Chapter 278 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]
Arriving at the golden castle, they eventually landed on the ground, no, on the golden statue.
Baekri also heard the news and knew it, but knowing it and seeing it in person are two different things. Even to an unfamiliar person, the ground made of unusual gold gives a feeling of bliss just by stepping on it.
Even any emperor would not have been able to live in a castle made of gold. That’s why the Great Demon Kings are respected enough just to live.
“Golden! Big fucking gold!!!! Ugh, this is real gold”
“This is a place where other people also step on, so can I ask and confirm?”
“It’s okay if you brush your teeth later, what!!!”
Ruri bit a piece of gold on the floor and spat it out.
Anyway, Baekri looked around and was a little surprised to see that there was nothing but gold, diamonds, and crystals. Crystals are the least valuable, but their beautifully carved appearance is beyond imagination.
It is like a work of art that cannot be made by human hands. That’s why I was even more afraid of them.
“Let’s go in. If you want to prevent further damage, act confidently. Your position will definitely represent a lot of responsibility and power.”
“………Yes!”
At Reyes’ advice, Baekli proudly opened his chest.
I don’t know if it’s time to judge, but now I’m here to give my opinion on the right thing. There, Baek-ri was rather like an envoy with sufficient qualifications.
Entering the golden castle, the first thing to greet was a garden made of gold. Even though it is a land of metal where not a single life can grow, flowers made of diamonds and bushes made of gold stand out everywhere.
It is a work of art so beautiful that even a 100,000 people unfamiliar with precious metals can know that a single flower will cost hundreds of millions of won. For that alone, the Great Demon Kings were beyond human common sense.
“Should I break one later and sell it? I think it will be premium.”
“I’ll tell you, so wouldn’t it be better to accept it proudly?”
“Ah, that’s also true. Being here won’t mean much to you and your brothers anyway. To be honest, if you were worried about living, it would have been better to make it out of stone than Venus, which is bad for your eyesight.”
The reason why the Great Demon Kings lived in such a castle was to make humans fear and awe them.
The amount of gold mined in the current Earth is at most tens of thousands of tons, while the amount of gold that makes up the Golden City amounts to trillions of tons.
Of course, if you add the gold in the inner core of the earth, it is meaningless no matter how much you add there unless you have the technology to dig it out. Knowing that, he built a castle with enough gold to destroy the human economy.
Soon they entered the hall of the castle.
“Honestly, there’s nothing practical about it. Even if you fall down in the hallway, the average person would be in a catastrophe? The floor is not stone, but metal, so it’s going to break out.”
“It doesn’t”
“But it’s okay because the people who live here are not normal people.”
“……!!!!”
Baekri stepped back, startled by someone who appeared without a sign.
But it’s a familiar voice. He looked up at the place where Baek-ri heard the sound, as it was the voice of someone he had heard often.
The worst was there. I greeted them with a different look as usual.
“……Brother”
“Yes, welcome. Have you eaten?”
The worst greeted them as usual.
* * *
For Baek-ri, it was the first time he had met the worst since the referee.
I honestly don’t know how to deal with it. The opponent is now a person who has come out of the great demon king in earnest, and Baekri was an insignificant existence to deal with them.
He says that even though he is the manager’s agent, it still doesn’t feel real. However, after realizing the advice Reyes had given him earlier, Baekri decided to step out confidently.
“How you doing?”
“It’s me, it’s okay. I was a bit surprised that you came here. I honestly thought I’d run away because I was treated badly.”
“I did have that mindset.”
When I was fighting the worst in China, there was a guarantee that I wouldn’t die at least, but when it comes to judgment, it’s different.
He didn’t know at the time he was going through the crisis of death, but at least the worst himself that Baek-ri would come to him himself after that was honestly lowering the possibility.
Everyone is afraid of death. And those who have experienced it once are usually divided into two categories. Get drunk on the pleasure of being on the brink of death, or endure it and get up and move on.
If you look into Baekri’s eyes, you can see that he has fear but is determined. The current Baekri was the latter of the two cases.
“Come up. If you haven’t eaten, let’s start by eating first. If we want to talk, we have to eat and work hard, right?”
