Episode 66:
Peace!
There were many explanations about reducing the heat in the heart, cooling the head, asking for help with judgment, etc… In short, composure was an essential stat for learning the skills of the East Continent.
After hearing Sioras’ explanation, X felt like his heart was going to explode.
‘So from now on, can I learn and use the skills of the East Continent?’
What kind of windfall is this!
It is a composure that required decades of meditation to achieve even the great Sioras. However, X gained peace day by day by absorbing the energy contained in the 10,000-year coral essence.
Sioras also seemed pleased with X’s performance.
“With your talent and achievements, I think you can immediately pass on the technology of the Eastern Continent. “I’m not particularly good at martial arts, but I’ve learned a lot from looking over my shoulder.”
“Is that really true?”
“That’s right. This was impossible without composure, but now that you have mastered composure, our plans will change considerably! Anyway, congratulations.”
Moreover, rather than promising the future, he could learn the technology of the Eastern Continent from Sioras right away. X felt a thrill that went beyond joy.
‘We’re definitely ahead.’
You have already completed the A-rank quest.
The total number of stats also surpasses level 700.
In fact, X could be said to be overwhelmingly ahead of anyone else, but X was still a man who did not know satisfaction. After gathering his thoughts, X’s eyes became serious.
“If you teach me, I will do my best to learn it. But right now, it would be better to learn the recipes of the king of gourmets than the techniques of the Eastern Continent, right?”
“Yes, I am sure you will do well. “You can start right away.”
“All right.”
The Gourmet King’s second recipe!
The ingredients were incomparable to cave bears. X picked up the mermaid’s scale and the 10,000-year-old coral tree he had taken out. The cooking method that Sioras mentioned was really simple.
“All you have to do is put the mermaid scales at the right temperature and boil them properly.”
What is simple? Simple!
X swallowed deeply. There is a saying that the most difficult thing in the world is to be appropriate. What is the appropriate temperature and what does it mean to boil properly? Unlike X, Sioras was relaxed.
“If you stop being impatient, you will get the hang of it.”
“…all right.”
There must be meaning behind Sioras saying things like that.
X decided not to worry anymore. Even if I ended up failing, it wasn’t difficult to get the mermaid’s scales again. There are still many 10,000-year-old coral trees remaining.
‘Let’s see, it’s boiling properly.’
X told her to do whatever she wanted and put the mermaid’s scales into the boiling water. Then, didn’t a mysterious light flow out of the pot? Sioras nodded with a satisfied face.
“As expected, you did a good job.”
Judging by the reaction, it seems like the timing was just right. Gulp, X swallowed his dry saliva and concentrated. The mermaid’s scales were slowly dissolving in the boiling water.
‘…I really feel like I know for some reason?’
Because X had been constantly cooking, he had intuition. If it had been a complicated recipe, intuition alone would not have been enough, but what I was making now was tea.
Bubbly! As the tea boiled, it released a scent.
Sioras laughed at the enchanting scent.
“It’s a scent that makes me curious about the taste.”
Not only am I curious about the taste, but I am also curious about the effects. X turned off the light and poured tea into a cup. After all the hard work, the Gourmet King’s second recipe was finally completed. X calmed his pounding heart.
And then he put his mouth to the teacup.
“…!!”
A fantasy came to mind.
*
‘Incredible energy!’
As soon as my senses returned, a loud roar pierced my eardrums. A shadow of darkness casting over the horizon! I saw a group of knights armed with black equipment.
A familiar man’s voice continued.
“As expected, they are Kariman’s elite soldiers. Every single thing must be difficult, but this? Rather, where on earth is our lord and what is he doing?”
The man was Kalsumar. Next to the stern Kalsumar was a harsh-looking woman.
The woman pushed up her thick glasses and closed the book.
“Why am I left with a muscle idiot?”
“what? fool?”
“joy. “You said you would come back, so I guess you will come back soon.”
It’s harsh.
X, who was watching the two, tilted his head. The woman’s tone was somehow familiar. But it seemed like I had definitely never seen it. It’s impossible to meet such a beautiful woman and not remember her name.
‘And that’s not the point.’
Coo coo coo coo!
Even in this situation, Kariman’s elite soldiers were closing the distance at a rapid pace. At first glance, the difference in military strength was serious. The troops led by Kalsumar and the woman numbered at most a few hundred, but the enemies seemed closer to ten thousand.
X looked around.
‘The Gourmet King is nowhere to be seen.’
I don’t know where he went in this situation, but the Gourmet King was nowhere to be seen. Kariman’s elite soldiers seemed to be in no condition to accept the situation. The black knight who appeared to be the leader of the group shouted loudly.
“Knights of Kariman, the time has come for revenge!”
“Waaaa!!”
A roar that seems to leave the earth.
However, Kalsumar was calm and the woman just frowned nervously. The same was true for the soldiers they led. It was a fight where defeat seemed obvious, but they showed no fear.
‘…Well, that’s amazing.’
X, who was watching the situation, had no choice but to admit it.
The King of Gourmet was the best in terms of ability.
“If you are pushed back, my lord will help you.”
