Chapter 64: The Power of Legend Upper Level! Failure of Space Magic Array!

Free things are always the most attractive.

After Lolth’s broadcast, the residents of Hillenbrand Town quickly gathered from all directions, even faster than when Lolth made the declaration in the morning!

After all, everyone was worried that they would miss out if they arrived late.

However, Lolth made sure that everyone got a fair share of the huge fish, totaling over 150 pounds. With rice and side dishes, everyone was guaranteed a satisfying meal.

So, with Tina’s help, a long line quickly formed, and each person received a free bowl of fish soup.

Later, the square echoed with simple praises from the people.

"This taste… is so magical!"

"My tongue hurts, but it’s delicious!"

"Why is this red soup so sweet and sour?"

"What is this soft texture?"

"I’ve never tasted anything like this… Is this Abyss cuisine?"

"This is even better than what nobles eat!"

"After eating, I feel all warm and cozy!"

"And I don’t feel tired at all!"

"Oh yes, I am even getting more energized!"

As expected by Lolth, the sour pickled fish and tomato fish quickly captivated everyone present!

The bright red color and exciting taste were enough to astonish the ordinary people of the Otherworld who were only used to basic seasoning like salt!

Cheers echoed through the square, making Lolth very happy.

"Indeed, my cooking skills are as impressive as ever!"

As a seasoned cook, her confidence mainly stemmed from her cooking abilities!

This was the skill she had honed and perfected the most over the ten years spent in the Otherworld!

After all, interest is the best teacher.

Learning other skills, many are just to make better dishes!

After sharing the last fish soup happily, Lolth tapped on the empty iron bucket and loudly announced.

"Residents of Hillenbrand Town, I will also open a lord’s restaurant in the south in the future, and everyone is welcome to come and dine… Of course, some special ingredients and seasonings will be sold later, because in the south, I will establish venues for planting and breeding these special ingredients!"

"Of course, residents who want to try planting new crops and breeding new livestock can also purchase seeds and accompanying planting techniques at the lord’s farm in the south!"

Lolth also quickly took the opportunity to increase everyone’s recognition of her new project.

The residents who were initially skeptical naturally became more optimistic.

"Truly generous Lord!"

"I wonder how the yield of these crops we’ve never seen before will be…"

"Maybe next planting season, we can try to grow some!"

"A restaurant… does this mean we can eat these new and delicious dishes every day?"

"We can even plant and cook by ourselves!"

In the eyes of the residents of Hillenbrand Town, the lord from the abyss issued very good decrees on her first day in office, treated everyone to food at night, and even taught everyone the cultivation methods of these precious crops, instead of keeping them to herself. She truly was like a beloved lord who cared for her people!

Except for the onlooker residents, the landlady, Maider, and Ann noticed something different.

"There’s magic in this bowl of fish soup… the effects can rival a weak Stamina Recovery Magic Potion…"

Uncle Maider mumbled after taking a sip of tomato fish soup.

Ann nodded silently and said, "It’s truly amazing… Is this the technology of the Abyssal Demon?"

The two looked at the landlady, who hadn’t tasted the fish soup but just rolled her eyes.

"So I guess I’ve become an encyclopedia, right? But I’m not sure how she does it. I can kind of guess that she must have bred ingredients with the properties of the Magic Potion, which can be consumed directly or used in cooking without the need to mix with magic. The fish is normal, but the new vegetables and meat around contain a faint, active magic that can directly affect the body – well, it’s not really new, there are similar things on the continent, you just didn’t know about it."

The landlady said this, Maider and Ann nodded as if they understood but not really.

However, the landlady didn’t tell the whole story.

That is… from what she knows, there are only about five similar things on the continent.

Eden’s Golden Apple, Frost Sanctuary’s White Frost Flower…

All of them are gifts from the gods known as "miracles."

"Looks like I underestimated you too…"

The landlady sighed softly.

Of course, Tina and Isabella, who came from the small town to the south, have long discovered the magic properties in food, so they were not surprised by any of this.

However, both of them had deeper guesses about why Lolth was giving out fish soup to the residents.

"Is this Master Lolth’s ability to win people’s hearts, by making everyone taste such delicious and magical dishes, they naturally look down on ordinary crops and can only grow Master Lolth’s new crop varieties!"

"In this way, all the residents will be dependent on Master Lolth! They will definitely be fanatically loyal to Master Lolth!"

While distributing the fish soup, Tina made her own deduction!

"It’s truly wicked and ingenious, Master Lolth, is this your plan! Truly worthy of being a great being who can freely control people’s hearts and play with souls!"

"I must work hard to assist Master Lolth’s plan to be successfully implemented!"

Compared to Tina’s deduction, the knight Isabella, who doesn’t understand magic and Magic Potions well, felt the magical power of the fish soup in her hands and came to a more simplistic and direct conclusion.

"I understand!"

"Besides restoring physical strength, these magical powers must also have a hidden effect of corrupting the soul!"

"That’s why the succubus kept cooking for me and Tina all the time! And she’s trying to make the residents grow her evil crops!"

"That’s why we fell without even realizing it!"

"Darn, we need to figure out a way to stop her plan!"

Meanwhile, Lolth stood not far away from the two, completely unaware of what the two were imagining and deciding on without her knowledge, just like before.

Even if she did notice, the current Lolth had no time to care.

Because just now, she sensed something…

The alarm she added to the array this afternoon has been triggered now!

There’s at least Legend Upper Level power erupting from near the torture tower in the northeast of the town!

It even blew up a Space Magic Array in a chain reaction!
