A little swan that is easily pulled into the Shadowless Underworld.

A demiplane passage hidden in St. Louis College.

The legacy of the brave team that once fought the Demon King.

Louis now instinctively has a bit of PTSD.

I hope I won’t fall into Old Silver Coin’s trap again.

The last wave of people who did this were the five big guys from the Supreme Forest, the Amn Empire, the Abyss Church, the Dark Side of the God of Love, and Rudelson! Perhaps sensing Louis's doubts, Beatrice smiled and comforted him:

"Don't worry, my good prince. This will be a thrilling adventure, but it's just an adventure."

"You won't encounter a real crisis. Everything will be within your control if you use your brains."

"When I think about using my brain, I feel itchy in my head,"

Beatrice teased, "It won't be a problem for you and Olivia. Haven't you heard what people outside call you? The wisdom of the empire!"

Louis didn't want to talk and even found it funny.

I always feel that this is not a compliment, and if you say it too much, it will actually lower your IQ.

Full of doubts, Louis prepared to leave.

But when she was leaving, Beatrice did something very excessive.

She grabbed Louis' tail and gently scratched it with her fangs.

Seeing that his body shuddered as if it had been electrified, he slowly let go, smoothed the dimensional bag at the base of his tail, snorted and said:

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry if you ask me to arrange for other girls to enter St. Louis College?"

Louis finally understood why Beatrice had been hesitant since the beginning.

He turned around and said with some amusement:

"If it's because of this, I'll be very happy."

"Um?"

"Because it means that Beatrice is always watching me."

Louis said calmly: "As long as I think about this, I can make up my mind more."

Beatrice pursed her lips and whispered "slippery tongue", but the smile on her face was brighter than the sun.

A little advice: when you clearly want to explain something to your girlfriend, don’t rush to tell her “I’m doing this for your own good”.

First expressing "you are important to me" and then explaining the reason for doing so can greatly ease the quarrels between the two parties caused by communication.

Louis saw that her mood brightened up, and then he continued:

"Grace's matter needs your help to keep it a secret."

He explained to Beatrice the abnormality he had felt since meeting Grace.

According to the contents of the diary, he helped Beatrice review the plans of these forces in the empire in advance.

Only at last did he talk about speculation about Grace's identity.

Beatrice thought for a moment and then said:

"I see. Could she be a candidate for the Saint of the God of Glory?"

She thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If that's the case, your judgment is correct. Instead of letting her grow wildly at Dragon Bone Ranch, it would be better for her to come to us and receive professional training."

"As for the Fallen Shadow Underworld, you can let her participate."

"Although we are not allies with the Church of the God of Glory, we share the same stance when it comes to fighting evil."

…

After leaving the office, Louis rushed to the outer city as fast as he could.

Before leaving, Louis put on his armor again.

He and Alice had agreed to meet at a pub.

It is worth mentioning that this tavern is owned by the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

This is quite funny. Someone has complained about the Meyer Chamber of Commerce to the business office under the City Lord's Mansion.

The reason is that the merchandise sales scope applied by the Meyer Chamber of Commerce to the commercial office does not include beverages and food.

Afterwards, Louis' client investigated which idle guy had reported it to the Commercial Office.

The information we finally found was quite unexpected.

It wasn't the high-end clothing stores whose performance had been damaged as Louis had imagined.

The person who reported him was an old dessert shop near the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

Louis has prepared several plans to tie up the capital's high-end clothing brands.

Before he could even get any show off, he was hit by a stick by a dessert seller.

Louis was puzzled, and later learned from Rom, the actual executor of the Mayer Chamber of Commerce, that this was because the Mayer Chamber of Commerce had touched the cake of the core customers of the old brand.

Meyer's desserts have become popular among the gourmet circles in the capital. I won't say much about things like milk tea and baked milk, which were originally just used to win the favor of customers.

Other dishes such as tiramisu, Italian cheese, affogato, blueberry mojito, filled puffs, waffle honey ice cream platter, etc., were purely because of Louis's greed.

Louis was also a half-gourmet in his previous life. When making travel plans, he would use local famous food streets, old shops or classic specialty sales points as travel coordinates.

