Chapter 685 Dinner Party
Chapter 685 Dinner Party
You were also chosen by the five star palaces at the same time? ! ! !
Looking at the five palace patterns on Leon's arm that were exactly the same as his own... no! Obviously bigger and brighter than his own, and even attacking each other, the female cleaner's mouth opened wider and wider, and she stuttered:
"You...you?"
"My talent in the mystic arts is also pretty good, and I was lucky enough to be recognized by the five star palaces."
After a brief show of pretense, Leon said with a smile:
"Although I have been given the opportunity to learn the Five Palaces Secret Arts, as you have seen from Director Sagittarius, my situation is a little special. I have not learned the Secret Arts of Sagittarius and Taurus very well, so I am not as good as you in this aspect."
Ah...it seems like that!
After listening to Leon's self-deprecation and recalling Director Sagittarius's evaluation of him, the female cleaner's little pride, which had suffered a severe blow, suddenly swelled up a little bit.
When I came here, the director said that I was the most talented cleaner he knew, and there was no one else who could compare to me... Well... Mr. Leon is also very good, but maybe... maybe... maybe I am more talented?
After taking a peek at Leon with some distrust, the little female cleaner clenched her fists, encouraged herself, and then straightened her back and responded:
"No, no, you are already very good!
Besides, the selection is not over yet. Even if Sagittarius, Pisces, and Taurus are not suitable for you, there are still Cancer and Aquarius. With the talent you have shown, you will definitely be recognized."
"..."
This child... seems to have a kind heart?
Seeing the female cleaner who tried to comfort him after being treated like a fool, Leon couldn't help but blink, then gave her a gentle smile.
"Then I'll borrow your good wishes, and I hope you..."
"You finally came!"
"?!!!"
Just when Leon was preparing to take the opportunity to improve the relationship and get some information out of them, a huge hand suddenly reached down from the air and grabbed the two fish tightly in one hand, like catching loaches in a pond.
"Don't worry, it's me."
After greeting the vigilant Leon, the kind-looking Cancer Director reached out and fished Leon and the other man out of the pool, throwing them to the prepared table and chairs nearby, then smiled and said,
"Hurry up and sit down, you two are the only ones missing for this dinner!"
Huh? What do you mean we are the only two missing?
After being pressed down on a wooden chair, the frightened female cleaner was about to ask questions, but she couldn't help but shudder and looked at the Cancer director not far away in horror.
It was simple. After catching Leon and the other man along with the black and white fish, the Cancer director, who was wearing a white chef's hat, swung the two big fish and knocked them unconscious, then threw them on the wooden chopping board in front of him.
Under the shocked gaze of the female cleaner, the Cancer director with empty eyes adjusted his apron to cover his greasy belly, then lightly touched the knife holder at hand with his little finger, and a cleaver with a cold glow fell into his hand.
Then, Director Cancer’s expression froze, and he made two light cuts with the cleaver in his hand. He gently wiped the fish’s belly, and the two big fish that had carried them over automatically and consciously opened their “hearts”.
And it was not enough for them to just pour out their hearts and lungs. They even went a step further and threw away the most "bony" part of their bodies, then broke themselves apart along the knife marks on the texture and distributed them evenly on the chopping board.
"How's my knife skills?" After casually putting the scalpel back on the knife holder, Director Cancer smiled and said to Leon and the other man who were stunned by his move:
“Before I joined the Cleaning Bureau, I was already a very good cook, the kind that could barely be called a master. And in the more than 100 years since I joined the Cleaning Bureau, in addition to doing the work of a cleaner, my cooking skills have not fallen behind.
Since Master Chels of the Kingdom of Alesund died of old age thirty years ago, my cooking skills should be the best among all the living people in the world. You are in for a treat today."
The world's number one cooking master?... It matches Cancer's [Abnormal Devouring] quite well.
After listening to what Director Cancer said, looking at the two plates of sashimi he pushed in front of him, Leon couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork with anticipation.
"Wow!"
Just as the fork in Leon's hand pierced a piece of sashimi that was cut as thin as a cicada's wing and the texture was still trembling slightly, the sound of the metal knife cutting the texture suddenly rang out from all over his body, along the bones and flesh, and directly into his ears.
Immediately afterwards, Leon's hands holding the knife and fork suddenly "bloomed" like a flower of flesh and blood.
First, the skin on the back of the hand was quickly peeled off along the lower edges of the ten fingernails, then the muscle bundles and nerves spread out to the left and right along the invisible cuts, revealing the white joints underneath, and finally it even began to quickly extend to other parts of the body.
It was as if the scene of cutting the fish just now was replayed. When Leon picked up the fish meat and put it into his mouth, all the parts of his body closest to the bones had already been cut with extremely fine cuts.
The originally intact skin and flesh quickly spread out along the marks, and the whole person literally became extremely "exposed", with a hideous and terrifying face, but Leon seemed to be unaware of it and continued to fork the fish meat into his mouth...
"No! Don't eat it!"
Although she knew that this was probably part of the selection, the little female cleaner couldn't help but scream when she saw Leon's increasingly "skinny" figure. She reached out and grabbed his arm, and dissuaded him with a pale face:
"Wait a minute! Look at the others first!"
See others?
Leon was interrupted by the little female cleaner. He was startled for a moment. After looking around, he couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"What happened to the others? Aren't they all very happy?"
No...how can you tell they are happy?
Surprised by Leon’s answer, the cleaning lady couldn’t help but muster up her courage and pointed at the borscht on the other side of the table, saying with a look of horror:
"That man is cut in two and swimming in borscht! Can't you see? And the salt-baked snails and the lamb and potato stew, the twisting meat shell... and those white bone potatoes, they... they... you are the vegetables yourself!"
……
Huh? She was not affected by the [Diet] at all?
After hearing the short female cleaner's shout, the Cancer director who was scrubbing the chopping board couldn't help but glance at her curiously.
Even Leon, whom he had high hopes for before, failed to see through the abnormality of the [Feast of the Body] and ate the dishes made with his own existence without any precautions. However, the little girl sent by Barto was not confused at all and discovered something was wrong at the first time.
This is interesting.
After opening his empty eye sockets and staring at Leon who was eating fish despite Mary's obstruction, Director Cancer couldn't help but shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.
What a pity... Although this child has good talents, he is not as good as the girl sent by Balto. It is estimated that he will not be able to become the next Cancer director.
