Chapter 638: Chapter 52: mory Lane!
Which restaurant is the most famous in Cherry City?
Without a doubt, it’s Cherry Hall.
And which restaurant do people most want to visit in Cherry City?
Everyone would choose ‘Food & Drink Pavilion.’
Not just because the latter’s food is more delicious, but also because ‘Food & Drink Pavilion’ occasionally hosts special evaluations for industry insiders, which is particularly attractive.
However, the restaurant that Lorde brought Jason to was ‘Tony’s Restaurant.’
Cherry Hall is too expensive.
The prices far exceed what the term ‘value for money’ could describe.
And ‘Food & Drink Pavilion’?
Simply no vacancies.
He started booking a month ago, but up to now, it still hasn’t been his turn.
Lorde felt regret about this.
Of course, choosing ‘Tony’s Restaurant’ had another important reason: it suited Jason!
At least, that’s what Lorde thought.
"Don’t worry, Lord Jason.”
"I’ll try my best to book.”
"The mont there’s a spot, I’ll take you to ‘Food & Drink Pavilion.’
Lorde assured Jason.
"Alright.”
Jason nodded.
He never refused an invitation to a al.
Moreover, he was quite curious about the ‘Food & Drink Pavilion’ that Lorde ntioned.
A special evaluation for industry insiders?
Is it a culinary exhibition?
It must gather quite a number of chefs, right?
I really want to taste their cooking!
Jason thought to himself, but followed Lorde closely, stepping onto a gravel path.
Compared to the asphalt road they got off at, this path was a bit more uneven, yet not from being broken or old, but as a special kind of decorative style. ȑÂΝƟВÈ𐌔
Next to the gravel road were shops unlike modern ones, with wooden signs, windows redolent of a past era, and streetlights that had changed from electric to gas lamps.
The shopgirls here wore either white or coffee-colored loose long dresses that reached past their ankles, covering their shoes.
As they walked, their steps were light but firm, revealing youthful vitality on their unadorned faces, and their hair bands would bounce, adding to their playful charm.
The black leather shoes peeking out from under the dresses didn’t feel out of place; instead, they added just the right touch of color.
The male staff wore either shirts with suspenders or tailcoats.
The forr acted as doorn or security.
The latter were higher-level managers or supervisors.
Jason’s gaze swept over everything before him, revealing a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
It’s so much like Lorde!
He sighed to himself inwardly.
This unknown street before him, aside from a few details, was exactly like the ‘Lorde’ from his mory.
Lorde noticed the nostalgia in Jason’s gaze.
He must be one of the ancient breed!
Coming here was the right decision!
With these thoughts, Lorde clenched his fist in secret.
As one of the outstanding mbers of the ‘Clock Tower,’ he had encountered many ‘Mystical Side’ individuals, both young and old, especially the latter.
Their age was truly astonishing, even to him as a ‘Wizard.’
And without exception, they all liked it here.
They would co back from ti to ti for a walk.
Sotis to eat.
Sotis just to wander around.
Or, they’d simply choose a warm afternoon to sit and soak up the sun.
Of course, there were also those who basked in the moonlight.
So, when Jason asked him to fulfill the promise of a al, he deliberately chose this place.
After all, it’s suitable for older people.
To once again bask in Jason’s glory in the future, Lorde obviously had thought this through thoroughly.
However, he did not dare to directly say the word ‘ancient breed.’
He rembered clearly that Jason seed not to like such a title.
"We really love coming here, it preserves our most glorious era, and it’s also our place of ultimate mory—that’s what my teacher said. He’s very old, at least 190 or maybe 200 years old. The era he’s from must look like what we see now, right?”
As he recited these words he prepared earlier on the road, this ‘Clock Tower’ mber who was stationed at the ‘Ground Reconnaissance Bureau’ stealthily observed Jason’s reaction.
In his mind, at this mont, Jason should be showing a touched expression.
Then, he would take the opportunity to ntion so interesting stories from that era, leading to deeper topics.
But what he didn’t expect was that Jason looked normal, without any hint of emotion, his gaze deeply curious as he examined the surrounding shops, as if he was here for the first ti.
Huh?
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Lord Jason isn’t one of the ancient breed?
Impossible!
With Lord Jason’s performance, he must be undoubtedly one of the ancient breed.
And his current behavior…
Oh, I see!
Lord Jason detests being called one of the ancient breed, but being one is a fact; thus, the only option is to forget!
Though such ‘forgetfulness’ is self-deceptive, it’s not a bad choice for Lord Jason,
So, not only has Lord Jason ‘forgotten’ his identity, but also the mories of that era, right?
Lorde suddenly realized.
He couldn’t judge whether this was good or bad.
But it must be useful!
Didn’t you see the joy on Lord Jason’s face when he looked at the restaurants?
Compared to the teachers’ faces full of mories and emotions, Lorde preferred this kind of joy.
"Lord Jason, please follow .”
"Tony’s Restaurant is just ahead.”
Lorde imdiately said.
Following the gravel path forward, they arrived at a set of steps at the end.