He has finally become rich in this life, but if he doesn't find ways to satisfy his appetite, he would not be who he is today.

This was the largest expense that the greedy Louis had incurred to satisfy his personal desires since he came to the Star Continent.

To this end, he used his identity as Mayer and spent money to recruit several dessert chefs.

The purpose is to use them to replicate some of the desserts he had eaten in his previous life.

In fact, breakfast, lunch and dinner in Prince Louis's palace have also been adjusted to a more Chinese style.

There is another meaning to this -

If it is possible, well, just possible, one day in the future, ghosts from my hometown will also float to this land.

I hope that by then, my fellow villagers can taste the familiar taste of their hometown in this strange land.

This way, at least I can dream of returning to my hometown.

By then, my fellow villagers might not feel so lonely anymore.

This is probably what Louis understands as romance.

But now when he thinks back on it, Louis’ expression becomes a little awkward.

In order to satisfy his own appetite, he spent money to train a pastry chef.

Who would have thought that in addition to supplying its own desserts, it also shared some desserts for other customers for free, which almost killed a long-established dessert shop? Could this be a dimensionality reduction attack?

What killed Xiaolingtong was not its peers, but the arrival of the 3G era and the emergence of smart phones.

This tastes just right.

As for how Louis dealt with the incident later? It was simple.

The supply will continue to be supplied.

But the next day, a dessert shop with the same positioning opened opposite the old brand.

You've reported me for operating without a license. So in order to supply desserts to the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, I must have my own dessert shop, right?

Since I already have a dessert shop, it would be okay for me to open a Chinese restaurant as well, right?

By the way, you can also get a hold of the Prince's Palace and let that brat Meyer come out and shout: "These are all the dishes and desserts that Prince Louis likes."

What? You said Mayer is Louis? Just tell me whether Prince Louis likes him or not!

So, due to Louis's arrangement, the good citizens of Tino who originally came here just because of its reputation soon stayed in the dessert shop and refused to leave.

Chinese restaurants were also crowded.

Yes, just yesterday, the Adventurer's Guild sent someone to ask if the Meyer Chamber of Commerce was interested in opening a branch at the Adventurer's Guild's headquarters.

Hi, this approach seems to be feasible.

It's even possible...hiss, is there a chance to use the Adventurer's Guild as a platform to build an intelligence gathering center?

As soon as the idea came to Louis, he kept it in his heart. Perhaps when the Mayer Chamber of Commerce expands to a certain size, this matter can really be put on the agenda.

However, if they want to achieve this, they have to wait until the Meyer Chamber of Commerce expands its territory to Tunisia.

At this time, he was sitting in the private room of his own restaurant with the door open, waiting for Alice to bring people over.

Although Alice looks wild, like a wild cat that likes to bare its teeth at strangers, that is only for her prey.

Like teammates and passers-by, although she is unruly, she is actually quite reliable.

There is even less to worry about for a clean little white flower like Grace.

Although Grace had come with them to the imperial capital last time, Alice was always worried that if she came alone, she might be targeted by someone with bad intentions.

Just in case, she simply went to pick someone up.

Louis' eyes were already on the refreshments that were being served one after another.

Crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, soup dumplings, tripe, black pepper beef ribs...

What’s more, the head chef of this restaurant is the apprentice of the chef of Prince Louis’ palace.

He went to the prince's palace in the identity of Mayer to ask for someone.

Then someone chose to agree as a prince.

The main point is to transfer from left hand to right hand.

As he thought about it, Louis felt something was wrong.

"No, Alice, what are you doing? Why haven't you come here for so long?"

Louis looked at the tea that was almost cold.

Even if he was popular, he couldn't stand the temperature in Tino City in winter.

If it continues like this, it will become a lump.

Just as he was wondering with great pain whether he should order a new set of dishes, his ears moved and he turned his head to look at a man who was staring at him outside the box.

He was wearing armor that looked a bit cheap, and had an ugly-looking cylindrical helmet tucked under his armpit.

——To be honest, at first glance he thought he was holding a bucket.

