The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Sylph also started searching in the card shop.

Only Vasita wrinkled her nose and gave a strange look.

However, to avoid being discovered by others, she quietly lowered her head and started eating.

Moran explained in a serious tone: "Canned food is a special way of packaging and preserving food on Earth. However... canned herring has a rather unique flavor, which may be difficult for most people to accept."

"Really? There's such a food?" Celia curiously materialized the card and opened the can according to the opening diagram on it.

Vasita and Moran held their breath as soon as they heard the can being opened.

Celia, Lilith, and Sylph faced the stench head-on, all of them gagging as if they would faint from the stench if they took another breath.

For the first time, Bi'er flapped her wings and flew several hundred meters in one breath. Zhizhi covered her nose and put her head on the ground to block out the smell.

Only Lilith's vampire vines are relatively normal.

This card is a one-time use card; once it is materialized, it cannot be retrieved.

Celia made a gesture as if to throw it away, but then remembered that it was next to where she lived and worried that it would pollute the land, so she took it back.

Holding it in my hand, I didn't know what to do with it.

Fortunately, there were three cans on the card, and she only opened one.

Otherwise the stench will be doubled!
"This...this is really food, and not some foul-smelling poison?"

“It’s food! It smells unbearable, but it tastes quite good,” Moran said.

"It's unbelievable that someone could eat something so smelly... Ugh~" Sylph turned her face away again.

“Why don’t we throw it into the Devouring Stomach?” Vasita suggested.

In fifth grade, she also drew a herring can card, which she ended up feeding to her swallowing stomach.

This stuff may smell bad, but it provides a decent amount of energy.

This was something she couldn't understand; based on the energy gained from consuming food from the stomach, this canned stinky herring even belonged to the category of delicious food.

"Is...is this appropriate?" Celia said, covering her nose. "I'll destroy it with magic—Uri!"

The turtle she was holding had somehow turned around and plunged headfirst into the can of fermented herring, taking bite after bite.

When Celia saw that the tip of its tail was still twirling, she fell silent: "You actually think this tastes good?"

Having lived with Wuli for so long, she only found out today that Wuli has such unusual tastes!
Uli remained silent, simply burying her head in her food, licking the can clean and drinking all the juice before finally looking up and saying, "Delicious! More!"

They were speaking the common language of Waren.

Another magical pet that can speak human language.

It's not surprising that a witch's pet can speak human language, since the witch's pet contract inherently provides an intelligence boost to the pet.

Especially since this turtle is a species from another world.

But its love for canned herring is still quite surprising.

Celia even asked it again, "Do you really still want to eat? Don't you think it smells bad?"

Uli: "It smells good!"

Celia used Wind Wall to create a space far downwind, and threw Uri and the remaining two cans into it.

Uli buried herself in her food again and began to eat voraciously.

Before long, the remaining two cans of food were also eaten clean.

Vasida silently retracted her swallowing stomach: "It seems that the canned herring really suits its taste."

They loved Moran's cooking, but they weren't as eager to eat the canned herring as they were to eat it. Even though the wind had carried the smell away, the lingering odor of the empty can still made them nauseous.

Finally, Celia tossed the tin can high into the air and blasted it to ashes with a firework bomb.

After she carried Uli back to the campfire and sat down, Moran handed her a card: "Rations for Uli."

“{Canned herring,}, one ton?” Celia almost felt nauseous.

Moran had previously said she would provide Uli with more food and took out a card. Although she didn't understand what it was at the time, she could see the name of the card, which was clearly {Ingredient Card - Freshwater Fish}.
"How about we switch back to the old card?" Celia said.

Canned herring smells awful!
Uri turned to look at her. DouDou's eyes were full of pleading. Seeing that Celia didn't move, it leaned forward and bit the card, saying indistinctly, "Thank you!"

It accepted it itself, quickly hid it, and then continued to nibble on the dried fish as if nothing had happened.

Celia: "..."

It seems to really love eating. We raise so many fish for it, and it only takes care of them; it never tries to hide or hoard them.

Celia had no choice but to accept Uri's decision, and said to Moran somewhat apologetically:

"Thank you, but the fish you caught are nothing at all. There's no need for this."

In addition, Uli and I even got a free meal.

How about this, you can come to my house tonight! You can put your tent on Uli's back.

I also have a few signature dishes, I'll cook them for you tomorrow.

Moreover, there are some fish and shrimp that I raised for Wuli at the bottom of the lake, but they are not from Cuixiyuan and are not adapted to the water here. They can only be kept at the bottom of the lake and will not come out.

Moran, you can go and pick out a few more; consider it a thank-you gift for that card you received.

Moran definitely needs some new types of card-making materials, and the way Celia looked when she first appeared was just too cool.

They were absolutely thrilled to spend a night on a turtle's back.

After exchanging glances with Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph, she nodded in agreement: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all! The lake hasn't been this lively in a long time!" Celia said happily.

“Let’s eat quickly, and after we finish eating, let’s tidy up the camp!” Moran said.

She was so engrossed in her talk that she hadn't even touched the dishes she had prepared.

By now, the smell of the herring had dissipated, and the witches were eager to try it again.

Moran prepared a very generous portion; even with one more person, they were all still full.

However, we didn't need to use Vasita's Devouring Stomach to clean up the leftovers today.

Uli ate the rest.

Like Zizi, Uli can change size.

But its enormous size is its true form.

Its appetite is matched to its size, which is quite astonishing.

It was probably only it and Vasita who weren't full.

However, they each have their own ways of supplementing their diet. Vasita can stuff breadfruit into her stomach, while Uri can go back to the bottom of the lake to continue eating.

Moran packed up his things in the camp, turned the tent back into a tent card, and went to the lakeside with Celia.

Celia put Uli into the water, and Uli swam towards the center of the lake before rapidly growing larger.

"Let's get on!" Celia took out her flying broom and flew onto Uri's back first, with Moran and the others following closely behind. (End of Chapter)
