Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 100

If Lily shaved her head, her beautiful blonde hair would probably be worth several houses.

"You guys are setting your goals so high, aren't you afraid that when you get there you'll find a few thatched huts destroyed by the autumn wind?"

Pendragon was carrying several gray rabbits, two large and three small, which were from a rabbit hole she had dug along the way. The whole family was neatly arranged, and she had everything planned out perfectly.

"quack--!"

The three chatted as they walked up the slope of the road, and a huge building slowly came into view.

They were first greeted by the unpleasant cawing of several crows, and upon seeing humans approaching, the coal-mining creatures quickly flapped their wings and flew away.

As the sun sets, a European-style castle stands silently, its dark walls and surrounding iron fence covered with deep blue vines, giving it an ancient and desolate appearance...

It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time. It's more suitable as a filming location for horror movies than for living in.

Lily and Rin's expressions both darkened at the same time. Their lips moved slightly, but they fell silent for the moment.

"Could it really be that the prophecy has come true?"

"Thank goodness it's not a castle built of thatch."

The dormitory's architectural style is very similar to the Tohsaka family's mansion. They pushed open the gate in the wall and walked into the courtyard.

The interior was quite tidy, indicating regular maintenance. However, as they pushed open the heavy main entrance and entered the lobby, their vision instantly darkened.

The facilities in the lobby continue the European style of the building, which appears somewhat eerie in the dim environment.

Chapter 169: Give Me Your Head?

Chapter 169

"Is anyone home?" a trembling voice asked.

"Why aren't you using lights in the dark? Are you trying to save electricity?"

Pendragon complained about the lighting, though his eyesight wasn't affected, but he wasn't complaining to himself.

"It's starting to feel like we're filming a movie. Is that a sacrifice that Saber is holding?"

Lily was unusually humorous.

Lady Rin, an evil sorceress, arrives at an ancient castle filled with gloomy energy with her twin assistants to perform a sacrifice, summoning a demon...

Then roast it, sprinkle it with spices, and the devil's protein content is ten times that of beef.

She quickly shook her head to clear these chaotic thoughts from her mind, as it would make her swordsmanship less pure.

Without making them wait, an elderly man with a hairstyle resembling that of a Super Saiyan, but more even and sunflower-like, soon appeared in the dimly lit hall.

"You are the transfer students Pendragon, Pendragon Artoria, and Rin Tohsaka, right?"

"I'm the dormitory manager here, Fumio Oomido. From now on, you can call me..."

"Landlady?"

Pendragon's ahoge twitched, interrupting the dorm supervisor's speech.

The old woman's face immediately darkened. She glared at Pendragon and then said in a stronger tone, "It's Aunt Fumio, 'Maria of the North Star'!"

Compared to the landlady, this older, chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient's appearance is actually more like the Fire Cloud Evil God...

"And then, is the food you prepared rabbit?"

"Yes."

The unique entrance exam for Starry Dormitory is explained in detail on page two of the guide, and the referee is none other than the Fiery Cloud Evil God before us.

"Can the three of us cook one dish together?"

For the sake of the elderly woman's health, Pendragon snapped his fingers before she made the decision.

"Of course, as long as you can conquer my tongue, which has been tempered a thousand times."

He nodded. Although he was a little curious as to why they hadn't brought any luggage, Fire Cloud Evil God didn't say much and led them directly to the dormitory kitchen.

This time, the lights were finally turned on, and three of them were turned on at once, exposing the clean and tidy kitchen to bright light.

"It's quite big."

The kitchens at Xingjiliao are about the same size as those in hotels. The cabinets are covered with smooth, shiny sheet metal, and the tools are neatly arranged, which can make people with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel extremely comfortable. This is in stark contrast to the castle-like exterior.

"The seasonings here are just as complete as those in the classroom."

Miss Rin found the Sichuan peppercorns in the kitchen cabinet and nodded in approval.

"Lily, I'm leaving the rabbit to you."

After assigning tasks to Lily, Rin quickly turned to Pendragon and said, "Saber, help me clean and chop these."

Even though it was a victory for them, they still had to put on a show and give the proctor, Fire Cloud Evil God, some face.

Furthermore, Rin discovered that after Pendragon snapped his fingers, they didn't skip the exam and move in directly, indicating that Saber wanted to have dinner there as well.

Then we can't give too many of these neatly arranged rabbits to the dorm supervisor...

With her reasoning skills at their peak, Rin quickly came up with a plan. She took over the rabbit, which Lily had skinned and gutted, and cleaned. With swift strokes, she chopped it into pieces and began to cook it.

"Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, bay leaves, star anise..."

Pendragon picked out the still-red dried chilies from the washed spices after they had dried completely, and then put them into the hot pot, where Rin took charge of stir-frying them until fragrant.

"Grind into powder."

After ladling the stir-fried chili peppers into a bowl, Lady Rin took a small mortar and pestle from under the kitchen cabinet and handed it to Pendragon, while she went to check the heat of the soup pot.

As the group busied themselves, a rich aroma gradually filled the kitchen.

Rin uses spices with strong flavors, not the Indian curry flavor, but a spicy and numbing flavor with a distinct Sichuan taste.

When ground chili powder is poured over perfectly heated oil, the chili flavor is fully extracted by the hot oil amidst a crisp "sizzling" sound, and the originally pale yellow and transparent oil is stained with the red of the chili.

