Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 227 Acacia's Main Hall

I walked side by side with Alu and started a full meal tour of Acacia. We visited each food hall one by one, paying homage with the most sincere respect and piety.

As we passed by that bustling neighborhood, I suddenly saw a small shop called "Meishi Wanlai". The appearance of this shop was very unique and immediately caught my attention.

I pointed at the store excitedly, my eyes sparkling with anticipation, and shouted, "Mr. Alu, look! There's food fortune telling over there. I want to try it!"

Ah Lu showed a hint of surprise, followed my gaze, and saw a shop in front of him. He noticed that I was already rushing forward impatiently, so he quickly quickened his pace and followed closely behind me.

I walked into the store with curiosity and found that it was filled with various kinds of food sticks. These food sticks were carefully displayed on the shelves, and each one exuded a mysterious atmosphere. Each food stick represented a different fortune, which made people want to find out.

I couldn't wait to walk into the store and carefully observe the exquisite food sticks. They have different shapes, some look like leaves, some look like fruits, and some look like small animals. Each food stick is engraved with a special symbol or pattern, which is said to bring good luck.

A Lu looked up at the shop sign, his eyes sparkling with surprise, and his voice was filled with a barely perceptible excitement: "There's still a shop selling amulets, [Meishi Wanlai] shop. I wish to meet delicious ingredients, this is the wish of everyone born in the era of gourmet food."

"Others include [Abundance and Prosperity], which is mainly for people engaged in agriculture and aquaculture to pray for a good harvest. This one is [Fat Loss and Weight Loss], which is for the purpose of beauty and weight loss, and is mostly a wish prayed for by women." A Lu looked around the store with great interest, his eyes moving between the shelves, and he carefully studied the food sticks from time to time.

I became very interested in these food sticks and decided to try to buy one. Maybe it can really bring me good luck. So I picked a food stick that looked special and paid the owner for it.

When I got the food sticks, I felt a little uneasy. Can this little food stick really bring me good luck? I held the food sticks in my hand, full of expectations. Although I don't know if they can really change my fate, this interesting experience makes me feel very novel.

After leaving "Meishi Wanlai", Alu and I set out on the road to the main hall of the shrine. We walked slowly along a quiet path. The path was lined with various flowers, plants and trees, and occasionally butterflies fluttered among the flowers, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling.

We came to a huge cedar forest. Every cedar tree here was towering into the clouds, with straight and thick trunks, like pillars supporting the entire sky.

The luxuriant branches and leaves of the fir forest are like big green umbrellas, forming a dense shade. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The air is filled with a faint scent of trees, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

A Lu and I walked side by side towards the main temple. Along the way, we met many devout believers who were dressed simply and walked towards the main temple step by step with awe.

I looked up at the tall fir trees and couldn't help but feel amazed. I felt how small I was and couldn't help but exclaim, "These fir trees are so tall that they reach the sky!"

Alu put his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding trees, and said in a very excited voice: "The sacred tree of the Gourmet Shrine is the Gourmet Cedar, collectively known as the 'Gourmet Tree'. It is said that this was once an auspicious tree used by Acacia's partner, the chef Frosse, to make chopping boards and other cooking tools. Although Gourmet Trees are distributed all over the territory, this is the largest one. We are not far from the main hall, Xiaosong."

I focused my sight on Alu, and a gentle smile slowly rose at the corner of my lips, with a hint of intriguing charm in my tone: "Mr. Alu, I noticed one thing on my way to the pilgrimage. Generally, a full Western meal has a total of 8 dishes from appetizers to drinks, but there are only 7 dining halls in Acacia!"

When Ah Lu heard this, his eyes revealed a trace of doubt and puzzlement. His mind was filled with countless question marks, as if he was thinking about a difficult puzzle: "Oh, is that so? But... I care too much about this."

"We can see the main hall, Xiaosong!" At this moment, Alu suddenly pointed forward excitedly, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement and anticipation, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

I looked in the direction pointed by Alu, and saw an ancient and solemn shrine standing quietly not far ahead. The two ends of the shrine's roof were raised high, like two phoenixes spreading their wings to fly, exuding an indescribable sacred atmosphere.

My eyes met with Alu's at that moment, and we both read the surprise and expectation in each other's hearts. So, we took big steps at the same time, full of excitement and curiosity, and rushed to the coveted shrine together.

When we stood in front of the main hall of the shrine, we were shocked by its spectacular sight. The scene in front of us was breathtaking. The roof of the main hall was covered with blue-gray tiles, which shone softly and deeply under the sunlight. Each tile carried the memory of the years and the precipitation of history. The walls were built with solid wood, and the wood grain revealed a simple and natural atmosphere. The entire shrine building is not only magnificent, but also reveals a sense of tranquility and harmony.
