Chapter 738 409: The Informer Must Die
Roland had thought about leaving the Sea of Annihilation, but he never imagined it would be in this way.
The people of the Netherworld are tough, Sofia eventually had to wade through rivers of blood to find someone who knew the truth.
Opening the Sea of Annihilation offends the Goddess, and it's only a matter of time before death comes.
Not opening the Sea of Annihilation offends Sofia, and death comes immediately.
While you die whether sooner or later, the consequences of offending Sofia are obviously more severe.
The supposedly inescapable Sea of Annihilation silently opened a small passage, allowing Roland and Sif to walk out, full of surprise.
After exiting the Sea of Annihilation, they were guided by a Guide to the best restaurant in the Netherworld, where they met Sofia in a private room with the best view on the top floor.
The dishes were mostly served, and the red wine was decanted, just waiting for their arrival.
"Take a seat. The cutlery is a bit odd, just make do."
Indeed, it was a bit odd, who would use two thin bamboo sticks as cutlery.
Roland looked at the cutlery resembling chopsticks, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said softly, "Thank you for the hospitality."
The lifesaving grace must be thanked, but words alone are useless; gratitude must be shown through actions. So, he only thanked for the hospitality, not for saving his life.
Sif didn't speak, only offering Sofia a gentle and serene smile to express her gratitude.
Roland was the head of the family, his attitude was her attitude.
Having been saved by Sofia, it would be hard to stand against her in the future. Many others would find it frustrating, but not Sif.
She naturally wasn't someone who seeks to win, even slightly adopting a laissez-faire attitude.
If Sofia hadn't posed a mortal threat to her, she never would have considered fighting with her.
The Battle of White Mountain had almost drained all of her courage, she simply didn't believe she could face Sofia with boldness again.
Since she wasn't a match, choosing not to fight was not disgraceful.
If you don't fight, you won't lose.
Sif sat down boldly across from Roland, sitting shoulder to shoulder, very close.
This peculiar cutlery might be challenging for ordinary people using it for the first time, but she quickly mastered the technique.
Raising the cutlery in her hand, aiming at the steak in front of her, Sif elegantly and accurately stabbed the steak in the center, lifting the delicacy lightly into her mouth.
Can this thing be used this way?
Sofia's originally cold face tremored slightly, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Did I, did I use it wrong?" Sif looked a bit flustered.
"Of course..."
"Not wrong." Roland quickly interrupted Sofia, using the same method to stab the steak and put it in his mouth.
Chopsticks are free; they can be used however you like.
He quickly came up with a reason for using them that way for Sif, "Look, don't these cutlery look like a Knight's Long Spear?"
"Yes." Sif's cheeks reddened, nodding frequently.
"So, of course, the use of this cutlery should refer to the Long Spear; thrusting is a basic use of the Long Spear, naturally, it's the correct way to use Long Spear cutlery."
Roland looked up at Sofia, pleading with his eyes, hoping she would cooperate.
Sofia: "..."
Her mood suddenly soured, perhaps the dark skies of the Netherworld made her feel uncomfortable.
She didn't speak, nor did she notice that Roland and Sif's misuse brought the way of using the cutlery astray, resembling the thrust of a long spear.
Sofia didn't speak, Roland couldn't speak, Sif, who was starving, just focused on eating without saying a word.
The three of them ate in silence until the waiter brought up the prepared smoked fish.
Sofia smiled as she introduced the correct way to use chopsticks while eating this dish.
"The smoked whitefish is tender and smooth, melting in your mouth, its texture even more tender, so..."
Sif's hands moved quickly. Before Sofia was finished with her introduction, the chopsticks had already stabbed downward.
The tender fish flesh was particularly playful and wouldn't be pierced unless the usage of Extraordinary Abilities was involved, otherwise, she was destined not to get the first bite of fish.
Before Sofia finished speaking, Roland's chopsticks also moved over.
"This dish requires the collaboration of two pieces of cutlery."
Roland's single chopstick combined with Sif's chopstick, skillfully clamping the fish meat.
Sofia's hand froze in midair.
Indeed, it required two pieces of chopsticks to work together, and Roland and Sif did just that. With their bodily coordination, using chopsticks indeed didn't require special practice; everything went smoothly.
Yet, she felt something wasn't right.
Is this how you're supposed to use chopsticks? Then how does one person use them?
Unconsciously, Sofia applied force with her fingers, and a subtle crack appeared in the chopstick in her hand.
After clamping the fish, Roland wanted Sif to eat first, Sif wanted Roland to enjoy it first, and after a brief standoff in midair, Sif obediently complied with Roland, opening her cute cherry lips and taking a bite.
Sofia felt a sourness in her gums.
She wondered which idiotic chef added too much vinegar to the dish.
She thought the matter would end there, but Sif's ensuing action almost made her flip the table.
Sif held the fish meat in her mouth, not chewing or swallowing, but wrapping one arm around Roland's neck and moving up for a kiss.
Lips and teeth met, fish shared, and two agile tongues playfully tangled in the narrow cavity, reluctantly sharing the fish.
Fish: It was worth dying.
Sofia's chopsticks in her hand: What's going on, why did mine break eating this meal?
Sofia's gums bled, bitten by herself.
She finally understood why the phrase "chattering teeth" is used to describe a feeling of anger.
These two are too nauseating.
They're both adults, do they need spoon-feeding, are their hands not fully grown? They've been an old couple for years, why so clingy? Who are they showing off to?
