Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Thick velvet carpet separated the airtight hall, and the dim but charming candlelight illuminated the gilded tableware.

The light that shines through the stained glass is like a blade that can cut through anything without staining the slightest trace of blood. It can simply penetrate the banquet hall and divide it into two halves.

At this time, perhaps we should praise Huishan Hall and the Tianheng family for their incredible level of restoration of ancient buildings.

It was obvious that Pantalone was not the only distinguished guest with a viewing seat. On the suspended platform surrounding the banquet hall, there were also heads of the major merchant houses of Liyue sitting on their seats.

There are no glass mirrors blocking the view around these seats, but due to the overall weakening of the building structure and the use of light and shadow techniques, even if they are on almost the same horizontal line, it is impossible to tell who is sitting in other seats from different seats. Only vaguely visible figures could be seen, and then the entire venue fell silent.

The hosts of the banquet gathered in the golden room. All the guests were powerful beings in their own country. Their background and power were almost invisible to ordinary people.

These high towers are shrouded in clouds and mist, and are heavily locked. People without authority will never be able to imagine the singing and singing behind the doors. Falling from the high towers to dust may only be a matter of seconds, but starting from the bottom and climbing up layer by layer. What is needed is hardship that is difficult to measure even in time.

"Dear friends, on behalf of Yin Yuan Hall, I would like to welcome you to this golden heart and have a feast together."

The crystal refracted a light-colored light, slightly illuminating the booth at the Golden House Owner's Venue. A cool and melodious voice came from it. Following the voice, everyone turned their heads and saw the host in dark red clothing coming from Appearing in dim light and shadow.

"Maybe some of the guests don't know me, so please allow me to introduce you."

"I am the director of Liyue Yinyuan Hall and the initiator of this banquet, Ning Lan."

Nowadays, Ninglan no longer looks as tired as she did when she first met the traveler. She looks around at the guests in the venue with high spirits and an eager face. Her intoxicating smile exudes a very oppressive charm, as if her heart is being squeezed. Stop pumping blood.

"Before the auction begins, please enjoy the delicious food here until the grandest moment comes."

Ninglan's opening remarks were a little brief in this semi-official banquet, and some sentence patterns and words were equally unclear. However, none of the guests raised any questions. The guests toasted to the desserts and wine at the same time. And dishes are constantly pushed out from the small door in the side hall for guests to feast on.

The warm and graceful band performance sounded, the smell of tobacco mixed with the scent of perfume, the ladies in gold and silver were whispering and laughing intimately, the strong and eager appetite gradually rose, and even the air was like ripe fruit pulp. , if you bite it out of thin air, juice may flow out.

Ning Guang did not touch the dishes brought out by the waiter. He just held the wine glass and wandered among the revelry in the banquet hall. His red eyes were dim and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Famas, who was sitting in the viewing seat, sensed the elemental power and strange hunger permeating the air of the venue. His eyes were full of disgust, but he also increased his breathing rate as if he was enjoying it.

The moment Ning Lan appeared, he discovered that the machine provided by the Fools had been fully activated, and the wishes of each badge bearer were being transferred to Ning Lan through the device.

The door behind Pantalone's seat was also knocked, and Irina entered first. Under the instructions of the rich man, many authentic winter dishes were placed on the long table.

The pre-dinner dessert uses milky yellow fat that is heated to a high temperature and becomes liquid. Pour it into the prepared egg whites, stir and foam until thick, and spread it on the baked small cup cake. It is Fontaine's very famous dessert soufflé. .

The appetizer is made from leg muscles, cut into thin slices with a sharp knife, soaked in a sauce of Liyue white wine and lemon, marinated for 10 minutes, and grated cheese is used to neutralize the spiciness of the white wine. It is served with refreshing purple cabbage shreds. The meat is used as the skin to make a unique pre-dinner meat roll. The last spoonful of boiling oil is poured over it to make it cooked, and the meat is fragrant.

The main course is more luxurious and has a wide variety. According to the waiter, the dish placed in front of Famas is a whole piece of skin-on front leg meat, which is burned with firewood to remove the hair and then washed.

