Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

The setting sun was like blood, illuminating the entire Gusuo City in red.

It snowed yesterday in this small town at the northernmost tip of the Kingdom of Roga. In the militia camp, the children of farmers who had bid farewell to the busy farming season were conducting their last training before the Winter Wind Moon.

Young men and women gathered in groups of three or five, handling swords with marks all over them, long and short bows with old strings, and artillery weapons that were severely rusted.

Young Anlifu leisurely practiced with his friend using a wooden training sword, exhaling silver-white mist.

To them, it was just a lively party.

This land has been away from war for nearly a century. Peace is the main theme. The hereditary lords are kind and the taxes are not too heavy. Whether life is tight or loose, everyone lives day by day.

Therefore, young people, including An Lifu, rarely think about the significance of the endless militia training every year.

He thought more about the cider he brewed in the fall than about anything imaginary.

Although the weather was not very good this year, the several apple trees planted by my grandparents still produced enough fruit.

The brewed yellow-brown fruit wine was sweet and sour and tempting, and Anlifu wanted to invite the girl he admired to have a drink.

He is not the kind of proactive man. Compared with sisters and brothers who are passionate about love, young people seem too shy, but this does not mean that he does not yearn for a beautiful relationship.

Even a timid flying squirrel will carefully stick its head out to feel the sunshine.

Just like the shining golden hair and clear eyes of that brilliant and beautiful girl.

"Boom!" Suddenly a short bell sound interrupted Anlife's beautiful reverie. The roar that followed shook his heart, bringing a sense of anxiety and panic in his confusion.

The bell tolled after a century, echoing over the small town with panic.

"The alarm bell! The alarm bell is ringing!" The young man saw his friend's frightened look.

A strange atmosphere descended, the blood-red sky extended like a tide, swallowing up the gentle orange, making the earth dark, and everyone's face seemed to be soaked in thick blood.

The sound seemed to come from the sky, and Anlifu's vision turned red.

Suddenly, a pitch-black sphere in the direction of the city wall caught his attention. In the blood-red color, people stared blankly at a flickering and expanding ball of light that formed between three mysterious people floating in the air in the distance.

Bang! The black and red laser burst out suddenly, sweeping across half of Gusuo City.

The streets and houses collapsed with a roar, and the venting light columns continued to explode, tearing the entire city apart.

Rocks collapsed, the air caught fire, and more mysterious people in strange costumes poured in from the cracks in the city wall.

With a tall figure and a giant sword on his shoulder, he destroyed the knight squad with one blow.

As his eyes swept across, he saw a tall and thin ghost figure that had sucked the soul out of a living person.

There were even more terrifying humanoid figures with all kinds of magical powers wrapped around their bodies, wantonly wielding fire and poison. Their strange robes all had a cold eye printed on them.

Blackland Empire, special forces.

The iron hooves that followed stepped on the burning corpses of Gusuo City, looted all available supplies, and continued to move towards a city.

The flames of war devoured everything unexpectedly, burning faces, city buildings, apple trees, and good wishes.

War...always has been like this.

......

"Gurgle gurgle..." The winter water is boiling in the pot.

Frost flowers swirled up from the steam, condensed into snow on the roof, and fell down one by one in the clear sunlight.

Fan Wei spread his five fingers over the pot, quietly feeling the temperature of the water. When the ingredients reached a stable critical point, he took out the next ingredient without haste.

The large 'heart' of the Air Dragon Whale, which was rising and falling, was held up by a colander and slowly immersed in the boiling frozen water.

With a slight shake of the wrist, the majestic heart almost exploded, but eventually it condensed into jade-like ice cream bit by bit from the violently swirling illusory white mist.

The cooking atmosphere was very peaceful and Fan Wei was completely immersed in and enjoying the process.

His high level of understanding and practice have made his skills naturally attached to him like a fingerprint.

Now when he looks at the ingredients, he no longer has as many thoughts as he did in the past, and he no longer even pays attention to the special colors given by "medicine and food have the same origin".

Ingredients are ingredients, and cooking is cooking.

What was incorporated into it was just his thoughts.

"Ding ding, Jam Dragon Whale Ice Cream, super high-end monster food, come and eat it quickly."

Serve the freshly made cold dessert on a plate, with the silky fruit paste seeping into every frost crystal, and the round ice cream balls dotted with freshly pickled fruits and a leaf of green citrus grass.

Fan Wei put the food that he had carefully researched and prepared in front of everyone.

Compared to the immersive preparation process, the moment when the food is happily enjoyed is more joyful!

"It really worked. I thought the restaurant would be blown up."

Verolinka, holding his wand for protection, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the heart of the air dragon whale that was made into ice cream. The speed at which this guy's skills improved was really astonishing.

"Even for high-level potion masters like us, this level of dangerous monster materials is quite tricky!"

"I didn't expect you to solve it so easily."

"Haha, it's so-so, so-so, just average~" Fan Wei was very proud, but received a light roll of the eyes.

"Forget it, I'll try it first." The department head took over the tasting job. Different from ordinary food, special cuisine is a whole new field created by Misl Fan.

The magical effects it contains, although certainly harmless, may have different effects on different people.

This is when the evaluation of an experienced potion master comes in handy.

