My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 536: Chapter 396: A Powerful Being Might Really Be Very Bored

"It must be an illusion..." Flemea was a bit hesitant because she knew very well how powerful the entity she worshipped was, so she subconsciously dismissed the idea.

However, the stone in her hand exuded an extremely familiar aura, and these alchemical materials that seemed to have been purchased by Lawrence made Flemea very puzzled. After all, these items weren’t too strange for her.

"Um... Reinhardt, take a look at this stone." Flemea was uncertain, feeling as if her spirit was somewhat erratic—was it due to that drink with a bit of alcohol she had just consumed? free𝑤ebnovel.com

"What’s wrong?" Reinhardt looked at Flemea with puzzlement. In his view, anything passed over by Chen Ze was bound to be without issue; of this, Reinhardt had no doubt.

But after taking the stone from Flemea, Reinhardt also froze. The aura on this stone was all too familiar—it was exactly like what he had sensed that day in the main city of the Church of Light, in the dreadful Heretic Tribunal.

A maddening aura, yet intertwined with sacred whispers, although these auras were very faint, to the point that ordinary people couldn’t detect them at all. At least Reinhardt himself only discovered them after careful sensing.

"Right?" Seeing her stunned companion, Flemea knew her inner thoughts weren’t wrong. It seemed these items must have been made by the deity she believed in—only that particular entity could create such superb items.

Flemea was thinking a lot at the moment. She knew her mother had been saved from that place of punishment for sinners thanks to Chen Ze, who had asked a particular entity for help. She also knew the food here was delicious and she herself was a regular customer, yet she had never considered that this entity and Chen Ze might have a good relationship.

After all, if the relationship wasn’t good, that entity probably wouldn’t help Chen Ze out, making something that looked quite time-consuming.

"It should be, at least it’s identical to the aura I’ve sensed." Reinhardt nodded, sure that he hadn’t sensed incorrectly.

"Manager." Flemea turned her head to look at the bewildered Chen Ze.

"What’s up?" Chen Ze was a bit confused. What had happened? Why were Flemea and Reinhardt studying a broken stone for so long?

"May I ask, how was this Hearthstone created?" Flemea felt it was necessary to get some clarity.

"Oh, I asked Naya... a customer to make it." Chen Ze spoke smoothly but stopped quickly, as knowing the name Nyarlathotep might not be a good thing for Flemea and Reinhardt.

"Okay, thank you, Manager. This is our payment for the meal." Flemea and Reinhardt shared a glance, and then Flemea took out a crystal from her pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is a crystal sealed with extraordinary magic; it’s very practical. Just squeeze it hard, and it will release a Transcendent Earth Magic—Earthquake Spell." Flemea, looking at the puzzled Chen Ze, explained, though she was actually reluctant to part with the crystal.

Extraordinary magic wasn’t a big deal for Flemea, but the problem was that sealing Transcendent magic into such a small crystal wasn’t very easy and could even be said to be as dangerous as casting a Transcendent spell on oneself.

Who would do such a thing? Even Flemea wouldn’t want to taste the consequences of facing extraordinary magic head on, so this crystal, if taken to an auction, would definitely fetch a sky-high price – it’s a divine artifact that could protect a family for generations.

"Oh, got it... Thank you, and welcome to come again. Next time, tell me how these things are selling," Chen Ze said with a smile, taking it as casually as if it were a piece of fruit.

"Yes, we will come again," Flemea nodded. She felt it necessary to show these stones to Lawrence, for many alchemy materials were purchased by him; so if Lawrence confirmed that these stones could be used in those alchemy materials...

Then it could only mean that the Nyarlathotep the manager had just mentioned was none other than the eternal god of chaos worshiped by Flemea, Reinhardt, and Lawrence.

Having seen off Flemea and Reinhardt, the restaurant once again embraced a brief moment of tranquility. Chen Ze let out a sigh of relief. Cooking back-to-back was indeed tiring, and he had just eaten and didn’t feel like doing much, preferring instead to rest a bit.

"I should be able to sleep in, right? But then again, Monster Hunter Rise will be released next year, and I’ll have to grind till I’m bald," Chen Ze yawned and glanced at his ring, remembering the huge dragon he still had stored inside.

Unsure of what dragon meat tasted like, Chen Ze thought he might slice off a piece of dragon meat later to grill and try it, then boil a few slices to see what the taste of dragon meat was really like.

"Forget it, why rest? I still remember what my high school teacher used to say, ’Why sleep long in life when you’ll sleep forever in death?’" Chen Ze chuckled self-deprecatingly and stretched lazily before standing up.

He controlled the magic ring, revealing a small part of the giant Red Dragon’s tail, then picked up the kitchen knife and swiftly sliced off a few pieces of dragon tail meat, placing them on the table, and also collected a small bowl of dragon blood.

"Tsk tsk, dragon blood... According to some settings, bathing in dragon blood could supposedly enhance one’s physical strength, right?" Chen Ze recalled from some novels he had read.

"That doesn’t work... In fact, dragon blood is not much use, looking at this, it’s the Calamity’s Gennor, isn’t it? After Red Dragons die, their blood becomes extremely hot, filled with a lot of fire elements, and bathing in it would burn someone to death," Chen Ze turned around to see Lafra standing at the kitchen doorway, holding a pillow. freēwebnovel.com

"Lafra, you only slept for such a short while. Want to sleep a bit more?" Chen Ze said with a smile, ruffling Lafra’s hair, then got a peck from her.

"I smelled the dragon and got a bit worried... No, a bit hungry, so I came down to check!" Chen Ze laughed heartily at Lafra’s quick change of words.

Lafra was still so tsundere, clearly worried but insisting she was hungry.

But how could a boyfriend with high emotional intelligence say that outright?

"Alright, alright, I’d love it if my dear could help me taste test the flavor of the dragon meat~"
