Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 85. The Night Before the Storm

Trump Tower in the heart of Lucky Land, on the day of the Continental Congress.

“Taemin.”

I turned my head at the familiar voice.

“Ah, lord.”

Charangi was Cecil, the lord of Salem, who was characterized by red hair.

When the lord calls the summoner ‘Taemin’, what will the other lords say?

I forced a smile.

“It’s finally starting. Is that one of your companions okay?”

“Why are you alone? There’s a knight commander behind you.”

I also met and talked with her last night with the president of Lucky Land, the lord of Pelonia.

It was to match the words before the meeting started.

It was a kind of preliminary work to bring the cause together at the meeting starting today, but from my point of view, who is not familiar with politics, my head hurt.

“Still, filling in five…”

“Then Taemin-ssi, please call more from your colleagues.”

“Yes?”

“I can’t help it. It’s because I don’t have enough people I can trust. Salem… You know.”

Salem is a beginner area.

It means that at the meeting held because of the demonic invasion, you have to mobilize low-level adventurers to become good prey for other lords to attack.

Not all lords and kings are friendly to other lords.

‘That’s why I chose to be the leader of the knights…’

My level should be sufficient.

However, it can’t be helped that we look shabby.

‘But like the lord said, I can’t call her colleagues here…’

Especially Melissa, that guy is absolutely not allowed.

Cecil whispered to me last night,

“Taemin helps me a lot during the meeting. There must be many lords who ignore me just because our territory is Salem.”

They say

.

I don’t know how I can help.

When else do you get angry about doing business in Felon, not Salem?

Anyway, those in power do as they please.

“hahahaha. Were they gathered here?”

“Ah, welcome. I was not in a hurry yesterday so I couldn’t greet you. Thank you again for the last time.”

“Well, I’m glad you’re safe. Those criminals will be put on trial sooner or later, so don’t worry. Other than that, when are you planning on cooking again?”

“hahahaha… That’s when the time comes…”

“Hmm, what a pity.”

The lord of Pelonia also appeared.

It still has a great appearance.

Her swollen belly looks like she’s pregnant.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Mr. Taemin.”

“Ah… Yes. Mr. Everett is here too.”

Everett Lowell greeted me.

As a companion of Lord Pelonia, I heard that he will also attend this meeting.

Not only that, other guild heads also greeted me.

“Are you that famous chef?”

“Ah… Yes. Excuse me… Who…?”

“I am Daesan Kang, the guild master of Demon Slash. Nice to meet you.”

He was a man with a sense of intimidation, from his facial features to his expressions.

Are you in your early 30s?

Although there is no official ranking, in fact, this man is the representative of the current top guild in the world.

‘Besides…’

A dark red aura that rises from the whole body.

Proof that you are equipped with the full set of Abyss Legendary.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jeon Tae-min.”

“Sorry for the first meeting, but I only ask one question.”

“Yes?”

“Are you already holding hands with that other side?”

“What is that…”

“I’m asking if you joined hands with slime. Your cooking is popular.”

To ask such an open question, with Everett Lowell watching right beside you?

I was able to get a general idea of Kang Dae-san’s personality.

He was polite, but he didn’t use honorifics.

It wasn’t specifically about me, and I used a similar tone and vocabulary to the lords.

It seems to be a bit contradictory, but anyway, my first impression of Kangdaesan was a little unfavorable.

From noble mtl dot com

“I don’t know what you mean by asking, but I have no intention of belonging to a specific guild yet.”

“I see. Then I’ll ask you one more question.”

“Yes.”

“Is there a reason you don’t want to sell food only to our guild?”

What is this again?

“Don’t you think so? Not yet.”

“I see. I understand. Oh, I also ate that dish called tacos. The taste is delicious, but the effect is amazing. Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Ah… Yes…”

As soon as the conversation with me was over, he strode away, leaned against one of the walls, and started looking around the hall.

However, there were more people who could not take their eyes off him.

It could be because of the power and status of his guild, or it could be because of the equipment he is wearing.

Even I came wearing a suit Cassie, but he’s ready to run out and tear the Abyss monster in two.

‘Still, if a person like that is in the party, the party members will be very reassuring, right?’

Even while I was thinking about that, people were constantly pouring into the hall.

Starting with the lord of any place, his companions.

And around the end, even characters whose faces could not be easily seen appeared.

