The ban on the blockade of Embassy Street was certainly not lifted. However, this is the so-called "protection" rather than imprisonment, and neither Iken's army nor the current Oakland Janissary can really seal off the entire street, and no entry or exit is allowed. There are always some people who can still pass freely after going through layers of inspections. For example, freight vehicles that deliver daily necessities to embassies; For example, the staff of the embassy who normally go out to purchase; Another example is an intelligence gatherer disguised as an ordinary staff member who goes out to the outside world to listen to gossip and the latest news, such as Mr. Firk.

"Look at what you're talking about, I'm not an intelligence officer, but just an ordinary staff member of the federal embassy." "The reason why people don't stop me is because I'm not only a member of the foreign party, but also a good friend of the Praetorian knights guarding over there. They knew I had a habit of coming here in the morning, so they opened up. ”

…… In other words, the knights of the Forbidden Army changed their guards in the early hours of this morning to replace Emperor Iken, right? In just a few hours, you became good friends with dozens of people, and they calmly accepted the premise that you were going to eat at a small restaurant in a remote alley in the morning? Well, this kind of enigmatic social ability can already be regarded as brainwashing, right?

Of course, the system Kryptonite Dog Eye told Lu Xi as early as three years ago that this Mr. Firk was an ordinary person with no combat ability, an "ordinary" embassy staff, a (at least in position) very mediocre, and a diplomat who was just a grassroots staff member at the age of retirement. And now, it still says so.

Well, anyway, there are a lot of unscientific existences in this world that cannot be explained today. We just have to accept it calmly. Then just smile.

Mr. Fürk's place of hospitality was in a neighborhood south of Radiant Square and Embassy Street, near the Solmis River, which runs through the city. Compared to most of the magnificent monumental buildings in the north of the imperial capital. The houses here are low and old, and they are considered to be a rare and relatively civilian neighborhood in the northern city of God. Across the river. Looking at the southern city with a similar style and scenery here, it has a feeling of complementing each other.

I really can't run it! Compared to the wealthy merchants and chaebols of Neosfia, the nobles of Auckland are simply weak in terms of aspects. Lu Xi thought. With such a good geographical location and scenery near the river, it is not open to a luxurious commercial area and a super boutique residential area, but there are still these that look very dick, what kind of civilian community with a history of at least a thousand years wants to make trouble? If it were me, I would have hired thugs to demolish it a long time ago! Otherwise, how do you think the gorgeous urban atmosphere of the capital of the seven seas is maintained?

Crossing the street and walking down the alley, you can already see the small pier and fence by the river, and the breakfast shop recommended by Mr. Ferk is right in front of you.

"It's more than 300 years old." Mr. Filk explained to Lu Xi: "The manager and chef has never changed since the day the store opened, and it took three centuries of precipitation for such a delicacy. Nature has entered the realm. Of course, in the eyes of the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial capital Beicheng, this kind of restaurant may be difficult to get into the elegant hall, and the ordinary citizens of the southern city rarely come to the northern city, so the store has not expanded. In a sense, maybe that's a good thing, right? Only in this way of doing business calmly and freely can we ensure the authenticity of the store and the food. ”

At first glance, it sounds like a food shop with a very geeky way of running, and the owner of this type of small shop is very capricious. The meal is estimated to be very capricious, and it is unlikely to make a lot of money, but the guests who like this way will definitely not be able to die-hard. It's an interesting setting.

However, the store manager has not changed for 300 years...... It can only mean that it is an immortal species, right? That's a bit rare. After all, the Oakland Empire is also dominated by humans. The more traditional ancient civilization is not a country of immigrants with a history of only a few hundred years. Foreign settlers in this empire are not absent, but they are naturally rare compared to the large population base. What's more, it is an early shop that opened an early shop that is not very profitable in the north of the imperial capital city near the river.

As Lu Xi imagined, the shop in this restaurant is indeed not large. It's just a twenty or thirty square meter storefront. However, because it is near the river, the street by the river is also occupied by this shop as a matter of course. As a result, there is an additional open-air dining area. Without such a strong divine army as the chengguan, the citizens can naturally get a little bit of the country's advantage in a grand manner. Of course, since it is winter, it is estimated that no one will be brain-dead enough to run to the side of the street to blow the river breeze that is about to freeze, and the open-air area is naturally empty.

This shop is small, and the interior decoration is very tasteful. Pale light blue, like a summer lake, with elegant pendants and paintings hanging on the walls, vases and flowers on each table, exuding a fragrance. This is a time when the chill of winter is far from subsiding, and it is actually a more luxurious enjoyment than cherishing the ingredients. All in all, the style of small fresh breath is blowing in the face, but it is by no means pretentious little bourgeois, but clearly a kind of low-key elegance and comfort. Those with no taste can feel the real comfort, and those with taste will be amazed by the design.

