The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 567 The Codex of World Burning
"It's just so-so. Most of the red dragons can handle spicy food quite well! But we can also eat the non-spicy ones, it's just not as refreshing as the spicy ones."

"Like hellfire peppers, I can eat a whole handful in one bite!" Red Dragon said.

"A handful in one bite?" Moran silently doubled the amount of hell peppers in the Hell Lava Roasted Whole Beef dish.

The Hellfire Pepper is a mutated variety of the Ghost Pepper cultivated by Sylph. It is currently the hottest pepper on the continent of Valen, so hot that it can breathe fire and draw upon fire elemental power.

Their seeds are not capable of reproduction. Only the Hell Peppers condensed in Sylph's Box of Myriad Seeds, combined with her exotic magic, can cultivate Hell Peppers.

The Hellchi Pepper's unique magic skill card is not yet available in the Dawn Academy's card shop.

Most people assume that this type of chili pepper is a product of another world and is not adapted to the ecological environment of Valen.

Members of the Dawn Society have developed various uses for the Hellfire Pepper.

Some people use it to increase the success rate of fire elemental magic, some use it to increase the destructive power of fire, and some use it to poison their opponents.

That's right, for those with insufficient fire resistance or affinity, the Hell Pepper is a poison that can damage the mouth, throat, and stomach.

No one has used it as food yet.

Moran chose to use Hellfire Chili peppers in his cooking because he considered the physical strength of the Red Dragons and their ability to control fire elemental power.

Even so, she didn't dare to add too much; she planned to add only five small chili peppers when roasting a volcanic rhinoceros.

The red dragon in front of him claimed that he could eat a handful of hell peppers in one bite. How much would a handful of hell peppers be for a dragon!

As expected of a red dragon with an extremely high affinity for fire elements, nine out of ten of them have unlimited fire magic talent!

When she was researching the dish "Hell Lava Roasted Whole Beef," she was too conservative with the amount of hell pepper she used.

Five hell peppers probably wouldn't even be enough to fill Red Dragon's teeth; five hundred hell peppers would be about right.

“I’ll add extra spice to suit your taste,” Moran said.

"That's great! I just had a meal, but it wasn't spicy enough, I was really looking forward to it!" The chubby red dragon said with a smile, "By the way, my name is Igniva. I have a copy of the 'Burning City Code' passed down from my grandfather, can I exchange it for the super spicy Hell Lava Roasted Whole Beef you mentioned? If not, I have other books."

As Moran received the "City Burning Code," the witch's hat on her head suddenly gave her some long-lost inspiration: "What is the connection between the 'City Burning Code' and the 'World Burning Code'?"

"You actually know about the 'Burning World Code'?" Igniva asked in surprise.

The Codex of World Burning was written by the ancient red dragon Lord Garros. It contained a method to destroy a civilization. Unfortunately, before the dragons descended upon Valen, the book was lost in the universe along with Lord Garros's fall. Only in the inherited memories are there a few words mentioning the Codex of World Burning.

"I've heard from the elders in my clan that it's supposedly a masterpiece of the dragon race, but unfortunately no one has ever seen its contents," Moran said evasively.

The inspiration she had just received from the Witch's Hat was a passage from the Codex of Burning the World: "To destroy a civilization, one must destroy the bodies and souls of all intelligent beings within it. As long as the soul is immortal, there is always hope for the continuation of civilization."

She now understands why the Blue Star Planet consciousness escorted the souls of the survivors away.

As long as the souls born under civilization remain, civilization will not be completely destroyed.

“I’ve never even seen the original ‘Codex of Burning the World.’ This ‘Codex of Burning the City’ is just an imitation, recording some methods for destroying cities,” Igniva said.

Moran opened the book in her hands, and indeed, as Igniva had said, it was merely an imitation, and its content was far inferior to "The Codex of Burning World." As she turned the pages, she smelled a faint sulfurous odor, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was actually a book made of volcanic crystal.

Volcanic glass crystals are only formed deep within volcanic magma where fire elemental power is extremely concentrated, making them an absolutely precious magical material rich in fire element.

Only the dragon race is so extravagant as to use volcanic crystal for book pages, and the book contains only worthless methods of burning cities.

However, she had never seen this book before, and it was enough to cover her meal expenses.

Moran accepted the book: "Please come with me."

She had just used her mental power to subtly probe Igniva.

As she had expected, Igniva did not react to her mental probing.

Her rank is only at the peak level, she hasn't been to the Sky Well yet, she doesn't have those strange and unpredictable abilities from other worlds, and her mental defenses are almost non-existent, making it nearly impossible for her to resist her mental magic.

The perfect student for learning dragon language magic!
Of course, we should bring them inside and "treat" them properly!

Upon entering the courtyard, Moran noticed Igniva's gaze lingering on the outdoor dining area. He quickly said, "The Hellfire Peppers are too spicy during cooking. Let's eat indoors to avoid accidentally injuring our neighbors."

Most of the guests on Delicious Island are dragons, but there isn't a single dragon among the chefs.

Dragons are gluttonous, but they have never been able to master sophisticated cooking methods.

Igniva then revealed that he hadn't mentioned wanting to dine in the courtyard.

Moran also learned from Vasita and redesigned the layout of the house.

However, she didn't need to win by the quantity of food, nor did she need to create such a large cooking and dining area like Vasita. She simply moved the more private items from the first floor upstairs and renovated the first floor into a place specifically for entertaining dragon guests. The kitchen and dining room were made a little more spacious to better suit the preferences of the dragons.

Even if dragons transform into humans, they still don't like cramped and crowded environments.

Unlike Knotak, Igniva was not curious about her cooking process and did not say much.

I sat at the dining table the whole time, looking expectantly towards the kitchen.

Upon seeing Moran manifest a large basket of hell peppers, he swallowed excitedly.

Then came the constant urging and asking: "Is it ready yet? How much longer? It smells so good!"

Gradually, he couldn't sit still any longer and started pacing around outside the kitchen, as if waiting even a little longer would be unbearable.

At first, Moran would say things like, "It will take a while, don't rush."

Later, they simply placed a magic timer on the bar and told Igniva, "Dinner will be served promptly in one hour!"

Igniva stopped asking her questions and instead sat at the bar, holding the magic timer and staring at the time on it, occasionally letting out impatient hissing sounds and even spitting out sparks.

Thankfully, the magic timer was made of metal and could withstand high temperatures, and Igniva wasn't breathing in its dragon form, otherwise the magic timer would have been destroyed long ago.
