Chapter 281 The real main mission?

The fat belly seemed to burst the brown velvet servant's clothes he was wearing. His round face was big and wide, and there were traces of flour on it. His gray eyes dodged when he saw Renly's gaze. Sometimes he mustered up the courage to look up, but then immediately looked down at his toes.

Next to the fat boy was a girl of the same age dressed as a kitchen helper. Opposite the fat boy, Renly was chewing a piece of white bread in his hand, which was obviously burnt, expressionlessly. Next to him was a brown-haired old man dressed as a chef, nodding and explaining something - it was obvious that this was the kitchen.

"It was Master Sam who wanted to come here to learn cooking, Your Majesty. We didn't actively seduce him. The one next to him is just a little helper in our kitchen. He has just arrived and doesn't know any rules. He is not one of us."

This made the little fat man's face red, and the girl of the same age with freckles on her face next to him turned pale. She stood there, pinching the corner of her linen shirt with her fingers, her eyes were timid and panicked.

Renly did not respond to the words of the old chef next to him. While eating the bread in his hand, he kept looking at the boy and girl in the corner. There was no emotion on his face, and no one could know what he was thinking.

However, this expressionless look alone was already very scary. His status and the majestic characteristics derived from his etiquette skills made the spacious kitchen here silent. Not far away, across a long chopping board table full of ingredients, a group of cooks huddled in a corner, frightened and dared not breathe. When they looked at the old cook and the female helper next to the fat attendant, their eyes were also full of pity.

However, what surprised Renly was that his cowardly servant who came with him from the Tully family in the River Bay seemed particularly courageous at this moment.

"Yes, I want to learn how to make bread. Don't blame others, sir!"

Sam said so. Although his eyes were fixed on his toes while speaking, and his voice was full of trembling and unnatural sharpness, it was worth Renly's deep thought. Although this guy's tone was cowardly, he had made great progress.

What gave this coward courage?

Was it the seed of power that made him stronger, or the love next to him that was scared silly?

Chewing the white bread slowly, the taste was not very good, that is, dry and full of burnt smell, but the absent-minded Renly did not pay attention to this food that was obviously made by a rookie.

Courage came and went quickly. Sam on the opposite side dared not say anything after saying that sentence, just staring at his toes, and others around him did not dare to speak casually either.

The brown-haired old cook next to Renly was now trembling with fear and secretly glancing at the young figure next to him whose reputation was both terrifying and admirable. He felt that he would be eaten by a lion at any time.

He was also secretly complaining.

In addition to being a lord and noble, the man in front of him was also a knight, and everyone knew that the knight's squire would also become a knight in the future, but the fat boy came to learn cooking from them...

Although the chef was a very good profession in the eyes of the common people, with no worries about food and clothing, and no worries about lack of job opportunities, it was not at all in the eyes of the nobles.

Now he, a cook, actually kidnapped a knight's squire to come and learn cooking, which seemed to have bad intentions. However, what made the old man feel wronged was that he didn't take the initiative at the beginning, but the little fat guy begged him to teach him...

Thinking about it, the old cook suddenly found that the man next to him didn't seem to care much about the fat servant, but his eyes were always on the female kitchen helper next to the servant. This made the old man think, could this man like this girl?

The girl next to the fat servant was actually the daughter of one of his relatives, not a "temporary worker". The reason why he agreed to let the little fat guy come to squat and didn't drive him away was because the old man found that the little fat guy got along very well with his niece. He thought that this might bring him closer to the little fat guy from aristocratic family - in the Red Castle, relationships are too important.

But now...

The old cook rolled his eyes, and he didn't feel uneasy or worried about someone bullying men and women. Instead, he looked forward to it.

If the niece is really liked by the adult next to him, no matter whether she can become his long-term lover, even if it's just once, it's a great opportunity!

Who in Junlin doesn't know the name of the cold-blooded duke? No matter who you are, he is always merciless and his methods are particularly cruel.

In this case, who dares to provoke this man who has been on the road?

Ordinary people should give him some face. If nothing else, at least when he opens a shop, there may be hooligans who dare to blackmail him. Which golden robe dare not pay attention to him?

There are many benefits here!

It would be even better if he had an illegitimate child. Although illegitimate children and unmarried pregnant women are generally looked down upon, this also depends on the person. How can the illegitimate children of ordinary nobles be the same as the illegitimate children of the Minister of Justice? Anyone who dares to look down on him is mentally ill? Ordinary people can't even fawn on him!

