"Is that… my Royal Chef job?" Lathel sensed that he could control the gem located below his energy lake.
Lathel scratched his head, he was not a resident of this world, and the information he knew about this world was extremely limited.
"Mah… okay, I don't need to worry too much." Lathel said to himself: "Anyway, I don't feel uncomfortable, maybe nothing dangerous will happen."
He shrugged, then opened his eyes. At this moment, he looked forward, and countless information appeared in his mind.
"Ah! So this is the eyes of a Royal Chef, so wonderful."
"I can recognize most of the plants around me, I even know how to combine them together to create a dish."
"Hm… but… I don't have any cooking utensils." Lathel sighed, then turned his head and looked inside the castle: "Hopefully there is something useful inside."
…
In another place, in a forest, a group of people dressed somewhat similarly suddenly appeared.
They looked like a group of adventurers, however, their clothes were all white, with gold trims, and a strange diamond-shaped symbol on their chest.
The group of people consisted of 5 people, however, each person had different characteristics.
"Any news yet?" The person who spoke was a Lizard, he was about 2 meters tall, and he was holding a wooden magic staff in his hand.
"No, it seems that the person holding that stone has died, I can't feel his life energy."
A girl spoke up, she was wearing a white robe, and holding a magic staff in her hand. She had a beautiful face with blonde hair tied down her back.
She raised her hands, and a glass ball appeared between her hands. In that glass ball, there was only a small black stream moving.
"This sphere is the water life sphere that represents that person. The black smoke in the middle is the life of the person carrying that stone. Since it has turned black, it means that person has died."
That Lizard frowned, he rubbed his chin and said: "Haya, could he have faked his death, then appropriated that stone?"
Haya shook her head: "No way. That person was hypnotized by a high-ranking magician of the Church. He only knew how to follow orders, moreover he had no thoughts of his own."
At this moment, the middle-aged man who was wearing light armor, and carrying a sword on his waist frowned and said: "What the hell are you talking about? I still don't understand what's going on."
"That stone is definitely being transported and strictly protected by the church on a magic ship, why are we looking for that stone?"
The Lizard sighed and explained: "Swordary, you must know that the Church has devised an extremely perfect plan."
"Is that a perfect plan, Lizaru?" Another person spoke up, he was wearing heavy armor that covered his entire body, including his face: "So... where is that stone now?"
Lizaru was the Lizard holding a magic staff. He frowned and replied when he heard the sarcastic voice of the person wearing heavy armor: "Taki, pay attention to your attitude. We are on a mission for the Church, put your personal feelings aside."
"Huh!" Taki turned his head the other way as if he didn't want to pay attention to their conversation.
At this time, the woman wearing a tight white outfit, and carrying two daggers on her waist, smiled and said: "I also want to ask the same question. Lizaru, that stone is being transported by the church, so… what are we looking for?"
Lizaru did not answer but looked towards Haya.
Haya was startled at this moment, she quickly explained: "Sorry, I can't say clearly what's going on."
"However, I can only tell you that we need to find the person the church wants us to find."
"The Church entrusted me with the orb that represents the person's life and position. However, the current situation is… that person is dead."
"Hmm?" The woman frowned: "If that person is dead, we just need to find his body. Why do we have to search for the Goblins?"
Haya sighed: "In fact, since that person has died, I can not find his location."
"However, we can rely on the images from his memory before he died. Those memories will appear and be stored inside this glass ball."
Haya said as she moved the glass ball in her hand forward. In the orb appeared the image of a middle-aged man, dressed like a common adventurer.
He carried a small bag on his waist, of course, everyone knew what was in that bag.
Suddenly, he was attacked by a group of Goblins. That group of Goblins consisted of 8 small Goblins and a Goblin Shaman.
That man was concentrating on fighting the small Goblins when suddenly, the Goblin Shaman cast a spell, and a small magic circle appeared.
From that magic circle, a fireball the size of a basketball flew towards that man.
