Chapter 40 The Queen's Gift

Celucia reached out her hand, and a black rose branch broke free from the soil and floated in mid-air.

Under the soft green light, a faint fragrance wafted from the branches.

"Rose petals can be made into healing potions to cure diseases and wounds."

After saying that, she put the branch back into the soil.

Loren pondered to himself.

Recovery potions are quite valuable magical potions.

The value of the Black Rose is no less than that of the Demon Flame Grass!

After touring the plants in the farmland, Loren extended an invitation.

“Miss Lucy, there are many other interesting foods in town, many of which are made from crops grown in the fields. I can take you to try them.”

Celucia did not refuse.

She never expected to see so many novel plants in such a small place as Shashi Town.

Two magical plants, and a crop that is very rare in the Elf Kingdom.

I couldn't help but feel curious about the novel food that Loren had mentioned.

Loren led the Elf Queen to the food street.

"Lord Lord!"

The workers and knights on the street all bowed to Loren.

Loren nodded slightly in response.

Loren didn't know the Elf Queen's tastes.

He first recommended a food that wasn't too spicy: Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe).

"Miss Lucy, this food is called Jianbing Guozi (煎饼果子)."

A large pancake is made by frying whole-grain flour and eggs.

Add flame radish shreds, flame carrot shreds, cabbage, and various types of grilled meat.

Roll it up and it's ready to eat.

Loren handed the jianbing guozi to Celucia.

Serusia took it.

Looking at the large pancake wrapped in paper, she didn't know how to start eating it.

Looking at Loren, I saw him take a bite, which was extremely unseemly.

Is this guy really a nobleman?
Smelling the aroma of the pancakes, Serusia really wanted to try them.

But as the Elf Queen, and having already been recognized, she had to maintain her image.

"Let's go look around somewhere else first."

Serusia put the jianbing guozi aside.

Seeing that Celucia was still reserved, Loren took her to a rather elegant-looking restaurant.

Like other restaurants.

This restaurant serves almost entirely characteristic home-style dishes.

The portions were very small.

Restaurants like this are designed for reserved aristocrats.

Just as Loren was about to enter, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Loren, your food street is pretty good!"

A Lolis has appeared on the food street.

She doesn't even bother bringing a knight when she comes to Sandstone Town now.

Loris looked at Celucia beside Loren, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.

What a beautiful and elegant woman!
She turned to look at Loren, "Loren, you wouldn't be keeping a mistress behind your sister-in-law's back, would you?"

Loren's heart skipped a beat.

This girl is truly courting death!

He didn't want to suffer an undeserved disaster.

"Loris! Speak properly, this is Miss Lucy."

Lorice's reaction was fairly quick.

She sensed something was wrong from Loren's expression and quickly changed her attitude.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, I was very rude just now..."

Celucia glanced at Loris indifferently without saying a word.

Loren introduced, "This is my sister, Loris, the lord of the coastal town, and an excellent knight."

Celucia nodded gently.

Truly outstanding.

At such a young age, he had already been promoted to Earth Knight, and it would be difficult to find another like him in the entire Elf Kingdom.

She previously thought that Loren was too weak to be of high caliber.

However, if we add a young Earth Knight, then it's worth training him.

Upon entering the restaurant, Loren asked the chef to bring the food.

White bread paired with delicate, small portions of home-style dishes.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, stir-fried cabbage with meat, pea shoot soup...

What are ordinary home-style dishes are unique features never before seen in the Elf Kingdom.

Even at banquets among the nobility, there were only two types of dishes: roast meat and stew. However, compared to the original flavor of roast meat, the combination of meat and vegetables left a more lasting impression.

In particular, the spiciness imparted to the ingredients by the Demon Flame crop.

For some, it is an indispensable flavor in food.

Loris sat awkwardly at the dining table, without saying a word.

Loren secretly observed Serusia's reaction.

Her expression did not change noticeably.

It just kept putting food into its mouth.

She seems to be quite satisfied with today's hospitality.

Serusia really appreciated the dishes.

But more than enjoying the delicious food, she was curious about how Loren came up with the methods for making so many dishes.

Could these dishes become popular in the Elf Kingdom?

Wizard lords, novel crops, unique cooking methods...

Serusia is full of curiosity about the future development of Sandstone Town.

After enjoying the delicious food, Loren took out the Rose Fairy Insect.

"Miss Lucy, my Rose Fairy Bug has entered the pupal stage. Do you think it can evolve successfully?"

Loris was startled.

Loren's Rose Fairy Insects have also entered the fat pupal stage?
Even she didn't know about this news.

Loren actually told others?
Who exactly is this beautiful woman named Lucy?

Serusia took the elf insect.

The Rose Fairy Insect appeared weak and listless due to its obesity.

But I could sense the presence of the Elf Queen.

It became especially excited.

It seems to be trying its best to break free from its cocoon.

Serusia handed the sprite insect back to Loren.

"You've taken very good care of it. Just wait a few more days."

Loren immediately felt reassured.

Upon seeing this, Lolis quickly took out her peanut spirit insect.

"Miss Lucy, my Peanut Sprite Bug has also entered the pupal stage. Do you think it can evolve successfully?"

Serusia took the peanut fairy insect.

This little sprite only enters its pupal stage at the age of seven, so its chances of evolving are very low.

Fortunately, it has recently acquired pheromones from many new plant varieties.

For example, the Demon Flame Peanut that Loren introduced before.

The Demon Flame Peanut was a great help to the little guy, giving him a glimmer of hope.

But that glimmer of hope is far from enough.

Celucia reached out and touched the Sprite Bug's head, further aiding its evolution.

With her help, the Peanut Sprite Bug will most likely be able to evolve successfully.

Loris excitedly took the peanut fairy worm back from Celusia's hand.

"Thank you, Miss Lucy!"

Even if she were incredibly stupid, she would have recognized the other person's identity by now.

Miss Lucy.

She is clearly Celsia, Her Majesty the Queen of the Elf Kingdom!

Celucia stood up and took out a milky white ring from somewhere.

The ring floated in mid-air and drifted to Loren's front.

Loren caught it with both hands, feeling flattered.

"Consider this a reward for your hospitality," Celia said calmly.

Proposal!

This must be a marriage proposal!

Loren suppressed his excitement, "I will definitely not let Miss Lucy down!"

Serusia's eyes looked strange.

She suddenly regretted giving the Elf Ring to him.

"This Elf Ring can be used to store Elf Insects, providing them with the most comfortable living environment."

It sounds like it won't be very effective.

But this was a gift from the Elf Queen herself, so its significance is extraordinary.

Loris's eyes widened; she wanted it too!

But when she thought about the nonsense she had blurted out when they first met, she simply couldn't muster the courage to ask for it back.

Loren accepted the ring. "Miss Lucy, the town of Nearshore is right next door. If you have time, Lori can take you there for a visit."

Loris looked at Celucia with hopeful eyes.

Celucia replied indifferently, "No need."

It seems she wasn't entirely unconcerned about Loris's joke.
