Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 836: Exotic Customs, Isaac's Banquet

"Full-nature and fidelity..."

When the sacred tree heard these four words, it pondered for a moment. Having lived on Nasen Island for a long time, it did not know about the Quanxing organization, but it understood the concept of Quanxing.

This theory can be very small, but it can also be very big, so big that it can hold the whole world. Obviously, Zhang Zhiwei is talking about the latter.

"Well, I hope you can make it. We'll see you in a hundred years!"

The silhouette of the sacred tree disappeared from Zhang Zhiwei's consciousness. Zhang Zhiwei blinked, and in front of him was the surging sea. Isaac was still explaining to everyone how to use the door key. The conversation between him and the sacred tree just now passed in a flash in the outside world.

"Okay, now that I'm done, everyone should know what to do, right?" Isaac asked.

"I understand. Let's get started!" Tian Jinzhong said eagerly. He had already taken the Floo Network once, but he was still curious about this way of traveling by teleportation.

"Then let's get started!"

Several people gathered around Isaac's tattered boots, stretched out their hands, pointed their index fingers at the boots, and waited for Isaac to cast magic.

Because he was worried that Gellert would cast spells and cause trouble during the transmission, Isaac threw Gellert into the space equipment.

"Ready, three... two... one
Isaac whispered, chanting a spell in his mind.

In an instant, the tattered boots glowed, emitting a strong attraction.

Everyone felt as if there was a hook hooked on their belly buttons, and pulled forward suddenly. They were like fish caught by a hook, breaking through the water in an instant and entering another space.

During this process, they couldn't see anything clearly, and they were flying forward like a gust of wind, but they could feel that there were people around them, and their shoulders bumped against each other, and from time to time they could bump into a broad chest.
Zhang Zhiwei could see clearly that this transmission network was very desolate at the beginning. It was just a thin green passage with nothing around it. But after a while, the passage began to become complicated, with many branches appearing, extending in all directions and leading to the distance. There were also many closed fireplaces around the branches.

Those closed fireplaces should be the nodes of the Floo network. Floo powder can be used to open these nodes and teleport. In other words, the teleportation network used by the portkey and the Floo powder is the same, but one is a temporary teleportation point and the other is a fixed teleportation point.

The reason why the previous section of the passage was so deserted was that there were no other teleportation nodes around Nasen Island.

This kind of transmission network also exists in Shenzhou. For example, the fire seed of Huode Sect is almost the same as a door key.

Zhang Zhiwei estimated that there should be fixed teleportation points like the Floo powder fireplace inside the Huode Sect.

However, the size of Huode Sect is still too small compared to several major magic academies, so it is not used much in this regard.

The pair of torn boots was like a carriage, dragging them through the transmission channel. Zhang Zhiwei saw that the speed of the torn boots slowed down, and he knew that they were about to reach their destination.

The broken boots turned and entered a certain node. They seemed to have passed through a barrier. The sound of wind in their ears suddenly disappeared, and their feet fell heavily to the ground.

He stopped suddenly, and Tian Jinzhong was unable to react and stumbled forward.

Zhang Zhiwei reached out and lifted him up. Except for Tian Jinzhong, everyone else was in a rather miserable state.

Lu Jin and Isaac's neatly combed long hair was blown messy and askew by the wind. Lu Ci's hedgehog hair was not affected much, but his clothes were a little messy.

Isaac took out a comb and said as he combed his hair, "This is normal when using a portkey. You'll get used to it."

He noticed that Zhang Zhiwei's hair was not messy, and added: "It's not normal for someone like Zhang!"

"People who practice cultivation should always pay attention to their manners! Where is this place?" Zhang Zhiwei looked around. They were in a desolate swamp.

"The journey is too long to go back directly. We need to transfer and the next stop is London."

As he spoke, Isaac pulled out another worn-out boot from a swamp.

Zhang Zhiwei took a quick glance. The previous boot was on the left foot, but this one was on the right foot. Judging from the shape and size, they should be a pair. He then looked at Isaac's feet. Could it be that this guy wore an old one? !
"Isaac, can you change to something more elegant?" Lu Jin complained.

Isaac said, "That's exactly what I want. I don't want him to be picked up by someone and not be able to find him when I look for him later."

