Chapter 208 Invitation
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the helmeted man stared at him in confusion.
"You don't want to trick me into eating the shrimps, do you?"
"If I want it, I can just grab it."
Duanmuhuai stared at the pot of shrimps in front of him.
"This contains my exclusive formula. Don't you have a better way?"
"Of course."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"How about I guarantee you'll enjoy it? Do you want to try it?"
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, the helmeted man thought for a moment.
"Okay, I want to see what you are going to do, but having said that, if you dare to ruin my shrimps, I will never be done with you! Although I am just a little gangster, I can't be dismissed so easily!"
"Leave it to me! Can you eat spicy food?"
"Of course."
"That's no problem."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai took out a bag of red stuff from his pocket, tore it open, and then poured it in directly. Then he took the big spoon next to him and started stirring. As Duanmuhuai moved, a spicy and fragrant smell came out of it. When he smelled this smell, the helmeted man's eyes suddenly changed.
"Hey, what did you put in it? Why does it smell so good?"
“The spicy base is perfect for eating crayfish.”
At this moment, Duanmu Huai was also drooling. The thing he put in the pot was none other than the base of the spicy hot pot. This was something Duanmu Huai got from the planet where he advanced to the Doom Slayer. Fortunately, This thing has a long shelf life and won't go bad, so Duanmuhuai took it over without any ceremony. Although he is not very picky about food, the food processing in Novice Village and Manalia is too rough, and eating dried meat all day will make him tired. In this case, he might as well make some hot pot The base material is good for eating hot pot when you have nothing to do.
My butt hurts after eating.
"Hiss slip..."
The spicy aroma became stronger and stronger, and the man in the helmet couldn't help but salivate.
"Hey, it's almost done."
"Yes, it would be better if it has a little more flavor."
Duanmu Huai couldn't help it anymore. He took off his gloves and sat on the other side of the pot. Then the two of them looked at each other.
There is no need to speak, silence is better than sound at this time, and the red spicy shrimps in front of me can't wait.
"Then, let's begin."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he picked up a lobster, and the helmeted man opposite him couldn't wait to reach out, pick up a lobster and peel it off.
The shrimp meat in the mouth is extremely tender, and the slightly spicy taste makes Duanmuhuai feel like he has returned to the days of eating spicy crayfish in the night market, but...
This thing is better than spicy crayfish!
Looking at the lobster in his hand with satisfaction, Duanmu Huai nodded. Although the crayfish was fragrant and delicious, it was unfortunately too small in size. It might not be a problem for ordinary people, but in Duanmu Huai's hands, the spicy crayfish was... The small one is almost the same as an earthworm. Duanmu Huai's thick fingers cannot peel the skin and pick out the thread. Every time he has to pay extra for help to peel the skin before sending it over, otherwise he can only chew it directly.
The shrimps cooked by the man in the helmet were larger in size. Although not as big as the lobsters that Duanmuhuai had dried before, they were not too small and fit just right in his hand. Finally, Duanmuhuai also enjoyed the fun of peeling and picking out the crayfish. The crayfish in his mouth was tender and juicy, without any fishy smell, and spicy and fragrant, which whetted his appetite.
It's a pity that there are no drinks or beer, otherwise it would be perfect.
"Huh..."
The pot was not small, but the lobsters were also very big, so it didn't take long for the lobsters in the pot to be eaten. The man in the helmet was full and leaned against the wall, burping with satisfaction.
"This is really good. I didn't expect you to have such ability. You probably won't take this pot of soup back."
"Of course not."
"Well, after eating such a meal, I have made a profit."
As he spoke, the helmeted man touched his arms, took out a necklace, and threw it into Duanmu Huai's hand.
"Here, this is it. That woman is also stupid, but it would be nice if she died without being deceived."
"Thank you."
Duanmuhuai took the pendant, put it away again, stood up, and turned to leave.
"Hey, let's eat together next time we have a chance!"
The helmeted man's greeting came from behind, and when Duanmuhuai heard what he said, he waved.
"Definitely next time."
After that, Duanmu Huai returned to the pavilion again, and the woman stood there eagerly, waiting for him.
"This is what you want."
Duanmu Huai handed over the necklace she got from the helmeted man, and when she saw the necklace, the woman suddenly showed a happy expression. "Yes, this is indeed the necklace that was taken away from me. Thank you, you are really my benefactor..."
"It's not that exaggerated, I just got the necklace back."
