I have a Synthesizer

After the battle ended, Facheis brought Qianhua to the camp. Several captured assassins, their limbs broken by Lilith and the others, were thrown on the ground.

Gwen and the leaders of the other two guilds didn't participate because their subordinates could easily handle enemies of this caliber, making their intervention unnecessary.

Upon seeing Facheis arrive, Gwen stepped forward and briefly reported on the incident.

“Lord Facheis, a total of 79 enemies, including 63 at the second rank and 16 at the third rank, have been completely eliminated, leaving 4 alive.

We also briefly interrogated them, but obtained very little useful information. It's not that they're tight-lipped, but they don't know who their employer is.

Only a few of the leaders are from the Assassin's Guild. The rest were mercenaries recruited temporarily.

The operation originated from an anonymous task posted by the Assassin's Guild, submitted by a beggar who is now dead.”

Facheis nodded. Gwen's report was already quite detailed. Although she was strong, she wasn't skilled in interrogation and didn't have any soul-coercing techniques.

Since Gwen and the others had already interrogated them, she didn't bother to continue questioning. She simply said to the First Princess Qianhua, who was beside her:

“Your Highness, do you see? I was right, wasn't I? Danger lurks everywhere in Grandok. We just left Latis Fortress.

Only one night has passed, and we've already encountered an assassination attempt in Grandok. So, it's best to be careful when doing things in enemy territory.”

Qianhua looked at the corpses on the ground, her mood somewhat complicated. Although she was a princess and had the strength of a third rank, she had no practical combat experience.

This was her first time experiencing such a battle, or rather, a massacre. Although she didn't participate in the fight, the blood on the ground gave her a significant psychological shock.

The escort team encountered an assassination attempt on their first night. Although most of the attackers were worthless, several Security Department soldiers died.

Now that they were in Grandok, it would put some psychological pressure on the team.

Moreover, those with discerning minds knew that the intensity of this assassination attempt wasn't high, perhaps just a simple probe to test the strength of their group.

But if a second assassination attempt occurred, it wouldn't be as simple as today. Seeing that the matter was over, Facheis said loudly:

“Everyone, rest as usual. We'll continue on our way tomorrow. Dispose of these people.”

“Yes.”

… …

The next day, perhaps because of the assassination attempt the previous night, the escort team was much more subdued. No one spoke much, except for Klein and his group in their carriage.

At lunchtime, including the rest time, everyone was honestly gnawing on the bread made by Klein.

To their surprise, today's bread seemed a little tastier than usual. At least it wasn't as dry as before.

A soldier quietly asked his companion:

“Did you feel that today's bread is better than before? I feel it's not only softer but also a little sweet.”

Soldier B:

“You think so too? It does have a slight sweetness, and it's a lot softer. I thought it was just my imagination.”

Soldier C:

“Could it be that our arcanist has had a change of heart? Or is he on drugs? Did his magic power increase?”

Soldier A:

“How would I know?”

The people discussing the bread weren't just them. Many guild members also noticed it. Although their requirements for food during missions weren't high, it was still a happy thing if the food tasted better.

Princess Qianhua looked at the bread in her hand with some surprise. Although the taste was still far from what she used to eat, it was at least much better than the previous few days. She said to Becky, who was beside her:

“Becky, today's bread seems pretty good. At least it's not hard to swallow. Did that arcanist named Klein have a change of heart? Did he make it better specifically for me?”

Becky was a little dazed. She never had any requirements for food and wasn't sure why Klein had changed today. She could only shake her head and say:

“Perhaps Mr. Klein is considerate of Your Highness's hard work and specially prepared better bread for you, so you can eat more comfortably.”

The speaker didn't mean much, but the listener took it to heart. Qianhua's eyes lit up.

“Hmm, I didn't expect him to be such a soft-hearted person who hides his feelings. He's quite thoughtful. It seems I was too harsh on him last time.

No, he's already compensating me like this. I feel it's necessary to apologize to him.”

