The Exorcist Detective

Chapter 1008: A meal at the revolving door

More dishes were passed on one after another, and the ingredients of some dishes could be seen. Although they looked very scary, it still made people somewhat mentally prepared. But when they came later, they didn’t know what they were. You can't tell anything from the ingredients to the cooking methods. Anyway, it's just a plate. As for what's on the plate, no one knows, but each one is very colorful and looks like an all-encompassing universe. There is a universe beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even the great God of the universe will be trapped by the ever-changing camouflage.

Li Kang began to sincerely miss the dark things he ate in the embassy. At least it could be seen that they were for human consumption. What were these, indescribable delicacies, for the old rulers to eat? Can't you pass through the Silver Key Gate and reach that indescribable magical realm with just one bite?

The Mandarin also felt that something was wrong. He looked at the plate in front of him at a loss. On the plate was a huge hairy bat with a lumpy toad in its mouth. He blinked and thought for a long time. This toad at least... The skin was peeled off. He had eaten a toad when he was very hungry while working as a beggar. At that time, he did not know that the toad skin was poisonous. After eating it, he was almost poisoned to death. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive.

As for the bat... To be honest, I have eaten bats before. The taste is really indescribable. Now that the two shadows appeared on the same plate at the same time, his heart was shaking. Could it be that Doctor Doom knew something? , that’s why I used these two “mascots” to taunt me. If that were the case, I would kill him even if I risked my life, but the people who might know that secret history are already dead. It has been more than 100 years. Moreover, in order to prevent Some people told future generations about these things, which had uprooted those families. Those guys didn't know where they offended him until their death. How could Doctor Doom know?

The Mandarin was still in doubt, and Li Kang couldn't help but tactfully asked, "That... this bat bites the leprous... the toad's dish. Although there are many dishes in this sumptuous banquet, but This dish is indeed particularly eye-catching. Is there any beautiful meaning in it? Indeed, in my nation, bats symbolize good fortune and toads symbolize wealth. Could it be that they are full of happiness and wealth?"

The Mandarin nodded. There is indeed such a meaning, but Eastern and Western civilizations are inherently different. For example, owls and crows are regarded as symbols of wisdom in the West, but in the East they have become symbols of bad luck because of their disgusting cries. Crows in particular have been criticized for their cries, and have been given the title of crow's beak.

Some symbols in the East, such as 666, have a very cool meaning. In the West, it is a symbol of the devil Satan. In the East, 13 is just a very common number, but in the West, it is an unlucky symbol. Such things are still There are black cats and the like, and the cultural and folk customs are indeed very different.

Doctor Doom laughed happily behind his mask, "Sure enough, you have all noticed that this dish is the oldest famous dish in Latvinia. It was the favorite dish of Doom's mother back then. Bats and toads are both magic. They are very energetic and belong to the animals in the dark world. Eating them often can keep the magic energy in the body in a sufficient state. It is a very good food for magicians. Destruction knows that both of them are magicians with profound magic powers. , so I specially added it to the recipe. I hope you like it. Next, we will face a series of fierce battles. I hope our magic will never fade and we will be invincible."

Having said that, Dr. Doom raised his glass. The host had already raised his glass. As a guest, he could only raise his glass. After drinking a glass of red wine, Dr. Doom set an example and took the lead in opening the table. He tasted the food on the table with relish. There is a theory that as a king, he should make his people respect and love him like a father. At the same time, the king should also love his people like his own children. He should enjoy the food sent by his people with peace of mind, but it must be done willingly by his people. What is given by the people is not taken by extortion. Similarly, the food given by the people should be eaten with love and deep affection like a father.

p; So only when he is in Latvinia, Doctor Doom has a real appetite. He eats a lot, and he masters magic and technology at the same time, which consumes a lot of money on his body. He has little time to rest, so food is a supplement. The best source of energy, but he rarely lets the kitchen prepare so many favorite dishes, because these dishes not only look very... special, but also can be seen from the appearance. It is very troublesome to cook this dish. , it takes a lot of effort to make the originally fresh and delicious ingredients into such a special look.