"I've suffered this kind of loss several times before. One time, I used a ring. Even though it was just an inconspicuous silver ring, it was picked up by someone. After several twists and turns, it took a lot of effort to find it."

"Later I used a piece of iron, but even that was picked up and sharpened into a knife."

"Only something like this, broken and rotten, emitting a foul smell, without any value and without any possibility of repair, is safe enough."

Lu Jin said, "Can't you just carry it with you?"

Isaac raised the torn boot in his hand and said, "Our current location is a fixed space node. This thing is just a key inserted in the door, and space has the ability to self-repair. If the key is removed from the door, the door will slowly heal and cannot be used."

"I see!"

"Come on, let's continue!"

Several people pointed their fingers at the broken boots again, Isaac chanted a spell, and continued to teleport.

This time they came to Isaac's residence in London. They were in the kitchen of the residence. In front of them was a huge fireplace with a pale golden flame burning in it. They had just come out from here.

On the fireplace table, there are various small objects, including a compass with the word "Truth" written on the needle, several colorful memory bottles, and a photo.

In the photo, Isaac and Gellert are standing by the river, leaning against each other and smiling brightly.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at it and muttered a few words in his heart. He would not speculate on things that were not confirmed.

Lu Jin, however, pointed at the photo and said bluntly:
"Isaac, why is the photo of you and your best friend so weird? How can two grown men act like girls? It gives me goosebumps."

When Lu Jin is not familiar with someone, he will behave properly and politely. But once he gets familiar with them, he becomes eccentric. For example, he said what he just said without thinking.

"uh-huh!"

Isaac did not respond to Lu Jin's words. He coughed lightly and took out some pudding and various sweets from the cabinet next to him.

"You must be tired from the journey, would you like some food?" he asked.

After hearing what he said, some people who were not hungry suddenly felt hungry and asked for something to eat.

Zhang Zhiwei took a quick look and picked out a few pieces of dessert with a little bit of cream to eat. They were still very sweet, but barely acceptable.

Lu Jin, Lu Ci and Tian Jinzhong all had indescribable expressions on their faces.

"Isn't it tasty?" Isaac asked.

"It's a bit too sweet!" Lu Jin said with difficulty, he felt like something was choking his throat.

"It's indeed a bit too greasy." Lu Ci also looked uncomfortable. Tian Jinzhong was speechless, and his mind was confused. Lu Jin and Lu Ci were young masters from aristocratic families. They usually ate a lot of candy, and they felt greasy, not to mention him, a Taoist priest with a light diet.

"Then how about I make something else for you?" Isaac said.

Everyone said they didn't need it, but Isaac repeatedly said that the dessert just now was just an accident, and he wanted to let them taste real Great British food and show his hospitality.

Hard to refuse the kindness, everyone agreed, and then Isaac led them from the kitchen to the living room.

An expansion spell had been cast on the living room, so its actual area was much larger than it looked. There was a bookshelf reaching the ceiling, filled with magical tomes and classic literature.

What’s interesting is that these books will actually change positions by themselves. When Zhang Zhiwei looks at a book, it will slide to the most convenient position for reading.

On the wall next to the bookshelf, there is a moving painting, which is similar to the live photos in later generations.

The painting depicts autumn in the Scottish Highlands, with golden and red leaves rustling in the invisible wind.

There is a round table in the middle of the living room. The surface of the table is covered with mysterious patterns. If you look closely, you will find that the patterns are actually the tracks of the stars. You can do divination on this table.

On the table were copies of the Daily Prophet and several boxes of chocolates.

"Try this? It's chocolate, and it tastes pretty good!" Zhang Zhiwei said, pointing to the iron box containing chocolate.

Several people shook their heads repeatedly. They learned a lesson from their mistakes. They were almost choked to death before, so this time they were determined not to touch these things. Not them, and not Zhang Zhiwei either.

Isaac used his magical powers, so soon his meal was served on the table. When it was served, he also gave a brief introduction to everyone.

The first was fish and chips, a very simple meal, with fish coated in batter and deep fried, thick French fries on the side, and topped with tartar sauce and ketchup.

There are also Scotch eggs, which are quite unique. They are made by wrapping boiled eggs in sausage meat, coating them in breadcrumbs and frying them.

