As Elena walked on the street, two maids walked right behind her. One of them was holding a parasol and a group of 20 more maids and butlers walked some distance behind her. Her new pet snake had taken on a smaller form and was coiling around her left hand. If one did not look carefully, the mighty serpent just looked like a fancy bracelet.
This city looked extremely old and all the buildings were gaving off an ancient aura. When Elena asked about this, the maid who was following behind her replied -
"Mistress Elena is right. All the buildings of this city, including our inn are at least a thousand years old. This city was created by ancient hero Serhalm of the demon race. He wanted to make this city into a mighty item called "Miniature City State". This was a very large project and the ancient hero had spent an enormous amount of resources for this. All the buildings of the city were created at that time with a very valuable material called the Lumintide."
"But finally, this grand plan ended in failure. There were some errors with the planning of the city and it did not turn into a magic item and could only became a semi finished one that could not change location. This made the ancient hero disappointed and soon he was hunted down by his enemies. So he was foeced to run away from the city to avoid them."
"Even though the city failed to become an item like Serhalm was hoping, it still turned out to be a fortress city with extremely powerful barriers and attacking methods protecting it. When Serhalm left, the management of the city was left to his generals. After he did not returned for several centuries, the generals started to take over the city."
"After thousands of years, the four generals managed to perfectly control everything about this city and became its rulers. Before that, the city was close to everyone but Serhalm's subordinates. But after they took over, they started to accept residents. Soon the city has turned into it's current state."
"All the buildings of the city, especially the ones located in the middle were important pillars responsible for maintaining the power of the semi created item. So any damage to them would make the city weaker. That was the reason why most of the buildings had stayed the same for many many years and had never been renovated."
Hearing the history of the city, Elena found that to be very intersting. Creating an item in the form of a large city was really something very ambitious. Even though the ancient hero Serhalm had failed in this project, Elena praised his courage in her mind.
At the same time, she got interested to see if this person was still alive or had already died. When she searched about it, the answer that she got surprised her. Serhalm was actually still alive and was a demigod working under Tiandi. It looked like Tiandi had actually heard about the city from him.
After this, Elena asked the knowledgeable maid lady about the food of the city. This was the topic Elena was most interested in. It turned out that the food culture here also has a history.
At first, there were four generals and their families who were ruling over the city. Among them, one of the ruling family had lost their demigod during a monster attack and was no longer eligible to rule over the city.
That family immediately faced an economical crisis and were in trouble. During that turbulent times, a member of the family, who was a famous foody started a food selling business. He had visited many corners of Valhalla in his adventurers to find good food and with his vast amount of experience, he had managed to create a few brand new, never before seen dishes.
Those dishes were extremely well received by the citizens and single handedly that man managed to save his family from crisis. Then following in his footsteps, many other members of the family also created various dishes and that was how the famous cuisine of this city was born. That once mighty family still had not managed to get birth to a new demigod rank powerhouse but as the pioneer of the culinary arts of this city, they had still became an integral part of it.
While telling Elena about this history, the maid had also brought her to the first ever restaurant opened by the pioneer, which was also the best place to find food in the city.
Immediately Elena booked the whole restaurant for three hours and told all the maids and butlers who were following her that they were free to order whatever they wanted to eat. This made all the people following behind Elena delighted and flabbergasted as this restaurant was extremely expensive.
Obviously Elena did not really cared about the cost of the food, especially with her current persona. She order one portion of all the dishes that the restaurant had to offer and got ready for a pleasant experience.
But just as she was about to dive into the world of tasty food, suddenly she noticed a commotion at the gate of the restaurant. Getting interested, Elena focused on that.
From what she heard, it looked like a bigshot of the city wanted to enter the restaurant but as she had already booked it for three hours, the guards were trying to stop them. This was something quite common, so Elena did not worry too much about it, as she was served the first dish of the day at that exact moment.
It was a curry like dish with a lot of meat in it. Even before eating, she was able to smell various spices and herbs, which made her more excited. Then she took the spoon and picked up the curry with a chunk of meat and brought it to her mouth.
Immediately her tongue was greeted with the a burst of flavour and Elena's heart was filled with happiness. Then she was about to bring another spoonful of the dish to her mouth, when suddenly the door of the restaurant was opened loudly and a powerful demigod with a pig head entered the restaurant.
Normally an incident like this would annoy Elena but at this time, she was in an exceptionally good mood after tasting the first dish. So she did not mind the sudden intrusion too much and started to watch with interest what one of the three overlords of the city wanted to do here.
After entering the restaurant forcefully, the overlord looked around the restaurant. As soon as his eyes fell on Elena, his eyes started shining and the bulge in his pants got bigger. Then he immediately came to her with his fastest possible speed and greeted her -
"Hello beautiful lady who can outshine even the gods. I'm Debrone, the strongest demigod of the city. Will you allow me to share the table with you ?"
