's understanding of demons, even if the sign for today's public holiday is hung out, the guests should still break in, but as soon as each demon sees that eyeball, he obediently leaves.

It looks like it's really a terrible eyeball.

All the tables in the restaurant are placed side by side, and a table of good dishes made by Nile is placed.

Tofu made from mung beans and dragon beans is topped with a special sweet soy sauce. This humble hors d'oeuvres is actually quite rare. The Mung Bean Dragon is an extremely dangerous creature, usually stocked on the top of the highest mountain in the Demon Realm. If you want to harvest the mung beans on its back, you must dispatch a combat force equivalent to a division of the Royal Knights of the Demon Realm. Therefore, this is a treasure that is only harvested once every sixty years by the caterers to raise funds to hire the Demon Mercenary Group, and there is no guarantee that the mung beans collected will not be wiped out on the top of the mountain along with the mercenaries.

The bitter lemon blood gallbladder soup is dark red, and with a little stirring, a small rainbow color will appear on the soup noodles. The three-headed snake had to be cut off in two heads, catch the blood spurting from the carotid artery before it regenerated, and mix it with herbs to maintain this color. Bitter lemon was originally a crop of the earth, transplanted to the demon world by the agricultural masters of the demon world, planted in the ground will drill out of the wailing skeleton worm (a kind of insect with a bony structure in the head, the habit is similar to the earthworm, the way of reproduction is unknown) of the land, the lemon grown has a fragrant and bitter taste, after eating, it will waft out from the depths of the throat, and it can increase the layering when added to the blood gallbladder soup. The gall is taken from the snake-tailed goose, marinated in the oil of the snake-tailed goose, and the soup is slightly scalded when it is about to be served to retain its own flavor. Sprinkle a little more dead peel on the soup. Guests can also add fly's eyes from the Demon World to their liking.

Wild fresh multi-legged fish are cut into thick fillets and grilled over a fire. Eighteen chicken-like feet were cut off, the bones were slightly cracked, soaked in mulled wine for twenty days to remove the fish, and then soaked in the saliva of petrified lizards for a month to make the bones as crisp as biscuits. Placed on the grilled fish fillet, the sweet saliva gets on the fish fillet, and the fish feet are bitten together, bringing double enjoyment to the firmness and elasticity of the fish meat and the crispness of the fish feet. Because it takes different time to prepare the meat and feet, the meat and feet of the same dish do not come from the same fish. After the fillet, the highlight is the cheeks. The head of the multi-legged fish takes up half the length of the body, and the cheeks are grilled over high heat with the whole head, and they are eaten immediately after being served.

A large plate of steaming lamb sliced. It is also an ingredient that is quite difficult to obtain. This monster only appears when lightning causes a forest fire, and once the fire is extinguished, they are also gone. It looks like a sheep on fire, not necessarily in appearance, but certainly not of a local breed. It is necessary to be familiar with the species in the area to identify the fire sheep from the animals that have fled. Fire goats are also very sensitive to hunters, and if they accidentally hit the wrong prey, all fire goats will disappear immediately. The meat of the fire lamb is always hot, and it must not be allowed to come into contact with the flames, otherwise it will disappear. There is a pot of ice cube water next to the fire mutton on the table, soak it in ice water before eating, and "boil" it with ice water until it is cooked to the desired level before eating.

The shape of the dish was hard for Rick to understand, and it looked like a bunch of black and white triangular towers stacked on top of each other, forming a delicate balance that would collapse if you pulled one of them. Those triangular towers are jelly made from needle fruit. If you rub the seeds with water, something like Aiyu will appear, and that thing will be used as the inner layer. The outer layer is made by chopping the skin of the needle into pieces and then boiling it, and the resulting jelly is hard at room temperature to protect the soft inner layer and support the shape of the triangular tower. The needle fruit itself has no taste, but it has the effect of locking in the taste. The inside is filled with a variety of fillings, including stomach-warming lava pork, refreshing human face asparagus, and plump ghost clams...... The reason why stacking is so dangerous is that you have to start at the top and taste the delicious food one by one in the order arranged by the chef.

There was a large clay pot containing a thick black sticky grass root mud with hungry ghost noodles. This particular variety of human-faced grass is very thin and has no meat, and it takes about 100 plants to make such a pot, but it must be in extremely fertile soil to grow. If you have planted the hungry ghost grass once, you can only grow green manure such as rape flowers for the next five years. A Demon Crocodile head, possibly a substitute for a fish head, sticks out of it. The pot of mud gave off a strange aroma of mixed grass. When I first smell it, it is astringent, but after a while, I start to feel a sweet smell, and after a while, I feel that my entire airway has become clearer.

