Chapter 15: Are These Proper Vegetables?
Inside the torture tower, after assigning the challenging tasks of feeding animals and cleaning the pastures to Tina, Lolth went to the greenhouse farm on the lower floor to water and pest control the fruits and vegetables.
Although some unique animals and plants were grown in various interrogation rooms, the main large-scale farming was concentrated in the upper levels of greenhouses, farms, and pastures.
Although it was not as large as a real farm, the yield was enough for Lolth to eat until the end of the war.
Originally, she planned to open a second cafeteria in the Demon Army to make some extra money. Who would have thought that the entire Demon Army actually loved the food from the cafeteria that normal humans couldn’t stomach, which made Lolth very frustrated.
Most of the harvested ingredients can only be stored for now.
Fortunately, now there is an extra mouth to feed, which can help Lolth consume the overly abundant ingredients.
As for asking Tina to help manage the farm, Lolth didn’t have high expectations of her.
When she was building these farms, she used a lot of mechanical and magical constructs for long-term convenience, making it almost semi-automated for cultivation.
Even though she waters and deals with pests herself, it’s just a small personal interest for her.
If she gets really busy, she can simply activate a magic circle to get rid of all the pests, and timing the watering can also be easily achieved.
But Lolth truly enjoys the process of watering cabbage, potato seedlings, eggplants, and tomato plants in the greenhouse with a watering can.
These vegetables that she was extremely familiar with in her previous life don’t exist in this Otherworld.
The deep abyss is a place where tasty crops can’t grow naturally. After the Demon Army entered the main plane, Lolth discovered that this magical world was very backward in agriculture.
The land is rich in resources, but the crops are different from those on Earth. There are a few similar crops and vegetables, but most are unique.
The familiar figures in this “plant research greenhouse” are the results of Lolth’s years of selecting and nurturing in the Demon Army, even using magic and magic potions to accelerate their growth.
Relying on self-taught nature spells and Otherworld botany, Lolth has almost become half a great druid, even able to teach nature spells and magic potions at the Wizard Association’s Cloud Tower!
Although Otherworld cuisine is good, Lolth sometimes misses the taste of her homeland!
Like today at noon, she plans to let Tina, the Elf Princess, taste the cuisine of her homeland.
This is to reward Tina’s hard work and also to show her that the Demon King’s Castle is a place where labor can create value and earn rewards!
Well, at least in the torture tower it’s like that!
It’s crucial to make the Elf Princess gradually abandon her strange ideas!
Lolth thought about it, after watering, she picked three fresh and green cucumbers, took two shiny purple eggplants, and also plucked a ripe and plump long pumpkin.
“Make a flavored eggplant dish, slice some garlicky cucumbers, and finish with pumpkin porridge… Hmm, all vegetarian, should suit the Elf Princess’s eating habits very well, with a touch of exotic flair!”
She put these vegetables into her harvesting basket, checked the time, and realized that the morning was almost over.
Estimating it, Tina’s cleaning work on the ranch should be nearly completed too.
After all, the grass patches on the ranch were already cleaned by small magical puppets at night, so they wouldn’t be too dirty or messy.
Carrying the basket, Lolth once again arrived at the rooftop large grazing ranch for livestock.
What she saw was Tina, holding a long wooden clamp in one hand, a huge hemp sack in the other, attentively picking up dung, shed fur, and fallen branches and dry grass into the sack.
Her once straight back was now slightly bent, sweat beads on her pale face, light silver hair slightly disheveled, with sleeves and pant legs rolled up, revealing slender legs and wrists.
“It looks like the labor transformation process is very successful!”
Lolth nodded in satisfaction, feeling a strange sense of pleasure in her heart.
“Miss Tina,” she called out to Tina, “you have done a great job cleaning. It’s already noon, you can take a break now.”
Hearing Lolth’s voice coming from the entrance, Tina straightened up and stood.
Seeing the lazy Lolth carrying a basket, Tina nodded as she tied up her bag and said, “Okay, Master Lolth.”
Tina’s feelings were very mixed at the moment.
Hearing Lolth’s praise made her somewhat happy, but then she started to worry about her “soul” being praised by a succubus.
Furthermore, the morning had passed, and she had actually been working diligently at cleaning. Although it wasn’t torture, she felt something was off even though she was feeling lost.
In conclusion, after intense labor, Tina found herself unable to think clearly due to her complex emotions.
She decided to simplify the complicated issues…
It must have been that succubus causing trouble!
Lolth looked at Tina’s face, showing a submissive but slightly embarrassed expression, shaking her head again.
It seems things are not going well!
The road to make this Elf Princess able to communicate properly is still long and difficult.
“Anyway, you take a break first, I will prepare lunch.”
Lolth decided to change the subject, raising the basket in her hand and showing it to Tina.
Tina looked at the basket in Lolth’s hand and noticed some vegetables she had never seen before, her face slightly changed.
She could feel that they were plants.
But she had never seen this type of plant before!
There are still some magical waves lingering above.
“What’s that?”
Tina suppressed her fear and asked.
“These are all vegetables that I have carefully cultivated myself, they are extraordinary,” proud Lolth said, “I will serve them to you this noon… you will experience something like never before!”
Tina listened to Lolth’s words, carefully observing those vegetables.
Dark green cylindrical shapes with slightly raised spikes on the surface!
Dark purple cylindrical shapes, smooth but with a very large head!
Grey-green cylindrical shapes, extremely huge!
They looked very evil in both shape and color.
Especially considering they were specially nurtured by a succubus.
In Tina’s opinion, their purpose was already clear as day!
After showing them to Tina, Lolth glanced at the stunned Tina once more, then turned and left without much thought.
But shortly after she left, a deafening, high-pitched cry erupted again from behind, causing all the animals in the ranch to riot, echoing over the Demon King Castle.
“No – they will die!”
Many Demon Army officers in the Demon King Castle turned their gaze towards the prison tower.
“It’s the elves’ screams…”
“The interrogator’s methods are indeed terrifying!”
“I heard they have extracted intelligence… Is this just pure torture for amusement?”
“Indeed, that succubus is not simple!”