However, I haven't heard of any "scandals" about this person next to me for so many years. Not long ago, I seemed to have heard someone say that this person probably doesn't like women. Then this...

In less than a minute, the old cook thought of so many things. It can only be said that being in the center of power in the Red Castle, even an old man is very unwilling to be lonely.

It's a pity that he thought too much. How could Renly look down on an ordinary little girl who looked less than fourteen years old and didn't even dare to talk to him?

The reason why he paid so much attention to the girl was actually very simple——

The other party has traces of power seeds on him!

This seems to prove that something bad has happened, but Renly does not think that his seeds have been stolen. In fact, most of his power seeds are hidden in Dragonstone, and a small part of them are brought to King's Landing and have been tightly locked. In addition to him having the key, even his confidant Tob cannot open the wooden box containing the seeds.

At the same time, the power seeds in the girl's body are not as vibrant as he gave them. Instead, they are as weak as the weakened version, and it can even be said that there is only a trace of them, which is obviously not what he remembered.

Why did this happen?

After swallowing the bread in his hand completely, Renly actually knew the answer.

The brave and timid little fat man in front of him, after being given the seeds, awakened the "profession" of 80% to be a cook, but this cook is not simple, because the food he made contains a weakened version of "power seeds"!

Because of his special immunity, Renly cannot absorb this kind of power, but he can clearly sense the existence of this kind of thing. At the same time, he also realized that although the power seeds in the food are not as good as his power seeds, the nature is similar!

In other words, this power can grow, but it is "congenitally underdeveloped".

Turning his eyes back to the fat servant cowering in the corner of the kitchen, Renly was secretly amazed.

He only had more than a hundred seeds of power in his hand. At the same time, it might be that the "gate" that was opened was being automatically repaired by this world. The frequency of the birth of ancient road seeds in recent years has become lower and lower, so the number of power seeds as derivatives of ancient road seeds has naturally slowed down.

Obviously, the number of power seeds that can finally reach him is limited and it is impossible to be inexhaustible. However, this little fat man who was just a little fat man who was turned over by the way at the beginning seems to have become an inexhaustible "treasure house"!

Can only say that he is worthy of being the "protagonist" in the original book, and he is so extraordinary once he awakens.

Then what will happen if this person is arranged to cook in the military camp?

Groups of "professionals"?

Renly couldn't help thinking about this question, and he also didn't forget what he encountered before-

Why did sublimation suddenly increase? It might be because of the awakening of the little fat man in front of him.

The reason for this conclusion is very simple. When sublimation appeared and increased by 25% at once, it seemed that it was when the wolf disaster in the riverland began to wreak havoc.

The relationship between the two is probably that both can be sustainable?

Long-term intelligence gathering has allowed Renly to understand the situation of werewolves in the riverland to some extent. Why did all kinds of disasters happen there? Naturally, it is because the number of werewolves is increasing, and even forming a tribe.

This is obviously different from ordinary individual alienated monsters.

And if this Samwell exists, then without Renly's power seed, there will obviously be more and more "professionals" in this world.

"So, making the world more fantastic, or the possibility of higher magic, can improve sublimation?"

Renly thought secretly.

Samwell's awakening obviously increases the possibility of making this world more "high magic", so sublimation can be greatly improved. The specific situation of the werewolves is not clear, but it is estimated that it should be similar to the current situation.

So, if I kill Samwell now, will the percentage of sublimation decrease?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Renly's eyes changed when he looked at the fat servant. It seemed that he was sensitive, so the other party trembled all over, and then his neck shrank even lower. Unfortunately, it was useless.

Under Renly's call, whether he was willing or not, the little fat man could only tremble and follow his master to turn around and leave this kitchen.

...

Of course, Renly would not really kill Sam. Apart from anything else, the power seed is similar to the ancient road seed. Although there is no experimental proof, it is obvious that the power seed in a person's body will not disappear after death, but will lie dormant and wait for a new owner.

So, when Samwell awakens and the seed in his body is shaped, it means that the world is destined to change because of this.

What Renly thought more about at this time was, would this be one of the evidences that the current world is a "copy" as he had guessed before?

Is it his mission to sublimate this world?
