In Green Lake Town, when Allen returned with Albard, the cooking in the castle on the top of the mountain was still in full swing. Allen could smell the strange fragrance even in the outer city, which made people feel greedy. insect.
There are also mage towers built in Green Lake Town, but most of the wilderness mage towers only have their shape and do not have the power of a real mage tower.
In the Mage Tower next to the Magic Academy, the flow of people is not low. After all, the population of the tribe is there now, and there are still a lot of goblins with spellcasting talents. The only thing that makes Allen feel uncomfortable is perhaps entering and exiting the Mage Tower. Almost most of the goblins are dwarfs. It is considered a rarity to have three or two tall hobgoblins and bugbears.
"From now on, this mage tower will be your place of research. If you need anything, you can mention it to the supervisor here. If you need any valuable or scarce resources, and the supervisor here can't solve it, you can go to Tris and he will help you solve it. of."
"Then, I will ask a human mage named Gunther to visit you in a while. By then, he should bring a lot of information about your mage, which may be helpful to you."
Allen settled Albard in the mage tower and temporarily helped him clean up the room. Although it was a little shabby at this time, it was good for Albard's entry and exit. The space was not small, especially it was very close to the laboratory and the reference room. .
When he came back, Allen had been carefully checking Albad's body. As the lotus seed energy was digested and absorbed in his body, his condition finally stabilized. Not only was his spirit a little more energetic, but his body also became full of vitality. regained vitality.
Judging from the current energy dissipation in Albad's body, Allen believes that the lotus seeds he gave him before should have bought him about five years of life, and this was after Albad had undergone multiple modifications to his body. The result is that Albad's body was already at its limit, otherwise the effect of lotus seeds would be stronger.
Judging from the ingredients and materials used in Allen's cooking, it cannot be considered a success in five years, but in Allen's heart, he feels it is very worthwhile. After these five years, I believe that with Albad's will and talent, it is possible to be promoted; even if he does not succeed in advancing in the end and his soul returns to the River Styx, Allen can be considered as giving back to this man who has been silently serving the tribe. The child who gave the gift also no longer felt sorry for him.
As for those seemingly precious materials and potions, given Allen's personality, he didn't feel distressed at all.
"Okay, Chief."
Albad nodded obediently, and saw the goblins carrying his information and collection, messing with his things, and immediately focused on these precious things: "Be careful, there are reagents inside that I finally collected! !”
Allen saw that Albard had regained some vitality. Although he was still an old goblin and his movements were not smooth, he was relieved at this time. After giving some instructions to the supervisor in the mage tower, he went to the top of the mountain. The castle flies away.
"Didn't you say you wanted to stay there for a while? Why did you come back so soon?"
The dining table in front of the transformed bugbear in Figueres was filled with all kinds of exquisite food. A giant dragon with a glossy mouth was lying on the balcony chair on the second floor, and beside him stood Swara, the legend of the hobgoblin.
"I'll be back when the things are done. I'll be bored without you by my side!!"
Allen made a rare joke and fooled the dragon. If the dragon had been around at that time, the little lotus seeds cooked by Allen would not have been enough for the dragon to fit between its teeth!
"cut!!"
Figueras raised his lips and didn't bother to pay attention to this bugbear. He must have come back because he lost his free labor force. Who knows who it is! !
"How is the progress now? How long will it take to complete all our formula ratings?"
Allen turned his head and looked at the chefs who were still busy in the square and asked.
"The difficulty rating of 82 cooking recipes has now been completed, but the subsequent cooking ratings may take longer, and the remaining recipes may not be rated within two months."
Swara knew that Allen was asking him, and replied in a deep voice: "The ingredients, auxiliary materials and spices for many of the following recipes have not been prepared yet, and it will take some time. At the same time, there are many recipes that many chefs do not have. learned, may have an impact on the accuracy of rating of formulas.”
"..."
Allen's face was expressionless, but he felt a little more emotional. It seemed that things were far more difficult than he thought.
Things are progressing slowly, and there are disadvantages as well as advantages. Needless to say, the disadvantages, but the advantages are that it proves that the prospects and future of magic dishes are broad, and the professionalism is not inferior to that of alchemy.
By comparing potions, alchemy and magic dishes, chefs who specialize in cooking and tribal scholars who accepted Allen's mission jointly came up with a result that should be regarded as a correct summary: potions made by alchemy, It often focuses on short-term and timely characteristic blessings to help users get effective help when in distress or need; while magic cooking focuses more on the transformation of the individual's physical constitution and talent through mild dietary therapy, allowing him to Has greater potential.
