Chapter 1567 – [What Is the Best Dish]

Once Lulu and Eve’s inspection was over, we were able to enter Delta Castle in earnest. However, Lulu is a Bloodier, so although entry into the country is possible, there are restrictions on surveillance and actions during her stay.

It’s natural. To put it mildly, it is the same situation as Osama bin Laden’s bloodline moving around in the United States, but it is at a level that is tolerated if not arrested. I’m just thankful that the Delta Castle upper part is reasonable and flexible.

Of course, Gray and Phantom’s words may not have had an impact, but even so, it is not a joke when entry into the country is possible.

“Everyone is staring.”

“It can’t be helped. It’s fortunate that they aren’t openly hostile.”

Our family moves together to meet Gray. Lords, dimensional species, transcendental species, transcendental people, etc. Are prominent people who attract attention wherever they go, but it was Lulu who caught the most attention of the residents of Delta Castle.

Her Bloody Mother made an official visit to Delta Castle to meet Gray. Only people here will know what that means and what kind of repercussions it will cause.

“That rumor was true? Wow, how could Bloodier…”

“It is said that he did not go berserk even after meeting Gray-sama before. Could it be that the bloodier species itself has changed?”

“It was like that to Hanon before. Come to think of it, they say that the reason Hanon changed was because of the Winter Lord’s daughter.”

“I heard that the 7th Legion Commander and the Winter Lord are engaged to each other? What is it? They say that love changes, but isn’t the range of defense too wide?”

“I heard a rumor that Aregish also has a lover.”

“Did you complete the dimensional species? Are you going to set a new dimensional record?”

“But rehabilitating Bloodier is a great achievement.”

I can hear all the whispering. No, I guess he said it because he knew he could hear it. Anyone from a dimensional civilization knows that I am a Lord and that one of my abilities is ‘sense’, so I know that no matter how quietly I whisper, I can hear everything.

Because I know that, I moderate it appropriately, and I say that because I know I won’t be that angry. The good thing about dimensional civilization is that the other party knows this side, so they understand well what lines should not be crossed.

“Oh, is that Eden, the daughter of the Winter Lord? The one who developed the English recipe?”

“I heard you’ll get your degree this time.”

“Have you tried English cuisine at the tower restaurant over there? It involved very complicated cooking techniques, but it tasted much better because you could tell how it was made without even a single explanation. I didn’t know much about gourmet food, but it was perfect!!”

“Even critics who only pay attention to food can’t refute Youngja’s cuisine. They can’t criticize it when they realize how much effort and hard work it took to make it.”

“If you can do it, you have no conscience.”

Some people talk about Eden and Youngja’s cooking methods. Because there is a lot of interest in this part of the article below.

As she went, Eve had a separate hologram screen floating in the air and was searching for various things. I think it’s because acquisition of information is important because it was born in artificial intelligence.

“I heard about dimensional civilization, dimensional civilization, but it’s not a joke. When you look up wikis and things like cold fusion technology, you’re shocked to see it.”

“It is available, but many of them combine this ability, so it will be difficult to find one that uses pure scientific technology.”

“If the efficiency is different, it is much better to apply this ability.”

“I also want to use this ability, but…”

“Hanon doesn’t have any talent, so we should give up.”

“I get confused every time I think about that.”

Hanon has no aptitude for this ability. He treats the laws of physics as if they were nothing, and even if you really look for this ability, you can’t find it. Ki, mana, and other special abilities, as well as spiritual power that can be used if there is a soul, do not appear.

Perhaps the only power that Hanon can use is pure will. In the first place, will cannot be classified as a special ability.

Anyway, we arrived at the center of Delta Castle and met Gray. His gaze glanced towards Lulu, but there was a slight but wary look.

“Are you afraid of Bloodier, who is not even a Lord-level leader?”

“That’s not it, the damage that would happen in that case is scary. I know that Lulu has changed since becoming a Bloodier, but it’s still not absolute, right?”

“I’m a good kid now!!!”

“Okay, okay, I bought some candy. Do you want to eat it?”

“Wow!!! Candy!!!!”

“Uncle!!! Me too!!!!”

The two kids who like to eat are, of course, Lulu and Eden.

Eden, Lulu, and Eve joined in, and the three of them sat down to eat the candy Gray gave them. Meanwhile, Gray brought a diploma to give to Eden.

“Actually, I thought about holding a separate ceremony, but it looked like they wouldn’t like that. To be honest, it’s a hassle to do a ceremony because it takes several hours.”

“I won’t be able to take a commemorative photo, but it won’t matter.”

“Anyway, Eden, here is your diploma.”

“Wow!!! I’m a doctor now!”

This is a diploma with gorgeous gold leaf text. Even the paper wasn’t regular paper, but a special paper that wouldn’t tear easily, and it seemed like it had a permanent preservation spell on it.

