《fall into darkness》Chapter 36 "A Flowering Tree"

"What kind of world is outside the giant wall?" The girl looked at Du Dian curiously and said, "Is there an endless sea and an endless forest that the bard said?"
Du Di'an turned around and returned to the pavilion, found a chair to sit down, and shrugged: "I just appointed a scavenger, and I haven't been outside the giant wall yet, but there must be seas and forests."
"How do you know?" Jenny followed him to the pavilion and sat on the chair opposite the tea table, wondering, "Didn't you say you haven't been outside the giant wall?"
Du Di'an suddenly thought of the old earth, the blue sea and forests he had seen, and the many beautiful scenery. He felt a little sad and murmured: "I have seen it, of course I know."
"Have you seen it?" Jenny was surprised: "Where did you meet?"
Du Dian came back to his senses, knowing that he was leaking, and continued: "I saw it in the poetry of the bard, but I believe that those must exist, otherwise, where did the bard know about it? Maybe it's fantasy?"
"Do you think so too?" Jenny was a little surprised and said, "I think so, but my father always said that those are all made up by bards, and they don't exist in reality, and even if they did, they would never exist. Outside the giant wall, he also said that the outside of the giant wall is very dangerous, is that so?"
Du Dixin thought that most of your father was afraid that you were too curious, so he secretly ran to the giant wall to peek at the scene outside, and said, "The danger does exist."
"It's really dangerous?" Jenny's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.
Seeing her sad eyes, Du Di'an suddenly felt that he had extinguished a good hope with his own hands. He couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "However, although there are dangers, it does not mean that there are no seas and forests. I believe that one day, The danger outside the giant wall will disappear, and we can go out, see the mountains and the sea, and go wherever we want."
Jenny's face suddenly glowed, and she said, "Really?"

"Really!" Du Di'an said seriously.
With a happy smile on Jenny's face, she said, "I think so too. I told my father before, but he always told me to dispel such thoughts, and said that outside the giant wall is an unknown place, except for people like you. Except for special personnel, no one else is allowed to enter."
Du Di'an smiled and said nothing.
"I really want to go outside the giant wall to see!" Jenny's face was full of longing. Suddenly, she thought of something, turned her head to look at Du Di'an, and said, "Since the outside of the giant wall is so dangerous, why do you still want to be a scavenger and go to the giant wall? Outside the wall?"
Du Di Anxin thought, I have to ask you nobles. However, seeing that the other party is still young, it is obvious that he has not been involved in these aristocratic politics, so he said: "There is no reason, maybe it is the same as you, I want to go outside the giant wall to have a look."
Jenny looked at him with a hint of admiration on her face, and said, "You are so amazing. Even though we are the same age, you are much braver than me."
Du Di'an smiled, "Because I'm a boy."
Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help blushing, and she secretly raised her eyes to look at Du Dian. Seeing that he didn't notice her shy look, she was a little relieved, but her heartbeat speeded up slightly, thinking, how can I have a relationship with someone The boy was alone in the garden. If his father knew about it, he would have to teach me a lesson.
Thinking of this, she immediately prepared to lift her skirt and stand up to say goodbye to Du Di'an.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Du Di'an thought she said something wrong, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate against women. There are also many girls among our scavengers. However, I think you should listen to your father. , The outside of the giant wall is really dangerous, and when it is cleaned up in the future, sooner or later, you can go to see the outside world, and I believe that day will not be too late!"

Through the faint moonlight, Jenny looked at the serious and confident look on the boy's face, and couldn't help but froze for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Really?"
"Well!" Du Dian nodded affirmatively.
When Jenny heard his firm words, she seemed to be a little infected, and said forcefully: "I believe in you!"
Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "I also believe in myself."
Jenny chuckled, the thought of getting up and leaving had long since disappeared, and after laughing, she said: "You know, my dream is to become a priest, although a priest can't go outside the giant wall, but at least he can judge the giant. All the bad people in the wall, I believe that when there are no bad people in the world, everyone can work together to sweep away the danger outside the giant wall soon."
Du Dian smiled and said, "Did you study the law?"
"Of course." Jenny grinned, showing a smug expression.
Du Dian smiled and said, "It just so happened that I also learned the law."
Jenny was surprised: "Have you studied the law?"
"Self-taught." Du Dian added.
"Do you want to be a priest too?"
"Well, and the goal is as great as you are!"
"Great? Clucky yes, our goals are all great!"
"how old are you?"
"It's just eleven."
"I'm almost twelve."
The night is getting darker, in the manor, in the flower pavilion, the more they talk, the more engaged they are, unaware that time flies, as if there are endless things to say, from hobbies to their ages, as well as their views on things, they all have something in common, as if found a confidant.
"One has no ears, the other has no tail, giggling." Jenny covered her stomach, smiled and bent over, completely forgetting to pay attention to the image of aristocrats, said: "What kind of strange song is this, such a strange tune, so interesting, giggling"
Du Dian spread his hands and said, "Children's song."
Jenny laughed again, thinking how could there be such a strange children's song, and it must not scare the child, but there seems to be no other explanation for the strange lyrics and simple tones except the children's song.
Du Dian was just about to say a few more children's songs, when he suddenly felt that his wrist was bitten by a mosquito and slapped to death with his backhand. Only then did he come to his senses, and he couldn't help but look back at the direction of the banquet hall.
Seeing his actions, Jenny also reacted, screaming in her heart, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and got up, and said to Du Di'an: "I'm going back, or Dad will be very angry if he can't find me."
Du Di'an was just about to go back and said, "Then you go first, and I'll go over later, so as not to be seen together."
Jenny couldn't help blushing. She turned and ran outside the pavilion. She suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, "You just said, you have heard a lot of good poems, and I like poems very much. Can you give me one?"
Du Di'an was stunned for a moment, there was no shelter from the pavilion, and the moonlight shone on her cheeks. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the beauty was as unreal as a fairy. His heart pounded and subconsciously said: "No problem." After reacting, I immediately regretted that all I had heard were Tang poems, which were classical oriental poems, completely different from the poetry genres in this world.
Suddenly, he thought of the modern poem that his sister often read, and immediately recited softly:
how to make you meet me
In my most beautiful moment, for this
I have been praying to God for five hundred years
beg it to make us bond
God turned me into a tree
grow along the road you must pass
Du Di'an remembered that the poem was called a flowering tree, and the Buddha in the poem was changed into a god by him. After all, the belief in this world is the Holy See of Light and God the Father, and there is no Buddhism.
Hearing Du Di'an's softly recited verses, Jenny was stunned for a moment. After a while, she realized that her face was blushing, and she turned and ran along the path as if to flee, disappearing into the darkness.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.

Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors.
