Chapter 80 Magical State and Heidi's Restaurant

Jiang You: “.”

Her expression was too obvious. The three magicians smiled sheepishly and said shamelessly, "It's on the way, on the way. Going to the capital and returning to the magic academy are both on the same route. Our departure times are also around the same, so why not just go together? If we're lucky, we can even have lunch together."

——This “good luck” refers to you three, right?

The three teams joined together and suddenly looked mighty, but the knights in front didn't care.

Andre hadn't released his magical creature form for a long time. He ran around in the mountains and forests in the early morning and caught a few rabbits. He was in a particularly good mood.

The magical form, referred to simply as the 'magical state' or 'mythic state', also known as the 'gift of the Moon Goddess', occurs randomly only in the bloodline of kings, high priests, and their offspring blessed by the Moon Goddess. Those gifted with the 'magical state' will briefly transform into a magical creature never before seen on the third day of their birth. Simultaneously, the Moon Goddess will reveal the specific name of their child's magical form to their parents in a dream, preventing them from panicking and viewing this gift as a curse or illness.

As the direct descendant of the high priest and the king, Andre has double BUFF and naturally received this gift.

Those who possessed magical creature forms were still considered human, but they possessed greater strength, more prominent magical talents, and a longer lifespan. They could also freely transform into their own magical creature forms to carry out their activities. The magical creature forms were a manifestation of their subconscious, so when the recipient lived in human form, they would occasionally exhibit preferences and personalities consistent with the habits of magical creatures.

Compared to his father's handsome and mother's beautiful magical forms, Andre's magical form wasn't particularly special. It was just a big black dog with one pointed ear standing upright and a long, thin tail. Whenever he blended into a group of dogs, no one would recognize him as some kind of magical creature.

As a child, Andrei developed some resentment and inferiority towards his magical form, and usually kept it hidden. It was not until he was enlightened by Count Saka that he gradually reconciled with himself and accepted the dog's magical form.

But even if he accepted it, the unknown big black dog would easily become a killer weapon for lurking and tracking. After Andre thought about this, he still hid his magical form. Apart from his closest family members, even Winston knew nothing about it.

Only in such a wilderness can he freely and wantonly vent his excessive energy.

The rabbits caught in the morning and the food won from the hunters yesterday were tied to the feet with hemp ropes and hung on the horses. When we set up camp today, we can use the small bones to cook and eat.

Andre couldn't help licking his lips and began to look forward to today's meal.

The team expanded, and with the addition of an anorexic patient who was prone to motion sickness, they walked even slower. They had eaten breakfast late in the morning, so they didn't plan to stop for lunch and just ate some dry food in the carriage.

During the break, the housekeeper used magic to boil water under the guidance of Jiangyou, and successfully brewed lotus root powder for Heidi to have a delicious meal.

The sweet and sour lotus root starch, rich in dried fruits and nuts, effectively alleviated Heidi's motion sickness and nausea. Furthermore, having eaten normally for two consecutive meals, her mindset had shifted, and Heidi felt much more energetic today. Her complexion even looked a bit rosier. She even got into Jiangyou's car, and the two of them engaged in a chattering conversation.

"This isn't my first time in the capital," Heidi said. She felt much better today, but she still had to take a breath after speaking a few words. "When I came here before, I didn't have this disease..."

"Can you tell me about the capital?" Even with Andre's introduction, Jiang You was still curious about the capital. "This is my first time there."

Heidi nodded and slowly recounted her impressions of the capital. As a girl from another place who had come to the capital, Jiangyou felt as if she could see this charming capital through Heidi's eyes.

"The capital is the most prosperous place I've ever seen," Heidi said. "It has the largest moon-worshipping church in the country. Every night when the moon is red, you can see the amazing spectacle of silver wolves worshipping the moon."

Jiang You: "?" Wait, what wolf? What moon worship?

The image of countless huskies howling at the moon flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt that this state religion was somewhat different from her original impression?

"Commerce is also very prosperous. Crystals from the north, spices from the south, ironware and horses from the west, cloth from the east...any commodity you desire can be purchased here. No matter what fantastic ideas you have, the talented people here can make them come true for you.

"If you have any questions you'd like answered, you can find them here: intelligence dealers, black market doctors, magicians, archaeologists, and even astrologers... all roam the dark alleys of the royal capital. However, it's up to you to judge whether the answers they provide are trustworthy."

These statements were quite similar to Andre's introduction. Jiangyou had already heard of them and was not surprised.

"The capital is large, but public security appears to be excellent. The city is patrolled daily by the Royal Knights, affiliated with His Majesty the King. However, the man accompanying you exudes the bearing of a knight, so I doubt you'll be worried about that. Honestly, the most terrifying aspect of the capital lies in the human heart and the gossip." Heidi was quite observant, and she smiled. "As for the food, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. While the capital has a wide variety of ingredients, I find the dishes prepared by the chefs there to be even one percent as delicious as yours."

"Eh...?" Jiang You was a little happy but also a little disappointed. "I wanted to try the food in the capital, but after traveling here, I still have to cook for myself?"

This is the downside of coming to the medieval world where the food industry was underdeveloped... But from another perspective, business opportunities seem to have increased.

"Master You, with all due respect, but what is the reason for your trip to the capital...?"

"Oh, nothing important. Just traveling, eating out, and looking for business opportunities." Jiang You said, "I'll also see if Wangdu has any ingredients I like."

"If that's the case..." Heidi pondered for a moment and took out a silver card from her pocket: "Why don't you go to this restaurant and take a look?"

Jiang You: “?”

She took the card, touched it, and her soul fire trembled: "Is this a real business card made of silver?"

Heidi smiled and nodded. "Yes, a small investment to attract customers. To be honest, this restaurant is my business."