The rabbit meat was cooked and plated, and Lily's steamed rice was also ready. The rabbit family provided a total of three plates of meat.

"Spicy rabbit head, please try it."

Several rabbit heads were neatly arranged on a plate, drizzled with spicy red oil, and then Rin brought it to the dormitory supervisor.

The old man's face quickly showed signs of wrinkles, with several more appearing.

"..."

"?"

Miss Rin noticed that Grandma Fumio was just staring at them and didn't seem to be tasting anything. She assumed that Grandma Fumio was old and hard of hearing, so she repeated herself.

What about the other two games?

Grandma Wenxu's expression shifted as she tried to struggle.

"Oh, this is dinner we made on the side."

Pendragon, holding a bowl of rice that covered her nose, answered while shoveling rice into his mouth.

"..."

No, so you guys ate all the meaty parts, and I only got a few heads?

The old man's displeasure was written all over his face.

"Try it first and then we'll see."

Miss Rin said this with great confidence, even though she was also hungry, she still had the patience.

Grandma Wenxu was just surprised. Since they insisted on submitting the rabbit head, she was prepared to start tasting it properly.

"Do you know how many students' cookings I've tasted so far? I won't lower my standards just because it's cold outside. If you don't satisfy me, you'll be spending the night outdoors."

Without waiting for Rin's response, she tore a piece of meat, smeared with chili oil, from the rabbit father's head with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth—

boom!

It was like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

Numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant!

The rich flavor swept in like a giant wave, fiercely impacting the tongue and reaching straight to the brain!

For a moment, my consciousness became somewhat blurred. My body felt as if it were immersed in lava, deep within a volcano!

Grandma Wenxu's face was like a furnace accumulating steam, with a hot flush quickly rising from her chin to her forehead, and her skin began to secrete fine sweat.

"it is good……"

The old man opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and his speech began to falter.

"...So spicy!"

It's not just spicy, but also has the numbing sensation that's the soul of Sichuan cuisine. The lingering effects of these two most intense flavors still leave her with a slight tinnitus and dizziness.

Despite this, Grandma Wenxu couldn't control herself and, with her teeth still in good condition, she grabbed a rabbit head and started gnawing on it.

Judging from the way she ate it, Pendragon could imagine how delicious the rabbit head must be, definitely different from the tender, smooth, numbing and spicy rabbit meat in the bowl!

P.S.: 438070604, grandpa, come and pet the cat!

Chapter 170 Here, dog food, do you like it?

Chapter 170

A small bowl of steamed rice was left for Rin, and the remaining rabbit meat consisted of parts with little bone and plenty of meat, such as rabbit legs.

After finishing the first rabbit head, Grandma Wenxu was too exhausted to speak, but she simply took out the keys to the three rooms and handed them to them. Since the keys were numbered, they wouldn't have any trouble finding their rooms.

When Pendragon and the others finished cleaning up the kitchen and went upstairs to find their dorm rooms, Grandma Wenxu, who looked like she could faint from the spiciness at any moment, had already switched to gnawing on a rabbit head.

The three rooms are next to each other, which makes it easy to visit each other, but Pendragon won't be able to use them; he'll definitely be sharing a room with Rin.

Pendragon opened a spatial portal to move the luggage from the spaceship over, and then took a look at the student dormitories in Far Moon.

It's different from the style outside; it looks clean and tidy, and someone takes good care of it regularly.

However, one thing is strange: despite the large size of the dormitory and the considerable size of the rooms, there is no separate kitchen or bathroom.

It seems they were just waiting for the opening scene to be a killer moment, and for the male lead and the audience to get some fan service. Only this can explain such a frustrating design.

Pendragon didn't want someone to open the door for him and Rin while they were taking a bath, and then he'd kill that person.

So she used the Reality Stone to open a door in the wall, renovated her assigned dormitory room into a bathroom, set up a mental barrier, and finally used the Time Stone to fix the effect of the renovation for three years.

"..."

Pendragon was just about to put his hand down when he realized he'd forgotten about Lily.

If Lily were to be killed by the door while taking a shower, Pendragon would probably become murderous himself and would have to open another door, since the three rooms are connected anyway.

The power of the Reality Stone conjured a hot spring with flowing water and a shower in the room.

"Come on, let's test the water temperature."

Pendragon took Rin's hand and led her to the bathroom, showing her his work. Then he knocked on Lily's door and told her about it.

"Want to go to the hot springs together tonight?"

Finally, Pendragon also tried to invite her to play a back-rubbing game.

"No need...no need."

Lily hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and refused. Her intuition told her that things were going to get dangerous if things continued this way.

"Ok."

Pendragon was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist. These things have to be consensual.

"Rin, do you want a scrub?"

Pendragon took off his clothes, found Rin's dried towel in her suitcase, and went into the room that had been converted into a bathhouse.

"Please wash my hair again today."

Miss Rin, wrapped in a white bath towel, sat on the stool under the shower, leaving Pendragon with a beautiful silhouette at the door.

The room was filled with the heat from the hot spring, and wisps of white steam, like flowing clouds, created a hazy, ethereal atmosphere. Rin, standing in the room, looked like a fairy, and even her silhouette was enough to captivate anyone's soul.
