"Sir, please don't look at me like that." Prosesi said angrily, "I am born fat, not because of gluttony!"
"Oh, so is there anything good to eat nearby?"
"……some."
As a leasing company supplying laboratories to wealthy alchemists, many places for luxury consumption naturally sprouted nearby.
Outsiders may not know what to choose when they come here, but Prosesi, a know-it-all, knows everything about everything. He led Chai Anping to a low-key and luxurious annex.
"Sir, this place is called 'Kasugaju'. It is a place where many alchemist masters and wealthy people like to come. Most of the time, reservations are required. However, although we did not make a reservation, the streets are deserted today, so there should be many seats in Kasugaju.
.”
"Kasugaju..."
At first glance, it sounds like a name that those arty nobles like to give, tsk.
"Is there a more friendly place?"
The corner of Chai Anping's mouth twitched. He didn't know why when he looked at this facade, he suddenly remembered the scene when he and Eller Bella went to the Kemishenglun Restaurant for dinner. At that moment, he had no appetite at all.
"Uh..." Proseci glanced directly at Chai Anping: "Food court?"
The west side of the city is filled with many factories and workshops, and naturally there are many workers. They can't afford such places, so the high-quality and low-price food streets for civilians are naturally their first choice.
"Oh? Let's go and have a look!" Chai Anping's eyes lit up and he decided immediately.
Prosesi, who just now was arguing that his obesity was not due to gluttony, glanced at the decoration of Kasugaju's facade with nostalgia: "Okay, sir... please follow me."
Prosthesi has been running errands for the alchemist on weekdays and has accumulated a lot of savings. Naturally, there is no pressure to go to a high-cost place such as Kasuga Residence, but the food served by others is always more delicious.
…
…
There are many specialties in Demacia. The street Prosesi brought Chai Anping to is one kilometer long and full of aromas emanating from shops and stalls.
In terms of people's livelihood, the two worlds are indeed not very different!
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Chai Anping had the illusion of dreaming back to the food street in a scenic spot in his previous life.
It was lunchtime at this time, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going. Those dignitaries didn't have to go out, but that didn't mean ordinary people didn't have to go to work.
“There are so many people.”
When the two walked into the food court, Chai Anping couldn't help but sigh.
Prothesi pushed his huge body forward with difficulty, while secretly irritating himself that he shouldn't have brought Mr. Shelley to such a place. He had already made a big mistake today. If he made Mr. Shelley angry again,
He might really get cold.
"Adults, don't be upset, the little ones... the little ones will make a way for the adults!"
Chai Anping wanted to tell this attentive fat man that this kind of crowded bustle was one of the joys of shopping, but since he wanted to show it so actively, Chai Anping didn't say much.
They tasted all kinds of Demacian delicacies that they had never seen or even heard of along the way, and the two of them did not spend more than half a gold coin. In comparison, it was really good and cheap.
"Sir, there seems to be some event taking place in front." Prosthesi said as he bit into a small takoyaki.
"Let's go and take a look."
“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t miss it if you pass by! Participate in the bread war and win the prize to get a voucher worth 20 gold coins for our steel snack chain store!
A voucher worth 20 gold coins! Enough for you to eat at any of our chain stores for 3 months!"
"Oh! Sir, this is an event organized by Steel Snacks." Prosesi said in surprise: "This is an industry giant with chain stores across the country. As expected of them, they even held a small food court event with a prize of 20 gold coins!"
Chai Anping was not interested in this: "What is the bread war they are talking about?"
"Ah...it's 'black thorn bread'." Prosthesi explained: "It's the kind of black bread that is said to have the longest shelf life and is the hardest. I heard that the processed black thorn bread is even tougher than a kitchen knife.
It is difficult to split, and the contestants need to use long strips of black thorn bread to break the other party's bread, and keep their own 'weapons' constant to win."
"ha……"
Chai Anping has also heard of the reputation of black thorn bread. It was originally made to serve as food for expeditionary forces and border guards. However, soldiers and generals continued to complain that black thorn bread broke their teeth and even caused gastrointestinal discomfort. This
It was only then that Blackthorn Bread retired from the military and became a well-known folk legend.
If you really want to eat that thing, you usually have to put it in boiling soup and let it soften before you can eat it. Otherwise, most of the time you can even drive nails with it!
"It seems quite interesting." Chai Anping said with a smile: "Let's go over and see the excitement."
The crowd in front was crowded, and from time to time they would shout "come on", "cut him" and other irritable words.
"Hey, haven't you seen it?" Proseci smiled and said, "That's well worth watching. The Black Thorn Bread Battle is no worse than a real fight with real swords and guns."
"oh?"
Prosexi smiled evilly and led Chai Anping onto a small high platform.
There is a round platform about ten meters in the center of the crowd, on which two people are jumping around, each holding a long black loaf of bread in their hands, and they will fight each other from time to time.
They were a man and a woman, both of whom looked quite young. The woman was wearing a vigorous warrior outfit, with several pieces of leather armor standing on various parts of her body, and a tied ponytail flying freely.
"Oh, she's still a beauty."
The melon-eating crowd onlookers must be so enthusiastic because of her, right?
The opponent of this beautiful woman is a strong young man. Judging from his movements, it is obvious that he has been practiced.
"Come on! Cut off his black thorn bread!"
Most of the people in the audience were cheering for the beautiful woman. Chai Anping glanced around and saw, well... As expected, most of them were macho men.
He began to watch the duel between the two with great interest. Chai Anping still maintained his identity as a palace guard. Although he was not as good as some strong men in the military, he was still very confident compared with the civilians in the market.
But after just a few glances, he was a little surprised - the skills of these two people are so powerful!
The black thorn bread, which was not easy to hold, danced flexibly in the hands of the two of them, and they were very clever in attacking and parrying each other. It was not easy for the black thorns, which were like sticks, to touch each other.
"hiss--"
"Haha, sir, have you seen how powerful they are?" Proseci smiled and said: "The Bread War can often attract those powerful warriors and knights. Although most of them don't like the rewards, this novelty
The fighting method that is not easy to get injured is very popular."
"Besides... this doesn't count as a fight, the guards don't care!"
"...Is this so?"
Chai Anping, who often participated in palace guard competitions, was not deeply impressed. He just nodded slightly and focused his attention on the ring again.
At this time, the battle between the two contestants on the stage has also heated up, and it seems that the winner is about to be determined.
The beautiful warrior has gained the upper hand. Just now, she almost broke the opponent's bread in half with a ghostly stab. It can be said that victory is in sight.
"Kashina, cut him! Cut him! Ahhhh——!"
A high-pitched scream suddenly came from somewhere close to the competition stage. The sound sounded a bit familiar and Chai Anping couldn't help but be startled.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw that the person was wearing a cloak and could not see his face. The voice should be that of a young woman, and the voice was surprisingly pleasant.
"Is it someone I know?"
The noisy sound wave instantly drowned out the man's scream - the female warrior showed her flexible body skills to stun the opponent, and then cut off the opponent's bread with a neat sword!
"Powerful!" Chai Anping couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.
The person he was looking at just now screamed and rushed to the stage. In a few steps, he hugged the female warrior named "Kashina", and then a dazzling blond hair appeared on Chai Anping's head.
In sight.
"Um?"
The cloak on the young woman's head was pulled halfway up by her movement, and Chai Anping's pupils shrank instantly:
