Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 121 Angel of Abundance
At the end of the "Holy Election Ceremony", all the saints turned around and left with the newly-elevated saints.

In the distance, the gate of the magnificent, miraculous, sweet candy castle slowly opened, revealing the colorful food piled up inside.

Above the sky, pink clouds continued to circle slowly.

The colorful bubbles floated down again, carrying with them all kinds of delicious food.

All the residents shouted excitedly.

While eating delicious food, everyone's eyes were filled with carefree satisfaction.

"Sir, can we... take others with us to the Holy Land of the Angel of Plenty?"

Lake looked at the saint who gave badges to herself and Poro and asked.

The saint turned around and looked at the veteran Invi, as well as Hansel and Gretel below. After a moment's thought, he asked:
"How's your cooking, sir?"

Then he pointed at Lake and Poro and said, "Can you also make the food we just mentioned?"

"will not."

Hearing the old soldier's concise answer, the saint shook his head regretfully and said:
"I'm sorry, sir. The Angel of Plenty will not allow you to enter the Holy Land."

As he said this, he looked at Hansel and Gretel again.

The two children were eating cake, their round eyes looking at the candy castle in the distance, revealing their undisguised yearning and longing.

The saint smiled and said:

"However, Lord Angel of Plenty welcomes the children. You two little ones, with the guarantee of these two new saints, will have the opportunity to enter together."

Upon hearing these words, Hansel and Gretel's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

"Great!"

The brother and sister spoke subconsciously, but then froze for a moment, looked at Lake and Poro, and paused for a moment, focusing on the Poro with the appearance of their father, and asked in a low voice:

"May I, sir?"

Looking at the expressions of the two children, Lake and Poro wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Of course you can, but after you go... don't run around everywhere."

On the other side, the veteran also waved to Lake and Poro:
"It's okay, go ahead, I'll give you that..."

"I remember that, Mr. Invi, don't worry, we will help you."

Lake put her hand into her arms, touched something, then nodded and said.

"Thank you both. Danse and I will be waiting in the city."

The old soldier nodded and turned to leave.

"Let's go and check out the Candy...Castle?"

Lake rubbed the two children's heads, nodded to the saint who led the way, and then followed the crowd towards the castle in the distance.

Colorful fruit juice floats in the castle's moat.

The bridge over the moat is also made of chocolate and hard candy, but it does not break when you step on it and appears to be very sturdy.

This time, there are as many as thirty new saints selected from hundreds of people.

Everyone stared intently at the delicious food piled up like a castle around them.

They couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

When passing by the castle wall, Lake and Poro looked at each other. Lake quickly stretched out her hand towards the wall and pressed a few fingers hard -

"Click——"

With a crisp sound, a whole sugar brick was actually picked off.

"Hey, this is a holy place—"

A newly promoted saint saw this scene, opened his eyes wide, and couldn't help but speak.

The other saints also looked stunned.

"It's ok."

But at this time, the old saint who led the way laughed and said, "Delicious food is meant to be eaten. This is what the Angel of Plenty has always thought. If you want to eat it, you can."

As he spoke, the missing candy pieces from the castle wall had been restored.

Just like all food.

Upon hearing this, the other newly-minted saints immediately showed joy on their faces. They thanked the Angel of Plenty repeatedly and also lost their reserve. They reached out their hands to take candies from the castles around them and put them into their mouths.

Most of the people here, through the "Holy Chosen Ceremony", not only have faith in the Angel of Fertility, but more importantly, they yearn for this miraculous castle.

A castle built entirely of delicious food is right before your eyes.

Most people who are ambitious want to give it a try.

Of course, Lake and Poro did not do this just to "taste" the candy. They divided the candy in their hands into two small pieces and handed them to Hansel and Gretel beside them.

Then open your mouth and place the remaining two parts in your mouth.

"How's it going? Poro? Is it ready?"

Lake looked at Poro while chewing the fruit candy in her mouth.

“It tastes good, sweet…”

Poro replied.

"Indeed, I think so too... Wait, Poro, you know that's not what I'm asking!"

The girl yelled with a squint.

"Okay, okay, don't be so anxious."

Poro shrugged and spread out his hands. The golden page of the book that only the two of them could see reappeared, and on it was still the candy house with a fairy-tale style.

