Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 297 Never Forget the Original Intention, Stay True to Your Heart!

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

At dawn, the black horse sniffed, and as soon as it opened its eyes, it instinctively reached for its weapon, only to find that it grasped nothing.

Looking again, I found myself lying on a clean and tidy bed.

Meanwhile, his vice-captain, Danai, was lying sprawled out, fast asleep like a log.

"Damn it! Get up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

Black Horse kicked Danai, but Danai only opened her eyes groggily.

"This room is too expensive! Let me sleep a little longer, otherwise it'll be such a waste!" Feeling the bright light shining into her eyes, Danai instinctively grabbed the blanket next to her, pulled it over her head, and went back to sleep...

They even found a very reasonable excuse for themselves.

Dark Horse: I'm so angry!

He was sleeping so soundly that he had lost all the alertness that an adventurer should have.

If there had been an enemy attack last night, the two of them would probably have had their throats slit without even realizing it.

Thinking of this, Heima couldn't help but sigh that Longcheng was simply a paradise of gentle pleasures.

He made up his mind: this place was too dangerous, and he had to leave as soon as possible; he absolutely could not become addicted to it.

Thinking of this, Black Horse directly pulled off Danai's blanket, and Danai sat up groggily.

"It's almost noon and you're still sleeping? Aren't you hungry?" Black Horse snapped irritably.

Gollum~

Danai smelled it too at this moment.

It seemed like someone was preparing delicious food on the shopping street, and my stomach immediately started growling.

"Let's go! Let's hurry and go to Dragon City to see if we can find anything good," Danai said.

He would never admit that he was attracted by the delicious taste and wanted to see what it was.

He'll definitely try it as long as the price isn't too outrageous.

"Okay, let's go," Black Horse said, waving his hand.

After all, I had been engaged in a chase last night and was severely exhausted.

and.

The dark horse was at the forefront all night, fighting the fiercest battle, and is now starving.

The two reached an agreement and immediately left the Dragon Gate Inn, following the scent.

"Is this the corn that's just started to smell so good? It smells even better the more you smell it!"

A moment later, the two arrived at the entrance of the commercial street and saw the soft and sticky corn being steamed by the shopkeeper in the corn shop. Both Black Horse and Danai subconsciously licked their lips.

However, neither of them was in a hurry to buy it.

After all, they had all witnessed the prices of goods in Dragon City.

Before buying, it's best to ask questions to avoid getting ripped off.

"How much is one ear of corn?" Black Horse asked first.

"Guest, corn is a specialty of Longcheng. It's sweet, soft, and delicious, and it's not expensive. One ear costs only 100 energy stones. Would you like five or ten?" The shop assistant spoke skillfully, using the sales pitch Xiao Yu had taught him, with a warm smile.

Five sticks or ten sticks?

Upon hearing this, the dark horse's lips twitched.

Is this giving him only one of two choices?

He wanted to say that he only needed two, so that the two of them could try them.

But before he could finish speaking, he said, "Then give me five."

"Okay! Here you go! Be careful, it's hot right out of the pot!" Before Black Horse could finish speaking, less than three seconds later, the clerk deftly picked up five ears of corn, wrapped them in parchment paper, and handed them to Black Horse.

Seeing this, Heima opened his mouth, but still took it, paid, and left.

"Here you go!" Black Horse handed Danai two sticks, and then started eating as he walked.

He opened his blood-red mouth wide and took a large piece of corn kernels.

The next second, as he chewed carefully, the burly man's eyes lit up instantly.

I originally thought that something bought for only 100 energy stones wouldn't taste very good.

But now...

"It's absolutely delicious! And the price is so cheap!" Black Horse exclaimed sincerely.

"Yes! It has a delicate texture, is smooth and delicious, soft, sweet and fragrant, and tastes amazing!" Danai also praised it highly.

This corn was among the top three most delicious foods he had ever eaten.

The two quickly finished eating five ears of corn.

However, due to the immense energy depleted from last night's battle, and the formidable strength of both individuals,

This amount of corn still wasn't enough to satisfy their appetites.

"Captain, let's not eat corn yet! There's a restaurant here, they should have some good food, let's go in and take a look." Black Horse originally wanted to show off ten more ears of corn, since each one cost 100 energy stones, he didn't care about the price at all.

However, Danai pointed to the food court in front of them and said...

"Alright, let's take a look first, but don't eat too well. Don't forget, we're adventurers!" Black Horse patted Danai on the shoulder, reminding him, "Don't forget your original intentions, stay true to your principles!"

He always kept in mind that they were adventurers.

Adventurers who indulge in too much will lose their vigilance and are not far from their demise.

However, what he didn't know was that he would soon forget those words!

"Welcome!" A pretty young woman greeted us with a bow as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the food court.

"Hello!" Seeing the pretty girl smiling at him, Black Horse subconsciously waved.

As the two entered the restaurant, they looked around and were once again amazed by its luxury.

However, before the two could look any further, Xiao Zhuo, the young waitress who had come to work and was also the manager of the restaurant's lobby, approached them with a smile and asked:

"What would you two like to eat? We have all sorts of delicious food that you can't find anywhere else."

"Thank you, but we'll just take a look first. We might not necessarily eat it," Black Horse waved his hands repeatedly.

Always stay true to yourself and don't be tempted by external things.

But then Danai suddenly tugged at his sleeve, pointed at the cashier, and asked Xiao Zhuo, "Are those things really free to eat?"

There was a crystal jar the size of a washbasin, filled with Jerusalem artichokes.

Next to the crystal jar was a large sign that stated the dish was a complimentary gift.

Eat as much as you want, it's free!

"Yes! As long as you enter the store, you can eat for free!" Xiao Zhuo assured him.

She learned last night that many guests were coming, so she immediately began preparations.

"Eat whatever you want?" Danai asked again, uncertainly.

"Yes! You can eat as much as you want!" Xiao Zhuo replied with a smile.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony!" Black Horse exclaimed excitedly.

He would have some reservations if it were a paid service, but it's free...

"Please help yourselves, gentlemen!" Xiao Zhuo smiled and gestured.

However, she had already begun to silently mourn for the two of them.

These two were the first to be tricked by the city lord.

"Thank you!" The two men from the Black Horse nodded and went straight to the crystal jar.

There are dozens of small plates, each about the size of a fist, stacked together.

Without any hesitation, the two picked up a small plate and filled it with Jerusalem artichokes.

Then, I randomly found a corner, picked up my chopsticks, and started eating.

"Mmm, it's sweet and sour, it's so delicious!" Black Horse's eyes lit up instantly after taking just one bite.

I originally thought that free food must taste terrible.

But now, he has fallen in love with this food called Jerusalem artichoke, and he's eager to continue eating.

"Crisp and refreshing, it's really delicious!" Danai nodded excitedly.

He was usually a bit clever but not very wise. Now that he had the chance to eat for free, he naturally wouldn't miss it and immediately started to feast.

The two quickly finished the entire plate of Jerusalem artichokes.

Then...

The two men, shameless as ever, filled another plate under the watchful eyes of several waiters in the lobby.

Before long, the plate was finished.

"Oh dear, why do I feel like I'm getting hungrier the more I eat?" After eating two plates, Black Horse felt hungrier and hungrier. He had only one urge: to devour a hundred ears of corn in one go.

"Me too, how about some staple food?" Danai asked tentatively, his eyes darting around.

"it is good!"

The dark horse has long forgotten its original thoughts.

All I want to do right now is fill my stomach.
