A gap the size of a head burst open in the wooden door, and a black feathered arrow pierced through the opening, its fletching trembling rapidly, its sharp tip gleaming coldly, aimed straight at Lu Lu's back.
Although Lu Lu was large, but his speed and reaction were by no means slow. The moment he heard Xi Xi's warning, he had already put one hand on the table and jumped into the air. With the other hand, he grabbed Xi Xi's arm and pulled her up. The arrow passed under him, pierced through the back of his clothes, and narrowly missed Xi Xi's hand before embedding itself in the counter behind them. Half of the arrow was embedded in the counter, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.
"Warning! Warning! The restaurant is under attack! Attack level - Level 7! The attack exceeds the restaurant's defense level cap!" Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in Mai Ge's mind.
At the same time, Mai Ge heard the sound of the wooden door breaking. Terrified, he grabbed the gold-edged cleaver and rushed out of the kitchen, shielding Amy, who was sitting on a high stool, behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Amy was unharmed, but his face turned grim as he looked at the arrow that had pierced half of the counter.
"Huh?" Amy, sitting on the high stool, glanced down at the arrow, peeked out from behind Mai Ge, and asked curiously, "Daddy, are there bad guys causing trouble again?"
"Yes, Little Amy, stay behind me and don't run around. This time the bad guys are very strong." Mai Ge nodded, his expression somewhat serious. Amy's magic might be enough to deal with a level three opponent, but this time the enemy was beyond Amy's ability to handle.
"System, aren't you afraid I'll get shot to death by an arrow like that?" Mai Ge thought to himself, annoyed.
"Although it exceeded the restaurant's defense level, but this system still made minor adjustments to the trajectory of the arrow to prevent it from harming the guests. Furthermore, this system processed the broken wood chips from the door into chunks so as not to affect the guests' dining experience. Host, you should be thanking me." the system said calmly.
Mai Ge felt a little more at ease. The system's words at least proved that it could still provide some defense and didn't want him to be killed. However, this level of defense still seemed too weak. Upgrading the restaurant and improving its defense capabilities was now an urgent matter.
Lu Lu landed heavily, pulling Xi Xi by the hand. He stumbled and stopped, his right arm gently around Xi Xi's waist. He looked towards the door with a grim expression.
"Those guys really did come after all." Xi Xi said softly, clenching her fist. Wisps of green light rose from her body, connecting her to Lu Lu like a thin thread, as if tying a green ribbon between them.
"Ah!"
"What happened?"
After a moment of silence in the restaurant, the guests, looking at the gap in the wooden door and the arrow nailed to the counter, finally realized what had happened. Some timid guests screamed, while most looked around in panic, not knowing what had happened, but instinctively sensing danger.
The restaurant was thrown into chaos. However, since the source of the attack was unknown, no one dared to make a move. Some hid under the tables, while most remained seated.
"That arrow was very powerful, Mia, come over here." Sally had somehow moved to stand next to Mai Ge, taking half a step forward. She looked at the arrow with a calm expression, but her gaze was slightly serious.
As a level seven mage and a skilled archer, she knew all too well how difficult it was to aim at a target through a wooden door and attempt to kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, there was no magical fluctuation on the arrow, and judging from the force with which it broke through the door, the person who made the move was at least level seven.
Sally wasn't prepared to take action unless absolutely necessary. Working as a waitress at the Restaurant Mai Mi was already quite risky, if people found out she was a level seven mage, her clansmen would probably come knocking on her door in a few days.
But Mai Ge, Amy, and Mia were so good to her, so she naturally wouldn't let them get into danger. The other side's target was clearly the couple, and they just needed to be careful not to get hurt.
A pale blue light shone at her fingertips. With her strength, this was not difficult for her. If those people's target was Mai Ge and Amy, she did not believe that the Lord of Frost, who was not far away, would sit idly by. All she had to do was hold out until he made his move.
Yabemia glanced at the gap in the wooden door, walked over with a slightly frightened expression, but stood in front of Sally, holding the tray in front of her, and mustered her courage to say, "I will block these arrows."
Sally looked at Yabemia, who was standing in front of her, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. Yabemia was clearly the weakest among them, yet she had chosen to stand in front of her. This feeling made her feel a little strange. Could it be... that this is what friends are?
"That little elf is not bad." Yulian, who had somehow appeared outside the magic potion shop, glanced in the direction of the restaurant and nodded slightly. His black mage robes seemed to blend into the darkness.
"Werewolves, it's been so many years. I wonder if that old dog is still alive." Yulian's gaze shifted to the hunters who had drawn their bows, forming a fan shape outside the restaurant. Their arrows were all pointed towards the restaurant, and a faint red glow emanated from them. A faint smell of blood filled the air. Although they still maintained human form, but their blood-red eyes were now filled with a bloodthirsty rage.
…
"Brandley, why are you in such a panic?" At the entrance to Aden Square, the curtain of a black carriage was lifted, and Norvan asked as he watched Brandley, who was riding a horse and following a patrol officer, about to pass by.
"Principal!" Brandley heard the voice and saw the familiar black carriage. He quickly reined in his horse, a mixture of surprise and anxiety in his voice. "The Patrol Office reports that someone is planning to cause trouble in Chaos City, and the target is extremely dangerous."
"Cause trouble? Where?" Crassus also turned his head to look at Brandley and asked.
"Lord Crassus, you're here too. According to the report, their target seems to be the Restaurant Mai Mi." Brandley was slightly startled when he heard Crassus's voice, but he quickly replied. The main reason he rushed over was because of the Restaurant Mai Mi.
If something were to happen to the Little Boss, no one knows what kind of wrath the Chaos City would have to endure from the Lord of Frost and the God of Fire.
"Let's go! Restaurant Mai Mi!" Crassus's voice suddenly turned cold, tinged with worry.
Monkey kept his eyes down and didn't dare to say a word. Inside the carriage were two important figures whom even Lord Brandley had to treat with respect. So Monkey obediently led the way.
Two horses and a black carriage headed towards the Restaurant Mai Mi.
...
"Big Bear, White Cat, if you don't want the people here to be buried with you like that little village twenty years ago, then come out obediently." Anselm casually tossed his longbow to the ground, clenched his fist, and five 30 centimeters long claws shot out, gleaming coldly in the moonlight. His eyes glowed red in the darkness, and he licked his lips, his bloodthirsty aura making the air feel somewhat cold.
