Gentleman's Night Canteen

"I didn't notice her abnormality, but she seemed to have noticed me, so she didn't attack me, but let me leave the forest, and when I reappeared, she didn't hesitate to attack me Attack, it was a difficult battle... In the end I defeated the other party, but when I was about to kill her, she begged me to continue to live, but in order to protect more people, I did not stay hand, I finally found that sachet..."

Only then did Lan Meng finally know what Solal meant by 'too late'.

It should mean that he didn't show up earlier, because if he could show up earlier, there shouldn't be so many victims.

However, Lan Meng felt that there should be some reason why he didn't meet the other party when the other party was still alive, because if he met the other party at that time, maybe the other party would not become a monster.

There is no doubt that these things have an unforgettable memory, but what makes Lan Meng wonder is, if the things left by those who helped him are considered "treasures", then why do those things with bad memories The things he also called 'treasures'?

Because of the attitude of the other party who almost knew everything before, Lan Meng also directly expressed his doubts.

And Solal said something that made Lan Meng even more unexpected.

"Although some memories do contain sadness and even regret, it is precisely because of their existence that I realize that I have walked on this land, and I have truly lived..."

Having said this, Solal's voice subconsciously sank.

Although he told Lan Meng a lot of things, when he realized that Lan Meng was just an "ordinary person", he instinctively concealed things about "undead people" from Lan Meng. It's not that things about undead people cannot be said, but He didn't want to expose his inability to taste food...

etc? !food taste?

Suddenly, Solal grabbed the wine glass in his hand, and then his eyes widened...

Chapter 50 It's nice to be a chef (2/?)

Solal is not a researcher about the "undead", so naturally he doesn't know much information, but through communicating with other undead, he still has some things, such as why he gradually loses his sense of taste, and how What the hell is that strange thing.

That strange thing is called the 'Dark Ring' by other undead people. According to them, they are a group of cursed unlucky ones, but it is precisely because of it that they are called 'Undead'.

It's just that this thing is not a good thing.

According to other 'undead' people who have this thing can be resurrected even if they are killed, but this thing is not a blessing from the gods at all, but a curse from the abyss, because every time they resurrect, they will lose something , Gradually become less like yourself, until finally completely become a walking dead, which is what they call a 'living corpse'.

Solal is undoubtedly lucky, relying on his solid swordsmanship and firm belief, he was not really killed after becoming an undead, but as time went by, he still felt that he was changing faintly, Taste is just one aspect. Anyway, he doesn't have much appetite. According to other undead people, this is because the 'humanity' in his body is being lost.

Many undead people completely collapsed under the huge pressure brought by this unavoidable despair, and their speed of reviving corpses was far faster than that of ordinary undead people, while Solal relied on his firm belief to resist all the time. This change, because he firmly believes that the "sun" he is looking for can save himself from this desperate cycle.

But it is a pity that he has not found the sun he hoped to find after he came to Rhodeland, and he has even begun to consider whether to go to the underground world to find him...

But what he didn't expect was that when he was about to go to the underground world, he met Lan Meng

This young man seemed a little strange to him.

At first, he accepted Lan Meng's invitation simply because he didn't want to disappoint Lan Meng's enthusiasm, but what he never dreamed of was that he would find the 'antidote' that countless undead people dream of.

There was even a moment when Solal wondered if Blue Dream was the 'sun' he was looking for.

But after a short period of excitement, he still calmed down. There was no doubt that Lan Meng was not the sun he was looking for. The other party did not have the power of the sun, nor did he look like a warrior.

Maybe it just happens that the other party has the corresponding ability.

And Solal didn't think much about it before, but after thinking about it carefully now, he found a problem.

Is the reason why I talk so much today simply because I haven't talked to anyone for a long time so I can't help it?

Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem like it. After all, he didn't want to say so much before eating Lan Meng's food, so it means that these changes in himself are all because of the other party's wine, or that piece of cake?

Solal didn't know what the answer was for a while, but the only thing he knew was that after he said these things that had been buried in his heart, he unconsciously felt a lot more relaxed.

At the same time, Solal's silence made Lan Meng, who was still looking forward to the new story of the other party, feel a little strange unconsciously.

"Mr. Solar, what's the matter?"

Because the task has not been prompted to complete, and Solal's performance is too calm, Lan Meng didn't think about his own ability, but thought that his ability was "failed" as before.

But what Lan Meng didn't expect was that when he asked, the other party suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Thank you."

Lan Meng was caught off guard by this sudden thank you.

"Wait, Mr. Solar, what's going on with you...?"

Looking at Lan Meng's inexplicable expression, Solal's original serious expression also disappeared, replaced by a helpless smile.

"Before, I wondered why there was an ordinary person here in Rodland...but now that you want to come to Lanmeng, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?"

No!I'm just an ordinary cook!

It's a pity that before Lan Meng could complain, Solal started talking to himself again.

"If I'm not wrong, Lan Meng, you should know that I'm an 'undead' after seeing me, right?"