BAM!
An explosion rang out when the fireball collided with the man. Even though his body was burned by fire, he still stood up like someone who knew no pain.
However, right after that, the small Goblins continuously used weapons to attack him.
The fight started very suddenly but ended very quickly. The man lay on the ground, and the Goblins began rummaging through his body to take everything.
The memory ended.
The group fell into silence. At this time, Lizaru spoke up: "Okay, let's continue searching. We can't wait any longer, the magic ship will dock at the Church in 5 days."
"If we don't quickly find the stone and bring it to the Church in the next 5 days, we will all… die."
…
Back to Lathel, he was currently rummaging through the kitchen that Charlotte destroyed last night.
After a while, he sighed tiredly: "There aren't any pots left intact. Are you kidding me?"
Seeing the state of the kitchen which resembled a dump, he shook his head in frustration. Luckily, he found 4 small intact disks.
Lathel walked around the castle, as he continued searching the other rooms.
Suddenly, he saw an extremely large door, twice as large as the doors of other rooms.
Lathel tilted his head to look at the door, then he pushed the door open and entered.
Krit! Krit! Krit!
The sound of the door opening sounded like something out of a horror movie. However, the scene inside was extremely normal.
This room was a large living room, it was completely empty inside, without any furniture except for a cauldron placed in the middle of the room.
Sunlight illuminated the room through the windows on the left wall.
On the right side of the room was a completely closed wall, above which were hung countless paintings depicting strange images.
As Lathel approached, he took a closer look at the cauldron before him.
The cauldron was not too big, nor too small. It was black as if it were made from cast iron, it had many rust spots on it and it was completely devoid of any patterns at all.
It was so ordinary that it made Lathel strangely wonder why something so ordinary was placed in such a solemn place.
Lathel gently touched the cauldron…
"Boy, do you want to rule this world?"
"Heh?!" Lathel was a bit startled when he heard a voice.
That voice sounded like a cacophony of voices and this made him unable to distinguish whether the voice was a man's or a woman's.
"Do you want to be the lord of this world? Just obey me, dedicate your life to me, become my loyal servant, and I will help you fulfill all your wishes."
Lathel: "…" ( ￣ ￣ |||)
He looked towards the cauldron, and thought in his heart: 'This line is as old as humanity it is a standard line for villains... perhaps this cauldron definitely belongs to a villain. '
"Hahaha… don't look for me, I'm right in front of you." The strange voice rang out again, full of confidence and arrogance: "Human, you… Oy! Oy! Oy! Where are you going?"
Lathel was about to leave the room when he heard the cauldron calling him. He turned his head, and calmly said: "Ah! I entered the wrong room, sorry."
"Oy! Don't go! Come back here, I… I will fulfill all your wishes."
Hearing that, Lathel frowned, he rubbed his chin in thought. The cauldron was also silent, waiting for his answer.
"Hm…" Suddenly, Lathel spoke: "What can you do?"
"Hahaha… hahaha… hahaha hahaha…"
Lathel: "…"
"Oy! Oy! Come back! I haven't said anything yet, where are you going?"
Lathel put his hand on the doorknob, his face filled with impatience and said: "I don't have time to hear you laugh, okay?"
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, okay?" The cauldron said, its voice starting to sound a little worried.
Lathel glanced at the cauldron with eyes filled with suspicion for a long time, then sighed and said: "So... if I ask a question. you answer."
"Huh! Stupid human, I am... Oy! I'm sorry, I'll stop, come back... come back here!!!"
As soon as Lathel opened the door, he heard the cauldron scream. He glanced at the cauldron, then closed the door again.
"So… I ask, you answer, okay?"
"Um, I will answer all your questions."
Hearing that, Lathel went up to the cauldron, he walked around, looked at it for a moment and then asked: "Do you have a name?"
"Of course yes. My name is Heavenly Rainbow Almighty Emperor Cauldron."
