Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 54 Adaptive Table
"Stop!" Alan gasped in fright, and quickly stopped.
But Riel ignored him completely, and he only had one thought in his head now, until the table was full......
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Alan quickly stood up and grabbed the right hand of Riel, who was still frantically ordering.
Riel was still excited, and shook off Allen's hand: "Why are you stopping me, just order a gold coin!"
Ian, who was next to Rare, had to come to his aid, grabbing his arm and finally stopping him.
Riel looked at them with a confused expression, and still didn't give up: "What do you two want to do? It's hard to come across such a good thing, you can't let this money go to waste, right?"
"Look closely!" Alan said, gesturing to the words on the foot of the table, "You'll have to pay ten times the price for what you haven't eaten!"
As soon as Riel heard this, his heart instantly became cold, and his hand froze in mid-air. He stared at the foot of the table on his side for a long time, then slowly raised his head and looked at Alan with a look of despair, as if he was about to cry.
"This ...... What to do, Alan ......" Rare's excitement vanished without a trace, and he couldn't even speak loudly.
Alan was also speechless, and Nunu motioned for him to count how many things he had ordered.
Riel then lifted his trembling fingers and carefully counted the dense plates on the table......
"One, two, three, four, five...... Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine!" I don't know, even Riel himself was stunned after ordering...... Before Alan and Ian stopped him, he had already ordered thirty-nine dishes...... Even if he has a good appetite, he will never be able to finish it!
Then he took a cursory look at the price at the back of each dish, which was basically between two silver coins and five silver coins, multiplied by ten, and then converted according to the ratio of gold and silver coins to ten to ten...... How much?' Riel's mind was in a state of confusion, and he didn't dare to calculate how much his meal would cost, just looking at Alan helplessly.
"Thirty-nine plates!oh my God, how fast are your hands!" Alan was also stupefied.
"What to do, Alan......" Rare asked in a whisper.
"Alas......" Alan sighed and said, "what else can I do...... Eat as much as you can!"
After speaking, he lowered his head and stopped talking, and began to eat.
At this time, the people at the nearby table also heard the movement here, and when they looked at them, they found that there was a large table of food in front of these four people, and they all laughed.
Riel's face was flushed with shame, and he didn't dare to look up.
The four of them were not in the mood to chat, they all just kept their heads down and ate as much as they could. After about half an hour, the food on the table finally seemed to be less, but there were still about a dozen plates left.
"I've tried my best, I can't eat it anymore!" said Riel, clutching his stomach, and it didn't seem like he was holding it out.
"How much more are we going to pay?" asked Riel.
"I'll do the math......" Alan had already stopped.
He counted that if he didn't count the plate that Ian was eating, there were thirteen plates left, and each plate would pay a full three hundred and ninety silver coins based on a rough average price of three silver coins...... Converted to gold, it's thirty-nine, and if you do the math, it's probably more than that!
More than Mr. Connor's salary in a month!Riel was also frightened by this number, and said to Alan with a trembling voice: "Hey, I said, how about we just throw it away and leave quietly...... He raised his eyes and looked at the people around him, swallowed his saliva and said, "Anyway, the people who were sitting around just now are already gone, and no one will notice us now." ”
However, before Alan could say anything against it, the chair Riel was sitting in had already reacted...... As soon as he said these words, the chair seemed to have ears, and several tentacles-like things protruded from the back of the chair, tying Riel tightly to the chair!
At this time, Riel was really anxious, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, I'm just joking!
Yes, it seems that you can't run away, so let's admit it obediently...... Alan touched his pocket, although the savings left for him before his parents left him were not small, but he definitely couldn't afford to toss so much, and he was still a little distressed when he threw it in so much at once......
But at this moment, Ian, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth and said vaguely: "Wait a minute!"
Eren looked up at him and saw that his mouth was stuffed with food and he was chewing slowly. It turned out that he hadn't spoken just now, he was eating non-stop, and there were thirteen plates left on the table, but now there were only nine plates left!
As if suddenly seeing hope, Alan sat down with wide eyes and stopped talking, silently watching Ian eat plate after plate little by little......
Alan was a little surprised and a little amused, because he had always felt that Riel had eaten too much, and he often made fun of him for it, but one day, a person with a bigger meal would help them out of their predicament in this way!
Ian ate one bite at a time, silently, until there were still two plates left on the table.
"Sorry, sorry, I...... I can't eat it anymore......" Ian said as he burped.
"No, no, no, you've done us a great favor!" said Allen, with an excited face, because the remaining two plates together are worth five silver coins, and even if they are ten times the price, they are only half a gold coin. Compared to the previous thirty-nine gold coins, this is simply insignificant!
