Chapter 115: Unfair Road
Two Hours Later
Dragon Soul Town, 'Mistletoe' Tavern
"Boss! Another bucket of Snake Head Blue."
“Okay~”
"Boss, where are our schnitzels?"
"Wait a minute, that's good!"
"Boss, are my grilled croquettes ready?"
< br>"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
"Boss, my cabbage..."
"Wait a minute!"
"Boss..."
Although it's past twelve o'clock at night, the business here is still so good that the only dozen small tables are all full. It was full, and you could vaguely see a lot of people queuing outside.
【Ah! Who can come and save me? 】
The half-orc boss, who was so busy that his feet did not touch the floor, squeezed out a sigh from his throat in despair, placed a barrel of strong liquor in front of the two half-dragon guests, and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: “Are the dishes at tables No. 7, No. 9, No. 14 ready?”
"It's early!" The angry voice responded: "Come over and help if you have nothing to do!"
"Get out of here, it's not much easier here than you!" Boss Delhi was almost exhausted now. He was vomiting, and while he was scratching his neck and roaring, he secretly swore that he must recruit a subordinate in the next two days, otherwise, even if he could barely cope with being both the boss and the waiter, the efficiency in the kitchen was really a bit... Too slow!
【What if those crazy hungry guys get me grilled if this continues! 】
Derry tilted his head to avoid a few hungry and sharp eyes, and angrily cursed the outsiders who had formed a group to cause trouble in the town a while ago.
Although the local half-dragon guards easily killed those people in the end, the other two taverns in the town also suffered heavy losses in the storm and were temporarily closed.
Based on the principle that peers are enemies, Deli was quite happy at the time...
But he was only happy for less than half a day when he discovered a very bad reality.
That is, if you continue to adhere to the cost-effective principle of a chef, then your store may not be able to save it!
"That..."
[But hiring a serious chef is very expensive! 】
"Hello...?"
[So as long as someone can cook! The most important thing is it's cheap! 】
“Are you the boss here, Mr. Delibaba?”
【But until now, no one has responded... huh? 】
Derry, who had been in a state of distraction, realized that someone was calling him. He looked closely and saw a girl with wings on her back and a hood standing in front of her. Waving her little white hand.
"Ah, I'm Deli." Deli looked at the girl in front of him with some curiosity (guessing) with only half of her face exposed, and asked: "Who are you?"
The girl no longer ignored the other person. He immediately took out a crumpled piece of parchment from his pocket and asked with a smile: "Are you still recruiting people?"
"Recruiting people?" "Derry was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the 'flyer' in the other person's hand, and suddenly said: "You want to be a chef here?"
"Yes!" The girl nodded vigorously: "I will. My name is Ye Ge, a chef..."
When she said the last two words, her voice suddenly became a little timid.
That's right! The hooded winged girl who appeared in front of Delhi was none other than Ji Xiaoge! Ji Xiaoge has the well-deserved talent of [Overwhelming the Country] both in the game and in reality, and also possesses the talent of [Killing Cuisine] in both worlds!
"Chef~" Deli's eyes were not poisonous. He immediately noticed that the girl in front of him didn't seem to have much confidence, and asked slowly: "Isn't she a good cook?"
The girl nodded, then raised her two little hands in front of her and clasped them tightly: "But I will work hard!"
"Tsk tsk, this is a good mentality." Deli, who had been panicking just now, was as steady as an old dog at this moment, nodding to Ji Xiaoge and saying: "And I do have some shortage of people here. It's not impossible to keep you, but..."
The girl quickly asked: "But what?"
"But the treatment may not be that good." Delhi tried to raise the price.
The result...
"It doesn't matter!" Ji Xiaoge said with a smile: "Just let me cook!"
[Damn, there is such a good thing thing! ? 】
Derry was immediately elated, and was about to send the girl into the kitchen without saying anything, but unexpectedly at this moment...
Bang!
The door of the tavern was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the door, both panting and looking disheveled.