Using a wooden spoon, he scooped up a small piece of ice cream. The light milky white color looked delicate and tempting with the jam. He slowly put it into his mouth. The moment his lips closed, Vilolinka's eyes went blank and he was stunned for a moment.

"How is it?" Fan Wei asked expectantly.

"The cold wind blows in my face..." It is no longer possible to describe the taste simply by saying whether it tastes good or not. The department head flutters her lips and lowers her head to chant, "I see a glacier on the barren land..."

"Fading memories are dotted with stars, the gray-blue dawn is soaked in pure white coldness."

"The taste reminds me of a poem by Sukanis. Huh... it brings back memories of home."

After finishing the ice cream in one go, Vilolinka let out a long sigh and stretched lazily, "Any more? Give me ten more!!"

"Don't just eat and not do anything."

Irene was speechless at this shameless girl. Fan had worked hard for most of the day, but she was enjoying it as if it were her right!

"Tell everyone about the effect."

"Hmph." The department head's eyes turned and she deliberately kept it a secret. "The mechanism of action is very complicated. Can you explain it in more detail..."

"The affinity of air and magic element increases! Agility increases! The spirit becomes more solid! There are many effects, but the most important one is the increase in the upper limit of magic power!"

"I only ate one portion and it increased my total magic power by almost one tenth! With ten more portions, even if the effect will decrease, I can expand my magic power to nearly double!"

The magic power of a great magician is obviously not low, and doubling the magic power is definitely a qualitative leap. Even Irene was stunned when she heard about such a huge benefit!

"Uh, sorry, I can only have one serving."

Fan Wei smiled and poured cold water on him, "Due to the quantity of ingredients, I only prepared one portion for each person."

"Then I can collect the materials myself and ask you to do it."

Faced with the exciting benefits, Vilolinka, who has always been careless in doing things, couldn't help himself. Others also had expectations in their eyes. Nothing is more tempting than improving one's own strength in a simple and clear way!

“It’s not all because of the ingredients.”

Fan Wei said something surprising, his expression serious, "There is also a factor against 'overeating'."

"Honestly, I can make a whole bunch of special foods right now that will greatly increase a person's abilities."

"But do you think this will eventually create a strong person?"

“Whether it’s humans or other creatures, eating is for growth and survival. Without exercise and learning, excess nutrition cannot feed a healthy and strong person!”

This is a question that Fan Wei had been thinking about a long time ago. After all, he himself is the "fat man" who was inflated by the system.

By copying skills from diners, he became a strong man who looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside.

When facing ordinary enemies, you can of course rely on strength to crush them, but when you encounter truly powerful enemies, when you face gods and demons.

At that moment, Fan Wei felt his own ignorance...

His understanding of the laws and the nature of power was too shallow! Even with a magical artifact like a pocket watch, it only caused minor injuries to the demon.

You have to know that he is not powerless. He actually possesses high-end powers such as black flame and holy light, but he is simply unable to bring them into full play.

If he has enough understanding, enough knowledge.

In those five seconds when time stopped, even with the current strength, I should be able to kill the demon! It will change many, many things!

Save a lot of sacrifices...

Fan Wei felt a little melancholy. Learning lessons only after the pain occurred was probably the lingering tragedy of mankind.

"...Ha, I really underestimated you." Verolinka sighed again, "Calm down and think about it. In the past, most magicians who relied on potions to forcibly improve themselves did have limited achievements."

“Even if your magic food has no side effects, but it creates dependence, it is likely to deplete our own spiritual potential.”

"If you want to reach the pinnacle of magic, taking shortcuts is not a good idea!"

"You actually admit your mistakes." Irene folded her hands and tilted her head, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"But if there's an opportunity to improve yourself, you certainly can't let it go! As long as it's reasonable and in moderation, everyone can just enjoy the food!"

"Great!"

Berents, Shirilo, Julie and others who were invited to be the guests cheered with different expressions. Although the ingredients were precious and the quantity was small, Fan Wei still took the trouble to prepare a portion for each of his main friends.

Everyone couldn't wait to taste the delicious and precious ice cream, but among them, there was one that did not move.

"Yunxin, don't be sad. We should always look forward and let the past go."

Taking off her apron and sitting at the dining table, Fan Wei advised the oriental girl who had a gloomy face and no longer had her usual good appetite.

His safe return dispelled the gloom of everyone in the restaurant, except Yunxin who seemed to still be trapped in the haze.

This girl, who was always full of energy and chattering, was now silent and lowered her head. Behind her, several women with oriental faces also stood quietly with their heads lowered, making Fan Wei feel inexplicably familiar.

"Boss, I, I feel so ashamed of you..."

"You were so good to me, but I ran away alone!"

Looking at the ice cream that Fan Wei pushed in front of her, Yun Xin finally broke the silence. She turned her face away and spoke in a muffled voice. The shame in her heart almost made her unable to raise her eyes to look straight ahead.

I'm afraid that her name as the heroine Yunxin will be disgraced here today!

"Ah?" Fan Wei was stunned. "What happened?"

"No, we were the ones who took the young lady away by force! All the mistakes are ours." The guards behind Yunxin stepped forward together, half-knelt with their hands folded, and apologized.

Deserting a battle is not a glorious act, and everyone wants to take the blame on themselves.
