Chapter 2660: Delicious Food

Fried rice with scallions and eggs?

At first, Xixia refused. Although she had never heard of this kind of food, she disliked eggs very much because she felt that they smelled fishy no matter how they were cooked. Of course, if it was made by a gourmet wizard, that would be another matter. But Mana, the head maid, was obviously an ordinary aunt at first glance, and she could not possibly be at the level of a gourmet wizard.

Most importantly, she saw a whole pot of oil in the kitchen for making egg shreds, which made her feel even more repulsive.

She didn't like eating oily food since she was a child, and always felt that there was a raw smell in the oil. The raw smell and the fishy smell, the two smells she hated the most, were combined together, which made her physically and psychologically resist.

If it weren't for the enthusiasm of Mana, the head maid, she would have turned around and left at this time.

However, no matter how enthusiastic Mana was, she didn't want to eat any fried rice with scallions and eggs. She was already thinking in her heart, how to reject Mana's invitation in a tactful and non-offensive reason?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use "I'm full" as an excuse?

However, before Xixia found the right time to say no, Mana, the head maid, had already placed a porcelain plate full of golden rice in front of Xixia with a smile.

Smelling the tempting aroma, watching the thin egg shreds wrapped around the long rice, and the green chives, Xixia, who was originally thinking of refusing, had this familiar feeling for the second time today - salivating.

The last time was when she was drinking cream of mushroom soup.

"Hurry up and try it. I got you a spoon. Originally, it was best to use chopsticks to eat this chive fried rice, but chopsticks are difficult to learn. It took me a long time to learn how to use them, so it's better to use a spoon." Mana, the head maid, sat opposite Xixia and said with a smile.

What are chopsticks? Xixia had this doubt in her mind, but she didn't ask aloud, because all her mind was hooked by a plate of fried rice.

Or, try it? It smells pretty good, maybe it tastes good?

If it's really not delicious, just taste it.

Thinking of this, under the expectant eyes of Mana, Cecia couldn't help but stretch out her hand, tremblingly picked up the spoon, and scooped into the golden rice mountain.

A small spoonful, put it into the mouth, chewed it gently into the throat.

Cecia was stunned.

Really... really fragrant!

Before, I thought it was raw, fishy and greasy, but it tasted dry and fragrant. Moreover, every grain of rice was covered with egg shreds, which made it very satisfying to chew.

There was no raw fishy smell... Maybe this body made her taste buds less sensitive? This seems to be good.

Without the raw fishy smell, Cecia began to put one spoonful after another into her mouth. The more she chewed, the more delicious it was, and her expression unconsciously took on a satisfied look.

This taste is a bit like hot salty cheese poured on black barley. But compared to the combination of cheese and black barley, this one is looser and not too greasy or salty. Although she still prefers the relatively light cream mushroom soup, this chive fried rice is definitely not worse than cream mushroom soup.

Its unique taste experience even exceeds cream mushroom soup.

"Is it okay?" Mana Maid Leader saw Cecilia's expression and knew that she didn't hate the taste of fried rice.

"I was worried that you couldn't eat chives, and I was thinking of making you a plate of fried rice without chives later, but since you can eat chives, there's no problem."

Cecilia: "So this green vegetable is chives. The taste is a bit strange, but it is very harmonious when eaten with egg shreds."

Mana Maid Leader: "According to Mr. Jon, chives can suppress the fishy smell of eggs and make the taste better."

"It turns out that it is used to neutralize the fishy smell." Cecilia suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she didn't taste any fishy smell.

Talking while eating or making too loud chewing sounds is quite impolite in the etiquette of the Baiyuan people. And Xixia is a well-educated model lady, and she has always followed these etiquettes.

But at this moment, facing the kind smile of the maid Mana, Xixia completely ignored the etiquette of the Baiyuan people.

There are only a few Baiyuan people left, and it is ridiculous to hold on to these old-fashioned rules as commandments.

"Maid Mana, can I ask you a question?"

