"I have not met any residents of this city. The information given to me by the teacher and Miss Feiliana shows that only those buildings with signboards can be considered relatively safe. The teacher and Miss Feiliana prepared many weapons and weapons for me.
The materials allowed me to enter these shops to lift the curtain step by step and meet the God of Night. But now my backpack has been lost, and only a small part of my luggage is still in this cafe."
Her head was lowered, and the tip of her drooping tail swept back and forth in a small way, so that Shade could tell her mood without looking at her expression. However, Shade now knew that in the illustration of the cafe menu, the little girl under her feet
What does package mean?
"Can all these shops be used for transactions?"
Shade asked, pointing to the menu on the table, but Fiona shook her head cautiously:
"There are really too many secrets here. I can only say that most shops can do transactions."
She put her hand into the big pocket of the maid's skirt and took out a brass-colored round cake-shaped object, which looked like the base of some kind of instrument:
"This is the compass base prepared by Miss Feliana. The teacher and Miss Feliana have checked many things in this city. I originally needed to find and enter three designated stores, trade and obtain all the parts of the compass, and then I would be able to find the general
We were on our way to the center of the city, but when we arrived at Yongye City, we discovered that there were more dangers here than we imagined."
The red dragon girl looked particularly depressed at this time, holding her hands together and placing them on her legs under the table:
"This is the first shop. Before I entered here, I lost most of my luggage due to some accidents, and I was also eroded by the power of the night. In order to maintain myself and not be assimilated by the night, I was forced to make a deal with the cafe.
Then somehow, I was controlled by this place."
Shade understood this, and felt that the task given to the girl in front of him by Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode was a little too dangerous.
"Are you the only one on this mission?"
"Yes, it is too dangerous here, and Miss Olanode and Miss Feliana have become very urgent in recent years. Each of us has taken on many tasks. I know that I am not working hard enough, but they trust me very much.
This is something no one else can give me."
She looked down at her reflection in the black tea:
"If you hadn't come here, I'm afraid I would have to stay here for a long time before the teacher or Miss Feliana came to rescue me."
She never thought that she would stay here forever. The Red Dragon girl, like Shade, had great trust in the two great witches.
"That feeling is really scary. I still have a clear consciousness, but I just can't control my body. Shade, when I saw you rushing in, I really felt like I was dreaming."
As she spoke, her eyes became moist. Fiona was relatively young, and she was far less strong than the other witches Shade had encountered.
"Now that I'm here, it's okay. Find trading materials in three shops to exchange for the way to the throne, right? This doesn't sound any harder than collecting First Age texts for the Old Gods in the library of Gaddis.
"
Shade said, and then pushed the menu to her:
"What are we going to get at this cafe first?"
Fiona quickly turned the pages on the menu. The menu seemed to be only ten pages long, but in fact, the last page that Shade turned to just now was marked with page number 108.
"I only saw this after I arrived. Unfortunately, we definitely can't buy it."
She turned to the corresponding page. Because the two of them were sitting next to each other, Shade could see the content clearly at a glance:
[The map of Yongye City marks important locations and hidden roads in the city.]
[The map that the monarch left behind when he was a guest for snacks last time.]
The picture on the left is a roll of parchment, with a emblem printed in blue ink on the back of the paper. If Shade guessed correctly, this should be the holy emblem of the God of Night.
[You need to pay a special fate.]
When it comes to fate, one cannot be too cautious, so this is indeed not a product they can afford.
Fiona continued to turn back, but before she reached the corresponding page number, Shade suddenly asked her to stop, because Shade saw a very familiar name:
[The pepper shaker and relic of the Great One - the Lord of the Blood Feast, can be sprinkled on any food to make it delicious. Frequent use of large doses will cause intense bulimia until the Master of the Blood Feast watches or comes. 】
[The delicious fish bait from the master of the blood feast.]
The picture on the left is a metal can with dense holes on the top.
[A unique delicacy is required.]
"Shadow, do you want this?"
The red dragon girl asked curiously, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"No, no, I just saw a very familiar name, and the 'unique food' that God thinks is not something we can make. Besides, even if I get this, I can't take it away. Speaking of which, this God and I are
It’s quite a fate.”
