"No, are you sure?" Li Huailin pointed at the ball of fire. "You want to eat this thing?"
"Does it sound strange?" Madotte laughed. "You must have never heard them talk about what kind of person I am."
"Uh … I haven't." Li Huailin nodded.
"I'm a gourmet," Madotte said. "Whenever I see something delicious, I can't help but want to try it …"
"My dream is to become a gourmet too. That way, I can eat everywhere I go," Hongyan said nonchalantly as she drank water.
"Hehe, I remember someone saying that this guy will eat people. Are you going to eat him too?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"Ah! I don't want to eat people. Brother-in-law, you're so annoying! "Hongyan's expression changed as she drank water.
"So eating people is part of the delicacy?" Li Huailin asked Madotte.
"No, no, no. That's completely wrong." Madotte shook his head. "What I taste is the taste of the other party's soul. The meat is a bonus."
"Oh, I understand. Another soul eater, right?" Li Huailin nodded.
"By the way, my power comes from this. Simply put, the more delicious the soul I eat, the more powerful I become."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded, "So you want to eat this ball of fire to say that there is a very powerful soul force in it?"
"More or less. You can understand it. Maddox nodded in response. "I don't know what this ball of fire is, but I can sense the immense spiritual power within it. Its temptation to me is unparalleled. Of course, I know you can't understand it. I can explain it to you in another way. "
"During the War of Gods and Demons, we Evil Demons were defeated by the Celestials. I thought I would die, but I managed to escape in the end. But when I woke up, I was seriously injured and my abilities were greatly restricted. Otherwise, you wouldn't have forced your way into my base. " Madotte said. "Of course, this is a small matter to me. I can slowly recover my strength through eating. It just takes some time. The problem is that I don't know when the Celestials will discover me, so I don't know how much time I have. You've also said that Dalrocos and Wiltic are still alive. This way, the probability of them being discovered and implicating me has increased. Therefore, it's urgent for me to recover my strength now. "
"So you think this ball of fire is the way to recover your strength?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes. I can sense a powerful soul power within the flames. If I absorb all of it, I feel like I'll have no problems recovering to my previous level. That's right. Not only will I recover my strength, but I'll also become even more powerful," Madote said with a chuckle.
"I see." Madotte's increase in strength was naturally a good thing to Li Huailin. They were allies after all. Hence, Li Huailin immediately said, "Then hurry up and do it."
"But the problem is that I can't eat it now," Madotte said as he spread his hands.
"Hey, I said you can't eat it. What are you trying to do?" Li Huailin couldn't help but complain.
"What I mean is that I really can't eat it right now, and I don't want to leave this place before I eat it. If you want me to go back, help me solve this problem," Madott said.
"…" Li Huailin fell silent for a moment. "Don't tell me you want me to help you catch some people to eat and wait for you to become stronger before eating this ball of fire?"
"No, no, no … To be honest, human souls are too weak. They are basically useless to me. However, I haven't recovered my strength yet, so I can only eat something like this to fill my stomach," Madotte said. "Since you have a dragon as a pet, your strength should be pretty good, right? That's why I need you to help me find something good. "
"Ugh …" Li Huailin had a headache. "What do I need to catch, and how many do I need to catch?"
"That depends on how strong the thing you catch is. The stronger the thing, the more power it will give me," Madotte said.
"Then let me give you an example. I can catch a dragon …"
"Oh, three or four should be enough," Madotte immediately said.
"Damn you, how many dragons are there on this continent? You want me to catch three or four for you? Do I look like S13 to you?" Li Huailin couldn't help but say.
"Alright, alright, don't get too worked up," Madotte said with a smile. It seemed like he didn't take the matter seriously. "That's why I have a good plan."
"A good plan?" Li Huailin asked.
