The Taste of Happiness Drives Away Evil

The bustling, noisy restaurant, with its chorus of bards singing, was an environment Elsa had never experienced before.

When Sally lived in the Bede Family, the dining environment was always very quiet. Sally often had something to do and missed meals, so she would eat alone while being served by the servants.

Living with the Light Eagle Legion now, it's quite lively when I'm with the Assault Team or other mercenaries, but when we eat, it's just the mercenaries.

It's inconvenient to travel between the two cities from the Light Eagle Legion's base. And to be honest, the captain's rank can be considered a nobleman in the Leyndell. Even when they go out to eat, they will choose places that look like they belong to important people.

As for the bustling cafeteria like this, it was indeed a novel experience for her.

"The food here is delivered fresh daily from the Gourmet Area. Although the presentation may not be the most exquisite, the taste is absolutely top-notch," Lu Lu Wo said enthusiastically. "And today, Chef Ku Li Pa from the Elf Race is in charge of the cooking. You're in for a treat."

Elsa looked through the dazzling array of dishes for a long time before finally choosing a dish called "Glowing Fried Rice" and a side of "Hot Spring Happiny".

"Two more orders of cocoa sponge cake, the sponge cake should be cut from the Trumpet Lion's body," Ta Mi said to the waiter, then turned to Elsa with a smile and said, "You stole my chocolate when we first met, so you should like cocoa, right?"

Elsa's face flushed slightly; she was starving at that moment because her supplies had completely run out.

But before she could say anything, Lu Lu Wo exclaimed, "I want a cake too, the extra rich cocoa version!"

"Then I'll have the captain's cocoa sauce, twice as strong." Bei Er Tuo pushed up his glasses, a smile spreading across his face at the thought of sweets. Mi La, Aisi, and Aimu next to him made the same request.

So, the entire Skyrim Strategy Team are all Cocoa, no, I mean, dessert lovers?!

While waiting for their food to be served, Lu Lu Wo and her group treated Elsa like family and chatted about their day's haul.

Quite a few things that sounded like paid information were casually revealed, and Elsa found this feeling of being completely unreserved to her strange, yet also very relaxing.

As for those intelligence reports that sound like they're paid for, such as someone trying to poison Overlord Wolnir in an attempt to slowly wear him down, only to be crushed to dust by the repetitive Wrath of the Gods after taking too long.

A necromancer attempted to use high-level necromancy, "Command Undead," to control the Overlord Wolnir, but his fate was naturally tragic.

Someone sent out a group of canine Orcs, because the canine Orcs' bloodline ability makes their teeth able to damage bones many times over, so that person wanted to use a group of Orcs to eat Wolnir.

As a result, all the canine Orcs were attracted by the Skeleton Warrior who threw Dung Pie, and they ran off in a great deal of joy.

There was also someone with a godlike thought process who awakened the Farron Undead Legion and tried to lure him into the boss room of Overlord Wolnir!

If Gong Qiying hadn't discovered this divine being's actions immediately and blocked him with the Fog Gate in time, the other party might have actually succeeded.

One exciting and interesting piece of news after another was floating around in the air.

When they got really into the conversation, they would playfully fight each other. Lu Lu Wo had no airs of a captain at all, pinching Ta Mi one minute and punching Bei Er Tuo the next, their playful antics blending perfectly with the atmosphere around them.

The fireplace crackled and popped, adventurers at the table laughed and chatted, and the bard's accordion, amplified by amplification magic, mingled with the aroma of the food. People released the stress of the whole day here, and at this moment, the restaurant was the happiest place under the night sky of Lake Liurnia.

The Spirit Power absorbed by the Zane Dungeon kept increasing!

Seeing this, Elsa couldn't help but think of the Assault Team, but upon comparison, she realized that the Assault Team were still hesitant to open up to her, probably because of his status as captain.

"Captain, we've been in the endless cycle of reincarnation for two days now. Will the blessings we get really work?"

"Don't worry, just trust me as much as I trust you!"

During their conversation, Elsa understood why the Skyrim Strategy Team had been absent from the highly anticipated Overlord Wolnir raid.

Because after the opponent realized they couldn't win after one battle, they went to the Endless Reincarnation (Roguelike) area in the Great Tomb region to quietly develop their strength.

Everyone knows that each time you clear the Endless Reincarnation, you can get a few Proof of Past Battles. Once you have enough, you can exchange them for all sorts of rewards, including permanent blessings.

After their battle with Wolnir, Lu Lu Wo immediately went to the Endless Reincarnation to farm Proof of Past Battles, which could be exchanged for a blessing.

[Favor of the Dead: When fighting the undead, enemies will show you mercy.]

This blessing has appeared before figures like Leon and the Sword Saint. It's considered the lowest priced one, and basically anyone who has entered the endless cycle of reincarnation can encounter it.

As its effect description states, this enhanced blessing will cause undead enemies to show mercy, specifically by causing undead enemies' attacks to occasionally miss and deal less damage. However, because the trigger probability is not high, it is considered a useless item.

But the moment Lu Lu Wo saw the Catacombs of Carthus, she thought of this blessing. In the battle against the Overlord, the margin for error was very low, and the slightest carelessness would mean death. If she could have such a blessing, even if the trigger probability was not high, it could still improve the pitiful margin for error a little bit.

After that, they consulted with Da Er and the other Farron Guard and went to the "Wolf Knight" Painting World to get a replica of the Wolf Ring for each of them.

