Chapter 413: Chapter 295: The Taste of Happiness Will Dispel Evil

The bustling and lively big restaurant was filled with the sounds of people, and a group of bards were singing. Elsa seemed to have never dined in such an environment before.

When she lived at Bed’s house, the dining environment was always very quiet. Sali often had things to do and missed meals, so she dined alone with the servants attending to her.

Now living in the Light Eagle Group, it was indeed lively when she was with the Charging Team or other mercenaries, but during meals, there were only the mercenaries.

It’s inconvenient to go to the cities on both sides from the Light Eagle Group’s base, and to be honest, the captain’s level could count as nobility in the Royal City. Even when dining out, they would choose places that align with the tastes of important figures.

As for a bustling canteen like this, it was indeed a novel experience for her.

"The food here is delivered fresh from the gourmet area every day. It may not look as exquisite, but the taste is top-notch," Luluwo said enthusiastically. "And today, we have a chef from the Elf Clan, Curipa, so you’re in for a treat."

Elsa looked at the extensive menu for a long time and finally chose a dish called [Glowing Egg Fried Rice], paired with [Hot Spring Happiness Egg].

"Also, two servings of cocoa sponge cake, made from the back of a Horned Lion," Tami said to the waiter before turning with a smile to Elsa. "When we first met, you snatched my chocolate, so you should like cocoa, right?"

Elsa blushed slightly; back then, she was starving because her supplies were completely depleted.

But before she could say anything, she heard Luluwo exclaim, "I want cake too, the extra-rich cocoa version."

"Then I’ll have the captain’s double cocoa sauce," Berto adjusted his glasses. He smiled at the thought of sweets, joined by Mila, Ais, and Em who made the same request.

Was the entire Skyrim Strategy Group a bunch of cocoa—no, sweet tooth enthusiasts!?

While waiting for the food, Luluwo and the others didn’t treat Elsa as an outsider, chatting about today’s gains.

There were many things that sounded like paid information being casually discussed. Elsa thought this unreserved openness towards her was strange, yet also very relaxing.

Regarding the seemingly paid information, like someone trying to poison Overlord Vonier, hoping to slowly wear him down, but dragging on too long led to being crushed to bits by Divine Wrath’s repetition.

A Necromancer attempted to use High Tier Undead Magic [Command Undead] to control Overlord Vonier, with predictably terrible results.

Someone sent a group of canine Beastmen, hoping their racial ability to double tooth damage on bones would help devour Vonier.

But all the canine Beastmen were distracted by Skeleton Warriors throwing dung pots, fleeing joyfully.

Another person with a godlike mindset attempted to awaken the Fran Undead Team and lure them to Overlord Vonier’s BOSS room!

If not for Gong Qiying noticing this divine man’s actions immediately and blocking with the Fog Gate, the opponent might have succeeded.

Explosive and interesting messages were flying everywhere in the air.

As they chatted enthusiastically, these people would playfully roughhouse, with Luluwo showing no air of a captain, playfully pinching Tami or thumping Berto, perfectly blending with the surrounding atmosphere.

The crackling fireplace, laughing adventurers at the dining table, and the accordion of the bard mingled with the aroma of food under amplification magic, letting people here release a day’s worth of stress, making this restaurant the happiest place under Lake Lienia’s night sky.

The spiritual power absorbed from Sain Dungeon kept going upup!

Seeing this, Elsa couldn’t help but think of the Charging Team, but upon comparing, she realized that everyone in the Charging Team was not quite so open when interacting with her, probably due to respecting his captain status?

"Captain, we’ve been in Endless Reincarnation for two days now. Can the blessings we’ve farmed really be useful?"

"Trust me, just believe in me as I believe in you all!"

Through their conversation, Elsa understood why the Skyrim Strategy Group was absent from the most popular Vonier Overlord battle these days.

After realizing they couldn’t win in a fight, they quickly went to the Endless Reincarnation (Meat Pigeon) area in the Great Tomb to develop silently.

Everyone knew that clearing Endless Reincarnation each time earned a few Historical Battle Certificates, which could then be exchanged for various rewards, including a permanently active blessing.

Luluwo’s group, right after their battle with Vonier, immediately went to farm Historical Battle Certificates in Endless Reincarnation to exchange for such a blessing—

[Favor of the Dead: When fighting against the Undead, enemies will show you mercy]

This blessing had appeared before in front of Leon, the Sword Saint, and to others, it’s considered the lowest tier, but basically everyone who has entered Endless Reincarnation would encounter it.

As stated in its effect, having this blessing deepens the chances that the undead enemies will hold back, meaning their attacks may occasionally miss, and damage may occasionally decrease. However, due to the not-so-high trigger rate, people regard it as mediocre.

But when Luluwo first saw the Casas Underground Tomb, she immediately thought of this blessing. The tolerance rate in battle with the Overlord is very low, any mistake could result in death. If such a blessing was on them, even with a low trigger rate, it might increase the meager tolerance rate just a bit.

Afterwards, they consulted Dal and other Fran Guards for advice and each got a [Wolf Ring•Replica] from the "Wolf Knight" in the Painting World.

