Chapter 185 Is The Food Poisonous?
Because the nobles don't care about being strong.
Gao Qiang easily followed Jiu Luo to find a deserted corner.
Jiuluo held a tray in his hand. There were several different dishes on the tray, including meat and vegetables.
Gao Qiang frowned.
It has reached the point where Jiuluo needs to remind himself directly, is there something wrong with this dish?
"Is there poison in this dish?" Gao Qiang asked subconsciously, "Zhaka intends to poison us?".
If something could go wrong with the dishes, Gao Qiang's first and most serious thought would be this kind of thing.
Jiuluo chuckled.
"You think too seriously, but this is not the case."
"It's just that the first half of your sentence is not completely wrong."
The first half of the sentence?
Gao Qiang recalled for a few seconds, then suddenly his eyes widened and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is the food poisonous?"
Jiuluo nodded.
"In fact, I don't know whether the chefs who made these dishes were too smart or just plain stupid."
Picking up a piece of meat, Jiuluo put it in his mouth and felt it.
"The sauce of the dish contains a numbing element, but it is very slight, so slight that it is difficult to have an impact on the body."
"Because these elements are so subtle, many professional chefs may not be able to taste them."
"So I had some suspicions before, maybe it was because the chef in the Governor's Mansion was too poor in skills and failed to handle the ingredients well."
"but......"
Jiuluo picked up another piece of pumpkin and ate it.
“When I was trying different dishes, I noticed that every dish contained this slightly numbing element.”
After hearing Jiu Luo's words, Gao Qiang looked at the noisy banquet hall next to him with strange eyes.
If it was true as Jiu Luo said, the other party had poisoned the food, it wouldn't be justified.
So many nobles have eaten the dishes at the banquet. Does Zaka still want to poison all these nobles?
"You don't really have to take it too seriously."
Through Gao Qiang's eyes, Jiuluo realized that Gao Qiang had made the situation serious, and hurriedly explained.
"There is an old saying in the chef world that talking about toxicity regardless of dosage is just a hooliganism."
"In fact, with this level of numbing elements, as long as you don't eat it like salsa, you won't have much of a reaction even if you eat it to full stomach."
"Even in the vast majority of cases nothing abnormal happens, and the worst-case scenario is that you get cramps when you do strenuous exercise."
Listening to Jiuluo's words, Gao Qiang's expression also looked a little strange.
If this is the worst case scenario, Xhaka seems to have no reason to poison himself.
Because the dose of toxin is so small, the effect is only slightly numbing.
Even Jiuluo is not sure whether the chef who made the banquet did it intentionally or not.
"So this dish?"
Gao Qiang looked at Jiuluo hesitantly.
“You can feel free to eat the food here.”
Jiuluo immediately responded: "My main purpose is actually to remind you that it is best not to believe everything that Xiao Xiao shows."
After receiving Jiuluo's assurance about the safety of the dishes, Gao Qiang quickly returned to the dining table.
There were piles of various bones in front of Shasha and Dakai, and they seemed to be competing to see who could eat more, without any sign of eating.
Among the few people who came with Gao Qiang.
At this moment, only Yena was sitting at the dining table, eating seafood elegantly.
While slurping the meat and juice of the lobster, Yena confessed his sins to himself.
"Wow, the breath of life, damn it, why is it so fragrant..."
As an elf who advocates life and nature, Yena once swore that he would not eat people before their natural death.
If it is a life that has been killed, he will definitely not eat it.
During this period of time with the boat, Ye Na slightly relaxed some of her strict requirements on herself.
For example, eating one killed creature a day is actually not too much.
as a natural companion.
If those fish, shrimps and crabs knew that they had contributed to the continuation of an elf's life, they would definitely smile!
Thinking about it, Ye Na shed tears of emotion, and then took another plate of seafood and placed it in front of her.
In fact, because Jiuluo's cooking skills were so good, Yena had already raised the target of eating killed creatures from one to 50 per day.
However, although the quality of the feast held by Zaka today was not good, the quantity was sufficient.
Only eating fifty seafood a day is too harsh on yourself no matter how you think about it.
"It would be better to increase it by fifty."
After breaking through his own bottom line without any psychological pressure, Ye Na stuffed the crab roe in his hand into his mouth with a guilty look on his face.
Gao Qiang, who had been paying attention to Ye Na's tricks for a long time, shook his head.
Sure enough, his expectations for these people were too high.
Except for Jiuluo, there is no one reliable!
Sighing, Gao Qiang casually took a glass of wine on the table.
[You found a strange object: jade glass lamp]
What the hell?
The hand holding the wine glass paused.
Gao Qiang looked at the wine glass in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
Any wine glass you pick up can be labeled as a rare item.
Is it that Governor Zaka is too rich, or...
Gao Qiang thought of another possibility.
Although war games involve real deaths, they are still a game after all.
NPCs like Zhaka might be equivalent to the kind of camp leaders who issue tasks.
From time to time, I would put down some bounties and take some rags from my own hands as rewards.
Just when Gao Qiang was thinking this.
In the reception room, Zhaka and Long Xianyao were fighting each other.
What Long Xianyao didn't expect was that although Zhaka's previous actions were a bit indecent, now that they were alone in a room, he didn't do anything transgressive.
On the contrary, Zhaka seems to be more concerned about some situations at sea.
"I heard recently that the sea is not peaceful." Zaka said with emotion.
“Commercial ships traveling to and from Yushan Island often mention hearing the songs of sirens while sailing.”
"Every time the song ends, some of the sailors disappear."
"I had the intention to issue a reward order and use the assets in the palace to deal with the monster that caused panic, but I never had time to do it."
"The distinguished guests from Fog City happened to come from that sea area, so they shouldn't have encountered any danger, right?"
After hearing what Zaka said, Long Xianyao vaguely remembered it.
When she was on Baixiang Island, this kind of strange singing seemed to have appeared among the sea tribe that besieged her and the military lord.
But the owner of that song is dead.
The sudden stop in singing was also one of the main reasons why the Hai tribe retreated.
"If this is what Governor Zaka is worried about, I think there is no need for it." Long Xianyao said softly.
“I’m sure this kind of singing will never trouble your territorial waters again.”
