The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 548 Super Feast
Moran listened to Rose introduce the dishes on the menu. Each dish was unique, and just hearing the descriptions made one want to try them.

I wanted to order everything, so I was a little hesitant.

At this moment, Rose said, "I'm so happy to have met my senior today. I'll treat you to Mermaid's Tears tonight. You absolutely can't miss it."

Dora wasn't going to be outdone: "If you're treating us to drinks, I'll treat everyone to dessert! Waiter, how about a large 'escape' ice cream?"

"Then I'll take care of the main course, a large shipwreck treasure platter will do." After Lina finished speaking, afraid that Moran would refuse, she shouted into the seawater next to the Starlight Giant Clam: "Grancius, don't be depressed, four cups of Mermaid Tears, four servings of Escape Ice Cream, and a large shipwreck treasure platter."

Gransius rose from the sea.

“Wait. The Escape Ice Cream and the Shipwreck Treasure Platter, medium size, will be fine.” Moran said, “Besides these, I also want four cups each of Siren’s Lullaby, Bubble Coral, Moonlight Tide, and Pirate’s Regret, one medium size each of Starfish Caramel, Mermaid Dressing Mirror Cake, Forgotten Shell Cake, and Crystal Beach Smoothie. For the main course, one medium size each of Seaweed Fairy Spiral Pasta, Tide Sound Conch Soup, Coral Reef Fish and Chips, and Captain’s Lucky Dinner.”

Rose, Dora, and Lina watched as she closed the fish-skin booklet and recited the menu, their expressions growing increasingly blank: "Isn't that a bit too much?"

The three of them are still in the stage of saving money and have not yet achieved financial freedom, so they never order too much food.

But Moran didn't have to worry about so much: "I want to try everything! I'm so curious."

When she gets busy, she's too lazy to go out for meals, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to come back next time, so she might as well try it more often now.

However, she understood the situation of Rose and the other two. When she was still a young witch, Shana's mother was older than they are now, and she was still so poor, let alone Rose and the others.

The younger the witch, the poorer she is, since she has to start from scratch.

Only the alchemist and potion-making witch are slightly better, but clearly Rose, Dora, and Lina are not.

This mermaid restaurant is a high-end magical restaurant; a single dish and drink costs at least thirty gold coins. What she ordered would require four or five magical gold coins.

"And I also want to take a picture of the feast and send it to Vasita and the others, so I can only ask everyone to help me eat more so as not to waste it. Don't worry about saving me money, you know I have plenty of gold coins!"

Which witch doesn't know about the Dawn Society?

Not to mention {regular gold coin cards}, even {magic gold coin cards} are available.

All the witches benefited from this, as they were able to accumulate magical power, gem coins, and exchange them for gold coins.

Rose and her companions paid for their expenses after leaving the wilderness, as well as the initial rent for the shop on the seaside promenade, using magic power to exchange for {ordinary gold coin cards}.

Moran, the founder of the Dawn Society and the master of card magic, was certainly not short of money.

Hearing her say that, Rose and the others were no longer worried.

They had limited abilities, and that was enough for them to do their best. The senior student's generous offer to treat them to a big meal was also a token of her goodwill.

At worst, I'll secretly use a {food supplement card} today to increase my appetite and eat more. I'm determined not to let my senior waste a single penny of her money.

After a while, Grancius controlled the seawater and built a water bridge.

One end of the water bridge connects to the Starlight Giant Shell serving station where Aquinas is located, and the other end connects to the table in front of them.

The flowing water bridge brought dishes of food to their table.

It was packed full, with not a single gap.

At the same time, part of the meal fee that Moran paid was refunded.

“Ms. Aquinas said that since it was Ms. Moran’s first visit, she was very sorry she couldn’t accompany her, and all meals would be half price,” Grancius said. Moran and the others looked towards the bar.

Aquinas raised her glass to them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she holds a wand in one hand and has time to raise a glass to drink in the other, and that she prepares food and drinks herself using kitchen utensils and barware. In reality, she can't leave the bar for a moment.

That's her "mobile kitchen." Once she leaves, the kitchen utensils and wine glasses that are working so diligently will all go on strike.

Moran and the others also raised their glasses to the Mermaid's Tears, which had been served first, and toasted her.

Mermaid's Tears is a pale blue wine, resembling the seawater she saw today, but clearer and more transparent, with a luminous pearl resting at the bottom of the glass.

It has a slightly salty taste upon first sip, lingering on the lips and teeth for a moment before revealing a subtle sweetness and aroma of wine.

After taking a sip, Moran listened intently to the laughter of the mermaid waiters in the sea. She could understand them, but she was certain it wasn't the alcohol.

She had already studied mermaid language, but this was the first time she had heard a mermaid speak. She had to translate it in her mind before she could understand its meaning.

"Does it taste a little strange?" Rose asked her.

Moran nodded: "This is the first time I've ever drunk a salty drink."

"Hahaha! The first time I drank it, it felt like I was drinking seawater. Later I found out that the first sip of this wine is the worst, but it gets better and better as you drink it. The best part is when you eat the glowing pearl candy and listen to the mermaid's song at the end."

Rose said.

“I’m different. I love the salty taste when it first enters my mouth.” Dora took a small spoon and scooped up the glowing pearl candy from her glass. “So I usually eat the candy first and then slowly drink the wine.”

"I think it tastes best if you let it sit for three minutes before drinking it," Lina said.

The three of them each had their own way of drinking Mermaid Tears.

Moran roughly understood that the reason why the Mermaid's Tears could make people understand mermaid language for a short time was entirely due to the glowing pearl candy at the bottom of the cup.

The liquor itself is slightly salty, but the candy is sweet; the taste of the liquor will change over time.

Moran didn't like salty drinks either, but she was very curious about the glowing pearl candy. Just like Dora, she scooped up the glowing pearl candy to examine it.

It's impossible to tell what it's made of.

She stirred it with a small spoon to speed up the dissolution, and then drank it. Sure enough, the saltiness was gone, replaced by a slightly sweet taste, which was very refreshing.

The sweetness was just right for her, so she took Lina's advice and ate the glowing pearl candy directly, ensuring that the rest of the drinks were at a sweetness level that suited her taste.

After eating the glowing pearl candy, Moran's demeanor changed when she heard the mermaid waitress's voice again.

She could understand what they were saying without having to recall the meaning of each pronunciation or word.

Just like when she was born, she discovered that she had no language barrier and was born with the ability to understand witch language and witch script.

"Will drinking this allow me to read mermaid script?" Moran asked curiously.

“No,” Lina said. “I’ve tried it. After drinking it, the mermaid’s handwriting is still as messy as seaweed.”