There is no distinction between the two. They seem to be aiming at the same direction, but they are actually different. Although they also have aspects that the other focuses on in each other's formulas, in general, they are still different. There is a bias.
"Okay, this matter is related to the future of the tribe. You must take good care of these talents in the tribe and provide them with all their needs."
"As for the ingredients, let them write down the things that are still lacking and give them to Oliver and Tris so that they can find a solution!!"
"There are also unfavorable factors such as dishes that the chefs do not know how to cook and are not strong enough to cook. You ask the team of scholars to draft a new solution, at least so that our scoring mechanism can be relatively fair and effective."
"Understood."
Swara nodded solemnly, and then went to communicate with the team of scholars in the castle.
The spacious balcony suddenly became quiet, except for a greedy guy, who made a noisy clicking sound that made people upset.
A magic barrier, waved by Figueras casually, enveloped the balcony. In the faint magic halo, the figures of the two strong men disappeared together with the balcony. Feeling the breath of magic, Allen turned his head and looked at Figueras with some confusion.
"It feels like you've been a little unusual lately?"
Figueras asked curiously while eating.
"What's the meaning?"
Allen was confused.
"You don't seem to care much about your church and its believers lately, do you? We have been hunting together for more than a month, and I haven't seen you talk to me about them. Are you ready to give up?"
"...There is no way out for this kind of thing!!"
After hearing Figueras's question, Allen smiled bitterly: "I just followed your suggestion this time and went to the human world in the south. I collected a lot of conjectures and information about gods from the Parliament of Truth. See I did feel a little hesitant after finishing it.”
"Can you tell me what made you hesitate?"
Figueras was immediately curious. In his impression, whenever the bugbear made up his mind, he never seemed to hesitate or flinch.
"..."
Allen stared at the bugbear's amber eyes that could not be concealed. After thinking for a while, he decided to share his concerns with him: "As for the gods, everything else is okay, but it is what the human mages left behind. The data says that gods will passively change their personalities and become a completely different existence based on the fantasies of believers about gods and their own authority."
"For me, passive change itself is not something I can accept. The final choices I make will be different depending on my personality. So who can prove that the changed me is still the real me?"
"Or maybe the gods are just puppets of believers, the protectors they hope for in their hearts..."
"…………"
Figueras was a little confused when he heard it, and seemed unable to understand what Allen meant, until Allen casually threw out the notebook of anthropologist Duncan and asked Figueras to read it.
The notes were read back and forth countless times in Allen's hands. They looked much older than when they were first handed to Allen, which shows that Allen has not stopped researching these materials these days.
It was rare to get a glimpse of the secrets of the gods, so Figueras naturally would not miss this opportunity. After receiving the note thrown by Allen, he put down the food in his hand, and at the same time carefully cleaned the oil stains on his hands before starting. I flipped through this notebook page by page.
The notebook itself was left by scholar Duncan when he was busy at a certain stage, or it was a diary before going to bed after a day of work and research, so the content was complicated, and the number of words was not very large. Figueras only spent two magic hours on it. I finished reading this note.
While Figueres was reading this note, Allen cleared a clean tabletop on the dining table, took out the pen and paper he brought with him, and summarized and summarized his previous cooking gains and thoughts in Fate Fortress. .
Now that we have decided to improve the Magic Kitchen system, regarding the combination and selection of magic dish recipes, the rules behind innovative dishes, etc., we can no longer just rely on our own feelings like Allen used to cook, but should conduct research through research. Various seemingly unrelated things such as ingredients, auxiliary materials, and spices can be explored bit by bit to leave valuable experience summaries for future generations.
Allen believed that there must be its own rules behind the seemingly chaotic magic dishes, but he didn't pay too much attention to them before, so he ignored them.
Just like when I was developing new dishes for Albad at Fat Fortress, I had a lot of considerations in choosing the ingredients at that time, and many of them were unconsciously summed up from my many years of cooking experience.
For example, when choosing the dragon blood potion as a food guide, Allen took a fancy to the potion's ability to stimulate inner potential. As a bugbear who has personally used the dragon blood potion, Allen has personally experienced the scene when the whole body's energy is stimulated by the potion, and not only once.
At the same time, paired with the painstaking efforts of the Laughing Killer Whale, thousand-year-old seahorse and other auxiliary materials, these contain the strongest vitality inherent in this creature.
As for the blood of the demigod giant and the colorful lotus, they come from the mirage plane and are a collection of spiritual magic power in the plane. For Albad, a guy whose soul is gradually decaying, , this magic power is the opportunity to bring him back to life...
Complexity and huge energy are mixed together. If they cannot be integrated, the risk will be very huge for the receptors. Especially the old and decaying scene of Albad is unable to withstand this huge and complex energy. The body is plundered.