……

Isaac brought out a lot of food, most of which even Zhang Zhiwei had never seen before.

The only familiar thing might be Beef Wellington, a famous high-end dish in England that he is familiar with. The steak is wrapped with a layer of foie gras, surrounded by ham, and finally baked in puff pastry.

Zhang Zhiwei was quite hungry for this food. Judging from the appearance, it should taste good. However, the next dish that Isaac brought to him made him feel dizzy.

"Zhang, Lu, Lu, Tian, ​​this is a London specialty delicacy that I carefully prepared, the Stargazing Pie. You must try it!" Isaac said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions froze, because in the plate in Isaac's hand, a group of fish heads strangely emerged from the pie, staring upwards with dead fish eyes.

This horrifying scene can be used as abstract art or as a horror scene, but it should not involve food.

"Is this thing edible?" Lu Jin expressed deep doubt.

"I don't think so!" Lu Ci glanced at Lu Jin. He seriously suspected that Isaac did this to retaliate against Lu Jin for saying the wrong thing before.

Tian Jinzhong looked at the Stargazing Pie in Isaac's hand, then looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said:
"Brother, isn't this thing similar to the loach-stuck tofu dish you made for us before? It's just that the loach is replaced with fish."

"Brother Zhang has also made this kind of dark cuisine?" Lu Jin and Lu Ci looked at him in surprise.

"I'll make it for you to try some other day." Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

The two of them immediately shook their heads.

"Zhang has made something similar? It's obvious that Zhang is not very good at cooking, so it's definitely not as delicious as my special one. You should try mine carefully!"

Isaac pointed at the fish heads that were staring up at the sky in the cracks of the pie crust and said with a smile:
"This is an improved version. The eyes are not real fish eyes. I used glowing magic berries as eyes. In this way, although it looks scary, it tastes great..."

"Besides, don't you think they are very 'vivid'? The berries emit a blue light, and if you look closely, it looks like the night sky of London, which is even more in line with the name of this dish. This is a romantic dish, you must try it."

Zhang Zhiwei silently picked up the fork and carefully poked the pie crust, and scarlet jam flowed out.

He picked up a small piece and tasted it. Although it looked creepy, it actually didn't taste bad. But it was hard to say how the pile of fish heads were.

Zhang Zhiwei put down his fork: "It's really romantic!"

Seeing Zhang Zhiwei moving the fork as an example, others also tried it and gave a positive answer.

"Try the fish again, that's the essence of this dish," Isaac greeted enthusiastically.

Everyone looked at the fish head, met those eyes that were still open, and then looked at Zhang Zhiwei, hoping that Senior Brother Zhang would make a sample for them to try.

Zhang Zhiwei sternly refused: "I don't eat fish!"

"Why?"

“Because it’s good!”

Isaac: “…………”

Zhang Zhiwei immediately explained to Isaac the four things that Taoists should not eat. The fish in the four things that they should not eat refers to black fish, but the master had taught that one should learn to be flexible, so it would be okay to extend the idea.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci knew about it, but they didn't dare to step on Senior Brother Zhang's stage at this time. After all, Senior Brother Zhang's brain would explode and he would not let anyone off the hook.

"Me too!" Tian Jinzhong said quickly.

Isaac looked at Lu Ci and Lu Jin: "Zhang Hetian doesn't want to eat it, you two must try it, this is my hard work!"

The two looked at each other. Now that things had come to this, it would be rude not to eat. So they gritted their teeth and each took a piece of the fish head and put it to their mouths, but they were hesitant to take a bite.

Isaac, on the other hand, took a fish head and took a big bite without changing his expression or heartbeat, revealing a look of enjoyment:

"It's really delicious, Lu, don't you want to try it?"

Is it like stinky tofu, which smells bad but tastes good? Having said that, Lu Jin bit off a piece of it with gritted teeth. A fishy smell rushed straight to his head. His face turned green and he felt sick.

But in this kind of situation, it would be impolite to spit it out directly. He was a respectable man, so he had to swallow it down.

"Lu, I forgot to tell you that this fish head is very fishy. Only by combining it with the berries on the fish eyes can it remove the fishy smell and enhance its fragrance, thus stimulating its unique flavor!" Isaac said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
