Chapter 153 Coincidence (Part 1)

Choosing the ingredients for lunch wasn't a problem that would give Agusid much trouble.

Because over the next sixty-one years, he had already imprinted Vlamé's preferences and tastes deep in his memory.

Even for him, the time he spent in the capital was a memory from a thousand years ago—

But because of Vlamé's presence...

Therefore, he could never forget that warm and happy time.

From the smallest detail, like quietly observing Frillie lying lazily in the shade of a tree on a certain afternoon.
Even the future emperor faced two crises that nearly destroyed him...

Agushid remembered everything.

Therefore, even Vlamé's most subtle preferences and most discerning tastes...
Agushid was able to grasp it firmly.

—Because during his childhood, Vlame was the only orphan who survived after his hometown was burned to the ground by demons.
So until she met Celia, she lived a precarious and hungry life as a homeless person.

That lonely and hungry experience was something Vlamé least wanted to recall.
But undeniably, that period of wandering did shape her eating habits—

Aside from onions, which he absolutely could not stand, Vlamé was hardly a picky eater.

Moreover, compared to vegetables and fruits, which are difficult to satisfy hunger in a short period of time, Vlamé prefers meat.

Later, she was found by Celia and began living a life of luxury...

Therefore, her preference for the quality of meat naturally increased along with Celie's habits.

At least in Agushid's memory—

Although Vlamé did not dislike other types of meat,

However, they have an extraordinary fondness for dragon meat, especially the meat of high-level dragon species such as the 'Red Mirror Dragon', 'Demon Flame Dragon', 'Sky Wind Dragon', and 'Dark Dragon'.

Come to think of it—

Given Celia's personality, even when she eats, she'd probably try to choose powerful monsters as her food.

Among the high-level monsters that are most widely distributed and most numerous on the continent, only dragons are considered to be of high rank.

So it's not hard to understand how Volamere's habits were transformed into this way over time.

And that is precisely why—

The ingredients that Agushid chose were undoubtedly the ones he intended to use.

High-ranking, even top-tier, dragon species!!

Although under normal circumstances, the corpse of a monster will quickly disappear naturally after it dies.

However, as long as a high-level mage intervenes to stabilize the flow of magic in the monster's body after death, it can be perfectly preserved as food.

Therefore, for someone like Agusid, the most powerful mage in the world,
The only problem he needed to consider was finding the location of high-level dragons; as for the preservation of ingredients and transportation, he didn't need to worry about anything at all.

"A thousand years from now, it certainly won't be convenient for me to hunt high-level dragons anytime, anywhere during my own travels—"

"After all, they are quite sensitive to signs of magic and danger. If I leave the 'Space Slash' directly near their gathering place, it will cause them to migrate on a large scale."

Standing atop the left peak of the "Maurice Great Cliff," Agushid gazed into the distance at the menacing figures swirling in the blizzard on the horizon.
He slowly shook his head and then calmly patted the snowflakes off his shoulder.

"But now is almost the best time."

"The dragons of the 'Great Maurice Cliff' were not as vanished and disappeared a thousand years ago as they are in the future,"

"My hunting two here for food won't cause them any disturbance or migration..."

"Um……"

"Just to be on the safe side, let's go to the area where the dragons gather on the east side and kill a few 'Red Mirror Dragons.' That way, we won't really scare them into running around in circles—"

"After all, although their disappearance will mean fewer problems for caravans traveling along the road below the 'Maurice Great Cliff',"

"But if these dangerous high-level dragons were to migrate near human towns, it would be a huge loss."

It's not that Agusid couldn't simply kill all the dragons on the Great Cliff of Maurice.

He simply felt that there was absolutely no need to do that.

Or, to put it another way, if Agushid or Vlamed truly had this idea from the beginning...
So they would have done this as well after they defeated the Hundred-Headed Thunder Dragon here.

Indeed, leaving these dangerous dragons behind would cause considerable trouble for passing caravans.

But if we just kill these dragons like this...
Then other troubles are also unavoidable.

The Law of Conservation of Magic

"The amount of magic in the world is constant; nothing and no time can change this ironclad law that the total amount of magic remains unchanged."

Because monsters born from non-species reproduction are naturally produced due to the influence of magic on the environment.
So even if Agusid were to kill all the dragons here now...
Before long, they will transform into other monsters and randomly appear in other corners of this world.

Rather than that, it would be better to just let them stay on the 'Maurice Great Cliff' indefinitely.

At least for now, this is the safest option.

Thinking of this, Agushid frowned.
Through the snow curtain, my gaze fell upon two very ordinary-looking "Sky Wind Dragons" perched on the cliff.

"think carefully……"

"It seems I have no reason to even hunt the most common dragon species here."

"It's fine to do this when I don't understand emotions, and it's fine when Vlame isn't around..."

"But Vlame is right here with me. If I do this, won't it upset her?"

Thinking about my wife's awkward personality and mindset right now...

The most powerful magician sighed slightly, ultimately unable to do anything that would displease Vlamé.

But if we don't do this—

Then we won't be able to get the ingredients that Vlamé likes.

As far as I can remember, during my travels in the last two years,

Because it is rare to encounter dragons that stay or attack humans and towns.
Therefore, apart from occasionally being able to buy a few pieces of dragon meat when purchasing in larger cities, Vlamé was able to do so.

At other times, they almost never actively hunt dragons to satisfy their hunger.

On one hand, there's the option of making his wife unhappy; on the other hand, there's the option of ensuring she gets the best food.

Even the most powerful demons from a thousand years in the future are caught in a dilemma at this moment.

But just when he was worried and didn't know what to do,
A deafening roar from a dragon made him raise an eyebrow.

"This is... 'Heavenly Frost Dragon Slayer'?"

"Besides the Hundred-Headed Thunder Dragon that once dominated the 'Great Maurice Cliff,' there's actually another dragon species left over from the mythical era here?"

"How come my luck has suddenly become so good lately—"

"Just when I was struggling with this decision, the perfect ingredients just happened to be delivered to my door?"
