No. 1 was trimming the plants in the garden. Originally, it was dedicated to serving Sanders, but it had been a long time since it had seen its master leave the house.
During this time, it had reverted to the situation where Sanders was absent for decades.
Trimming the plants, cleaning the house…other than occasionally helping the Kulakuka tribe deliver food and water, there were hardly any changes.
Early in the morning, young Master Pat left the house. With nothing to do, No. 1 started the boring trimming work again.
As it was trimming the plants, a girl of medium stature suddenly appeared at the entrance of the house, accompanied by black and white butterflies.
No. 1 hurriedly arrived in front of the study, speaking to the closed door: “Master, there is a guest outside.”
After a long while, a tired voice came from inside: “Don’t see them.”
No. 1 complied and prepared to go out to explain to the girl.
However, as soon as it turned around, it saw a girl in a purple cloak standing behind it.
“Sanders, an old friend is visiting, and you won’t come out to see them?” The girl ignored No. 1’s obstruction and went straight to the door of the study.
After a while, Sanders’s voice came from inside: “Is it you? What are you doing here?”
“Won’t you let me in to sit down?” The girl finished speaking, but there was no response. She rolled her eyes and pushed the door open directly.
Seeing the girl push the door, No. 1 immediately flew forward to try to stop her.
“Didn’t you see that your master didn’t stop me?” The girl said indifferently, waved No. 1 away, and entered the study.
No. 1 wanted to follow in, but as soon as it flew to the door of the study, it was bounced out by a gentle force field. Then it heard Sanders’s voice: “Close the door.”
Bang.
With the door closed, No. 1 stood at the door for a while, then flew away from the study and returned to the garden to trim the plants again. However, passing wizards saw this and couldn’t help but wonder: Was it their illusion that this Magic Eye housekeeper looked very disappointed? Did Magic Eyes have emotions too?
Not mentioning No. 1’s disappointment, when the girl entered the study, she saw Sanders sitting in the shadows with a pale face, and couldn’t help but pause: “You look a bit…”
“What do you want? Why did you come to see me?” Before she could finish, Sanders didn’t raise his head but interrupted directly.
The girl tilted her head, feigning confusion: “Do you recognize who I am?”
“Gloria, you’ve stepped onto the path of true knowledge; do you identify people solely by their appearance?”
Gloria smiled and didn’t get angry at the sarcasm in Sanders’ words: “I do have some business with you, but…” Gloria paused, a probing look in her eyes, carefully examining Sanders’ current condition: “But I’ve noticed you seem to be having some issues.”
Sanders said indifferently: “It’s none of your concern; just state your purpose. However, I should inform you in advance that I probably won’t have any free time for the next hundred years.”
“Soul mutation and displaced host?” Gloria suddenly looked puzzled.
Sanders’ expression turned cold instantly; he reached out and grabbed Gloria’s throat from a distance: “Did you come to me just to seek death?”
“Cough, cough… I… just changed my body and haven’t returned to the level of a wizard yet; are you planning to strangle me?” Gloria said, gasping for breath and struggling to speak.
Sanders released his hand, but his aura was focused on Gloria, full of killing intent.
Gloria felt slightly better and gasped: “I have no intention of probing into your secrets, but my current state allows me to sense some of your situation.”
Sanders’ eyes narrowed slightly, with a faint green light flickering. In his eyes, Gloria’s soul realm was completely exposed.
Besides Gloria’s soul itself, he also saw a trembling, weak soul.
Upon seeing this, Sanders confirmed that she wasn’t lying and snorted coldly: “You’ve taken someone else’s body but didn’t destroy her soul; no wonder your spirit and flesh are unstable, and your strength recovers slowly.”
Gloria shrugged: “I came to find you to ask for your help in resolving this issue.”
“A mere apprentice-level soul can be destroyed with a flick of your hand; do you need me to do it?” Sanders said indifferently: “Unless you’re not seeking that kind of solution.”
Gloria nodded: “That’s right; I want you to help me recover my body. I prefer my original body over this bean sprout.”
“No time. Besides, our relationship isn’t that close.”
Gloria giggled: “Of course, I wouldn’t come empty-handed. If you help me recover my body, I can lend you this body for two hundred years. Her talent is also in the gourmet department, which I trained; she’s only a step away from becoming an official wizard… What do you think of this condition?”
In the wizard world, having a gourmet wizard as a chef is a matter of pride. Even a wizard apprentice is highly regarded. Furthermore, gourmet wizards are extremely rare. The reason the No Eyed Man in the Twilight Auction could sell for a sky-high price was because of this.
You should know that so far, there has been no gourmet wizard in the Savage Grottoes. Even the gourmet apprentices are few, and they all aspire to leave the Savage Grottoes and join the Candy House to become a true gourmet wizard. The reason is that there is no gourmet lineage in the Savage Grottoes.
A giant figure in the gourmet world today, using their trained disciples for exchange, is indeed a very generous offer.
Without mentioning the face value, just making up for the lack of gourmet lineage in the Savage Grottoes can play a significant role.