Then cut it into long sections about two centimeters wide, roll it into a columnar shape, wrap it in a casing, and then put it into the broth made from beef bones and cook it for about two hours until the roll has been cooked and wrapped in the casing. In the process, use a needle to pierce the casing to release the heat, then put it in an ice cellar to refrigerate, then take it out after freezing, showing a crystal clear texture...

All these things are nothing more than this. Even if Zhongli himself is here, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to know how to make every dish.

At this luxurious banquet, Pantalone just poured himself a glass of water, then slowly sliced ​​the smoked cod on a white porcelain plate, and served it with toast spread with orange marmalade.

The big banker could still control his appetite, but Irina could not help swallowing her fluids while waiting for her. All the guests in the banquet hall seemed to be affected to varying degrees, but they were completely unaware of the environment they were in.Just when Irina was about to lose control of her manners and was about to step forward to enjoy the meal, Famas raised his hand and gently tapped the long table filled with dishes with his index finger.

In an instant, the divine power that symbolized brutal war passed over the seats where the three of them were sitting, quickly devouring the spread of appetite in a crushing manner.

Pantalone was about to put the food into his mouth, but after Famas's nimble move, his hand covered with luxurious rings and holding fish meat stopped gracefully at his mouth, followed by surprise. and suppressed rage.

Irina, who had also recovered, condensed the blue water mirror in an instant, and was ready to escape from the banquet hall with Pantalone at any time. The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes and looked at Famas, who seemed as if nothing had happened.

"I know both of you want to say thank you, but it doesn't have to be that way."

It seemed that he was very happy to see Pantalone's slightly angry look. Famas smiled very happily, and after a brief thought, the rich man once again regained his cold appearance as a banker, but he was careful with his silver spoon. He pushed the plate in front of him away.

"Irina, put away your water mirror... We have underestimated this Ms. Ninglan and her determination to resurrect the gods."

"Thank you very much for your timely action. Dear Lord Famas, if you don't mind, could you explain to me a little bit about what just happened?"

Pantalone tilted her head slightly, still smiling like a gentleman, and looked at Famas gently, waiting for the other party's response.

"We use our appetite as a source of pleasure and feast on its meat until the grandest feast, the "meat sacrifice" comes. "

Famas murmured the ritual prayers in a soft tone, and the guests enjoying the food in the banquet hall became more and more rude. Some people even ignored their appearance and swallowed while holding their plates.

"The Meat-Sacrifice was originally a banquet only for the gods, but later it was used as a ritual to sacrifice the devil. All participants will become the cornerstone of the extravagant banquet, and they will feel happy even if they partake in it. The banquet often has a real "staple dish" ” for the devil himself to come and taste. "

"This kind of banquet is too weird. The demon god who invented the evil sacrifice was quickly burned out in the fire. But before he died, the demon god left a curse. If the believers can no longer remember this joy, let their children remember it. Get up, in that scariest dream..."

Famas seemed unwilling to go into too much detail. After briefly explaining the process and purpose of the "Meat Sacrifice", he stopped at the right time. Pantalone frowned and stood up to look at the people who were still standing in the banquet hall. Ninglan.

The food provided at the banquet was quite sufficient, but some guests started to fight over the food. The restlessness was quickly suppressed by the security personnel responsible for the order of the venue, and those guests were still chewing in their mouths when they were asked out of the banquet hall.

Ning Lan just stood in the middle of the slightly chaotic venue, with a smile like the tip of a crescent moon.

"This banquet just complements the function of the "Hive Machine", right? "

Pantalone quickly guessed Ninglan's intention and tentatively asked Famas for confirmation.

"Indeed, apart from the damage and sacrifice caused by this ritual, it can be regarded as a good idea."

Famas nodded calmly, as if he had no intention of informing the big banker in advance of the final outcome of the meat sacrifice ceremony.

As far as he knew, no mortals who had held the meat sacrifice ceremony had survived so far. In the past when there was a lack of food, the mortals near the end of the sacrifice would devour each other until the inspired demon came.

But coincidentally, Famas once rescued a mutilated little girl who was about to be sacrificed for staple food at a certain evil god's meat sacrifice.

As later stories have been told, the little girl became the Hand of the King of Munata, named after the god of war, Akhtar Harpas. (End of chapter)
