As an employee of "Liu Li Dream", the usual place for dining is on the 38th floor upstairs. There are not only lounges and dressing rooms, but also kitchens and restaurants.
There are about 70 maids in the store, and everyone takes turns coming here for lunch, and it is the busiest at noon.
"Dantrian~"
From afar, Belphegor greeted Hesia, and there was a maid beside her whom Hesia was not familiar with.
"This is 'Ffa'." When the girl approached, she introduced the companion next to her.
Furfur: The 34th demon god among the 72 demons of King Solomon. His image is a stag with a flaming tail. He has a hoarse voice and never tells the truth unless forced. He can control the love between men and women, control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and can also give true knowledge to the magician who orders him.
The 'Ffa' in front of me is a maid with fiery red antlers. She should also be a subspecies of orc, which is a rare one.
Seeing Heshia, she nodded slightly and didn't say much. Her personality seemed to be particularly dull. No wonder Heshia was rarely seen in front of her.
"'Furfa' is like this. She talks very little and mainly does some behind-the-scenes work." Belphegor knew the companion next to him very well, and he pulled 'Furfa' and the three of them to sit down together.
"I cut a watermelon in the kitchen today. I bought it from the North Second District. It's delicious~" Although lunch hadn't been served yet, Belphegor had already known about it in advance, and it was hard not to wonder if she had eaten it secretly.
"T5 grade yellow jade watermelon, the taste is very sweet." The slightly hoarse voice of 'Ffa' sounded from the side.
"By the way, I forgot to tell Danterian that 'Ffa' is from the North Second District. Her marksmanship is very good. If you have time, Heshia can learn some self-defense skills from her, and I can also give my precious little I'll lend you the water gun for practice~" Belphegor said cheerfully, shaking the ears on his head.
"So it turns out that senior Belphegor often plays with that little water gun to practice his marksmanship?" Heshia was shocked. There are still people who use water guns to practice their marksmanship.
"Well, how can I put it, the small water gun is pretty easy to use..." Belphegor said to him, she is a rabbit. The sound of the real gun is so loud, it will scare the rabbit.
Not long after the three of them sat down, lunch was ready and brought over from the window sill one by one. Just as they were about to start eating, Hesia's left sleeve moved, and a small white snake appeared.
"There's a snake!" 'Belphegor' jumped up at a dizzying speed and hid behind 'Furfa', with its two rabbit ears standing straight up, in high alert.
After a few seconds, she secretly poked her head out from behind 'Ffa' and looked at the little snake sticking out of Hesia's sleeves.
"Well, it's actually a long story..." Heshia pinched the head of the little snake with her left hand, making it obedient not to move, and began to explain to the two of them.
"So that's it..."
Belphegor calmed down a little, and then slowly sat back down again, but looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was still a little afraid of this little snake.
"Among all the bars, the one I'm most afraid of is the jungle at 'Butis'. There are a lot of spiders, scorpions, snakes and the like in there. They will fall on you before you know it. It's scary just thinking about it." Belphegor talked about his weakness.
"Well, I was scared when I went there for the first time, but I have gradually gotten used to it recently." Hesia picked up a small piece of meat with chopsticks, put it into the little snake's mouth, and let it swallow it slowly.
"Okay, let's stay inside quietly for now, and don't come out to scare people." The girl pressed the little snake into her sleeve again, and then continued her lunch.
"The original sequence 2 tree viper is a very famous ornamental snake." 'Ffa''s voice was still so hoarse and steady.
"Are there such snakes elsewhere?" the girl asked curiously.
"Yes, but there are not many in Jade Skirt. They are cultivated in the 'courtyards' of other star regions. Some people like to keep these little snakes as pets. Extraordinary creatures have higher IQs than ordinary animals, are easier to tame, and are even safer. ." 'Ffa' commented, and then the words stopped abruptly and did not continue.
"'Fofa' used to work for a security agency and went on missions in many places. Later, he retired due to injury and came to our store." Belfinger introduced it this way.
So that's the case, no wonder Belphegor said before that he wanted to learn marksmanship from her, maybe because he was worried about his own safety.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while, and then enjoyed the watermelon after lunch. As a T5 yellow-flesh watermelon, it requires a certain number of natural sequence personnel to maintain during the production process, which is more troublesome than the fully automated T6 standard sweet watermelon. Quite a few, but the benefit is that it tastes better and the price and profit will be much higher.
The three of them slowly chatted about the watermelons that are a specialty of the North Second District. At this time, Heshia remembered the large ruins she saw when the train passed through the North Second District when she went for the reexamination, including abandoned factories and rusted steel. Jungle and architecture.
"That's because the North Second District was once the capital of Jade Skirt." 'Ffa' said this, but soon fell silent. She was born in the North Second District, so she naturally understands its history.
"Before the 'Emerald Skirt' was corroded by poisonous rain, the north had a larger land area and most of the population was concentrated in the northern districts. Among them, the second north district was located in the plains and had developed transportation, so it became the center."
"Four hundred years ago, in the North Second District, there were a large number of buildings on the surface and nearly 100 million people living there. At that time, it was also called the 'Northern Star District'." 'Ffa' said slowly.
"Later, due to the erosion of poisonous rain, a large number of buildings on the ground were corroded and damaged, and large areas of grain-producing fields and botanical gardens were also destroyed. Therefore, the residents living in the 'North Star District' were scattered and moved around, and were later taken over in large numbers by areas built in the mountains and valleys. , this is now the 'Northern District'."
"Even so, the population of 'Northern District 1' today is only 50 million, which has declined significantly."
"So are there still people living in the 'North Second District' today?" Hexia thought that since watermelons can be produced, some industries should still be retained.
"There are people living there, but the population is the smallest among the northern districts, probably less than 8 million." 'Ffa' shook his head.
"Instead of developing a city on a land full of ruins and devastation, it is better to build a new city in an unobstructed environment."
"The economic and population center of Jade Skirt gradually moved south, and gradually the southern districts overtook the northern districts. The current capital has also been moved to the southern district."
"There are only three larger cities in the 'North Second District' now. They are quite special. They are not buried deep under the ground like Payin City, but on the shallower surface."
"It's like people who originally lived in surface cities were forced to develop underground. Surface and underground buildings are not completely separated."
"Walking in the underground square, you can clearly see the pouring rainwater flowing down from the dome, like a small waterfall flowing into the drainage outlet below, while the streets and pedestrians continue to do business, visit temple fairs, burn incense and worship gods, etc. of."
"Sounds like they are all very retro activities?" Belphegor was curious.
"Well, you can find various churches and gangs there, a mixed bag of good and bad..." 'Ffa' shook his head, as if there was nothing he could do about it.
"To be able to persist in such an environment and not leave must be due to some kind of paranoia. The original mainstream of the crowd dispersed, just like the ebb of the sea, and the remaining rocks all had their own stubbornness and obsessions."
