Chapter 915 Last Cooking Quest
?Half a century later.
In the middle of a forest, by a river, lay Lith and his three friends, completely exhausted and drenched with water.
"Haah... Haah... Seriously... Haah... Who's idea was this..." Miwa said while breathing heavily.
"Sorry..." Lith responded while breathing heavily as well.
"I hate you... everyone... literally..." Miwa continued on with her complaining.
"I wanna go home..." Dennis said. However, right after a few seconds, continued, "...Nevermind. I don't wanna..."
"Why?" Ralph asked, while huffing.
"Cecilia will kill me..." Dennis answered.
"Honestly... You deserve it..." Ralph continued.
"Don't worry guys... I'm sure... Huff... We'll get to go back home soon..." Lith said in between his breaths.
"You idiot, don't raise any flags—"
.....
A hundred years later.
"SUNOVABITCH!" Miwa threw the pan in her hand as far as she could and fell flat on the ground.
Lith, Ralph, and Dennis fell down on the ground as well, completely exhausted.
"I told you... uwaaa... I told you not to raise a flag... uwaaa..." Miwa cried out.
"Sorry..." Lith answered.
"On the bright side, our ascension is nearing..." Dennis said out of nowhere while breathing heavily, trying to console Miwa.
"I might go crazy..." Ralph chimed in and said something out of context.
"Crazy!? I'm literally dying by staying in between you three idiots' sides. Oh heavens... I wanna go home... uwaaa..." Miwa cried out once again.
"Don't worry guys, it'll be over—"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
.....
Another half a century later.
Standing atop a cliff stood four warriors, possessing a rough appearance.
There was nothing better than this for them, and it was not just the Prince, the two were really proud of Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis too.
Their three disciples were really amazing!
The two were well aware of their Prince's potential and knew he could do just about anything. But his friends' talents really surprised them and shocked them further.
The two were proud masters of these younglings, who were on their way to become some of the greatest chefs this world has ever seen.
Of course, they still had a long way to go as just a few years of cooking did not mean they were well-versed with everything.
Lith, Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis were yet to play with a lot of different ingredients used for cooking.
They had just used up enough to become greatly experienced and self-sufficient. They were at a level where they could use just about any ingredient and make a great dish out of it.
They also could identify anything edible and cook it.
However, they were yet to identify everything and this was something that could be gained only via the passage of time and years of experience.
The four could be thought of as clay pottery.
They were built up and shaped properly, but a lot of refinement was needed that would make them the best out of the best out there.
This last quest would make them stand out among the rest of the pots, and after its completion, they simply need to work on refinement, that's about it.
In the last two hundred years, the four had travelled the world, learnt many different types of cuisines, learnt to make local dishes with authentic local tastes, and done a great deal of adventure.
They had worked in a thousand different types of restaurants around the globe and achieved a vast number of satisfied customers.
Where the four stood currently was the pinnacle of the culinary world. They did not know about it, but they really were the best.
Now, it was time to surpass their masters and become the greatest, the legends of the culinary world, and have their names etched in history.
Two hundred years of training was really harsh on the four, but it was orders from the Queen herself and rejecting it was not possible.
Juan and Miguel had argued about it taking a toll on the four, but the Queen simply stated that they would be fine.
Juan and Miguel could do nothing but proceed with the training and to their surprise, the four did survive through the harshest of times.
The four were currently standing with a healthy complexion on their faces, wearing a simple shirt and pants.
They did not look like nobles, rather, appeared very much like seasoned adventurers.
Their serious eyes, calm faces, and erect posture depicted their years of training. They were oozing out with a dangerous aura and this came after killing many beasts and fighting to procure many ingredients.
The four, after hearing about the last quest, did not show any sign of affirmation or negation. They simply let things flow and accepted their fate.
Juan and Miguel smiled.
Juan continued, "I hope you all surpass your masters and achieve even greater heights."
The four nodded in unison, as if they were robots, and placing their palms on their chests, bowed and said, "Thank you, Chef."
Years of training together had kept the four well coordinated. They had worked too much like a team and were really efficient at their jobs.
Miguel, smiling, said, "Now, as for the last quest. Let me tell you, it's not easy. What you have to do is..."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