He actually thought that if the cultists in Tobesk had this last summer, they would not have to waste time preparing for the complicated divine descending ceremony. As for why there are pepper shakers in the cafe, Shade understands this very well.
Pepper is not abundant in any era, but as a very precious spice, some people do think that sprinkling pepper on desserts or even coffee is a very high-class way of dining.
The menu continued to flip through the pages until Fiona's target was found. On the left side of the page was a golden teaspoon with dense patterns on the surface, while on the right side was written information about the product:
[Precious teaspoon, a creation of Eternal Night City, has the atmosphere of Eternal Night City. 】
【Expensive and meaningless, but beautiful.】
[Requires payment of light.]
"Paying the light again?"
Shade was a little surprised, but Fiona explained sheepishly:
"In this cafe, the items that are not valuable or not distinctive enough are all paid for with light. I'm not talking about me."
"I understand that the criteria for judging are different. Maybe in the eyes of God we are all ordinary mortals with no characteristics, but in the eyes of Miss Feliana, Miss Olanold and me, you are unique."
The young girl showed a faint smile, and Shade said:
"Then let's buy this."
As he spoke, he glanced behind him and saw that the black vat that had been placed under the counter by the dragon maid Fiona actually appeared on the counter again.
"I come."
The red dragon girl stood up first, but Shade grabbed her sleeve:
"No, no, no, it's me. I've recovered a bit after eating these foods. It's me."
"You spent too much just to save me. This time I just bought a teaspoon. I think I can do it."
"Please listen to me."
Shade also stood up. He was slightly taller than Fiona, who was wearing high-soled black buttoned leather shoes:
"First of all, I am very lacking in spirit right now, aren't you?"
The red dragon girl turned her eyes slightly not to look at him, and the tip of her tail touched the ground.
"Secondly, you know, I will be able to leave soon, and there will be ways to recover my spirit by then. But you are different. You have to stay here, facing this weird city and the long night alone. No matter what the reason is,
I won’t let you come this time.”
As he spoke, he pointed to himself:
"Besides, I am quite confident about the light technique."
Fiona couldn't help him, she could only watch as he conjured up a bunch of holy water, drank it, and then moved the black vat back.
None of them could predict how much light the teaspoon would cost, so before Shade was ready to take action, Fiona asked Shade to guarantee:
"If you can't hold on anymore and can't hold on, take your arm back and let me come. Shade, I am also an apprentice officially recognized by the teacher, and I am much stronger than you."
When I came to the last sentence, I felt quite lacking in confidence.
The lid of the black vat was opened again. While the light intensity in the cafe continued to decrease, the night outside seemed to seep in through the crack in the door. Shade did not immediately put his arm into the black vat.
Honestly let the light of the silver moon appear in the palm of my hand again.
If it is not necessary, he will not take the initiative to use the power of the divine afterglow. Fortunately, it is really unnecessary this time. The value of that "precious teaspoon" seems to be much lower than that of Miss Fiona Drago. Xia
The spirit of virtue was only consumed once more, and the black vat took the initiative to stop absorbing it.
The darkness in the tank dissipated on its own initiative, revealing a slender silver teaspoon lying at the bottom of the container. Shade picked it up, and Fiona once again helped Shade, who was sweating, to sit down, and then handed the sugar cake to him.
On his lips:
"Actually, you don't need to feed me."
Looking at her expression, Shade also knew that he had better not refuse, so he finished the candy cake honestly, and then watched the red dragon girl pour the remaining holy water into Shade's cup, and said
The coffee was mixed and stirred before being handed to Shade.
His current situation is much better than before, so he still has time to ask curiously:
"The way you stirred the coffee just now was really professional. Did becoming a maid in this shop give you knowledge and experience?"
"No. When we are with the teacher, we apprentices do these chores. This is the obligation of apprentices."
She looked at the desserts on the table and added softly:
"Actually, I'm also very good at cooking this kind of dessert."
The spoon cannot work yet. It must find two other items and combine it with the compass chassis to be effective. The next target location is the silver shop in Evernight City, which means that they have to leave here.
A warm and cozy cafe.
The night outside is getting thick at the moment, and there is no light at all. It is obviously impossible to leave this store by "walking". If you have to wait for the night to disperse and the lights to turn on, you don't know how long it will take, and it was summer at that time.