Therefore, Allen still has to consider using cooking methods to purify and extract these chaotic and even conflicting energies into a form that Albad can bear.
In the end, Allen's solution was to activate the vitality of the colorful lotus itself, allowing it to absorb the huge and complex energy in the soup, and use the plant's own condensing properties to complete all his ideas.
Among them, at that time, Allen made more choices and judgments based on his own experience and domain abilities that he had not yet perceived. But now that he has successfully cooked and carefully summarized his thoughts, Allen can still vaguely find some clues from it.
Summarizing once or twice will definitely not yield much. It is even very likely that Allen's summaries in the next few decades may not be able to figure out the rules of the magic dish itself, but if you don't sum up now, Studying the rules, the so-called magic kitchen system's great prospects in the future are just castles in the air and cannot be put on the table.
Now Allen is no longer struggling alone. There are thousands of chefs under his command who are walking on this unknown road with him. They can also, like Allen, slowly summarize and study the reasons behind the magic dishes. Laws will eventually form a truly systematic knowledge like alchemy one day, so that successors no longer have to cross the river by feeling the stones like their predecessors.
Several blank pieces of parchment were filled with general texts written by Allen. After his own reflection and summary, he actually gained a lot. Especially for this recipe, if there are two or three more opportunities to improve the cooking and replace some of the ingredients and accessories, then it can be regarded as an exact recipe.
Judging from the fact that there are very few similar potions in the current world, as long as the tribe can cook such dishes in batches, there will probably be legendary powerhouses who are willing to spend a huge price to extend their own lives.
A dying old goblin whose life potential has been drained out and who has run out of oil can still live for several years longer after eating lotus seeds. So using legend to force a more tenacious and vigorous vitality, they take this substance The final harvest will most likely achieve a stronger effect, and the life span will be extended by at least ten years.
Ten years of life is not a number that can be ignored. Even if it is judged from the hundreds of years of life of a legendary powerhouse, ten years is not an insignificant time, especially when a legendary powerhouse is about to lose his status, Wealth, power, and when it comes to death, no legend can resist this temptation.
Who can guarantee that in these extra ten years, he will not have the opportunity to go further? In other words, in these ten years, I can continue to enjoy a luxurious life and arrange my own affairs! !
"...So, you are worried about this?"
Just as Allen was writing rapidly, Figueras' long voice came. It seemed that he had finished reading the notes given to him by Allen, and his eyes were full of shock and surprise.
"But in the inherited knowledge of our dragon clan, the description of gods never considers them to be so-called noble and great beings."
"In the eyes of our dragon clan, most of these gods should be the most selfish and greedy guys, far more powerful than our dragon clan's private thoughts. For the sake of believers, these guys can launch divine wars with a single thought, and countless All the intelligent races were buried in tragic wars; in order to satisfy their selfish desires, gods will also appear incarnate, change their appearance, and use various means to steal the beauty and power they want to enjoy!!"
"The various methods and desires of such a group of guys who are glamorous and upright on the surface are completely different from what those believers preach about!!"
"It's just that the incarnations of these gods act secretly, and there is a huge theocratic church behind them to help them deal with the aftermath, so you short-lived species know nothing about it. But with the long lifespan and experience of our dragon clan Generally speaking, all kinds of dirty things done by the incarnations of these gods were always caught and recorded by our ancestors of the Dragon Clan."
"Otherwise, where do you think the so-called bloodline of gods of the royal families of human kingdoms comes from? Isn't it the result of the evil done by the gods themselves?"
"A lot of this notebook is full of conjectures. Although I dare not say that it is definitely false, judging from the historical records recorded by our clan, the conjectures in this notebook are more or less taken for granted."
"Of course, based on your and my understanding of gods, this notebook is still of great reference value, but that's all."
As a giant dragon, Figueras must know more about gods and churches than Allen. After reading this human note, he came up with some insights of his own after some thinking, and Be honest with Alan.
"..."
Allen has been thinking about this problem that troubles him these days, otherwise he would not talk about the truth parliament's information about gods.
However, behind Allen's various actions, it actually shows that he is more hopeful than worried about becoming a god, but he just needs a suitable reason to convince himself.
“But it still makes me feel worried after all!!”
"Looking forward and backward is not like the Bugbear Allen I know!"
"Hmph!! This didn't happen to you. You don't have to take risks. Of course you are open to it!!"
"…………"
It is undeniable that after some exchanges with Figueras, Allen's hesitation and confusion have subsided a lot, and his inner thoughts about becoming a god have gradually changed in a firm direction.
