"Well then, I’m off."
Burton stood on the teleportation station in Furnace Castle, waved to Kane and the others, and then disappeared in a flash of blue light.
After Kane and the others decided to go to the City of Gastronomy, Burton spent the next day preparing to return to the tavern in Crystal Town.
He ca back specifically for the beer festival and ended up staying a few more months watching them. Now it’s ti to return to the town and open the tavern.
Additionally, his mother Danfoss has been incredibly busy due to the developnt of Furnace Castle.
Originally, they planned to leave today with Burton, but the City of Gastronomy, as the na suggests, is a world-renowned tourist destination. This ans routes to the City of Gastronomy are often fully booked and require reservations.
Kane and the others had no choice but to wait another day.
...
Early the next day, they packed up their luggage and threw it into the space equipnt.
Standing empty-handed at the door.
Danfoss, having a rare half-day of rest today, was just ready to see Kane and the others off.
"Alright, Mom, just see us off to the door. Go back and rest; it’s rare to have half a day off, shouldn’t you cherish it?"
"Alright, you brat, off you go."
Watching them banter, Kane and the others smiled and stepped forward to speak.
"Auntie Danfoss, thank you for hosting us here these days. We’ve been very happy during our stay."
Upon hearing Kane’s words, Danfoss covered her mouth with a laugh and patted Longbei’s shoulder, saying: "You’re saying that, but as my son’s teammates, you’re like nieces and nephews to , practically family. No need for such politeness, rember to visit with Longbei next ti."
"Okay, Auntie, we’re off now. You should go back and rest too."
With a wave and farewell to Danfoss, Kane and the others arrived at the guard post outside Furnace Castle.
After a few transfers through the guard post, they reached a transmission hub, where it was their first ti visiting such a large transmission hub.
This is where several teleportation routes converge.
An area responsible for transitioning different teleportation routes.
Upon arrival, Kane and the others felt a strong presence of magic power in the air.
A massive teleportation crystal stone hovered in the sky, shading the entire area.
Like a mountain floating in the air, it presented an exceptionally dramatic visual impact.
Surrounding Kane and the others were various categorized teleportation stations.
Brilliant blue light flickered everywhere, as explorers from various races continued to arrive.
A giant ship floated in the sky.
The ship glead in a bright silver color, adorned with dense magic patterns, lacking a sail design, and shaped like a cone.
It erged from a teleportation gate opened by the large crystal stone in the sky.
After circling half, a massive teleportation gate appeared on the other side of the large crystal stone, and the ship vanished upon entering.
"What’s that?" Kane asked, as it was his first ti seeing such a vessel.
Hearing Kane’s question, Kreya explained: "That is a teleportation ship, rarely used for transporting people; it’s usually for transporting large-scale goods this way. Long-distance transport can minimize the consumption of energy and cost, but only valuable items use such a vessel for transport."
Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane nodded.
It’s similar to air transport, but the teleportation gate version.
Guided by directions, they arrived at another teleportation station to rest; this teleportation station is connected to their next destination—the City of Gastronomy.
The traffic here is heavier than other places, and the seats around are already filled with all kinds of races, with quite a few explorers and tourists standing and waiting.
From what they understand, the only tourist attraction on this route is the City of Gastronomy, indicating that most people here share the sa destination as Kane and the others.
Of course, having the sa destination doesn’t an the sa goals, since most are here for tourism.
Such high traffic is typical every day, and from their language and accents, many are quite different from Kane and the others, indicating they co from all corners of the world, with many races Kane hasn’t even seen before, which speaks to the City’s worldwide fa.
It’s true, the fundantal desire of all flesh-and-blood sentient life is the craving for food.
The City of Gastronomy, which can satisfy almost all tastes of flesh-and-blood creatures, is indeed where this craving thrives the most.
After a short while, Kane and the others were finally able to enter the teleportation array, slowly advancing with the crowd.
After a long wait, it was finally Kane and his team’s turn to proceed with the teleportation in a burst of blue light, each transfer requiring them to queue up with the tourists.
Just queuing up was almost wearing down their enthusiasm.
