Chapter 2491 Thumb-Sucking Restaurant
“Let me ask you something, during this period of time, how many outsiders were there in Tianxu City?”
In the process of heading to the destination, Tang Zhen asked the little tour guide, actually wanting to find out how many Loucheng monks had come.
“There are indeed many, but most of them are nearby villagers. In addition, there are many strangers, and I don’t know where they come from.
Most of these people are carrying weapons. He looks very fierce and never needs others to guide him.”
The girl replied in a slightly depressed tone. She probably didn't make any money from the other party. After all, the monks in Loucheng didn't look like the owner who was short of money.
If they were all financial backers like Tang Zhen, it would be a huge profit. Now that you meet one, you must satisfy him.
Thinking of this, the girl subconsciously touched the gold coins in her pocket, her heart filled with happiness.
Tang Zhen asked again: "Where have they gone? Do they all live in Tianxu City, or have they gone to other places?"
Although Tianxu City is not large in size, It is small, but the space has limitations, and it is impossible to accommodate so many outsiders.
The girl replied: "They should have all gone to the underground city, where there is more space and you can live for a long time."
"Dungeon? What's going on?"
Tang Zhenmian With a puzzled look on his face, he asked the little tour guide who only came up to his chest. Apparently he didn't expect that Tianxu City, which is surrounded by lakes, has underground space.
The little tour guide said seriously: "The underground city is not a city, but a relic left by the invasion of demons in ancient times. It is said that it is a cave where a big insect came out.
Those demons The bugs of the tribe are very powerful. They are three to four meters thick and dozens of meters long. The soil they come into contact with will turn into stone...
People who don’t have money will live in underground cities, where caves are criss-crossed with no end in sight, and there is never a shortage of places to live..."
Through the description of the little tour guide, Tang Zhen knew that under Tianxu City, there was actually There is such a huge underground space.
It does not exist naturally, but because of something special. The monster formed and almost hollowed out the entire Tianxu City underground.
Although it was a bit surprising, he had seen complex terrains before, and this situation was nothing at all.
It was just. Those Loucheng monks definitely did not go underground to rest and live, but to do something.
"Demons?"
A thought flashed through Tang Zhen's mind. If monsters are related to demons, what are the conditions for their emergence?
Loucheng monks did not go hunting for monsters, but entered Tianxu City in large numbers. Is it related to the so-called demons?
Tang Zhen believes that with the methods of the Loucheng monks, he must have discovered some hidden clues, and they are still secrets that he does not know yet.
Tang Zhen was actually a little curious about what the secret was.
"We're here, your Excellency, please come with me."
The little tour guide's voice rang out, waking Tang Zhen from his thoughts. She jumped down from the platform and led the two of them along the street.
Both sides of the street are lined with houses and shops. In the dim light, you can see many people coming in and out, and it looks very lively.
After walking about five hundred meters, a large tree shining with colorful fluorescence appeared on the roadside, which was very conspicuous in the dim environment.
“This is Thumbsucking Restaurant, we have arrived.”
The little tour guide pointed to the building in front and said to Tang Zhen and the others, with a hint of excitement in his expression.
"Hey, what are you happy about? Is there any benefit to bringing us here?"
Ergou asked the little tour guide, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"There is no advantage, just that you can eat leftovers, and the food here is really delicious. If you don't believe me, just ask those customers!"
The little girl was anxious and quickly explained, maybe because Due to nervousness, her pretty face turned bright red.
"Okay, I believe you."
Tang Zhen smiled and comforted the little tour guide. He glanced at the Zhizhi Bistro and found that the owner had ingeniously carved a stone wall and opened up a space inside. yard.
You can see over the fence that there is also this kind of luminous plant in the yard, and guests are drinking and eating under this tree.
The sounds of laughter and conversation spread to the streets from time to time, adding a touch of life.
There is space above the courtyard, supported by thick stone pillars, forming a structure similar to a second floor.
There are also guests upstairs, where lights can be seen flashing from the windows and the exterior walls are covered with glowing plants. "The environment is pretty good."
Tang Zhen nodded and led the two of them inside.
The business of this restaurant is good. The tables in the courtyard are almost full. Each table is equipped with lighting tools similar to luminous pearls and some strange dishes.
A waiter greeted them at the door. After asking Tang Zhen's request, he led them to the private room on the second floor.
The private room has a good environment. Although the decoration is simple, it is clean and refreshing, and there is plenty of light.
Tang Zhen pointed to the food on the menu and ordered a lot of them, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes.
Taking the gold coins handed over by Tang Zhen, the guy turned around and left, while waving to the little tour guide.
When the little girl saw this, she was about to leave.
“Wait, what are you going to do?”
Tang Zhen suddenly spoke and asked the little tour guide.
The girl was startled and quickly replied: "Your Excellency is about to eat. I am very rude here. I will wait for you at the door and will never run away."
Little The girl spoke very quickly and explained what she was going to do, for fear that Tang Zhen would misunderstand that she was going to run away.
"I don't doubt you, I just want to know if you have eaten?"
The little girl lowered her head slightly and whispered "No", but quickly raised her head again and said You will get a bowl of leftover rice, which is the store's reward for leading the guests.
"Don't leave, just stay and eat together, otherwise I won't be able to finish what I ordered."
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, the little girl looked surprised and seemed to want to refuse, but in the end Still didn't speak.
"Thank you, Your Excellency..."
The little girl thanked her in a low voice and walked back slowly, but still kept a certain distance from the table.
"Sit down, you don't need to be too restrained, and I have some things to ask you."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
The little girl sat on the chair and looked at Tang Zhen intently, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to ask questions.
Tang Zhen smiled and thought this little girl was really interesting. Ergou next to him was also laughing, as if he was thinking of his sister.
“When you introduced the dungeon earlier, you mentioned the term demon clan. As far as I know, the demon clan invasion happened a long time ago. How did you know so clearly?”< br>
Hearing Tang Zhen's question, the little girl gave the answer directly without any hesitation.
"My neighbor is an orphan. He is a very strange person. He shuts himself in the house all day long and refuses to go out. He never wants to interact with others.
Every time I talk to him, he always says He has an old and arrogant look, which is really annoying.
He doesn’t want to cook and always likes to come to my house to eat. Of course, he doesn’t. Eat for free, but pay a certain amount of food.
He always says some weird things and tells some incomprehensible stories, including some legends about the history of Tianxu City..."
When the little girl said this, she suddenly became a little embarrassed and said that the origin of the underground city mentioned earlier was all because she heard nonsense from her neighbors.
"Are you talking nonsense? Why do I think it's true..."
Tang Zhen shook his head, picked up the drink that Ergou had just arrived, and took a sip.
This drink is warm and sweet. It feels very comfortable and smooth after entering the mouth. It seems to be some kind of vegetable oil, and the special aroma is even more refreshing.
"It tastes good."
Tang Zhen praised it, turned to look at Ergou, and found that he was drinking the cup in one gulp, making a "gudong" sound in his mouth.
The so-called cow drink should be like this.
The little girl held the cup with her white and tender hands. After taking a sip, her eyes immediately widened and her face was filled with a happy smile.