[Return of the Ring: Candy House Dessert Feast]

"We may still be a little short, but now that we've confirmed the location, the difficulty has been reduced a lot."

The words "ritual completed" did not appear on it, and the corresponding fairy tale power was still in an "unknown" state.

But some new clues have emerged.

[Unsealing Ceremony: Find the candy house hidden deep in the jungle and taste the delicacies that make up the candy house]

[Unsealing Ceremony Completion Progress 1/10]

[Completed: Candy Apple Wall]

[Oh, this green sugar brick... tastes like green apple! ]

"Looks like we have to try some other flavors as well."

Poro said.

Lake thought for a moment, then took out a piece of candy with colorful patterns from her arms and handed it to Poro:

"How about trying this?"

Poro put the candy in his mouth, a piece of hard candy, another style of mixed flavor.

[Unsealing Ceremony Completion Progress 2/10]

[Completed: Candy Apple Wall, Candy Cane Fence]

[Hmm, it tastes good. This candy cane guardrail has a unique flavor too!]

“It seems like a simple request.”

Poro smiled, "Looking from outside, I can see that the candy components of this castle's exterior are more than ten!"

As the two were talking, a brightly lit lobby appeared in front of them.

More than thirty old saints were already waiting there.

And standing next to them were human-shaped gingerbreads?!

No, that's not right!

Poro's eyes widened as he discovered that those gingerbread men that looked like sculptures were actually moving, and their moving limbs did not look stiff at all!
The gingerbread people held folded gold and white saint's robes in their hands.

The saints respectfully took the saint's robes from the gingerbread man and handed them to each visitor.

Even the Hansel and Gretel siblings brought by Poro and Reike were given smaller robes.

This made Poro feel a little more wary of this "Angel of Abundance" or the person in the Candy Castle.

The robe is loose fitting and can be draped directly over the body.

There was some kind of magic cast on it, it was spotless and without a single wrinkle.

Afterwards, another door carved from chocolate opened.

It was a larger room. The candies around it were still gleaming faintly, and the transparent colorful neon lights filled the entire space.

The aroma of the food becomes more and more intense.

In front of me, there are several long dining tables placed in the middle of the room. The knives, forks, bowls and plates are shining golden and red under the candlelight, and all kinds of delicious food are placed on them.

The saints guided those who came to sit down.

Poro scanned the entire venue and found that there were nearly a hundred people including the new saint.

"Uh, how many saints came here before you, Sweet?"

Poro patted the fat townsman on the other side. The townsman was still immersed in joy, but was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Poro and looked confused.

"Oh, there are at least a thousand people, right?"

The fat townsman came back to his senses and said.

"So the number of saints here is not all there is?"

After listening to this, Poro pondered for a moment and made a judgment.

"That's not the case, my friend."

At this time, a saint seemed to have heard the conversation between several people and walked over.

Poro noticed that the saint emblem on the chest of the newcomer was slightly different from the saint he had seen before. The chocolate had fine lines on it and a special glow.

A number, thirty-two.

"Then why?"

Poro thought for a moment, then asked, "I haven't heard of a Saint being... driven out again, right?"

"Their cultivation and souls have broken through the realm. With the help of the Angel of Plenty, they have escaped the degradation of the mortal world and ascended into heaven."

"what?"

Poro was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the word "heaven", he felt his memory explode.

He seemed to remember something: a patchwork of darkness, ruins and debris above the sky, an endless black tide...

Those memories seemed to have spontaneously hidden themselves deep in my memory after that moment.

Until this moment, the dark and incomprehensible torn picture reappeared before his eyes.

A splitting headache.

"Heaven?"

At this time, Poro had begun to feel that something was wrong, but in order to convince himself, he needed obvious evidence!

"Thank you, sir."

Poro didn't say anything else to the Saint, he just bowed and said.

"It doesn't matter. We are all on the path to eradicate hunger. This is the divine grace of the Angel of Plenty. Only in this way can we save humanity from darkness."

At this time, under the guidance of the saint, the newly-appointed saints also took their seats one after another.

Everyone was already wearing golden and white robes.

When entering the Candy Castle, Lake's red cloak had already turned into invisible mode.

The effect of [Cute Girl] is also actively hidden.

Lake's long golden hair is tied with a red ribbon. Even without the [Cute Girl] effect, she still has a pure beauty.

