Chapter 18 I heard rumors at the door
In my previous life, although I was an otaku, it doesn't mean that I am only interested in romantic action movies.
Magic is another hobby of mine.
I can't do things like changing a living person, splitting a body of five horses, etc., but I'm still very keen on small tricks like changing a playing card and moving a coin.
Especially after coming to this world, I used my idle and boring time to this, and I became proficient in the original clumsy tricks to the point of reaching the peak.
Even compared to those great magicians in the previous life, it is not far behind.
These tricks are used to tease the group of little white people in front of them who have no knowledge of magic, and they are simply handy.
Looking at their eager expressions, I laughed three times in my heart.
Xindao Lao Tzu also has such an awesome day!
He groaned, and delayed for about seventeen or eighteen seconds, and looked at the eyes of the diners, and there was a look of horror and obscenity that said, 'The big axe in my hand is already hungry and thirsty, and if you don't tell us where the gold coins are going, the consequences will beβhey, hey, hey, hey."
I borrowed a sharp kitchen knife from the proprietress and blew the blade lightly, with a weird smile on the corner of my mouth.
In front of everyone, put the blade close to the mouth of the fried sardine, gently press the index finger of the left hand on the body of the fish, and use a slight force on the right wrist.
The body of the fish did not move, but from the mouth of the fish to the tail of the fish, a very thin line was connected, and the fried sardine was divided into two parts.
There was a brief cheer from the diners: Good Kung Fu!
I asked the proprietress for another plate, and with a kitchen knife, I gently lifted half of the fried sardines and put them in it.
There was silence for about a second or so.
"Good!"
The diners were boiling in an instant.
For they saw that the other half was lying quietly on top of the sardine bones on the plate, and there was a gold coin lying quietly.
It's as if you were born there from the beginning.
"You, how did you do that?"
The elven young man who helped identify the gold coins was very curious, he looked at me, and asked the question from the bottom of his heart with some eagerness.
"It's a secret."
I smiled mysteriously, nodded to him instead, and said, "Thank you for your help, though." β
The elven youth sighed with a little regret.
"Now!"
Looking up, I suddenly raised my voice, and the cafΓ© diners fell silent again, looking at me with excitement and curiosity in their eyes.
"I want to dedicate the sardines in my hand to my beloved girl!"
With the plate in hand, I walked slowly back to the table, polite as a waiter.
"This plate is dedicated to our lovely and lively Queen Barbara!"
The diners cheered.
In the midst of the noise, I gently handed the plate in front of Barbara, and looking at her little face that was so excited that it turned red, I offered my greetings: "May she be like a cheerful bird, always lively, always happy!" β
"This one!"
I raised my voice, once again suppressing the cheers of the diners.
"Dedicated to our beautiful and kind Phoenix Queen!"
Watching the phoenix's expression change from anger to surprise, I once again offered my congratulations.
"May she be like a free fish, always rejoicing and always happy!"
Once again, the diners cheered wildly.
I saw that little Lori Lily's big eyes flashed with stars, and Loki was so excited that he almost didn't kneel down to worship, his thumbs were raised high at me, and he shouted excitedly: "Boss, boss, mighty, worship, boss!" β
Turning my head, the proprietress was shaking her head and smiling at me, as if she was complimenting me: 'What a cunning little devil' or something.
I closed my right eye proudly, grinned, and under the light, a bright light flashed from the big tooth.
It was already eleven o'clock that night when I walked out of the cafΓ©.
Although she still maintained a faint dissatisfaction with the phoenix that had taken over half of the fish, Barbara was still very excited, and the cat's ears on both sides kept spinning and turning, waving to me as I left.
The proprietress leaned against the door with her arms in her arms, her face full of horizontal flesh stretched, revealing a helpless smile, for a long time, she sighed, and said to herself: "What a cunning little ghost." β
Phoenix sat on Squeak's back, humming a little song with no melody.
Next to her, lay the cute and cute Lily.
Little Lori is too strong to drink, and after drinking a sip of fruit wine, she fell asleep soundly, and she didn't wake up until now, if it weren't for her happy mouth, I thought she had returned to the west.
Loki was bored, fiddling with the fire gun in his hand while taking rhythmic steps.
With one hand in my pocket, I looked up at the moon in the sky, and every now and then I would take a sip of a jug full of fruit wine.
The taste of this fruit wine is very similar to the grape juice of the previous life, it is very low, very sweet, very refreshing, and it also gives off an intoxicating aroma.
According to the proprietress of the proprietor, the fruit used to make this wine is called Purple Pearl, which is a specialty in the east of the continent and is harvested twice a year.
The high-quality fruit is sold as fresh fruit, while the unsightly ones are sent to the brewery for processing, and a batch of these wines can be successfully fermented in about two months.
Before parting, the proprietress also specially handed me a string of fresh purple pearls.
