Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 641 Miraculous Fruit (2-in-1)

"Lord Roy, Her Highness the Princess has prepared a welcome banquet for you. We would be honored if you would join us!"

After settling in briefly, night fell quickly.

The steward Salian came over with several attendants and extended a respectful invitation.

Roy then took Prandtse, Nisa, and Freya to the banquet.

Soon after, in the city center, in a magnificent palace.

Dressed in her finest attire, Deirdre sat gracefully at the long dining table like a porcelain doll, looking at Roy across from her.

On either side were their respective servants and followers.

Alice, dressed in a long red and white dress, stood behind him without sitting down. Instead, Domi, the cat, wore an apron, held a knife and fork, and instructed the servants next to her to help set out the dishes.

Sarian was slightly surprised and turned her gaze to Alice: "This young lady..."

"She doesn't need to eat; you just need to take good care of Domi."

Salian nodded, though he didn't quite understand, he quickly accepted it.

It was only then that Roy realized that Deirdiri was surrounded by many races, including Furious Orcs, Half-Orcs, Halflings, Dwarves, and Big-eared Elves.

I don't know why, but I suddenly found it a little funny.

These servants and subordinates were all short men.

The whole room was packed, but I couldn't find anyone taller than Deirdre!

She acts like a princess from a fairy tale.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Roy turned his head and looked around at the colorful, fairytale-style decor, and seemed to understand something again.

"Thank you very much for taking the time to come and eliminate this scourge for me, Torrad."

Actually, we also have the army left behind by our father, as well as some level-two puppets and high-level combatants.

But they are all stationed at the 'Eye of the Abyss,' the Great Rift Valley of Tibiro, and it is really not advisable to mobilize them..."

Before the banquet began, Deirdre briefly explained the background of the mission and once again expressed her gratitude for Roy's arrival.

Roy was not surprised by this. It was impossible for a level three wizard to be short of money or manpower. It was just that there would be occasional cash flow problems or manpower shortages.

After Dildeli finished speaking, the servants filed in, pushing food carts and placing various exquisite dishes on the table.

Most wizards have undergone various magical transformations and have little need for food, but they will not refuse to eat something as a courtesy.

The chefs at Deirdre knew this well, and the ingredients they used were all unique varieties that possessed magical properties.

Grilled meat gleaming with a faint glow, colorful fish soup, and wine emitting a fluorescent sheen...

Roy used the Eye of Hermes to look at them and found that most of them were glowing with a white magical light, while a few even had green and blue light.

After just a few bites, the magical energy within my body was activated, and my magic power quickly increased.

Even a second-level wizard like him had this feeling, so Pranje and the others naturally ate with even greater satisfaction.

Their cellular instincts made them feel that these foods were exceptionally delicious, far surpassing any delicacy in the mortal world.

However, the most attention-grabbing part was at the end of the banquet.

Some fresh fruit, served on golden platters, was brought out.

They trembled there, their faces showing fear.

Both Prandtie and Nisha were greatly surprised when they saw it.

Domi's eyes lit up, and he stared intently.

It sensed a vibrant magical energy within it, the kind of "enchantment."

"Please allow us to cut the fruit and arrange the platter for our guests!"

Salian waved his hand, and several Fury orcs, wielding silver knives, cut up the fruit.

"what!"

"Woo!"

Voices of fear and weeping, or pleading for mercy, could be heard.

Even after being cut open, the fruit pulp still wriggled as if it were alive, which was quite astonishing.

At that moment, a large golden fruit that looked just like a pineapple was pushed onto the food cart behind.

A square face, shaped like the Chinese character "国" (guo), appeared on the fruit peel, looking unusually serious.

"Don't cry, everyone!"
Now is the time for us to return to Mother Earth's embrace. For Torad, for the Mother Tree, and also to express our gratitude to Her Highness the Princess and all the gardeners, let us fulfill our duty as fruit and offer ourselves in gratitude!

Roy was stunned.

As an 80-year-old second-level wizard, he had traveled to several worlds, but his knowledge was still limited.

After delivering a passionate speech, the large, golden fruit, which resembled a pineapple, bowed deeply in the direction of Deirdiri and apologized profusely.

