Chapter 1712: You Mutton Kebab
Babla opened her eyes based on the trust she had for her idol.
Then.
She cried again.
“I can’t do this.” Babla covered her face and sobbed. She felt as though the countless red eyes on those waving tentacles were staring right into her soul.
The real devil was way more horrifying compared to the mural.
That unknown body was huge, with countless tentacles, and there were numerous blood-red eyes on each tentacle. It was as horrifying as it could get.
“Young lady, don’t be scared. There are so many of us here. Yes, we won’t be able to defeat it with our combined strength.” Krassu looked at Babla with a smile, and said, “However, there’s still a seal. This fellow won’t be able to get out.”
“Silly. I’m trying to strengthen your mental capacity. This fellow here could control a person’s mind and spirit. You are the weakest here, and would easily become its target.” Irina went up and held Babla’s hand. She wiped the tears at the corner of Babla’s eyes, and said in a gentle tone, “If you can’t overcome the fear of looking at it, I’ll have to bring you out of here.”
Babla slowly let go of her hand and looked at Irina, who was looking back at her lovingly. She blushed as she realized that she had been scared to tears twice in a row! In front of Irina!
No! I can’t let her look down on me! Babla mustered up her courage again, clenched her teeth tightly, and looked in the direction of the seal.
“Chi chi…”
That horrifying octopus monster let out a low growl. Its tentacles kept slapping the seal, causing the golden walls to tremble as though they would shatter any moment.
Babla stared at the octopus monster for a while, and felt her fear slowly disappear.
It was not because she was brave, but because Irina was speaking softly to her by her ear. “Do you see those eyes? If we pick them out and use them as pig’s eyes, don’t you think we’d save on the pigs?”
With that, those scary-looking, gleaming red eyes suddenly became just like the pig’s eyes on the skewers, and they no longer looked that frightening.
“Then we’d better not let Boss find out about it.” Babla nodded as she glanced at the octopus monster pitifully.
“This lass is rather bold.” Urien looked at Babla in shock. He thought that she would be so frightened she wouldn’t even open her eyes.
“However, can she really understand the spell formation?” Novan looked at Babla in shock. This young lady looked around 14 to 15 years old, but her talent in spatial magic was extraordinary. At a young age, she was already a 7th-tier spatial magic caster.
“Yes. But I only saw a corner of the spell formation, so I can’t guarantee that I will be able to understand the entire spell formation. I won’t even dare to say that I can repair it,” Babla replied to Novan. She knew that he was a 10th-tier magic caster in Chaos School, so she used a very respectful tone.
Novan’s eyes lit up. Nodding, he said, “It’s alright. I’ll walk with you so that you can take a good look at this spell formation. If there’s any part you can’t understand, tell me and we can study it carefully again.”
“Alright.” Babla nodded. She followed Novan, and they started walking around the spell formation to study it.
“Where’s this lass from? Why can she understand such an ancient spell formation?” Krassu mumbled.
“From the moon.” Irina looked up calmly.
“Hm?” Krassu and Urien were both stunned.
“There are really living things up there?” Krassu replied in shock.
“It’d never been recorded in history,” Urien said with a frown.
“She said she came from the Moon Nation, and is the princess of the Moon Nation. She came here accidentally after repairing an ancient spell formation.” Irina shrugged slightly. To be honest, she did not really believe that Babla came from the moon as well. She had gone through several ancient elven texts, and it was never recorded in those books that humans existed on the moon.
“It’s not recorded, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. This fellow’s existence proved that, didn’t it?” Krassu said as he pointed at the octopus monster.
“All records about the ancient devil had been completely erased, and even the ancient scriptures and spell formation were not passed down. However, the Moon Nation had such records. Could the Moon Nation have broken contact with the Norland Continent during the same era?” Irina speculated.
“That’s a possibility.” Urien nodded slightly. He said in a hoarse voice, “If that’s the case, perhaps they have a way to kill these devils or put them back under the seal.”

The mutton soup which was launched in the morning was well received by the customers.
This was not beyond Mag’s expectations. After all, even he could not find fault with the mutton soup. Would there be a stricter customer in this world than him?
That was not possible.
Otherwise, he would not be chosen to be the main character by the system.
Of course, he was not proud at all.
He looked at the mutton kebabs in his hands as he flipped them around above the fire. If he could redo things, he definitely would not be so strict with those selling mutton kebab!
No one knew how much he had suffered last night just to make the perfect kebab that was slightly charred outside and tender on the inside!
According to the promise, Mag launched the mutton kebab in the afternoon.
The selling price was: one for 100 copper coins!
Although this price was not cheap, as usual, the mutton was made from the black goat of the snowy highlands. It was a rare treasure that even the shepherds of the Blue Grassland would rarely find. One could only taste the freshly grilled mutton kebab here.
“Three sets of Yangzhou fried rice, five of roujiamo, six of braised chicken and rice, 10 beef kebabs, and another 10 mutton kebabs…” Miya walked into the kitchen, and quickly recited the new orders.
“Alright. Serve these 100 mutton kebabs first!” Mag swung the mutton kebabs in his hand towards the long plates that were laid neatly in a row, splitting the kebabs into sets of 20 neatly on the plates. After that, he sprinkled some spring onions on the mutton kebabs, and the plates were quickly taken away by Jane and Elizabeth.
“I had mutton soup in the morning, and now I’ll have mutton kebab in the afternoon. How delightful.” Abraham looked at the mutton kebab that was brought out from the kitchen, and he rubbed his hands excitedly.
“Oh, right, when is Miss Vansa coming to Chaos City again? If she’s not here, hot pot won’t be as fun anymore,” Randy, who was sitting in front of Abraham, said.
“She probably wouldn’t be coming for the next half a year.” Abraham shook his head, and lamented, “What a pity. She doesn’t even have the chance to try such delicious mutton soup and mutton kebab. Why don’t I write her a letter to tell her?”
“She wouldn’t be able to resist,” Randy replied with a smile.
“Forget it. I don’t even have to write her a letter. She will look through all the gourmet magazines. You, gourmets, would definitely write better than me.” Abraham dismissed the thought immediately.
“Your mutton kebab.” Elizabeth served the long plate with 10 mutton kebabs over, and placed it between the two of them. After that, she went to the next table.
“Wow! This smell!”
Randy and Abraham leaned forward, and exclaimed almost at the same time.