In fact, the actual protagonists whose names have only been heard through in-game settings so far.

“It’s the King of Heroes!”

“That person?”

“I see…”

The King of Heroes, who was said to have defeated the great devil of hell in the past, came.

White hair, white eyebrows, and even a white beard.

An old man who looked trustworthy even though he was 100 years old appeared in dazzlingly white armor and with a famous sword at his waist.

‘Is that Excalibur, an Epic level one-handed sword that surpasses Legendary?’

At one point, there was an argument in the community about how to acquire that sword.

The conclusion was an absurd story that he would have to marry the daughter of the King of Heroes, but looking at it now, it doesn’t seem that wrong.

Because the King of Heroes was followed by a beautiful knight.

After that, handsome male knights also joined, and they all seemed to be the sons and daughters of the King of Heroes.

After the entrance of the kingdom of Tania, the country of heroes, the kings of various countries followed.

At a cursory glance, knights and wizards of great skill were accompanying them, and occasionally players could be seen.

‘I’ve heard that there are people who are only active on the side of the kingdom…’

It seems that there are people who have built a friendship with the king and occupied a position.

It shouldn’t have been difficult to make a favorable impression, but it seems that each person really has a different way to play.

As the number of players in the kingdom route is small, there will be many restrictions on the supply and demand of potions and item trading.

Of course, it would be difficult to organize a party.

It was the first time I saw them, but I could feel the respect.

‘Next…’

Then another notable presence gracefully walked in from beyond the door.

‘Elf…’

The king of Elfria, the fairy kingdom.

The high elf ‘Eniaos Cloudgan’ took people’s attention in an instant.

‘Wow… I thought that only existed in real settings…’

It was a bit disappointing that the king of Elfria was a man, but a female elf with super-beautiful beauty followed suit.

However, everyone’s eyes weren’t serious.

It was set that he was famous for his hatred of humans, and his extreme hatred of summoners in particular.

Our eyes met for a moment, but I thought he was swearing at me with his eyes.

‘I want to go there, but…’

Basically, to use the portal to Elfria, you must clear a special quest.

I heard that even after going through that process and finally arriving, it would take a lot of hardship and adversity to be recognized by the elves.

Even if you build good feelings like that, there is no special benefit, so I remember hearing that very few players entered Elfria unless they were obstinate quest addicts or elf otaku.

At this point in time when clearing dungeons and surviving are important for returning, few people would do such idle things.

Following Elfria, the two countries in the northeastern part of the continent, which were at war in the middle of the war, entered the scene roaring at each other.

Even the current ruler of Desert Punk, the land of outlaws at the far south, has appeared.

‘Are they all accompanied by players only?’

For players who stay in the country of outlaws, it is obvious.

It’s natural to play bad manners, either a cheater, a PK criminal, or both.

I don’t know if it was an anonymous game at the time, but seeing as it continues to do that even after coming this far, there is a high probability that it was trash from birth.

I raised my guard and tried to remember their faces.

Because they’re the ones we need to be most careful with.

‘By the way…’

One or two could make excuses to fall in, but seeing that even the leader of the Desert Punk with a bounty of billions of gold appeared, I was able to realize that this Continental Congress was not just an event in name.

“The priests!”

“Ohh!”

The land where the gods last descended.

The priests and priests who protect the holy land entered, and all the people who were to attend today’s meeting were seated in the hall.

‘Is this finally the beginning?’

Mr. Pierre, standing on the podium just in time, started talking with the help of a magic loudspeaker.

“Ah, nice to meet you guys. My name is Pierre Lucky Seven, the president of Lucky Land. Everyone, please take your assigned seats.”

The atmosphere in the hall, which had been chaotic, was enveloped in silence in an instant.

“Then, I wish everyone here good luck, and I will declare that the Continental Congress has begun.”

Pierre did not shout loudly.

Because that’s not the case.

Because it is a place to defend the continent against the invasion of demons.

“First of all, please take a look at the scroll placed in front of each of you. As we announced in advance, why we are here and why we are holding the Continental Congress. Its outline and what we want to discuss at this meeting are written there. I’ll give you a minute, so if you have any objections or something you’d like to add to the meeting, please raise your hand.”

So, in a slightly different way from what I had imagined, the Continental Congress was about to start quietly.

But.

“I object!”

To say that it was going to start quietly is to cancel it.

Because there was someone who bet on death from the beginning.