Speaking of this, Solal couldn't help but glance at Lan Meng again. Compared with the confident words before, this time Solal's voice was two points more suspicious. After all, he was not sure about this guess, so he He couldn't help but glanced at Lan Meng for confirmation, and then he found that Lan Meng's line of sight was a little drifting, so he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Looks like Lan Meng, you really know..."

"No, I'm because..."

Facing Solal with a wry smile, Lan Meng didn't know how to explain it for a while. After all, this was related to his biggest secret "system". It's going up, but this matter is obviously not something that can be said casually.

It's a pity that Lan Meng's attitude seems to make Solal think more.

In his opinion, although Lan Meng is a little mysterious, he should be a good person. After all, the other party warmly invited him and helped him relieve the curse of the "ring of darkness", but he seems not very good at lying. As if he knew what reason to make up, he simply interrupted the other party.

"Mr. Lan Meng, please don't say anything more, I understand everything."

What?You also understand?

Compared to Lan Meng who was confused, Solal continued to talk to himself.

"I don't want to find out your secret, Lanmeng, I just want to express my gratitude to you. Although I have never died so far, the 'humanity' in my body is constantly passing away because of the 'ring of darkness'. Although this speed is very slow, I don't want to become a 'walking dead (living corpse)' one day..."

Speaking of this, Solal couldn't help but sighed.

If the previous battles in his hometown can be said to be mixed, then when he came to Rhodeland, there was tragedy in almost everyone he met. His belief in the "Sun God of War" will never be shaken, but in the In the midst of despair, he didn't know when he would collapse, but Lan Meng helped him recover part of his 'humanity' in this strange way. His gratitude to Lan Mian could be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

Blue Dream is confused about the proper nouns such as the "ring of darkness", "humanity" and "walking dead (living corpse)" in Solal's mouth. After all, the stories Solal told Blue Dream before are basically They were all stories about Solal when he was still a human being, and he selectively skipped the "undead" thing.

If it is said that he learned cooking more as a means of livelihood at first, then he regarded it as a general way to get paid, but at this moment, hearing Solar's heartfelt thanks, Lan Meng endured I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy from the heart.

At this time, he unconsciously had the idea of ​​'It's great to be a chef'.

At the same time, the question from his teacher popped up unconsciously in his mind.

'Why do you want to be a chef? '

Lan Meng couldn't answer this question at all before, but at this moment, he seems to have the answer.

Because...he hopes to see the dishes he makes, or to say that his efforts can be responded to, and he hopes to see his diners show sincere smiles after eating his dishes...

Chapter 51 If Blue Dream can become a Sun Knight... (3/?)

Because Lan Meng learned about the identity of the other party's "undead person" through the reminder of the system task, so in order to hide the existence of the system that he owns, Lan Meng deliberately avoided the fact that he knew the other party's identity when communicating with the other party.

But at this time Solal took the initiative to mention the secret of 'undead', Lan Meng felt that the heat was almost ready, so he also took the initiative to ask.

But of course not about the 'undead' thing.

Although some people will pursue 'undead', but Lan Meng is still young, he is not interested in this kind of thing, not to mention that according to the information obtained from the system, after becoming an 'undead person', he will gradually lose his desire, and even eventually become an 'undead person' completely. "The Walking Dead", Lan Meng still has a lot of "worldly desires", he doesn't want to lose the roots of troubles mentally at a young age.

"Mr. Solal, please don't thank me any more. I am a chef, and I am only a chef. I just fulfilled the duty of a chef to serve a delicious dish to the diners... As for my ability To be honest, I haven't fully figured it out, so if possible, could you please tell me some of your reaction after eating?"

While talking about Lan Meng, he skillfully took out his notebook from his arms.

That's right, it's the previous 'Eater Observation Notes'.

Most of the data in this notebook is the information obtained by Lan Meng's own observations. The only one who knows his ability and is willing to be his "experiment" Kujo Saro is unwilling to mention his changes in detail. As a guest who has noticed his ability through himself and seems willing to communicate with him, Lan Meng will naturally not miss this opportunity.

"of course can."

Lan Meng's reaction was also somewhat beyond Solal's expectations. Solal didn't expect that Lan Meng would ask himself this matter, and he directly agreed after a short moment of stupefaction.

Lan Meng's focus is basically on the 'reaction after eating', so naturally he won't ask Solal's secrets...Of course, with Solal's character, he has no secrets that he can't tell others , but he is also full of affection for Lan Meng's 'persistence'.

Solal thinks he is not a genius either, he just works harder than others, and the reason why he can work so hard also depends on his dedication to the "Sun God of War". He even saw some of himself in Lanmeng. shadow.

"If Blue Dream can become the Sun Knight..."

Solal couldn't help but have this thought.

At this time, Lan Meng didn't know that Solal actually planned to recruit himself into the religion, and all his attention was focused on the collection and arrangement of materials.

According to Solal, although the "ring of darkness" on his chest was not cured after eating his own food, it also replenished the "humanity" he had lost during these years of constant travel.

