Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 771 - 127: Precision Elemental Enchantment Craftsmanship

Nearly a day had passed since Other Shore's disappearance. Upon hearing the news, Rowena was the most anxious one. She immediately sought out Ethan and actively threw herself into the rescue efforts for the young hero.

Just as Ethan believed that crises reveal true friendships and was touched by their bond, Rowena casually mentioned the real reason for her urgency—her cook had gone missing.

As the saying goes, it's easy to move from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to move back. Now, her taste buds had been spoiled by Other Shore, and tasting her own cooking had become a form of torment. When asked, "Why don't you eat out?" Rowena righteously emphasized that she had just bought a lot of meat and vegetables from the market with her own money yesterday, and wasting them would be disgraceful.

After Rowena got involved in the treatment, the atmosphere in the hospital became a bit odd.

The director of the Royal Hospital took Ethan and the others' visit very seriously and immediately organized an emergency consultation. However, in the consultation room, Rowena started whispering with Lindong.

"Lindong, Lindong."

She sneaked up to the white-haired girl sitting next to her, who gave her a sidelong glance, "Hmm?"

"It seems Other Shore won't be back anytime soon."

"So what?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I heard you've been researching cooking lately, why don't you come to my house tonight and make a couple of dishes for me? I have a whole basket of leafy greens that will wilt in a few days."

...

Although Ms. Rowena's unwavering spirit was touching, it unsurprisingly met with Lindong's refusal.

What level do you think you are? Want me to go to your house and cook for you?

Faced with Lindong's disdainful gaze, Rowena turned to Ethan to complain, "Your cat is too unfriendly."

In the consultation room, only Ethan listened carefully to the director's report, and there was no change from the last update. To ensure the patient wouldn't suffer any sequelae, the hospital had been adopting relatively conservative treatment methods. They feared that taking risky measures at this stage would be like directly hitting the young hero on the head with a stick, either waking him up with one blow or putting him into eternal slumber.

Of course, for the Imperial Knight Commander's safety, they could try more aggressive measures.

This suggestion was rejected by Ethan. Spotting an opportunity, Rowena emotionally persuaded Ethan, immediately inviting him to her house for dinner, "Perhaps we can gather some news from the guild, after all, worlds that exalt heroes and demon kings are quite rare. I can help organize information, and if you're willing to eat my cooking, I can also handle logistics."

As she spoke, Rowena didn't forget to sneak glances at Lindong, her implications obvious.

This time, she believed Lindong had ample reason to step into the kitchen, and she was curious about what kind of culinary skills Lady Witch Lindong possessed. Would her dishes freeze people's teeth off?

"Lindong, what do you think of my suggestion... ah! Old Sen, your cat is about to hiss, take care of her!"

"Hmph."

The interaction between Rowena and Lindong was interrupted by a disdainful snort.

The black cat, in a posture completely unfitting for a feline, crossed his arms and sat up straight on the consultation room table, "Stupid humans, why are you so fixated on that woman's cooking? If you beg me, it's not like I can't show off for you in the evening."

"Tonight, after eating beef bourguignon, stir-fried romaine lettuce with sour cream bread."

The legendary black cat Little Dark interrupted Lindong's hissing buildup with just a sentence, immediately speaking up, "Rowena, your task is to watch this black cat and don't let her near the kitchen."

"Why! Why are you staring at me like I'd poison the food?"

Ethan merely observed the daily bickering of the three in silence, once again deeply appreciating the profoundness of the doctrine of the mean—if Rowena asked Lindong to cook a couple of dishes in the kitchen, Lindong would flatly refuse. But if Little Dark stepped up and said she'd take responsibility for dinner, Lindong would willingly go into the kitchen to cook.

Meanwhile, he had more important work to do.

As soon as he arrived at Rowena's house, he contacted the station master of the 003 transfer station through the guild investigator's manual. In fact, not long ago, the station master had entrusted an octopus-faced investigator to bring them a message, warning them about the changes happening in the guild.

The situation showed no signs of improvement, as both the guild headquarters and the transfer stations were overwhelmed with busyness. They're almost certain that some guild administrators had disappeared, and the unavoidable anomalies were directly connected to their disappearance, as those areas were mostly the administrators' "jurisdictions."

The anomalies in these worlds were driven by a mysterious power they had yet to understand.

The guild had already dispatched investigators to these worlds.

An hour later, the station master sent someone with new information.

"World: Silver Radiance Empire"

"Administrator: Silver Emperor"

These materials contained many names familiar to Ethan.

In the Sixth Epoch, Henry VI was still alive, and the names of the empire's cities were exactly the same as those in their own world. They were in the same era and shared the same social background, the only difference being that before his disappearance, the Silver Emperor was seemingly a fervent enthusiast of hero and demon king stories.

The history of the world unfolded around the confrontation between the hero and the demon king.

In guild records, such cycles had occurred fifteen times, with each cycle lasting a century. Not every cycle ended with the hero's victory; a hero's failure meant that in the next century, the people of the Silver Radiance Empire would fall into an era of darkness until the next hero emerged to lead the people to overthrow the demon king's tyranny.