[Wolf Ring Replica]

[Actively stimulated, significantly enhancing the body's resilience; a tenacious physique and will can never be broken by attacks.]

Furthermore, in light of the terrifying power of the Wolnir Holy Sword, they also found something similar in the Underground Labyrinth of Lake Liurnia.

[Exhilarating Fragrance Making Manual]

[The perfumers who served in the Shattering possessed the skills to create one of the tools using Perfume Bottle.]

[It consumes magic power to invigorate the spirit, boost the strength of those around them, and form a one-time protective shield that greatly reduces damage taken.]

"Invigorate" has a very powerful support effect; those who become accustomed to it will turn into suicide soldiers, which is why the Perfumer has no shortage of excellent soldiers around her.

The effect of this item is indeed eye-catching, but unfortunately, the necessary item for crafting, the Perfume Bottle, must be obtained from the Zane Dungeon, and the drop rate is not high. Currently, each member of the Skyrim Strategy Team has less than a handful of Exhilarating Fragrance.

Elsa listened to their conversation and couldn't help but admire the Strategy Team's efficiency; they acted on their ideas immediately.

However, can these things really defeat Overlord Wolnir? They all seem to be items used to reduce the damage to Overlord.

What about offensive types? If you only try to reduce damage but can't break through the Overlord, you can't win. She estimated that even Lu Lu Wo, the strongest among them, is not as strong Iliphis.

In this regard, they naturally had things that Elsa could not imagine.

"I never expected that it was Senior Leon and his team who discovered the most crucial intelligence this time." As the food was served, Ta Mi remarked while eating, "If it weren't for his discovery, we probably would never have imagined that situation in our entire lives."

"Hmph, he wins this time." Lu Lu Wo turned her head away with a typical tsundere attitude.

"Who would have thought that the seemingly mighty Overlord had that kind of relationship with the Abyss, and that he only achieved that through stolen Sacred Relic?"

What's the relationship? What was stolen?

Elsa was listening intently when the waiter came to serve the food, interrupting Lu Lu Wo and drawing all her attention to the dishes.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed from professional intelligence exchange to just people doing nothing, the style of the conversation changed too much.

The atmosphere had become like this, and Elsa was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. Just then, the waiter brought a covered plate to her and gestured for her to open it.

In an instant, everyone in the restaurant looked at Elsa.

"W-what's wrong? Is there something strange about the food I ordered?" Elsa was startled.

Ta Mi smiled and urged with a hint of anticipation, "Open it quickly."

What's going on with this group of people?

Elsa frowned and suddenly lifted the lid of the glowing fried rice.

In an instant, the Light Bullet went off, and the fried rice burst into a dazzling light that blinded everyone!

When the light faded, wait, where did Elsa go?

"Hiss!" She darted to a corner of the restaurant with lightning speed, taking a deep breath.

"Hahaha."

People were amused by her reaction and turned their heads away contentedly. They loved seeing the reaction of people Glowing Dish for the first time.

She watched for a long time before returning after being comforted by Ta Mi, and carefully scooped a spoonful of golden fried rice into her mouth.

"Hmm!"

The next second, her armor exploded! Luckily, she was wearing thick clothes underneath the armor.

"How can fried rice be so delicious!"

Not only did her armor explode, but hearts involuntarily welled up in her eyes, her thighs clenched together awkwardly, and her body trembled slightly.

This fried rice is more potent than high-concentration Blood Therapy Potion!

Once she came to her senses, she didn't stop for a moment, wolfing down the fried rice with eggs, a happy expression on her face.

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively, and Elsa was already falling in love with this magical underground city.

She slowed down when the fried rice was almost gone, savoring the delicious dish.

Lu Lu Wo and the others started discussing intelligence again.

"Senior Leon and the others have already gone to challenge the Overlord, right? Captain, we can't fall behind!"

"Losing to Leon is no big deal, as long as we get ahead of the Light Eagle Legion."

Element detection!

Elsa didn't look up, but upon hearing about the Light Eagle Legion, Iliphis involuntarily came to mind.

The thought of Iliphis filled her with uncontrollable respect and admiration for him.

She thought of Iliphis's sapphire-like eyes, which would flash red when he activated his Unique Talent.

A flash of red light appeared in Elsa's eyes, and she suddenly had an idea—to get more information from Lu Lu Wo and bring it back!

That's right, bring back more intelligence. I was already being quite willful by refusing the commander's request this time, so I have to make a contribution to him!

A sense of guilt suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Um..." She opened her mouth, as if about to say something.

"Your hot spring Happiny has arrived. Please eat it while it's hot!"

The waiter brought over the white, fluffy "Happiny," and in the end, the desire for the delicious food overcame the guilt towards the leader.

Elsa cracked the eggshell with a spoon, coated the crispy, fragrant breadstick with plenty of golden, semi-cooked egg liquid, and popped it into her mouth in one bite.

[The egg of the Happiny: After eating it, you will feel happiness all over your body, and even the most vicious people will become kind and cheerful.]

An immense sense of happiness flowed from her stomach throughout Elsa's entire body, and her emotions became more positive than ever before; the feeling of happiness eradicated all negative emotions.

In an instant, her eyes became clear and transparent, and the faint red light disappeared.

A strange thought popped into her head before she ate the Happiny.

Why should I be so obedient to Iliphis?
