After listening to Farasi's question, the octopus waiter in charge of driving calmly explained: "Dear Madam, it seems that you have some misunderstandings about this rule of our city. Without this city, maybe We have to live in the feud between tribes all day long for food, women and territory. The dead can only become food, and the life of his family will probably be more miserable. Compared with the stable life now , I believe that the vast majority of people in this city will feel satisfied. As for me rejecting this lady’s tip, it is because driving is the simplest profession, and the price we pay for it is not worth exchanging more from you. In return, although Ebbston is a city where money comes first, that does not mean we will be unbridled greedy.”
The words of the octopus waiter once again shocked the hearts of Farasi and others. If Ryan and the others were still a little resistant to this rule or uncomfortable at the beginning, then this feeling has completely disappeared now. Since all this Reasonable existence in front of one's own eyes, then it means that these laws have their meaning. Maybe these laws are unfair to outsiders, but for these ordinary creatures living in this environment, no matter how unfair they are, Rules are better than no rules at all,
From the door of the Troglodyte Bar to sitting at the table in the corner of the bar hall, Ryan has been thinking about this issue. He remembered that he once heard the druid Alando talk about a past event in human history, Regarding an incident caused by changing the laws of nature, it is said that many years ago, the wife of a certain human lord felt cruel after seeing the wind wolf killing the snow velvet rabbit in the territory, so she persuaded her husband, who was the lord. Ordered to kill the wind wolves in the territory. With the Lord's order, the wind wolves in the territory will naturally become extinct soon. It stands to reason that without the natural enemy of the wind wolf, the snow velvet rabbit should be able to live a very happy life. However, it is a pity that this so-called good life did not last long. Not long after blindly expanding the population, the increasing number of snow velvet rabbits eventually turned the lord's large pasture directly into a wasteland, and the snow rabbits lost their basis for survival. The velvet rabbit naturally died out in that territory quickly.
Green grass, edelweiss rabbit, wind wolf, this food chain itself is the survival law given by nature. From the perspective of outsiders, saving the edelweiss rabbit, which is in a weak position in the entire food chain, is a great thing. The final result should not be regretted. But it was the destruction of the entire development that led to the collapse of this harmonious environment. Now in the underwater world, in this fallen city, Ryan once again felt the power of the law until sitting at the table in the lobby of the Troglodyte Bar, Ryan's heart Still thinking about the past incident that Allendo said,
As his own strength continues to grow, Ryan is increasingly able to feel the origin of power. He has vaguely felt that the true absolute strength is not to shatter the earth with a punch, or to turn the sea into mulberry fields with a forbidden spell, but to formulate a plan. Laws that all things in the world have to abide by. Mortals often use "defying nature and resisting gods" as a symbol of bravery and fearlessness. However, as a legendary strongman, Ryan knows very well that this is just a lie made up by the bard himself.
That night in the Fernando City Palace, the soul of Ibel, which represented the power of order, and the plane projection of the demigod lich, which represented the power of chaos. These two completely extreme forces had a terrible collision in front of Ryan's eyes. , but it was a pity that Ryan was not strong enough at that time, and it was difficult to understand the effects of the "Great Prophecy" that formulated the rules and the "Great Collapse" that destroyed the rules. However, when Ryan successfully entered the legendary realm, and in this realm As he continued to grow, every detail of that night began to reappear in his mind. Every time he thought about the past, it made Ryan think deeply, but he was never able to truly and thoroughly understand what was in it. There's always something missing,
This feeling of being visible but unable to truly "touch" made Ryan very depressed. He also knew very well that this increase in strength could not be achieved overnight, even if he had teacher Jialibu's personal guidance and timely guidance. He once saw that kind of power colliding in front of him, but it would take a long time to really understand and use those powers proficiently. This is also the reason why Ryan traveled thousands of miles to the underwater world, because he and the powerful Fighting opponents can shorten the process of becoming stronger. According to the hateful demon general, the thousand-year war is about to begin, and there is not much time left for Ryan.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Ryan, who was deep in thought, was woken up by Faras beside him. His consciousness returned to reality, but he found that his group was already sitting in the corner of a hall. He looked around , and found that everyone was looking at him. In addition, there was a respectful lizard waiter standing next to the table, obviously waiting for him to order.
"Whatever, whatever you want." Ryan said a few words towards Tisilis,
"Okay, I'll have some." Tisilis asked Ryan to order first. It was just a sign of respect for him. Now that she had Ryan's words, she took the initiative to take on this matter: "I want smoked turtle meat for the appetizer." And halibut caviar, plus some kelp and red seaweed. As for the main course, well, it’s fried tiger shark ribs and baked lobster. For dessert, let’s have 7 cheese puddings. We won’t drink any more. Let’s have a glass of squid juice each.”
