Main Text Chapter 23 Death of the Ancients
Putting the crumbs of bread in front of the seabird, Angell thought that the seabird would happily eat them, but he only received a disdainful sidelong glance from the seabird.
Angel thought that it didn't want to eat the bread crumbs, so he changed to fruits and dried meat. The seabird still turned its head away and didn't even look at it.
"Is it thirsty?" As soon as Angell finished speaking, the seabird's head began to peck at the rice again.
"Haha, it's really thirsty." Angell didn't think about it and poured a cup of cold water in front of the seabird.
Then, he got a slap in the face-
The seabird stretched out its wings, fluttered, and waved the cup away, falling into the boundless sea.
Then, something unexpected happened to Angell. The seabird actually flew directly into the house, wandered in the small room, and then stopped in front of his teacup.
The teacup still had tea leaves from the morning dew after the rain that he had brewed before.
"Oh--" Angell suddenly realized that it was the morning dew after the rain that attracted the seabird.
What are the characteristics of morning dew after rain? Angel didn't know before, but now he knows that morning dew after rain is magic plant. This seabird is attracted by magic plant, could it be considered a supernatural life?
Angel guessed that this seabird might really be raised by a top supernatural person, and only a wizard with incredible power could raise such a pet with such a unique style?
The seabird flapped its wings, pointed at the teacup, and then pointed at Angel.
Angel understood and added warm water to the teacup again. The tea from the ancient Chinese country in another world pays attention to the first water and the second tea. The taste of this second tea is more mellow than the first. The seabird originally disliked the "second-hand goods" in the teacup, but smelling the tea fragrance that filled the whole room, it instantly became ecstatic, and its wings fluttered in intoxication.
When the tea was full, the seabird put its sharp beak into the teacup without waiting for the water temperature to drop. With a slurping sound, the water line dropped until the tea leaves at the bottom were exposed.
The seabird was still not satisfied after drinking the tea, so Angel filled it up again. Anyway, he still had a lot of this kind of tea. Besides, he had already finished this cup of tea, so he was going to pour out the remaining tea leaves. Since the seabird wanted to drink it, it didn't matter if he poured it out later.
But what Angel didn't expect was that after drinking several cups of tea, the seabird directly ate the tea leaves at the bottom of the teacup, saving him the time of throwing away the garbage.
"Why not just change the name to 'Scavenger'? Even the tea leaves are not spared." Angel said speechlessly.
The seabird looked very satisfied after drinking the tea, and its eyes curved into a crescent shape. It ignored its "name change" again, but nodded to Angel very solemnly, as if to express its gratitude for the cup of tea. Then, in front of Angel, it tilted its head, took out a small golden card from the small shoulder bag hanging diagonally, and put it in front of Angel.
Seeing that Angel did not respond, the seabird deliberately pushed the card in Angel's direction.
"Hey, is this for me?" Angel finally understood what the seabird meant and picked up the thin little golden card.
Seeing Angel pick up the card, the seabird chirped softly, as if saying something, and before Angel could react, it sprinted out of the window.
When Angel looked out, the blue sky and white clouds were still there, where was the shadow of the seabird?
"It's interesting, and you still know how to repay a favor." Angel shook his head and chuckled: "The mentor once said that a cup of water should be repaid with a spring. Today, this is a cup of water, and a card is repaid?"
Angel ignored the disappearing seabird and looked at the card in his hand. The golden card was blank on one side and patterned on the other. The pattern was the seabird's bib and the purple-haired plump lady on the shoulder bag.
After rubbing it with his fingers, the pattern had a slight convexity, as if it was carved.
There must be a reason for such exquisite craftsmanship on such a thin card.
However, Angel knew nothing about this pattern. Even if the card had a deeper meaning, he didn't understand it. He didn't want to waste his time thinking about things that he couldn't figure out. He simply put the card in his pocket and continued his relaxing journey.
