Chapter 124 Blocking
Li Chengqi seems to have no qualifications to criticize Aldai for squatting at home. Since he returned home from college and opened a convenience store, he rarely goes out and spends most of his time squatting behind the cashier. type.
I usually rely on nearby small restaurants for meals. After looking at the coupons Gan Xiaoyan brought me, I suddenly felt like eating barbecue.
The store opening discount was mainly to attract people. There were still only a few people who went to eat barbecue at noon. Li Chengqi took the barbecue home without queuing.
However, when looking at most advertisements, it’s nice to look at the posters, but that’s about it when you actually eat them.
The main reason is that the taste is not distinctive, and it is easy to lose business to peers.
The catering industry is all about repeat customers. If it doesn’t have the characteristics to retain people, it probably won’t last long. Li Chengqi even felt that it was not as delicious as the barbecue stall that Jiu Ke moved in to cover the investigation the night Qian Sen was injured.
The only distinctive thing about it is that even when it was packed to go home, the iron tags used by others were not left behind, and Li Chengqi was taken away directly.
Maybe it’s because the purchase price is relatively cheap.
Li Chengqi put the uneaten portion in plastic wrap and stuffed it in the refrigerator. He could heat it up in his own oven in the evening so he could have another meal. After he finished eating, he carefully cleaned the iron skewers.
If you want to eat skewers again in the future, you can use this thing to bake them yourself.
Of course, the idea is one thing, and whether or not you can do it is another matter. Anyway, the only function of Li Chengqi's oven after buying it is to roast sweet potatoes.
After going out for a trip and coming back for dinner, when I looked at the situation in the game, Yang Yiyi was still sitting cross-legged and meditating.
To be honest, if you do this, your legs really won’t go numb...
I asked Father Eagle and he said that this is normal and usually lasts all day.
There is still a meeting over at Viola, and Aldee is continuing to publish her paper.
The idle game is like this. It doesn't have too much room for manipulation like other types of games, and it doesn't "find troubles" like other games.
So Li Chengqi took a few glances and decided to pass the time by watching dramas on his mobile phone.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.
May 19th, night.
The meeting lasted almost a whole day, but Viola didn't come to Sailing City just for the meeting.
Not long ago, she stood on the terrace of the castle and gave an impassioned speech to the soldiers lined up below to boost their morale.
‘For the Demon Kingdom! ’ ‘For Her Royal Highness the Princess! ’ ‘For victory! ’ ‘To drive away the invaders! ’
In the loud shouts of the soldiers, morale did improve.
Although it is indeed a bit strange to have a military parade near the evening.
The main reason why the schedule is so tight is because Viola does not plan to stay in Sailing City for too long. She has already made a reservation to leave by boat early tomorrow morning.
The reason has been mentioned before. Viola is harmless to humans and animals when she stays in Leon's territory. If she comes out, it will be a flag, a flag that can not only inspire the will to resist, but also be attacked by the enemy.
So in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, she would only stay for one night.
But even in such a hurry, City Lord Walter still prepared a banquet.
Viola doesn't like banquets, because they are all about the flattery and intrigue of the nobles, and nothing practical is done at all.
But this level of socialization is necessary. Although Walter is still loyal to the royal family sincerely, it does not mean that there are no surrender factions in Sailing City. Viola's existence can shock them and make these people calm down, so her Showing up is very necessary.
"Just stay here and wait for me."
"Your Highness, don't you need help from your subordinates?"
"I can still wear just a formal dress myself."
In front of a locker room, Viola left Xuelin, Hill and several knight guards behind. They had just checked the situation in the locker room and confirmed the safety. As a princess, Viola seems to need the service of a maid to get dressed. However, in fact, Viola has been extremely self-disciplined since she was a child. As long as she can solve things by herself, she usually does not bother others. She has already formed a habit. If someone helps change clothes, she will You will feel uncomfortable all over.
She walked into the dressing room and closed the door. Two long clothes racks were placed on the floor, filled with dresses of different colors and styles for Viola to choose from.
At this time, Viola showed her female side, and she must have spent a little time choosing the dress.
At this moment, where Viola hadn't noticed, a shadow 'crawled out' from under the shadow of the light, squirming silently along the floor, without attracting any attention, and easily came to Viola's side. Behind his back, a blackened short blade emerged from the shadows.
But just a second before she was about to succeed, Viola, who was choosing a dress, was suddenly stunned, then turned around and kicked her without hesitation.
The assassin who tried to make a sneak attack did not expect that Viola actually discovered him. Viola, who was still wearing iron boots, kicked the dagger away, and the strong force also pulled the man out of the shadows.
"Ah...what a surprise, you can actually find me?"
This man was dressed in a waiter's uniform and looked like a young servant working in the castle, but he made a hoarse voice as if he had undergone throat cancer surgery.
"Who are you!"
Fortunately, Viola did not wear regular clothes when speaking in front of the soldiers, but put on her own armor. This was to make her look closer to the soldiers.
So Viola is now fully armed, reaching out and pulling out the magic sword called the Vermilion Fang.
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the door behind the man. She had deliberately asked loudly just now in order to let the guards guarding the door rush in.
"Don't waste your efforts. Your guards can't get in and can't be heard."
The man pulled out another dagger from his waist: "I am the fang of my Lord. The moment when the poison is injected is obviously the most beautiful, but you ruined this sweet moment. But it doesn't matter, I will correct it. This error."
As soon as he stepped down, he rushed towards Viola.
When Viola immediately raised her sword reflexively, a large cloud of green smoke exploded from the man's body and instantly filled the entire dressing room.
Ordinary toxins are useless to high-level demons. Even a small amount of inhaled poison that would kill the strongest dwarf is just a sneeze and has almost no effect on high-level demons.
So Viola was not worried about the poison in the smoke. She was more worried that the assassin would use the cover of the smoke to launch a surprise attack from an invisible position.
For a moment, the air behind the side stirred up. Viola was keenly aware of it, and she immediately blocked it with her sword.
"Not bad, the response was quick."
The man just touched the sword's edge lightly, and then was submerged in the smoke again, disappearing from Viola's sight.
Viola has seen this kind of swordsmanship before.
"It's an assassination sword. What's your relationship with Roy?"
"Roy?"
The man's hoarse and somewhat confused voice came from the smoke.
"I don't know, maybe he's just a bastard."
Could it be that the other party is not just one or two people, but an entire organization?
Viola realized the key from the brief conversation, but the focus now is not on this, but on how to escape.
Viola immediately raised a hand, and sacred spiritual light burst out from her fingers, wrapping Viola like a coat of light, forming a palm-shaped holy emblem above her head.
This is the divine grace, and Viola intends to use it to enhance the user's ability to blow away smoke for one minute.
But before she could make any move, she immediately noticed that the divine holy light was distorted as if it had been disturbed, and finally turned into countless light spots and disappeared.
"It's useless. My Lord's power has blocked the Demon King's magic. Just let Him watch how I kill you... Hahahahahahahaha."
Viola felt a strong crisis this time, because the voice of the Demon King that was still echoing in her heart just now suddenly disappeared...