The dessert is an egg-yolk hemispherical with a transparent outer layer, like an upside-down glassware. The appearance is very simple, but yesterday when Nilett was preparing the ingredients, he saw that the outer skin was made of the famous flour instead of flour and the super sweet big rich juice, and the filling was made of sour sleepless jam, with a little calamity wine and emptiness. This dessert is an auspicious dish in the Demon Realm, but the mystery of it is really difficult to understand.

Samihot took out the wine brewed in the trench to accompany the meal, and poured out the color like pink diamonds, and the strong fruity aroma filled the house, attracting a large number of demons to probe their brains outside the store.

Samihot poured a small glass for Xike and said, "This human can drink it too, especially for you to taste it. Demon World Special Liquor, non-alcoholic, contains 40% drunkenness extracted from the drunkard's head. 」

Rick stared at the cup for five seconds, and finally curiosity won and he drank. The taste is complex and not unpleasant, but it is not delicious either. It's not like something that can be drunk, but it's sweet and fragrant. If I had a choice, I would have lit it up as a fragrance. He didn't feel the drunkenness of being drunk, but he began to see glowing green dwarfs in black gauze hats on everyone's heads, toasting each other with beer glasses about the size of their bodies. Thankfully, the illusion lasted short, and disappeared after they had saluted each other for the fourth round.

Nilett made a plate of seafood noodles with plenty of ingredients, piled high with prawns, clams (from the earth, no ghosts around), mussels, and minced fish. When this plate of noodles was first put on the table, Xi Ke didn't know that it was for him, Sa Mihot beckoned, and Xi Ke walked to the table and sat down.

The minotaur demon Murmingt and the glass-faced demon Audat are here. The two of them, Sa Mihot and Big Eyeball, each sat in a seat, and two more demons that Xi Ke didn't know came, and everyone except Big Eyeball began to eat.

These people are eating and talking.

Murmingt raised his glass and said, "Because the Imperial Chef was abducted to this kind of place, this Demon Realm Countermeasures Research Conference on the Earth Realm had to be held in this kind of placeβ€”"

Before Mormingt could finish speaking, Sa Mihot interjected: "Ah Cai didn't kidnap the chef! he himself thinks your kitchen is too boring, and he wants to come to the earth!"

"It's your fault anyway, there's no food to tell you how to think!"

"The brain loves to sleep, so set an alarm clock!"

From the beginning, the pronunciation of the demonic language used by the two people was a little different from what Xi Ke had heard before. There were a few Yinxike who had never heard of it, and after thinking about it, they realized that it was two different words that were originally homophonic, and they became two different pronunciations in their mouths.

"Ah's head can't be called with an alarm clock!"

"Don't use the alarm clock to scream, let Ah smash the alarm clock on your head!"

The bull-headed and sheep-headed demons kept coming and going, and Xi Ke couldn't figure out who that Ah was, why he kept mentioning him, and after a few seconds, he found out that the word that sounded close to the earth's "Ah" turned out to be the demon's "I"!

Rick thinks that there is no "me" in the Demon Language!

Rick couldn't help but use a mixture of Etharo and demonic language to confirm, "Does that 'Ah' you say mean 'I'?"

"yes. Samihot said with a wink.

"Young people nowadays don't use the word 'I' anymore. Mormingt blinked.

"The Demon Whisper originally had 'me'?"

"yes. The older generation of demons will use this word. This used to be common. Now only the old people's gatherings would say that. Samihot scratched his chin: "How did you quit fashion at that time? By the way, after interacting with the earth, because I found that the earthlings didn't like to listen to other people's 'me' and 'me', many demons quit, even if there was only one person, or talking to someone who wanted to kill him, he called it 'we'. That sounds more relatable. Recently, it has become fashionable to discard the word "you" and replace it with "friend". 」

Nick held his head and struggled to digest the message. Now the demons who don't speak of "me" only began to add "me" in other languages to the dialogue after Attaro. But they initially abandoned the word "I" because people on Earth don't like to hear people say "I".

"It's not that hard to understand. Isn't there something similar in your country?" said Samichot, standing on the chair and patting Rick on the shoulder.

"Yes?" asked Rick aloud. He couldn't remember such a strange thing in his country.

