Chapter 144: The Little Devil Guild Cordially Invites You to Be a Food Consultant
Unlike other simple-minded demons, Doyle Candice clearly understands after studying the "delicacies" that humans enjoy…
This seems to be what Lady Interrogator Lolth has been working on all along.
So, even though the appointment of the "Chief Consultant" by the Demon King is a small task that a subordinate could handle, Doyle still came in person.
And just as she expected… Lady Lolth has actually built an "agricultural zone" in Hillenbrand Town!
After seeing the "Southern Dining Hall," Doyle was even more sure that these crops and dishes were loved by all the races from the mainland!
It even seemed that a large number of Superoperators, who should have been deserters from the Holy Alliance, were gathered because of this.
This gave Doyle a lot of confidence right away.
Next, in the business negotiations with those nobles, she could definitely take the lead.
Of course, since these crops rightfully belonged to Lolth and were related to the issue of "feeding the common people," she certainly could not plan business in this matter and must report truthfully to the Demon King afterward.
However, just as those nobles from Seychelles said, humans—especially when they are wealthy—will not be content to eat only simple and bland food, even if they are commoners.
For them, having more diverse choices and higher quality cuisine is also a necessity of life.
One could even say it is a basic need.
But this need is undoubtedly linked to business.
Restaurants, delis, fancy dining places, and even snacks…
These are the places that common people and even nobles need every day.
After arriving in Lady Lolth’s territory, the cafeteria indeed has many higher-end dishes.
Although everyone who works has basic meals to eat, adding more delicious dishes costs extra money.
The people of Hillenbrand Town are obviously very prosperous under Lolth’s rule, and for them, good food is truly a necessity.
In the cafeteria, besides the simple meal counter, there are barbecues, hot pots, roasted meats, stir-fries, steaks, and other human delicacies that Doyle has never heard of or seen before.
Even though, as the Little Devil, she is not interested in those things, she can still tell that these "aromas" have a deadly allure for humans.
And not just food, the array of drinks is also overwhelming for everyone.
The soda called cola even looks extremely rich in abyssal characteristics, and many humans call it "Abyss Happy Water"—this name made Doyle realize that Lady Lolth has somehow changed many people’s fixed impressions of the abyss with just this one drink.
After all, when people talk about the abyss, who wouldn’t think of that place as a symbol of chaos and evil? Even the Abyssal Demon names its plants, animals, and minerals with names like "Death XX," "Decay XX," and "Magic XX."
After all, no one can call a beast with protruding fangs that can bite through steel a "Pink Fluffy Bunny," even though there are indeed pink groups among the Abyssal Great Tooth Beasts.
That drink called "beer" is especially favored by drunks and dwarves.
This made Doyle marvel again at Lolth’s wisdom.
It turns out that the honorific interrogator had already anticipated the food issue when she first arrived on the main plane, which is why she went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to cultivate those plants and animals.
I previously thought it was just a quirky habit of the genius interrogator… now it seems I underestimated her vision!
The truth is, the interrogator not only thought about the food needs of the humans, but she also aimed for something beyond simply recreating some "delicacies."
Through the residents of Hillenbrand Town and the Superoperators, Doyle learned that all these delicacies were personally developed by Lolth.
"Beer" also confirmed that only Lolth’s strategic vision in the entire Demon Army is on the same level as the Demon King. Indeed, the Demon King entrusted the important matter of people’s livelihoods to Lolth for a good reason.
Lady Lolth truly understands the matter and has already expected this.
After reporting all of this to the Demon King, I must also secure the right to manage Lady Lolth’s "delicacies" in Hillenbrand Town for the Little Devil Guild!
Thinking this, Doyle Candice flew to the riverbank, watching Kanor hand out fried chicken to everyone.
"Hmm… this child seems a bit familiar?"
I’ve met this human girl before in the torture tower.
And even earlier, when Lady Lolth traveled in Vera Plain, she seemed to have been with her…
So, after Doyle approached, she took the initiative to greet the people there.
"Everyone… what are you eating?"
As she said this, Maider, Tina, and others turned to look at this little devil messenger along with Kanor.
Although the race is the Abyss Demon, the group of dwarves who originally worked as craftsmen in the Holy Alliance showed no hostility at all.
"Are they Master Lolth’s friends?"
"Oh—really, has Her Excellency Tina met her?"
Tina nodded and gestured towards Doyle Candice.
"Her Excellency Doyle, have you finished your conversation with Master Lolth?"
Tina, holding a chicken leg, asked seriously.
"It’s finished, but there’s no hurry to go back, so I’m just wandering around… What are you all eating?"
Doyle asked curiously.
"It’s a new dish from Miss Kanor Fuen… she is Master Lolth’s student."
Tina pointed at Kanor, who was still busy deboning the chicken, and replied.
"I see," Doyle nodded, looking at Kanor, "Your name is Kanor… Nice to meet you."
Kanor turned her head and looked at this Little Devil, who did not seem much older than herself, and clearly recognized her.
"You are… I remember Master Lolth saying that your name is Doyle Candice, right?"
The little fried chicken chef stopped her work, wiped her hands on her apron, and asked.
"Yes, that’s me," Doyle nodded, then got straight to the point, "Ms. Kanor Fuen, I am here on behalf of the Little Devil Guild to invite you to become our head of the food department. I wonder if you would be interested?"
Before Kanor could refuse, Little Devil continued speaking eagerly.
"Of course, I’m just seeking your opinion right now. If you are willing, I will discuss this matter with Lady Lolth, ensuring it won’t affect your master-apprentice relationship—meanwhile, as a return, I will offer you and Lady Lolth a share of the profits… Of course, Ms. Kanor, if you feel uncomfortable, I won’t force you!"