However, only one of these purple pearls came into my hand, and the rest had already entered the phoenix's belly.
Looking at the purple-black prototype fruit shaped like a grape, a touch of nostalgia rose in my heart.
In a trance, the full moon in the sky seemed to be flawed.
When I got home and finished washing, Phoenix hugged Lily, who was sleeping like a puppy, and didn't let go, and wanted to sleep with the cute thing.
In desperation, I had to clean up another room and rest with Loki.
The night is deep, but there is no sleep.
I looked at the ceiling, which was blue in the moonlight, in a daze.
"Boss, are you sleeping?"
Loki's voice was not loud, but it was sober, and it was clear that he was not sleepy.
"Nope."
I replied.
"Boss, you are so majestic today, especially your magic trick, I look stupid."
Hehe.
I chuckled.
"By the way, boss, where did you learn that magic, I haven't heard of it, can you teach me sometime?"
After a moment of silence, I hummed.
Some are homesick.
"Loki."
"What's the matter, Boss?"
"Where's your home?"
I paused, realized that I was not clear, and said, "It's the place where you used to live." β
"Home."
Loki's voice seemed nostalgic, but still full of strangeness.
"I don't remember."
Loki scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
I can hear that he is playing dumb, but I am not easy to ask.
The topic ended again, and I had to say 'hehe' very helplessly.
"Boss."
Loki's voice rang out again, as if he had something to say.
"Sleep."
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
"Thank you."
I didn't answer, but I understood what he meant.
Early the next morning, I was cooking in the kitchen, Phoenix was wearing silk pajamas, rubbing her eyes with one hand, holding the ragdoll-like Lily in the other, staggering behind me, leaning on my back with her little head, smelling the fragrance from the pot, and asking me vaguely, "What are you eating today?" β
"Beef stew."
In an instant, a pair of sleepy eyes, which were still in a state of worry, shone brightly.
"Yummy!"
Phoenix's joyful arms swayed up and down, and the little Lori in her hand had already been shaken to the point of dizziness, foaming at the mouth, and a pair of cute big eyes kept turning in circles.
"Hey, be careful, don't shake Lily to death."
I kindly reminded her.
"Huh?"
He raised his hand and stared at it for a moment, then let out an exclamation of 'ah'.
She reacted naturally, and the cute thing in her hand was not a rag doll at all, but a little Lori who was about to hang up.
"Lily, don't die, Lily, your life is so miserable!"
I covered my face helplessly, I really didn't know what to say to her.
When the meal was ready, Loki was still asleep, the snot in his nostrils floating in the air, and the saliva from the corners of his mouth was about to flood his earlobes.
"Loki, get up and eat."
I nudged Loki, who was sleeping soundly.
"Don't touch me."
In his sleep, Loki's face was soaring, and he couldn't stop muttering: "I'm the great musketeer, Lord Loki, you all come and kneel and lick me!" β
I have an extra 'tic-tac-toe' on my forehead.
With patience, he reached out again and gave Loki a push
"A few of you, yes, that's it, shout out to me, 'Long live the great Lord Loki,' wahahahahaha
My forehead was instantly covered with the word 'tic-tac-toe'.
The position above the nose quickly blackened in seconds, and the furious state turned on, and the joints of both hands made a soft clicking sound.
The warm-up is complete.
The big dojo trembled, and the room lasted for nearly ten minutes, screaming like a pig.
When I left the room smiling, there was a terrible creature lying on the floor. If you can identify him based on his appearance alone, it is estimated that even his grandmother will find it difficult to identify who he is.
Little Lori Lili, who was serving rice in the living room, looked up with her little face, and the phoenix with mosquito voices: "Sister Phoenix, what kind of sound is this?" β
Phoenix thought for a while, and said to Lily seriously: "It should be a pig's cry, your brother Xiaoyi killed a pig." β
"There's pork to eat!"
Lily opened her starry eyes and cheered.
After eating, Loki followed me with a flattering face and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After all the preparations were made, the group drove to the adventurer's base - there was no update of the ability value last night.
Before entering the gate, some rumors flowed into the ears.
"Did you hear about it, something happened in the dungeon yesterday."
"What's wrong?"
"It looks like it's dead."
"Isn't it normal for dungeons to die?"
"By the way, the dungeon is so dangerous, you don't have to die a few people who don't have long eyes one day."
"It's not as simple as you think, I heard that a whole team is dead."
"What! It's really fake, they won't be wiped out by the boss group. β
"It doesn't seem to be a boss, and I don't know exactly what the situation is."
"Hey, what the hell, it has something to do with us, pay more attention, and there will be nothing to do."
"Let's go, fight monsters, I'm dying of poverty these days."
Hearing this, Phoenix and I glanced at each other, got an affirmative answer from each other's gazes, frowned, and walked quickly into the door.