Samihot said in the Etyrotic language: "You originally only had the words 'you' and 'he', but because of contact with Duozhou, which pays attention to women's rights, you learned that Duozhou humans are negative and positive, and you began to use 'you' and 'she', but now your feminists are saying that the word 'you' does not allow women to use the word "he", which is to belittle women, and say that you want to abolish this word, right?"

What Samihot said was the real thing, but Xi Ke didn't study this piece, so he still couldn't understand it. Moreover, the pronunciation of "you, he" and "you, she" in the Aitaro language is exactly the same, and listening to Samihot's explanation only makes Xike even more confused. In short, the demon language actually has "I", and the pronunciation of Xi Ke also knows, but other than that, Xi Ke doesn't understand.

"There's another benefit!" Samichott continued, "Because humans know that there is no 'me' in the demon language, so they deliberately don't say Ah, and then learn how to use the 'I' in the language of the workplace, you can create the impression that 'it's the first time for someone to come out to work', win the favor of the owner, and it is as easy to use as a human reconstructive surgery." 」

Rick concluded, "Leave me alone, you can keep talking. 」

"What were we talking about?" Murmurt asked the demons, and the demons shook their heads.

Audat said: "On the measures against the earth. 」

"By the way, we're going to talk about religion and charity!" Morming's eyes widened.

"I think we should propose to the Wabe of Light that the restrictions be lifted. Audat said.

"I'm against it. This may provoke the descendants of Evan Saar. Murmurt said.

I don't know why, at this moment, this group of demons has a serious face, focused on the issue, and looks more like a member of the parliament than those in the Sarafayido Congress.

"Religion and charity must be integrated in order to make the greatest gains. 」

"Then the earthlings won't be able to escape from the palm of our hands, right?" 」

"It doesn't have to be done to that extent, just to the extent that human beings do: to form a charity with a religious call. Don't touch politics!"

"Politics is open to us!" interjected a demon with three horns on its head, "The Staff of Light allows us to manipulate the definition of 'pragmatism,' but it does not allow us to touch the definition of 'piety.'" 」

"You can't do it with politics alone!" said Audat, "only in politics, once you don't do well in power, your true face will be discovered, and you have to combine religion or religion-like complexes, such as ideology, so that no matter what you do, you will not be overthrown." 」

"I admit that religion is the great invention of humanity in Atatamopup, and I think that's why the Wader of Light doesn't allow us to touch it. Samihot said, "Before I came to Earth, I never thought that there would be a regime that could have a large number of ** boys, and also stand tall and guide everyone how to live a good life. 」

"The most remarkable thing is that they don't have to be afraid of being exposed!" said the one-eyed demon, "even if everyone knew about it, they would still be the first to listen to the regime. Only a fraction of the total number of people ran away. 」

The Triangle Demon said, "There are also religion-like ideologies. This is even more powerful, after all, ** boys will not endanger the survival of the whole society, but ideology can be done until every family has members killed, and all still support the great regime!"

If it was a human who said these things now, Xike might not be able to resist killing him. These demons speak of the most cruel and dark part of human history as a great deed.

"I heard that the religion of Duo Chau once reached the realm of ideology. Murmurt said. He was referring to the religious dark period of the island, when the number of people killed by the Holy See was uncountable. The biggest scandal that can be caused by the current Holy See is only covering up the clergy to sexually assault boys, and it cannot prevent the secular courts from locking up their people.

"It sounds like the people of Duozhou understand the true meaning of Atatamoppu better than the people of Inzhou. The Triangle Demon said, "Religion and ideology, this is invincible! They are so smart!"

"One of the most powerful things about them is that they invented a definition of piety which is, 'Believe in God before He proves Him to be God, so that God will work.'" In this way, anything that can become a god with the media, even if it doesn't, is the fault of the believer's ungodliness! They also invented a definition of trust that is, "to give a person the treatment he enjoys when he is trustworthy before the other person proves that he is trustworthy, so that he will strive to be a trustworthy person." In this way, any garbage can immediately enjoy the highest treatment without effort, and even if he betrays the expectations of the world, it is the fault of the society that does not trust him enough, and it has nothing to do with him! If these two ideas are promoted, good people can be squeezed to the end without force. They also use the word 'innocence' to encourage ignorance, which makes it easier to manipulate the public! I really want to see how they do it. I think that's why the mages over there spread rumors that we're like the devil, and they're afraid we'll learn their tricks in the past!"

The demons nodded. Vick silently stuffed the noodles into his mouth.

"Are you far from the point?" asked Murming.

"What were we talking about?" asked Samihot.
