Chapter 28: This is…
Even though there were only a few short lines of description, Lathel felt extremely happy because he had received a B-rank job.
…
Name: Lathel
Level: 0
Maximum energy points: 1,000
Talent: Earth (D), Thunder (D), Wood (E)
Job: Royal Chef (B), Sculpting Master (B)
Skill: Camouflage (B), Sheath (B)
…
Lathel found it strange that he didn’t feel a headache or see the scene that he saw when he received the Job – Royal Cheaf.
However, that’s good, at least he doesn’t have to suffer from the headache like before.
Looking at the information board filled with only high-ranking skills, occupations, and talents, Lathel felt extremely satisfied.
He wanted to get out of bed, but Charlotte was still holding his arm tightly. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
Lathel thought for a moment and decided to lie still in bed for a while longer. He didn’t want to take away Charlotte’s little peace.
Suddenly, Lathel felt his heart beat faster, he felt like he was going crazy.
‘Not good, am I crazy? Am I interested in a woman who is nearly 70 years old?’
Finally, Lathel decided to gently get out of bed. When he left, Charlotte frowned a bit, then continued to sleep.
Lathel breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he got out of bed, he would wake her up.
When he saw that Charlotte was still sleeping, he left with peace of mind. As soon as the door closed, Charlotte suddenly opened her eyes. She looked towards the door, a bit of loss appeared in her eyes, then she closed her eyes again.
Leaving the castle, Lathel felt the air was fresher. He also wanted to clean up that castle a bit, however, he rejected that idea as soon as he saw its miserable state.
He took out the cauldron, placed it on the three stones he placed yesterday, and started a fire.
“Oy! Are you using me to cook again?” The cauldron shouted angrily.
Lathel sighed: “If you’re going to talk about your past, I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear it.”
“You…” The cauldron was extremely annoyed: “You kids these days are so disrespectful, do you know how much I was worshiped and respected many years ago?”
“Ah! Don’t know, don’t care.”
Cauldron: “…”
…
Karol Empire.
Alec sat on a horse-drawn carriage, and he was extremely excited as he looked outside: “This place is so prosperous; magicians are everywhere, unlike the towns I’ve been through.”
At this moment, another voice rang in Alec’s head: “After all, Karol is the largest and strongest empire of the Dorrack continent, it will be strange if this place is not prosperous.”
Alec smiled and asked: “Master, you said the leader of this empire is the Red Apocalypse Queen, Catheryne, right?”
“That’s right.” His master explained: “When I was alive, more than 150 years ago, Catheryne was the one who wiped out all the enemies.
“Then, in just 50 years, she transformed the Karol kingdom, which was on the brink of the abyss, into the greatest dynasty on this continent.”
“Incredible.” Alec silently groaned: “So… is she still alive now?”
“Of course.” His master explained: “The higher a person’s level, the longer the lifespan, and the longer their appearance will be preserved.”
“Moreover, because she is protected by the Phoenix God, she will never age.”
“There are also rumors that every once in a while, she will be reborn like a phoenix. Each time she reincarnates, her power will increase significantly.”
“However, that is just a rumor; no one has yet confirmed whether the rumor is true or false.”
Alec rubbed his chin, his face showing a slightly greedy smile.
“Are you planning to…” Alec’s master suddenly realized what Alec was thinking.
“Hahaha… master, you guessed right. I feel very interested in Catheryne.” Alec smiled and said very confidently: “Well? No?”
“Hahaha… of course.”
“Hmm? Master, you told me that women will only slow down my growth, why do you agree now?”
“Stupid!” His master shouted: “Useless women are like flower vases, of course they will slow down your growth.”
“But Catheryne is different. If you can make her your woman, whatever resources you want, she will easily provide them for you.”
“Besides… hahaha… Catheryne is protected by the Phoenix God. If she becomes your woman, you can also use the power of the Phoenix.” 𝑖𝘳.𝒸ℴ𝑚
“Really?” Alec shouted excitedly.
“Okay, don’t daydream too much. The first goal is to become a Pharmacist enchanter. Catheryne is too far away from you, don’t think about her.”
“Huh! Surely she will belong to me in the future.”
“Ah! Where did you get that confidence from?”
“Hahaha… my intuition says so.” Alec said, smiling.
His master sighed: “Okay, don’t put too much of your attention on women, focus on your goal, and women will automatically be attracted to you.”
Alec nodded, then continued to observe the prosperity of the Karol empire through the window of the carriage.
The carriage traveled for about an hour, arriving at an extremely large road, perhaps equivalent to a 16-lane road on Earth.