"As a matter of fact, if I recover my original strength, of course, I can swallow this ball of fire. However, I'm planning to swallow this ball of fire to heal my injuries, so what I need to do now is to swallow this ball of fire instead of swallowing it after I recover my strength," Madotte said. "I have an ability that allows me to obtain a part of the power of the things I swallow. For example, I'm communicating with you through the human prophecy. I'm using this method."
"Ugh …" Gloria couldn't take it anymore when she heard this.
"That's why my plan is to find a creature that can swallow fire for me. Then, I can swallow the fire and recover my strength. You just need to catch one of them. What do you think of this plan? "Madotte said.
"I'll just catch one." Li Huailin nodded. Of course, this was the most convenient way. It was much better than catching a bunch of them. "What do you mean by something that can swallow fire?"
"It's the Fire Devourer, Viandric." It wasn't Madotte who answered. Instead, it was Ceci, who was taking notes at the side. She took the opportunity to reply to Li Huailin.
"Oh? Little human girl, you seem to know quite a lot. " Madotte nodded. "She's right. The thing I asked you to bring back is the Fire Devourer, Viandric."
"Ugh … Who is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's not a human," Ceci said. "It's an ancient beast."
"Again?" Li Huailin was taken aback. It wasn't the first time Li Huailin encountered an ancient beast. Didn't Argos provide support to Li Huailin? This thing was quite powerful. If it wasn't for Li Huailin's bug-like weapon, Argos wouldn't have been able to defeat it.
"Yes, the Fire Devourer, Viandric is said to be an ancient beast that feeds on fire. However, it's not considered a powerful creature among the ancient beasts. It's only considered to be below average. Of course, it'll be quite difficult for you to challenge it alone, but don't you have many adventurers? You can call more people. I don't think it'll be a problem. "
"Then let me ask Argos. Is this thing considered to be above average or average among the ancient beasts?" Li Huailin asked.
"Argos, you know this guy?" Madotte was a little surprised. "That guy is barely above average."
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? This Fire Devourer or something is on the same level as Argos, alright? What's the point of Argos calling a bunch of people over? They'll wipe out a bunch of them with a single sweep of their lasers, and their HP regeneration is like an airplane. You won't die even if you want to, alright?" Li Huailin said. When they fought Argos, it survived for so long even with the Necromantic Halo. You're saying you want to call a bunch of people over to fight it? How is it possible? It won't help at all.
"It's not like you adventurers aren't afraid of death." Madotte pursed his lips. "Anyway, that's my idea. If you can think of a better idea, I'll listen to you."
"…" Li Huailin obviously couldn't think of a better idea. However, after thinking about it, although this Fire Devourer was as strong as Argos, Li Huailin still defeated Argos. Based on his current situation, it didn't matter how much health the Fire Devourer had or how fast it regenerated. After all, he could kill it in ten seconds. It didn't matter if it was strong or not, as long as it was a living creature.
"Okay, I'll think of a way." Li Huailin nodded.
"Oh? You agree? " Madotte was a little surprised. It was fine if Li Huailin didn't know about the strength of the ancient beasts, but it was obvious that Li Huailin knew about it. Since he agreed, it meant that he was confident. This human was really not ordinary.
"Okay, let me confirm. We just need to kill a boss called Fire Devourer, Viandric, and we'll be done, right? You really don't have any other requests, right?" As this was only a part of the previous quest, it wouldn't trigger a new quest. It wouldn't appear in the Quest Log. Li Huailin had to clarify things, just in case something like Dalrocos happened again.
"Hmm … I feel like there's a subtle problem," Madotte said after some thought.
"What do you mean by subtle? Is there anything else?" Li Huailin said unhappily.
"I don't really understand you humans' prophecies. I need to confirm something. When you say 'kill', you mean 'kill', right?" Madotte asked.
"Of course. What else could it be?" Li Huailin said.
"That's a problem," Madotte said. "You don't understand. What I want is to catch it. Let's be clear. I want it alive, not dead. Is that clear enough?"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Excuse me? You want me to catch it alive? "
