Chapter 185 Is the Food Poisonous?

Because the nobles didn't care about Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang easily followed Jiu Luo to a corner where no one was.

Jiu Luo held a tray in his hand, on which were placed several different dishes, both meat and vegetables.

Gao Qiang frowned.

It had reached the point where Jiu Luo needed to remind himself directly, could there be something wrong with the dish?

"Is there poison in this dish?" Gao Qiang asked subconsciously, "Is Zaka going to poison us?".

If there was anything wrong with the dish, Gao Qiang's first thought was the most serious thing.

Jiu Luo chuckled.

"You think too seriously, this is not the case."

"But the first half of your sentence is not completely wrong."

The first half of the sentence?

Gao Qiang recalled for a few seconds, suddenly widened his eyes, lowered his voice and asked: "Is there poison in the dish?"

Jiu Luo nodded.

"In fact, I don't know whether I should say that the chef who made these dishes is too smart or simply stupid."

Picking up a piece of meat, Jiu Luo put it in his mouth to feel it.

"The sauce of the dish contains a numb element, but it is very mild, so mild that it is difficult to affect the body."

"Because these elements are too mild, many professional chefs may not be able to taste them."

"So I had doubts before, maybe the chefs in the Governor's Mansion are too poor and failed to handle the ingredients well."

"But..."

Jiuluo picked up another piece of pumpkin and ate it.

"When I tried different dishes, I found that each dish contained this mild numb element."

After listening to Jiuluo's words, Gao Qiang looked at the noisy banquet hall next to him with strange eyes.

If it is true as Jiuluo said, the other party poisoned the dishes, it would not make sense.

So many nobles ate the dishes at the banquet, did Zaka want to poison all of them?

"You don't have to think too seriously."

Through Gao Qiang's eyes, Jiuluo realized that Gao Qiang had made the situation serious, and then hurriedly explained.

"There is an old saying in the chef world that talking about toxicity without considering the dosage is just a hooligan."

"In fact, with the content of this numbing element, as long as you don't eat like Sasha, even if you eat too much, you won't have much reaction."

"In most cases, nothing abnormal will happen. The worst case is that you will get cramps when you do strenuous exercise."

Listening to Jiuluo's words, Gao Qiang's expression also looked a little weird.

If the worst case is this, Zhaka seems to have no reason to poison himself.

Because the dosage of the toxin is too small, the effect is only slightly numb.

Even Jiuluo is not sure whether the chef who prepared the banquet did it intentionally or unintentionally.

"So this dish?"

Gao Qiang hesitated and looked at Jiuluo.

"You can eat the dishes here without worry."

Jiuluo immediately responded: "My main purpose is actually just to remind you that it is best not to believe the attitudes shown by some scoundrels."

After getting Jiuluo's guarantee on the safety of the dishes, Gao Qiang quickly returned to the dining table.

There were already a pile of bones in front of Sasha and Dakai, and they seemed to be competing to see who could eat more, without any manners.

Among the few people who came with Gao Qiang.

At this moment, only Ye Na was sitting at the table, picking seafood elegantly.

While slurping the meat and juice of the lobster, Ye Na muttered his sins and confessed himself.

"Woo, the breath of life, damn, why is it so fragrant..."

As an elf who advocates life and nature, Ye Na once vowed not to eat them before they die naturally.

If it is a life that has been killed, he will never eat it.

It was during this time on the ship that Ye Na slightly relaxed some of his harsh requirements for himself.

For example, it is not too much to eat a killed creature a day.

As a natural partner.

If those fish, shrimps and crabs knew that they had contributed to the continuation of the life of an elf, they would definitely smile in their graves!

Thinking of this, Ye Na showed tears of emotion, and then took another plate of seafood and placed it in front of him.

Actually, because Jiu Luo's cooking skills were so good, Ye Na had already raised the target of eating dead creatures from one to 50 per day.

But the feast held by Zhaka today, although the quality was not good, the quantity was enough.

Eating only fifty seafood a day, no matter how you think about it, it is too harsh on yourself.

"I'll raise it to fifty more."

After breaking through his bottom line without any psychological pressure, Ye Na stuffed the crab roe in his hand into his mouth with a guilty look on his face.

At this time, Gao Qiang, who had been paying attention to Ye Na's show for a long time, shook his head.

Sure enough, he had too high expectations for these people.

Except Jiu Luo, no one is reliable!

Sighing, Gao Qiang casually took a glass of fine wine on the table.

[You found a rare item: Jadeite Glass Cup]

What the hell?

The hand holding the wine glass paused.

Gao Qiang looked at the wine glass in front of him, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Any wine glass can be labeled as a rare item.

Is it that Governor Zhaka is too rich, or...

Gao Qiang thought of another possibility.

War games, although there will be real death, are still a game after all.

An NPC like Zaka might be equivalent to a faction leader who issues tasks.

He would place some bounties from time to time, and then take some of his own scraps as rewards.

Just as Gao Qiang was thinking this.

In the reception room, Zaka was laughing with Long Xianyao.

What Long Xianyao didn't expect was that although Zaka's previous actions were a bit indecent, he didn't do anything beyond the limit when they were alone in the same room.

On the contrary, Zaka seemed to be more concerned about some situations at sea.

"I heard that there is unrest at sea recently." Zaka sighed.

"Merchant ships traveling to and from Yushan Island often mention that they heard the singing of sirens while sailing."

"Every time the singing ends, some sailors will disappear."

"I wanted to issue a bounty order and use the assets in the palace to deal with the monster that caused panic, but I never had time to do it."

"The distinguished guest from the Fog City happened to come from that sea area. He should not have encountered any danger, right?"

After hearing what Zaka said, Long Xianyao vaguely remembered it.

Previously, when she was on Baixiang Island, this strange singing seemed to have appeared among the sea tribes that besieged her and the military lord.

But the owner of that singing was dead.

The abrupt end of the singing was also a major reason for the retreat of the sea tribe.

"If this is what Governor Zaka is worried about, I think it is actually unnecessary." Long Xianyao said softly.

"I believe that there will be no such singing to disturb your territorial waters in the future."
