Gentleman's Night Canteen

"hug……"

"It's really great! I was shocked when you suddenly passed out, Lan Meng, but fortunately, Lan Meng, your body is very strong..."

Lan Meng was about to apologize for leaving the guest behind, but before he could say anything, he was forcibly interrupted by Solal. The other party patted Lan Meng on the shoulder and said that Lan Meng's physical fitness was very good.

Although the attitudes of the previous guests were quite good except for the strange old man, after all, it was related to the system and tasks, so Lan Meng could be said to be cautious when receiving them, but at this time For Solar's undisguised worry, I don't know why Lan Meng always feels warm in his heart.

At the same time, Solar spoke again.

"Lanmeng, your ability is very special. In my opinion, it is a fatal temptation for undead. No undead should be able to resist the temptation to restore humanity again..."

Speaking of this, Solal couldn't help but glanced at the two bottles of wine that had been emptied on the table.

Solal is not a drinker, and he didn't think much about ordering wine before. Later, after Lan Meng delivered the red wine and snacks, he just took a few sips to moisten his lips. After all, in his opinion, no matter what it is Drinking alcohol for yourself is a waste.

But later, when he realized that the cake made by Lan Meng could help him restore his humanity, he put all his attention on the cake, and he ate the cake that was enough for 4 to 6 people by himself.

Later, Solal, who stayed alone in the store after Lan Meng's 'coma', did not wander around, and started to drink silently when he had nothing to do.

Because of the restoration of 'human nature', the red wine that could not be tasted at all has become extremely delicious at this time.

Unlike the past when I used cakes, drinking red wine alone at this time naturally cannot hide the unique bitterness of tannins.

It's just that this bottle of wine brewed by Mr. Lan Meng himself is perfect. The bitterness not only does not destroy the overall taste of the wine, but even allows people to better experience the aftertaste of the wine itself.

The drinking method of wine is different from that of ordinary wine. After drinking red wine, not only can't swallow it immediately, but you need to taste it with your tongue.

When the wine enters the mouth and spreads over the tongue, the first thing you feel when the silky wine slides over the tip of the tongue is the unique sweetness of grapes, then the sourness on the tongue surface, and finally the bitterness at the root of the tongue.

This is because the sides of the tongue are sensitive to astringency and saltiness, but after this short period of bitterness, the unique sweet and sour of the wine emerges again to wash it away.

After the red wine is completely swallowed, the wine falls into the empty stomach, leaving only the unique bitter taste of tannins, but it is precisely because of this that it is more eager to obtain 'sweetness'.

When he drank another glass, the unique sweet and sour taste in red wine became even more obvious.

It can be said that this bottle of red wine made Solal, who is not an alcoholic, couldn't help but have the idea of ​​'have another glass'.

But then Solal suddenly wiped out this thought in his mind.

Now is not the time to think about your appetite.

"Lanmeng, although it may not be very good for me, but you must pay attention to the target when using similar abilities. After all, even I can't help but have the idea of ​​wanting to... take it as my own. , I don’t know what other people will do.”

Although Solal said "take it as his own", looking at the other party's serious expression, Lan Meng didn't feel it at all.

"I'll pay attention."

Seeing Lan Meng's serious expression, Solal couldn't help but smile.

Just as Lan Meng felt the other party's kindness from Solal's words and deeds, Solal also felt the other party's seriousness and kindness from Lan Meng's cooking.

Although it is still very weak, all the big trees in the sky start from a small sapling, and all he needs to do is to guard its growth.

"The current Lan Meng can't really help the undead, but when he grows up, maybe he can really help the undead to get rid of this endless despair..."

While secretly making a decision in his heart, Solal stood up and held the helmet that was placed aside in his hands.

"Since you have woken up, Lan Meng, and I have finished what I want to say, then I should leave too."

Lan Meng didn't expect that Solal was about to leave as soon as he woke up. He couldn't help but want to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, even though the two had a good talk before, they couldn't Changing them is nothing but the relationship between chef and diner.

It's just that when Lan Meng was at a loss, Solal spoke again.

"Next, I plan to go to the underground world to find my 'sun'. I don't know if I can find it this time, but I'm afraid I will trouble you, Lan Meng, when I come back."