Unless you intentionally break it, it is something you can keep for a lifetime. The formal diploma was created with great effort.

Of course, not only that, but also a separate hologram card is handed over to Eden. There is no separate medium, but it is a magically created item, so it can be used whenever necessary and is almost impossible to counterfeit.

“And this is a biometric ID exclusively for degree holders. No matter where you go in the dimensional civilization, you will be able to receive identification as well as various conveniences and services, so use it well.”

“What service is there?”

“If it’s a restaurant registered in a dimensional civilization, is there something like a 10% discount at all times?”

“If you eat 10 times, the 1st time is free!!!!! It’s like a bonus coupon that works at all restaurants!!!!!”

“That would be best for our Eden.”

Aside from that, there are also things like helping with finding accommodation or making it easier to enter the country. I don’t have anything like that, but before that, I was the Great Demon Lord, so it was a free pass, so I didn’t really need it.

It is very meritorious to have your degree recognized, and your status guaranteed at Delta Castle, the leader in dimensional civilization. It’s a good idea to get it because it’s like an ID card that allows you to be treated well wherever you go.

“Since we’re already here, would you like to try Eden’s cooking? I’ve prepared the ingredients. Is the time okay?”

“That’s true, but what about other people? There might be Yong Ha-yeon and Lee Yan.”

“You two are going out for a bit. They probably won’t come back until tomorrow.”

“Then should we meet next time? Okay. Eden, let’s cook.”

“Oh!!!!!”

It’s a bit disappointing that there aren’t many people, but Eden and I came down to the castle’s kitchen to serve Gray a meal.

Although he says he is relatively frugal and does not show authority very often, he is a man who is no different from the king of a dimensional civilization. The kitchen was filled with a variety of ingredients as well as rare and expensive items.

I was amazed to see a bowl piled with beautiful yellow eggs, each a little smaller than an adult male’s fist.

“Oh, this is expensive.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a creature native to a planetary sanctuary. It’s called a sky whale. And this is the egg of that sky whale.”

“It’s a whale, but it lays eggs? Isn’t it a fish?”

“It is similar in size to a whale. Meat is expensive, but eggs are more expensive because they are laid once every 50 years. It is a protected area, so poaching is not allowed, and the harvesting period and quantity are set. One egg of this is enough to cover a month’s salary for a middle-class person in Delta Castle. Okay.”

“Sounds delicious!!!!!”

“I’ll teach you how to cook. Would you like to try it?”

“Before that, try it first. If you don’t know the taste, you can’t cook it, right?”

“Then let’s boil it lightly.”

If it’s a small fish roe, it may have a distinct taste like pollack roe or herring roe, but it’s too big to fit into your mouth at once. Boil it once, cook it all the way through, and then eat it.

It gives off a fragrant smell as it boils. A slightly oily, nutty smell… The fact that it smells like that even after it is boiled means that it has that much flavor.

Immediately take out the boiled egg and cut it in half. The knife cut smoothly as if it had been oiled, and soon a yellow cross-section greeted us.

Take a spoon and eat a little bit of the egg as if you were eating a half-cut watermelon with a spoon. The moment you put a spoon on it, it feels like butter and floats lightly.

“Wow…”

“It will taste better if you add a little salt.”

“I’ll just eat it for now.”

Eden says he eats it plain, but I eat it with a little salt. Once it’s seasoned, it goes straight to your mouth, and the flavor explodes the moment it touches your tongue.

Rich and oily. It feels like sea urchin roe and monkfish liver mixed with butter, but there is no fishy smell, so it tastes more like meat than seafood. The rich taste of fat is soft and melts like ice cream. Even without chewing it, it quickly goes down the back of my throat and all that remains is the extreme umami taste.

“Wow, this is perfect. If you just put a spoonful on top of rice and mix it well, you don’t need a side dish.”

“It feels like a refreshing lard. It’s not greasy, but rather has a rich taste. Hmm, it would be nice to add some herbs and make it like pollack roe pasta.”

“But the taste of this is so strong that it’s difficult to mix with other things.”

“That’s right. If you use an ingredient that has such a special taste together with other ingredients, it won’t be the same. But hmm… I think it would be pretty good if you dry it and add something like pepper that concentrates the taste and adds a crunchy taste.”

“Like aglio olio? It has peperoncino in it.”

“Yes, it would be better to do it like that.”

I will make other dishes as well, but this is what I will focus on. Sky whale eggs are made into cream to make pasta sauce, and spicy peppers are found and dried among the ingredients.

I looked it up and found a pepper that was quite large and had a strong spicy taste, like a chili pepper, so I used that. After splitting it and removing the seeds inside, cut it into small pieces and then dry it.

“Yerosto!!!”

[Um, what’s going on?]