Just like the store, there aren't many staff. Two well-dressed and cleanly dressed girls in their twenties are waiters, two helpers in the background, and the owner himself, who is also the chef and accountant, cashier, and lobby manager, these are all the staff of this store.

A group of people, four people and a minotaur just found an empty table and sat down, and the boss greeted him. Obviously, she should have had a good relationship with Mr. Felke, and when she saw that the latter had just sat down in the room, she greeted him with a very bright and crisp smile, and greeted her: "It is rare for you to bring a friend here today, a guest from heaven?" ”

Yes, the boss is a lady with a face value of at least 90 points, and from the outside, she is just a beautiful young woman in her thirties, and she is the age when a woman ages the most gorgeous taste. Her features are delicate and bright, almost inhuman, full of a three-dimensional sculptural beauty, and she has short brown hair that is dark and full of ears. It looks very capable, and it has a handsome look like a beautiful boy. And this also exposes the slender and sharp ear wheels.

Lu Xike is really familiar with this kind of good-looking race, he has lived in Norda for more than ten years. They are the ones I see every day. Now that I see another one, I really have a sense of embarrassment when a fellow sees a fellow countryman...... What, you say that Nicole is also a Norda elf, and she can see it every day? No, no, no, although the "Lin Ge family" of the Nicole and Tido sisters is the legitimate ruler of the Norda elves, the golden blood on their bodies comes from the royal descendants of the ancient elven empire. Strictly speaking, they are not exactly the same race as the silver-blooded Norda Elves. The same is true for the descendants of the ancient elven royal families such as Valinor, Finor, and Hill Vati of the High Elves of Twilight Isle. Purely in terms of bloodline, they are closer to the blood of the Night Elves of the complete golden race.

Although it has gone through several generations of intermarriage. The new generation of members of the Lin Ge family is getting closer and closer to ordinary Nolda elves, for example, Nicole has very Noorda's long brown hair, but those vibrant green eyes full of life magic are not ordinary wood elves can grow.

Compared with the ordinary Norda elves, Sister Tido and Nicole, the sisters of the Lin Ge family, are more fairy in appearance and temperament, and there is always a taste that does not eat fireworks in the world...... Of course, this is only limited to when you don't speak.

Lu Xi has a feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, not to mention Nicole and the proprietress naturally. As a matter of fact. When the two saw each other, they were stunned by each other, and then gradually showed a look of surprise. Nicole, who has no heart and lungs, is just happy because she sees her hometown, and the other party is in a surprise. But with a different ingredient - similar to the kind of surprise and helplessness of seeing a big person.

"Oh, you're a wood elf too?" The elf girl ran up and grabbed the other party's hand very affectionately: "I can actually meet my hometown here." That's great! ”

"Yes, it was a pleasure to meet you...... Your Highness! The last "honorific title". The voice was so small that only she could hear it, but it couldn't hide Lu Xi's perception.

I was held so by my own princess. The proprietress seemed to feel a little rude, and she wanted to break free but couldn't, so she could only let Nicole pull it like this. Now that she had recognized Nicole, her gaze naturally stopped on Lu Xi's face: "So, you are the one, right?" The only human who can own the Ringo. Originally, I was a little unimpressed by this, but why did I take it for granted when I saw you? ”

yes, why? Because my buff is really a god blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas? I really can't explain this kind of thing!

The elf proprietress really seemed very happy, and couldn't help but throw a amorous look at Mr. Felk and rewarded: "You are quite capable of leading people!" I can't even think of a distinguished guest with such a gift, do you want me to give you a 9% discount on breakfast this year? ”

"I thought you would at least give it to me for free." Mr. Filke is very useful for the lady's flattery, but he is still helpless about her stinginess.

The proprietress directly ignored the other party and smiled at everyone: "Since there are people from hometown here, let's go upstairs, that is a place to chat." ”

In other words, all the guests in the restaurant downstairs are idle people. If you really open your door to do business, you will definitely offend a large number of customers by talking like this. Sure enough, as soon as the proprietress said this, many guests began to protest loudly, and this dignified Norda elf beautiful young woman also took out the pungent and mouth cannon skills that are absolutely no less than any human aunt.

Of course, in Lu Xi's opinion, this bickering is mostly in the nature of joking and ridiculing each other. Obviously, the guests present are all regular customers of this elf proprietress , and many of them may still be her brainless fans, the kind of shaking M who doesn't think about tea and rice when they don't see her every day or are sprayed with a meal.

When the villagers came, the happy Sai (Roxia) floated, and the elf proprietress who was doing business very willfully simply didn't even take care of the shop on the first floor, so she threw it to her employees and took everyone to the second floor, which is also the private residence of the proprietress.