The two looked at each other, staring at each other, which looked a little funny.

Louis was silent for a while, then tentatively asked, "Want to eat?"

The man said a little embarrassedly: "I just think that waste is shameful. If you plan to throw it away, why not let me help you digest it."

Louis nodded and said, "Then come in and eat together. My companions are late. It's a pity to leave it to get cold in the middle of winter."

——And it really hurts!

This is his own property. Any waste or loss of the small amount of money will be his fault.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to just invite people to eat, at least it can ease the heartache a little.

Louis saw that the man was covered in dust and had a sparse and messy beard on his face, but his bright eyes left a good impression on him.

The adventurer was not afraid of trouble either. He came over carelessly, patted his dusty cloak and sat down.

“Thank you for the delicious food, my good brother.”

Louis saw that this man was quite humorous, so he joked: "I thought you would say thank God for the delicious food."

The adventurer smiled and said, "This is a crystal formed by the sweat of human hands. It has nothing to do with God."

Louis nodded and said, "It seems like you don't believe in God?"

The adventurer showed a look of surprise:

"Do I look like an unbeliever? I consider myself to be quite religious."

Louis said nothing more. Even on Blue Star, the issue of faith was not an easy topic to discuss.

Just look at the country where Cairo is located and the conflict between the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious group based on the Sunni Islamic tradition, and the military regime.

Even on the Blue Planet where no gods have appeared, conflicts of faith can break out all over the world. In the star continent where gods exist, the situation will only be more serious.

So he quietly changed the subject: "Where are you from, brother? You look tired and exhausted."

The adventurer slapped his head and laughed:

"Sorry, sorry, I've been running for too long and my mind is a little confused."

He wiped his gauntlets on his cloak with all his strength, then reached out and said, "Aaron Owen, a Rockhi, a follower of the Eternal Sun, and a passing adventurer."

Louis also extended his hand and shook it, saying:

"Gaius Julius Caesar, an ordinary adventurer of the Moonlit Cat Group."

Aaron patted his breastplate and said:

“It’s a blessing to be able to eat such unique food in a foreign country, but it doesn’t look like Tino’s food.”

Louis nodded and said, "This is a dish from my hometown..."

After saying this, he realized that he was not acting as Mayer.

But then he thought again, this guy looks like an ordinary adventurer, so it wouldn't be a big problem if he let the cat out of the bag.

But he quickly changed the subject: "It's great that I can satisfy you."

Aaron desperately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm already grateful that you're willing to share with me."

"I'm just a little curious."

Louis looked up: "Huh?"

Aaron said, "I see you don't need this little money, so it shouldn't be a problem to exchange these things, right?"

"How can there be no problem? There are huge problems. We are losing money, not to mention..."

Louis pointed to the mountains in the distance:

"Do you know where that is?"

Aaron looked up and glanced: "Smoky Mountains, what's wrong?"

Louis said, "From here, the straight-line distance is about a hundred miles to the largest mountain range in Enther, the Smoky Mountains."

"The sea breeze from the Falling Star Sea is blocked by the Smoky Mountains, and the evaporating water vapor turns into rain to nourish this land."

“This unique landform endows the Dragon Bone Grassland at the foot of the Smoky Mountains with abundant rainfall.”

“The grass thrives on the grasslands, feeding the livestock on the farms.”

"Wheat grew in the fields and became the staple food of Tino City."

"Brother Aaron, 7.6 million people are crowded in this not-so-big city. Even with the excellent environment of Dragon Bone Grassland, it is impossible to support so many people."

"The entire imperial capital still needs a large amount of food to flow in from other places or even foreign countries every year."

"And in more distant places, there are still many people who are starving."

"It has taken so many generations to feed everyone, it's a shame to just throw it away like this."

Louis' expression was calm as he told Aaron a story.

The story of an old man and his dream of enjoying the cool breeze under the rice plants.

Aaron listened carefully.

Louis slowly stuffed the last soup dumpling into his mouth, and Aaron said, "Thank you for the food, and thank you for your story."

"Been taught a lesson."

"Mr. Caesar, may the light of the eternal sun always shine upon you."
