After a week of mental sinking and meditation, I added a heart-to-heart conversation with Vivian when I woke up.
Dorn did cheer up from the decadence after learning the truth about the world.
Miss Fairy was right, it didn't seem to matter what the nature of this world looked like. The important thing is that in the world of Miracle Land, Don has things that he cherishes, and things he wants to protect.
He has Vivian and friends here. There are also many people in the restaurant, many of whom are emotionally equivalent to his relatives.
As long as they exist in the land of miracles, whether the essence of the land of miracles is real or just a string of complex program codes in the "matrix" server, it is meaningful.
This is Donne's emotional advantage over the already smashed [War]. In this world, there are too many existences that can maintain his "humanity" orientation.
These human orientations are like the anchor point of the great wheel, so that Donn will not completely sink into the chaotic world and lose himself.
In addition, in the subconscious, Dorn does not seem to regard everything in the land of miracles as meaningless code programs.
He values the life of this world.
Therefore, he chose to lock himself in the room after dealing with the aftermath of the dwarves and tauren sacrificed in the "Defense of Eaton Town".
In the previous battle against the invasion of the Tazan army, 12 dwarves of the town guards died, and 4 tauren died.
These demihumans who died in the battle had made a certain sacrifice consciousness before the battle, and entrusted each other's last wishes to their comrades in arms.
So, Don has learned before--
A certain dead dwarf warrior hopes to bring his body back to Kaisadum and sleep with the ancestor's spirit.
A certain dead tauren elite hopes to be buried in Dawn Island, the new birthplace of the Minotaur clan, and continue to witness the tribe’s prosperity; or, hopefully, he can throw his ashes into the storm sea, sink to the bottom of the sea, and sink there. On an undulating ghost island, the soul returns to its homeland.
Before shutting himself into the room, Dorn seriously fulfilled the wishes of the deceased, and compassionate the families of the deceased with real sorrow.
If he really regards everything in Miracle Land as illusory, there is no need to do these things.
In Don's subconscious mind, the lives in the land of miracles are not a bunch of meaningless data. They are independent individuals who have independent thoughts, joys and angers, and are truly alive.
Even if they exist in a form that is not the same as life on earth.
Finally, there are some insights from Dorn's meditation during this period of time, and there are many thoughts in his heart that can make him feel relieved.
"Perhaps, it is not necessary to entangle the nature of this world." This is Don's current thoughts.
The essence of the land of miracles is a string of codes in a large server of the earth civilization.
But so what?
If you open your mind and think about it, who can say with certainty that the universe where the earth civilization is located is not a "string of codes" controlled by another higher-dimensional civilization?
Or, waiting for thousands of years, the Land of Miracles has developed its own unique magic technology, which can create a "matrix" server in this world. Will there be another civilization of lower latitudes born as a result?
At the end of this kind of matryoshka thinking, everything is meaningless.
Only existence is reasonable.
And as an individual who relies on the existence of a miraculous place, the most important thing for Donne is to live in the present and in front of the eyes.
"As for how to live in the present. As a member of the steadfast existence of the world camp, what I have to do now is to work hard to improve my own strength, and to pass the mighty battle that may erupt in the future safely."
After a week of decadence ended, Don's thoughts became extra clear.
...
Autumn.
The effects of the previous wars began to fade slowly after the fall.
In Ling's bar, you can collect gossip from the world. Based on this information, it seems that the war between Wangcheng and Beidi has come to an end.
The ending seems to be that the Northern Land, which is extremely rich in military ethics and troops, won the final victory.
And within the royal capital, very drastic regime changes are taking place at this moment.
However, there is no definite news about whether the Prince of the North will eventually replace his elder brother.
It is said that after the war between the Dona Empire and the Tazan Empire, there will be an explanation.
In addition, the war situation between Dona and Tazan has also begun to become clear.
The first is the battlefield in the central and southern part of the battlefield. The gray rhinoceros part of the three surprise Tazan army, because the Eton Town guards were active, was directly repelled before the official war, and returned without success.
Although the remaining two troops gained a great war advantage in the early stage, they occupied several cities.
But after Donah reacted, the lords of many places quickly united. After paying a certain war price, they finally reluctantly repelled all the remaining Tazan troops.