"We come here for food, so that all humanity will no longer be plagued by hunger."

A saint sitting at the very top began to speak.

The chocolate badge on his chest, with its gold foil surface, shimmered with the faint glow of a number, and that number was one.

"Hungry soil blossoms with the joy of harvest, the haze of hunger dissipates under the glow of abundance, love and food create miracles here, and every soul swims in the ocean of abundance..."

Poro noticed that among all the saints, only the thirty-six people sitting in the first seat had numbers floating on the holy emblems on their chests.

At this moment, they were all praying and chanting hymns.

The holy emblem on the chest glowed during the chanting, and all the delicacies also glowed with an attractive luster.

Everyone looked at them in surprise.

At the same time, amidst the aroma and glow of delicious food, an inexplicable breath began to rise rapidly and condense. Everyone, including Lake and Poro, seemed to feel a kind of... pressure that seemed to come from the level of life!

“May your name be remembered by the stars, and may your grace extend across the plains to the ends of the world…

In this moment of abundance, every awakened soul that has escaped hunger will offer you the most sincere praise and admiration! "

Those saints were chanting, and seeing this scene, all the new saints held their breath.

No one said a word because they already had a premonition of what was about to happen.

Angel, the god of salvation and holiness, is about to come here!
The feast on the dining table, with its colorful glow, contrasts with the candy walls on all sides. The colored glass on the walls, made of solidified colored transparent sugar water, projects gorgeous neon lights.

Spinning and interweaving.

Gathered at the front of the room, on the snow-white altar!

Transformed into... a vast expanse of bright, dazzling light that was difficult to look directly at!

In the light so dazzling that it makes people cry, huge white wings suddenly spread open, and then disappeared into the air in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The lights began to fade, revealing the shadow of a human figure.

In a fleeting glimpse, only that beautiful and holy face was revealed, and then it disappeared into the air again.

That face that resembles a human but is extremely beautiful makes most of the new saints fascinated by it.

Such a holy, beautiful, and ethereal power.

It was firmly engraved in the hearts of everyone present.

The ascetic monks among the three newly-promoted saints were in tears. Before that figure began, they had already left their seats and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"The Archangel of Plenty has approved of your holy act and blessed this dinner. This will be your first Holy Communion."

After the brilliant "Angel of Abundance" disappeared, the light shining from the delicious dishes on the table did not disappear.

The newly ordained saints looked at the Holy Communion on the table with a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

The ground was desolate, with withered bones piled up in the wilderness. Amidst the wailing, snow-white wings descended from the sky. The angel lifted the iron cover in its hand, and a pink light instantly swept across the land.

Hunger subsides, all food, never less.

People wept for joy and asked the angel's name. According to the name, there will be abundance."

The saints with numbered badges spoke, then picked up a silver-white dinner knife, raised it in his hand for everyone to see, and then said:
"Taste the Eucharist, my saints."

……

At night, all the saints and visitors were arranged into separate rooms.

There are many rooms in the castle. Even though nearly a hundred saints are stationed here, it still seems empty and deserted. In the corridor at night, only the gingerbread man can be seen, standing motionless in the shadows.

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, there was a knock on Poro's door.

Poro opened his eyes and opened the door. Lake walked in carefully and closed the door.

As for Poro, he revealed his true form and drew a magic circle in the air with his claws, forming a field that enclosed the two of them.

—A simple magic spell for soundproofing.

"Is there really something wrong with that angel?"

Lake watched Poro complete his movements and finally asked.

"I'm... still a little unsure, but there's definitely something wrong with her."

Poro shook his head, "I didn't sense any magical aura in those 'miracles' she performed, but I felt that those were indeed what magic could do.

It's like the characteristics of magic are hidden?
Besides, you and I both know that Heaven...is long gone. So where did those hundreds of missing saints go?"

Poro exhaled, looked at the Queen's magic notes in front of him, and shook his head.

"Yeah, I don't think she looks like... the angel that Mr. Invi met at the beginning? Or is there some misunderstanding?"

Lake untied the ribbon tied on her head, and her long golden hair fell down.

This ribbon did not belong to Poro, but was given by the veteran Invi.

"Mr. Invi clearly said that if it was the angel he had seen before, he would definitely recognize it.

Because, this ribbon... originally belonged to that angel."
