A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 850 Does She Have a Vendetta Against Alex?

“You told me that one shouldn’t get distracted while practicing magic, Master Half-beard,” Amy said as she splayed her hands out before her in an innocent manner.

“I…” Krassu looked at Amy’s adorable little face, and simply couldn’t bear to scold or punish her. Furthermore, it was indeed true that he’d allowed himself to get distracted just then.

That accursed Alex! Next time I see him, I’m going to make him buy me some fine wine! Krassu thought to himself in an enraged manner.

“Alex! I, Conti Nicolas, will definitely become a dragon slayer just like you!!!” A fanatical voice suddenly sounded from at the foot of the city wall, and everyone turned in that direction to discover a fully armored donkey-riding knight looking up at Alex with excitement shimmering in his eyes.

Everyone immediately burst into laughter at the sight of that comical combination. No matter how anyone looked at it, this donkey rider certainly didn’t seem capable of killing a giant dragon.

Mag was just about to depart when he looked down with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The smile on Conti’s face remained as bright as ever, and he seemed to be completely unfazed by the derisive laughter around him.

“You’ve got a good steed, Conti Nicolas. I’ve remembered your name, and I hope that when I see this name again, it’ll be Dragon Slayer Conti Nicolas,” Mag said with a smile, and then glanced at Firis before flying away atop his purple-striped griffin.

An incredulous silence settled over the entire crowd as everyone stared at Conti with disbelief in their eyes. They couldn’t believe that a donkey-riding knight like him had been acknowledged by Alex. Could it be that he had some powerful abilities that he’d been hiding from everyone?

I’ll make sure of it!

Conti’s smile widened even further as he looked on at the departing griffin, then turned around, and rode away on his donkey steed.

Following Alex’s departure, all of the surrounding spectators also gradually dispersed.

However, Alex’s arrival in Chaos City and the public announcement that he had just made was most definitely going to be hot topic on everyone’s lips for quite some time to come.

Firis withdrew her gaze and turned to the wary soldiers on the city wall around her as she said in a calm manner, “I wish to seek refuge in Chaos City.”

A man who appeared to be a leader among the soldier made his way toward Firis, and said, “Please come with me; I’ll take you to the city lord’s castle.”

Firis nodded before following him down the city wall, and the two of them traveled toward the city lord’s castle.

Don’t worry, Princess, I’ll be sure to thrive in Chaos City, then look after the young mistress, and we’ll both be waiting for you to come and find us, Firis vowed inwardly in a determined manner.

…

Just as the entirety of Chaos City was still basking in the vastly pleasant surprise of Alex’s visit, Mag had changed back into his normal clothes, and was riding along a small mountain path on his bike. The two Red-top Tricolor Ducks were strapped to the handlebars of the bicycle, and they’d already fallen unconscious from the bumpy ride.

That performance just then wasn’t just something that Mag had put on in the heat of the moment; he really did want to do something. He wanted to play a role and do his part in helping all of the oppressed wandering elves all over the continent.

His declaration coupled with the official announcement made by Chaos City should be able to intimidate all of the orc and demon mercenary squads, thereby creating a safer environment for all of the vulnerable wandering elves.

Chaos City had opened a door to these wandering elves, but in doing so, they’d also given these mercenary squads an alluring target. If he and Chaos City didn’t do anything, the wandering elves all over the continent could be harmed even more than in the past.

“It’s time the reverse the roles of hunter and prey,” Mag murmured to himself. He then looked at pair of ducks hanging from his handlebars, and his mood was lifted significantly as he asked internally, “I’ve caught these two ducks, so I’ve completed the mission, right, System?”

“Congratulations on capturing two Red-top Tricolor Ducks within the allotted time period. As your reward, you will receive a Quanjude Peking Duck recipe as well as all of the ingredients and kitchenware required to cook the dish,” the system replied.

Mag’s smile widened even further as he looked at the golden experience bag that had just appeared in his mind.

Peking Duck was one of Mag’s all-time favorite dishes.

Bianyifang and Quanjude’s Peking Duck dishes each had their own unique flavors, but among the two, Mag had a slight preference for Quanjude’s Peking Duck.

Bianyifang was the oldest restaurant in Beijing to have begun cooking Peking Duck, and they had a history of over 600 years. Their roast ducks were cooked in a sealed oven, and throughout the entire cooking process, the ducks couldn’t be checked on, nor could they be moved, so timing and temperature control were imperative. A good Bianyifang roast duck had crispy skin over a soft and juicy interior, making for a brilliant culinary experience when coupled with fresh vegetables and condiments.

In contrast, Quanjude’s roast ducks were cooked by being hung over open-flame ovens, and the restaurant had successfully made Peking Duck a renowned dish worldwide.

Mag had also visited other popular new roast ducks restaurants in the past few years, but Quanjude’s traditional roast duck dish was still his favorite.

However, not long ago, Quanjude began to roast their ducks using electrical ovens, thereby making the dish lose its soul in Mag’s eyes. That was very disappointing to him, and he very rarely visited the restaurant thereafter.

Mag was very much looking forward to learning this recipe as the system had guaranteed that this was the traditional Peking Duck recipe—as opposed to the recipe for the same dish cooked in an electrical oven. Just the thought of being able to make perfect Quanjude Peking Duck on his own was making Mag very excited.

Thus, Mag rode his bicycle back to the city gates in an inconspicuous manner, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he overheard the spirited conversations regarding Alex’s recent visit.

If these people were made aware of the fact that he was Alex, all of their beliefs would probably crumble in a heap.

Right at this moment, someone near the city gates suddenly yelled, “Giant dragon!”

Mag looked up to find a rather familiar Frost Dragon flying over from afar, then descending before adopting its human form, and sending everyone scurrying away with the frosty aura that was emanating from its body.

It’s her! Mag was rather surprised to find that this was none other than Elizabeth. This wasn’t his first time seeing a giant dragon anymore, so he was no longer struck by a sense of fear. Furthermore, Elizabeth occasionally visited his restaurant for a meal, and she seemed to very interested in Miya, which was why Mag had a strong impression of her.

Elizabeth glanced at Mag, but didn’t greet him as she walked directly past him.

However, just as she’d walked through the city gates, she suddenly stopped as she turned to a portly middle-aged man standing off to the side, and then asking in a cold voice, “Did you just stay Alex came to Chaos City?”

The middle-aged man was only an ordinary merchant, and he was petrified by Elizabeth’s cold glare. Even his voice was trembling as he replied, “He… He was here not long ago, but he’s already left…”

“Where did he go?” Elizabeth’s hands balled up into tight fists, and her voice grew even colder. There were even traces of ice and frost that were beginning to spread along the ground around her.

“I… I don’t know…” The merchant looked as if he were about to burst into tears. How was he supposed to know where Alex had gone? He was just a cucumber salesman who was trying to boast to his friends!

Elizabeth withdrew her gaze as white snow flower blossomed beneath her feet, and she abruptly disappeared on the spot.

Does she have a vendetta against Alex? Mag thought to himself in a puzzled manner as he entered the city.