The tall one is wearing a set of mage robes, with white beard and hair. He is male. The strange-shaped staff behind his back is surrounded by a faint black smoke. He looks about seventy or eighty years old. , holding an iron chain in his hand.
The short one is squatting on the ground. She has a pair of pointed gray animal ears and a furry tail of the same color. She is a female who looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. She has a pretty face and a slim figure. But her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak somehow seemed to There was a layer of mist lingering, and it looked as if she was about to cry at any time, and...
Her snow-white neck was actually covered with a large collar, and there was a large iron chain connected to it. Above, the other end is held in the hand of the seemingly sanctimonious old man next to him.
"Boss, please bring me a plate of sauced meat and a glass of ale." The old man led the girl inside and shouted at the top of his voice: "Another three kilograms of big bones, two kilograms boiled and minced, and one kilogram made into soup. "
"Woof." The girl next to him also shouted, and unexpectedly...
[She was so trained that she couldn't even speak human words! 】
Ji Xiaoge, who hates evil, only feels angry in her heart at this moment. She no longer cares about talking to the boss in front of her. She clenches her silver teeth and turns around to face the tall and thin old man. , shouted softly: "Shameless!"
"Huh?"
The old man looked at her blankly and reacted for a while before saying "Ah".
But the dog girl next to him weakly shook her head at Ji Xiaoge: "Hungry!" [So pitiful! 】
Ji Xiaoge and the surrounding diners could not help but think of this at this moment. The sad cry of "hungry" seemed to contain thousands of words and countless blood and tears. It's so poignant that people almost dare not think about what this little girl who can't explain in words has gone through!
At least in the mind of a certain girl who has been poisoned by various literary works, she has already imagined a tragic story with tens of thousands of words.
The kind that can arouse a lot of public opinion just by taking one out!
The unscrupulous and cruel master, the poor girl who can't even eat a mouthful of food, the cold basement, the collar symbolizing humiliation, the crazy potion experiment, the victim of evil alchemy, the normal speaking person Rights deprived, calls for help that go unanswered, life in darkness...
[Damn it, we must save her! 】
Ji Xiaoge subconsciously took a step forward, but suddenly found that although the eyes of the others were full of anger, no one stood up with righteous indignation, even those who seemed to be quite wealthy. The powerful adventurers turned their heads silently.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of all intelligent creatures. Very few people would choose the romantic-sounding idea of "drawing a sword to help when the road is rough". This situation does not only happen in the real world. As long as there is so-called 'wisdom' and 'instinct', this kind of thing will exist...
And in the world of innocence, which has a basic moral system but a less developed social structure, this phenomenon is even more common.
It is not that there is no 'good' and 'evil' in people's eyes, but the cost of truly being able to 'do good' for others regardless of one's own interests or even life is much higher than that of saying it is difficult but doing it is extremely easy. 'Do evil'.
Of course, in the eyes of most people, if they have an overwhelming advantage in strength when facing evil forces, they will naturally not mind punishing the other party casually, and then get 'psychological comfort' and 'flowers' Applause', 'throwing one's arms' and other spiritual, reputational or material rewards.
This kind of behavior may be equally worthy of recognition, but true greatness should belong to those who are willing to pay a huge price to 'do good'.
Looking at the old mage, not to mention anything else, his appearance, which looks like a sage, is enough to kill the desire to 'draw a sword to help' in the hearts of most people present. .
It is a recognized fact that a mage becomes more powerful as he gets older.
Just because this guy looks like he is half buried in the ground, he can easily calm all the onlookers at the scene.
But...
Someone doesn't care!
"Let that girl go!" Ji Xiaoge didn't care so much. Even if no one stood up with her, she couldn't stop the girl from wanting to slap the perverted old man. This has nothing to do with whether she is pregnant or not. It has nothing to do with being in the 'game world', or her appearance, family status, or strength. It's just that she doesn't like her!
Simply being displeased and wanting to help were all the reasons why she forgot all the risks at this moment.