And we also had a delicious meal.
"Ah, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."
As the woman spoke, she looked at Duanmuhuai sheepishly.
"I am Laya, serving the owner of the Volcano Mansion, Lady Tanis. Inviting people with heroic qualifications to the mansion is my duty as a recruiter."
As she spoke, La Ya took out a letter from her arms.
"Please accept this."
"What is this?"
Duanmuhuai glanced at the letter in his hand and asked.
"This is an invitation letter from the Huoshan Official Residence. My lord with heroic qualifications, please move towards the Yatan Plateau in the Land of Golden Trees. As long as your strength is proven, the Huoshan Official Residence will definitely invite you officially to become a hero who fights side by side - ——And the people.”
"Hmm..."
Looking at the invitation letter, Duanmu Huai was somewhat indifferent. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something - he remembered that when Audrey contacted him before, he once said that she was teleported to a The mansion located in the volcano, is it the official residence of the volcano?
"Let me ask you something."
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at La Ya and asked.
"Have you ever seen a girl with long black hair and beautiful clothes?"
"Ah, are you referring to Miss Audrey?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, La Ya was also a little surprised.
"She suddenly appeared at the Volcano Residence and is currently being taken care of by Lord Tanith... Ah, so you are the master she said..."
"That's right, so if I go to the Shangri-La Residence, can I see her?"
"Of course."
Raya nodded.
"Please rest assured that Miss Audrey is fine now and is not seriously injured."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
After learning about Audrey's whereabouts, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief. At least now, the location of one of them has been clarified, and Laya also informed Duanmuhuai in detail how to get to the Yatan Plateau where Huoshan's official residence is located. Although she said there The large elevator has not been used for a long time. It is recommended that Duanmuhuai take the mine cave. However, for Duanmuhuai, instead of getting into a cave that he cannot even turn around, it is more convenient to climb the cliff.
Duanmuhuai chatted with La Ya for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. After all, he had a lot of things to do next. Anyway, after learning about Audrey's location, Duanmuhuai felt a little relieved.
It's a pity that others still don't know where they are.
Ojisi said that she was in a "cave with a starry sky", but Duanmu Huai was confused and completely confused about this. Lorena only knew that she was currently in a white snowfield, with heavy snow falling everywhere, and there were tall giants walking back and forth outside, which made it even more confusing.
Bambi is the worst. She is still shivering and hiding in the temple. Bambi once sent a bat out to explore the wind. All she knows is that the temple is located on a piece of red land, with a bridge in front of it, and there are There is a dragon... That's all the information Bambi can provide.
"Family, come and save me. This weird big man is so scary. He goes crazy at every turn..."
Bambi almost cried.
Unfortunately, Duanmuhuai still didn't know where she was.
But as long as you find a piece of red land, you should be able to find her location.
After saying goodbye to Laya, Duanmuhuai continued to move forward to the Magic Academy.
Along the way, you can see flooded and collapsed buildings everywhere. Duanmuhuai doesn't know what happened here, but from the current point of view, it seems that a flood has been raging, except for the magic academy located high up. After a disaster, no building below was spared. You can almost guess this just by looking at the incomplete and ruined building remains.
I don’t know why, but this layout reminds Duanmuhuai of the Manalia Magic Academy. The layout there is similar to this - the Magic Academy is located at the highest point in the entire region, with a long bridge connecting it to the outside world. The lower areas below are living areas such as towns.
Could it be that all magic academies across the universe are like this?
It was getting late now, and under the dim night, only the brilliance of the golden tree still shone. Speaking of which, it was strange that there were four seasons, day and night underground. And all this seems to be caused by the golden tree. During the day, its brilliance will be more dazzling, like the sun. At night, its brilliance will become dim, more like the brilliance of the night scene in the city. .
"…………"
At this moment, Duanmuhuai looked back, squinted his eyes, and stared ahead.
"Ta... Ta... Ta... Ta..."
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
Under the radiance like a bright moon, a huge figure slowly appeared in front of Duanmuhuai. It was a cavalry wearing dark armor. He was riding a tall horse, and the entire war horse was also covered in black. Wrapped in curtains, it looks like a ghost. It just stared at Duanmuhuai, with a murderous intent flashing in its eyes.
The one who comes is not kind.
Duanmu Huai chuckled, grabbed the war hammer in his hand, and stared at the enemy in front of him.
"It's just right. I ate too much just now. Let's use it for exercise after cooking."