"Have you always been able to eat like this?" asked Riel.
"Hmm...... Our family eats a lot of food, especially Ivan, who has a better appetite than mine, but because the family has few financial resources, it is not uncommon for him to not have enough to eat...... That's why I often give half of my share to Ivan. "Well, it's the first time I've had such a big lunch...... Thank you!"
"We should thank you, thanks to you, otherwise today's meal would have cost him a month's salary!" Allen said with a smile.
"Uh...... Ha ha. Ian also had a rare laugh.
After paying the money that should have been paid, the four of them left the table without incident, and this time there was no more tentacle-like thing stopping them.
"And where are we going next?" asked Riel as he walked to the door of the restaurant and looked at the clock on the wall. It's not yet one o'clock in the afternoon.
"If you have anything else to do, go first, I've eaten too much and don't want to move. In the afternoon, there is also a magic test, so I have to go to the square in advance and wait. Ian said.
"Well, okay then. In the morning, we went to the general class hall and the place where the elemental department was classed, and heard from our grade chief that the space-time department and the medical department classrooms were in the tower on the other side, and since the layout was exactly the same, there was no need to go again. Alan said, "I'd like to go to the place where the Enchantment Department is in class this afternoon. ”
"Have fun, then!" said Ian, saying goodbye to Alan and the others, and returned to the square alone to wait.
"But how do we get there? The three of us don't know where the enchantment classroom is. Ian asked as soon as she left.
"It's not a big problem, you just have to try to get rid of the impossible places. Allen said.
"Impossible?"
"Hmm...... As you can see, we've been to the northwest, central, west, and east of this school, with the school gate to the south and the beech grove on both sides of the gate, so what's the only place we haven't been?"
"Uh......" Riel was a little dizzy when he heard this question, he wasn't too sensitive to directions, it was okay if it was a place he often visited, such a strange place, not to mention that he had a basic impression of this castle in his heart, he couldn't even tell the difference between east and west, north and south.
"Northeast?" asked Alyssa.
"That's right, if nothing else, I guess the rest of the enchantment classroom should be in the northeast of this castle. ”
Having seen Eren accurately guess Ivan's location today, Riel and Alyssa are now convinced of Elan's reasoning. So the three of them immediately set out for the northeastern part of the castle.
They came out of the side door on the north side of the cafeteria and found that there was another building in front of them, which was the school hospital building. Standing on the path between the campus hospital and the cafeteria, they looked to the left and had a clear view of the Four Seasons Garden. They walked a few steps west along the path, and found that the road was indeed connected to the Four Seasons Garden, and to the north of the school hospital, there was a northwest-southeast building, which Alyssa recognized, which was the dormitory of their girls.
"It seems that when I go to class in the future, this road is the closest to go. Allen said.
"Hmm. Alyssa replied softly.
They walked east along the path and found that the general classroom hall and the twin spires were to the southeast of them, and diagonally opposite them was the school cafeteria, and on both sides of the road were tall sycamores.
However, the northeast part of the country where they were going seemed to be very low, and they could not see anything at first glance.
Alan felt a little strange in his heart, and thought to himself, it stands to reason that there should be a building similar to the general classroom hall here. He walked briskly to that side, and when he got closer, he realized that there were more than a dozen narrow steps, leading down to a small open field, but Alan glanced below, and there was nothing.
In front of the steps was a small fence gate, rusted, and Alan pushed it to find that it was unlocked.
This is even more strange, why make so many steps here when there is nothing, and get a door here?" Alan thought as he walked down the steps.
Rare and Alyssa followed.
But there was really nothing down there, and he reached the edge of the open field, where he was stopped by a stone fence, for beyond that was a cliff. Alan looked ahead, and saw that the cliff on the other side was very high and strange, and the cliff facing them looked neat, as if it had been cut in half by something sharp at once, and below this was the valley that Mr. Winslow had repeatedly warned the students not to enter. However, due to the lush vegetation below, he could not see the inside of the valley.
Alan was a little puzzled, many places in this school were strange enough, but I didn't expect it to be even stranger here.
Just as he was muttering alone, Riel's voice came from behind, "Alan, come here, come and see here!"
Alan turned around to find Rare and Alyssa standing near the steps, and on the wall next to them there was a low doorway, with a fence door tightly locked, and the inside of the door was pitch black.
Alan walked over quickly, trying to get a clear look inside, but before he could reach near the door, he heard a gloomy voice coming from the door: "Oh, hehehe, I really didn't expect anyone to come here, I waited for a long time, and finally came...... You're still the first people to be here in a year......" and a pair of shriveled hands reached out from inside and pressed against the doorframe, "Welcome to the dungeon!"
