Kenny, having excitedly looked through all the dishes, glanced at the prices listed below and fell silent.
"Two hundred copper coins can only buy me tofu pudding or ice cream. Master Masi said the tofu pudding is delicious, so it must be really delicious. But if I eat ice cream, then I'll get to eat ice cream before Master Masi does, and next time they're talking, I'll be able to join in the conversation, right?" Kenny was torn between tofu pudding and ice cream, unsure which to choose.
"Young man, daring to try new things is what young people should do." the little old man sitting next to him said with a chuckle, then ordered a serving of Sweet Tofu Pudding.
"I'd like an ice cream, chocolate flavor." Kenny said, closing the menu and looking at Yabemia. Chocolate was something he'd never heard of before, a more peculiar flavor than the other three.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Yabemia glanced at Kenny, smiled, and nodded. She didn't ask any further questions, because she saw a reflection of her younger self in this young man. The question of why he only ordered an ice cream wasn't worth asking.
"Thank you." Kenny said, somewhat flattered. His eyes gradually brightened as he watched Yabemia smiling and taking orders from the guests, and as he watched the guests ordering with such composure.
He suddenly realized what he should do after learning to cut hair and becoming a hairdresser, he should stay in Chaos City, stay at Lace Hair Salon, become Lace's best hairdresser, and then save money to own his own hair salon in Chaos City.
"One day I will sit here and order whatever I want from the menu, just like them, without having to make difficult choices because I only have two hundred copper coins in my pocket." Kenny clenched his fist and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Ha Ga, you've come to Chaos City too? Is your hand alright?" Mo Bai, who had also come for breakfast, walked over and sat down opposite Ha Ga and Ha Beng, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, last night... just arrived. My hand is fine, just a little bit broken. It should be better in a while." Ha Ga replied with a smile, extending his unharmed hand to Mo Bai, quite gratefully saying, "Thank you... thank you so much, Boss Mo Bai. The victory in this war was largely thanks to your timely weapon support."
"Don't be so polite. I thought you'd directly inherit the chieftain's position this time, but I didn't expect you to come to Chaos City so soon." Mo Bai said with a smile, shaking Ha Ga's hand.
"That's what my father thinks too, but he doesn't want to. I wouldn't want to either. If I were chieftain, I wouldn't be so free. I wouldn't be able to come to Chaos City and eat Boss Mai's delicious food so easily anymore." Ha Beng said with a laugh.
Ha Ga chuckled along.
The three chatted for a while, then Ha Ga looked around and asked curiously, "Kang Di • Nicholas? How is he?"
"You mean that guy riding the donkey? I haven't seen him in ages. Last time he said he was going to a remote town in the north to find a giant dragon, and he's been gone for about half a month. I haven't seen him at the restaurant since. With that guy's strength, it's okay if he doesn't encounter a giant dragon, but if he does, he probably won't be coming back." Ha Beng shook his head and said.
"Kang Di's strength might be greater than we thought. I've seen many knights, generally, the stronger they are, the less they talk. Those who talk too much usually die quickly. Someone like him often lives longer." Mo Bai said with a smile.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter~"
Just then, the sound of donkey hooves rang out. A black donkey carrying a silver-gray figure slowly approached, pausing briefly outside the restaurant window. The person on the donkey dismounted, led the donkey, and tied it to a nearby tree.
"Hey, we were just talking about him, and here he is! Looks like he didn't encounter a giant dragon this time." Ha Beng said with a smile, watching Kang Di walk towards the restaurant.
With a soft tinkling sound, Kang Di pushed open the door and entered, his smile still on his face. He looked at the almost full restaurant with a hint of surprise, then his gaze fell on the only empty seat remaining at Ha Beng's table, and he strode over.
"Hey, did our dragon-slaying hero on donkey encounter any giant dragons this time?" Ha Beng asked Kang Di with a smile, greeting him like an old friend.
The guests nearby looked at Kang Di with curiosity upon hearing this. Dragon Slayer was a very special title on the Nolan Continent. The last person to take this title to its extreme was Mai Ge • Alex, a man who stood at the top of the Nolan Continent, who rose to power bathed in dragon blood and was unmatched by any knight.
Giant dragons vary in strength, so there have been quite a few knights who have been able to slay dragons over the years, and many knights consider it an honor to be able to kill a wicked giant dragon.
Of course, in the three years since Mai Ge • Alex's death, no knight on the Nolan Continent has slain a level ten giant dragon.
"Lo...long time no see." Ha Ga looked up at Kang Di and nodded with a smile.
"Long time no see. Let me show you something." Kang Di didn't immediately answer Ha Beng's question, but instead rummaged in his pocket, quickly pulling out a small black cloth bag. He tilted it on the table, revealing a pale golden dragon scale that shimmered softly in the light.
"This is…" Ha Beng leaned over and stared at it for a moment, then exclaimed, "A level ten giant winged dragon scale?! Donkey Rider, you didn't actually kill a level ten giant winged dragon, did you?"
"Really?" Ha Ga asked, looking astonished.
Upon hearing this, the customers in the restaurant all turned to look in this direction, and many even stood up, craning their necks to see what was going on.
Dragon slayers are rare figures, and level 10 giant dragons are even rarer. A dragon slayer who has slain a level 10 giant dragon is the first knight to do so since Mai Ge • Alex, which is enough to make him famous throughout the Nolan Continent.
"Did Kang Di really slay the giant dragon?" Mai Ge looked out with equal curiosity. He was also quite curious about Kang Di's strength, but had never seen him fight before. However, it was clear that he was serious about slaying the dragon, although he had to consider whether riding a donkey could really catch up with a giant dragon.
"Slay a dragon?" Yabemia looked at Kang Di with a subconscious sense of fear. Was this always smiling man really this terrifying?
"This is indeed a scale from a level ten giant winged dragon." Under everyone's gaze, Kang Di maintained his calm smile.
"It really is a level ten giant dragon!"
A gasp rippled through the restaurant, the guests all looking shocked. They had been wondering if Ha Beng had made a mistake, but now Kang Di himself had admitted it.
Could this man truly become the first knight to slay a level ten giant dragon after Mai Ge • Alex?
The guests looked at Kang Di with astonishment, as if witnessing another legend rising.