“Can you dry this thoroughly?”

[Like a dryer? I understand.]

Eden used Jerosto to dry the peppers. If there’s anything good about it, Jerosto’s fire-dried peppers are very good because they are dried beautifully and deliciously, almost like solar herbs dried in the sun in a country house.

And then a spicy smell wafts out. It’s spicy, but at the same time, it smells appetizing, and what’s more, it’s crunchy like a fried snack.

I could cook, but Gray said Eden would cook, so I should leave it to Eden. I made other dishes to eat besides the main dish, and Eden made the rest. Sky whale eggs instead of oil, peppers and some herbs. And some vegetables.

“It’s okay to make the pasta soft, but I like it to be al dente, so it has a chewy texture.”

“Daddy is like that too.”

The ingredients themselves were nothing special, but as it was completed, it started to emit a nice scent. No matter how refreshing the taste, if it is too oily, it will feel greasy or greasy, but crispy red pepper chips bring out the spicy taste and texture.

“The taste itself is perfect. It wouldn’t be very meaningful to make an English dish focusing on the taste here.”

“Then?”

“It will add a feeling, not a taste. The feeling of seeing a huge whale flying between foggy mountains.”

“It must be cool.”

The first taste is greasy and spicy when chewed, and the last taste is cool and refreshing due to the Yeongja cooking. It’s going to be amazing, and you won’t get bitten even if you eat it, so you’ll be able to keep eating it.

Soon we finished the dish and served it. The people who were preparing looked at us with expectant eyes and individually placed the Sky Whale Egg Pasta in their own bowls. Of course, other dishes are also set on the table so that you can eat them to your heart’s content.

Everyone pays attention to the other dishes, but as expected, everyone’s interest is focused on pasta, as if they know that today’s main dish is pasta. I was wondering what alcohol to serve, and Gray recommended a separate drink.

“You used sky whale eggs? That’s a good drink. It’s a drink made from fruit grown on the same planet, and although the alcohol content isn’t high, it’s sweet and good.”

“Then let’s do that.”

Now that the setting is complete, let’s start eating. It took some time, but the dish didn’t cool down at all. This is because Eden delayed cooling through time manipulation.

Thanks to this, I was able to eat the dish in the best condition, so I started eating in earnest. Everyone eats the main dish, pasta, first.

Some people used chopsticks and others rolled them up with a fork, but the reaction was the same. The moment you take a bite, you get the rich, oily taste of sky whale eggs, the pepper chips that enhance the texture while stimulating the spicy taste without making it too greasy, and the majestic feeling of a whale flying between the mountains thanks to Youngja’s cooking.

“Oh, is this the original English cuisine? It’s much better than anything I’ve ever had? Maybe it’s because of Eden’s talent?”

“What about English cuisine at other stores?”

“Of course, that one is delicious too. But what Eden made has a different depth than what the second one made.”

“Better than what that Phantom guy made? Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

“It’s not an exaggeration. Probably, Youngja’s cooking is not just about making it delicious, but it also seems to be influenced by his attitude and spiritual talent. And even the Absolute is not perfect.”

I can’t believe Eden’s Youngja’s cooking tastes better than that bastard who never sleeps but is better at cooking than me… I feel happy because I feel like I can sense Eden’s freshness.

On the one hand, when it comes to English cooking, it means that Eden cooks better than me, but parents usually celebrate their children’s growth. Who would be jealous that their child is doing better than them? Then you are not qualified to be a parent.

The meal time was very lively because there was good alcohol and food. Eden also sat down and ate the dish he made, looking at any flaws that appeared after it was finished.

“The crispiness of the red pepper chips was a bit lost because of the sky whale egg cream sauce. I guess I should have added the red pepper chips later rather than when making them.”

“And?”

“I think it would have been better to add soy sauce instead of just making it with cream. Then, you would have to leave out the red pepper chips, but some people might like it better.”

“Hmm, I guess it’s still delicious.”

Gray, who had tried a variety of delicacies from all over the world, enjoyed the pasta made by Eden so much that he even mopped up the sauce with bread. For a chef, the best compliment is a clean plate, so Eden smiled slightly when she saw that.

Gray ate satisfactorily while drinking alcohol, ate well, sighed, and told a confusing story.

“I really enjoyed the original English cuisine. It’s such a good recipe…”

“What, why are you talking so unpleasantly?”

“No, the second guy is having a hard time because of that. Have you ever heard of Dark Lord Castle’s Dark Cooking World? It looks like he’s been having trouble again these days.”

“… Dark cooking world?”

No, what the fuck is that again. Are you the cooking king Biryong?

“Dark cooking world…!!!”

Eden made a serious expression upon hearing that it was a dark cooking world.

Somehow, it doesn’t seem like the trip to dimensional civilization will go so quietly.
