Number One was trimming the plants in the garden. It was supposed to serve Sunders, but it had been a long time since Sunders left the house.
Since then, Number One had returned to the way it used to be when Sunders wasn't around.
Trimming the plants, cleaning the house … Apart from delivering food to the Krakoks every now and then, Number One didn't change much.
Today, Mister Padt left the house early in the morning. Number One had nothing else to do, so it went back to doing its boring work.
Just as it was trimming the flowers and plants, a young girl suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mansion accompanied by a black and white butterfly.
Number One hurried to the study and spoke to the closed door, "Master, there's a guest outside."
"No," Sunders replied in a tired voice after a long pause.
"Yes, Master." Number One was about to go out and explain to the girl.
But as soon as it turned around, it saw a girl in a purple cloak standing behind it.
"Sunders, your old friend is here. Why don't you come out and greet her?" The girl ignored Number One's attempt to stop her.
A moment later, Sunders spoke again, "It's you? What are you doing here? "
"Aren't you going to let me in?" The girl didn't get an answer. She rolled her eyes and pushed the door open.
Seeing the girl push the door open, Number 1 immediately flew forward to stop her.
"Can't you see that your master didn't stop me?" The girl pushed Number One away and entered the study.
Number One tried to follow them, but it was knocked away by a gentle force field. "Close the door," Number One said.
Bang!
Number One stood by the door for a while before it returned to the garden to continue trimming the plants. However, the wizards passing by all sighed when they saw this. Was it just their imagination? Did this Mystic Eye butler look disappointed? Did Rune Eyes have emotions too?
When the girl entered the study and saw Sunders sitting in the shadow with a pale face, she was a little surprised. "You look …"
"Tell me. What do you want from me?" Sunders interrupted her without looking up.
The girl tilted her head and pretended to be confused. "You know who I am?"
"Greya, you're a truth-finder now. Do you recognize people by their appearance?"
Greya chuckled. She was not offended by Sunders' sarcasm. "I do have something to discuss with you. But …" Greya paused and observed Sunders carefully. "You seem to be in trouble too."
"It's none of your business. Just tell me what you want. But I have to tell you in advance that I probably won't be free for the next hundred years. "
"Soul mutation?" Greya frowned.
Sunders grimaced and grabbed Greya's neck from afar. "You came to me just to die?"
"Ahem … I … I just got a new body. I haven't become a wizard yet, and you're already going to kill me?" Greya tried her best to hold her breath.
Sunders let go of Greya's neck, but he kept his murderous gaze on Greya.
Greya felt a little better and panted. "I don't mean to pry into your privacy. But my current state allows me to sense something about you."
Sunders narrowed his eyes, which glowed in a green light. He could clearly see Greya's soul.
Apart from Greya's soul, Angor also saw a weak soul trembling in fear.
Seeing this, Sunders confirmed that she was not lying and snorted, "You took someone else's body but didn't destroy her soul. No wonder her soul and body are unstable and her strength is recovering slowly."
Greya shrugged. "That's why I'm here. I need you to help me solve this problem."
"It's just the soul of an apprentice. I can easily destroy it. Do you really need me to do it myself?" Sunders spoke in a plain tone, "Unless you're asking for something else."
Greya nodded. "Yes. I want you to help me find my body. I prefer my original one to this bean sprout."
"I don't have time. Besides, we don't know each other that well. "
Greya giggled. "Of course I won't come empty-handed. If you help me find my body, I'll lend you mine for 200 years. She's also a Gourmet student, and I taught her. She's only one step away from becoming a wizard … What do you think?"
In the wizarding world, having a Gourmet Wizard as a chef was something to be proud of. Even an apprentice would be highly respected. Gourmet Wizards were extremely rare, which was why the eyeless man at Twilight Auction was sold at such a high price.
Brute Cavern did not have a single Gourmet Wizard. There were only a few apprentices, and all of them were determined to leave Brute Cavern and join Candy House to become real Gourmet Wizards. The reason was that Brute Cavern did not have any Gourmet heritage.
It was a very generous offer to exchange one of Greya's apprentices for one of the most influential figures in the world of Gourmet Wizards.
Aside from saving face, it could also help Brute Cavern make up for the missing Gourmet Art heritage.
Greya believed her professor could see the value of such a condition.