Mana nodded happily: "Of course. Also, Miss Cecilia can just call me Auntie. The title of Maid is so unfamiliar."

"Okay." Cecilia nodded with a smile: "I just want to ask, is this scallion fried rice a specialty here?"

Maid Mana covered her mouth and laughed: "I used to be asked this question in reality, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape it even when I came to the Dream Wilderness."

"This is not a specialty of the Dream Wilderness, but a food from Mr. Jon's hometown. Speaking of which, I am not the best at making fried rice. I am ranked third at most in the manor."

"Mr. Jon is the best, and the second best is Master Pat..."

Cecilia was surprised: "Angel can also cook?"

Maid Mana: "Not the young master, but the old master. The young master actually learned to make fried rice, but somehow, the taste of the fried rice always turned out strange. Sometimes it tasted good, and sometimes it was just average."

"It's the eldest master who always dotes on the young master. He knows that the young master loves Mr. Jon's fried rice, so the eldest master learned how to make scallion fried rice and made it for the young master. The eldest master's cooking skills are very high, and he often adds some other ingredients to embellish it. Not only does it not destroy the taste, but it is more fragrant and delicious. I can't do this anyway."

Xixia had a glimmer of enlightenment in her heart. It seems that Angel has an elder brother. Moreover, the relationship is quite good.

"Since Jon is the best, why doesn't Jon make it for Angel? Instead, Angel's brother does it?"

"This, it's because Mr. Jon..." Mana, the maid, just said half of the words, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then, a voice came from outside: "Because Mr. Jon's hands are more suitable for playing the piano or doing academic research. It's a waste to use them to make fried rice."

"It's the young master." The moment Mana heard the voice, her eyes lit up instantly and looked at the door.

Sure enough, after a while, Angel walked in.

Mana was very happy to see Angel, but Cecia frowned, as if she thought of something, and glanced coldly, and the originally harmonious atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became stiff.

Before Mana realized the change in the atmosphere, she heard Angel say: "Good day, Maid Mana."

"Good day." Mana replied fluently.

"Miss Cecia and I have something to discuss. Can you trouble Maid Mana to make two cups of tea for us?"

Mana naturally understood that Angel had something private to discuss, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course, please wait for a moment, Master and Miss Cecia."

Mana bowed gently to the two, and then slowly retreated.

Angel came to Xixia: "How is it? Do you think the fried rice tastes good?"

Xixia answered irrelevantly: "Maid Mana is a good person."

Angel: "So?"

Xixia: "So I don't want to answer your question."

Angel looked at Xixia's serious expression, and somehow understood what she meant.

She didn't want to see Angel, so she wanted to answer Angel's question in a rebellious way. However, the fried rice was made by Maid Mana, and she thought Maid Mana was a good person. She didn't want to go against her conscience and say that the fried rice tasted bad, but she didn't want to answer Angel that it tasted good, so she chose not to answer this question.

It was a very twisted thinking, but Angel felt that he should have guessed correctly.

As for why Xixia didn't want to see him...it was clear from Xixia's question.

Xixia: "You can locate my position, and do you know when I entered the dream wilderness?"

Although the words were questioning, Xixia said this in a firm and contemptuous tone. Obviously, she believed that she was being monitored by Angel, so she was naturally unhappy.

Angel wanted to find a reason to fool her, but after thinking about it, he finally said honestly: "I have mastered a power of the Dream Wilderness - the Dream Gate. This power is also the basis for the emergence of other people here and its prosperity. At the same time, I can also use this power to mark specific people. When specific people enter, the power will remind me."

"The specific people I marked include the ancestors of the Savage Cave, the master of the Savage Cave, my mentor... and some people I think need special treatment, including you."

Cisia was originally quite unhappy, but after listening to Angel's words, she was a little surprised.

Power? ! The power of this world can be mastered by humans? Why tell her this? Can such an important matter be told to her?

Angel seemed to see through Xixia's thoughts and chuckled: "I am not the only one who has power, and my power is the most convenient. I can locate people at any time and change the location of people according to my wishes."

