Chapter 773 Apple Pie

"Come and try this apple pie, which is the most popular delicacy in my hometown."

Using the hands of a mage to hand a piece of candied fruit pie mixed with jam fillings to the seated girl god, the "Pale Specter" behaved like a chef simply waiting for the diners to appreciate the food, his smile and language There is no ridicule or hostility mixed in at all, that kind of sunny friendliness feels like a ray of sun shining against an empty palace

Aztlan is worthy of being a good-aligned professional. Even in the face of a potential enemy, he can still maintain a sincere and friendly smile to entertain the "smile" who enters the banquet.

Although it is a well-known and basic demeanor to "treat guests who come for any purpose with tolerance" at noble banquets, but in reality there are very few nobles who can do this.

In contrast, the behavior of the white-robed mage at this time is enough to be called the highest standard of a "benevolent nobleman", because what he said "everyone who comes is a guest" is not just talking like ordinary nobles No, Aztlan's attitude towards the stalker "Smile" at this time is really not hostile or unfriendly at all.

But... Regardless of whether the caster who entertained his enemies maintains a friendly attitude or not, the "smile" who is the "invited" will never let down his vigilance.

Even though it seems that Aztlan does not have the ability, or does not want to attack the exposed figure of the girl god, but this does not mean that "Smile" has lost his hostility to the "enemy" in front of him.

Facing Aztlan who didn't know what she was planning, the girl god was ready to fight at any time, and she was completely in the mood to taste the piece of apple pie in front of her right now.

So, after glancing at the delicious food with jam and sweetness, "Smile" gently reached out and pushed the plate of apple pie aside, then raised his head and said to the white-robed mage cautiously:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't like to eat "desserts", maybe a "main course" that will be served as soon as possible is more suitable for my taste"!

Words full of hints were spoken between the lips and teeth of the girl god, and the long dining table illuminated by the hall lights fell into a dead silence in an instant.

At this moment, the apprentices who were sitting at the dining table about to pick up their knives and forks were already too scared to vent their anger. A good banquet had suddenly turned into a confrontation between two legendary professionals. There is a huge murderous intent and temptation hidden between every word of the "big boss".

Unknowingly, the increasingly silent atmosphere began to dispel the warmth brought by the lights, and the galloping zither strings seemed to have sounded the horn of war.

Maybe in the next second, the battle that broke out in an instant will sweep away all the delicious food, and the entire White Rock City will turn into a battlefield for legendary strongmen in an instant...

But fortunately, Aztlan is a rational mage, not a fierce fighting fanatic. Although the "smiling" eyes that seem to be looking for a flaw at any time and preparing to attack make people feel uncomfortable, but never The white-robed mage who had never thought of starting a war did not respond to the tense "smile" with tough actions.

Staring at the porcelain plate pushed away by the girl god, Aztlan, who had a very calm expression from the beginning to the end, just fetched an apple pie from the dining car pushed away by the servant, and then slowly cut and dipped it with a knife The meringue full of jam said in a soft tone:

"A man once said that ambition is the driving force for progress, and desire is the meaning of existence... This sentence still sounds very touching, so when I was young, I was eager for such views-I longed for more Knowledge, desire to grow stronger, and use curiosity as an excuse to embark on a long journey, but..."

Putting a small piece of apple pie covered with crystal applesauce into his mouth, the white-robed mage squinted his eyes and chewed slowly, enjoying it.

"...Now I understand that too much pursuit will only make me miss a lot of more exciting scenery. The fame, fortune, power, and strength that are touted by people are not what I want, until I am locked in this huge cage. After realizing the fact that I couldn’t leave, and having time to calm down and think, I discovered the scenery that really met my inner expectations.”

Swallowing the sweet delicacy in his mouth, Aztlan, who looked directly at the "smiling" red pupil, looked extremely sincere at this time.

"Have you seen this apple pie? When I was young, I was the heir in line of a big noble family, and this kind of apple pie is the famous "poor food" in our little plane... It is very, very delicious, but Because it is too cheap, the nobles regard it as "something that the pariahs eat"... You know, when I was a child, what I most wanted to taste was this delicate and delicious apple pie that only the low-level servants of the family would eat. .

It’s just that I was so busy at that time that I quickly forgot about it, and I never took the time to taste this delicious-looking delicacy... until I was locked in this isolated cage , as a legendary mage, I put this extremely simple food into my mouth."

After showing a self-deprecating smile, Aztlan's tone became much lighter. Maybe he thought that the girl god would let go of some "strong obsession" when she was in a cage and faced with a certain death situation. White Robe The mage seems to be trying to convey some of his own "recluse" concepts to "Smile".

Although it is more than 90% likely that these words were just a prelude to revealing his true purpose, Aztlan's tone was very sincere from beginning to end.

Especially when talking about his thoughts on "Apple Pie", the white-robed sorcerer with a bright smile spread his hands and made a relaxing gesture...

It can be seen that all the thoughts said by the legendary mage are indeed a summary of his inner thinking.

"When I tasted the apple pie I was looking forward to when I was a child for the first time in my life, I realized many truths that I had neglected-we always forget our original intentions when we are busy pursuing desires and interests. The subtle beauty that has been missed... If there is no hope in the future, why don't we grasp the "now" seriously? Maybe this solid magic lock blocks our forward steps, but we can still Gain new happiness on the basis of existing "………

"It's ridiculous nonsense! In my body and mind, only climbing the peak of the world is the most interesting thing. Your idea is just a cowardly escape that dare not face reality... Enough! I am not I don’t want to listen to such nonsense anymore, let’s talk about your real purpose now, don’t tell me that you, a magic caster at the legendary level, expect to be able to impress the concubine with your “talk”!

In the face of Aztlan's sincere "brainwashing", the ambitious girl god is completely indifferent.

Obviously, Aztlan thought that the girl god who was imprisoned in the magic lock and could not return to the kingdom of God had accepted the coming of death, and a "completely desperate" legendary professional was likely to agree that he "enjoyed in time" " point of view.

But it's a pity that he underestimated the ambition of "Smile", and also underestimated the "cheat" of punk. His "Smile" is far from falling into the abyss of despair. The "great truth" carefully prepared by the white robe mage It didn't come in handy at all......
