Chapter 2197 Orc Curse Chapter 59
The joy of the celebration continued late into the night. It was the first time I had experienced my own taste buds and tasted something delicious, which sparked endless curiosity.

The herbivorous beastmen learned to cook, so they dumped everything edible into the pot and stewed it all together in an attempt to create some new delicacies.

The result was, of course, a failure. Being able to eat doesn't mean being able to cook, let alone the fact that this was the first time the herbivorous beastman had a proper "meal," and most of what he made was a culinary disaster, a terrible mushy mess.

Herbivorous beastmen cherish food extremely, so this terrible gruel naturally ended up in their mouths without a single bit being wasted.

Dali Feizhuan was somewhat worried about the Great Beast God Priest, fearing that the Great Beast God Priest might have noticed something. Beast King Lottie Sandrak assured her not to worry, and even sent stewed vermicelli to the Great Beast God Priest, fearing that the Great Beast God Priest might not know.

Because Beast King Lottie Sandrac studied under the priest, she understood the Great Beast God's priests' modus operandi. The Great Beast God priests would regularly, or in case of emergencies, report to the high priests of the four clans who were directly under the Great Beast God, namely Sandrac, and then the high priests would report to the Great Beast God.

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, aimed to spread the "Cuisine" to the Sandrak clan through the words of the Great Beast God Priests. This action was, of course, fraught with risk. If the Great Beast God Priests, or even the Great Beast God himself, judged that the "Cuisine" also belonged to human civilization and directly labeled the Giant Hoof tribe as rebellious, then war would begin.

But the risk is worthwhile, as the deliciousness brought by the Great Beast God Priest and the Sandrak Clan will spread to all the orc tribes through the [Cooking].

Compared to herbivorous orcs who are only now learning about "deliciousness," carnivorous orcs have been doing so for a long time.

Unlike herbivorous beastmen who have a large quantity but few varieties of food, carnivorous beastmen's diet, though dangerous, is also incredibly delicious. Birds and beasts each have their own unique flavor and freshness.

There's a saying that goes, top-quality ingredients only need simple cooking to bring out their original flavor. Long before the Great Beast God unified the orcs into a whole, the carnivorous orcs had already discovered the original deliciousness.

Besides pursuing the raw taste, carnivorous orcs also seek the power contained within the flesh and blood of powerful monsters. The flesh and blood of powerful monsters are not only delicious but also possess power; you are what you eat.

Why mention the carnivorous orcs' pursuit of delicious food? This brings us to the topic of desire.

Desire itself is neither good nor bad; at most, it amplifies the beauty and happiness that can be pursued in life. The pursuit of power and delicious food is the beauty and happiness of carnivorous beastmen.

Some carnivorous orcs restrain their desires, while others are consumed by them.

The vast majority of carnivorous beastmen consumed by desire died on their way to challenge powerful monsters, which can be considered a worthy death. However, some carnivorous beastmen consumed by desire degenerate and choose to communally devour each other.

The majority of the ghouls are carnivorous, seeking the forbidden flavors and power of their own kind's flesh and blood.

The delicious dishes, which also have enhancing effects, are what Beast King Lottie Sandrak wants to offer to the carnivorous beastmen—whether they want to accept them or not.

The decision they made in the face of this choice allowed them to distinguish which of the remaining Beast Kings was absolutely impossible to coexist with, and which would devour the Beast King together.

In addition, there is the inevitability of the food being exposed.

Beast Queen Lottie Sandrak wants to unite all the herbivorous beastmen. She promises rebellion, even at the cost of a better life, so the herbivorous beastmen must know what that life is like.

Dali Feizhuan remained silent in the face of this answer; he was constantly rediscovering the world.

In other games, when a seemingly crucial mission begins, it's always the player who's busy running around and facing difficulties, while the NPCs who issue the mission and say they'll work together actually do nothing. They only pop up when the player completes the mission and say, "We worked together to save the world."

Here, both Beast King Lottie Sandrak and the other orcs were actively engaged in their tasks, and if he wasn't quick enough, they could even handle things themselves. "Honestly, they're even trying to steal our jobs from us professional protagonists," Mighty Brick chuckled, shaking his head. He couldn't let the player community down.

The affairs of the orcish region are indeed more suitable to be handled by Beastmaster Lottie Sandrak, and there are also things that players can do.

Dali Feizhuan arrived at the border post of the Holy Cross Kingdom, where the Fairy Kingdom's enthusiasts had previously rented the Fast-Walking Ostrich.

After making a deal with Hermes's Traveling Hat, he learned that the inn also had a small teleportation tower, which was only available to guests registered with Hermes's Traveling Hat.

This news gave Dali Feizhuan a boost of confidence. Including the post stations, the teleportation tower network of [Hermes' Traveler's Hat] has a fairly dense coverage, which is more than enough for players' daily needs.

An unexpected bonus is that the inn's teleportation tower has a built-in map unlocking function; gaining the approval of [Hermes' Traveler's Hat] is a hidden quest that unlocks the map.

Dali Feizhuan came here to report to Herbie. Although he didn't like Herbie, the young shop assistant, and was wary of him, it was true that Herbie had generously provided them with a lot of help.

All they could do was try to exchange benefits as much as possible, so as not to owe Herbie any favors and prevent Herbie from demanding returns in other ways in the future.

After listening to the detailed report from Mighty Flying Brick, Herbie showed a very sincere, but in Mighty Flying Brick's eyes, it looked completely fake and cute.

"I see, the Giant Hoof Tribe's celebration? That's wonderful, I really want to see it too, especially the stewed vermicelli and the herbivorous beastmen's original dishes."

“You can try it.” Dali Feizhuan immediately took a bowl of porridge from the warehouse and pushed it in front of Herbie.

【The Marvelous Cuisine of the Giant Hoof Tribe 1/1】

The ingredients for this dish are a small amount of edible vegetarian food and a lot of curiosity.

Dali Feizhuan thought Herbie wouldn't eat it, but Herbie didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the bowl and gulped down everything in it.

Fortunately, the herbivores didn't use any seasonings. They simply poured all sorts of vegetarian food into a pot and cooked it. It was all-natural and had no additives. It looked a bit ugly, but it didn't taste so bad that it was hard to swallow.

Herbie let out a burp, put down his bowl, and thought that this would surely make her less wary of him.

As a result, Dali Feizhuan had a look on his face that said, "If she can eat this, this child must not be allowed to live." It turned out that no matter whether she drank it or not, Dali Feizhuan would not believe her.

"Alright, here's what you wanted."

Herbie took out a document and handed it to Mighty Flying Brick, his expression turning serious.

"The group of strangers who call themselves Azazel that you are investigating may be doing something quite dangerous."
