Chapter 11 Dinner is served.
"Sit wherever you want." Li Yuan found a seat at the long table and motioned for Zhenna to sit down together.
Zhenna had no idea that there would be such a large banquet restaurant on the second floor of the tower, with a long table large enough to accommodate more than twenty guests.
There were only two of them sitting here in the huge restaurant, which seemed unusually empty.
The restaurant has obviously not been used for a long time, and there is not even a tablecloth on the table, but it has been cleaned for the time being.
Silver tableware was already placed on the table. Zhenna sat down opposite Li Yuan and asked with some surprise: "Is there anyone else here?" They had all sat down, so naturally others were needed
. People cooked food and served it to them.
"I have a butler here." Li Yuan said, snapping his fingers, "Shitou, is the meal ready?" "It's ready
, my lord. Here it is for you." The butler's respectful voice came from the kitchen. came out.
After a while, two stone men, only as high as an adult's knees, walked out of the kitchen each holding a silver tray with an arched lid, and walked towards Li Yuan and Zhenna respectively.
The stone divided itself into two individuals to improve work efficiency. As a result, the single body was reduced to half of its original size.
"Golem?" Zhenna's eyes widened in surprise.
Creating a golem requires a high degree of magical attainment. The shape and structure of the golem can be left to a specialized sculptor, but the ability of the golem to execute independently depends entirely on the level of the mage.
Although this golem is a little smaller, it can actually complete complex processes such as cooking in the kitchen. Is this red dragon still a great mage?
"I'm really sorry, my lord (guest), I can't reach the dining table."
The two stone men struggled to lift the tray, but they were still unable to deliver the food to the table. They could only ask Li Yuan and Zhen Na for help.
Li Yuan and Zhen Na both reached out silently, brought the tray to themselves, and opened the lid.
Inside was a bowl of broth.
"Please be careful when ironing, and enjoy slowly while I prepare the next meal." Shitou took back the tray and quickly returned to the kitchen.
The broth is steaming, and the aroma is tantalizing.
Li Yuan picked up the spoon and carefully scooped a little bit of soup to his mouth to test the temperature.
The soup was actually still boiling hot, but Li Yuan felt that the temperature was just right. If it were cooler, it would be almost too hot.
He took a few more spoonfuls, but found that as his appetite developed, he became more and more hungry. In the end, he simply picked up the bowl of cow and started drinking.
Zhenna, who was cooling the soup in the spoon, was shocked. She soon realized, how could a fire-breathing red dragon be afraid of being burned?
Red dragons are immune to high temperatures and can even bathe in lava.
"Shitou, this is not enough for me to stuff my teeth. Bring the barbecue directly. I'm starving!" Li Yuan shouted into the kitchen.
After turning into a dragon, his appetite was astonishingly large. Even if he reduced his consumption by turning into a human form, he could still eat at least ten people's rations.
"I understand, my lord, please wait a moment!" Stone's voice floated from the kitchen.
Zhenna put the first spoonful of soup into her mouth. The seasoning of the soup was simple but just right.
The meat slices inside are sliced very thin, stewed until tender, and melt in your mouth.
She suddenly remembered the scene when she was very young, sitting at a long table to eat with her father, mother and sister.
How long has it been since the last time you had a meal with your family like that?
Then she thought of her current situation, deserted by everyone and desperate.
When she was dying, she could not think of anyone who might come to save her.
In the end, it was the red dragon that chased after her and saved her life.
She didn't know if it was because her body had become weak, but she found that she suddenly became sentimental, and her eyes became moist without realizing it.
She blinked quickly and lowered her head to continue drinking the soup to avoid being spotted by the red dragon opposite.
"Does it taste good?" Li Yuan asked, seeing her immersed in the soup.
"Yeah." Zhenna replied softly without raising her head.
"Yes, after all, the soup is made from those who betrayed you." Li Yuan nodded.
"Pfft!!" Zhenna choked as soon as she put a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
She dropped the spoon and spit out the soup in her mouth, coughed violently, stood up screaming, and knocked down the chair.
Then, she glared at Li Yuan fiercely.
At this time, the two stone men came out of the kitchen again and worked together to carry a whole roasted horse leg to Li Yuan.
When passing by Zhenna, he paused for a moment, and then asked: "What's the matter, guest, is the horse broth not to your liking?" Zhenna
was stunned for a moment, looked at the horse leg lifted by the golem, and then Looking at Li Yuan with a smile on his face, he suddenly understood something.
"I lied to you, what we eat is horse meat."
Li Yuan smiled and put the whole horse leg next to the stone, put it directly on the dining table, and boldly tore off a large piece and put it in his mouth.
The anger in Zhenna's eyes did not subside, but instead increased exponentially.
The sadness just now disappeared, and now she clenched her fists and her whole body was shaking with anger.
If she hadn't been unable to defeat him, she would have turned over the table and hit the red dragon on the opposite side.
Li Yuan ordered Shitou to hold Zhenna's chair up, and while gnawing on the horse's leg, he raised his hand to signal Zhenna to sit down: "Okay, keep eating, don't waste food." Zhenna sat down again, but for a long
time Pick up the spoon.
"You really didn't use their meat, right?" She looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.
Evil dragons are famous for being cannibals. So many knights died in the battle just now, which was all fresh meat for this red dragon.
"I'm not interested in eating intelligent creatures. I burned all the corpses of those knights. There's no need to lie to you. You can't do anything to me if I eat them, right?" Li Yuan replied calmly.
"You really don't eat people?" Zhenna was very surprised.
"Okay, it's my fault for starting this way. Let's not talk about such disgusting topics, okay? Let's eat well." Li Yuan pointed to the broth in front of Zhenna.
Red dragons do like to eat humanoid creatures. Helganorn's favorite food is actually tender elf girls. However, for his own safety, he does not often prey on those creatures that have established advanced civilizations.
When he bit those knights to death, the human blood flowing into his mouth once aroused Li Yuan's appetite.
But as a human in the past, he was still quite resistant to cannibalism on a psychological level. The memory of Helganorn's cannibalism in the past also made him somewhat uncomfortable, so he could only try not to think about it.
He let the stones peel off the useful equipment and objects from the knights, then piled the corpses together and burned them all with a fire.
What they are eating now are the horses brought by the knights.
Zhenna picked up the spoon again, but did not ladle the soup. Instead, she stared at Li Yuan who was devouring the roasted horse leg.
This red dragon was really strange...
This wonderful contrast made her curious about the red dragon in front of her.
"It's really not human flesh, so feel free to eat it."
Li Yuan sighed. Seeing Zhenna staring at him, he thought she was still doubting.
"Yes." Zhenna then lowered her head, pushed her hair behind her ears with her hands, and scooped the soup into her mouth.