"However, if there is no important matter, I will not use my power at will."

Xixia looked at Angel deeply. She was quite satisfied with Angel's confession. At least, it diluted the discomfort of being monitored before.

Xixia: "Then why do I need to be treated specially?"

Angel looked at Xixia suspiciously: "Isn't this obvious? Have you forgotten the question you asked me when you were in the box before?"

"My answer is still the same as before, because you are a Baiyuan person."

Xixia choked: "...Aren't there other Baiyuan people in the Dream Wilderness?"

"Yes, so I marked them all as special persons."

Looking at Angel's self-righteous expression, Xixia suddenly didn't know how to respond...because, what Angel said seemed to be right.

Moreover, the so-called special people by Angel also include the high-level officials of the Savage Cave. Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing to be dissatisfied with? Seeing that Xixia's expression has warmed up, Angel knew that she had been fooled, and quickly took the opportunity to ask: "If you want to know more, you can find out by yourself, or go to the Sky Tower to ask Frode. Now, let's put these aside and talk about my business." "Your business? What is it?" "Urgent." "Urgent?" Xixia asked in confusion: "Are you going to retreat?" Angel: "Retreat? What do you mean?"

Sisia: "Based on the time you left me, most of you should not have left the alien space yet. Therefore, the only emergency I can think of is that you have been attacked, and you have been protected by the mark and you have been attacked. Then there is only one possibility, you retreat."

"Because when you retreat, the mark will not follow. Therefore, if you retreat, you will definitely fall into the void... If someone really falls into the void, it's the two apprentices who should give up. They can't be saved. As for you, broken You should be able to open planes and tunnels, just leave here."

Angel: "There are monsters raised in the void?"

Sisia: "That's right. Don't ask me what monsters I raise, why I raise them, and what's in the depths of the void... I can't answer any of these, and I even don't know the answers to some of them."

Sicia blocked all the escape routes that Angel wanted to ask, and Angel could only temporarily give up asking about the secrets in the alien space.

But back to the topic.

"None of us retreated. The urgent matter I mentioned was something else." Angel: "The Black Earl has left the alien space and entered the prison ladder to investigate. The situation there is better than I imagined. It’s even more special…”

After a pause, Angel looked at Sicia: "I just want to know how much you know about the situation in the Ladder of Prison? Also, when was the last time you learned about the information in the Ladder of Prison? ?”

…

After a while, Sicia took the hand of the head maid Mana and left Pat Manor.

Sisia wanted to know more about this place, so she stopped by the Sky Tower that Angel mentioned. The head maid Mana also happened to be going to the Sky Tower to report on her duties, so they simply went together.

Angel, on the other hand, was still sitting in the restaurant on the second floor, frowning slightly.

He got some not-so-good news from Xixia. The prison ladder that Xixia knew about was what happened six years ago.

The span of six years, from the perspective of Sisia, who has survived ten thousand years, can be said to be a fleeting time. However, considering the cowardice of the wood spirit in the prison ladder, something might happen every minute and every second in the past six years.

Maybe, in the past six years, it suddenly wanted to leave?

However, it is not all bad news. There is relatively good news.

The bottom layer of the Ladder of Hanging Prison is not broken now. It was already broken before the wood spirit went to the Ladder of Hanging Prison.

However, what is broken are only edge walls or corners. These places are not covered by the magic energy array. No matter how good the material is, it will be eroded by time, which is a normal fragmentation.

The main places, such as central points such as the main hall and stairs, can still remain basically intact.

Barring no accidents, as long as the magic energy array is not destroyed, it is possible to maintain it for another thousand years.

Looking at it now, there is a mix of good news and bad news, and the wood spirit may still continue to pretend to be dead in the prison ladder. But the premise is that the wood spirit knows that the magic energy array can continue to last for thousands of years. If he doesn't know, looking at the broken buildings around him, the chance of the wood spirit changing places is still very high.

Whether it still exists or not, you can only know by going and seeing it in person.
