"First-generation Dream Plant Fairy?" Greya's eyes widened. "There are generations of Dream Plant Fairies?"
Greya looked at the baby as if she wanted to ask, but the baby also looked confused. It seemed he didn't know what a first-generation Dream Plant Fairy was.
Greya had no choice but to look at Angor again.
"You're focusing on the wrong thing. It's not about generations. Why is he here? Did you kidnap him? "
The fleshy baby shook its head at Angor and began to mumble something in an anxious manner.
Angor couldn't understand what the baby was saying, but he could tell that the baby denied Angor's guess. In other words, Greya didn't kidnap him.
Angor was still doubtful about this.
From the baby's point of view, maybe Greya didn't kidnap him. But the word "kidnap" could be redefined.
Perhaps Greya used her words to trick the baby into coming out, but in the baby's eyes, he was the one who came out of his own free will. The same result could be described in different ways. It could even turn black into white, and the victim could take the initiative to become a fan.
In addition, this baby didn't look very smart. Perhaps what it saw was just the truth behind the powder.
He looked at Greya again. Compared to the baby, he wanted to hear the answer from Greya's mouth more.
"I didn't kidnap him. He ran out on his own and met me on the way, so I gave him a ride." Greya shrugged.
The baby nodded as well, as if Greya was telling the truth.
However, Angor was still doubtful. There were too many suspicious points in Greya's words.
Angor glanced at Greya without saying anything. He pointed at the air with a finger.
In the baby's eyes, ripples appeared in the space in front of them. When the ripples disappeared, Greya and Angor were still standing there, but their eyes were no longer as lively as before. It was as if they had lost their souls.
Angor's eyes suddenly brightened up. "I'll talk to Greya alone. Don't worry," Angor said to the baby in a soft voice. "I'll talk to Greya alone. Don't worry."
With that, the light in his eyes faded away.
When the baby saw this, he tilted his head and thought for a moment. He seemed to have understood something. He sat down and looked at the figures not far away, waiting for them to become alive again.
On the other hand, in Greya's eyes, she was still standing at the same spot, but she felt like she was now in a different dimension from the "mountain of flesh".
No, it wasn't as if.
Greya carefully scanned her surroundings. She was still in the same place, but she could sense that she was now in a quiet, almost lifeless mirror space.
The baby was less than 20 meters away from her, but Greya felt like there was an entire world between them.
"Where are we?" Greya looked at Angor in confusion.
"Illusion." "I think it's better to be direct with you. His words don't carry much weight." Angor shook his head.
"Illusion? Tsk tsk. Your illusions are more realistic than before. You didn't learn illusions like Sumesh, did you? " Greya didn't doubt Angor's words. Illusions from Phantom Island were all like this. They were strange yet realistic. They didn't look like "fake" illusions at all.
"… Nope."
"No? Then you're as good as Sunders in illusions. If that's the case, there's nothing for you to learn here. How about you leave Phantom Island and come to Candy House? "
Angor didn't mind Greya's provocation at all. "If my Gourmet spells can reach the same level as my illusions, I don't mind going to Candy House."
Greya's teasing mood was instantly silenced by Angor's words.
What kind of gourmet spell is this? Angor couldn't even learn the most common level-0 Gourmet cantrip. No, even if he learned it, he could still make Mana Bread that smelled like socks. Who would eat it?
Angor's eyes dimmed a little when he saw Greya's reaction. He was joking, but if Greya was telling the truth, he might be tempted.
But Greya didn't even want to lie to him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem. Let's get back to business." "You said the baby wanted to leave on his own. Are you sure you didn't do anything to him?"
"What can I do? He wanted to leave, so I brought him out. Also, he's not called Meat Baby. He calls himself Fluorescent Moss. But I heard the fairy guards call him Moss Baby. "
Moss Baby? Earlier, he assumed that the guards were here to capture the "meat mountain". But since they used such a nickname to call the "meat mountain", it didn't seem like they held a grudge against the "meat mountain".
So, what exactly happened?
"Tell me. What's going on between you and him?"
Greya shrugged. "Like I said, he left on his own. He said he wanted to check out the humans' territory, so I brought him here. But he smells good and tastes good, so we're working together now. "
Angor didn't think much about the first part of the story, but Greya's last sentence stunned him.
Moss Baby smells good and tastes good?!
You're raising him as an ingredient?!
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a Dark Gourmet, and I don't treat Moss Baby as a living ingredient. I'm saying it tastes good. Here, the mushroom he gave you. Try it if you don't believe me. "
Angor looked at the "mushroom" in his hand and frowned. "Let's not talk about the taste. This is his flesh, right?"
Greya shook her head. "That's not the right way to put it. It's more of a burden than a piece of meat. Or, you can think of it as nails, dead skin, body hair, skin … anything. These things won't do any harm to his body, but they'll only become a burden if they accumulate. "
Angor didn't know what to say. The more he listened, the more unlikely he was to eat them.
"Besides, he's eating them too. Look behind us if you don't believe me."
Angor followed Greya's gaze and looked at the Moss Baby in the "outside" world. The creature was sitting on the ground and staring at them. While doing so, it plucked some mushrooms or other moss-like plants from its body and tossed them into its mouth to chew.
As the Moss Baby chewed, the "burdens" on its body grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Angor didn't know what to say.
Greya was right. Those burdens were edible. Was this why Greya agreed to work with him?
Angor asked again.
