Chapter 1339: Cooking a Special Meal

Since the badge system judged that he had obtained the information and gave a hint that his resistance had increased, then Lord Taurus's guess was correct. The Star Palace indeed had an influence on the user's "tendencies."

Looking at Lord Taurus, who looked kind in front of him, Li Ang nodded hard and then thanked her sincerely.

"I've remembered it, thank you for the reminder, Lord Taurus."

"Hehe, no need to be so formal."

After smiling kindly, Lord Taurus said gently:

"At my age, I'm already much older than your grandmother. For a little guy like you, I have always looked at you as my own child. And I am about to step down as director, so don't call me 'Lord' or anything like that anymore; it sounds too distant."

"Ah, okay!"

After responding, Li Ang and the Red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but look at each other, and at the same time, they saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

Compared to before, after Lord Taurus ascended, she seemed less serious and much more cheerful and easygoing... So is it because she is about to step down and starting to separate from the Star Palace, so the influence she receives has decreased?

"By the way, Olivia."

While Li Ang and the Red-haired Bureau Chief were exchanging glances, Lord Taurus suddenly became serious, then said earnestly:

"Andrew asked me to tell you and Li Ang that when Aquarius attacked your Virgo Branch, he chose to sacrifice you and didn't go to support you as promised. For this, he feels very sorry."

Tsk...

Hearing Lord Taurus's words, the corners of the Red-haired Bureau Chief's and Li Ang's mouths twitched slightly. While remaining calm on the surface, they both revealed a trace of disgust in their eyes.

Such a big thing, and it's over with just a verbal apology? And he didn't even come over to apologize himself, but had to have Lord Taurus relay it? Is this the attitude of an apology? That old guy has absolutely no sincerity...

"As compensation, he will go to the Wine God to make a deal and give you a batch of the best wine, and one bottle will be sent over every week from now on, until he dies."

Hiss...

"As for Li Ang, besides teaching you the Sagittarius secret art wholeheartedly, he also sacrificed his lifespan to use two prayer-type anomalous objects to help you find the locations of the remaining parts of that big demon. I estimate that it won't be long before you can collect them all."

Ah, this...

"And besides you two, the rest of the Virgo Branch members also have their own compensation. At the very least, it's an anomalous object that is suitable for them... How about it? Are you satisfied with this compensation?"

"Oh my! What compensation!"

After licking the corner of her mouth, the Red-haired Bureau Chief waved her hand with a smile:

"Although what happened was indeed not very decent, Lord Sagittarius didn't have any selfish motives, so it's understandable, understandable!"

"Indeed, we have already felt the sincerity of Lord Sagittarius's apology."

You two are really...

Looking at the two people whose attitudes had suddenly reversed, Lord Taurus couldn't help but shake her head, then said seriously:

"Since you are satisfied, I won't defend Andrew anymore. But I still hope you know that part of the reason he made that choice was indeed because he was influenced by the Star Palace."

"And his application to replace Cancer and go to the abyss to suppress demons is also in the hope of correcting some of those not-so-good influences through this process. So I still hope you don't hold too much of a grudge against him... Hm... That's all about Andrew. Next, it's your turn."

Speaking of this, Lord Taurus's expression softened again, and she looked at Li Ang and joked:

"As a talent who was selected by five palaces at the same time and will start as one of the twelve directors in the future, I have to take advantage of the fact that you haven't become a big shot yet to butter you up... Since I have time now, Li Ang, do you want to accept my guidance first and learn the Taurus Palace's anomalous forging secret art from me?"

This... I'm simply begging for this! Hehe, although he looks a bit led astray by Olivia, he is still a good child in essence.

Looking at Li Ang, who had agreed without hesitation and was waiting expectantly for "class," Lord Taurus, with a smile in her eyes, waved her hand to create a large table, then took out a large amount of materials for practice and placed them on it, then greeted:

"Come on, you try forging with these first, let me see how much progress you've made!"

"Okay!"

Under Lord Taurus's encouraging gaze, Li Ang, as a "Five-Palace Certified" secret art genius, felt his confidence increase greatly. He took out a large rusty iron pot from the Mirror World, set it up, and then took out two old thermos bottles, starting to pour water into the pot with a gurgling sound.

Hm? This method, rather than being rough, is completely messing around... why does it look a bit familiar?

Looking at the rusty iron pot Li Ang took out, Lord Taurus, who was preparing to take out her own forging tools, was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"Li Ang, what's with this pot?"

"It was taught by the third-generation Bureau Chief!"

Although that square-headed old man had once threatened him not to tell anyone about learning forging from him.

But Lord Taurus was not a big-mouthed person, and even if he didn't say it, she should be able to see it. Li Ang didn't hide it, but while stirring the water in the iron pot, he relayed:

"Before, the third-generation Lord told me that there's no need to care too much about the quality of the forging tools, because the source of anomalies is emotion, obsession, and expectation. Ultimately, it is the power of the heart, and the heart has no 'standard answer'."

"So as long as the heart for forging is strong enough, and the materials used can meet the standard, then even with a large iron pot and boiled water, one can forge the top-tier anomalous objects!"

Emotion, heart, obsession... that damn old... senior, is he starting to preach his set of destructive ideas again? And he even fooled Li Ang with it?

After listening to the absurd philosophy Li Ang stated with conviction, even someone as good-tempered as Lord Taurus couldn't help but have blue veins throbbing, then forced a smile:

"That... is also fine. Anyway, we haven't officially started learning yet. You try forging one first, let me see your progress."

"Okay!"

Flipping through the materials on the table, Li Ang found the two 【Demon】 series materials he was best at. Feeling the intimacy of the materials merging, Li, the genius, took a deep breath and said quite confidently:

"I actually have a premonition that this time it might really work!"

【Name: Wombat Golem (Fallen, Cursed)】

【Appearance: A small animal statue with a short nose, small eyes, pointed ears, and a face similar to a rodent. If you approach it after it is full, you will hear a sound of intermittent panting as if it is exerting force】

【Ability: Demon Chrysanthemum, Square Curse】

【Price: After using this anomalous object, there is a high probability of constipation during the next excretion】

【File: Secret art successor Li Ang, a special anomalous object forged by collecting two secret arts of the Cleanup Bureau, using the privateer demon's pouch, and the flesh and blood of a certain bear-like demon.】

【After this anomalous object is activated, all creatures that have looked directly at this strange statue will excrete square-shaped feces with sharp corners during their next excretion activity】

【Evaluation: Hum! Hum! Hum! Ah ah ah ah!!!】

【Infection Value: 0.1 (Maximum Infection Value 9)】
