Chapter 1144: Chapter 165: Prophet Ian’s Candidness (6200)_2

Actually, you can tell that Sio does have some expertise in food. The attendant never bothered to introduce anything, but she could easily taste the raw materials and key points of the milkshake, proving her theoretical knowledge is quite rich.

But there’s no way around it—she has a great appetite, so everything tastes delicious to her!

Ian, Yisen Gard, and Anfa couldn’t help but chuckle, while Master Gossay and Master Gravie watched the scene with unchanged expressions.

“I told you long ago, don’t go back to Canaan Moore.”

Master Gossay raised his golden honey wine, clinking glasses with Master Gravie lightly: “How about now? You’re neither here nor there, how can you continue your research in this situation?”

“Hm, do you think I want this? It’s not my fault for being exposed.”

Clearly, Master Gravie was familiar with Master Gossay, at least more than just acquaintances. He sneered at Master Gossay’s question: “At first, I thought Yafada wanted to kill me. After a few days back in Canaan Moore reorganizing things, I found out at least three royal blood families want me dead.”

“Because my plan is too complete, the new research that they also joined can’t get into it, no way to invest or appropriate it. So even if there’s just a one percent chance to implement my plan, they absolutely won’t allow it—Yafada is just going with the flow, the old fox wants to see what cards I have. If I can’t deal with the royal bloods’ spying, better to die on the Siren than die too miserably back in Canaan Moore and trouble him to clean up.”

“And the result?”

By this time, the attendants had served the first appetizer, a specialty from Canaan Moore’s Sudden Rain Wetlands, ‘Bloody Orange.’ Segments, carved like blood jade with clear grains, were placed in ice Origin Quality solidified plates before each person.

Master Gossay picked up a segment, put it in his mouth, feeling the grain of sweet life-like fruit burst between his teeth, that vibrant sensation, and asked indistinctly: “What happened next?”

“Foolish question.” Master Gravie also ate a segment, expressing dissatisfaction: “I was saved by Ian, didn’t expose any cards, Yafada personally came to discuss collaboration—you’re so familiar with the kid, what exactly do you want to know?”

“Nothing much, just want to know how well you understand the kid, to see if we can continue collaborating in the future.”

Master Gossay shifted his gaze to Ian, the slightly stooped old man chuckled: “Seems you also think Ian is a genius, enough to aid your research, which means we’ll have plenty of chances to cooperate in the future.”

“Also, my intuition tells me you may know a bit more than I do now—but soon, he’ll probably tell us personally.”

Ian and the others present naturally could hear the conversation between the two masters; being a Sublimator has this downside, hearing things you don’t need to.

But it’s no big deal, as Ian is now focused on tasting Canaan Moore’s cuisine.

As for the taste of Bloody Orange, if one must evaluate it, it’s quite peculiar. It’s somewhat like popping candy, but really, it feels like live creatures leaping in your mouth, giving an unusual sensation, though this quickly ends as the grains break themselves apart, transforming into extremely fragrant juice, and the more violently the pulp jumps, the sweeter it becomes.

The upcoming delicacies were all like this, with a strong local flavor of Canaan Moore.

The main course served first was a gigantic charcoal-grilled land crab, this land crab is a kind of magical beast known as Shelly Crab. It can grow up to three meters in length, and the one placed before Ian and the others was over a meter long. This magical beast feeds on Beneficial Heart Coconut along the Yongji Ocean coast, whose shell is as iron-like hard, and its meat is filled with the fragrance of coconut, capable of nourishing the heart and replenishing cardiac energy, significantly beneficial for some Bloodline True Form that strengthens the heart.

Its meat initially feels tender upon entry, yet has quite a bounce, after chewing a while, it’s intensely sweet, unlike eating meat but rather a peculiar fruit pulp, though after being charcoal grilled, the Shelly Crab meat develops a rich protein scent.

The crab meat can be eaten with a sauce, which in Canaan Moore they call ‘pouyatine,’ made by mashing various fruits to ferment. It is slightly spicy with a tangy sweetness, stimulating one’s appetite.

Then comes a beverage, a type of milk wine, supposedly originating from Azure Sky Royal Court, then localized by the Elves—but this localization is completely unrecognizable.

In Canaan Moore’s rainforest, there aren’t many pastures, so of course, horse and sheep milk is rare, but in the Thirteen Rivers Basin, there’s a unique fruit tree known as ‘Milk Clear Tree,’ it sounds simple, but it’s actually a dangerous carnivorous magical plant that kills other animals with toxins and vines to turn them into nutrients, and its leaves exude a fragrant juice remarkably similar to milk.

The Elves would extract the Milk Clear Tree juice, add special fermented sugar, and go through with a fermentation process, resulting in a milk-white wine that has a thick milky aroma, a smooth and refreshing taste, extremely flavorful.

Every person present was an adult, Ian tasted this ‘Tree Milk Wine’ obtained by Canaan Moore people from pasturing magical plants and couldn’t help but brighten his eyes.

On the first sip, the mouth and nose were filled with the thick aroma of milk. Then, a sweetness tinged with spicy warmth traveled from the tip of the tongue to the root—and finally upon swallowing, instead of a strong heat like pure wine, there was a silky feeling like milk.