However —
"No, I don't have time." Of course, Sunders could see the value in this offer. However, he was not an altruist, and he did not want to contribute to the lack of Gourmet knowledge in Brute Cavern.
Greya's expression froze. She did not expect Sunders to reject her offer.
"You really don't want to think about it?" Greya frowned. "It might be difficult for others to find my body, but for you …"
"I said I don't have time. See you later." Sunders waved a hand and opened the door.
Greya did not leave. Her expression changed several times as if she was hesitating. In the end, she made up her mind and said, "If you don't like this offer, I'll change it."
Sanders raised his head and looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
"I can help you solve your soul mutation problem. You know, my original spell, 'Life Creation'. I can use you and your strange body's energy to create a dish to solve your problem. "
Hearing Greya's words, Sunders, who had been wearing an expressionless face all this time, grinned.
He let Greya in because he wanted to hear this exact sentence.
His problem had been suppressed for the past month, but it was still a source of trouble. If he did not solve the root problem, "he" might pop up again one day.
Until Greya showed up, he had no idea how to solve the problem.
He was thinking about how to bring it up, but since Greya asked for it, and he could see how desperate she was, he decided to beat her at her own game.
"You're willing to use half a century's worth of derivation in exchange for that meat mountain? You're really willing to give it up, "Sunders said in a plain tone.
"Meat mountain? Oh, no. That's plump and sexy, "Greya protested. She then put on a serious look." So? I wasted a precious derivation opportunity. If you don't agree, I can't do anything about it. "
Everyone knew that Greya created a Gourmet spell, "Life Creation", when she became a truth-finder. However, only a small number of people knew that this "creation" was actually made up of two parts. One was "creation" and the other was "life".
Greya usually showed "Life Creation" to the public. For example, Section Ephemera, Twisting Protozoa, and even Toby were all created by "Life Creation".
However, the most powerful part of Greya's spell was "Life Creation". "Life Creation" was a spell that was almost as powerful as "Mystery Domain". It could create all kinds of strange recipes and derive relevant recipes from the desired effects. The priceless Section Ephemera was created by "Life Creation". "Life Creation".
However, there were limitations to the spell. Greya could not derive recipes that were beyond her knowledge, and most of the recipes she derived were single-use ones that only had supporting effects. Most importantly, the cooldown period of this spell was at least fifty years.
The more difficult a recipe was, the longer it would take. Section Ephemera was a living dish that took Greya nearly a century to figure out.
There were many limitations, but Greya's "Life Creation" spell was the most practical support spell Sunders had ever seen.
Sunders still remembered the day when the "Life Creation" spell was first formed. The strange phenomenon that shocked the entire world.
This was how Greya became a truth-finder wizard in a high-profile manner, which made Candy House a holy place for all Gourmet Wizards.
This was something Sunders learned by accident.
Other people might not be able to solve his problem, but "Life Creation"? "Life Creation" could definitely do it!
"Sure." Sunders nodded.
Greya smiled. "Since you've agreed, you have to help me find my body. Without it, I can't use "Life Creation". "
Sunders saw Greya's expression and had a bad feeling. "Where is your body?"
"Nightmare Realm," Greya whispered.
…
Following Greya's explanation, Sunders learned the whole story.
According to Greya's experience in the Nightmare Realm, the strongest monsters she encountered were legendary monsters. Sunders assumed that Greya did not fall into the core area of the Nightmare Realm. She was probably in the outer area of the Nightmare Realm, similar to Nether City.
Greya was shocked by Sunders' explanation. A legendary monster and dozens of half-legendaries, and this was only the outer area of the Nightmare Realm? If this was the outer area, what would the core area be like?
If Sunders could hear Greya's thoughts, he would probably say, "You already know what the core area is like, don't you?" They first met at Greya's Barbie's Restaurant. Angor told Sunders about his talent test in front of everyone. If he was not mistaken, the place Angor went to was the core area of the Nightmare Realm.
Sunders showed a troubled look after explaining the situation to Greya.
Greya had hidden her body somewhere, so Angor had no problem sneaking in. However, it was not easy to steal a body from a legendary monster. Besides, even if he succeeded, he was not sure if he could take something out of the Nightmare Realm.
If only he could take out Singularity Dispersive Meditation, he would not need to ask Angor to go to the Nightmare Realm again.
Unless Greya went there herself, or …
Angor's image flashed in his mind.