"I'm sorry you had to see this..."

He immediately reached out and grabbed a plane, which flew up and landed in his palm.

Just like the objects controlled by "animation magic," this "hand" is actually formed by magical energy, possessing the softness and dynamism of dough.

Then it was seen raising the plane blade high above its head.

"what!"

With a heroic shout, he suddenly slashed his own face!
"Oh!"

"Wow!"

The other fruits around them all displayed vivid expressions of shock.

"Wah la wah la wah la!"

The golden fruit, which looks just like a pineapple, had tears streaming down its face as it resolutely peeled off all the skin from its body.

In just a short while, it became a smooth, peeled fruit.

Her cheeks flushed, and under the dreamlike light and shadow, she raised one hand above her head and covered her non-existent crotch with the other, looking slightly shy. She then leaped up and jumped into the salt water below.

With a thud, it shattered into eight pieces.

In the process of peeling just now, he used an amazing technique of air blade cutting to cut himself into eight pieces.

"Wow!"

Prandtse and the others were stunned.

"What a wonderful performance! I never expected that among this group of fruit fairies, there would be such a reasonable and brave one."

Deirdil smiled and clapped her hands gently.

Domi, sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but pat the table lightly with her cat paws.

"This is truly an eye-opening experience for me!"

The other fruits were deeply moved upon seeing this.

"Lord Golden Pineapple..."

"We feel your conviction!"

"Let us learn from you and dedicate ourselves to fulfilling the meaning of fruit!"

"Hey!"

"Wow!"

The next few creatures, resembling mangoes, starfruits, and peaches, grabbed the knife handles one by one, and with swift, decisive strokes, sliced ​​themselves off.

There are even banana-like things; with a "ah" sound, a piece of banana peel is ripped off, and with a "ya" sound, another piece of banana peel is torn off.

After a few quick movements, the pulp was peeled out, and with eyes closed, the fruit ran across several plates and dishes before leaping into the spinning blender to be made into a puree.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, the maid, Fury, used a silver fork to skewer a segment of the golden pineapple, placed it on a plate, and served it to Roy.

"Our esteemed guest deserves to enjoy the first bite of the delicacy."

Princess Deirdiri said warmly.

"please!"

******
Upon hearing this, Roy used the Eye of Hermes to look over and saw that it was emitting a rich green glow.

"Torrad Elf - Pineapple Fruit (Level 1)..."

The divine creation, originating from 'fertile land', is a miracle born from the combination of natural life and creation magic.

Special Feature: Permanent Resurrection...

Consuming the pulp can, to some extent, stimulate changes in activating energy, resulting in a long-lasting and stable activating energy effect…

Roy's eyes lit up, and he forked a piece of fruit, putting it in his mouth to taste it.

It indeed has a texture similar to pineapple. But it's exceptionally delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and making one feel as if they are immersed in the bright atmosphere of a sunny orchard.

After that, the body's activating energy was immediately activated.

It felt as if an electric current surged through his mind; his muscles swelled and his hair flew up.

The radiation of activating energy unconsciously spreads and overflows, like fluorescent light, illuminating the surroundings.

In an instant, the knives, forks, bowls, plates, tables, chairs, vases... even the sand, stones, grass, and trees in the outer courtyard trembled slightly.

Everyone watched this scene in astonishment.

"Oh!"

Deirdiri exclaimed in surprise and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"It seems that Lord Roy greatly appreciates this fruit!"

The short servants around him echoed his sentiments.

"It's such an honor!"

The maid, Fu Rui, understood and quickly brought more fruit to Roy, inviting him to taste it.

Roy remained calm and tasted the other fruit pieces.

But in the short term, apart from the taste, there didn't seem to be any other special feeling.

Even the pineapple fruit with the "eternal resurrection" property will be the same when you eat it again.

Even when viewed through the Eye of Hermes, the other pieces of fruit from the same source no longer possessed the same radiance.

Roy guessed that this might be something like a talent source.

It alters its spiritual qualities to some extent, endowing it with more enduring and persistent activating energy properties.

But only the first bite is effective.

The moment it was eaten, all the spiritual essence of the entire fruit was absorbed into it.

