Zuan and Lu Yu arrived at Valoran's starting point. Standing in front of this evil, terrifying, and powerful city-state, the three of them were very eye-catching.
Lu Yu could not help but sigh as he looked at the gray and black buildings. He had changed so much in just half a year. This place had produced a cowardly, drifting, and useless otaku, but what had returned was a cruel, cruel, gentle, and scheming peerless expert.
"Zuan's clothes are very special. The colors are either dark green, grayish-black, dark blue, or reddish-brown. If we go in like this, we might be arrested directly.”
Vi grew up in Zuan's old enemy, Pi City. She naturally knew Zuan's characteristics. When she was a law enforcement officer, she was on guard every day to see if Zuan's people had snuck in. If he didn't even understand this, then he would really be neglecting his duty.
"Then let's find a few sets of clothes first!”
Caitlyn had once targeted Lu Yu because of his clothes. He did not want to make the same mistake twice, even if it was not a bad thing for him.
With two mages and an expert thief, stealing clothes was naturally a simple matter. When the few of them appeared again, they had already changed their clothes.
"Zuan's clothes are indeed strange. This robe is actually made like a long dress.”
Although she knew the basic style of Zuan's clothes, Vi still could not figure out what she was wearing.
At first glance, she was wearing a black robe that covered her from head to toe. If he put on that big hat, almost no one would be able to see him in the dark. However, the lower half of the robe had the hem of a long dress, which looked indescribably awkward.
"Don't worry about this. In any case, we came here to find Janna. After we find Janna, we can naturally take off these clothes.”
Gade was eager to see his daughter. If Lu Yu had not been with him, he might have been on the streets of Zuan by now.
"But Zuan isn't small either. It's not easy to find a person in a city-state. Do you have Janna's exact location?”Vi continued to ask.
Lu Yu shook his head and said," Although we don't know the exact location, according to the news, Janna often appears in the main city. It's much easier to search in a main city than in a city-state. Plus, Gard can sense it with magic, so the speed shouldn't be slow.”
Due to hereditary reasons, Janna's body would more or less carry Gard's wind magic elements. Through magic sensing, magic of the same origin would produce some kind of resonance, and it would sense the existence of Janna in the nearby area.
"Oh!"
Magic was a profound thing to Vi. When she heard Lu Yu's words, she only nodded her head in understanding.
Lu Yu did not expect Vi to understand anything, knowing that Gaard was burning with anxiety. Not wanting to waste any more time, he said,"It's time to set off. Let's go!"”
Lu Yu was the leader of the three of them. If he said that they were leaving, they could naturally take action.
As a main city, Zuan was about the same size as Pi City, and the space they used was similar. Pi City mainly had high-rise buildings, while Zuan preferred a deeper basement.
Compared to Pi City, Zuan City was more lively, or perhaps…more chaotic. On the not-so-wide street, there were all kinds of people. This place had its own characteristics, but those characteristics were rather disgusting.
"The newly refined sticky tentacles are deep and strong enough, and they won't harm the body. Madam, do you want to buy one to play with?”
"The new mechanical guards have their heads in their stomachs, so there's no need to worry about getting their heads blown off. They're definitely combat machines.”
"The Ogre Flower that has been cultivated for many years is the first choice for guarding the house. The probability of biting its owner is extremely low.”
……
Vi almost vomited when she saw the hawkers around her hawking their evil and completely unaesthetic goods. Even the dirtiest and messiest place in Pi City wasn't even one-tenth of this place. How could she stand the sight of those disgusting things all over the streets?
"Don't look, don't listen, just pretend they don't exist.”
Although Lu Yu felt uncomfortable looking at these things, he was a man after all. Moreover, he had been baptized by bloody scenes, so these things did not affect him much. He gently hugged Vi's slender waist and comforted her.
"I'm fine!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wei immediately pretended to be calm. Although she was no longer on the same level as Lu Yu, in some aspects…She still did not want Lu Yu to look down on her.
Lu Yu did not know what Vi was thinking. Seeing that a few streets had been searched, he asked Gaard, who was still concentrating on sensing," Did you sense it?"”
Gaard shook his head in disappointment. He was anxious and naturally wanted to find Janna as soon as possible. However, it was not easy to find someone in Zuan.
"I'm fine! Continue!"
Lu Yu was not in a hurry. Although he also wanted to go to Birgiwater to find Jinx as soon as possible, compared to the torment that Gaard had suffered for more than ten years, his was nothing.
Half a day passed quietly, but Gad still did not find any trace of Janna. Instead, it was the strange gazes of the passersby around him that made him feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Strange, ten years ago, I only caused a few days of destruction here. There shouldn't be many people who saw my true appearance. Moreover, it had been so long. The Zuan officials should not have discovered it!
