In this international city on the other side of the earth, unlike the one half of the world, it is already evening. The night market here is very lively, with crowds coming and going, and various special food stalls have started their business all night. They have fried shrimp noodles, barbecue kebabs, wontons and wontons, etc. As long as it is an oriental delicacy, you can basically find something that satisfies you here.
Anne is now standing in front of a barbecue stall and swallowing hard. Her teleportation spell just now spans half of the earth to teleport here. This eastern metropolis, at the end of the street in front, is a mage tower, which is the temple in the mouths of those mages.
Now, the temple has begun to collapse, and a group of wizards are fighting there! Anne originally wanted to go over and help, but when she walked to a stall of a kebab, she decided not to pay attention to them for the time being and let them fight for a while. It should be no big deal. Anyway, they have been fighting for so long, so they won’t die if they wait for a while!
The aroma of this kebab was so attractive to her. The strong fragrance made her unable to walk at all. She could argue for fighting and other things! Maybe she could buy a few skewers while eating them while watching them fight? That's right! That's it! Anne, who was conquered by the fragrance, made a decision immediately.
In the stall in front of Annie, a shirtless middle-aged man with a meaty face was busy in front of the hot charcoal stove. Skewers of meat still in the barbecue were lined up in neat rows on the racks, grilled by the high-temperature charcoal fire. The man was focused on watching the heat while sprinkling various seasonings on the skewers. After the spices were mixed into the skewers, they were baked at high temperatures and began to emit a charming fragrance.
"Uncle! Uncle! How do you sell these skewers?" It was the taste! Annie's eyes lit up, and while sucking her nose hard, she quickly asked about the price. She could not wait to taste it.
"Uh? Oh! Hello, kid! There are three types here: pork skewers are 5 Hong Kong dollars per skewers, beef skewers are 10 Hong Kong dollars, and 15 Hong Kong dollars a skewers! How much do you want?" The big man didn't notice Anne just now. After all, her height is just a little taller than his stall, so it's normal not to notice it.
"Hong Kong dollars? I don't..." Annie stood on tiptoe and looked at the grilled skewers, unable to help swallowing.
"If you have RMB, it's OK." The big man thought that this little girl was here to travel, and it was normal for her to have no HKD.
"No..." She didn't have either of the two currencies that this person just mentioned.
Anne suddenly felt that these earthlings were so hateful. Why do they still have so many kinds of currencies? And they could just use some colorful paper printed materials as money? They Valorand directly took gold or silver coins, so that they could be circulated and used everywhere, which would not be as troublesome as the earthlings did!
"Little kid, if you don't have money, I can't do anything about it! Where is your family? Maybe you can ask them for some money?"
The middle-aged man thought Annie sneaked over while her family was not paying attention, so he suggested to Annie and looked around, hoping to see the foreign parents of the blonde girl, and then fool them into buying some for the little girl in his not very fluent English. Then he will be officially opened today.
"Hmph! My family is not here!" It's okay if he didn't mention this, but Annie became angry when she mentioned it.
Her family is still in Valorand. The reason she came to this eastern city was to find the mages of Kama Taj to ask for knowledge of space magic. But how could she have thought that they had started an internal strife first? She was still at a loss now, and she didn't know which side to help first?
"Hey! Look, I don't have RMB, nor the Hong Kong dollar you mentioned. I only have this one! Just tell me whether you want to sell it or not!" Annie angrily handed over a brand new gray-green hundred-dollar bill. This was prepared by Colson earlier to prevent her random use of gold coins and she now has several stacks in her space pocket.
"Is this? Hiss...! US dollar bill?" The man saw the little girl handing over a banknote, so he had to stop the work at hand, and then took it curiously. After he took a look, he was so scared that he took a breath of air conditioning. This is US dollar bill... Look, the touch should be a real guy!
"Hey! Have you seen enough? Can you buy your meat skewers?" This person was so strange. He was just a banknote, so why did you do it for so long? Annie was already very impatient. Now she was giving money. If he didn't sell it, don't blame her for robbing it!
