Chapter 634 Riko's Bizarre Adventure (Part )
"I don't remember many things, but I still remember the language of my hometown."
The toad-like proprietress poured a secret black sauce into the pot, added pea-shaped seeds similar to mushrooms, and meat chunks, and said without turning her head.
"I haven't seen anyone come to the fifth floor in many years, especially a little girl like you. It's extremely rare."
Liko blushed and corrected him, "I'm not a little girl. I'm fifteen. I'm a young girl."
"fifteen?"
The proprietress had already prepared the dish. She poured the sticky black broth in the pot into two large bowls with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters. She then opened the lid of the pot and scooped out two portions of crystal clear noodles from the steaming steam and put them into the broth.
Zizi!
The moment the noodles came into contact with the broth, they actually began to wriggle, swimming continuously in the black broth, making the soup extremely clear, and the noodles turned black. Looking closely, there were even finer, longer strips of meat inside.
For a moment, Li Ke even doubted whether these were noodles.
"You are from Abyss." The proprietress suddenly realized, "Only Abyss people can still look like children when they are fifteen or sixteen years old."
"Yes, the height of the Abyss people will increase significantly when they are 20 years old, but the average height is between and meters, which is not as high as that of people outside the town of Abyss."
Liko said as she took the chopsticks handed to her by the proprietress, picked up the noodles tentatively, and slurped one.
The noodles are delicate, refreshing and chewy when you put them in your mouth. You can clearly feel the noodles jumping in your mouth!
After biting it off, the soup explodes on the tip of your tongue, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to your taste buds!
"good to eat!"
Riko sighed sincerely, and Mahaha, who was sitting next to her, was also happily slurping the noodles - since he had no fingers, he held up the bowl and slurped the noodles directly with his mouth.
"If the proprietress is not from Abyss, then she must be a soul master from Douluo Continent, right?" Seeing that Haha was eating happily, Liko also smiled from the bottom of her heart, and then asked about the proprietress's origins.
"No."
Perhaps because she hadn't seen a normal person for many years, the proprietress was willing to chat with Riko more. "I remember the continent where my hometown is located is called the Sun and Moon Continent."
"Sun Moon Continent?" Riko was surprised and immediately realized that this lady boss was from another continent like the head of Nami Village. "Is it overseas?"
"Yes."
The proprietress smiled gently, "But I can't remember exactly what it was like. I only know that the Second Prince and I were abandoned by our hometown."
"Can you tell me the details?" This was what Hope, the man-faced snake, did not say in detail, and Riko wanted to know the truth.
After all, the bunny girl sold herself...
In order to restore the bunny girl's freedom, without sacrificing her own organs, she must understand Hope's past and find the [value] that will make him compromise.
It just so happened that the proprietress in front of me seemed to know.
"no problem."
The proprietress agreed directly, “Among the natives of the village, those who came from the Sun and Moon Continent all know about it. It’s not a secret.
It’s just that many of these residents have also lost their memories...
The leader of our expedition team and the village chief, Hope, is the second prince of the Xingri Kingdom on the Sun-Moon Continent. Because he loves adventure, he is not as good as the eldest prince in literature and not as good as the third prince in martial arts, so he is disliked by the king.
The second prince himself was unwilling to deal with state affairs. When he came of age, he recruited a group of adventurous people, no matter they were nobles or commoners, and accepted everyone. When everything was ready, he was ready to lead everyone to explore the sea and find a new world, a peaceful world. But the king thought that the second prince just wanted to escape the war, so he issued a death order: as long as the second prince dared to go to sea, he would no longer be the prince of Xingri Kingdom.
But in the end, the second prince went out to sea without hesitation.
From then on, he was no longer the second prince of the Star Sun Kingdom, but the leader of our expedition team: Hope.
This name was given after arriving in Abyss Town, and it means——
hope.
And Hope has indeed become everyone's hope.
We who followed Hope and left our hometown were also regarded as sinners who abandoned our hometown, but in fact, we just hoped to find a pure land without war.
At the moment of setting out to sea, everyone felt very complicated, but finally, with Hope's encouragement, they headed towards the vast and unknown ocean.
At first, we were all very excited and felt that once we found the real Pure Land, we would become heroes of our hometown...
However, the vastness of the sea can swallow up human will.
The captain originally prepared nearly ten years' worth of food and water, but things happened unexpectedly, and all of them were used up in just three years, so everyone had to go fishing.
But people cannot survive by eating fish alone.
More importantly, there is a lack of fresh water, so we can only get it when it rains, but the rain in the sea is often accompanied by storms...
But in the end, everyone got through it with their faith and Hope's encouragement.
However, the fleet, which originally had nearly thirty ships, was reduced to only two when it arrived at Douluo Continent.
And Douluo Continent——
There are large tracts of land that can be developed, but they are still relatively primitive and wild. We thought we had found a pure land, but there are also many kingdoms here, and the wars have stopped. However, if we want to develop and establish our own territory, we will be rejected by the locals.
The civilians of both Tiandou and Xingluo do not welcome us, a group of outsiders with darker skin.
On the return trip back to Sun Moon Continent... there were only two ships, and after arriving at Douluo Continent, they were severely damaged and could not go out to sea. In the end, Abyss Town took us in. After learning about the situation of the Abyss Ruins, Hope led everyone to continue their journey and explore downwards——
Since we can't go back to the Sun-Moon Continent, and the natives of the Douluo Continent are rather hostile to us, we plan to explore downwards and build our new home in the ruins of the Abyss.
However, the darkness of the abyss has devoured humanity... Everyone lives with guilt, but Hope has been encouraging us. Even though we have become inhumane now, we are still living tenaciously... On this fifth floor, we finally have a home.
However, Captain Hope's spirit of adventure remains.
Before settling in Namichi's brain, he always told us that when all of us have paid our debt to Namichi, we can continue to explore further down!"
Continue downward?
Riko repeated this sentence and sighed, "Captain Hope is very adventurous."
"That's right!"
The lady boss smiled and said, "In the beginning, it was precisely because of his never-flinching spirit of adventure that we were willing to follow him. The other explorers in Abyss Town also gradually joined his expedition team because of Hope's optimism. It's just... well, let's not talk about it anymore."
But Liko knew what the proprietress didn't want to say, so she tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
