Chapter 123
"Occasional rest is still necessary. Lin Cheng stepped onto the street and was temporarily relieved from his work. He sniffed his nose.
He smelled the aroma of wine, pancakes, and fried fruits in the air, and he felt particularly relaxed physically and mentally.
Tonight, it seemed that The annual grand celebration is still very chaotic, but it has not yet affected the remote town where Lin City is located.
Everything is so peaceful, and there is no hint that this is a world full of crises.
"Oops, Lin Cheng, look, this thing is delicious, you should try it too."
Puff, puff, puff, flapping her little wings, Meng Meng landed in Lincheng, holding a big marshmallow in her hand, and said with a milky voice
"Well, it is indeed delicious."
Lin Cheng didn't show any pretense, and took a bite directly on the marshmallow handed to him.
Well, it was sweet and soft, and the taste was no different from what he remembered, but maybe it was influenced by the surrounding atmosphere. The marshmallows seemed to be more delicious than before.
Seeing that Lin Cheng also looked happy, Meng Meng's chubby little face was also happier than before, and he turned around and flew towards Aike Leiya.
"Aikerea, you should try it too."
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, but the position where Meng Meng handed it to Aike Leiya happened to be where Lin Cheng bit it.
Looking at the teeth marks on the marshmallow, Aike Leiya's face turned red again..
However, just when Lin Cheng thought that Aike Leiya would refuse, Aike Leiya gently took a bite on the edge of the tooth mark.
"How about it! How about it!"
"Well, it tastes pretty good."
Ekelea said in a low voice with a blushing face.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Ekelea turned to Lin Cheng and looked at her as if she had discovered a new world, and suddenly turned her head again.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, He didn't say anything and just walked quietly.
On the streets paved with bluestones, people were walking back and forth.
Slowly and unconsciously, Lin Cheng gently held Aike Leiya's soft arms. Small hands.
At the moment of grabbing, Lin Cheng could feel that Aike Leiya's body was a little stiff and her steps were a little unsteady.
Just when Lin Cheng thought that Aike Leiya would break free, he found that the other party had no other reaction. Let Lin Cheng hold his hand like this.
Although the streets at night were decorated with magic crystal lights, the light was still a little dim.
Even the farmer on the side couldn't help but feel strange at this time. Lin Cheng took his wife and children to the streets, wandering around like this. The streets at night were much livelier than during the day, and the brightly lit scene made them feel like they were a family.
Ekelea was a little dazed for a moment.
These were scenes she had never seen before.
Even if she encountered them, she had no time to experience them.
In her memory, she only felt that she was running away and alone. What she never knew was that there was such a different place in the world.
Seeing these noisy scenes that she had never seen before, and the tall figure walking in front of her, Aike Leiya felt that the world was different for the first time. It was not as scary as she thought.
And all of this... changed with Lin Cheng's arrival.
Thinking of this, Aike Leiya couldn't help but tighten Lin Cheng's hand until she reached the door of a restaurant. , Lin Cheng noticed that there were a few beads of sweat on Aike Leiya’s face, so he said
"Let's go in and eat. I have always cooked it myself. It's rare that I'm happy today. It's rare that I try other people's craftsmanship."
Perhaps it was because of her previous actions, Aike Leiya was still blushing at this time.
In the past, she would have said a few words when Lin Cheng spent money casually, but now she couldn't hear what Lin Cheng said at all, just one Nodding vigorously, she withdrew her hand and walked in without waiting for Lin Cheng, making Lin Cheng amused.
"Guests are invited here."
Entering the foyer and looking at the crowded and noisy first floor, Lin Cheng took Aike Leiya and Mengmeng directly to the second floor. He chose to sit down by the window and ordered a few side dishes.
"Come on quickly."
After finishing the order, Lin Cheng gently placed a few gold coins on the staff's hand.
Seeing this, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment."
Driven by money, it didn't take long for Lin Cheng's dishes to be served quickly.
"How is it, how does it taste?"
There are not many dishes, but they are exquisite.
You can taste such delicious food without having to cook it yourself. A happy smile appeared on Aike Leiya's face.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng also smiled and picked up the wine glass, She took a sip of the fruit wine.
It was as light as drinking fruit juice.
She had no worries about food and clothing, and had a beautiful woman as her companion. It would be so comfortable if I could feed her herself. Better.
Of course, this is just a thought.
Now that Aike Leiya has slowly opened up to herself, she can't accept it all at once. However
, people may still have dreams after all.
, it came true that day.
While Lin Cheng was eating delicious food, drinking wine, and admiring Aike Leiya's beautiful smile, another group of people walked up to the second floor.
The traveler found a seat by the window and as they appeared, Lin Cheng noticed that the smile on Aike Leiya's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The identity of those people could be seen from the other party's clothes. Have these people been affected by the Magic Council ? Upon seeing this, Lin Cheng pondered slightly.
"Hey."
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a magic robe, holding a magic array in his hand. He sighed as soon as he sat down.
"The days are becoming increasingly unbearable"
"Foreign forces have appeared one after another recently, and even the dark guilds are ready to take action, leaving us with no rest at all."
"Boss, if it really doesn't work, why don't we withdraw from the council?"
"Now that there are so many external forces appearing in this world, the Magic Council will definitely be the first to be attacked." retorted another
"What do you know? Although the Magic Council has been in a terrible state recently, it is also the safest place."
"Do you really think that if the Magic Council doesn't have two brushes, how can it suppress the Magisters Guild below?"
The middle-aged man headed by him retorted.
"Oh, boss? You don't know any secrets, tell us."A magician urged.
The middle-aged magician narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice.
"As far as I know, the Magic Council is now preparing to summon the remaining two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, plus the other top ten magicians."
"Gather the strongest forces on the continent and prepare to launch a surprise attack on these foreign forces."