The other party can't explain clearly about "humanity", but according to Solal's description, part of the information on the system page, and the introduction of his own abilities, Lan Meng vaguely realizes that although his ability is called "emotional resonance", I'm afraid this kind of resonance is not just emotion, it may even involve 'soul'.

From a certain point of view, Lan Meng guessed right, but it's a pity that he didn't have any evidence to prove his point, and the only person who knew about it was Lei Movie, who was awakened by Lan Meng from the "One Heart Pure Land". Naturally, it was impossible for the other party to take the initiative to tell Lan Meng.

But for Lan Meng, he has unknowingly revealed the secret corner of his ability.

Compared with Lan Meng who was serious about writing and drawing in his notebook, Solal, who was explaining to Lan Meng on the other side, stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth very skillfully in the gap between his words.

There is no doubt that Solal is not a person who cares too much about his appetite. For him, he will not refuse food, but black bread is not unbearable, and after he became an undead, he completely forgot about it rear.

But now that he has gained his sense of taste again, he has discovered that the food is so delicious.

Whether it is the delicate cream or the fluffy cake embryo, it is so fascinating.

In fact, after becoming an undead... or in other words, after losing his sense of taste due to the gradual passing of humanity, Solal also tried to eat other foods to find something he could eat, including cakes.

To him at that time, the delicious cream was like foam, and the bread was like a sponge. Although he could feel something in his mouth when chewing, he couldn't taste anything.

Coupled with the fact that undead people don't need food at all to survive, he completely gave up eating.

But today he regained this instinct.

The cake served with wine made by Lan Meng is not too small. For Lan Meng, as long as the cake is not an extra-large one, there is not much difference in size, so he simply made a [-]-inch cake.

According to his original plan, Solal might not be able to eat much, and he can use the rest as his own snacks, but what Lan Meng didn't expect was that the effect of his own dishes seemed to be much better than expected.

For an undead who does not have normal digestive organs at all, it is self-evident what he will do when faced with a medicine that can alleviate his 'terminal illness'.

No matter how unpalatable it is, he will never give up, not to mention the food made by Lan Meng is more delicious than any kind of dim sum that Solal has ever eaten.

One, two, three, four...

The cake, which was originally the size of a washbasin, gradually disappeared under Solal's peaceful chewing sound.

When the last piece of cake disappeared in his hands, Solal was rarely disappointed.

If possible, he even hoped to be able to eat it all the time.

But unfortunately, impossible.

It's not that Lan Meng doesn't want to help him, but because Solal finds something wrong with Lan Meng's situation.

Although the pen in Lan Meng's hand kept writing on the paper, it seemed that there was no difference from before, but Solal obviously found that the speed of the pen in Lan Meng's hand was getting slower and slower, and at the same time when Lan Meng raised his head, There is even more exhaustion on the face that cannot be concealed.

Naturally, Lan Meng is also aware of his own condition. It can even be said that the exhaustion of his body made him realize that his previous guess was correct. He also acted according to his previous experience, but it's a pity that he miscalculated the consumption of his abilities.

"Crack~"

The pen in his hand drew a black line on the notebook, and Lan Meng, who couldn't control his body at all, almost smashed his head on the table, but at this moment, a somewhat rough palm blocked Lan Meng's forehead.

Only then did Solar unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that the changes in oneself are not only Lan Meng, and Solal also did not expect Lan Meng to be so exaggerated.

But while supporting Lan Meng, Solal couldn't help being moved in his heart.

He had guessed before that Lan Meng's ability was enough to make up for the 'humanity' he had lost. It would definitely not be a simple thing. Now it seems that the consumption of Lan Meng may be greater than expected.

Although Solar also cooperated with Lanmeng in collecting data afterwards, it is obvious that in Solar's view, his efforts are not directly proportional to his gains.

"Although Lan Meng said before that the normal meal fee is enough, but this is really not enough..."

While talking to himself, Solal helped Lan Meng and placed him on the sofa beside him, then sat beside Lan Meng silently to guard him.

If the system Lan Meng obtained was not the 'chef system' but the 'favorability system', I'm afraid he could already see the constant popularity +1 in Solal's head at this time...

Chapter 52 Reasons for taking the thorny path (4/?)

The glare of the light made Lan Meng, who was still a little confused, squint his eyes unconsciously, but when he was groping to sit up, he was taken aback suddenly.

etc? !What was he doing just now?

correct!guest! !

Lan Meng, who sat up straight suddenly, tried to find the customer, but what Lan Meng didn't expect was that almost at the same time he woke up, a somewhat muffled voice rang in his ears.

"Blue dream?"

Following the direction of the voice, Lan Meng saw 'Solar' at a glance, but the Solal in front of him was somewhat different from his impression.

In Lanmeng's impression, Solal has withered and yellow hair, his face is covered with wrinkles, and even his lips are cracked. When he doesn't smile, the eyes of the other party are normal...or bright Some.

As for the other party at this time, although the hair is still messy, it has regained some luster, the wrinkles on the face have also faded a lot, and the cracks on the lips cannot be seen clearly without careful observation, that is, the same hearty smile and It was the armor with strange patterns on it that made Lan Meng realize that she had not mistaken the person.
