Mo Bai clenched his fist, looking up at the giant dragon with rage rising in his eyes. However, he quickly realized it wasn't a real dragon, and his gaze shifted downwards, landing on Yulian, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had run his blacksmith shop here for decades, naturally knowing that Yulian had moved here over ten years ago. He had also bought many intermediate-level recovery potions from Yulian over the years; although they hadn't interacted much, they were still somewhat acquainted.
Before this, he thought Yulian was at most a level five mage, because his intermediate-level potions were only moderately effective, just cheaper than elsewhere.
But now it seemed he had completely underestimated Yulian's strength. To be able to summon a giant frost dragon of this caliber, one must be at least a level nine mage. He has no chance of winning against this giant frost dragon.
"It seems I need to hurry up and develop the Thunder Bomb, otherwise I won't even be able to defeat a magic dragon, let alone that damned red dragon!" Mo Bai clenched his fists tightly, turned his gaze towards the restaurant, glanced at Mai Ge who was holding Amy, and wondered why Yulian and Crassus were so angry so early in the morning, fighting at the restaurant entrance.
Not far away, Sargeras, who was leading two demons with black lava patterns on their bodies toward the restaurant, suddenly stopped and looked toward the restaurant with some surprise and uncertainty.
"Boss, what's wrong?" the tall, thin demon on the left asked Sargeras.
"I told you all, when we get to that restaurant, you have to behave and do exactly what I say, remember?" Sargeras asked, his gaze still fixed ahead.
"Boss, didn't you say it's a restaurant run by humans? What's there to be afraid of? Humans will avoid us. Once we're in a human restaurant, we can do whatever we want." The short, chubby demon next to him said with a silly grin, not taking Sargeras' words to heart at all.
"You little brat!" Sargeras smacked the demon on the head and laughed angrily, "Look at what that thing is! You little brat, the boss's little daughter could burn you to ashes with a single fireball."
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The demon clutched its forehead and jumped two steps to the side. Following the direction Sargeras was pointing, its eyes widened instantly. It darted behind Sargeras and said with some fear, "Boss, isn't that the legendary giant dragon? How come there's a giant dragon here?"
"Yes, boss, is there some kind of giant dragon backing up this restaurant?" The tall, thin demon leaned closer to Sargeras, asking with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity.
"This isn't a real giant dragon, but even if there isn't one, there's a powerful mage backing up this restaurant. So, you all better behave yourselves, or I won't be able to save you." Sargeras looked warily at Crassus, who stood in the distance holding his mage's staff, and earnestly warned them.
Ever since he witnessed Crassus smash a dragon with a mage's staff outside Luo Du, Sargeras's awe of Crassus had become deeply ingrained. He had never met Mai Ge • Alex and had only heard rumors about dragon slaying, but he had seen Crassus's power with his own eyes.
"Is that the white-bearded mage?" The two demons looked at Crassus, then at the giant dragon in mid-air. "I think that old man will be eaten alive by that giant dragon, won't he?"
"That's not necessarily true." Sargeras said, a smirk playing on his lips.
...
"Look over there! It's snowing! And there's a white giant dragon in it!"
"Really! Is a giant dragon trying to cause trouble in Chaos City? Isn't that the restaurant over there that's been doing really well lately?"
"Yes, that's the one with only two dishes on the menu, and the cheapest one costs 300 copper coins. I don't know why those idiots are always rushing to give the owner their money, lining up so early in the morning."
"Exactly, I wish that giant dragon would smash up that restaurant. Business at my restaurant has been so bad lately, a lot of regular customers haven't come. I saw them lining up outside that restaurant yesterday."
"Quick, quick, let's go see what's going on! A giant dragon! This is the first time I've ever seen a real giant dragon!"
Many people in Aden Square noticed the commotion in the corner and started discussing it. Several restaurant owners spoke with a hint of sourness, while passersby curiously approached the restaurants. Even in the Chaos City, dragons were not a common sight, as many giant dragons would transform into human form upon entering the city.
...
"There's a situation over there! Two mages above level eight are fighting, a level five incident! Report to the temple immediately. You two come with me, evacuate the crowd first, and try to avoid and minimize casualties!" At the same time, at the other end of Aden Square, a middle-aged man in gray clothing looked in the direction of the Restaurant Mai Mi, his expression changed, and he said to a young man in the same gray clothing next to him, before rushing towards the restaurant.
"Okay!" the young man replied, turning and running a few steps. Seeing a young master dressed in flamboyant clothes riding up on horseback. He yanked him off the horse, threw a wooden plaque into the young man's arms, and then mounted the horse. "The Gray Temple is handling a case and has temporarily requisitioned your horse. Come to the Gray Temple with this plaque to retrieve it later."
"Since when did the Gray Temple start taking horses when handling cases?" The young master stared blankly at the wooden plaque in his hand. He had originally bought a new horse and wanted to show it off, but now he could only curse his bad luck and walk back towards the Gray Temple.
...
"The restaurant's new dish hasn't officially gone on sale yet. These two happened to come by, so we let them try it. Unexpectedly, they started arguing about the taste after eating it." At the restaurant entrance, Mai Ge smiled and explained to the curious customers. At this time, it was natural to give the tofu pudding a boost in advertising.
"They actually fought over the taste of a new dish!" The expressions on everyone's faces immediately turned strange.
"It seems these two flavors must be very unique and distinctive, and extremely delicious." Pu Luo Er seemed thoughtful, looking at Mai Ge expectantly, and asked, "Boss Mai, will there be a new dish today?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Mai Ge. The delicious food that could make two great mages fight had completely whetted everyone's appetite.
