Chapter 112 The Priest with a Heavy Taste
The priest took a small bite, and instantly, the sour and spicy flavor burst in his mouth.
The amazing taste made him squint his eyes and enjoy this unprecedented sensory experience.
Although he wasn't used to it at first, he was quickly drawn to its unique flavor.
Finally, he couldn't resist and started eating it in big bites, making "slurping" noises as he ate.
This made Atlas, who was intently selecting potato chips, look in his direction.
He saw his priest constantly eating a small packet of things that looked like animal claws, while making strange noises, which confused him.
However, soon, as he watched his priest engrossed in eating, his own saliva began to trickle from his mouth.
While their kingdom doesn't often eat things like animal claws, they don't reject them either.
So seeing the priest enjoying his food, he couldn't resist and, taking advantage of the priest's inattention, quickly reached into his bag and took out a small packet.
Lord Priest: "..."
Only Atlas would dare to snatch food from a tiger's mouth without getting beaten up. Oh well, he bought it anyway.
After consoling himself, the priest became hopelessly addicted to the sour and spicy flavors.
Delicious! So delicious! He really loves this taste. He decides that when he gets back, he'll browse through his treasures and then exchange some more with the envoy.
Meanwhile, Atlas, seeing that his priest had no reaction, quietly took out the small bag of spicy and sour chicken feet that he had just stolen.
After looking at it carefully for a while, I couldn't see anything unusual, but the taste was indeed very peculiar.
Moreover, it looked soft, as if the bones inside the claws had been removed, which made him even more curious.
Because they are all descendants of the sea god, their daily diet consists mostly of fish and shrimp from the sea.
However, they also eat other things, not just things from the sea, but also things from land.
Although the food was plentiful, the cooking methods were rather simple, mostly roasting and steaming. This was the first time he had ever smelled such a rich variety of aromas.
After sniffing it carefully for a moment, he took a big bite. The next instant, a sour, spicy, and slightly fruity flavor swept over his tongue.
There was a faint, slightly tingling sensation, and the animal's claws were also very crisp and crunchy, with a very good texture.
The sizzling sound made Atlas a little tipsy. After swallowing the delicious food in his mouth, he wanted to take another bite, but he found that the small bag he was holding was now empty.
Nothing? Nothing more?
Atlas looked at the empty bag, his eyes darting to the priest beside him, but the priest who had been following him was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xinyan and the other three were both amused and exasperated. When they first met them, they thought these people were quite composed.
But at this moment, he's acting like a spoiled child, throwing a tantrum for a bite to eat, which is quite amusing.
What's even funnier is that the priest, who was enjoying his meal, immediately ran away after seeing Atlas's blissful expression.
Before leaving, he told them he would come back later, and then he ran off towards the castle.
So when Atlas finished eating, he was all alone. Seeing his blank and somewhat bewildered expression, Gu Xinyan chuckled and stepped forward to explain:
"Your Majesty, the High Priest has already returned. He said he will come back later!"
Atlas: "..."
That cunning man! Humph! He only ate a bag of claws, and he ran away so fast!
No, he needs to go back quickly too, then he can come back and buy more things.
"Gentlemen, Atlas will take his leave now and will return later. There will be a banquet at the palace tonight, and I will send someone to fetch you then!"
After Atlas finished speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered that he hadn't bought the potato chips yet. So he hurriedly turned back, grabbed two small bags of chips from the nearest shelf, and then left in a hurry.
The officials who had just finished shopping quickly bid farewell to Gu Xinyan and the others after seeing that their king and priest had left.
After seeing the group off, Gu Xinyan noticed a crowd of people gathered not far away. Although they were chatting in pairs, their curious gazes were fixed on their shop. So she smiled and went up to greet them:
"You all don't need to look over there anymore. This is a shop, and we sell some rare items. You can come in and take a look, whether you buy anything or not is up to you."
The crowd watching from a distance, upon hearing this, were all eager to make a move, but were afraid of disturbing the important person.
After all, judging from the attitude of the king and the high priest towards these people, they must be important figures whom the king and the high priest could not afford to offend.
Moreover, since the nobleman had simply waved his hand and created such a large house, they dared not easily go over to disturb him.
Although most people were cautious and dared not take the first step, some were bolder and, after hearing Gu Xinyan's words, could not suppress their curiosity and headed towards the magical shop that had suddenly appeared.
"This room is so beautiful! I wonder how they made the glass; it's so clear that you can see everything inside so clearly!"
Luna, who was the first to bravely walk over, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when she saw the transparent glass wall.
Although they also have glass here, none of it is as clear and bright as this; their glass is all somewhat blurry.
But soon, her attention was drawn to something else.
"Wow! That thing glows! It's so bright! If it were at night, it would light up the whole room!"
"Nana, come over here! There are so many flowers here, they're so pretty! This is a rose, this is jasmine, and this is... wait! What's this? Nana, come here! There's a flower here that we don't have here! It's so beautiful!"
As Luna was looking at the light above her head, she heard her friend's exclamation.
But after she heard what her friend said, her eyes widened, and in the next instant, she ran towards her friend.