"Let her go?" The old man glanced at the chain in his hand and hesitated.
The girl shook her head slightly and whispered: "No, hungry, wang hungry..."
The old man smiled at the girl: "Okay, although the result is more subtle. , but you finally understand something."
[Are you afraid of not having enough to eat? It's so pathetic. 】
Ji Xiaoge couldn't stand it any longer. The pair of snow-white wings behind him suddenly spread out, and he floated up. He paused in mid-air for a few seconds and then quickly flew towards the old man in front of him.
"Huh?" I saw the old man...Forget it, everyone has guessed it by now. I saw Jadeka pulling his teeth and quickly retreating a few steps, waving his hands and saying: " I'm afraid you've misunderstood this girl! ”
Ji Xiaoge’s originally somewhat jerky flying skills became extremely smooth in his anger. The pair of wings behind his back were like arms, and when he used his fingers, he suddenly accelerated in mid-air, and his silhouette was carrying a burst of fragrance. The wind was blowing.
“Woof!” Ya Ya was a little anxious now and shouted loudly: “Hungry woof! Wang Deka is not a woof!”
To be honest, her lingua franca If it had been more standard, Ji Xiaoge’s big piece of cake with blown hair and broken hair would probably not be chopped off...
Yes, you read that right, I’m talking about big cakes!
Although Ji Xiaoge only has one profession, she is a chef, but this does not mean that she does not have some attack methods. With her extremely extraordinary talent in cooking, she was originally in the 'Bound of Innocence' Even a chef who is a professional chef can still fight!
She flipped her delicate hand and took out an oval-shaped piece from nowhere. She raised her hand and cut it towards Jadeka!
"This is a magical weapon!" The latter, who was relatively well-informed, panicked at that time. He subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and the fine robe was cut directly. His cuffs were off, and the sharp round weapon left a bloodstain on his muscular arm!
Ji Xiaoge sneered and backhanded Jadeka's left hand holding Yaya: "This is not a weapon!"
She didn't lie...

[Note: Take a piece of my pie! Or...eat a piece of my pie? 】
Yes, this thing is indeed not a weapon!
Although this cake is not only very sharp, but also has attack power, can break armor, and make the target bleed, it is indeed not a weapon in the strict sense!
At least in Ji Xiaoge's eyes, it is edible!
Had it not been forced by the situation, she would not have wanted to use the food she had worked so hard to cook in battle...
But now is a special situation!
【We must rescue that girl! At least give her a chance to escape! 】
Ji Xiaoge thought so, the pie in his hand was flying up and down in combination with the new century women's fighting skills. The offensive was so fierce that even Jadeka, who was experienced in fighting, was a little confused for a while, and he kept retreating for a while. Avoid the edge!
When the other guests saw the two fighting, they hesitated for a moment and then stood up resolutely, and then...ran out without looking back!
“Pay up!” Deli, who was a little dazed at first, immediately came to his senses and chased after him while yelling and yelling at the street.
The whole tavern suddenly became empty.
A few minutes later, along with a small fireball from Jadeka, the [Onion-cut Iron Flower Armor-breaking Pie] in Ji Xiaoge's hand shattered.
“Little girl!” Jadeka sighed weakly: “Calm down!”
After all, he still had far more experience than Ji Xiaoge, but within a few minutes he realized that the girl in front of him didn't actually have any fighting skills, so he found an opening and put a fireball on the cake. , as expected, the effect is outstanding!
But...
"Is it great to be able to make pancakes?" Ji Xiaoge curled his lips, flipped his hands lightly, and actually took out another Jadeka never Weird weapons I’ve ever seen!
【Is it a blunt instrument this time? Who is this girl? 】
Jadeka cautiously pulled Yaya back two steps, feeling that he was a little awkward...
"Come again!"
Ji Xiaoge's wings fluttered again, and he held the two round, strange-shaped blunt weapons in his hands and smashed them on Jadeka's head!
