In addition to phoenix meat, Veela also served a bowl of basilisk soup, fried manticore, clay pot griffin, garlic soft claw land shrimp, steamed manatee...
In the outside world, these magical creatures have either been extinct for many years or are endangered species. Not to mention eating a bite or even catching them, they have to go to Azkaban Academy for lifelong training.
But in Avalon, it's just food.
All I can say is that this meal was indeed a "punishment".
However, this also explains why these magical creatures are going extinct.
It tastes really good.
Just because it tastes good, for the terrifying erectus, it is already a recipe for death!
After lunch, the three of them stood up and left, but Queen Gros looked at Rolf and said with a smile:
"Scamander, I have something I want to talk to you about alone, just for a few minutes, is that okay?"
Luofu looked at Shirley beside him and saw that she had no objection, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
After the two of them walked away, Nelisi gently poked Shirley with her elbow and said in a low voice:
"Are you not worried at all when the two of them are alone like this?"
"What are you worried about?" Shirley asked confused.
"Of course I'm worried that Rolf will be seduced by Queen Gros." Nelisi said in a low voice:
"You didn't listen to that old witch who said she wanted Luo Fu to marry her, and she acted like she was determined to win. Bah... how shameless!"
Shirley looked at the angry Nellie and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
"Are you so confident?" Nailishi tilted her head and looked at the girl with the ponytail, and kindly reminded:
"Although Queen Gros is not as beautiful as you, she has been married so many times, so she must have some powerful ways of seducing people!
If she shamelessly clings to him, can Luo Fu really resist the temptation?"
Shirley turned her head and stared at the boy's back. She suddenly smiled like a flower and said:
"I believe Rolf!"
In the distance, Rolf and Queen Gros walked side by side, and soon reached the edge of the garden.
Standing here, looking into the distance, the whole city is in sight:
The Tower of Babel stands tall, casting a black silhouette in the city. Below is a maze-like city street, as well as castles and palaces, residences and shops, and stands like the Colosseum.
Beyond the city walls are dry brown hills, and a rushing river flows to the east, becoming wider and wider, and finally empties into the sea.
The mermaid statue stands at the mouth of the river, and the torch on its top is dazzling against the sky.
"What a beautiful scenery." Queen Gros shook the red bracelet on her wrist gently and sighed:
"Your Majesty the King, can you really bear to have such a beautiful scenery destroyed by the Dragon Scourge and watch the wizards here being slaughtered by the Dragon Scourge?"
Hearing this moral kidnapping, Luofu rolled his eyes and said nonsense:
"Have the patience... to tell you the truth, I was a student of Slytherin House at Hogwarts."
"Our Slytherin house has a creed of despicability and no bottom line. Our house has the most dark wizards, and they are far less noble than the students of Hufflepuff house next door."
"So, your moral kidnapping is of no use to me."
"Besides, I am willing to kill Long Hua. After all, I am also being targeted by him." Luo Fu shrugged and said:
"All you have to do is give me the Dragon Bone Sword, but you didn't want to.
Therefore, it is you who...are unwilling to save this city and the wizard, not me!"
"Since you are willing to save them, why don't you save one more weak woman of mine?" Queen Gros was weak and timid, looking at Luofu pitifully.
"You want to say again, let me become the king of Avalon and then marry you?" Luofu sneered: "What if I refuse?"
"If you refuse... I won't do anything to you." Queen Gros smiled slightly and said, "But I will keep you here until you agree."
Luofu raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Queen Gros. She looked at him and still smiled charmingly:
"You should think about it, don't refuse in a hurry."
"As long as you agree, not only can you get me, but you can also taste the creatures you just ate every day."
"And the olive tree, there is only one in the whole Avalon." Queen Gros pointed to the big tree in the center of the garden and said:
"When you become the King of Avalon, you can take olive fruit, and then learn the knowledge of the ancient wizards in the Tower of Babel, making you the most powerful wizard..."
Luofu stared at Queen Gros. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said:
"I have to say that what you said really moved my heart, but I'm worried that you are just trying to trick me. When I really become the King of Avalon, the things you promised will not be fulfilled.
"
"I will not break my promise." Queen Gros promised.
"It's not true." Luo Fu said with a smile: "In my hometown, when you get married, the woman has to pay the man a bride price first... ah, dowry."
"So, you have to give me what I want first before I can marry you!"
"what do you want?"
Luo Fu muttered: "Ten phoenix eggs that can be hatched, ten unicorns, twenty Wyvern dragons, fifteen five-legged monsters..."
The young man mentioned dozens of magical creatures in one go as if he was announcing the name of a dish. He finally added:
"Oh, by the way... there is also the Kraken, I want to see it too... If you give me these, I will marry you."
"..."
…
…
After Luo Fu and Queen Gros opened their mouths, they took Shirley and Niles back to the Tower of Babel and entered the box again.
Nellie couldn't wait to return to the room, ready to take a nap and try whether the wine could really bring about sweet dreams.
Rolf and Shirley held hands and walked along the lakeside path.
After using magic to block the sound, the boy told the ponytailed girl all about his conversation with Queen Gros.
When Shirley heard that there was a curse on Gross that needed to be solved by Rolf, she laughed dumbly and said: "Another Helena?"
"Yeah." Luo Fu sighed: "It's all Cassandra's fault. Why do you do divination for me when you have nothing to do?"
"But I feel that since you are friends, she would not deliberately try to harm you." Shirley said thoughtfully, "So, she must have deep intentions in doing these things."
"Also...since Queen Gros has met Cassandra Trelawney, it also proves that she is more than one or two hundred years old."
"That's right." Luofu nodded, "I think so too.
I even suspect that the great-great-grandmother Gross mentioned who met Ravenclaw might be herself!"
"If Gross has really lived for at least a thousand years, his strength must be extraordinary." The girl with the ponytail said seriously:
"She wants to keep us here, can we really run away?"
"Maybe she can't run away." Luo Fu stretched his waist and said, "So, I have agreed to marry her."
"You agreed to marry Gross?!"
Shirley stared at the young man's eyes, which were like a clear spring. She could almost see her anxious face from there.
The girl suddenly saw the corners of Luofu's mouth turning up into a smile. Then she realized and said, "Are you lying to her?"
"Of course!" Luofu tapped the tip of her nose and said with a smile:
"This is just a way to stabilize Gross and delay it for a while. I have actually thought of a way to get out of trouble, but I will keep it secret for the time being."
"Also...I also thought about how to leave Avalon." Rolf stretched out his hand, gently hugged Shirley's slender waist, and sighed:
"Someone has left us a clue a long time ago. I didn't even think of it before."
Shirley rested her head on Luo Fu's shoulder. After thinking for a while, she widened her eyes and said, "You mean..."
