Chapter 2181: Moon Chasing Lotus Festival V
"You do not have to have your gears turned on so much, my dear. Another primordial beast would not dare come near a being such as I. I am older than most of them as the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin were one of the first to be spawned in this world. It is also the reason why we cannot be permanently killed off and can only be sealed." Lady Envy stated as she looked at the hooded woman's face and began to feel envious of her pretty looks.
"Please stop looking at me as if you are going to rip my face off. It is unbecoming of a powerful primordial beast like you." The hooded woman stated.
"Yes. I am doing it almost subconsciously. Has the nature of humans rubbed of on me? Did I become this weak that even the lingering emotions of this former body's owner is now merging with me? For such a weak vessel, how far have I fallen?!" Lady Envy stated.
"Please keep your voice to a minimum as others might hear what we are saying." The hooded woman stated.
"Do not worry, your pretty little face. I got this thing to make sure that our conversation will not be leaked or heard by others." Lady Envy stated as she took out a talisman that prevented a conversation between the selected groups of people to be heard by those around them.
"Where did you get something like that? I was not told that you are in possession of a Legendary Tier talisman." The hooded woman stated in a serious tone.
"I merely slipped it inside of my hidden clothe compartments as I was feeling rather envious that I do not have one of these. It was basically just there in plain sight and being shown to all that enter the head's office after all." Lady Envy stated as she rubbed the talisman on her face while showing an expression of euphoria.
"Since it was taken from the head's office then he must have let you take it. I will ignore this behavior since that is an essential item that we must have for now." The hooded woman stated.
"This is the reason why you must be Envy sometimes, pretty faced girl. You do not know that being envious could actually become useful in certain situations." Lady Envy stated as the two noticed the hooded man return.
"I have talked with the others that are spread out, but it seems that they did not sense any primordial beast in the area other than Lady Envy. Maybe it was a primordial beast that lives on the ground, and it immediately vanished upon sensing Lady Envy." The hooded man stated.
"They showed fear instead of envy... how boring. That primordial beast should have felt envy upon my power and attacked to make this festival even livelier. Then again, the people here will also feel fear instead of envy which I think is more enjoyable for me." Lady Envy stated as she started to visit some stalls as well with the two hooded figures accompanying her.
"Good work. Make sure to keep your eyes open for other factions." The hooded woman told her partner while they walked close to Lady Envy.
No one actually even pointed out that two hooded individuals were accompanying a beautiful lady. The two hooded figures are using a talisman that changed the perception of those around them. To the others, they just look like two normal bodyguards accompanying a rich young lady. This would fool almost all people except those that are perceptive and immune to most talisman spells.
Adrian could actually see the hooded individuals clearly as their Charm Talismans did not work for his eyes. He just did not see it as strange because he saw like thirty other people that had hoods. When he walked past them, he made sure to weaken his aura to the point that even he would be in a difficult spot of noticing himself. He did find it strange, but he just thought that they must be secret guards to look after a noble or something.
"Where have you been?! We are already incredibly hungry!" Peridot stated as she called Adrian to their table that they managed to reserve.
"My hands could only carry so little." Adrian replied as he placed the four dishes that he bought.
Adrian wanted to place them inside of his inventory, but it seems that they cannot be placed there. It seems that the devs made sure to make the festival setting realistic to the point that they banned placing the food that they sell at the stalls inside of the inventory. Peridot and Frey could be seen having their mouth's water at the sight of the food as it looked familiar but different at the same time.
The first food looked like the classic Yakisoba that they know as most of them have already tried it since it is popular in some Asian restaurants. The difference is that the ingredients are mostly from monsters except for the noodles. The pork is from a monster called Land Hog that likes to tumble in the mud. The cabbage like vegetable is from a monster called Napa Knight which is a low-level monster.
The second food looks like okonomiyaki but most of the ingredients are from monsters as well. The third is Takoyaki and they saw some octopus like monsters earlier. They said that those are monsters that live in the nearby river called Freshwater Octopus. Adrian even had a free taste, and his taste buds exploded from the flavor.
The last dish he bought for now are candied apples, but they are pink in color instead of red. It seems that there are pink apple trees in this particular area which is why they use it. All of them enjoyed the night with the food and even did some group games. They even bought some masks to commemorate the occasion. The last thing they did is a group picture to solidify that they had the best and complete experience.
