The customers in line looked at the little boy with envy. They had been queuing here for so long, but they didn't expect that the first one to eat the octopus balls was this little boy.
"Boss, isn't this good? Didn't you say you have to queue up to buy?" an orc behind said impatiently.
"That's right, we are all lining up. You set the rules yourself, why do you just give them to others casually?" Several people immediately echoed.
"How about forget it, we'll come to eat next time." Not wanting to embarrass Mag, Dix took his son's hand and prepared to leave.
Mag stopped him, then raised his hand and looked at the guests with a smile: "The break is at two o'clock sharp, and there are still six minutes of my private time. I will make octopus balls for my friend's children. Two We open on time. I am a punctual person and I hope you are too."
Everyone looked at the valuable watch. It was indeed not two o'clock yet, and the complaints gradually subsided.
"Wait a moment, kid." Mag smiled at Dix's son Udyr, scooped up a small spoonful of batter and poured it into the preheated pellet baking pan.
Dix is a regular customer of Maimi's restaurant, and indeed an old friend of Mag. He basically handles the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion. Udyr and Amy are about the same age, and the time is just right, so Mag is naturally willing to give it to him. Make a separate serving.
In less than three minutes, Mag placed a large portion of octopus balls into a wooden box, poured on the sauce, sprinkled with bonito flowers and shredded seaweed, and handed them to Udyr, who was already salivating. "Be careful with the scalding," he said. Eat later."
"Thank you, uncle." Udyr took the pellet in both hands and thanked him politely.
"Thank you, Boss Mai." Dix took out a silver coin and handed it over.
"No, it's for the kids." Mag didn't answer and shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, next time I invite the little boss to my house to play. The little guy doesn't have anything else, but there are many toys. I think the little boss will also like it." Dix put away the money and took Udyr and Mag. Don't leave.
Mag cleaned up the baking pan, scooped up a big spoonful of paste, and started his performance.
The baking sheet for the octopus balls was never empty in the morning, so there was no chance that they would not be sold after they were made, and the same would be true in the afternoon.
The guests who had been waiting for a long time finally appreciated the magical skill of sprinkling balls into balls. Holding a slender bamboo stick in his hand, Mag transformed into a swordsman with exquisite swordsmanship. The small balls seemed to be in the air. Dancing on the tip of the sword.
At two o'clock sharp, the stall opened on time, and the first batch of octopus balls was also completed. Hop on and off, which made the queue that had been frozen for a long time flow again.
…
In a solemn award ceremony, the king personally awarded the trophy. This honor is enviable.
"Thank you." Amy held the trophy awarded to her by Andre with both hands. The golden trophy reflected her lovely smile and her sparkling eyes.
"Little Amy, your talent is very good. If you like the Los Empire, you can join the Empire at any time." Andre looked at Amy and smiled kindly.
"I have to think about this and ask my father before I can do it." Amy blinked and did not agree directly.
The participating magicians in the audience looked at Amy with envy and jealousy. Holding this trophy in their hands was equivalent to getting an upper-level pass to the Los Empire.
Moreover, His Majesty the King personally recruited them, what an honor this is.
But even if she didn't win the championship, with her talent and status as Master Crassus' apprentice, she was already at the top.
Jasper standing aside had a complicated expression. He should have been the one standing in the center.
But today, he was defeated by a four-year-old little magician who jumped over the ranks, shattering all his pride, and he could only become a supporting role.
Andre smiled, not paying attention to Amy's shirk, and turned to Jasper.
Jasper immediately stood up straight and looked at His Majesty the King walking towards him. His heart began to beat faster. Could it be that His Majesty the King also wanted to award him an award? But according to convention, the second place will not enjoy this honor. Why...
"Jasper, right? You are an excellent magician, young and promising, never give up easily, with excellent talent and creativity. You can be said to be a model for the younger generation of magicians. I am very optimistic about you and hope you can become The pillar of the country." Andre came to Jasper, handed him the silver trophy, and said with admiration.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation." Jasper immediately bowed and took the trophy, his voice trembling with excitement, but his hand holding the trophy was extraordinarily steady.
His Majesty personally presented the trophy. What an honor it was, not to mention that he was the second best.
And His Majesty's words made his originally depressed and lonely heart burn with fire again.
"this?"
"His Majesty actually gave Senior Brother Jasper the award in person. It seems that although he lost to Amy, His Majesty still thinks highly of him."
"After all, the little girl is a foreigner. It is impossible for her to be loyal to the empire, so His Majesty chose Jasper."
The disciples of the Mage Tower and the participating magicians couldn't hide their surprise, and at the same time they somewhat guessed Andre's thoughts.
"This should be worth a lot of money, right? Is it real gold? I heard the second uncle next door said that if you bite it and leave a mark on it, then it is real gold." Amy didn't care about what was happening around her. Staring at the trophy in his hand, he thought seriously for a while, then opened his mouth and said, 'Ah woo~' and took a bite on the trophy.
He opened his mouth and looked at the two rows of shallow tooth marks left on the golden trophy. His eyes lit up, "It's real gold!"
This scene was captured by many people. Although they didn't know what she was doing, they were still attracted by her cute look.
The award ceremony for the mage group was over. Amy returned to Crassus with the trophy in hand and whispered, "Master, this is made of real gold."
"Huh?" Crassus glanced at the golden trophy tightly held in Amy's arms, "Have you begun to cut corners on the trophy now?"
"Look, I just took a bite secretly and left a mark?" Amy turned the trophy in the direction, and the two rows of shallow tooth marks were clearly visible.
Crassus stretched out his finger and flicked the trophy, and the melodious echo echoed in the cup for a while before gradually disappearing.
"Child, your teeth are so good that you can even chew the Dragon Song Stone." Crassus had a strange expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The awards ceremony for the youth group followed. Kassadin received the trophy from Richard amidst a burst of boos and left the stage with a red face.
"Three years on the east side of the river, three years on the west side of the river, don't bully young people into poverty! I, Kassadin, will definitely come back in three years!" Kassadin stepped down from the stage, clenched his fists, and said solemnly.
What he lost today, he must get back twice as much next time!
"Master, is the championship trophy of every magician conference made of gold? Then can I come next time?"
At this moment, a little girl passed by him holding a golden trophy.
Plop.
Kassadin knelt.