For Solal, if he finds it, then it is a celebration, and if he does not find it, then it is for venting before starting again, but no matter which one it is, it fully shows that Solal will come to patronize again.

Lan Meng finally reacted to this.

"No matter when, as long as you come, Mr. Solar, I will definitely prepare food that satisfies you!"

Looking at Lan Meng's serious expression, Solal, who was always serious or serious, was the first to laugh.

"Since that's the case...then I'll take it seriously...and..."

"Ok?"

"Lanmeng, the cake you made is really delicious. Thanks to it, I seem to recall why I embarked on the thorny road of 'Sun Knight', thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Solal didn't care about Lan Meng's reaction, but waved with his back to Lan Meng and left the restaurant with great strides.

Different from the depression when he first arrived, Solal, who was walking forward facing the sun, was full of confidence while smiling, just like when he just arrived in Rodland...

Chapter 53 Sun Amulet (5/?)

"Lanmeng, the cake you made is really delicious. Thanks to it, I seem to recall why I embarked on the thorny road of 'Sun Knight', thank you very much!" '

It wasn't until Solal left that Lan Meng reacted suddenly.

At this moment, the last words of the other party before leaving echoed in his mind.

And it was the other party's words that made Lan Meng recall all the previous things involuntarily.

The confusion when he was just selected by the "system", the calloused hands and sore muscles when practicing knife skills, the arms licked by the high temperature are as red as cast iron...

Lan Meng may be just a fledgling chef, but his efforts are far beyond ordinary people.

Even though he kept telling himself that 'the goal is to change one's future, cooking is just a means, just like studying hard to change one's destiny in the past 20 years'.

But even if it is used as a means, it is like when he failed the full score for the first time in school, he was almost aggrieved and wanted to cry out.

Even though it seemed pretentious to other students, the unwillingness in his heart was so real at that time.

Indeed, as he grew older, he learned to pretend, and his edges and corners were smoothed, so when faced with the comments of "your cooking can't satisfy me", he kept reminding himself that "the other party is a god, don't make trouble for yourself" .

But he still couldn't forget the tingling pain of clenched fists and palms at that time.

He doesn't hold grudges against the other party, because the other party is just as a diner who made the most authentic evaluation of his cooking, just like the examination papers.

He is more unwilling, unwilling to his own ability.

This kind of reluctance made him become extremely serious in the face of every customer after that, unlike when he made the decision of 'start fishing after getting the system'.

But that incident has always been stuck in his chest like a thorn.

Lan Meng has always shown that he doesn't care much about this matter, but the first thing after he is free is to study the food he got from the other party, which is enough to see his thoughts on this matter.

In contrast, Solal's words made him realize another thing.

Even though he is still lacking in ability now, he has a bit of enthusiasm and a bit of light.

"Suddenly understand why Solal just said that helping people is addictive..."

Thinking of Solal's bright smile when he left, Lan Meng couldn't help but smile.

But then Lan Meng quickly adjusted, after all, he knew that instead of sighing here, it is better to be ready and wait for the other party's next visit.

"Challenge Mission: The Last Sun Knight

Mission Rewards: Moss Ball Fruit, Sun Amulet, White Mark Waxstone"

After turning on the system, Lan Meng checked his gains again, but these gains surprised him a bit.

"Moss ball fruit

Category: food

Grade: B

Description: The fruit of a special moss that lives in dark places

Effect: It can temporarily increase the resistance to bleeding, poison, cold, and curse."

'Moss Ball Fruit', like the previous 'Avalon Apple', is a relatively special ingredient with special abilities, but the effect is even more special, but it is normal, at least within Lanmeng's understanding.

But the other two things made Lan Meng a little incredible.

"Sun Amulet

Category: Props

Grade: B

Description: The sun amulet carved by the sun knight Solal himself represents his firm belief, but unlike his armor and weapons, his firm belief seems to really communicate the power of the sun so that the amulet possesses the power of the sun god of war, This amulet was made by Solal for a friend and represents his blessing

Effect: ① There is a certain probability of comprehending the "miracle" belonging to the Sun God of War

②Automatically release 'Combat Technique·Firm Prayer' when receiving mental shock"

Lan Meng couldn't understand the so-called "miracle" and "combat skills", but Lan Meng recognized the above description, and it was because of this that he was a little surprised. After all, in Solar's description, his armor And weapons are bestowed by the 'Sun God of War'.

