After Being Fancied by a Necromancer

Accompanied by the deep and majestic siren sound, the huge cruise ship set sail.

This sound startled a flock of seabirds, and they flapped their wings to play music for this journey.

The cruise ship cut through the waves, the propellers vibrated the sea water, and layers of white waves roared.

Its speed was getting faster and faster, and the stern left long ripples on the water.

Cyril did not feel any bumps of the cruise ship in the room, and it was as stable as on land.

If it weren't for the sea view outside through the window, it would give people the illusion that they are still in Rose Manor.

When the cruise ship started, he was reading: "The color-changing octopus, a good friend of the wizard! The meat is firm, the taste is strong, the teeth are refreshing, and the most important thing is that it is cheap and easy to get! According to the market price, a basket of five witch crystals If you catch it by yourself, it is recommended to use the 'Tickle Curse' to stimulate the octopus to change color and spray ink, and it is better to hit it with the 'Dizzy Curse' the moment it finishes spraying ink."

Next to the text is a vivid illustration of a color-changing octopus.

There are eight slender and plump arms and legs on the round and soft body, and there are fine suction cups on the arms and legs.

The whole octopus looks really... very elastic and refreshing.

Cyril understood rationally that he should stop reading here and turn the page directly to see the introduction of the next creature.

However, he couldn't hold back, and his eyes continued to drift down, and he saw the recipe part.

"Simple method: octopus in cold sauce. First remove the teeth and eyes, then wash the internal organs, and then put them in hot water until tender. At this time, you must pay special attention to grasping the timing. The octopus will not taste good when it is hot. Patiently Wait for a while, cut into small pieces after cooling, and simply stir with various seasonings such as lemon and pepper."

"Recommended method: Grilled octopus with sauce. First marinate the slices for flavor, and then grill it over high heat. After the grill is fragrant, then top it with the secret sauce (see the seasoning chapter)! It is delicious and delicious, eat ten in one go no problem!"

Cyril licked his lips subconsciously, as if he was also a little hungry.

Cooking is not active, thinking has problems.

He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was twelve o'clock, and it was indeed time for lunch.

So Cyril put down his book, happily went out, and went to the restaurant on the cruise ship.

At this time, the dining room was eerily quiet, occasionally the rustling voices of the people at the same table could be heard.

Cyril was surprised to find that there seemed to be something wrong with everyone's complexions.

The faces of the boys and girls were three parts indifferent and dignified, three parts were ashamed and resentful, and four parts were helpless.

A bad premonition suddenly came to him.

Cyril quickly glanced at the place where the dishes were placed in the restaurant, then his eyes froze.

On the clean long table, there were dishes with attractive aromas one after another, and there were fruit ornaments carved into flowers in the delicate golden vessels that served the dishes.

All kinds of fresh seafood are dazzling and eye-catching.

For example, a plate of red snails with red flames: the bottom of the white porcelain plate inlaid with gold is covered with a layer of crystal clear ice and snow, the red snails are at the top of the ice and snow, and there is a bright flame dancing on the thick Q-bomb snail meat , extremely dazzling.

Another example is some salt-and-pepper prawns that are being grilled on a delicate small charcoal stove: the surface is covered with a layer of clear oil and roasted by the flame, it looks crispy, the prawn meat is white and red, and the aroma is overflowing.

The wire mesh of this small charcoal stove will also automatically flip.

But these exquisite and delicious dishes are shrouded in a layer of faint white light, as if covered with a white glass cover.

A number is displayed on each glass cover, and the numbers vary in size.

There is a brass bulletin board next to the long table, on which it is written concisely and clearly: 【Black bread and clean water are full (remind again, no wasting food is allowed), please pay for the rest of the dishes according to the price.The price on the dishes is the price of wujing, the waiter can charge gold coins and wujing, the exchange rate is 1 wujing=100 gold coins, no counter-offer is accepted.Friendly reminder: the casino is located on the ground floor of the Black, high risk and high return, welcome to visit. ] Good guy, Cyril's expression froze.

He said that the rules on the ship were very strange, and it didn't match the style that made the freshmen struggle desperately in the Rose Manor, so they were waiting here...

And what kind of overlord clause is "1 witch crystal = 100 gold coins"?

Isn't the general exchange rate on the wizard continent "1 witch crystal = 10 gold coins"?

How did it increase tenfold!What if they don't know?

Standing next to the brass bulletin board is a puppet figure in a black vest and white shirt, obviously this is the waiter of the restaurant.

Even though he was alone, he didn't seem to be underestimated.

He was carrying a very sharp kitchen knife in his hand.

The crystal chandelier in the dining room reflected a dazzling light on the thin kitchen knife.

That's the way it is shiny, right?

It should be no problem to cut iron silently, right?

Isn't killing people as easy as chopping melons and vegetables?

Cyril's gaze shifted from the unfriendly puppet waiter to the paid dishes.

In a pile of food, he found the "color-changing octopus" he had just seen in the illustrations on the book before he came to the restaurant.

Coincidentally, the grilled flat octopus slices are quietly placed on a clean white porcelain plate, with a small dish of sauce next to it.

This looks like it was cooked according to the recipe for grilled octopus with the most recommended sauce in The Strange Creatures Cookbook.

Cyril looked up and saw the price of this dish - "50" Wu Jing.

His pupils quake.

In the "Strange Creatures Cooking Manual", it is clearly written that 5 Wu Jing can buy a large basket of fresh color-changing octopus!

Although the grilled octopus slices on this plate are exquisite and beautiful, it cannot stand the fact that there is at most one color-changing octopus on this plate.

This premium is too much!

Cyril then looked at the most common white bread, the price is "5" Wujing.

