Chapter 797: Mrs. Claw's Homemade Cookies
Neptune domain.
Overlord Star.
Undersea sanctuary.
The brown and yellow sticky, mud-like drink rolls and bubbles in the exquisite teapot, emitting wisps of smoke.
The Eldar ranger Hagatha Spiritwind and the Void Eldar demon hunter Noct sat on the coral sofas on both sides with strange expressions.
Their intuition was screaming loudly, telling them desperately that they must not drink the stuff in the teapot!
But reason kept emphasizing and reminding them that this was an underwater sanctuary, the private residence of the star domain overlord, Madame Octopus!
As two Golden Boots players who have won the first prize,
The two men knew that being summoned to meet with the Overlord alone meant that the problem was already very serious.
If you refuse the tea again and give a negative comment or two...
I'm afraid it will be an even more serious crime!
So no matter how bad the taste is or how weird the texture is,
You also have to pinch your nose and swallow it all without leaving a drop!
Hagatha and Noct exchanged glances and saw the same belief in each other's eyes.
Just then, a sticky and slippery snapping sound came from the left side of the two.
Mrs. Octopus, dressed in casual home clothes, placed a plate of cookies on the coffee table in front of the two of them.
She opened her mouth wide, revealing two rows of fine teeth:
"Don't be nervous, I called you here not to accuse you, but just to get a deeper understanding of what happened in the Demon Realm at that time."
"The tea still needs to be boiled for a while. You can have some cookies I made first."
Perhaps thinking of someone's previous vigilance, Mrs. Octopus immediately added:
"By the way, I have no interest in Eldar women or Void Spirits, so you can eat these cookies without worry."
Hagatha: “…”
Noct: “…”
Listen to what Mrs. Octopus said.
If there is someone she is interested in among the people present,
So the cookies...will be replaced with added ingredients?!
hiss……
Is this the way the star domain overlord behaves?
Horror!
They both gasped in their hearts, and tacitly pretended nothing had happened. They reached out to the coffee table politely and picked up a small biscuit.
"Looks... quite normal..."
Hagatha swallowed, noticing Madame Octopus's gaze, which was pretending to be casual but actually extremely expectant, she gritted her teeth and put the biscuit into her mouth.
There was no horrible smell like a dead body or smelly socks exploding in the mouth.
The rich aroma of wheat mixed with the light taste of sea salt can even be called delicious!
Hagatha raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to give a compliment, but she saw Noct opposite her had already grabbed the second piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Because of the translucent body structure of the Void, Hagatha could easily see the whole process of the biscuits being crushed in the mouth and then entering the body.
She saw the cookie crumbs mixed with the taste of sea salt quickly transform into tadpole creatures the size of a fingernail as they fell.
They passed through the constraints of the esophagus and stomach wall and quickly moved towards the thinking core of the Void Spirit Clan's chest, which was flickering with a faint light.
But Noct was unaware of this, his attention clearly focused on the delicious cookies.
"Ma'am, I'm not trying to flatter you, but your skill in making cookies is truly amazing!"
"Even a spirit like me who rarely craves for food can hardly resist its charm..."
"If you like it, eat more." Mrs. Octopus smiled even more, and her big mouth opened into an exaggerated arc, as if she might open it and eat people at any time.
When the tadpoles transformed from the cookie crumbs drilled into Noct's mind core, Madam Octopus closed her eyes lightly, as if she was sensing it carefully.
Soon, a satisfied and slightly surprised smile appeared on her face.
"I knew that my little sweetheart must be hiding something from me... Men's words are really lies..."
Madam Octopus slapped her cheeks gently with her plump palms, with a hint of regret in her eyes, like a resentful young woman who had lost her virginity to a heartless man.
Hagatha didn't know whether she should interrupt Madam Octopus when she was mumbling.
But judging from Noct's performance, she felt it necessary to speak up and remind him.
Because the Void Spirit Demon Hunter sitting opposite him had a dull expression on his face.
His pupils were dilated and out of focus, and an unknown liquid that looked like saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
It feels like I was poisoned by Mrs. Octopus's homemade cookies...
"Madam, Noct..." Hagatha looked hesitant.
"It's okay, I just ate too many biscuits. I'll be fine after a rest." Mrs. Octopus seemed to be still immersed in thought and did not explain too much.
The atmosphere was silent.
Only Madame Octopus's tentacles slapped the ground rhythmically, making a series of sticky and slippery snapping sounds.
The star domain overlord did not speak again until the yellow-brown liquid in the teapot stopped bubbling.
She asked Hagatha a question:
"If, I mean if, you see the black shadow that took away Mao Zong's life seed in the Demon Realm again, can you recognize him?"
Hagatha was stunned, then her eyes focused and she said seriously:
"Sure! I'm very impressed with him!"
"And not only his appearance, I also remember his voice and tone clearly!"
Hagasha swore that she would never forget that feeling that made people hate her to the point of itching their teeth and feel so despicable that they could only feel it in their bones!
"It's okay as long as you recognize me. I have a task that I need you to complete." The pensive look on Mrs. Octopus's face disappeared and she became cheerful again.
"Mission? Just give it to me directly?" Hagatha was stunned again.
According to normal procedures, the tasks accepted by the generals are all issued by the Overlord Council.
Depending on the degree of completion, you can go to the parliament to collect the reward.
The Golden Boot winner may be able to skip a few complicated steps, but he still has to hand over the task to Parliament in the end.
It was the first time for Hagatha to receive a mission directly from the star domain overlord.
It must be very important.
"Yes, I will ask the parliament to record it. Since time is tight, we will not follow the normal process."
Mrs. Octopus walked slowly forward, picked up the boiling teapot, and began to add some ingredients of unknown composition into it.
Hearing this, Hagatha became more certain of her guess, and her expression became more serious:
"What is the mission?"
She was ready to go through fire and water.
Even if Madam Octopus asked her to go into the Demon Realm again, Hagatha would not frown.
After all, this is a good opportunity to make amends.
If you complete the task well, you may even get extra rewards.
"Give me a pair of boots." Mrs. Octopus said without turning her head.
"A general has been promoted to a golden boot. Can you help run an errand and deliver it to him?"
"Ah?" Hagatha was completely stunned.
Just a pair of boots?
So simple? !
It's a good thing that she is still thinking about making amends!
Just a pair of boots, how much can it make up for?
and,
Which Golden Boot achieved great success and was promoted to the Brocade Boot?
How could she, a socialite among the Golden Boot winners, not know about this? !