Gaard was a little puzzled, but from the looks of the people around him, they did not seem to be hostile or vigilant. Instead, there was a sense of disdain. However, since Gaard could find Janna as soon as possible, he did not want to care about these things.
"It's already lunchtime. Let's eat something first!”
As the day approached, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased. The few of them were not made of iron, so they naturally had to eat what they needed to eat.
They found a random restaurant by the roadside. The three of them waited for the food while discussing the future.
"Gard, after we find Janna, are you going with me to Birgiwater or to Grayfus?”
"Since Gaard is already Master's subordinate, he naturally has to follow Master.”Gaard said respectfully.
"Alright then! In the future, I plan to rebuild my power in Birgivat. If you can follow me, I will save a lot of effort.”
Lu Yu was prepared to find Jinx and settle down there first before gradually cultivating his own forces. Having a powerful and resourceful person like Gard by his side was naturally a great help.
"It is my duty to serve my lord.”
"Ladies, your dishes are here.”
Just as Gard was swearing his loyalty, the waiter served the dishes. However, the way he addressed them seemed a little inappropriate. Moreover, the way he looked at Gard was a little strange. He put the dishes down and ran away in a hurry. It was as if the three of them had some kind of virus.
"Did I hear wrongly just now? He called us ladies. Can't he tell that you two are men?”Vi looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.
"Maybe his eyes are not good!"
Lu Yu did not want to waste time on these things. He looked at the food on the table and his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
They had only casually asked the restaurant to serve a few of their signature dishes without looking at the menu. But now, it seemed that not only did Zuan dress strangely, but he also ate strangely.
It was hard to imagine what kind of method they used to make the top of the dishes float with a black smoke in the shape of a skeleton. Moreover, the unknown meat that seemed to have been cooked was still moving rhythmically as if it was alive. Even the most ordinary vegetables were covered in some kind of mucus, which was definitely not sauce.
Lu Yu would definitely not eat such a dish. Vi and Gaard also looked like they did not want to eat it. Obviously, they did not have the ability to challenge such a dark dish.
"Boss!"
Lu Yu slapped the table and shouted at the counter.
"Respected guest, what can I do for you?”
The boss was a fat man who looked like a toad. When he heard Lu Yu's voice, he immediately ran over. When he saw Gaard, he was also surprised for a moment, but he quickly recovered!
"Take these vegetables away. I want to use the kitchen. These are my expenses.”
Without even looking at the boss, Lu Yu threw a handful of silver coins on the table and said like a tycoon.
Seeing the silver coins, the boss's eyes immediately widened. This amount was equivalent to his turnover for several days. Naturally, he agreed and kept the silver coins.
Lu Yu, you're going to cook!"
Vi's eyes widened. She could not imagine how a man like Lu Yu could handle food that even she did not know how to cook. Gaard was also a little surprised. This domineering and bloodthirsty Lord actually knew how to cook like a little man at home!
"Could it be that you want to eat Zuan's specialty dishes?”Lu Yu replied indifferently and followed the boss to the kitchen. Vi really wanted to see what her man would look like when he cooked, so she followed him.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Lu Yu finally understood why Zuan's dishes were so special. The chefs who cooked all looked strange. They looked alike in everything except for humans. Even their genders were hard to tell from the surface.
As for their cooking methods, they were even more unique. Cultivation tanks, dissecting knives, refining furnaces... This was completely alchemy!
Fortunately, the ingredients were still normal, and the pots and pans were placed aside. Otherwise, he could only eat those alchemical dishes. Even though years of consuming gutter oil, poisonous capsules, and poisonous milk powder had given Lu Yu a strong resistance, he did not want to suffer.
He didn't care about the contemptuous looks from the few people. He casually cooked a few dishes and carried them out.
Vi was a little disappointed that Lu Yu didn't use his dazzling cooking skills. However, after eating the ordinary side dish, she immediately shouted without caring about her image. "It's too delicious."
The few weirdos in the kitchen couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard this. Was it that delicious? Was something that didn't even have alchemy techniques edible?
Although they thought so, their curiosity was still aroused. One of them picked up the remaining residue in the pot and took a small bite. However, this bite made his eyes widen and his entire person freeze. When the others saw him like this, their curiosity was piqued and they began to taste it. However, they also revealed the same expression.
After a long while, they came back to their senses. Unexpectedly, they actually grabbed the pot that had just been fried and licked the bottom of the pot clean in disgust.
The pot was already brighter than when it was being washed. The few of them looked at each other and a thought popped up in their minds…