Finally, after a series of teleportations, Kane and his friends arrived at their destination, the legendary City of Gastronomy.
The Teleportation Station of the City of Gastronomy was located outside the city. Kane and his companions followed the flow of tourists toward the nearby main road, which led directly to the City of Gastronomy.
The street was filled with nurous horse-drawn carts and chanical vehicles.
These were specifically waiting for tourists here, and of course, the corresponding prices were quite expensive.
But Kane and his team didn’t need these. They directly constructed a vehicle on the spot and drove along the main road with Kreya and the others.
This was Kane’s first ti driving a vehicle outside a dungeon, and it did feel a bit different, primarily much more orderly and regulated.
Inside a dungeon, if Kane held the wheel, he could be as wild as he wanted, driving however he wished.
After all, outside the dungeon, following the rules was a must.
The journey wasn’t far. Before long, they could see a vast city occupying a wide expanse from a distance.
From afar, the city seed to lack any towering buildings, appearing to consist of only several-story high small buildings.
Arriving at the city outskirts, Kane dispersed the vehicle, preparing to enter the city on foot.
The entire city had no gates or walls, just a station for entering the city.
There were guards stationed there.
If a city had no walls or gates, it typically indicated a shorter history, marking it as a relatively young city.
Of course, this rule only applied outside the borders; every city at the border was considered a new city, yet they still required walls and gates.
Kane and his companions crossed through the station and entered the city. From outside, it was clear that the city indeed had no tall buildings, just two or three-story small buildings. The architecture of these houses was visibly wooden or stone, painted in various colors, giving the whole city a cozy, ancient vibe.
Of course, it wasn’t to say that this city lacked convenience. Street lamps integrated into various roads could still be seen.
As a burgeoning city, it readily embraced the chanical Association’s novel innovations.
One could even spot cleaning robots at the roadside.
However, the most attention-grabbing aspect wasn’t the cityscape itself but the enticing aromas imdiately noticeable upon entering the city, with a variety of food aromas discernible every few steps.
The scent of spices and at, sweet desserts, and even the fresh fragrance of flowers.
The entire city, both in appearance and atmosphere, palpably encouraged relaxation, with roadside residents frequently exhibiting signs of affluence.
Throughout, one hardly encountered beggars or poorly dressed individuals; most residents wore faces resonating with happiness and smiles, indicating a high happiness index within this city.
Just after passing through the city’s residential area to slightly further interior spots, one could see the surroundings were bursting with diverse gastronomic restaurants and stalls, where tourists far outnumbered city residents. The attire of the tourists starkly contrasted with the locals.
The aroma pervaded the entire street. Due to spending the entire day queuing and teleporting, Kane and his group hadn’t eaten properly. But being Silver Explorers, they were unaffected by extended periods without food.
However, rely slling these aromas stirred their appetite, provoking the secretion of saliva, and they felt a bit hungry.
"Let’s buy sothing to eat," Kane said to his companions.
In the City of Gastronomy, the first thing to experience was undoubtedly the gastronomic delights. Being nad as such certainly entailed having an absolute competitive edge.
"Sounds great!" Everyone agreed without the slightest objection to Kane’s suggestion.
But glancing around the shops and street stalls, they were sowhat perplexed.
Most of the food here was new to them, yet solely its appearance could ignite their imnse appetite. The selection was so overwhelming that they didn’t know where to begin.
Various snacks were scattered everywhere, predominantly by tourists holding different foods in both hands.
So multi-handed species held a variety of foods in their multiple hands.
Enjoying the food also earned them the envious gazes of ordinary people.
With no other options, Kane and his companions decided to disperse and look for food that caught their eye.
After purchasing their selections, they regrouped, while izike fully exploited his advantage with food in his four hands, and four floating blue hands beside him holding more snacks.
All eight hands were holding food, and the tourists on the roadside looked at izike with almost overflowing envy.
It wasn’t just tourists feeling envious; after izike reunited with Kane and the others.
Longbei and Lilulu’s envious sentints nearly pierced the sky.
Even Kreya and Kane couldn’t hide the envy in their eyes.
