Episode 88. What is this scent?

Perhaps because the contract was written, the meeting went on a different pace than the first.

The king and the lords decided to set out to find out the demons’ movement with a strong reward, not the ambiguous reward they had offered up until now.

It was decided to issue a request directly to the best adventurers staying in each region.

For example, powerful people who come and go in the Abyss, such as Demon Slash and Angelic Slime.

If you entrust them with a dungeon investigation request that is one level lower in nightmare difficulty, they will show completely different results than before.

Middle and upper level adventurer parties who used to frequent Nightmare Dungeons will be more active in collecting information as the rewards increase.

Masters from various guilds, who participated as companions of each lord, agreed to this, and the matter quickly moved on to the next one.

“Even demons can’t attack all areas at the same time.”

“That’s right. If the territory they’re trying to invade is revealed through the investigation, other territories will have to switch from defense to support the other territories.”

“However, if the information is incorrect… Wouldn’t it cause enormous damage to the territory that turned to support?”

“Hmm… Indeed…”

“Until there is a clear guarantee that demons will not invade our territory, we cannot afford to pay attention to other regions. Please understand.”

“It’s the same with our territory.”

The problem was this part.

No matter how much information you can collect and predict the movement of demons, any territory must be prepared for an emergency.

If the worst case occurs when you reluctantly turn to support in other regions and your own territory is suddenly attacked, there is nothing more foolish than that.

At least, a large estate like Felonia is fine.

Because it is the region where the most excellent players who come and go to the Abyss stay, and the skill of its own knights is also one of the strongest.

The problem is a low-level territory like Bramha.

The reality was that these areas could not survive without the help of high-level players and other territories, no matter how thoroughly they prepared in advance.

How could the people who hunted in the orc field deal with the demons that jumped out of the Nightmare difficulty dungeon?

Lord Bramha and many other lords in similar situations began to tremble with great anxiety.

“If our territory is destroyed, the aftermath will eventually reach the upper regions. New adventurers will not be able to grow, so in the end…”

“We definitely need your support too!”

“What are we, our bramhas supposed to do!? The Master of Demon Slash didn’t do that! Pixels… The invasion against the pixels will be certain! I’ll give you anything, everything, please. Can’t you protect me!?”

However, the lords of other regions simply rolled their eyes and turned away.

Everyone’s most urgent thing was to protect their territory.

“This, this, the current lords are just cowards.”

The King of Heroes opened his mouth.

“Didn’t that man just say that? If it’s difficult, you can hire summoners. Whatever you do, just endure for a day! Wipe out the demons that are flooding into my kingdom of Tania, and send support to your territory. I’ll go.”

Is it true that he has defeated the great devil of hell?

The King of Heroes’ remarks were very confident.

It was not the confidence that never ends, but the confidence that came out based on experience.

‘But, isn’t it too old now?’

No matter how you look at it, those long gray hair, eyebrows, and beard represented his age well past the time to retire.

‘Of course… Wizards in the fantasy world get stronger as they get older…’

Is that also true of articles?

I don’t know.

But, according to the setting, the level above 90 will still be maintained.

If you think about it that way, it doesn’t seem like you’re weak.

The skills of the sons and daughters are still unknown.

While I was glancing at the King of Heroes, the lord of Brahmha sprinted in front of Mt. Gangdae and begged.

Please protect your territory.

After that, other lords rushed in.

Some lords also clung to Everett Lowell.

Of course, the meeting has been suspended.

“I bet you told me to come see you after the meeting?”

“It’s the same for us. We’ll talk about this slowly after the meeting.”

The situation was finally calmed down by the words of the masters of the two giant guilds.

However, the anxious hearts of the lords showed no sign of going away.

“Hey…”

From there I moved.

Mr. Pierre readily accepted his remarks with a face as if he had always been waiting for me to appear.

They even kindly introduced themselves instead.

“The best chef in the world. I will allow Jeon Tae-min to speak. Everyone in the hall, please be quiet.”

‘Mistress… Burdensome…’

I cleared my throat and began to speak.

Briefly introduced himself.

“Me, that one?”

“I wondered where he was hiding, but in a place like this…”

“Who is this? Who is he? The best chef in the world? Is his food delicious?”