“That’s right. I’m hungry, so please give me a lot of food.”
“You bastard, in case I don’t know how you’re eating? Come up anyway.”
Baek-ri, who went inside following the worst guidance, eventually entered the restaurant.
He is greeted by a round table that is wide but still able to seat dozens of people. Of course, even the table is made of gold, giving it a luxurious feel.
Before long, the worst comes out with a sizzling steak. It’s thick and thick, but the amount is quite good. Nevertheless, it is deliberately served two kinds in front of each person.
One comes with sauce and the other just comes out.
“Huh? Why are there two types of steak?”
“Try it first and tell me roughly what it tastes like”
“……Isn’t there some kind of disadvantage?”
“Just try it and tell me what tastes good.”
Both give off an unusual odor. Furthermore, the steak side, which was not served with anything, was exuding the extreme smell of stimulating the appetite that can be produced as meat. It doesn’t hurt the gravy, but it doesn’t mean it’s not ripe. It was the extreme of pure fire technology.
“It’s better to try it first and decide. Doesn’t Raise oppa eat?”
“Oh, I ate before, so I’ll pass this time.”
At least Reyes got out of the situation. This is because it is ambiguous to side with anyone in the position of being hired by the worst.
For now, Baekri decided to sit down and eat. First of all, from the pure steak that didn’t put anything on it.
“Uh?”
“Orabang, this cuts really well. Meh? Is it sous-vide? It must have been roasted over a fire, but why does the gravy feel like this? It’s amazing…!!!”
As soon as you cut it with a knife, the juice drips from the cross section. Although it definitely looks like a grilled steak, the inside is moist and soft like sous vide cooked at a certain temperature for a long time.
The meat was seasoned with minimal seasoning, such as salt, pepper, and a little bit of herbs, but thanks to that, I was able to feel the pure natural taste of the steak and the explosive feeling of umami.
Soon after, slice the white brisket in moderation and take a bite.
Along with the greasy taste, the savory taste explodes in your mouth. The meat I had eaten so far was full of the feeling of total denial that it was not meat, and the juices that came out every time I chewed my tongue.
The unique taste of beef is the same, but it is a taste that cannot be placed in the same category.
Baek-ri had always thought that she did not have the sensibility to shed tears over a piece of art or food, but that seemed wrong. Because what was flowing down his cheeks wasn’t meat juice.
“Oh……John Matang”
“Isn’t that the only thing that makes sense?”
“For me to write my impressions, the margins on the page are about 10 A4 sheets of 12 point standard, so I’ll leave it alone. This is beyond the horizon of taste. It’s a taste that is not acceptable to mortals.”
“Joke too”
“It’s true. Just as there is a difference in taste between ordinary people and gourmets, there is a difference between the tastes of transcendentalists and mortals. Perhaps the taste that oppa felt was deeper than the taste I ate? Isn’t the taste of tears after eating a normal one? ?”
“……That’s right”
He said while wiping the tears from his cheeks.
No matter how delicious it is, it is not possible for a person to shed tears after eating a dish just because he or she is rich in sensitivity. This is especially true when Baek-ri considers herself not the most sensitive person.
“Let’s eat this next time”
“Yes”
Baekri then looked at another steak with sauce on it.
It was put on an iron plate so it didn’t get cold. The steak topped with reddish-brown sauce had a different smell than the previous one.
If the steak just before was punched from the front and knocked down openly, the sauce on top is like being slapped on the back of the head from behind. The greasy smell of the meat and the freshness of the sauce stimulate the appetite.
Baek Li cut the steak. Dip the sauce on top in moderation, put it in a bite, and chew.
The potential of the meat’s juiciness may be less than that of the previous steak, but it did not make a complete difference. It may not be a pure steak match, but the sauce was harmonious and supplemented the taste.
The sauce, which was slightly bitter and sweet, and rich in vegetable flavor, could not neutralize the greasy taste and made it stand out even more.
If the first steak I ate was a non-man-made steak, the one I ate now was like the fruit of someone who tried to catch up anyway.
“Ah…….!”
“This is also a dog food.”