“Are you already worried about being pushed out? There’s no way the Gourmet King’s detachment would be defeated by those black knight bastards, right? “They’re such cowards.”
Although the Gourmet King was not here, the soldiers were at ease.
That was impossible without trust in one’s master.
The battle has begun.
chin! Kalsumar, who was moving agilely, said.
“It’s a cavalry soldier. “Don’t fight, avoid!”
Most of the Gourmet King’s detachment was infantry. It was impossible to fight head-on with cavalry running at high speed. A woman wearing glasses used magic.
“Let mortals rot and regret.”
“Ugh!”
A wide-range curse spell with excellent effects!
Although the Gourmet King’s soldiers were few in number, they each had outstanding abilities. However, X, who was observing the battle, shook his head.
‘If it’s a long game, there’s no chance of winning.’
There is no business in quantity.
The soldiers, including Kalsumar, were fighting hard, but the difference in troops was extreme. In addition, the combat abilities of Kariman’s elite soldiers were quite outstanding.
“Ugh!”
“Hey are you okay…?”
As time went on, injuries large and small were appearing one after another on the Gourmet King’s side.
Quick! Kalsumar gritted his teeth and struck the cavalry surrounding him with his shield.
I heard him muttering indignantly.
“After all, it was a surprise attack in the wasteland.”
X couldn’t help but agree.
If we use the terrain, we could wait until the Gourmet King arrives. There was nothing visible around. The wasteland environment was just pitiful. However, the corners of X’s mouth, which had a serious expression, began to rise.
‘You’ve finally appeared.’
X, the successor to the Gourmet King, could instinctively feel the Gourmet King’s energy approaching.
Shashak! The gourmet king moved next to Kalsumar in an instant!
It could be said that the match had just begun.
Kalsumar took a deep breath and said.
“The situation is not good.”
“I think so. I should have hurried a little more…”
The Gourmet King bit his lip slightly.
Corpses of soldiers scattered across the wasteland.
Although the battle was fierce, it was a battle for supremacy of the continent. It was natural that there would be casualties. The woman who recognized the Gourmet King spoke.
“It is an inevitable sacrifice.”
“I know. “I’m just a little angry with myself.”
What happened?
X was puzzled. Considering that the Gourmet King was away in this situation, it seemed like there was urgent business. Moreover, judging by the fact that he was angry, it looks like things didn’t go well.
But the Gourmet King was no longer agitated.
“Let’s end this quickly.”
Just the appearance of the Gourmet King changed the atmosphere of the battlefield.
Did the enemy captain also notice the changing atmosphere? He quickly responded with provocation.
“Rejoice, today will be the Gourmet King’s memorial day!”
“Waaaa!!”
X sighed.
‘It won’t be easy, right?’
No matter how much he was the king of gourmet food, his opponent was not easy. Like when he used the bear stance in the past, he could turn the earth upside down. However, the current war situation is a mixture of friendly and enemy forces.
‘Our allies will also suffer damage.’
I didn’t think he would make that judgment.
At that moment, the Gourmet King raised his hand.
Goooooh.
A vast amount of mana began to sway in his hands.
‘Oh, it’s enormous!’
X was beyond shocked. Regardless of any magic, the mana emitted by the Gourmet King was beyond common sense. A haze of evaporating mana rose around him.
‘At this rate, I’m sure I’ll be swept away, right?’
Maybe that’s the skill I’ll get this time.
Normally, I would have had high expectations, but I didn’t even think about it now. The destructive power of magic that requires enormous amounts of mana would be terrifying. Does the Gourmet King plan to wipe out the enemy army along with his allies? At a time when X was doubtful.
The Gourmet King shouted.
“The judgment of the sea god.”
The judgment of the sea god!
Unlike Bear Stance, it was a skill with a grandiose name.
As soon as the Gourmet King shouted, the wasteland began to tremble. In an instant, the surroundings became dark.
‘…tide?’
You can see waves so big that they block the sunlight.
A wave had been summoned to the wasteland out of nowhere.
Shoot! The judgment of the ultra-wide magic sea god! The momentum of the wave summoned by the Gourmet King was unstoppable.
At this rate, it seemed that not only the allies and enemies, but even the Gourmet King would be swallowed up by the waves.
‘It’s true that it’s a quick decision, but…?’
Isn’t this how we all die?
Quaaaaa!
Huge waves covered the wasteland. It was filled with the screams of enemies.
Since X was seeing a fantasy, of course he didn’t get wet or suffer any damage. But it was strange.
‘…what?’
As you can see, the enemies were crushed by the waves and became leaders. But somehow the Gourmet King’s soldiers were fine. In addition to being fine, the wounds of the soldiers who had been fatally injured just now were completely healed. X stuttered.
‘…Can you possibly distinguish between allies and enemies?’
X’s guess was correct.
The judgment of the sea god.
Mercy for our allies and judgment for our enemies! A deceptive effect that can be used as an ultra-wide-area attack spell and an ultra-wide-area recovery spell at the same time! It was said to require a large amount of mana, but considering its performance, it was naturally a surplus business. Sigh. I can’t help but laugh.
X opened his mouth quietly.
“oh my god.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