Mr. Filke said he was hurt. He told Lu Xi that he had worked in the federal embassy for ten years, and had eaten breakfast at this restaurant for more than eight years, and he would inevitably come to check in almost every day, rain or shine. But even so. The hostess never took him up to the second floor either.

"This is justice that belongs only to the protagonist!" Lu Xi sighed and patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly. But also said that this kind of welfare. He's definitely not going to miss it.

The decoration style on the second floor is also very similar to the restaurant downstairs, comfortable and elegant, but it is no different at first glance. However, this is absolutely impossible to hide from the protagonist who has kryptonite dog eyes, he just glanced around, and was confused by the trench here. If the downstairs is low-key and elegant, then the upstairs is naturally a typical low-key luxury.

Because of the kryptonite dog eye, Lu Xi, who has already exploded all the archaeology and appraisal masters in terms of identification ability, only needs to scan one to know that these chairs, furniture, and benches in the room look very ordinary. All of them are antiquities with years and origins, whether it is material workmanship or inheritance, they are definitely priceless antiques. Those vases, wall clocks, figurines and other small ornaments are not mentioned, even the most worthless eagle-headed angel statue with a high arm, which is at least 200 years old. As for the oil paintings hanging on the walls, they are all unknown works of famous artists of the past dynasties - if they are brought to the world, they will definitely bring a subversive impact to the world art world.

To put it bluntly, this second floor seems to be the residence of the wood elf proprietress hostess, but it is already equivalent to a small private museum full of treasures. Just by virtue of the objects here. Even if it was sold at the lowest market price, it was enough for her to live the most luxurious life in the north of the imperial capital - but even so, she still guarded a small restaurant that didn't make much money, and lived a willful and calm life.

You really want to be an ordinary restaurateur. I gouged out my kryptonite eyes and drank Panarsis...... Well, speaking of which, that fat snow leopard was thrown into the ranks of the army. I wonder if Karin's subordinates will feed him on time? Lu Xi thought so wildly, and when he opened his gaze to sweep the other party. Rao is such a well-informed protagonist as him, and he can't help but be slightly stunned.

The strength of the Golden Tier 7? Well. It's not surprising that all hermits should have two brushes. Elven hunter and war dancer, it's no surprise that this kind of person can catch a lot of them in the Nolda elves at will...... However, what the hell is this level 30 "Evergreen Walker" at the end?

The proprietress naturally noticed Lu Xi's gaze, but she simply understood this as the amazement of a knowledgeable person to see so many priceless antiques and works of art, and immediately smiled calmly: "This is life." I've lived in Seroxia for over 400 years, and Auckland and the City of Radiance are my second home. Prior to this, I had served five Auckland Emperors, all of whom were generous employers, and I was able to save this money. But now that I think about it, the eight living blocks in the court are all echoes, but they are not the peace I really want. After the death of my last benefactor, I left the palace with my savings and made a home here. The neighbors didn't know about my past, but they were all very friendly! I watched most of my friends grow old, sick and die, and watched the next group of friends grow up slowly, and I spent 300 years of peace and quiet. ”

She told an epic story in a very calm tone and simple sentences, which is not very exciting at first glance, but it is magnificent and moving when you look back carefully. Lu Xi looked at the restaurant proprietress who looked like a young woman of no more than thirty, looked directly at the eyes full of stories, pondered for a moment, and suddenly pointed to an oil painting on the right wall, and said, "That one is your last benefactor, right?" ”

It was a young woman who was gorgeous from appearance to decoration to temperament to expression to unscrupulous and undisguised, and her demeanor and movements were vivid and lifelike. She wore a very typical Auckland royal style gorgeous palace dress, wore the crown of "Radiance of the Holy Spring" on her head, which symbolized the supreme position of Auckland, and held the scepter of "Son of Radiance" representing the supreme glory of mankind in her hand.

Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that in addition to the last empress of the Holy Auckland Empire three hundred years ago, the "Yan Emperor" Jezebeth II, there can also be the empress of the Holy Spring Dynasty, who will have such a look and aura.

Everyone was a little surprised, and even Mr. Firk looked surprised, apparently it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

What a pathetic! Lu Xi looked at the senior staff member of the federal embassy with sympathetic eyes. Obviously, this personable middle-aged beautiful uncle has some thoughts about the proprietress and brings Lu Xi and others over this time, on the one hand, it may really be like getting closer to himself, and on the other hand, he is also trying to find a way to get closer to the sister paper...... But looking at this, the proprietress should not have any idea about Mr. Firk, otherwise she would not have hidden the secret of her net worth so deeply.

The elf proprietress nodded very calmly and pointed to the seat in front of her, "Please take a seat, everyone." Looking at this, we're going to talk for a long time today. (To be continued.) )
