The attendant brought the menu. Kyrian opened the wooden scroll and read the names of the dishes. Flame beast ribs roasted with volcanic herbs. Mushroom soup grown on the hot slopes. Smoked meat with black pepper from the mountain range. Vegetables sautéed in fire seed oil.
None of it was familiar to him.
"Bring the most famous dishes of the house."
Kyrian said, returning the menu.
"Enough for three people."
The attendant widened her eyes but nodded and quickly walked away.
It didn't take long for the food to start arriving.
Steaming wooden trays were placed on the table one after another. Kyrian tasted each dish calmly, savoring every bite. The seasonings were strong, almost aggressive, but harmonized perfectly with the heat of the environment. It was completely different from anything he had eaten at the Blood Court or the Verdant Sword Sect.
As he ate, his ears picked up the conversations around him.
