Chapter 85 - The Fourth Section (1/2)

”Paradise of Bliss” was Marcel's most beloved place. It was also the most luxurious restaurant in Mossy Vulture, with the rarest and most interesting dishes.

By the time Marcel arrived, everything had been ready. They were greeted by an exquisitely dressed waiter, who led them to the second floor.

While going up to the second floor Evan was looking closely at the first floor. In addition to the harmonious decor, expensive furniture, marble floor and carved columns of quartz, Evan saw what kind of people attended this place.

To his surprise, the people did not look pompous or pretentious. A man in a tuxedo could sit at one table and dine with a man in plain clothes. The visitors were all different, dressed in mantles, cloaks, and even armor.

Evan quickly understood why these people looked the way they did.

<Well, is this place so elite that only magicians can afford to come here?> Evan only saw a few merchants, though he wasn't entirely sure of that.

<It's a strange feeling... in the other establishments of Marcel everyone looked so arrogant, but here it's like a completely different world.>

Evan was partly right. The magicians weren't interested in showing off their wealth or influence. Everyone understood that. They came here to enjoy the best food in all of Mossy Vulture, that's all.

When they reached the second floor, Evan was surprised by the opulence of the place once again. What caught Evan's attention was the large glass dome instead of the ceiling above the entire second floor.

On the second floor, there was no one there but them. Marcel, as the owner of this place, could easily set aside a whole floor for eating. He did not usually do this, but today was a special occasion.

They sat down at a rectangular table made of blue crystal, and apart from being incredibly beautiful, it slowly shimmered in different colors from the sunlight like a diamond.

Marcel ordered, the waiter smiled pleasantly and left. At that moment, Evan noticed something strange.

<Hmm, it's really hot outside, but it's so cool in here.> Evan didn't understand how that was possible, but then he saw the glistening blue stones in the floor and walls.

The cool was going from them and it wasn't hard to guess that they were the reason it was such a comfortable temperature.

After a while, they were served dishes. They were varied, differing both in size and appearance.

There was meat from unusual and rare animals, the freshest seafood, unique fruits and vegetables, and it was all prepared by one of the best cooks in the whole kingdom.

Evan was very hungry, so he quickly pounced on the meat. Marcel proceeded to his favorite seafood, Zak and Fien were eating everything.

In addition to the incredible food, there was also a lot of drinks and cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Evan had never seen most of it, so he tried as many as he could.

While eating, they were chatting about various topics, most of which involved the Academy of Magic and the ”Pond of Mountain Crystals”.

Hardly anyone said anything about the tournament that had taken place. They had already seen everything with their own eyes.

When it came to the ”Pond of Mountain Crystals”, Marcel calmly said: ”Evan, you are very lucky to have this opportunity. Before you go to the Academy, it's the best place to be. Too bad, Fien was only in the first section.”