The lizardman waiter carefully recorded every word Ticelis said, and then left quickly. Not long after, the lizardman waiter pushed the cart back to Ticelis' table, with quick hands and feet. The food ordered by Tisilis was brought up one after another. Ryan took a closer look and found that there were black bacon, solidified into bits of sauce, and colorful plants that looked like vegetables. And a big cup of black **,
"These are just appetizers before the meal. After all, the main course I ordered takes time to cook, so I will use them to kill time." As the host, Tisilis naturally greeted Ryan and the others enthusiastically, and she introduced them one by one. Said: "This black thing is smoked turtle meat. You can dip it in some caviar made from halibut eggs. Although this stuff has a fishy smell when you eat it at first, I promise you will get better as long as you eat more." Fall in love with the umami flavor that explodes in your mouth, and the kelp and seaweed cut into small pieces have different flavors, so you might as well taste it slowly.”
"Then what is this black thing?" Natasha asked in a low voice.
"Haha, this is juice squeezed from squid, but it has a lot of special ingredients added, so it tastes very good." Tisiris replied with a smile,
"Then you have to taste it." Farasi said this with a chuckle, picked up the large glass of squid juice and took a sip. There was no peculiar smell at all after entering the mouth, but instead there was a kind of smell that said "No" from the body. The warm feeling that came out made her look refreshed. After nodding lightly to express her praise, Faras inserted a piece of smoked turtle meat with a tableware, dipped some caviar in it and put it into her mouth. Based on Farasi's status in the human world, he has tasted these foods more or less, but whether it is turtle meat or caviar, the taste is naturally different from what is produced in the underwater world, especially the flounder that Tisilis specially recommends. Zijiang, along with the fresh taste that comes after the fishy smell spreads in the mouth, makes people feel a hint of wild impulse in their hearts, and has a unique flavor.
After the main course was served, Tisilis' lobster eating performance made Ryan, Faras and others even more happy. She could completely peel off the shell of the lobster and place it next to it in a certain way. , after Tisilis finished enjoying the delicious gravy of the whole lobster, another new lobster appeared in front of her, but it only had the shell left. Faras could barely do this, and Ryan was There was nothing he could do anyway. His fingers, which could release powerful forbidden magic, completely lost their ability in the battle against the lobster. In the end, Tisilis had to help him peel off the snow-white lobster meat. a paragraph,
This is the first time for Ryan and the others to have a formal meal in a city in the underwater world. Although they have temporarily camped before, they just killed some prey in the sea outside and roasted it casually over the fire. It is impossible to just use it to fill their stomachs and here. The delicacies carefully prepared by the chefs were comparable to each other, so Ryan and the others were all smiling. If they had not been concerned about their identity as cat people who did not belong to the underwater world, I am afraid that Natasha and her sisters would have opened the clothes they were wearing. The cloak feasted,
Avro kept her head down and slowly ate the food in front of her. She didn't touch all the meat in front of her. She only ate some kelp and seaweed. She didn't even enjoy the dessert. I don't know if it was because of her appetite. The reason was for some reason. It was only when Tisilis took the initiative to help Ryan peel the lobster that the sand girl raised her head and looked at Ryan in the cloak with a somewhat surprised look, and then again She lowered her head, as if nothing had happened, but in Avro's heart she was very surprised. Although she didn't know Tisiris's true identity, she was still impressed by her well-educated mannerisms and manners. But it also made Avro understand that Tisilis's identity was by no means simple. However, such a noble Naga woman had unusual respect for an ugly old tiefling man. This feeling was not just admiration. To describe it, Avro even used the word "please".
Yes, Avro discovered that Tisilis's every move towards Ryan and every word she said was subtly trying to please this tiefling. Not only that, but every move of Faras and others around Ryan All of them also showed that they had received some kind of etiquette training, but all of them were always dominated by the tiefling with rude actions. Not only did they not have any complaints about his various unethical actions, but they were unusually tolerant. Him, which made Avro very interested in Ryan's true identity,
But it seems that today is not a good time to think about problems. Just when Avro was thinking hard about Ryan's identity, and just when Ryan and others were about to enjoy a sumptuous meal of exotic food, an annoying voice rang beside them. : "Master, this is the girl. Among the three girls who ran away from our Chamber of Commerce, she was the only one who has not been recovered."