There are recipes for these dishes. If you make them with your eyes closed, you won't be able to achieve this effect. They have been passed down for thousands of years and have been passed down by word of mouth. If you make a fool of yourself with precious ingredients, , Dr. Destruction will definitely be angry, and then the only way is to be destroyed.

Li Kang glanced at the Mandarin, he politely pushed the dishes in front of him, and said with concern in his tone, "The Mandarin attacked Tokyo and had a series of deadly battles with the Japanese high school students driving Gundam, which severely damaged Germany. Gu La's arrogance is really due to his hard work. I have nothing to express. I heard that Lord Mandarin you are a famous gourmet. You usually eat all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. I have nothing to express. I am here to lend flowers to the Buddha. , I haven’t done anything, so I’m not very hungry. These delicacies carefully prepared by Doctor Doom cannot be wasted, so they are dedicated to you, Lord Mandarin. Please open your appetite and don’t be polite.”

The Mandarin looked at the pile of delicacies in front of him with an expressionless face, and a million cao mud horses were galloping in his heart. He finally figured it out. These so-called delicacies were all prepared for magicians, Latvinia About 100% of the population are Gypsies. These people are originally a tribe of magicians. They were originally regarded by the major European countries as being like rats and fleas, spreading plague. Almost from the birth of this nation, they were expelled and persecuted. In order to protect themselves, the Gypsies had to learn some black magic. Gradually, the black magic became tied to the Gypsies.

Later, with the rise of Christianity and the beginning of the Dark Ages, Christianity excluded and persecuted magic. The status of Gypsies was unprecedentedly underground. In order to survive, almost every Gypsy had to learn some magic, and magic came with a price. Learn magic while being ignorant. It is a very terrible thing, and the price paid is very heavy, so the recipe passed down by the Gypsies is actually a magician's recipe, specially supplied to magicians.

Think about the time when Doctor Strange taught himself magic and broke his body. The food he ate at that time was actually similar to the Latvian food in front of him now. This kind of food is really hard for ordinary people's taste buds to enjoy. Those strange ingredients, It's not from this dimension, but ingredients from the magical world.

But the problem is that although the Mandarin can also do magic, what he learns is the magic unique to the Eastern Celestial Dynasty. The magic he uses is the energy of the earth itself, not like those Western magicians, who have to get it from the universe and all kinds of weird food. Obtain energy, and Western magicians all have the temperament of a scholar. They are all like old academics. Basically, the stronger the magic, the worse their physical fitness, and they are all powerless.

The "magicians" of the Chinese dynasty are completely different. The magicians of the Chinese dynasty are called Heavenly Masters and Sword Immortals. Magic power is indeed important, and force is equally important. If you don't have the ability to go up the mountain to fight tigers, you can even go up to the mountain where these sword immortals live in seclusion. If you don't go, you will be swallowed by mountain spirits and wild beasts before you reach the halfway point. Therefore, although the Mandarin is also a very powerful mage, he is extremely capable of hand-to-hand combat. He is besieged by more than a dozen strong warriors for training every day. He can easily defeat these The samurai defeated him. In terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, even kung fu masters such as Shangqi Master and Iron Fist would be a little afraid of him. Without a body as strong as a tiger, how could he control the magic of a wolf and a tiger? Therefore, the Mandarin usually wears fine clothes. Shi is a food connoisseur. He has never touched the shit-like food that magicians eat. Today, Dr. Doom’s hospitality is hard to refuse. Li Kang is desperately digging holes. It seems that this meal is something that you can eat or not eat. Gotta eat.

The Mandarin chose the most human-like dish from the dishes on the table and ate it with his eyes closed. For a moment, he cried. The past of life passed by in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, with all five flavors... ..