"Ah? Oh! Yes! Of course, it's OK, there's no problem at all!" Hearing the little girl's urging, the big man reacted, then stuffed the coins into his small pocket of the apron as quickly as possible, and reached out to grab a handful of the already grilled meat kebabs, and stuffed them into the little girl's hand without saying a word.!
"Here! Now these are all yours. Eat whatever you want and let go!" After stuffing the skewers into the little girl's injury, the man was so happy that his mouth was slighted.
Not only did he open today, he also made a lot of money. He had never thought about finding money. After a while, after the little girl ate all the meat skewers on her hand, even if her parents turned around to settle the score, he would deny it! Anyway, the little girl had eaten a lot of food, and he insisted that she had eaten 100 dollars, and he would have no choice but to do anything to him.
"Woooo~! So Chi, so Chi!" After getting the meat skewers he wanted, Annie flashed to the roof of a building while no one was paying attention. She sat on the edge of the balcony, swaying her feet, and stuffing barbecue into her mouth hard, while staring at the two and a half-barrel mages in the street below fighting against the fire.
"Wow~! Tibers, look, they are so inferior. Do the mages here like melee?" Anne began to comment on the battles that were fighting below while gnawing on the skewers. Has no one told them that this was wrong?
"A good mage can make them learn to be wrong. Really, cut it~!" Annie shook her head disdainfully and threw down another ate bamboo stick. As for whether it would hit the two groups of people fighting below, she didn't care.
Huh? Just as Anne was planning to continue eating, she found that the whole world had begun to pause. Time was stopped. How could this be possible? Then she also found that a purely dark world was coming to Earth above the sky, or to put it more accurately, it should be that she was planning to devour the Earth?
"Tibers! Do you think we should take action?" Anne asked Tibers while eating the meat skewers. Of course, Anne could recognize the dark world above. It was very similar to the shadow world of Tibers, the bear, but it was a little different.
Master! There is a chaotic and evil deformed shadow creature that survives by devouring different origins of the world. There are many such things in the shadow world! But there has never been a single one that grows as big as it, so how many worlds it has to devour? Although its level is only at the level of the pseudo-god, its body is too huge! There is too much energy that can be used, and I suggest you not to take action easily.
"If you don't take action? Then let it eat the earth? That won't work!" Annie was shocked when she heard Tibers' suggestion not to take action! Is this dark creature so powerful? Even Tibers was afraid? But it is impossible not to take action! There are people Annie cares about on this earth, and she will never let the earth be eaten.
My little ancestor! If this deformed dark creature has not grown so big, it would be fine. I can destroy it with one claw! But now, what has it grown? How many planets and worlds has it swallowed?
If you have to take action, then wait a moment and make a ruthless one. It is best to directly traumatize its soul and scare it away! Otherwise, if you continue to fight for a long time, we will definitely suffer! Oh, look! The guy in a red cloak has entered, maybe we can wait a little longer?
"Huh? Sure enough, that man is so brave!" Annie also saw a man wearing a red cloak flying into the shadow world in the sky. After being surprised for a while, Annie continued to chew meat skewers. Tibers said right. Since that's the case, you might as well see the situation first.
A small melee mage actually ran to the other person's home court to fight? Annie didn't know what to say except saying that he was brave. If it were her, she would never do that. It was really stupid!
......
"Hmm? Tibers! Why do I feel something is wrong?" Anne chewed the meat skewers in her hand in confusion, threw away the bamboo sticks after eating them all, and then she carefully counted the ones she held in her hand. Well! There were still twelve meat skewers left in total, and there were so many, so let's continue eating them!
......
"Ah!!! Tibers! I discovered something very magical. I couldn't finish my meat skewers! Look, I just counted it, there were twelve, and I ate two more, and now there should be ten left! But now you look at it, there are still twelve ones!"
Annie suddenly discovered that this thing that surprised her was very strange! Just now, she actually found that she couldn't finish the meat skewers on her hand. This was really weird!
