Chapter 41 Seven Days Later, Food Market
Outside of Bed City, a carriage with the Adventurer's Guild emblem hanging on it fell from the sky.
The Pegasus folded its wings, and when the car body came to a complete stop, the driver ran over and opened the door.
“You’re here so soon?”
Along with the old but spirited voice, an old man with elegant clothes and thick gray hair like a lion's mane got off the carriage. He had the aura of a gangster who was intimidating without even getting angry. He took out his gold pocket watch, took a look at it, and said:
"We are two hours earlier than expected. I guess the guild isn't ready for the welcome ceremony yet. Let's go take a look at the city first. I heard a lot of interesting things happened recently."
"Mr. Sid, I think, uh. I think we should go first, uh. We should go and meet with the local guild first,"
Then a woman with good temperament and ability walked out of the carriage, no, crawled out. She was pale and couldn't help dry-heaving from time to time.
"After all, your identity, ugh."
The old man named Sid said with a straight face: "Gina, as my assistant, you actually get carsick. This is really ungraceful. I order you to rest in the car."
"Isn't it because you insist on speeding?" Gina finally climbed out, vomited for a while while holding on to a big tree, and barely supported herself to follow.
She was worried about letting the old man act on his own, as he might cause some trouble.
As soon as the two entered Bed City, they felt a different kind of vitality.
Adventurers of various clothing and races were flowing in an endless stream. There were figures carrying weapons on every street. When there were too many people, there was bound to be noise. In order to attract customers, the shops along the street used magic speakers to play advertisements loudly in a loop, so that if you wanted to talk to your companions on the street, you had to shout loudly.
Most people seem to be walking in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry to do something. Are they going to work?
No, definitely not going to work.
Sid keenly noticed that there was desire and hope in these people's eyes, and there were even smiles on their lips. It was obvious that what they were about to do was full of fun.
So it is definitely impossible to go to work!
"Were there so many people here before?" Sid's mouth did not move, but his voice appeared in Gina's mind.
"According to the report received by the headquarters, since the incident in the Thane Dungeon, the number of adventurers who stayed in Bed City for more than three days has nearly doubled, and this number is still growing rapidly."
Gina flipped through the notebook in her hand.
"Especially a week ago, a hidden area called 'food paradise' by adventurers was discovered. Merchants from all over the country smelled business opportunities and rushed here non-stop."
"A week ago." Sid stroked his gray beard.
"Count Philip, who manages the city of Bed, has converted a commercial street into a specialty market that is a food paradise. Would you like to take a look?" Gina suggested. In fact, she was also very interested in the so-called specialties.
"Earl Philip's business acumen is as high as ever. He has completed such a big project in just a few days," Sid sighed and said, "Let's go and take a look at the so-called market."
As soon as they arrived at the food market, the two stopped.
Because a huge creature emitting a scorching breath was hung upside down on a wooden stake at the entrance of the market, no one entering the market could ignore its existence.
It was a roasted whole pig. Its body was very large compared to other pigs of the same kind. It had obviously been dead for a long time, but it still emitted heat and a rich aroma!
Anyone who enters the market will first be shocked by the huge objects, and then smell the rich aroma of meat. When they go to find the source of the meat aroma, they will clearly understand the true meaning of this market and the food paradise!
"Was the pig roasted after it was killed, or was it cooked from the beginning?" Gina's eyes widened and she murmured.
Sid took a few steps closer and was immediately stopped by someone who looked like a manager. However, after seeing that he was well-dressed and must be some important person, the manager politely said, "This is not for sale, it's just for display. If you want to taste it, please go to the stall inside."
Sid nodded and pointed at the roasted whole pig and asked, "Which chef is this? He is able to roast such a large ingredient to perfection. I really want to visit him."
The manager immediately perked up and explained with a beaming expression, "Sir, you are new here, right? No wonder you didn't know this giant pig. It actually hasn't been cooked by any chef!"
Sid frowned in confusion.
The manager has seen a lot of similar reactions these days, but every time he explains it, he feels superior. Look, I know much more than you!
"It was born cooked from the womb!"
Born cooked from the womb?
After walking a long way, Sid still didn't understand what this sentence meant.
If a creature is cooked from birth, how can it live? It is not an elemental creature.
"Sir, look over there," Gina's voice woke him up from his reverie, and his assistant said excitedly, "They are all things I have never seen before."
Something you haven't seen before?
I grew up in the royal city of Roald, and there is nothing I haven't seen!
Sid looked at the vendors on both sides of the street with a little disdain, and then he froze.
Fish with octopus legs, trees with roasted meat on the bone, willows with soba branches, lobsters that shine like gems
Oh no, he has never seen these before.
He scanned the area, trying to find even one ingredient he had seen before, and lo and behold, he found it!
A pastry shop was selling sponge cakes, finally something he had seen before.
There's no way sponge cake has anything to do with monsters, right?
Sid walked into the snack shop and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Because there was a dead body of a lion monster hanging in the snack shop!
The fat boss was using a sharp knife to cut the lion's mane. The mane was strangely square and seemed to be as elastic as a sponge.
Isn't that just sponge cake!
He looked at the sponge cakes on the counter and his mouth twitched. It turned out that these cakes were cut from lions.
"Hey, would you like something?" The boss noticed him and greeted him warmly.
"I just looked around,"
Sid left in a hurry. Actually, he really wanted to taste it, but it was a bit embarrassing.
"Sir, please try this,"
Gina suddenly brought out two skewers of fried food covered in batter that looked like potatoes.
"Potatoes? No, it smells more like..."
Sid took it and tasted it, his eyes widened immediately "Schnitzel?"
It is indeed a cutlet, and both the texture and taste are like the high-quality cutlet made by a famous chef.
"I thought it was a steak at first, but," Gina said as she ate, "it's actually a potato. I saw the boss pull it out of the soil with my own eyes, and it was fried right after it was pulled out. It's amazing."
Sid looked at the potato pork chop in his hand and felt that his worldview was collapsing bit by bit.
Even the most hybrid alchemists could not come up with such a wonderful combination.
And these things all come from the Sen Dungeon?
The two of them ate while walking around. Although the market was built in a hurry, it had all the facilities. In addition, the things sold by each merchant were more or less different, so walking around made people feel like they couldn't stop.
At this time, Sid suddenly found a stall that was different from the others, because all the other stalls were full of things, but this stall was empty, with only a tightly packed box.
The boss looked like a young man, with his hands behind his back and looking sleepy. He had an unusual appearance, with black hair and black eyes, which was not common.
His interest was piqued, so he walked up and asked, "Boss, what are you selling?"
"Um,"
Gong Qiying rubbed his eyes, looked up at Xi De, and said:
"Rainbow fruit, only a small piece,"
He added:
"It's very expensive, do you want to buy it?"
Seeking some investment~
