40 His Worth

All of the Cordis Empire users were on alert.

Right now, Valkyrie Kingdom from the Northern Continent and the Eivelis Empire had formed an alliance. This meant that there was a high possibility that the users from Eivelis Empire would have monopoly over countless artifacts, information and various valuable things. In addition, there was also a possibility that the guilds stationed in the Eivelis Empire could outclass and outperform the guilds from Cordis Empire.

The User Callian was the guild master of Iris Guild, one of the top 4 guilds in the country. He was ranked 22nd in the overall rankings and was considered to be one among the countless strong players in the country.

In addition, Iris Guild was so overwhelmingly strong that when users were asked ‘Who’s the best guild in the country?’ all of them would answer: ‘Of course it’s Iris Guild!’. There might be four great guilds in the country but among the four, Iris Guild had the most advantageous position.

Iris Guild’s Callian was now standing in front of a cave with a grave expression on his face. The door that led inside the cave was shut tight and the person who entered the closed off cave was none other than the Necromancer Bach.

‘Bach. You’re the only one I can trust.’

Necromancer Bach had an outstanding ability.

It was soul summoning!

If the soul summoning skill was triggered successfully then they would be able to summon a soul and ask them some questions. However, this was a special skill that had a rare chance of being successfully triggered. In addition, there would be a large penalty inflicted on Bach with each question asked.

Bang, bang, bang!

The door of the cave slowly opened and Bach, who was wearing black robes, walked out from the inside.

“Did the soul summoning succeed?”

When he heard Callian’s words, Bach slowly nodded his head.

What he summoned was the soul of a deceased priest from Valkyrie Kingdom. The body was recovered by Iris Guild in case the raid to take away King Varen failed. Through the body, they could summon the soul and locate the Kingdom of Valkyrie.

“Can it help us change the situation of the game right now?”

Bach smiled deeply.

“Yes. There’s actually a simpler way to drive out the Legend Guild from Valkyrie Kingdom.”

“......Oho?!”

Callian was caught in surprise.

There was a simpler way to drive out Legend Guild. Right now, all of the guilds were trying to find a way to keep the growth of Legend Guild in check since they were set to be the first guild to acquire a territory in Valkyrie Kingdom.

Bach chuckled deeply before explaining.

“You can poison the ritual food for God Juis.”

“Poison the ritual food for God Juis?”

Callian looked at him incomprehensibly as Bach retold him the stories he had heard inside one by one.

It was said that she found the ritual food once to be distasteful and casted a terrible drought over the kingdom for several days. So what if the food was poisoned?

“There would be a great disaster......”

Callian murmured to himself.

What if the ritual food to be served to the God Juis is something that she does not like? And beyond that it is something that is laden with poison? Then a devastating catastrophe might sweep the whole of the Northern Continent.

“The priest was a high ranking priest.”Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

“Really?”

“And I received a lot of information from him?”

If the soul summoning was successful then the summoned soul had no choice but to answer the question of the summoner.

Then, Bach said...

“The Valkyrie Kingdom will be thrown into disarray for quite some time because of the angry God Juis. And since it will happen during the appearance of the Legend Guild then the public will be furious.”

Callian nodded his head.

It definitely made sense. But what could they get from something like this? Was he saying that they could only achieve the fall of Legend Guild and nothing else?

Bach spoke as if he had read his mind.

“We can find a way to save them from their situation. Originally, the priest was someone amazing. He was someone who could give a hidden quest to users. He said that if we want to calm the angry God Juis, then we have to find the ‘Corrupted Juis’ Dungeon’. If we find the dungeon, then we will be able to find the ‘Spirit of the Wrathful Juis’ inside. Once we find the ‘Spirit of the Wrathful Juis’ we can calm her down if we offer her a sumptuous banquet. He also said that there will be amazing rewards.”

‘The dishes are made only with expensive ingredients.’

It was the only reason why it was expensive. It had to be expensive since they used plenty of expensive ingredients for the dish.

“Uhm. I think it’s best we make a final deal with Minhyuk here.”

This was Genie’s answer. In fact, Minhyuk said that it was enough for him to get ‘Delicious Ingredients’. But shouldn’t Minhyuk’s compensation differ depending on the value of the buffed dishes that he had made?

Minhyuk understood what Genie meant. Guilds couldn’t be kept running just on friendship. Everyone should be helpful to each other and pay their services according to their value. Most of the guilds that depended only on friendship were still at the bottom of the ladder.

“Then, why don’t we do it like this? I’ll cook for you and you’ll get the delicious ingredients for me.”

“D, delicious ingredients?”

All of the guild members tilted their head at him.

Not millions of gold, nor a few platinum but delicious ingredients?

“Our Minhyuk here is a glutton for food......”

“Ha, haha...... That’s a bit too much.”

Crow smiled awkwardly at them.

Genie did not bother explaining to them about Minhyuk’s condition. She also did not think that it was necessary to explain about his family.

“If you don’t mind this then how about 20 million gold for a rare buffed dish, an A-ranked ingredient for a unique buffed dish, an S-ranked ingredient for an epic buffed dish and two S-ranked ingredients for a legendary buffed dish?”

He made a rough calculation for the rest of the guild members.

For a rare buffed dish, 20 million gold. However, a rare buffed dish costs about 1 platinum from Twilight Chef Black. And in the case of the unique ranked dish that Crow bought from them, it was at around 400 million gold or 4 platinum. If they used purely A-ranked ingredients for the dish then the price could range anywhere from 50 million gold to 1 platinum. Chef Black’s dish was priced at 4 platinum. This was because a dish was priced depending on the reputation of the chef, the cost of the cooking and ingredients and the value of the grade of the dish.

What Minhyuk did was something similar. His rate would differ depending on the cost of the cooking, the price of the ingredient and the grade of the dish. However, there was still a loophole here.

“I think it’s still too expensive. GM-nim.”

Crow said that.

“......I think it’s a bit cheaper.”

Genie blurted out the rest of her words while Crow tilted his head in confusion.

“Cheap?”

The other guild members were buzzing in confusion while Ace was bewildered.

“Eyy. Noona. The dishes made by the world-renowned Chef Black are around 400~600 million gold but that was Chef Black. But he......”

He was a chef that no one had ever heard of. In all honesty, his strength as the Frying Pan Killer was already proven. However, plenty of them had said that he was just lucky. Of course, aside from his strength he had not proven his skills with cooking. People wouldn’t believe anything that they haven’t seen.

At that moment, Genie realized something.

‘I was sending out a proposal to the guild members without showing them what Minhyuk is capable of......’

She smiled wryly. This response was something that she could understand. The dishes made by Black, the Twilight Chef, were superior to the rare classed dishes made by other chefs. And there was also his name which added the value to his dishes. In fact, the dishes made by Twilight Chef Black were said to be extremely delicious so the high price was completely validated.

But for Minhyuk? Nothing had been proven yet. Whether it was the buff or the taste, there was still nothing. There was also the question of whether his cooking could replace the buff of priests. Buffed dishes were basically not eaten unless they could surpass the buffs casted by priests.

If they considered all of this, then it was safe to say that Minhyuk’s demands were extremely absurd.

Minhyuk stayed quiet while the guild members spoke. He assessed their responses before speaking.

“Twilight Chef Black? His buffs were that good......? I don’t know about that.”

“......?”

“......?”

“......?”

All of the guild members' attention was focused on him.

Well. I really also don’t know about that. Kek. After all, he was just an apostle to the Food God so... Kek. It seems like there will be food. I’m already drooling.