[Wolf Ring•Replica]

[Activate proactively, significantly enhancing the body’s toughness, ensuring an unwavering sturdy body and will not be interrupted by attacks]

Additionally, against the terrifying power of Vonier’s Holy Sword, they found something in the Underground Maze at Lake Lienia.

[Vitalizing Fragrance’s Recipe Manual]

[Technology possessed by perfumers who participated in the Broken War, an item made using a perfuming bottle]

[Consumes magic power to invigorate the spirit, enhances the strength of those around, and forms a one-time shield that significantly reduces damage received]

["Invigorating" has a very powerful support effect, accustomed to it people become the Suicide Squad, hence excellent soldiers are plenty around perfumers]

The effect of this item was indeed eye-catching, but unfortunately, the necessary tool for its creation, [Perfuming Bottle], must be sourced from Sain Dungeon, and the drop rate isn’t high. Currently, the amount of Vitalizing Fragrance each member of the Skyrim Strategy Group possesses doesn’t exceed a handful.

Listening to their conversation, Elsa couldn’t help but admire the Strategy Group, as they have strong initiative, immediately acting on their ideas.

But, can they really defeat Overlord Vonier with just these items? It seems they’re all tools to reduce Vonier’s damage?

Where is the attack type? Simply reducing damage but being unable to harm the Overlord wouldn’t lead to victory. From her observation, the strongest among them, Luluwo, didn’t measure up to Eliphas.

About this, they naturally have things that Elsa couldn’t imagine.

"I didn’t expect this time it was Leon and the others who discovered the most critical information." Tami commented while eating, "Without his discovery, we might never have thought of that situation."

"Hmph, this time he wins." Luluwo turned her head proudly like a classic tsundere.

"Who would have thought that the mighty Overlord had such a relationship with the Abyss, relying on a stolen Holy Object to..."

What relationship? Stolen what?

Elsa was listening intently when the server came to serve the food, abruptly interrupting Luluwo, whose attention was immediately shifted to the meal.

The atmosphere suddenly shifted from professional information exchange to food enthusiasts in a food frenzy, the change in tone was too drastic.

With the atmosphere changing like this, Elsa felt too embarrassed to continue asking, and at that moment, the server brought a covered dish to her and motioned for her to open it.

Instantly, everyone in the restaurant turned to look at Elsa.

Wh-what’s going on, is there something strange about the food I ordered? Elsa was startled.

Tami urged with a smiling, expectant look, "Go ahead, open it."

What on earth is with these people.

Elsa furrowed her brows and swiftly lifted the lid off the glowing fried rice.

A flash bomb erupted instantly; the fried rice exploded with dazzling effects blinding everyone’s eyes!

As the light faded away... huh, where did Elsa go?

"Hiss..." she had dashed to the corner of the restaurant at lightning speed, gasping sharply.

"Hahaha."

Her reaction amused everyone, they turned their heads with satisfaction, they loved seeing the reactions of people ordering glowing cuisine for the first time.

She stared for a long time before returning under Tami’s reassurance, carefully scooping a golden spoonful of fried rice into her mouth.

"Mmm!"

The next second, her armor exploded! Luckily, beneath the armor, she was wearing thick clothes.

"How could this fried rice taste so good!"

Not only did her armor explode, but hearts were also popping in her eyes, she pressed her thighs together shyly, her body trembling a bit.

This fried rice is even stronger than high-concentration Blood Healing Potions!

Coming back to her senses, she ate the fried rice voraciously, her face displaying a look of happiness.

People laughed, the atmosphere at the dining table became even livelier, and Elsa was almost in love with this miraculous Dungeon.

When the fried rice was nearly finished, she slowed down, savoring the deliciousness bit by bit.

Luluwo and the others resumed their intelligence discussion.

"Leon and the others have challenged the Overlord already, Captain, we can’t fall behind!"

"Losing to Leon is no big deal, just beat the Light Eagle Group."

Elemental detection!

Elsa didn’t lift her head, but upon hearing the Light Eagle Group, she uncontrollably thought of Eliphas.

Just thinking of Eliphas, her heart uncontrolledly felt respect and admiration for him.

She recalled Eliphas’s sapphire-like eyes, which would glimmer with a red glow when activating his Unique Talent.

The red glow flashed across Elsa’s eyes, prompting a sudden thought — to gather more information from Luluwo and take it back!

Yes, take more information back, I’ve been quite stubborn refusing the Captain’s request this time, I must contribute to him!

A sudden guilt surged in her heart.

"Um..." she opened her mouth, about to say something.

"Your Happiness Egg is here, please enjoy it while hot." The server brought up the plump Happiness Egg, and ultimately, the desire for delicacy triumphed over the guilt towards the Captain.

Elsa tapped open the eggshell with a spoon, scooping up crispy fragrant breadsticks wrapped in the golden semi-liquid egg, savoring a mouthful.

[Happiness Egg: Upon consumption, happiness spreads through your body, even the most villainous will become kind-hearted and cheerful]

A great sense of happiness flowed through Elsa’s body, her mood turned exceptionally positive, the happiness erased all negative emotions.

Instantly, her gaze became clear and transparent, the faint red glow disappeared.

A thought which before eating the Happiness Egg would have seemed odd arose in her mind.

Why... was I so compliant with Eliphas?
