"Uh? This is an opening that I didn't expect … But I don't think there are many people in the world who have tasted your culinary skills before. It's my honor … "Allen bowed politely and made a decision in his mind. Then, he straightened his back and said," But I was eating when I came in. The food here is too easy to spoil … Are you going out to eat? Speaking of which, I happen to have a few unique desserts at home … "
Allen, who had a soul vessel, did not care about a body. Besides, he did not think that the Grim Reaper was a true god who would use the method that the loafer Lord Voldemort would use to protect his soul vessel to poison the cake just to kill him once.
"Oh, I'm not planning to hold a cooking competition …" Helbo snapped his fingers as he spoke.
When the two of them were eating brownies in Diagon Alley, a seat with a similar shape appeared between them. However, in this place where the sun could not be seen at all, the parasol in the middle of the seat was completely a decoration.
When the table and chair were formed, the surface of the table was like boiling mud that was bubbling in a swamp. An energy sphere that was emitting a blue light barrier similar to the one on Allen's body was squeezed out from the surface.
When the dazzling light that was initially full of vitality was adjusted, Allen saw that inside the energy sphere was actually a silver bowl with complicated carvings in the style of ancient Greece. The outer circle of the bowl was also inlaid with a circle of crystals. The energy of the magic shield was maintained by these crystals.
There were a few desserts on the silver bowl that were a little too sweet for Allen. They were the nuts and honey pancakes made by the Grim Reaper himself. The top layer of the pastry looked very thin and even had the color of honey. From the side cut, one could see that the inside was filled with nuts. There were also a few pistachio nuts exposed.
"Mr. Harris, you and Miss Ravenclaw are indeed outstanding in the areas of intelligence and wisdom … These spells and alchemy. The direction that I'm proficient in making strange objects is not in this area …" Helbo, the Grim Reaper, who wore a large silver ring, pointed at the blue light barrier on Allen's body. He said in a hoarse and suppressed voice slowly, "Studying the protective spell attached to the necklace that you have modified that essentially represents my death power's holy weapon symbol has taken me some time …"
"Mr. Helbo, you're too humble. The direction of our research is different so we can't just pick up a stone to make a Resurrection Stone or break a branch to make an old magic wand …" Allen felt a little embarrassed because he had eaten too much before he came in. Right now, he only reached his hand into the enchantment of the plate to take the snack. He did not plan to eat it yet as he shifted his gaze to the Grim Reaper, "This new cloak of yours doesn't look like an ordinary item. I roughly identified it. Can it reflect most spells? . Mirror Cloak? I can't believe you were able to get the materials to make it … "
"Aha, I know you've seen it all, but that's a commendable eyesight … No wonder Mr. Harris could get Madam Ravenclaw's love … even though she has evolved into her current state …" The Grim Reaper's ferocious old man seemed a little happy. "When I was still a mortal … I also collected a few scrolls. Actually, there are a few scrolls in your set that I originally collected …" The old man held his faintly glowing cloak in front of Allen. "This is indeed the Mirrored Cloak. The material … After all, you know I have the time to collect it … It's sometimes called 'Woven Water.' When the wearer is directly attacked by magic, its real magic effect will be revealed. All the damage caused by magic will be reflected, but the wearer will not be hurt at all."
"It can reflect all the 'magic damage' but it doesn't include things like Full Body Binding Curse that doesn't have any direct attack power. Also, it doesn't have any resistance against spells like Ten Thousand Bullets Volley that transform into something first and rely on physical collision to attack. I'm sorry, I have some oil in my hand …" Allen was still holding the snacks in his hand, but he controlled the invisible Sorcerer's Hand to pull the snacks closer to him. "But do you really need to use this thing to deal with me? Looks like I'm more important to you than I thought … "
Allen maintained a relaxed expression on his face, emphasizing that it was not impossible for him to deal with this thing. However, deep down, he still felt that it was very troublesome because this creation would allow him to use a lot of means, and it might even backfire on him after he used it.
"Facing an outstanding wizard like you, it would be too boring if I only used my original form to win this realm. Since Madam Ravenclaw is here in person, I think she and I need to fight in that form. Besides, no matter what, I used to be a wizard …" Helbo was not stingy with his praise. "I have to admit that the mortal form will affect my performance. Although the result won't change, I don't want to win too badly … Otherwise, I'll feel too embarrassed when I face Madam Ravenclaw …" The Grim Reaper's face was not angry, but his words were more angry. "You've read the full set and you're wearing the full set of equipment. I don't think it's a big deal for an old man like me to wear an extra coat? Ah, please forgive me, Mr. Harris. I'm too talkative and I've delayed your tasting … I'm sorry, you know that there aren't many living guests here. Actually, I quite like chatting with you … "
Seeing that he could not change the topic in the end, Allen looked at the overly sweet desserts in front of him that he usually did not like. He reckoned that if it was Dumbledore who was here, there would probably be a smile on his face … The Savior sighed secretly. He could not help but criticize this True God for not doing his job properly. He was prepared to fight as soon as they met, but now that he had invited him with such great hospitality, it was indeed hard for him to refuse …
Allen glanced at Death God Helbo from the corner of his eyes. He glanced at the Death God Helbo's inviting gesture and the look of anticipation on his originally combative face. This reminded him of the bird face that fed him raw rabbit meat when they first met. He noticed that Helbo had pinched the snake head on his snake staff so hard that it was spitting out the snake's tongue …
In the end, Allen could not resist his hospitality. He stretched out his pale and slender hand and held the handle of the utensil. He lowered his head and put half of his face into the shield before he took a big bite. The rich and sweet taste instantly occupied his tongue.
It was just that he had eaten too much earlier. This kind of high-calorie food seemed to have gotten stuck in his throat. Allen found it difficult to savor its taste. He pretended to put on a satisfied smile and made a sound like 'Emm …' from his mouth to express his admiration. After that, he pressed his hand on his stomach to express his satisfaction. However, it took him a lot of effort to swallow it.
Death God Helbo's white brows furrowed. His eyes lost a little light and interest. His fingers touched the utensil regretfully.
"It doesn't seem to suit your taste?" Death sighed. "You don't have to force yourself. After all, the generation gap between our appetites is thousands of years apart … Now, sugar and oil are no longer so difficult to obtain …"
"I'm sorry, it's not a matter of taste. You know, there's a matter of eating a full meal in the preparation work I did before I came …" Alan's expression became calm after he said it out loud. "And what you're looking for is not necessarily the taste itself."
"Extraordinary intelligence and wisdom are the greatest wealth of a human being." Death stared at Allen and nodded. "It's me who neglected my suggestion. You still don't know about it … I'll give you some snacks that you should miss very much. Then, you can listen and see if you're willing to accept …"