The central and southern part of Dona settled down.
It is worth mentioning that the lords who are active in the Central South battlefield seem to be supporters of the Prince of the North. In the battle against Tazan, he received a lot of assistance from the North.
The other is the frontal battlefield in the north.
After completing the "Anni" mission, the North Army quickly plunged into the battle of "anti-foreigners". Under the leadership of the old and strong Grand Duke of Phoenix, the soldiers of the North crossed the royal capital arrogantly and entered the battlefield.
The regular army on the Tazan side is being pressed on the border between the two countries.
The two sides are currently playing hard to separate, and the outcome is still difficult to say. But the flames of war on the front line have basically not burned to the rear.
This kind of surprise attack on crossing the sea failed once, and it is estimated that Tazan will not arrange a second time.
If they dare to make a comeback and are close to Eatontown, Dorn, who had no intention of participating in secular warfare, will let them know what "not profanity" means.
Demigods are also gods.
The time now is 3 pm.
The food city has begun to enter the busy time period. After the trauma and shadow of the war, a lot of vitality has been restored here.
The manager, as well as Don's two little brothers and several little apprentices, are all busy in their respective posts and restaurants.
Vivienne couldn't see anyone this afternoon either.
Because of Valrhona from Golden Oak, she came to Eatontown these days.
As a good friend of this young alchemist, Miss Fairy has recently been taking her to appreciate Eaton’s customs, taste the delicious food in the food city, stroll around the market, and see various street art performances.
Dorn is actually quite pleased that Vivienne can have her own independent social activities like this.
Wishing restaurant.
Today, the "blind box restaurant" run by Donne himself is closed as usual.
Eatontown diners have become accustomed to this.
Because the Food City has opened many new stores, including the branch of the high-end barbecue restaurant [Cream Starlight] hosted by Veretta, they have officially settled and opened for business.
There are many more food choices, and diners don’t have too many complaints about the business status of the salted fish in the Wishing Restaurant.
Even many loyal fans stand in front of the restaurant to wash the floor for Dorn’s lazy dog behavior——
"How could it be so easy to eat the dishes made by Mr. Donne, the most powerful chef in the world!"
"That's right! Listen to me, listen to me, I have the "Food City Eaton Town Travel Guide" in the Food Times. So, let's open a room in the high-end hotel on the side, stay for a few days, and cook the hot pot You can enjoy a series of delicacies from restaurants, Cantonese restaurants, barbecue restaurants and other restaurants. You can also go to the bar to taste unique cocktails every night. Then, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet the Wishing Restaurant opening during this period. Then we You have to squeeze your head to grab the dining place that day, as long as you grab it, you will have no regrets in your life!"
"What if you can't get it?"
"Then come again next time."
...
The street is bustling with hustle and bustle, but at the moment, inside the kitchen of the Wishing Restaurant, it is quite quiet.
There was only the sound of wood burning, and the sound of the food gurgling in the pot.
Dorn pinched the time and lifted the lid of the pot.
What is cooking in the pot is a slightly thick, but crystal-like soup.
The soup is dipped in finely chopped shredded fresh bamboo shoots, shredded mushrooms from parasitic mushrooms, and shredded pork ham. In addition, there are pieces of fish up and down.
Dorn leaned close to the pot, shook his nose and sniffed the fresh fragrance of the fish soup.
"Cooked just right."
Pour some poison feather chicken stock that has been prepared a long time ago. After the yellow chicken soup is blended into the fish soup, fly into a poison feather chicken whole egg.
The chicken soup and egg yolk not only add freshness to the fish soup, but also add a bit of warm yellow that looks very delicious to the original white soup.
After that, pour some homemade rice vinegar.
The vinegar and fish meat are cooked to create a wonderful crab aroma.
Wait until the ingredients in the pot are boiled for a while at the end, and the dishes are complete.
Pick up the pot and install the dishes.
Finally, sprinkle some green and red pepper shreds on top of the fish soup.
These shredded peppers are first scraped and then cut. They are very thin, and they are soaked in cold water for a while before being put on the plate, and they are automatically rolled to form a small ribbon effect.
An SSS-level dish made from red fish spirit meat, Song Sao Yu Geng, is complete!
