``` Enjoy new adventures from empire
Such a dish could only be conceived by the impoverished people of Mino Island due to necessity, using two ingredients that nobody else wanted, combined together.
But how many people know that shrimp bones and Azure shellfish actually have high nutritional value and can nourish one’s health considerably?
"However, I don’t have shrimp bones or Azure shellfish here,"
Glarus said, "Can I use sothing else to make it for you?"
"Of course!"
Kristin, flattered and astonished, said, "Actually, just a seafood chowder would do, ah, no, just giving a bit of bread every day would be enough, really. There’s no need for such troubleso cooking."
In Azure, although Kristin was of Heroic Level, a noble of such stature that she could beco the City Lord of a small city with a population of thousands, or even tens of thousands,
she was upright in conduct, incorruptible, and never indulged in luxury in her daily life.
As long as the food was enough to fill her stomach, it sufficed, and even her abode was very simple.
It was precisely because of this way of behaving that Kristin’s Eagle Striker and Sky Cavalry Commander followers had beco gods in the people’s hearts.
"Wait for a mont, it’ll be quick."
Glarus took out ingredients from the storage; since it was seafood, it was all frozen.
"Shua shua."
The kitchen knife glided through, chopping the ice blocks as if cutting through tofu.
Glarus’s cooking skills were otherworldly, not only was the speed skillful, but every motion was also incredibly precise.
Kristin, a Miracle Citizen, was already accustod to miraculous powers and was not surprised. She had known all along that the old man before her was no ordinary person.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle."
"It slls so good."
She had never seen cooking done in front of her before, and Kristin watched Glarus’s culinary techniques with amazent.
But the old man worked so quickly that before she could grasp all the details, her view was obscured by the rising flas.
Soon, Glarus placed a dish of seafood chowder in front of Kristin.
"Please taste," Glarus said, "a Guaydon-style special seafood chowder."
"Guaydon style?"
Kristin didn’t understand this, but having not eaten for many days, she was ravenous and couldn’t hold back. She hurriedly picked up a spoon to taste.
"Hisss, ah! It’s so hot! So hot!"
"Take it slow."
Glarus sat behind the counter with a smile on his old face.
He looked at the girl who resembled Little Nana and Luti, as if he had been transported back to a ti long gone.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
Even though Glarus said to take it slow, Kristin still blew vigorously on it and then shoved the spoon in her mouth.
"Mmm!"
In an instant, an indescribable explosion of flavor burst upon Kristin’s taste buds—the salty taste of fresh shrimp and the sweet savor of shellfish ca together like a storm that swept over her palate.
Hot.
But delicious.
It was just the first bite, but it was enough to make one crave for more.
It was a taste Kristin had never experienced before, and she could hardly na any of the spices used.
However, what was this familiar feeling all about...
"Click."

Biting into the shrimp shell, it was crunchy, a result of Glarus’s special frying.
Next was the shrimp head, into which Glarus had injected a special cream that enveloped the shrimp brain, removing any fishy taste and leaving only a rich, pure fragrance.
"Crunch crunch crunch."
"Mmm!"
Kristin stuffed the peeled shrimp at into her mouth, and the next mont, she clutched her mouth tight, "How, how could this be...?"
The surface of the shrimp at was soft, but upon biting down, one could feel tiny crystals that created the unique gritty texture of bone shrimp.
However, these small crystals were not just for texture.
They were actually jellied soup, made with a secret ingredient that remained solid at high temperatures.
Once the solid soup left the high heat needed to maintain its form and touched the taste buds, the small crystals imdiately lted, releasing the sauce within.
In an instant, the deliciousness turned to thunder, filling the whole mouth, throat, and tip of the nose with an intoxicating mariti breeze.
"Clack clack clack clack."
Kristin’s hand holding the spoon trembled lightly, clinking against the porcelain plate with a crisp sound.
"Is it still okay?"
"Yes."
Although it was very delicious, Kristin could taste that this was the flavor of the ho-cooked dish her mother made for her when she was young.
"Even in a strange land, the taste does not change," Glarus reflected, "This is what is called, ’ho.’"
"Ho..."
Kristin’s holand should be the Azure Duchy.
But, was it really Azure?
In Azure, if there was no Haitang, no Coral, and those companions, what else did she have left?
"Bam!"
As Kristin pondered about life, the door was suddenly thrust open.
"Hmm?"
Dumbass looked over at the sound, only to see two figures standing one behind the other at the door; they were not tall, but Dumbass felt as if the light outside was being blocked by the two of them.
"Thud!"
They stepped in with heavy footsteps, like a Demon King descending upon them.
"Hey, why is it you guys again? Wasn’t last ti’s trouble enough, and now you’re back?"
Seeing who it was, Yue Xi puffed her cheeks and picked up a broom, ready to chase them away: "Go away, go away, you’re not welco here."
"Heave-ho."
Yet, the girl behind the young woman effortlessly caught Yue Xi’s broom and, with a slight exertion of strength, snatched it away.
"You, give back my broom."
"Snap!"
However, the black-haired girl acted swiftly, smashing the broom upon her knee and breaking it in two.
"Ahh!!!"
"My broom~~~"
It wasn’t an ordinary broom; it was Yue Xi’s new magic broom from the Witch Academy, the kind one could ride and fly with.
"Mwahahaha."
"See that? This is what happens when you ss with Lady Inya!"
