Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1307: Making A Deal With The Devil

Since they had arrived at their destination smoothly and had a good sleep, Mag wasn’t in a hurry to wake the mother and daughter. He changed into his chef’s suit, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

The quantity of ingredients wasn’t big, but everything was present.

Mag cooked a pot of congee with pork and century egg, and made a helping of youtiao.

Irina walked to the kitchen’s entrance, approaching Mag, who was removing the youtiao from the oil, as she held Amy’s hand, and curiously asked, “How did we end up underwater?”

“I saw so many fishes, Father. Are we going to have grilled fish for lunch today?” Amy asked with glowing eyes.

“We won’t be discovered as easily when we are underwater. We’re already very close to that black fog,” Mag answered Irina’s question before nodding at Amy. “If Amy wants to, we will have grilled fish for lunch then.”

“Great!” Amy nodded happily.

“Black fog.” Irina walked to the edge of the restaurant and looked out through the transparent wall. She soon noticed the black fog that was surging in the distance. Although she was hundreds of meters away from it, she could still sense the death aura that she loathed.

“Let’s have breakfast first before we go and check the situation out. The range of this black fog is much bigger than I have expected, and we have to find out our exact current location,” Mag told Irina.

“Mm-hm.” Irina nodded and brought Amy to wash up. Then, they ate the breakfast that was freshly made by Mag.

After breakfast, everyone came to the control room, and Mag turned off the auto-pilot mode. He manually flew the mobile restaurant toward the black fog gradually, and stopped about 100 meters away from it.

They could see the black fog more clearly after they had gotten closer. Looking at it gave them a sense of frustration in their hearts.

“Should I use the Holy Light to remove it straight away?” Irina asked.

“Let me do some investigation first.” Mag shook his head, and slid his finger across the screen. He set three drones up and launched them with a click.

A small droplet-shaped submarine shot out, and drove toward the black fog silently. Very soon, pictures that were sent back from the submarine appeared on a big screen in the control room. They could see all sorts of fishes clearly.

Ugly Duckling pressed against the screen and tried to put those fishes into its mouth with its fat paws.

“Is that your new pet?” Irina stared at those pictures with astonishment. This was the first time she had ever seen a magic beast that could send pictures back from a distance.

“You could say that.” Mag nodded. He had no idea how to explain the existence of the high-tech stuff.

The pictures became black as soon as the submarine entered into the black fog. However, the camera swiftly switched to the infra-red mode. There were still all kinds of fish swimming around in that surging black fog.

However, their appearance and bone structure seemed to have undergone some weird mutations. They had sharp teeth and were gnashing and attacking one another in the black fog. Mag saw a giant crayfish snap an eel in half with its pincers. Many fishes were attacking the small submarine, but the latter avoided them easily by accelerating.

“Those fish looked scary,” Amy said with a tinge of fear as she huddled into Irina’s arms.

“Could that be due to the black fog?” Irina was also looking at this scene with a severe expression.

Those fishes that were madly attacking one other seemed to have lost their minds.

“That is most probably what happened. Seems like this black fog’s influence is worse than what we have imagined.” Mag, too, nodded with a grave expression. The black fog had only covered a range of hundreds of meters, and affected just the fishes currently. If the black fog expanded and influenced more powerful species, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.

The small submarine docked very soon, and a set of rotor blades appeared at the top of the droplet. It rose up into the air silently and activated its aerial photography mode.

The island wasn’t big, and was in an irregular circle that was less than one kilometer in diameter. The black fog had already covered the island completely, and was spreading outward with the island as its center.

In the pictures taken by the infra-red camera, they could see a group of monkeys on the island. Just like the fishes in the sea, this group of monkeys had also gone into a frenzy and attacked one another. Mutilated bodies of the monkeys could be seen everywhere. Some of the bodies had already reached a height of three meters. After eating one another, these monkeys seemed to have evolved.

“This seems like an uninhabited island,” Mag said softly. That was his only consolation as he prepared to retrieve the drone.

“Look, Father. There’s round fatty over there.” Amy suddenly pointed at the lower right side of the screen.

“This is?” They could only see a vague round figure on the screen, so they turned the camera lens around and took a closer shot. A fatty who was kneeling in front of a stone statue appeared in the center of the screen. Because he was so round, he looked just like a ball.

They could only see the outline of that stone statue vaguely in the thick fog, and it resembled a skeleton.

“That figure. It’s most probably a demon from the abyss demon tribe.” Irina leaned forward and passed her judgement.

“Our current location is about 565 km west of Abyss Island, and still within the range of Abyss Island’s territorial waters. That really could be an abyss demon.” Mag nodded in agreement after taking a look at the map.

He had received an abyss demon once before when the demon species were having a peace negotiation with the dragon species. He had a deep impression of that big fatty who rode on a pig.

Moreover, the abyss demon tribe was also one of the main instigators of that assassination attempt in the past. Hence, on Irina’s must-kill name list for this trip was the ruler of the abyss—Alfred.

They had thought that it was an uninhabited island initially, but this black fog eradicating mission had become more complicated now with the abyss demons involved in it.

“He seems to be talking. Maybe we could find out from him what happened to Borg.” Mag turned the drone’s stealth feature up to the max, and then moved closer to that voice.

Blocked by the trees, the drone quickly got close to the abyss demon, and the mumbling voice began to get clearer.

“I... Alfred... serve my master... strength... offer my soul...” The drone stopped 10-odd meters away, and they were able to see that stout meatball. The words that he mumbled had even given Mag and Irina a shock.

“I didn’t expect that would be Alfred. Offering his soul for power. Could he be making a deal with the devil?” Irina said with a frown.

“What’s ‘making a deal with the devil’?” Mag asked perplexedly.

“This is an old legend. Depraved creatures would sell the devil their souls to obtain terrible power. This is the so-called ‘making a deal with the devil’,” Irina explained softly.

“I’m afraid that is not a legend.” Mag looked at Alfred, whose body began to slowly expand after he finished his words, with a severe expression.
