The Arcane God - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: The Forbidden City [II]
Because during this month’s competition, not only over 40,000 to 50,000 people came to the Forbidden City, but also many family groups, fan groups, cheerleading teams, etc. that came along, and there were many other groups specially designed to watch Ordinary people who came to the city to join in the fun.

These people were the real merchants of wealth, and these people couldn’t enter the hall of spiritual masters. Tickets could only be used to enter the various arenas while watching the game.

Therefore, although the Forbidden City was large enough, it tended to be saturated for a while. Everywhere was overcrowded, especially the storefronts closer to the Hall of Spiritualists. Those who opened the store even cleaned out the firewood house, which still could not meet the needs of accommodation.

At noon, in a bustling street in the Forbidden City, Oberon and Calder led Oscar, Lester, Moraine, Yara, Zachar and Maya, walking freely. The various shops on both sides of the street attracted everyone’s attention from time to time.

At this time, there were still three days before the opening time of the Continental Spirit Master Academy Competition. In order to get used to the competition environment in advance, and to relax everyone who had been in retreat for a year, Oberon and Calder decided to come to the Forbidden City a few days earlier.

Actually, there was another reason. Even Oscar didn’t dare to let elder Calder flew them over. Thinking of the painful experience a year ago, everyone still felt nauseated.

Therefore, after coming out of Immortal Cave this time, everyone just ran all the way, moving directly towards the Forbidden City. But this was fine, Oberon thought that this could consolidate everyone’s physical fitness.

Because Immortal Cave was not too far from the Forbidden City, and ordinary people could get there in just over a month, so, under the fast movements of everyone, it took only a week to arrive.

In the past year, Oscar and the other six students have obviously changed a lot. Apart from the fact that they have grown a little taller, the one who had changed the most is Zachar. Compared to the fat pig with big head and big ears a year ago. At this time, Zachar was obviously thinner than a circle, as if all the fat on his body had been stretched.

Seeing that Zachar’s original emerald-like face was now a little more heroic, and his face became a little more angular. But the skin was still white and fine, probably because it’s been too long without seeing the sun in Immortal Cave. This could be confirmed from the complexion of everyone including Oberon and Calder.

Especially Oscar and the other six students, all of them have thin skin and tender body, and they didn’t feel like the wind and the sun had touched them at all. The appearance of the three little girls was better. Their white skins and thin bodies were very good-looking, but the three little boys Oscar, Lester and Zachar, who were also so white and thin, seemed to be a little sick and weak.

At this moment, Zachar asked as he walked: “Master, where is the delicious restaurant you talked about? Why haven’t we arrived there after walking for so long? I’m so hungry that my heart is now on my back.”

Yara immediately replied: “Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! You just want to eat a lot after a few days of losing weight, don’t you?”

Zachar said unconvincingly, “It’s my own business to be fat or not. Why do you care so much? Anyway, you are used to the nickname Zacharoo. I don’t care if I’m fat or not! Eating food is the truth.”

“Hey! Saying you’re fat makes me gasp! Zacharoo, I’m going to take care of your pig head today, and I’ll punish you not to eat meat at noon!” Yara pouted and said with her slender waist crossed.

Zachar stuck out his tongue at Yara and said, “Little thin mom, you are so good at managing things, who would dare to ask for your hand in the future?”

“What?!” A ball of flame suddenly appeared in front of Yara, exaggeratedly burning hot in the air. Yara said with a black line on her face: “Damn Zachar, who are you talking about?”

The sudden burst of flames immediately attracted a lot of talk from passersby. But Zachar trotted all the way and hid in the crowd. Maya came over, hugged Yara’s arm, and said, “Yara, ignore him, there will be time to deal with him in the future!”

Yara put away the fireball, gestured at Zachar who was in the crowd with his middle finger, and snarled: “Humph! You run fast, be careful not to let me catch you.”

After turning two alleys, Oberon led them to go further and further, far away from the downtown area. They saw residential houses on both sides of the alley, some high and some short, and the road at the foot was only enough for three people to walk together. Due to the high walls on both sides, the alley was dark and there were not many pedestrians.

Maya hugged Yara’s arm and whispered, “Yara, where is the teacher taking us to eat? Why did we come to such a spooky place when we can go to so many big restaurants?”

Oberon was very familiar with the place, so Maya wondered if the teacher would find a place to abduct and sell them.

Yara said with certainty: “Since master said that there’s a good place here, he must not be wrong. Let’s just follow him.”

Because Zachar was warned by Yara just now, he stayed far away and followed behind everyone. Although he was also full of doubts, because he was far away from everyone, he couldn’t talk. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to ask.

After a while, Oberon slow down, pointed to a house in the alley and said, “Here, it’s there, I haven’t been here for so long, I’m really afraid that this place will be closed, but it seems that we have another good luck today. Time to enjoy!”

Everyone looked in the direction indicated by Oberon, and saw that there was a relatively open place in front of the alley.

Maybe because it was the center of the whole hutong, there was a small square here, which could be half the size of a battle arena. An ancient locust plant grew on one side of the square, almost covering the entire square.

Next to the open place was the residential house that Oberon pointed to, which was just an ordinary building with a low wall with a height of two meters and a gatehouse with a gray tile spire. Above the gatehouse was a triangular guise with the words “Wine house” written on it. Telling passersby, this was a pub, not an ordinary house.

There was also a small plaque hanging in the middle of the gatehouse, with the two words “Monster Heaven” written upright on it. It could be seen from the jerky pen in the characters that this plaque should have been written by the shop owner himself.

After seeing the plaque, everyone didn’t know why, so they drew question marks in their hearts. Apart from the guise at the door, it didn’t look like an inn. Especially the strange store name, how could it be called Monster Heaven? Could it be that this was a place where monsters gather together?

Oberon walked in front of everyone, pointed out the direction to everyone, raised his legs and trod through the gate. Due to the open door, they could clearly see that the courtyard was very spacious, several deep yards into the house.

A gust of breeze blew, and the smell of roasted meat suddenly wafted in the air. Zachar smelled the fragrance, and half ran in.

Angrily, Yara shouted from behind Zachar, “Damn you, Zachar, stop for me.”

Zachar didn’t care about her calls, ran in, dodged directly to Buwenle’s side, and said to Oberon. “Master, it’s incredible that you can find such a hidden place like this, I really admire you. I know the food here by smelling it. It must be delicious!”

While speaking, everyone entered the courtyard one after another. They saw five large earthen stoves in a row in the middle of the yard. At this time, more than a dozen people were busy around the earthen stove. A big pot was steaming hot, and the smell of meat was constantly wafting out.

All of them couldn’t stop themselves from drooling.

At this time, a shop assistant came over and shouted to everyone from a distance: “Come in, our honored guests. Please, there are seats inside!”

They followed the man through the two-story building until they reached the second storey. The man checked all the available sections on the floor, chose a spacious room, pushed the door open, and let everyone in.
