Chapter 216: Is This Really Eight Years Old?

After speaking as if she were a master, Lolth turned and departed from the Golden Peacock Kingdom’s special interrogation room.

She felt extremely excited, even bouncing with enthusiasm as she left the interrogation chamber.

Afterward, Lolth decided to return to her office to meticulously craft a teaching plan for Dorothy.

Although Lolth has taught Kanor some of her culinary skills, it appears that Kanor has genuinely fallen in love with cooking now.

But to Lolth, Kanor is primarily learning extraordinary powers from her, so her main focus must still remain on those powers.

Lolth must fully respect the wishes of each of her students.

Even if Dorothy’s talent in cooking may not be as great as Kanor’s, if she desires to learn about cooking, Lolth will gladly share all her knowledge about it and related subjects.

This will truly benefit her as well.

Even though her curse has not been lifted, as long as she can cultivate these ingredients and recreate tonight’s dish, for Dorothy, it means she can live, enjoy, and embrace this world like a normal person, even with the curse still present.

Moreover, extraordinary cooking is merely the first step for her to accept this world.

Lolth hopes that she will not only use cooking to obtain a “ticket to enjoy life” but also view cooking itself as a form of enjoyment.

Therefore, she should teach both extraordinary cooking and regular cooking, as well as how to cultivate ingredients for cooking; that is what makes it complete!

After Lolth departed, Dorothy felt somewhat confused in the interrogation room.

“Why the kitchen?”

“Why do we have to go to the kitchen to learn extraordinary powers?”

Although Dorothy felt grateful and warmth towards Lolth, she remained puzzled by her actions.

This confusion was something even Tina and Isabella could not explain.

“I believe Master Lolth has her own profound reasons for doing this. You will understand when you arrive at the kitchen tomorrow.”

“Yes, Lolthlinda always has various actions that seem unclear initially, but actually contain deep meanings… You simply need to follow along.”

The two of them spoke to Dorothy from the side.

Only Kanor, after some contemplation, spoke up with uncertainty.

“Um, you are Lady Dorothy, correct? I am also a student of Master Lolth, Kanor Fuen… I might have a conjecture about your confusion.”

Seeing Kanor speak, Dorothy was somewhat surprised.

She had not expected that this seemingly ordinary eight-year-old girl was actually a student of Lolth.

“So, you are my senior sister.”

“No, I learned cooking with Master Lolth, we learned something different,” Kanor placed the fruit cake on the table, not directly sharing her conjecture, “You should try the fruit cake I made first.”

Dorothy looked slightly doubtful, but still picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Similarly, she detected a faint magical wave from this piece of fruit cake!

“This… feels identical to the stew from earlier!”

Dorothy exclaimed in shock.

Seeing Dorothy’s reaction, Kanor nodded slightly and said:

“Lady Dorothy, although I initially wanted to learn cooking, do you know… Master Lolth didn’t allow me into the kitchen at first; instead, she made me learn a great deal of extraordinary knowledge.”

Kanor said this with a serious expression.

“In Master Lolth’s view, cooking is intimately connected to extraordinary powers… Unlike chefs from all the continents on the main plane, Master Lolth’s cooking and her perspective on chefs can even be regarded as a seventh extraordinary profession,” Kanor said, her tone revealing some admiration, “I initially thought Master Lolth taught me extraordinary powers merely to help me become an Itinerant Chef for self-protection… but later I realized that Master Lolth’s purpose extended far beyond that! In many recipes, extraordinary powers also play a significant role!”

“I completely concur. Cooking with Divine Artifact-level magic tools and inventing magic devices for cooking, these two are both extraordinary…”

The turtle, perched on her hat, remarked this, making Dorothy slightly surprised.

However, she wasn’t startled, as she considered herself a semi-expert on magical creatures, having communicated with them quite extensively.

“Be quiet, I’m having a conversation with my future classmate,” Kanor interrupted the turtle’s comment, tapped on its shell, and continued speaking to Dorothy, “Today, when I observed Master Lolth calling you to the kitchen, I finally understood the deeper meaning behind Master Lolth wanting me to learn extraordinary powers and continue training with them…”

“What is it?”

Dorothy couldn’t help but inquire.

“Lady Dorothy, you have studied some extraordinary powers before, haven’t you?”

Kanor looked at Dorothy and asked.

Dorothy nodded and replied, “I learned some warlock spells.”

“That’s correct… because cooking and extraordinary powers are connected in Master Lolth’s system. Master Lolth is both a great chef and a powerful Superoperator, so she comprehends one thing clearly,” Kanor said seriously, “and that is, whether learning to cook or extraordinary powers… you cannot rush it.”

Kanor also took a piece of fruit cake, took a small bite, and looked at Dorothy, who seemed to understand her words, and continued to speak.

“Lady Dorothy, what are you studying extraordinary powers for?”

“To save my mother and to get revenge on Aunt Maria and the person who put my mother to sleep.”

Dorothy said without hesitation.

“That’s right. I believe Master Lolth must have perceived your thoughts and intentionally made you learn cooking first. This is to establish a foundation for learning extraordinary powers and also to help you calm your mind, allowing you to progress further on your path.”

Kanor analyzed clearly.

Dorothy looked at the eight-year-old girl and displayed a look of being instructed.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Kanor.”

“Let’s omit the ‘senior sister’—it feels somewhat strange,” Kanor said as she adjusted the turtle resting on her head. “Anyway, take your time with the fruit cake… I need to go practice!”

She turned and exited the interrogation room, and the turtle on her head made a sound of admiration.

“I thought you would weep because Master Lolth took a new student and you felt excluded, but you are truly a gracious little one!”

“Neither Master Lolth nor I are as petty as you imagine.”

Kanor said this as she tapped on its shell.

Also feeling surprised and amazed were Tina and Isabella, who had witnessed the entire process.

“I must admit, I truly don’t know enough about Lady Lolth…”

Looking at the amazed Tina and then at the thoughtful Dorothy, she finally spoke up.

“Tina, how old is this little girl?”

“Dorothy? She appears to be around fifteen or sixteen… I never asked, but the Golden Peacock Princess should be about that age… You should know better than I do.”

“No,” Isabella shook her head, “I mean… Kanor.”

“Isn’t that more obvious? She’s eight years old,” Tina replied even more curiously.

“Of course I know, but… is she really just eight?”

Isabella looked at Kanor’s back and posed a profound question.