"If I eat this thing, I should be able to be promoted to two-thirds of the gods, right? The rank is a bit higher than the demi-gods."
After making the fish soup, Dorn put it on the table first, and did not rush to eat it, but mumbled for a while.
At the same time, he also opened his own attribute panel and reconfirmed the amount of [Cooking Power].
The 1 million points obtained from [War], plus the 100,000 points accumulated in normal times, make a total of 1.1 million. According to the experience of eating the spirit and flesh of the **** of storm, this share of [cooking power] should be enough to maintain the promotion ceremony.
Dorn shifted his gaze to the share of Song's sister-in-law's fish soup.
The fish soup in the plate, the soup is slightly yellow, very crystal clear and thick, oily in color, vegetable shreds and ham shreds of different colors, and pieces of soft and rotten fish are infiltrated in the soup, making the fish soup look rich And full.
Coupled with the small ribbon-shaped green and red pepper silk embellishment in the center, the visual effect is full!
Regardless of the question of Dengshen's promotion, it was aimed at this plate of perfect food, and it did not live up to its truth.
Dorn reached for a spoon and carefully scooped it up.
Entrance.
The thick fish soup is tender and smooth, with an appetite-stimulating, just right sour taste. And because of the effect of fish and acetic acid, the soup really has a delicious flavor of crab.
Have another bite.
The flesh of red fish is not thorny, and it is not suitable to make a soft fish soup. When you sip it, it will turn into a rich flavor and spread between the mouth and lips and teeth.
The other ingredients, the fresh bamboo shoots are crisp, the parasitic mushrooms are fat and slippery, and the bristle pig ham has a rich flavor and is soaked in fresh soup.
The various flavors are overlapped by the umami flavor of the soup base and a little bit of sourness, forming a wonderful tongue-tip experience with unique flavor, which makes people unable to stop at all!
A whole pot of Song Sao's fish soup was quickly eaten up by Don.
Because this dish is closely related to his godhood promotion, it is necessary to eat alone.
He was also forced.
Other people in the restaurant, as well as the dragon mother who is waiting to be fed in the story world, will use the leftover red fish meat or the meat of a deformed fish to make fish soup for them in a short time.
Like the spirit meat of the Storm God last time, the stamina brought by the consumption of Song Sao's fish soup this time is not small.
About five minutes after licking the last bit of soup on the plate, Don's body reacted.
There was a feeling of fiery restlessness, accompanied by pain that seemed to burn the soul, and began to spread throughout the body.
"coming."
Dorn stood in front of the cutting board, clenched his fists, and began to be patient.
However, after waiting another five minutes, he silently released his fist.
"That's it?"
Dorn found that the pain and mental discomfort of this promotion were much smaller than the last time.
Then I thought about it, maybe it was because the last time I was promoted from a mortal to a being qualified to be called a "god", Juruo Yunni's level difference brought great pain.
And this time, from one-third of the gods to two-thirds of the gods, the person himself can be called a "god" has a strong physiological tolerance.
After waiting for a while, an imaginary crimson appeared in front of Donne's eyes, which was almost the same as the crimson space in the boundless dream.
In this boundless red, there are layers upon layers of unreal dreams and phantoms.
The number of these phantoms is very large, and the marquee flashes quickly in front of Donne.
Dorn has a feeling, as if the dream silhouettes made by all creatures in the world are now presented in front of him.
His thoughts began to be impacted by the massive amount of information carried by these dream silhouettes, and his brain seemed to be swelling.
Every time he catches a glimpse of a dream, Donne feels the same as the protagonist in that dream. He seems to have become a dreamer.
In the last second, he was the year of his unrequited love. In his dreams, he saw a girl who was thinking about it and confided to himself with affection, even if these words would never be said by the other person in reality...
In the next second, he became an old woman on crutches and watching in the dilapidated house. Seeing his eldest son who was already dead, he opened the door with a smile, yelling for dinner...
This is a dream, bizarre and strange. Anyone's thoughts and obsessions will be transformed into illusory illusions in the dream.
And Don, because he experienced the thoughts and thoughts of each dream subject in a short period of time, he was a little lost for a while.
I began to wonder if I was the bystander Donne or one of the thousands of dreamers...