The hall suddenly became very noisy.

Over the past month, rumors about my cooking seem to have spread all over the world.

The only ones who were silent were the people from the kingdom.

Yes, it’s because there’s been almost no traffic.

“I would like to make a suggestion to you regarding this demonic invasion.”

I ignored the people’s whispers and raised my voice again.

What I propose to them in front of them is nothing unusual.

“The dish I make has a pretty decent buff…”

To sum up what I’m trying to say is this.

One, I will serve dishes to the lords during this time of demonic invasion. And that’s only in the lowest level territory. Of course it’s not free. Are going to sell However, we will provide it at a very reasonable price.

“What is he talking about?”

“How about cooking while Yeongji is going bankrupt?”

Voices popped out from here and there asking what the hell was that.

Since the explanation isn’t over yet, please shut up.

“Lords, you can place a request with my cooking as a reward.”

Two, the lords who have received my cooking issue a request to defeat the demons that have invaded their territory, targeting higher tier summoners of level 70 or higher. Summoners who accept the request can receive buff dishes in proportion to the amount of achievement points accumulated while defending against the demonic invasion. It was up to the lords to offer additional equipment, jewels, or gold as rewards.

I explained the details step by step.

Nevertheless, there were several lords who did not understand.

I couldn’t help it.

To help you understand, I have to ask Everett Lowell a question.

Kang Dae-san was a bit shy to talk to because he only had a one-on-one meeting with him.

“Master of Angelic Slime. What do you think? If the lord of Brahmha offered me my dish as a reward and asked me to deal with the demons that invaded the pixel, how would the angelic slime act?”

Everett Lowell looked at me with a deep smile.

A sudden question that had not been discussed in advance.

Nevertheless, I was convinced.

What kind of answer will that person give?

“Of course, you should run first and accept the request. Your dish is not easy to find.”

The lords who could not keep up with the situation widen their eyes.

It was a statement that sounded an alarm to those who did not understand or doubted the value of my cooking.

I added one more word to nail my remarks.

“One more thing. If things go as I said, I’ll give priority to those who have cleared the quest to purchase my food in the future.”

I moved my gaze towards the priest.

“I swear to God.”

The gossip started again.

This time, it was not the voices of the lords, but the voices of many players gathered here.

Everyone fixed their eyes on me.

It was the same with Everett Lowell and Kang Dae-san.

And the reporters Laura hired were also writing because the nib was broken.

‘I’ll be very busy for a while now.’

It is not possible to make dishes on the day of the invasion and deliver them to the lords of each region who are fighting fiercely.

Of course, you should prepare it in advance whenever you have time.

‘However, it can only be consumed for one week…’

So, to keep the dishes from spoiling, you must have an ancient artifact.

The remarks I just made are based on the assumption that the acquisition of the artifact will proceed without incident.

‘Is the next auction…’

At that time when I was worried about the upcoming auction.

“What?”

Several doors in the hall where the meeting was being held burst open.

Then, maids in the same outfit began to enter one after another through the door holding something.

From noble mtl dot com

In the midst of people panicking in a sudden situation.

What looked like a covered tray they were holding was placed one by one in front of each king and lord and their companions.

“What, what is this?”

“Hey, the scent… What the heck…”

“Mmm. Delicious smell!”

Suddenly, an appetizing aroma began to vibrate in the intestines.

‘Why does this smell…’

This was definitely the scent of the dish I made.

That was also the scent of button mushroom soup that Mr. Pierre made and handed to us yesterday at his request.

Following that, the scent of potato soup also began to emerge.

‘No way…?’

I glanced at Mr. Pierre with a puzzled look on his face, and he brought the loudspeaker to his mouth with a playful face.

“I don’t think an explanation would be enough. This is the hot soup prepared in advance by Pierre Lucky Seven, the president of Lucky Land, at the request of the great chef Jeon Tae-min. The rest of the negotiations will continue after the meal is over. Then, I hope you have a good time…”

Mr. Pierre smiles at me again.

However, my heart was not uncomfortable at all.

‘No… You’re only serving your daughter and a bowl of soup for lunch? Without a piece of bread?’

This was a matter of pride as a chef.
