Chapter 123: Hehehe, Monster Girl, My Monster Girl
"Purifying Ether to use as energy? Heh, what a bold idea." Lucy, who had been listening to the conversation between the few of them the whole time, commented at this moment.
"The Orc Federation. The Magic Energy there feels quite interesting." Yun Mu looked at Brenna and asked, "Since the types of Ether in the Orc Federation are unusually monotonous, will it have any effect on ordinary Transcendental who go there?"
"Not at all." Brenna sat on the chair in front of the dining table and replied, "They just won't be able to advance."
"Well," she paused, looked into Yun Mu's eyes, and said, "I advise you not to be too curious about that place."
"So-called prosperity is merely a facade; that country, oh no, that Federation, has long since been eroded to the bone by Darkness."
"Compared to those councilors and corporate giants of the Federation, even goblins would seem much cuter."
Councilors, corporate giants, Federation—how do these words sound so strange?
Is this not a fantasy world she transmigrated into? Yun Mu twitched the corner of her mouth and complained in her heart.
"Speaking of which, what do Beastkin look like? Is the difference from humans very large?" Yun Mu thought of something and asked Brenna curiously.
In this world, including her predecessor, she had never seen a Beastkin.
I wonder if they are green-skinned orcs, or that type of Monster girl... Hehehe, Monster girl, my Monster girl... *Cough cough*.
She, she, she, she definitely doesn't like Monster girls! She's just a little curious!
"They look about the same as humans on the outside, only they have extra animal organs depending on their species, just like those humans who have mastered the animal domain."
Brenna explained to her, "According to various ancient books and legends, there were originally no Beastkin in the world."
"Until..." Her tone shifted, as if she were reciting the contents of a book:
"Lutak, God of Nature, taught humans the knowledge of farming and used divine power to transform a human woman into a deity, making her manage the Harvest of all crops."
"This deity was called Pamela, the Goddess of Sowing and Harvest."
"Pamela fell in love with a human man and gave birth to a son, the demigod Robert, who, due to his naturally strong Desire... uh."
Brenna rubbed her forehead and did not continue.
But Yun Mu already understood.
Good grief, so that's how Beastkin were born; that is too (un)reasonable.
Because he is a demigod, he can ignore reproductive isolation?
Speaking of which, usually these things depend on the mother, right? A human male and a female dragon should logically produce a Dragon Egg!
What hatches from that Dragon Egg should be a dragon, not a human!
No, why would she assume that the current God of Beastkin, Robert, is male?
Just because of the other party's name? No, no, no, Brenna just said "gave birth to a son," not "gave birth to a daughter," so it should mean male.
When it comes down to it, do deities have genders?
Could it be that they can be either male or female? Yun Mu's thoughts wandered further and further, until a pungent fragrance rushed into her nasal cavity.
*Sniff sniff. *
"Wow, (╯▽╰) so fragrant~~"
She subconsciously sniffed her nose, then looked in the direction the fragrance was coming from.
She saw Elena holding a table knife, skillfully cutting open the cross-section of a piece of naan bread, and placing a large amount of rotating roasted meat, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves inside.
Finally, she skillfully sprinkled black pepper over the filling.
"What is this?" Brenna, who was on the side, looked at the scene before her and said.
"It is a pocket pita," Elena replied concisely.
"Pocket pita?" Brenna tilted her head; she searched through her memory, but it seemed she had never heard of this food.
"It is normal that you do not know, because this is also food that came from the Federation," Elena said.
After a brief pause, she added, "It is just that I improved it slightly; it should be more to your taste."
"There was no need to improve it for that... otherwise, what difference would it have from what I usually eat?" Brenna tilted her head slightly and lay her upper body on the dining table.
After finishing her sentence, she looked at the pocket pita on the plate, feeling she didn't know where to start. "You eat this by holding it with your hands," Elena reminded her.
"Watch out for the grease."
"I, of course I know that!" Brenna, who was lying on the table, blushed and straightened her body again.
"These two have a very good relationship."
Feeling that she was a bit redundant, Yun Mu thought as she watched the two interacting.
Rather than a guard, she felt Elena was more like Brenna's personal maid—she could cook, knew the etiquette for interacting with nobles, and even knew Dance.
Speaking of which, weren't there other Shadow Guards? Who was it that tried to eavesdrop when she and Brenna entered the Dream World last time?
Writing her question with her finger under the dining table, Yun Mu asked Lucy.
"It was a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty-eight years old, with short brown hair, black pupils, and a relatively thin face," Lucy said in her ear.
"Just be a little careful; you won't be able to explain how you know."
"I suppose so..." Yun Mu responded in agreement.
She picked up the pocket pita from the plate and took a light bite.
"Mmm... this taste!"
The faint wheat aroma of the naan bread was released in her mouth, mixed with the grease exuded from the roasted meat; the crisp lettuce and tomato slices, while cutting through the greasiness, also brought the richness of the flavor to a higher level.
And within this, there was an extremely faint spiciness hidden, along with an indescribable sweetness.
It's onion, she added onion! "*Gulp. *"
A sound of swallowing saliva reached Yun Mu's ear; this was obviously Lucy... wait, isn't Lucy an Ether Body right now? How could she subconsciously make this sound!
"*Cough cough. *"
Cough your head!
If you want to eat, just say so, you idiot! Rubbing her forehead, she took a blank card from her bosom and pushed it onto the dining table.
This action successfully attracted the attention of the other two.
"I think this pita bread is delicious; may I take a few to share with my friends?" Yun Mu asked softly, pressing her finger onto the card.
"Of course you can. There's so much, we couldn't finish it anyway," Brenna said, waving her hand casually.
What about the chef?
Yun Mu looked toward Elena.
"The Princess's will is my will," Elena said softly after noticing Yun Mu's gaze.
"Many thanks."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Yun Mu expressed her thanks.
She injected Spirituality into the card, and very quickly, she Encapsulated three pieces of pita bread into the card.
On the previously empty card, the image of three stacked pieces of pita bread gradually appeared.
"By the way, if food is used as a material, what kind of effect would a painting created from it have?" Yun Mu wondered aloud, looking at the pita bread pattern that had appeared on the card.
PS: In the setting, the dietary habits of the Frost Kingdom and the Heling Empire lean towards those of England and France.
As for the Orc Federation, perhaps something like Indonesia? Ahem, it's a fictional world, so it's reasonable for any kind of cuisine to appear, right? (Dog head)
Besides that, there are many maps! The ones already set include the Frost Kingdom, Shattered Star Sea, Exile Sea, Dixia Shijie, Orc Federation, Aifolisa (Elf Empire), Liedisi (Dwarf Empire), Ruiswaer (Desert Empire), and the Masaeli Diguo (Dixia Shijie Insectoid Empire).
That's right, I'm just drawing cakes! — My fever hasn't gone down yet, and plus, with the launch on the 7th of this month, I don't have full attendance anyway.
I don't feel much motivation. It's already this late.
Anyway, *sob sob sob*~ (End of chapter)