There are still skewers that can't be finished? This is really great! At first she thought she had counted wrongly, but now she looks carefully and there are still twelve left after eating two. After eating two more, there are still twelve still! How come she can't finish eating them?
Tibers didn't answer Anne's words, and it felt something was wrong, but it was now observing carefully.
......
"Tibers...I swear, I will never want to eat meat skewers again!!!" After countless times, Anne threw the twelve meat skewers in her hand downstairs in anger.
She has repeatedly eaten meat skewers countless times. Is it hundreds or thousands? She can't remember it! Maybe she has eaten tens of thousands of meat skewers? This is really terrible!
Now she wanted to vomit when she saw the meat skewers, but now she still found that even if she wanted to eat it, she couldn't do it! Just now, she had already thrown the meat skewers downstairs, but the next moment, they actually returned to her hand, and they were still the twelve, no more or less!
"Ah!!! It's so annoying!" Annie continued to throw the skewers downstairs, and threw out a fireball and burned them to ashes! If this was the case, they wouldn't return to her hands, right? This was the first time Annie felt that no matter how delicious the food was, eating too much would make people feel like they would be shattered.
"Tibers..., what's wrong with us? Why is this happening?" Anne looked dumbly at the twelve skewers that returned to her hand again.
She felt that she was not very good. This was not a skewer at all. It was probably the twelve devils! She had tried burning, freezing, decomposing, expelling them, and even throwing them into a different space! However, every time, every time! They would appear in her hands again, no more or less, just the twelve!
Ha! I understand! Master, there is no problem with meat skewers, but time is endlessly circulated! Look! That guy in a red cloak, he flew to the dark world above again!
"He has flew countless times! What's so strange about it? Huh? Yes! How could he fly so many times! Okay, it turns out he was the one who made it!" Anne immediately broke free from the dead cycle of the Twelve Barbecue Demon King after Tibers' reminder. Then she saw the bad guy at a glance, a green gem wearing in front of the bad guy's chest. The fluctuation was very similar to the other two she collected.
Since Anne already has the space gem and the soul gem, then the one on the bad guy in the red cloak is probably the time gem? Otherwise, Anne would not have been inexplicably trapped in the cycle of time, which made her inexplicably eat countless kebabs, and she almost collapsed? The one in red clothes must be a bad guy!
Master! The time loop has ended, and the time node seems to have returned to normal.
Just as Anne was planning to find a way to end this infinite vicious cycle, Tibers suddenly reminded her that the time cycle was over.
The coming dark world seemed to be solved by the man in a red cloak. Looking at the sky and streets that returned to normal, and then looking at the skewers in her hand, Annie twitched the corners of her mouth and threw them directly on the balcony. She didn't want to look at them again now, and she was annoyed with half of her eyes!
After a while, she looked at the two mages who were leaving below, especially the one wearing a red cloak. Anne thought about it and jumped onto the street. She planned to follow them carefully and then find an opportunity to get the gem.
Annie felt that something as dangerous as the time gem could never be placed in their hands anymore. It was really dangerous. What happened just now was evidence! They almost made her unable to get out of the time cycle now, so Annie felt that such a dangerous thing would reluctantly help them keep it?
"Hey! Little girl, the meat skewers are finished so quickly? Is it delicious? Do you want to come a little longer?" As Annie passed by, the sharp-eyed kewers man noticed her immediately, and then quickly grabbed a handful of meat skewers and waved them to tempt them.
"Bah! It's so unpalatable. I will never eat your kebab again!" Seeing the kebab, Annie almost vomited out. She was so angry that she turned around and made a face hard! She was about to vomit just now, and this person actually wanted to cheat her eat kebab?
"Difficult? No?" The man looked at the little girl who left as if she was running away in confusion. He looked at the skewers in his hand, then picked up a skewers and tasted them by himself. He nodded while eating. That's right, the taste is still the same, it's both spicy and spicy! It's smooth and delicious! How could it be unpalatable? His stairs are an old signature for decades.
