Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2096 The Legend of Dark Cooking Muyan
"Niya, the stone wind restaurant is ahead, I saw the signboard!"

"Well, I saw it too, let's go there now!"

After finishing speaking, Niya took Xia Duo's hand again, wanting to speed up and run over, Xia Duo smiled, and secretly used an acceleration spell, which of course couldn't be hidden from Niya, but Niya didn't expose it, so it was right to A little romance between husband and wife.

……

"There are two guests—"

The dwarf waiter who only reached Xia Duo's waist and was supported by his raised hair, his eyes lit up immediately after seeing Xia Duo and Niya galloping over, shouted into the restaurant with a long voice in poor elf language call.

On the other side, they did not forget to warmly guide Xia Duo and Niya into the restaurant, and at the same time introduced the special food of the restaurant to them rather talkatively:

"I said two guests, you must try the charcoal-grilled bullfrog here when you come to our Stone Wind restaurant. Even the elves in the upper city say it's good! There is also earthy pumpkin soup, which is a combination of the unique flavor of the Underdark and surface food. It's a perfect blend, it's a pity that those long ears can't stand the smell!"

Speaking of this, the dwarf waiter suddenly subconsciously covered his mouth, raised his head and glanced at Xia Duo, seeing that Xia Duo didn't respond, he continued:
"There is also the most famous oriental food platter in our store. It is said that the great king of Elithel has hidden his identity many times to taste it! All the guests who have eaten it say yes! Do you want a piece?"

Xia Duo and Niya looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see what was going on in each other's mind. In fact, food was second to none. The key point was that it was the first time they met such a eloquent dwarf.

This is really inconsistent with the image of the taciturn dwarf in the two people's impressions.

However, the two were not too far from stereotypes that all dwarves must be like that, and it was actually interesting and good to see such a unique dwarf at the moment.

In the end, amidst the chattering sales from the dwarf receptionist, Niya chose a seat in the corner but also facing the street and sat down with Xia Duo, and then said her request to the strange dwarf:

"Serve all the dishes you just mentioned, and let the chef cook with heart, don't fool us casually!"

Hearing this, the dwarf immediately straightened his body and said loudly: "You two are from other places! In the Andalite community, who doesn't know the reputation of our Stone Wind Restaurant, guests, please rest assured that you will be satisfied !"

After finishing speaking, he kept his arms akimbo in this posture for two seconds before turning around and running towards the back kitchen.

Niya was stunned, "Xia Duo, this—"

"Let's take a look first. It's a real skill to be able to write the roll call at the entrance of the underground city!"

Whether it's cooking skills or financial resources, Xia Duo added this sentence in his heart, and then began to carefully look at this exotic restaurant.

But after looking around, he still couldn't help shaking his head. It seemed that there were indeed many exotic features, perhaps the oriental features they claimed, but in the eyes of a truly knowledgeable person, there were too many flaws to count.

The store is filled with a large number of elf features that have been deliberately deformed and adjusted. One or two may not be seen by experts, but such a concentration can make a fool find something wrong.

Perhaps it was in line with Xia Duo's previous judgment—the orientals who crossed over from the main plane had already been assimilated by elves, and the only oriental characteristics they could retain in the end might be the title "Oriental".

Soon, the seven or eight dishes that Niya ordered were delivered one after another, and a bottle of mint cider that was said to be very precious in the upper city was also included as a gift.

After opening it, Xia Duo smelled a faint fragrance, mixed with mint and apple grass, and several unique scents that I couldn't distinguish.

Although there are many types, they do not make people feel awkward at all. Instead, they blend with each other, giving people a different kind of harmony and joy.

This made Xia Duo a little surprised. To be honest, this wine is indeed far from the best elf wine, but it is still much better than the fruit wine brewed by the Tower of Time.

Should it be said that it really deserves to be the capital of Comanthor, or that the brewing process of the Tower of Time is really bad?

Xia Duo's avatar lacked perception, while Niya's astral projection avatar had complete perception. After tasting the complimentary fruit wine, his eyes lit up with joy!

And this also made them look forward to the dishes in the store even more.

"I'll try this big platter first!"

After saying that, Niya started to do it, and skillfully used chopsticks to pick up a piece of pink pastry from the large plate in the center of the dining table and put it into her mouth.

The so-called "Oriental Food Platter" mainly consisted of pasta and pastries. Seeing that Niya had already started, Xia Duo picked up a light yellow pastry with a hint of pickiness.

But after tasting it, he didn't know whether it was the avatar's perception defect or the pastry was really faulty. He felt like he was eating a piece of jelly that was completely tasteless.

After thinking about it, he picked up another piece, and it felt different from before, but it was still tasteless. Finally, he wanted to ask Niya:
"Niya, what do you think?"

Niya hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you want to tell the truth?"

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless for a moment, but he also realized something, and said angrily: "Of course we have to tell the truth, we are husband and wife, how can we have so many scruples."

"Then let me tell you the truth, it's better than the territorial chef Cook~"

After Niya finished speaking, she took another piece of red pastry and put it into her mouth, then said vaguely: "I think the practice of this pastry can be introduced into the territory."

"Okay, I'll try to talk to the owner."

Next, it was the charcoal-grilled bullfrog. Xia Duo put down his chopsticks after taking a sip. Maybe it was a problem with his avatar. He still couldn't taste anything, but there was nothing wrong with the taste.

On the other hand, Niya just took a sip and stopped moving her chopsticks. When Xia Duo asked, she replied: "It's the first time I know that this kind of creature can be eaten. Hurry up and feel weird. The taste is not very outstanding. Compared with I prefer leaping beast meat."

"Yes, me too."

The leaping beast meat is the only meat that Xia Duo has eaten that is delicious even if eaten raw, and no matter which cooking method is used, it will not be too bad.

"Don't try this earthy pumpkin soup, it should be the dark food of the dwarves, and there are indeed stones from the dark region in it!"

Xia Duo used chopsticks to stir the bright yellow pumpkin soup twice, then picked out a dark red stone in front of Niya, and threw it on the table with a dull crashing sound.

Even after seeing the stones in the soup with her own eyes, and the radiant stones from the Underdark, Niya was still eager to try, perhaps because the previous dishes were not too disappointed.

Seeing this, Xia Duo also took a soup spoon, but unlike Niya, he only scooped up a little bit and licked it with his tongue, and suddenly a slight numbness spread all over his body.

As for the taste, still nothing.

So he waited to see Niya's embarrassment, but Niya didn't seem to feel the slight numbness spreading all over her body at all, even after drinking a big spoonful.

"What flavor?"

"Sweet, but not only sweet, but also a very unique taste, as if the sweetness of pumpkin itself has penetrated into the soul, I think if I can't taste it again in the next 100 years, then I will still be able to taste it in 100 years Can recall the taste now!"

Seep into the soul, what kind of nuclear sweet soup is this!
Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Don't drink these soups for now, let me take them home and check them carefully, and give them to you after making sure they are harmless."

"Fine!"

Although Nya was a little disappointed, she couldn't help but feel a little wary of the smell that penetrated into her soul.