Qianhua could imagine that Klein made it specially for her privately, and Becky was impressed. Seeing Qianhua was about to walk towards Klein, she quickly stopped her.

“Hey! Your Highness, where are you going?”

“I'm going to find Mage Klein to thank him. What's wrong?”

Becky thought for a moment, she didn't seem to have any reason or right to stop Qianhua, so she could only nod.

“Then I'll accompany Your Highness.”

“Okay!”

… …

Klein didn't know that he had just spent a little more effort to improve the team's living standards with the bread, which would bring him a huge trouble.

At this time, Klein and the others were squatting in their carriage eating hot pot. Besides Eric and Klein, Joe and Lilith were also there.

As for why he thought of eating hot pot, the reason was very simple, because Klein had combined a very useful magical item last night.

【Magical Cooking Pot (Magical Item): Food cooked in this pot has its flavor optimized by 50%】

A magical item!

Seeing this, Klein realized how valuable Katie's pot at home was. If this pot was placed in his previous life, it could save a restaurant.

With the cooking pot as the core, other things were too easy. Klein and Joe could completely build a stove with a bone frame.

Then Klein threw a continuous fireball underneath, mixed some water, and added some seasonings, and the hot pot base was completed.

Although there were no beef and mutton rolls, shrimp paste, or tripe, and no beer, drinks, or mineral water, they had all kinds of magic beast meat and tequila, and various fruit wines!

In addition, various internal organs, noses, ears, tails, and eyeballs of magic beasts were cooked, and that was it. Anyway, their physiques were all running above 20, and they wouldn't die from eating it.

Klein cut the magic beast meat into chunks, cleaned it, and then Joe used his skeletal hand to cut the meat into thin slices.

As for why he wanted Joe to waste his magic power to do such a thing, Klein's explanation was that such subtle operations could improve the control ability of skeletal extensions.

Although Joe was very suspicious that Klein was fooling him, he still did as he was told. After all, cultivation was something that had to be done at all times.

Compared to Lilith, Klein, and Eric's ravenous eating, Joe was much more refined. Although he was usually very unrestrained when eating, that was only limited to normal food.

What was on the table now? In addition to magic beast meat, there were also various animal organs, etc. Joe still found these things a little difficult to accept.

As for Klein and the other two, they were much less taboo. When Lilith was on missions, it was good to have something to eat, so she didn't pick and choose at all.

Eric was a blood mage and had seen and eaten all kinds of ingredients. Klein was even more unnecessary to mention. Have you heard of Cantonese people eating Fujianese? He was about the same.

Joe looked at the kidney in Klein's bowl, his brow furrowed. Was it really okay to eat this kind of animal organ?

“Bro, can this be eaten too?”

Klein was busy fighting with Lilith for meat and didn't have time to pay attention to him, but he wasn't as strong as Lilith, so he couldn't win for a while.

“Bear kidney, very nourishing, tastes great.”

Joe looked suspicious.

“Really?!”

Just then, Lilith put down the spoon in her hand and looked outside.

“Wait, someone's coming.”

Klein waved his hand with a smile.

“It's okay, I've set up a silent barrier. The outside world doesn't know we're eating hot pot here at all.”

Lilith nodded, but the gradually approaching footsteps made her stop again.

“Klein, can the silent barrier block the smell?”

“Uh! Of course... no!”

The First Princess Qianhua and Becky moved their noses when they approached Klein's carriage.

“Becky, did you smell a fragrance? It seems like something is burning, it smells so good!”

Becky didn't know how to explain it to Qianhua. She couldn't say that Klein might be secretly cooking again!

“I'm sorry, Your Highness, my sense of smell isn't very good.”

Qianhua frowned slightly and stepped onto Klein's carriage. “Swish!” The curtain of the carriage was opened.

Klein's bear kidney fell off his homemade chopsticks, and the others stopped as well. Time seemed to freeze.

Qianhua looked at Klein and the others' steaming hot pot, then looked at the bread she had been holding in her hand, ready to praise Klein. Suddenly, she felt that the bread in her hand didn't seem so fragrant anymore!
