The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 561 Delicious Island

Squeak seemed to have its appetite whetted by the clatter. It pulled out a bunch of drink cards, tapped them three times with its little finger, then selected a card, materialized it, inserted a straw, and started drinking.

Seeing Moran looking at it, it patted its belly and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, you drink first."

Moran reluctantly put Kaba's coffin into her space card, then summoned the Book of Cards, took out her own {Communication Card}, told her friends about the results of exploring the ghost ship, and reminded them to exchange for {Material Card - Heart of the Ghost Ship} in the card shop.

Of the four of them, only Sylph did not keep a dead servant.

The heart of a ghost ship is a rare treasure for all undead creatures.

[Lilith: Where are you going next?]

[Moran: I haven't decided yet. It'll probably be one of these places: the Elf Forest, the Dragon Island, the Mermaid Sea, or the Orc Plains! Other places are a bit far from where I am now.]

[Sylph: The civil war between pure-blood elves and half-elves has just ended. Although the pure-blood elves won, they suffered heavy casualties. Now the entire Elven Forest is heavily guarded by treants, making it difficult to enter or leave, and not a good time to infiltrate. However, you don't necessarily have to come to the Elven Forest to learn nature magic yourself. I took advantage of the chaos to collect some elven books, including quite a few spellbooks. I'll organize them and upload them using the management card.]

[Moran: Okay! @Vashida, what's the situation with the Dragon Clan?]

[Vashida: On Dragon Island, everything is as usual. However, the dragons' lineage relies entirely on inherited memories, unlike us witches and human mages who have dedicated schools to teach us. True dragons don't learn dragon language magic from others, so pretending to be a dragon and stealing dragon language magic is unlikely to work. I usually just fight dragons directly to learn their hand-to-hand combat techniques.]

[Vashida: However, my dragon friends who often fight with me often bestow some abridged and weakened versions of dragon language magic as rewards upon their dragonborn and dragon servants who worship them. But the effect is only similar to the elemental magic of human mages, so it's not worth learning, and you'll still be cursed by the dragon.]

[Vashida: If you really want to learn dragon magic, I suggest you just capture a dragon, subdue it, and make it willingly hand over its inherited memories! However, different dragon species are good at different dragon magic, so if you want to learn them all, you'll need to capture at least ten dragons, including the five-colored dragons and metal dragons.]

[Washida: If you come, I'll go with you to fight dragons! I know where to find them!]

[Moran: There's no need to capture dragons. My mage's mental magic is quite good, at the peak level or below. Reading, fabricating, and modifying memories shouldn't be a problem. Where on Dragon Island can I encounter many different dragon species?]

[Washida: That has to be Delicious Island. But really, we don't need to catch a dragon?]

[Moran: ...No need. The ten-year period is almost up. At this time, it's best not to attract the attention of the alien races.]

[Lilith: Members of the Dawn Society are now scattered throughout Valen, representing all races. Many have become accustomed to the Dawn Society's resource cards, thus achieving your initial goal. Even if the alien races discover the Wilderness Protection Magic Array is malfunctioning, they probably won't dare to attack the Wilderness recklessly and become enemies with the witch.]

[Moran: The Dawn Society has grown strong, which means the emergence of a new witch among the witches is practically no secret. We're still in the wilderness! Better be careful.]

Having decided to go to Delicious Island, Moran set up the automatic flight path for the flying carpet, directing it to fly south into the depths of the ocean.

On the way, she reviewed the memory-related spells in the mage's mental magic, and then picked up a book called "The Taste Buds of Dragons" and started reading it with great interest.

If you want to secretly read the dragons' inherited memories on Delicious Island, using food as bait is the perfect choice.

"The Taste Buds of Dragons" is a book about the taste preferences of dragons. Dragons use the method of transformation to take human form, and their sense of taste is seven or eight parts similar to that of humans. Therefore, what humans find delicious, dragons will also find delicious.

The remaining two points are based on the different tastes of each dragon. Among these, different dragon species often have similar preferences, with few exceptions.

This book introduces the taste preferences of different dragon species.

The dragons of Valen are mainly divided into five-colored dragons and metal dragons.

The five-colored dragons are red, black, blue, green, and white.

Metal dragons come in gold, silver, bronze, brass, and copper.

According to "The Taste Buds of Dragons," red dragons generally crave spicy food and cannot live without it; black dragons are bloodthirsty and prefer food with a slightly bloody taste; blue dragons have good teeth and like chewy food; green dragons have an extraordinary resistance to poison and enjoy the taste of toxins; white dragons like to eat ice, and all hot food must be frozen into ice cubes before they can eat it; gold dragons like soft food, the softer the better; silver dragons like sweet food and send servants to the land every year to buy sugar; bronze dragons like soupy food; brass dragons like salty food and have their own salt fields; and red copper dragons like crispy fried food.

Blue Star cuisine perfectly caters to the dragons' preferences, but now, with the development of the Dawn Society, Blue Star cuisine has become well-known throughout Valen.

Dragons have large appetites and love to eat, resulting in a huge sales volume of Blue Star Food Cards among them.

If Moran wants to lure the dragons with delicious food, simply copying Earth's cuisine is not quite enough.

She plans to combine Blue Star's cooking methods with Valen's ingredients to design a new recipe for the dragon race.

Thanks to the witches for uploading all sorts of strange and wonderful materials, and the food witches for contributing cookbooks, Moran's research into new recipes is going very smoothly.

After developing ten new dishes specifically for dragons, they arrived at Delicious Island.

From a distance, Delicious Island looks like a shallow, large basin.

It is said that long ago, the mountain ranges surrounding the island were very undulating and could block wind, rain and tsunamis.

Later, as more dragons descended here, the mountains were flattened, resulting in their current appearance.

Just as Moran arrived, a red dragon descended upon the island.

Upon seeing the mountain-sized dragon for the first time, Moran was somewhat terrified of giant creatures and stopped the flying carpet at a distance.

Then we saw it clutch its belly and crash onto the mountain with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A moment later, a chubby red-haired boy emerged from the dust, patting the dust off his bottom as he walked, leaving only a small crater in his wake.

Moran: "..."

The dragon's physique management is a bit worrying!