Greya didn't tease him this time. Instead, she told Angor the whole story.
It was exactly as Greya said.
The Moss Baby left the tree on its own and wanted to go to the human world. It met Greya on its way, and Greya brought it here.
However, Greya wasn't the kind of person who was willing to be a babysitter. She took the Moss Baby with her because she saw something special about it.
And that special thing was the burdens on the Moss Baby!
After leaving the mother tree, the Moss Baby was heading to the human world alone. When it got hungry, it would eat the moss on its body. On its way, it met Greya. Greya was going to the mother tree because she wanted to see how Dream Plant Sprites ate their food.
Greya's "Gourmet Radar" immediately went off when she saw Moss Baby eating her own moss. Unlike Angor, Greya was not as reserved when it came to food. As long as she was sure that the food had potential, she would eat it no matter how dark it was.
So, Greya shamelessly approached the Moss Baby and tried to get a taste.
The Moss Baby wanted to go to the human world and see Greya. It also wanted to learn something from Greya, so it agreed to give some of its burdens to Greya.
When Greya tried the burdens for the first time, she didn't find them all that tasty.
They were just normal food.
However, as Greya learned more about the burdens on the Moss Baby, she found something shocking.
The burdens on the Moss Baby were not only self-produced, but they could also change their shape and taste according to what the Moss Baby was eating.
For example, in the beginning, the moss on Moss Baby's body was a light yellow moss that had almost no smell. The reason for this was that the Moss Baby didn't have the concept of food. It only ate the moss on its body when it was hungry, and the moss came from … photosynthesis.
This monotonous life lasted until last month.
On that day, many different species suddenly appeared on the ground. Many Dream Plant Sprites were alerted.
However, the Moss Baby didn't pay much attention to it as it liked to eat, sleep, and eat.
One night, a group of Firefly Butterflies broke into the Moss Baby's house.
After Moss Baby unintentionally swallowed the butterflies, he was surprised to find that he could control some of the excreta on his body.
The next day, the burdens on the Moss Baby's body changed from pale yellow moss to glowing milky white moss.
The texture didn't change, but it tasted a bit more like honey.
This was the first time the Moss Baby tasted "sweetness", and it was like a little bear who ate honey. It couldn't be stopped.
For several days, the Moss Baby kept turning its burdens into glowing moss.
However, the Moss Baby still got tired of the taste, so it began its "modification plan".
It began to eat species it had never seen before, and as these species modified the Moss Baby, it could produce more and more burdens.
Not every species was suitable for the Moss Baby's taste buds, but it could always find something that satisfied it.
However, as time went by, the Moss Baby noticed that there were fewer and fewer species around. Later, it learned that the Vine Lady had banned certain species that might harm the Mother Tree.
Later, the Moss Baby learned from some Dream Plant Sprites who went to sow seeds that there were more species in the human world, and more delicious food.
The Moss Baby, who had already turned on his gluttonous mode, listened attentively.
The Vine Lady had forbidden non-sowing Dream Plant Sprites from entering the human world, but the Moss Baby couldn't wait any longer.
One night, when no one noticed, the Moss Baby set off.
Normally, the Moss Baby wouldn't be able to escape. After all, the Mother Tree was surrounded by forests, and the forests were the eyes of Dream Plant Sprites.
And it didn't take long for the Moss Baby to be found by the Fairy Guards.
However, the Moss Baby was a stubborn one. If the first time didn't work, it would try again, and again.
However, the Moss Babies failed every time, which was why the Fairy Guards began to slack off instead of being on high alert.
However, Greya was the first person Baby Moss ran into when it was trying to escape.
Greya also noticed the Moss Baby's unique talent, which made her feel like she was looking at a dream.
So, Greya decided to take the Moss Baby back to the forest.
Thanks to the Fairy Guards' carelessness and Greya's help, the Moss Baby successfully escaped from the forest.
However, there were also plants outside the forest, which could also serve as the Fairy Guards' eyes to track the Moss Baby. Left with no other choice, Greya and the Moss Baby began to dig underground tunnels to get as far away from the Fairy Guards as possible.
They did run into some fairy guards along the way, but with Greya's help, they managed to escape unscathed.
Until today, when they were about to reach the new city, they ran into Angor again.
…
"That's how it is." Greya glanced at the Moss Baby outside. "He's a treasure."
"The first time I tried his moss, it tasted ordinary. But after a few days, his mushrooms are already amazing. "Greya's eyes shone brightly.
Of course, Greya was the biggest contributor. She had the authority of "Rhythmic Membrane", which allowed her to provide the Moss Babies with the best materials at any time, allowing them to mutate as much as possible.
"I have a feeling that he's going to give me a big surprise very soon!"
Angor was speechless. No matter how delicious the mushrooms were, they were still Moss Babies!
Still, he couldn't help but ask when he saw Greya's excited look, "Is this a supernatural ingredient?"
Greya shook her head. "Not yet. But it's delicious."
"It doesn't matter if it's not a supernatural ingredient?"
"A Gourmet Wizard is all about delicious food. It doesn't matter if it's a supernatural ingredient or not. For example, your teacher, Jon, used ordinary ingredients to make his food, but it tasted amazing.
"But that doesn't mean the Moss Baby can't produce supernatural creatures. When the taste reaches its peak, it can naturally affect the material world, and even affect the higher level of the spiritual plane. This can be considered a transcendent ingredient. "