Gee.

A piece of white bread is ten times more expensive than the treasure potion in the window of the Steve Pharmacy on Crescent Street!

Cyril's face was indifferent.

The black heart restaurant is a real hammer.

What kind of pirate ship did he get on? ? ?

Cyril now only has 2 witch crystals and 5 gold coins.

Even if he broke his fortune, he couldn't afford a piece of ordinary white bread.

So he had no choice but to take a small piece of black bread.

As for why he only took such a small amount, he didn't forget the warning "no wasting food".

Try it first, in case there are other traps...

The quality of this black bread does not seem to be better than the black bread that Cyril found in the kitchen when he first came to this world, it was hard, rough and his throat was stuck.

He soaked the black bread in clear water to soften it before slowly putting it into his mouth.

After taking a bite, Cyril almost spit it out.

This black bread has reached a new level of unpalatable.

Of course he's not alone in thinking this way.

Most of the new students around are children of nobles who are well-clothed and well-fed, how can they get used to this kind of food.

Many people did bring a lot of gold coins with them before they set off, but they couldn't stand the way of eating 500 gold coins for a loaf of white bread.

This is forcing freshmen to try their luck in unknown casinos.

And judging by the rules of the restaurant, there's no telling what to expect in the casino.

Cyril couldn't help but miss the free delicacies that were always available in Rose Manor, and he sighed softly.

At this time, there was a sound of "啪——".

Cyril saw a tall young man with dark brown hair and overgrown beards put down heavily the plate containing black bread.

He was holding his cheek with one hand, grinning his teeth, and his face was full of an expression of "grass mud horse, I won't eat it".

Philip put down the dinner plate containing the black bread heavily in his hand, and there was still a faint tooth mark on the black bread on the plate.

He didn't know that the black noodles still needed to be soaked to soften, so he bit down on it directly, but it knocked his teeth.

Philip stood up, strode to the puppet waiter, and said in a tone of impatience suppressed as much as possible: "Here is a loaf of white bread."

Then he took out a brass card and handed it to the puppet waiter.

Cyril looked at the brass card in his hand from a distance.

After that bonus in the bath, his eyesight has become better now, and he can see clearly what is in that person's hand.

This brass card is extremely delicate, and you can see the precise, seamless, large and small gears inside.

There were also some numbers inlaid inside that were blocked by his hand, and Cyril only saw that the number in the last frame was "9".

The pattern on the back of the card half covered by the hand looks like a black rose flower.

"That is the membership card of the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce. It can also be used by ordinary people in the non-wizard mainland. You can exchange gold coins for witch crystals in advance, and pay for witch crystals when you can make transactions with wizards."

Warren came to Cyril with a plate.

He followed Cyril's gaze to the brass card in the man's hand, and explained.

"Grandpa gave me and Grace one each, too."

Warren paused and continued, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"However, there are not many witch crystals in it. I can't waste them all on food. I will definitely have a lot of things to buy when I arrive at the Wizard Continent."

That's it!

Cyril nodded.

That's right, an intermediary agency is definitely needed for transactions between wizards and ordinary people.

Cyril smiled at Warren.

"Thank you for your message."

"You're welcome," Warren replied quickly.

At the moment of their conversation, something happened on the side of the puppet waiter.

The puppet waiter still held the kitchen knife in one hand, and took out a similar brass card from his pocket with the other.

It flipped a few numbers with its thumb.

Immediately afterwards, it stretched out its hand to attach the card in its hand to the brass card in Philip's hand.

As if receiving a special induction, the gears on Philip's card turned.

After the gear stopped, the number on the card had changed.

Cyril saw the "9" at the end rolled to "4".

Afterwards, the puppet waiter put his brass card back into the pocket of the black vest, and took out a plate of white bread from the long table with food and handed it to Philip.

Cyril noticed that when the puppet's hand passed through the protective cover of the dish, a nearly transparent silk thread flashed across it.

"Why did you brush me 8 witch crystals!"

Philip did not take the plate of white bread immediately, but pointed to the numbers on the brass card angrily and questioned the puppet.

“No food waste!”

The puppet unhurriedly pointed to the place where Philip put down the black bread not far away, and the calm sound of the machine slowly sounded, each word paused, inexplicably carrying a hint of irony.

After explaining it, it didn't talk to Philip anymore. It just held the kitchen knife leisurely, turned its head without facial features 180 degrees, and "looked around" at the freshmen in the restaurant.

The surrounding freshmen, who were silently watching the behavior of the local tyrants spending a lot of money, all opened their eyes wide and gasped when they heard what they just said.

When they caught a glimpse of the puppet man's turning head, they hurriedly looked down at the rough black bread on the plate in their hands.

This thing is actually worth 3 witch crystals! 300 gold coins!

The key is that if you can't finish eating, you have to buckle Wu Jing!

The freshmen who took two or three slices of black bread without knowing the situation in advance were about to cry.

Who set the price!

Have the guts to set a price? Have the guts to come out and let them see!

Even if you can't move your hands, can't you hold grudges in your heart?

Cyril swallowed the black bread with difficulty, and gained a deeper understanding of the black heart of the owner of the restaurant.

3 witch crystals = 300 gold coins = 30000 silver coins = 300000 copper coins.

In the small town of Cowswood, a loaf of black bread only costs 1 copper coin.

This unscrupulous price is not as black as the sky and the dark clouds, and the thousand mountains and birds are not as dark as him.

"Will you go to the casino together later?"

Following Cyril's example, Warren soaked the black bread on the plate in clear water until soft.

He glanced at the black bread he had to eat in front of him with a stomach ache, then turned his head and asked Cyril.