“Say nice words”
“Do you think you’ll get a nice horse even after eating this? To choose one of these two would not be a nice horse, but a tortured one. Aaaaa! Kill me!”
“Drip really……”
But nonetheless, it was just as tasty.
If you open one of the two, no matter how bad the location or disability, customers flock to the transcendental taste. I felt like I was Romeo and Juliet with the feeling that I couldn’t distinguish superiority and inferiority.
If you come from Michelin, it was such a taste that you would give it 3 stars just by tasting it. This is a taste that seems to have been created by a being that surpasses human cooking skills.
“So which one is the top?”
“……Uh, do I have to tell you?”
“Just choose whatever you like. There may be problems with taste, but there are also problems with taste.”
If you choose purely based on taste, it’s definitely the original steak that I ate for the first time, but considering other things, it’s the steak with sauce.
If the former is the one who counter-stopped only one stat, the latter is the one who took all stats evenly. In the end, each has its own characteristics, so if you choose one of the two, in the end it’s a matter of taste.
If you ask people all over the world to eat and choose this dish, there is a high probability that it will be half-and-half.
“I like the one with the sauce on it.”
“I’m the one with the sauce too. Oh, but which one was made by you?”
When asked by Ruri, Worst said nothing and took a victory pose. Clench her fist and raise it high into the sky.
Then, the phantom who was listening to the story from behind the door bursts in. No matter how soft the metal, he came in while kicking the door made of gold to the point of cracking it.
“Hey! Come on again! They’re kids you know, so they must have gotten used to the taste of your cooking!!!”
“Yeah, you’re a sucker for cooking~, and it’s good to make excuses?”
“Ah, damn it!!!! I just happened to win once, for real!!!!”
“Are you doing the dishes today?”
To be honest, there was some truth in what Phantom said.
In normal cases, people tend to choose what they are familiar with, so Baekri and Ruri, who were usually able to experience the worst dishes, were forced to be more familiar with the worst dishes than Phantom.
As in this case, if both referees are people who know the worst, the outcome is obviously more likely to be one side.
Phantom believes in his skills, but if fairness had to be discussed, two more people on the Phantom side should have been added to determine the outcome.
“The end of the cooking battle has finally been taken!!!
“Such a brat bastard sits down in front of a meal and speaks dirty words!!!!”
“Yeah, 4 people~”
“Ah! Seriously!!! I’m afraid someone isn’t a native Korean, so even one curse word is fucking aggro!!!!!!”
“If there’s one thing I’m good at besides cooking and killing people, it’s the only thing I’m good at that is pulling off aggro. I’m confident enough to make even a grown-up with 100 years of experience angry!!!!”
“I’m so proud of you, fuck you!!!!”
Usually, phantoms are known only in the form of giants in the abyss, but their original human form is not well known, but I knew them because I had met them before when I was running a chicken restaurant.
Since he was the one who tried to kill himself, Baekli, whose complexion was hardened, carefully watched the phantom.
“Hey, but you’re not arguing with the kids for not taking your side, are you?”
“What am I? Don’t worry, I can’t do that with my personal feelings.”
In the eyes of the two, he returned to Baekri.
That gaze asked only one thing. It means ‘why did you come here’.
As the two of the great demon kings were watching, Baekri felt as if they were getting cold for an instant. And without realizing it, she said to the two of them.
“……I’m going to get sick after eating.”
“Oh, that’s not right”
“It’s a bit like eating delicious food and pretending. I’m sorry.”
“Honestly, when we eat, we have to starve to death those who quarrel or play around with their food. What will we become if we do that?”
“Admit”
The two take pride in their cooking. Although their main job is not a chef, but a king of demons, it is at least as important as putting it in second place in their lives.
That’s why I think food is important and treat it specially. Even if you got into a fight on the street, even the worst thing that called the police was to the point that a person’s life would fly away that day if they played with food. In that sense, Baek-ri made a good choice without even realizing it.
Even Baek-ri herself did not know that there was a causal rate correction given by manager Ellie.
“Let’s eat slowly and talk. I’ll make you coffee.”
“……Yes”
Baekri decided to eat slowly.
It might be your last supper, let alone the delicious ones.