……

After the dinner, Roy returned to his room.

In this mansion adorned with opulent gold decorations, he dismissed the Furi orc servants, casually picked up a small wooden carving from beside the table, and white light surged in his palm.

Under the effect of the "secondary activation technique", the crane-shaped statue raised its head and stretched its neck, coming to life.

"It seems like things really are different now..."

With his powerful mental energy and deep understanding of "activation techniques", he keenly sensed some of the mutated characteristics.

The activated energy injected into it seems to be more "viscous" and less likely to be lost.

This should have been achieved by infusing enchanted marble, or other materials with superior magical properties.

"It is indeed a fine treasure!"

But where exactly did this thing come from? Was it grown in fertile soil?

Roy pondered the information he had seen through the Eye of Hermes.

……

"Meow meow!"

The next day, Roy snapped out of his meditation.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my black cat, Domi, who had been sleeping next to me, lying at my feet, howling.

"what happened to you?"

Roy looked puzzled.

"Master, I feel a little unwell, meow!"

Domi twisted and turned, looking pitiful.

Roy used his mental power to sense it, but didn't detect anything too unusual.

As a result, when they grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up, they found that the whole cat was like a lump of dough, stretched out.

"I see, it's an imbalance of activating energy in the body..."

Roy recalled how uncomfortable he felt when he first adopted the golden Behemoth bloodline in his youthful body.

How long will it take to get better?

Domi lay there, writhing like a snake.

It felt as if it had now turned into a snake.

"You'll get used to it."

Roy rubbed its soft belly and said comfortingly.

"Woo..."

Domi swayed left and right, acting all cute.

Roy had no choice but to pick it up, put it in his hands, and walk out.

Prandtse, Nisa, and Freya were already there waiting for her.

"Something feels strange about my body..."

Prandtse demonstrated that her body, as soft as dough, could be easily folded into an inverted U-shape.

However, she was a dark elf spy known for her agility, and after one night, she had almost perfectly mastered the mutation of this activating energy.

Roy briefly inquired with Nisha and Freya, and the answer was similar.

"We should also go outside and see what's going on with those monsters harassing the orchard."

After chatting for a while, Roy summoned the Furi orcs who served in the mansion and asked for details.

They immediately contacted Salian.

Then he suggested preparing transportation to take Roy there.

Roy has his own magic carpet, so he doesn't need to go through all that trouble: "Just tell me where those monsters appear."

If we could pinpoint the location of their hideout, that would be ideal.

"We have been clearing out those monsters and have also tracked down the location of the spatial rift."

It turned out that they came from the demiplane.

Fearing that the area might be swallowed by the will of the abyss, they dared not pursue further…

The Will of the Abyss can be considered one of the largest and most powerful dimensional wills.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to even remove that one.

He is the embodiment of chaos and disorder, the place where all filth and sin are deposited.

Even hell is far less ancient and powerful than this.

This is determined by the characteristics of the plane.

This world of Torrad has been confirmed to have been invaded, leaving behind the imprint of the will of the abyss.

The void around it is always at risk of changing.

Roy felt that this matter should not be delayed, so he suggested that they go immediately.

Shortly afterward, Salian arrived and gave Roy the map.

But then Princess Deirdre arrived in a reindeer-drawn carriage and suggested that they go together to take a look.

Several fully armed guards appeared beside her, all of whom seemed to be at least at the first rank.

"Oh well.

However, if you encounter combat, please take cover immediately.

Roy felt that this was a bit of a burden, but as the saying goes, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," so he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, when things really happen, he'll act accordingly.

Fight when necessary, run when necessary, and even charge a fee for providing assistance.

Unaware of Roy's thoughts, Deirdre happily boarded the carriage, and under the protection of the guards, the reindeer crossed an invisible rainbow bridge, heading west.

Roy, along with his followers, followed behind on a magic carpet.

After flying over a thousand kilometers, they arrived at the mouth of a canyon deep in the mountains.

Sure enough, a thick black smoke-like mist was billowing out from afar, and the repulsive abyssal demonic energy was exceptionally evident.

　I was planning to update 10,000 words today... but I ended up writing 4,000 words tonight. What a surprise!