Accompanied by the rustling of the waves and the humming of the undercurrents rising from the sea, Angel took out a book and flipped through it.
Title: "Ancient Thoughts"
He found this book in a bookstore in Haiyue City. Most of the plots in it are collected by the author from mythological materials from all over the world and sorted out. In short, this is a mythological story, but it has a little more of the author's own views, so it is named Ancient Thoughts.
Angel didn't put the book down until the sunset illuminated the sky.
After reading it, Angel felt quite emotional. Instead of calling it "Ancient Thoughts", it is better to call it "Ancient Death". All the gods in the book ended up falling. Either to save humanity, or to fight against demons, or simply die of old age or illness. Anyway, none of them had a good ending. It is hard to tell whether the myths of ancient times are true or false. Maybe those so-called gods are just powerful wizards.
Ordinary people are mostly afraid of the unknown and resist the supernatural power silently. The "fall of gods" may just be the wizard leaving the old land continent, but the imagination of ordinary people is absolutely powerful. It has been a long time since the supernatural appeared, so it is possible to make up the "fall of gods" to make fun of it.
Stretching, Angel put down the book, looked at the sky, and decided to go to the restaurant for dinner first.
After living for nearly a month, Angel also had a general understanding of the Bauhinia. There are several restaurants on the Bauhinia, and there are restaurants on almost every floor. The class of the Bauhinia can also be distinguished from the layout of the restaurant and the delicacy of the food.
The Bauhinia restaurant on the top floor is the most exquisite and luxurious. Only wizard apprentices can go there. It is said that there is also a formal wizard on this ship, but whether the rumor is true or not is unknown.
There are some talented people like him on the Bauhinia, about dozens of them; they are found by the guides of the three wizard organizations, the White Coral Floating Island Academy, the Gravity Forest and the Hurricane Tower, in various continents. Talented people like them are considered the middle class on the Bauhinia, and the restaurant they use is the Baifu Restaurant on the middle floor.
As for the sailors and servants, they are in the Clover Canteen on the lower floor.
When Angel arrived at the Baifu Restaurant, it was just mealtime, and there were crowds of people coming and going. At this time, everyone had lost the pride of the talented people. They sat down obediently after taking the meal tray, and they ate whatever the chef cooked. No matter if you were a noble or a rich man before, here you are just a rookie who is about to embark on the road of wizards.
A rookie should look like a rookie, and unnecessary pride should be left until you are fully grown.
Ingres adhered to the doctrine of the mean taught by his mentor, and did not stand out. Like everyone else, he buried his head and respectfully took the plate of grilled fish and bread from the chef. He picked up some lettuce and winter fruit slices from the fruit and vegetable area on the side, and ordered a plate of garlic mashed scallop and potato soup, and then sat down near the window.
After eating grilled fish for half a month, Ingres now missed the Chinese food made by his mentor very much. When he thought that he would not be able to eat food that suits his taste in the next few years, his face immediately drooped.
"If I had known that I would live alone, I should have learned to cook from my mentor." Ingres lamented in his heart, and his face still paid attention to etiquette.
The half-blocked wooden door creaked open and closed. Some people came in and some people went out. Ingres's seat, he could see the entrance of the restaurant. A young man in a silver-gray plaid lace shirt pushed open the door grating, walked in slowly, and stepped on the unpleasant arrogant drumbeats.
Since boarding the ship, Angel has been keeping a low profile. In the cruel wizard world, there is no brother who spoils him and makes him lawless. Only by not showing off can one live a stable life.
Therefore, in this month, he has not interacted with anyone except Allen and his sister. Even Irene and the others are trying their best to expand their network of contacts, but Angel has never interacted with other people. In his life, he only studies and solves problems.
Even though he is so lonely, Angel still recognizes this man with a noble sissy style, which shows how famous he is on the ship.
The third heir to the Yinlu royal family of the Central Empire of the Revelation Continent, Dev Yinlu.
