Chapter 129
"How did this Siren die?"
Cheng Yu asked Dominic.
"I don't know. The information about Siren is recorded in the chapter "God of Waves and Tides" in the sixth volume of "Chronicles of Ancient Gods". The description of Siren is just a passing mention. She is the ancestor of the mermaids, the messenger of the God of Waves and Tides, the tuner of God, and in charge of the music of the court."
This Siren turned out to be a musician. Cheng Yu thought to himself.
"The Holy See of Light has the largest library in the Black Sun Empire, with so many books, is there no other information?"
"The library has thousands of books, but there is only this one book about the ancient gods."
"Well, forget it if there is none."
Cheng Yu also knew that in this godless age, the information about the ancient gods was pitifully small.
"Anything else?" Dominic asked.
"Nothing else."
Cheng Yu came to the Church of Light just to find out about Siren.
Siren is the ancestor of the mermaids, and his relics may be in the mermaids.
"Come visit the capital when you have time."
After a polite remark, Dominic's shadow disappeared.
Only Cheng Yu and Bishop Fars of Cuisi City were left in the underground secret room.
"You are an acquaintance of the archbishop. If you need any help, you can tell me."
Fars' attitude was more enthusiastic than before.
"Bishop Fars, do you know where the mermaids are?" Cheng Yu asked.
"The mermaids live in the sea. Fishing boats or merchant ships should encounter mermaids during their voyage. You can go to the port to ask." Fars suggested.
"By the way, how do I get to the Adventurer's Guild of Cuisi City?"
Cheng Yu planned to go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a commissioned task, asking adventurers to help find the red sand wood.
"It's not clear in a few words. Come to my office and I'll give you a map of Cuisi City."
"Okay, thank you."
Cheng Yu and Fars came to the office.
Fars gave Cheng Yu a map of Cuisi City with the location of the Adventurer's Guild marked on the map.
Leave the Church of Light.
Meiweier was sitting on the stone steps, staring at the statue of the Holy Lady of Light in the center of the square in front of her.
"Meiweier, let's go."
Cheng Yu walked over and patted Meiweier on the shoulder.
"Human, I have been observing here for a long time and found that the Holy Lady of Light seems to be a bit similar to you in terms of body shape and facial features."
Meiweier didn't know that Cheng Yu was the Holy Lady of Light.
"We all have two shoulders and one head, so it's normal to be similar." Cheng Yu explained.
"Is that so?"
Meiweier tilted her head and looked at the statue of the Holy Lady of Light in the center of the square.
"Don't look at it, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild."
Cheng Yu was afraid that Meiweier would see the clues, and she would laugh at him to death.
The two left the square and followed the map of Cuisi City, passing through several streets and alleys, and came to the door of the Adventurer's Guild.
Magicians, warriors, priests, alchemists, and even ordinary people who are short of money will come to the Adventurer's Guild to register as adventurers, accept and complete commissioned tasks, and get rewards.
Some commissions are to destroy monsters, some are to escort caravans, and some are to find things~
Employers will give different rewards depending on the difficulty of the task.
The Adventurer's Guild is large and noisy, with both employers and adventurers.
Cheng Yu and Mei Weier entered the Adventurer's Guild,
At the front desk, a young lady in a green maid outfit put her hands in front of her and smiled kindly, "Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I want to post a commission." Cheng Yu said.
The front desk lady took out a form, "Please fill in your needs and the commission reward on the commission form."
Cheng Yu sat in front of the counter and picked up a quill to write.
[Find ten red sandwood trees (preferably seed-bearing ones) and send them to the Dark Night City Lord's Mansion. The commission reward is 5 gold coins]
Red sandwood grows on saline-alkali land by the sea. Cuisi City is located by the sea, so it should not be difficult to find, and there is no danger.
Cheng Yu's reward is relatively high, and he hopes to get the red sandwood quickly.
The receptionist took the commission and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sir, your commission reward is so high?"
She was a receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild, and her annual salary was only ten gold coins.
This kind of commission task without danger, the reward is at most 5,000 copper coins.
"I have money, I am willful."
Cheng Yu has accumulated 10,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 100 million RMB on Earth, a rich man.
"Sir, does your family still need servants? I can go to your house to work." The receptionist asked with a smile.
"No."
Cheng Yu left the commission letter and left the Adventurer's Guild.
Now it was almost noon, and Cheng Yu and his partner were strolling around Cuisi City to see if there was anything to buy.
When passing by the meat market, Cheng Yu bought some ribs.We had sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner that night.
Cuisi City is very big, and we walked around like a tourist, from noon to dusk.
Night fell.
Cheng Yu and Mei Weier left the city.
When they arrived at the woods outside the city, Mei Weier turned into a black dragon, flapped her wings, and carried Cheng Yu back to Dark Night City.
Back to the Dark Night City mansion, it was completely dark.
Cheng Yu took out the pork ribs he bought during the day and washed them with water.
"Human, aren't you going to stir-fry spiced beef cubes for me? Why are you washing the ribs?"
Mei Weier couldn't wait to eat the spiced beef cubes.
"I'll make you something else that tastes better than the spiced beef cubes." Cheng Yu smiled mysteriously.
"Impossible, there can't be anything better than the spiced beef cubes in this world." Mei Weier said firmly.
The spiced beef cubes are so delicious, how can there be food that tastes better than the spiced beef cubes?
"You'll know later."
After washing the ribs, Cheng Yu put them in boiling water, blanched them briefly, and picked them up.
Then, pour out the water in the pot and heat oil in the pot.
After the oil is hot, add seasonings such as scallion, ginger, and star anise, and stir-fry until fragrant.
The aroma of scallion, ginger, and star anise is completely stimulated by the hot oil. Take a spoonful of rock sugar and put it in the pot. The rock sugar melts into a yellow syrup in the hot oil and bubbles.
Pour the blanched ribs into the pot, use the fire control magic to control the heat, and stir-fry continuously at medium heat.
During the stir-frying process, add appropriate amount of soy sauce and vinegar.
The water evaporates slowly, and the soup in the pot becomes thicker and thicker. The aroma of meat, star anise, vinegar, and the sweet aroma of syrup are mixed in the air.
When she smelled that smell, Meiweier's eyes were straight and she kept swallowing her saliva.
The soup was boiled dry, but not completely dry. The ribs gradually turned into caramel color, and various flavors were locked into the ribs.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle some white sesame seeds on the surface of the sweet and sour ribs.
"Come, try it. The master made sweet and sour ribs for you."
Cheng Yu put a large plate of sweet and sour ribs in front of Mei Weier.
This thing called sweet and sour ribs tastes delicious just by smelling it.
Mei Weier tasted a piece of sweet and sour ribs. The taste was sour, sweet, salty and fragrant, plus the aroma of sesame, star anise and green onion and ginger. It was simply amazing.
"Is it delicious?"
"Not delicious."
Although she said it was not delicious, her body was very honest. Mei Weier ate big chunks of sweet and sour ribs.
Cheng Yu ignored Mei Weier and continued to stir-fry the spiced beef cubes.