Alec got off the carriage because, from here, people could only walk.
He stood at the beginning of the road, and looked towards the end of the road. On both sides of the road were extremely magnificent and luxurious buildings.
Alec looked to the end of the road, in the distance was a tower as tall as a small mountain.
“Boy…” His master’s voice rang out: “This is called Enchanter Road, that tower is called Enchanter Tower.”
“This is where the greatest Enchanters of the Karol Empire gather. If you become an Enchanter, or even an Enchanter of the Enchanter Tower, you can get your hands on the vast resources of the Enchanter Tower.”
As Alec heard what his master said, his eyes showed fighting spirit and confidence like a burning fire.
“Master, don’t worry. I will definitely make you proud.”
“Um… I trust you. There are still 10 days left until the Enchanter Congress. During this time, you should try to buy more medicinal herbs to strengthen yourself.”
“I understand.” Alec took a step, stepping on the Enchanter path, his heart became extremely excited as if his life had just begun.
…
Back to Lathel, at this time, he was watching over his cauldron of soup, he was sitting on the ground, and using a rather sharp piece of stone that he made himself to cut pieces of wood into strange shapes.
“Cauldron…” Suddenly, Lathel spoke: “What do you think I should do next after leaving this place?”
“Hm?! Do you want to leave this place?” The cauldron felt a bit surprised.
Lathel: “…”
“Do you think I want to stay here forever?”
“It’s also true. But I don’t know what your plans are, so how can I give you advice? Ah! The water is boiling.” Cauldron who was speaking suddenly shouted.
Lathel heard that and quickly approached Cauldron, the soup in the cauldron was indeed boiling. He quickly used a wooden ladle to stir the soup in the cauldron.
Lathel stirred and said: “My purpose is very simple. Explore this world, see beautiful sights, learn magic, marry 10 beautiful wives, and live comfortably until death.”
“You…” the cauldron felt a little confused and asked: “Your potential is extremely huge, the energy you possess is also very special, why do you think of such a boring life?”
“Boring?” Lathel frowned. He tasted some soup and felt it was okay so he put the lid on the cauldron.
“Cauldron, sometimes the life you talk about is boring… My own idea of life is extremely wonderful.” He sighed and said, his words carrying a lot of emotions as if he had gone through countless sufferings in life.
“It’s up to you.” The cauldron felt like it couldn’t convince Lathel to listen to what he wanted: “I suggest you go to the magic academy in the Karol empire.”
“Why?” Lathel asked while focusing on sculpting the wooden blocks.
“You also heard what Charlotte said, the Karol Empire is currently the largest empire on this continent. If you want a safe place to do those boring things, Karol is the best place.”
“Besides… there is no place with enough resources and knowledge to help you become a good magician like the magic academy.”
“However… hm… more than 10,000 years have passed, I don’t know if magic practitioners still exist.”
Lathel nodded: “That’s also a good idea. After all, there are many beautiful female magicians in magic schools.”
Cauldron: “…”
“Oy! Does your life just revolve around flirting with pretty girls?”
“Actually…” Lathel frowned and said: “I only flirt with pretty girls, I’m not interested in very pretty or angelic girls.”
That’s right, girls who are very beautiful, or so beautiful that they make others fall in love, are the female protagonists.
If he dares to touch them… hahaha… he will definitely be killed by the male protagonist.
Lathel felt that girls like that, will definitely not be interested in any other man other than the male lead.
Besides… The system also has rules that he could not violate.
“You… you are so strange.” Lathel shrugged, refusing to comment, then continued carving wooden blocks.
The cauldron didn’t speak either, as he quietly observed Lathel.
Time passed very quickly. In the afternoon, Lathel finally finished his work.
In fact, he didn’t need to eat too much, one meal a day was enough. The energy inside his body could help him survive without eating.
He cooked because he wanted to enjoy the taste of food.
After all, he is a modern person, and his need for enjoyment is also very great.
…
Inside the castle, in the living room. Charlotte had woken up, and Lathel didn’t know when.
She sat in the same position, looking outside with indifferent eyes, without any other emotions.
It seemed like she was like a machine or a statue, and her job was to sit in this place.
“Don’t you feel bored sitting like this?”
Lathel stood opposite her, however, she didn’t seem to pay attention to him and only looked out the window.
He sighed, then placed a plate of soup and two strange cakes on the table.
Charlotte was attracted by the aroma of the soup and the two cakes, she immediately turned her attention to them.
Charlotte looked at two cakes made in the shape of two small pink rabbits. Each cake was lined with two large leaves, making them extremely adorable.
“This is…”
