Chapter 797 Mrs. Octopus's Homemade Cookies
Neptune domain.
Overlord star.
Undersea sanctuary.
The brown-yellow sticky, mud-like drink rolled and bubbled in the exquisite teapot, emitting curling smoke.
Eldar ranger Hagatha Spirit Wind and Void Eldar demon hunter Noct sat on the coral sofas on both sides with strange expressions.
Their intuition was screaming loudly, telling them desperately that the stuff in the teapot must not be drunk!
But reason kept emphasizing, reminding them that this was the underwater sanctuary, the private residence of the star domain overlord Lady Octopus!
As two golden boots warriors who had been through the trap,
they knew that being asked to meet with the overlord alone meant that the problem was already very serious.
If they refused the tea again and gave one or two negative comments...
I'm afraid it would be aggravated!
So no matter how unpalatable the taste was, no matter how weird the taste was,
they had to pinch their noses and swallow it without leaving a drop!
Hagatha and Noct exchanged glances, and both saw the same belief in each other's eyes.
At this moment, a sticky and slippery clacking sound came from the left side of the two.
Mrs. Octopus was wearing casual home clothes and placed a plate of small cookies on the coffee table in front of the two.
She grinned, revealing two rows of fine teeth:
"Don't be nervous, you two. I called you here not to accuse you, but just to get a deeper understanding of what happened inside the Demon Realm at that time."
"The tea needs to be boiled for a while, you can eat some of the small cookies I made first."
Perhaps thinking of someone's previous vigilance, Mrs. Octopus immediately added:
"By the way, I have no interest in Eldar women and Void Eldar people, so you can eat these small cookies with confidence."
Hagatha: "..."
Noct: "..."
From what Mrs. Octopus said,
if there is someone she is interested in among the people present,
then the cookies...will be replaced with a version with added ingredients? !
Hiss...
Is this the way the star domain overlord acts?
So terrifying!
The two of them took a deep breath in their hearts, and pretended that nothing had happened. They reached out to the coffee table and picked up a small cookie.
"It looks... quite normal..."
Hagatha swallowed her saliva, noticed the look of Mrs. Octopus pretending to be casual but actually very expectant, gritted her teeth, and put the cookie into her mouth.
There was no horrible smell like a dead body or smelly socks exploding in the mouth.
The strong wheat aroma mixed with the light salty taste of sea salt can even be called delicious!
Hagatha raised her eyebrows slightly, and just when she was about to praise it, she saw that Noct on the opposite side had already grabbed the second piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Because of the translucent body structure of the ethereal, Hagatha could easily see the whole process of the cookie being crushed from the mouth and then entering the body.
She saw that the cookie crumbs mixed with the taste of sea salt quickly turned into tadpole creatures the size of a fingernail during the falling process.
They passed through the restraints of the esophagus and stomach wall, and quickly moved towards the mind core of the Void Clan, which was flashing with a faint light in the chest.
But Nocto was unaware of this, and his attention was obviously focused on the delicious cookies.
"Madam, I'm not flattering you, your skill in making cookies is really unique!"
"Even a Void Clan like me who rarely craves for food can hardly resist its charm..."
"If you like it, eat more." Mrs. Octopus smiled even more, and her big mouth opened to an exaggerated arc, as if she might open it to eat people at any time.
When the tadpoles transformed from the cookie crumbs drilled into Nocto's mind core, Mrs. Octopus closed her eyes lightly, as if she was sensing it carefully.
Not long after, she showed a satisfied and slightly surprised smile on her face.
"I knew that my little sweetheart must have concealed something from me... Men's mouths are really deceiving..."
Mrs. Octopus gently patted her cheek with her fat palms, with a slightly regretful look in her eyes, like a resentful young woman who lost her virginity to a heartless man.
Hagatha didn't know whether she should interrupt Madam Octopus when she was mumbling.
But judging from Nocto's performance, she felt it was necessary to remind him.
Because the Void Demon Hunter sitting opposite her had a dull face,
his pupils were dilated and out of focus, and an unknown liquid like saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
It felt like he was poisoned by Madam Octopus's homemade cookies...
"Madam, Nocto..." Hagatha hesitated.
"It's okay, he just ate too many cookies, he will be fine after a rest." Madam Octopus seemed to be still immersed in thinking and did not explain too much.
The atmosphere was silent,
only Madam Octopus's tentacles slapped the ground rhythmically, making sticky and slippery popping sounds.
Until the yellow-brown liquid in the teapot stopped rolling and bubbling, the star domain overlord spoke again.
She asked Hagatha a question:
"If, I mean if, you see the shadow that took away Maorong's life seed in the Demon Realm again, can you recognize him?"
Hagatha was stunned, then her eyes fixed, and she said seriously:
"Yes! I have a deep impression of him!"
"Not only his appearance, I also remember his voice and tone clearly!"
Hagatha swore that she would never forget the feeling that made people hate him to the point of itching teeth and being mean to the bones!
"It's OK if you can recognize it. I have a task that you need to complete." The thoughtful look on Mrs. Octopus's face was swept away, and she became cheerful again.
"Task? Just give it to me directly?" Hagatha was stunned again.
According to the normal process, the tasks accepted by the generals are all issued by the Overlord Council.
Depending on the degree of completion, they will go to the Council to receive rewards.
The Golden Boot General may be able to skip a few complicated steps, but to complete the task, they still have to hand it over to the Council.
Hagatha is really a big girl getting married when she receives a task directly from the star domain overlord. This is the first time.
It must be very important.
"Yes, I will ask them to record it at the Council. Time is tight, so we won't follow the normal process."
Mrs. Octopus walked forward slowly, picked up the boiling teapot, and began to add some unknown ingredients into it.
Hagatha heard this and became more certain of her guess, and her expression became more serious:
"What is the task?"
She was ready to go through fire and water.
Even if Lady Octopus asked her to go into the Demon Realm again, Hagatha would not frown.
After all, this is a good opportunity to make up for her mistakes.
Maybe if she completes the task well, she can get extra rewards.
"Send a boot." Lady Octopus said without turning her head:
"A general has been promoted to Golden Boots, you can help run errands and deliver it to him."
"Ah?" Hagatha was stunned.
Just send a boot?
So simple? !
She was still thinking about making up for her mistakes!
Just send a boot, how much can it make up for! ?
Moreover,
which Golden Boots made great achievements and was promoted to Golden Boots?
How could she, a socialite among the Golden Boots generals, not know? !