Gloria believes that Sanders should be able to see the value contained in this offer.
However, “No, I don’t have time.” Sanders could see the value in it, but he was not altruistic and had no intention of contributing to the lack of gourmet lineage in the Savage Grottoes.
Gloria’s expression stiffened, completely unexpected that Sanders would flatly refuse.
“Are you sure you won’t reconsider?” Gloria frowned: “Finding a physical body for me might be difficult for others, but for you…”
“I said I don’t have time, take care, goodbye.” Sanders directly waved and opened the door.
Gloria didn’t leave but hesitated for a while. After several changes of expression, she finally made up her mind: “If you’re not satisfied with this condition, I’ll change it.”
Sanders raised his head, quietly looking at her, waiting for her to continue.
“I can help you solve the situation of soul body mutation. You know, my unique spell ‘Genesis.’ I can use your energy and your hetero body’s energy to create a dish that will solve your problem.”
As Gloria spoke, Sanders, who had always been expressionless, finally cracked a smile.
The reason he let Gloria in was that he wanted to hear this sentence.
His problem, though suppressed over the past month, was ultimately a hidden danger. Without solving it at its root: “he” might suddenly appear someday.
And he hadn’t had any idea how to solve the problem until Gloria arrived.
Initially, he was thinking about how to bring it up actively, but since Gloria was actively seeking his help and he saw her urgency, he decided to go along with it.
“You are willing to use half a century of time to deduce and regain that original Meat Mountain. It seems that you really cherish it.” Sanders said indifferently.
“Meat Mountain? Oh, no. That’s plump, it’s sexy.” Gloria protested discontentedly, then said seriously: “So? I wasted a precious opportunity to deduce, if you don’t agree, then I can’t do anything.”
Outsiders knew that the symbol of Gloria stepping onto the path of true knowledge was the creation of the food-related spell “Genesis.” But in fact, only a very few people knew that this “Genesis” was actually composed of two parts, one being “Creation,” and the other being “Life.”
What Gloria mostly revealed was “Genesis-Life,” such as Fragment Ephemera, Twisted Protozoa, and even Toby, which were all born in this spell.
But the most extraordinary part of Gloria’s spell is “Genesis-Creation,” which is a spell almost on par with the “Mysterious Realm,” capable of creating various novel and bizarre recipes, and can even deduce related recipes from desired effects. The invaluable “Fragment Ephemera” was deduced through “Genesis-Creation.”
However, this spell also has limitations, as Gloria cannot deduce recipes beyond her horizons, and the recipes she deduces are almost all one-time, only having auxiliary effects. Most importantly, the cooldown of this spell starts at fifty years.
The more difficult the recipe, the longer the time. The Fragment Ephemera, this **dish, took Gloria nearly a hundred years to deduce.
Even with many limitations, Gloria’s “Genesis” spell is definitely the most adaptable auxiliary spell that Sanders has ever seen.
Sanders still remembers when this “Genesis” was first completed, the heavenly visions that day were simply startling.
Gloria also stepped high-profile into the path of true knowledge because of this, and completely took up the banner of the food series, making the Candy House a sacred place for food wizards to aspire to.
The secrets within, Sanders learned unintentionally.
Others may not be able to solve his problem, but “Genesis-Creation” definitely can!
“Okay.” Sanders finally nodded and agreed.
Seeing Sanders agreed, Gloria also showed a smile: “Since you agreed, you have to help me find ** even more. Without ** support, I can’t release the Genesis spell.”
Seeing Gloria’s expression, Sanders suddenly felt uneasy: “Where is your **?”
Gloria whispered: “Nightmare Plane.”
…
As Gloria’s narration unfolded, Sanders understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Upon observing the battles Gloria had in the Nightmare Plane, it was evident that the highest level was occupied by legendary creatures. It could be inferred that the area Gloria fell into did not belong to the core region but was likely a peripheral area similar to the outskirts of Black Castle.
Upon hearing Sanders’ assessment, Gloria was shocked: A legendary creature and dozens of near-legendary creatures are merely part of the Nightmare Plane’s peripheral area? If this is considered the outskirts, what could the core area be like?
If Sanders could hear Gloria’s thoughts, he would probably reply: “Don’t you already know what the core area is like?” The place where he and Angel met was Gloria’s Barbie’s Restaurant, where Angel openly discussed the circumstances of his talent test in front of everyone. And the place where Angel went to was, without a doubt, the core area of the Nightmare Plane!
After analyzing the situation for Gloria, Sanders had a troubled expression.
Gloria hid her physical body, and entering the area would not be a problem, but stealing her body back from a legendary creature would not be easy. Moreover, even if she successfully retrieved her body, taking something out of the Nightmare Plane was not guaranteed.
If he could have taken out the —Singularity Scattering Meditation Method— earlier, there would have been no need for Angel to venture into the Nightmare Plane again.
Unless Gloria went there herself or perhaps…
The image of Angel flashed through Sanders’ mind as he pondered the situation.
