What do you mean by "this is a dating game"?

Montblanc.

The chef at Morning Star's house is an excellent pastry chef. Soft and delicious white bread is his basic skill, but his real specialty is hazelnut cake, which is far superior to that of the borderlands and reaches the level of the Western Continent.

When Xiyou arrived in Blackscale City, she specifically asked him to come along.

He is the pastry chef for the Cats team.

Montblanc is under a lot of pressure right now.

A perfectly square chocolate cake sat on the table, exquisitely crafted.

"Delicious! Even better than Mont Blanc's hazelnut cake!"

Grapefruit's bright red eyes gleamed as she showered him with praise.

These compliments sounded like torture to Montblanc.

Xiyou looked at him and said, "Montblanc, you should try some too. I didn't know Da Gen's cooking was this good?"

"Okay, Miss Grapefruit."

A few hours ago.

Sieg suddenly came into the kitchen, saying he wanted to make a cake.

Montblanc knew that this young man was Miss Grapefruit's favorite, so he dared not neglect him.

He had prepared all the raw materials and was thinking of giving some pointers, but he never expected that this kid would come to ruin his livelihood!

Daigen's skills were superb, and his movements were clean and efficient; he was by no means a novice.

now.

Montblanc cut a piece of cake and examined it.

The cake, less than three centimeters high, is divided into six distinct layers.

A layer of coffee cream, a layer of chocolate ganache, a layer of almond cake, and so on.

Truly ingenious and unique.

He took a bite—what a wonderful taste!

The coffee and chocolate flavors are both strong. If paired with a mild-flavored cake, the result will be top-heavy and lacking in aftertaste.

Daikon came up with a unique idea: using a thick almond cake.

They even went out of their way to make each layer thinner, ensuring that the three flavors blended together, ultimately presenting a smooth and mellow taste – a stroke of genius.

Grapefruit looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

Montblanc was convinced: "Even if Mr. Daikon didn't become an adventurer, he could have succeeded with just this one cake."

Grapefruit wanted to laugh when it heard that!

Sieg is so strong, he's a natural-born adventurer.

Why doesn't he become a legendary hero and instead bake cakes?

Upon hearing Montblanc's assessment, Sieg felt—

That's fine then.

Opera cake is a classic dessert on Earth, and its popularity over the centuries is no accident. It's more than enough to deal with people from another world.

On a whim, Sieg suddenly felt like giving it a try.

His mind was in turmoil.

He didn't know why Oz hadn't used his reconnaissance spell, nor could he fathom what kind of feelings he harbored towards Oz.

Oz was very fond of opera cakes.

Did Sieg start making it out of gratitude for something beautiful?

He was still thinking about practicing hard so that if Oz caught him one day, he could bring out the opera house and play the emotional card.

After thinking it over and over...

Or better yet, take care of yourself first!

The focus for the next period of time will definitely be on conquering the Gold Coast.

Sieg, as a frontline enforcer, only needs to follow orders, but the lesbians in the rear have many more things to consider.

Planning and strategizing are not his responsibility; what he needs to do now is simply to strengthen himself.

"Grapefruit, are you a student of the archmage Leo?"

Sieg suddenly asked.

Grapefruit stretched out her wicked little hand and grabbed another piece of cake: "Yes."

"Leo is an enchanting master. So, you know enchanting?"

Yes, I will.

That's great.

Sieg waved and said, "Stop eating, come with me."

Grapefruit remained unfazed: "I'll come right after I finish eating."

……

……

As you descend the steps, a chill seeps into your bones.

Sieg followed Xiyou into the underground training ground.

The walls are engraved with arrays of runes to absorb magical impacts. The protective level of this training ground is as high as "Tier 3" - even a Tier 3 superhuman's full-force attack cannot penetrate the arrays of runes on the walls.

This place is usually used to test new skills and verify new equipment.

Sieg handed over his necromancer.

"An extraordinary item, and a rare one at that? You have some good stuff too."

Grapefruit took the Necronomicon and immediately recognized its grade.

Open it and take a look—

The first half of the book was filled with names, while the second half was blank.

The last three pages of the Necronomicon are made of a very special material; they feel neither like wood nor bamboo, but rather like the hide of some kind of magical beast.

As a "novice enchanter," Xiyou knew that these pages made from monster hides were "dragon paper," an excellent medium for enchanting.

This "dragon skin" is not the same as that "dragon skin"; it's just a name.

Paper made from dragon skin does exist, but such things are considered national treasures and cannot be circulated in the market.

Sieg said, "This is the Necronomicon. Press your finger on it and infuse it with magic to summon skeleton archers."

"Yeah?"

Grapefruit is bold.

She pressed her finger against it, and felt a slight pain in her fingertip. A tiny wound appeared, and a drop of bright red blood flowed out.

The next moment.

Endless black smoke billowed out, and a tall skeletal skeleton passed through the doorway, arriving from the underworld.

"!"

Grapefruit was startled.

She looked at the golden, jade-like skeleton archer, each bone shrouded in a mist of magic, and exclaimed in surprise, "Third tier?! Isn't it first tier?"

Even more amazing is...

Thinking clearly.

Grapefruit felt an exceptionally strong connection between itself and the skeleton archer. With just a thought, the skeleton archer immediately raised its longbow and looked at Sieg!

Sieg said, "The Necronomicon can summon an archer of 'up to Tier 3'. We were in a Tier 1 Fire Palace before, so the archer we summoned was only Tier 1."

"So intelligent?!"

Doesn't that mean...?

This book can be used up to level three?

wrong.

Grapefruit quickly realized that the true value of the Necronomicon lay in reality.

Without paying a price, you can summon a loyal and obedient follower who can command your own arm. Even if you reach the fifth rank, the Necronomicon is not useless!

If placed in a remote area where extraordinary individuals rarely go, it would be more like a family heirloom, used to lord it over others.

"Da Gen, are you selling this?"

What do you think?

"...I was just asking, just in case?"

There's no such thing as a "what if".

What are you thinking about?

Sieg said, "The Necronomicon's advantages don't stop there. See those last three pages of 'Dragon's Parchment'? The enchantments on them are third-tier enchantments."

"I saw it. And then?"

"Remove those enchantments and then apply a few Tier 1 enchantments. Tier 3 enchantments won't work in a Tier 1 Flinthouse. Considering we're heading to the 'Gold Coast' soon, could you adjust the enchantments to 'Eagle Eye,' 'Split Arrow,' and 'Winter Bow' for me?"

"?"

Grapefruit is really surprised!

She asked, "Can the skeleton archer's skill set be adjusted at any time?"

Sieg nodded: "That's one of the advantages of the Necronomicon."

"What a unique little thing!"

I love Xiyou's Necronomicon more and more the more I read it.

She became interested and said, "Leave it to me. It's time to show you what I'm capable of, otherwise you'll think I'm a useless captain who can't do anything!"
