Delicious!

When Otto half-heartedly put the magically ripened mushroom that Sophia had prepared into his mouth, he couldn’t help but think of this word.

Indescribable taste!

Although the living plant called White Larva Mushroom did not look very attractive and even appeared somewhat ugly and disgusting, its taste was absolutely excellent.

Otto directly threw a large, charcoal-roasted mushroom into his mouth, and immediately, a burst of tender and delectable juice erupted from it.

The texture of the White Larva Mushroom was somewhat similar to that of a succulent chicken, plump and tender, yet sweet and crunchy.

After eating such a delicacy, the dragon meat was probably the only thing that could compare to it in Otto’s memory of all the food he had eaten.

Mere sprinkling some crushed salt on it, it turned out to be so delicious.

This also reminded Otto of an unforgettable saying.

High-quality ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods…

Dragon meat is like that, and so is the White Larva Mushroom.

The batch of White Larva Mushrooms that Sophia caught seemed quite big, with heights of around three meters each.

Of course, Otto could eat them freely, but Sophia needed the Corrupted Elves to do some processing on the White Larva Mushrooms.

Sophia found these White Larva Mushrooms in a dark swamp. This type of living plant prefers areas that are dark and damp.

It especially loves to absorb the nutrients remaining in the decaying dead trees. That’s why it often lives together with white termites, from which its name is derived.

And white termites are the termites of this world.

It’s worth mentioning that during the process of eating the White Larva Mushroom, Moray couldn’t stand the torture of only being a spectator and left in a huff.

That worked out just fine, as Otto took the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food while sharing some of his previous thoughts with Sophia.

“You want to engrave a Blood Covenant on Moray too?”

The half-elf girl furrowed her beautiful brows and thought for a while.

Soon, she hesitantly said, “Most of the techniques of Blood Covenant were developed by Moray. It’s easy to engrave Blood Covenant on his soul, but I’m not sure if he has any countermeasures.”

“So there’s no way out?”

Otto was somewhat reluctant. Although he had reached a cooperation with Moray, it was nothing more than lip service.

Even Otto himself had been prepared to betray Moray at any time.

As a witch demon who had lived for thousands of years, Otto was sure that

Moray would betray him without hesitation as soon as the opportunity arose.

Although both parties might have the same idea, it doesn’t mean that Otto would accept such results.

Perhaps witnessing a powerful deity and signing a binding covenant could be a good choice.

But compared with the easily exploited rules and regulations, Otto obviously preferred to have complete control over Moray.

To this end, Sophia tried to say, “I have put many backdoors on the Soul Eater Wand in order to prevent Moray from causing any trouble. For example, I have imprisoned him in a magic cage that constantly emits sunlight.

This way, his strength will always be limited to a very low level, and he can only use basic magic with very poor magic reserves.”

Sophia smiled and took a piece of sliced White Larva Mushroom from Elise’s hand. She ate while speaking, “Unless he can break free from the Soul Eater Wand’s bondage, his strength will be limited. If this is the premise, things might be much simpler.

For example, adding a simple protective barrier to him that can only be broken by a powerful single-use magic attack.

While Moray might be able to easily modify the Blood Covenant structure, he wouldn’t be able to penetrate the seemingly simple outer barrier with his current power.”

As Otto stuffed an entire White Larva Mushroom into his mouth, he asked, “But I remember that you guys developed a technique that can use others’ magic, is it really okay?”

“Magic Conversion Skill, right?”

Sophia smiled, “Don’t worry about it, the Magic Conversion Skill allows the user to utilize someone else’s magic, but it would require the other party’s consent to transfer their magic power into the user’s body.

Also, it’s impossible to perform any other actions while using the skill.

Therefore, even if he uses the Magic Conversion Skill, Moray’s accessible magic reserves at the same time would still remain fixed.’

When it came to magic, Otto was utterly clueless, but it sounded reasonable to him.

So, the completely uninformed silver dragon nodded in satisfaction, “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you!”

The smile on the half-elf girl’s face blossomed instantly. Helping Otto was always the happiest thing for her.

It seemed that this issue could be resolved, so Otto felt a little more relaxed.

He ate the delicious White Larva Mushroom while hesitantly asking, “Why did you suddenly think of catching these big mushrooms?”

Sophia closed her eyes in enjoyment and replied, “I noticed that you seem to have grown tired of eating meat lately, and might need a change of taste. Elise mentioned that these are a specialty in Nolan Forest, so I specifically caught them for you!

But the quantity seems to be quite scarce. It might be difficult to catch so many again later.”

Hearing this, Otto didn’t respond, but realized that his recent habit of eating dirt and gnawing on trees might have pressured Sophia.

“It’s delicious!”

Looking at the two remaining White Larva Mushrooms, Otto smiled, “If only we could mass-produce these.”

Sophia blinked and then told Elise behind her, “Send these ones back to the Land of the Soaring Dragon. Longfang, the big guy, should know how to handle them.”

She was talking about the Wild Boar Chief Longfang, who was not fond of fighting but was contributing greatly to the development of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Thanks to his efforts, the Land of the Soaring Dragon had successfully bred

Giant Wild Boars, Cockatrices, and other livestock that could be used for meat.

He even planted quite a few fruits and vegetables, making Saru feel inferior.

The generous array of food that Otto saw after waking up from his slumber this time was mostly the work of this quilboar.

At Sophia’s request, Elise called several ogres to send the White Larva Mushrooms back to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

It looked like they wouldn’t be able to eat these…

With some regret, Otto licked his dragon claws. Even though the White Larva

Mushroom could not grant him any useful abilities, it was simply too delicious.

After dinner, Sophia went to work on setting up the protective barrier around the Blood Covenant.

Meanwhile, Otto pondered the events that happened today.

Leaving aside the truncated version of the Soul Splitting Skill, this experiment also confirmed another essential suspicion.

Many times, he could not obtain the abilities he desired by devouring enemies.

But now it seemed that he had another option in this regard..