Could it be that the other party lied?

But even with this kind of speculation, Lan Meng still didn't get angry because of the other party's lies. After all, it didn't make any sense to Lan Meng whether the other party's armor and weapons were bestowed by the gods, and what he cared about was the latter.

'Relying on firm belief to communicate the power of the sun, the amulet has the power of the sun god of war'

He can manipulate the power of the gods only by relying on his own power.

Is Solar really just a 'Sun Knight'?

Or has he already become the representative of the Sun God of War?

Maybe he is even the Sun God of War?

Lan Meng felt that his suspicion was a bit whimsical, but he still couldn't help thinking this way, and finally he checked another prop in order not to let himself think about it.

"Pewter Mark

Category: Props

Grade: A

Description: Rhodeland, once the land bestowed by the gods, began to undergo some changes with the departure of the gods. Nowadays, different worlds overlap. At the same time, a very special material 'Pewter Stone' was born. The special mark made of Pewter Stone can Summon the creator's 'spirit' to help fight

Effect: Summon the spirit body of 'Sun Knight Solar' to fight, the duration depends on the user's ability"

The difficulty of the 'challenge task' is self-evident. Even if he found a normal way to attack, he eventually fainted due to excessive consumption, but the richness of the rewards exceeded his imagination.

Especially the description above made Lan Meng, who had finally calmed down, feel excited.

The sun talisman is not made of any special material, it should be made of wood, but compared to its material, the most important thing is the 'sacred emblem of the sun' engraved on it.

The so-called 'Sacred Emblem of the Sun' is exactly the pattern on the suit of armor that Solar wore before, which looks like an abstract sun.

However, it seems that in order to protect the outer layer of the holy emblem, it is wrapped in layers of green cloth similar to Solal's cloak, and the holy emblem on it can only be seen through the gap.

The cloth was very rough, but when Lan Meng put the talisman on his chest and the rough cloth stuck to his chest, he did not know why it gave him an indescribable sense of peace.

"A talisman for a friend..."

While talking to himself, Lan Meng couldn't help showing a pleasant smile.

Compared with the talisman with a somewhat peculiar shape, the white wax stone mark is much simpler and rougher.

A white stone that looks like a stone dagger is wrapped in white cloth, which seems to prevent the edge of the ash stone from hurting people.

It is quite strange that it is neither jade nor stone in the hand.

At this time, Lan Meng seemed to try the ability of 'summoning the spirit body of Solal', but considering that he had just woken up from a coma, he decided not to die.

Undoubtedly, the mission rewards this time are extremely rich, even surpassing the rewards in the original assessment, but at this time, Lan Meng felt that the meeting with Solal made him more happy than the reward itself.

"Keep working hard...surprise Solal the next time we meet..."

As if imagining the startled expression of the other party, Lan Meng unconsciously sped up the movements of her hands by two points...

Chapter 54 Main Quest: Song of Birds

It didn't take long to clean the restaurant, but Lan Meng still speeded up unconsciously.

It is obvious that Lan Meng at this time has unconsciously fallen into a state of "hot blood" because of Solal's last words. At this time, he can't wait to have a few more guests to let him show his talents.

It's a pity that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

I don't know whether it's because Lan Meng's strength is not enough, or because there are no people who meet the guidance of the "Gate of Destiny", so there are still no new guests until the sun slowly sets.

And Lan Meng also lay on the sofa like a salted fish from the initial high spirits, because he remembered a very serious matter, it seems that the number of guests in the past few days was also very... touching?

Lan Meng also realized one thing, except for guests like Ying Lili who took the initiative to come again, the appearance of other guests seemed to rely on the guidance of the "Destiny Food Gate", so the number of new guests was beyond his control. controlling.

There were no new customers in the store, but time would not stop there. When the sky outside the window was completely shrouded in darkness, Lan Meng began to consider whether to close the store, after all, it was too late.

But just when Lan Meng was hesitating, the pleasant sound of wind chimes suddenly came.

Lan Meng, who was originally like a salted fish, regained his energy in an instant, and he walked quickly towards the door of the store.
