Chapter 26: Are you crazy?!

In the afternoon, Lathel walked around the meadows surrounding the castle, looking for more cooking ingredients.

Of course, there were no animals around this place, not even insects existed.

Similar to a horror movie, there were no living creatures around the haunted castle.

However, this did not affect the natural beauty of this place.

Lathel found a lot of cooking ingredients, and of course, they were all plants.

The cauldron also helped him search for some rare medicinal herbs.

It could be said that the Cauldron was like a living dictionary of herbs. It could identify, distinguish and know the uses of each type of herb.

It even knew which herbs could be combined with which herbs to create suitable remedies.

Lathel felt that the cauldron was strange, not because the Cauldron's knowledge was too great, but... hm... Lathel also didn't know what was strange.

He shook his head, and decided not to think about this issue anymore. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮

"Kid, your memory is amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone with such an amazing memory."

The cauldron spoke up, he did not hesitate to compliment Lathel.

"Well? What do you think about becoming a Pharmacist Enchanter? I promise to help you achieve the highest attainments in the shortest time."

Lathel smiled and shook his head. In fact, because he possessed the profession 'Royal Chef', his ability to recognize and classify cooking ingredients was very high.

Therefore, when he was exposed to medicinal herbs, he could remember the information related to it without any difficulty.

However, he was currently not interested in studying to become a Pharmacist Enchanter.

Besides... even if he didn't study, as long as he patiently 'signed in' every day, one day, the system would give him the Pharmacist Enchanter profession.

Seeing that Lathel had no intention of becoming a pharmacist enchanter, the cauldron sighed: "I have never seen anyone like you."

"This profession is respected by countless people. Everyone wants to become a Pharmacist Enchanter, but you don't want to learn."

"Okay, when you want to learn, just tell me."

Having said that, the cauldron also felt a bit worried. He thought maybe everything was as Lathel said?

After 10,000 years, had the Pharmacist Enchanter profession become insignificant?

Lathel suddenly asked: "You said you've been here for 10,000 years?"

"That's right."

"So... what do you know about Charlotte?"

The cauldron thought for a moment and then said: "Hm... actually, I don't know much about her. I fell into a deep sleep to save energy after the battle realm."

"The person who brought me to this castle was her ancestor. In fact, this place used to be an altar."

"Time passed, and everything changed. Sometimes when we wake up, we use our little energy to feel our surroundings."

"Recently, I discovered that no one else lived here except Charlotte."

"She is a pure-blooded Vampire, however, her personality is quite strange. She often sits on that chair and looks outside."

"She can sit like that for days, or for a month straight."

Lathel thought, is there such a strange person in this world?

"Okay, don't worry about her either. You should worry more about yourself. You possess an extremely strange type of energy that can stimulate the hidden properties of medicinal herbs."

"If you were in ancient times, you would definitely become a Pharmacist Enchanter that is respected by everyone. Even kings must bow before you."

Lathel sighed, he felt that the scenario the cauldron painted for him was no different from the villains waiting to be face-slapped by the mc.

He suddenly thought of Charlotte: "It seems... she's very lonely."

That's right, think about it, if a person lives alone for many years without going crazy, some psychological abnormalities will appear.

He sighed, and decided in his heart that he needed to do something.

"Hm?! What are you planning to do? freewebnove(l).com

"That's right." Hearing the Cauldron's question, Lathel immediately replied: "Anyway, I'm not here for free. She paid for me to stay here."

"I also don't want to be a pig, sleeping every day and receiving money, my conscience won't allow that to happen."

"You..." the cauldron sighed and said: "Okay, it's up to you. As long as you fulfill the contract between me and you, it's okay."

"Of course."

...

In the afternoon, the sun gradually disappeared behind the hundred meter high cliffs, and the sky gradually became dark.

However, the stars and three moons in the sky seemed to take on the task of replacing the sun, as they shone their dim light on this world.

Charlotte still sat by the window, her hands were on her thighs, as she looked outside.

If she wasn't breathing, people would think that it was a statue sculpted by a master sculptor.

Her eyes were truly like those of a stone statue, as it was without any emotions.

No, sometimes, the eyes of some statues have souls inside, which express more emotions than Charlotte's eyes.

"Charlotte." Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Charlotte was not startled, she slowly turned her head, and looked towards the source of the voice like a puppet.

However, in front of her was a plate, on the plate there were pearls the size of the tip of a little finger in all kinds of colors, it was extremely eye-catching and lovely.

Charlotte felt confused, she raised her head to look at the person holding the plate, and it was Lathel.

Lathel flashed a friendly smile as he said: "This is a dish that I just created, do you want to try some?"

Charlotte remembered the soup she had just eaten that morning, her eyes showing a bit of interest in the jewels on the plate that Lathel was holding.

Lathel immediately explained: "This dish is called candy. It's a bit crunchy and sweet. You can try one."

Charlotte tilted her head to look at Lathel for a moment, then reached out and held a piece of candy with two fingers to look at it.

The candy in Charlotte's hand was like a transparent brown pearl, the moonlight shining from outside made it even more beautiful.

It seemed that... It was not an ordinary candy but a work of art.

Charlotte put the candy in her mouth and bit it open. Just then, the sweet taste of herbs exploded in her mouth.

It was not too sweet, there was just enough sweetness to stimulate Charlotte's taste buds. Besides, it also made Charlotte's mind much more alert.

Charlotte closed her eyes, as she felt the flavors exploding in her mouth. Suddenly she showed a slight smile.

Even though she smiled slightly, and it was difficult to tell that she was smiling due to her numerous wrinkles caused by old age, Lathel could still tell that Charlotte was feeling happy thanks to his food.

"Boy, you not becoming a Pharmacist Enchanter is a great loss to this world. You should think again..." the cauldron's voice suddenly rang in his head.

He smiled and shook his head: "I will think about that later."

Cauldron sighed: "Sigh... I hope you can think about it carefully."

Lathel didn't care at all about what the Cauldron said. In fact, the cauldron said so because he saw the process by which Lathel made the candy.

He gathered a few herbs which he pressed to get juice, then he went through several steps, and finally, he created candy.

Of course, Lathel also used magical energy to activate the hidden properties of the herbs he used.

Their effects were extremely great, not only was it delicious, it also helped the person feel more secure and comfortable.

It was like a sedative but it had no side effects. The cauldron glanced at those candies and immediately understood their purpose.

Therefore, the Cauldron firmly believed that Lathel was definitely born to become a Pharmacist Enchanter.

Lathel looked at Charlotte, and thought that maybe she still had some emotions, it was just... since she hadn't shown her emotions in a long time, her emotions seem to have been frozen.

'Wait! Yesterday she was very enthusiastic, she even smiled, why today...'

"Kid." the cauldron's voice rang out: "I know what you're thinking. Yesterday was the full moon, and that is when Vampires are most active, as they will fall into a state of excitement."

"And today is the waning moon, meaning that the energy has disappeared, and she has returned to normal."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, he felt that the full moon was like caffeine, and just a little bit could make people feel alert or even excited.

After a while, Charlotte opened her eyes, she immediately took another candy and put it in her mouth. This time she didn't close her eyes to enjoy it but immediately chewed and swallowed it quickly.

Third, fourth... Charlotte ate as if someone was competing with her for the candy.

Lathel saw this and quickly said: "Charlotte, you don't need to be in such a hurry. If you like, I can cook more."

Charlotte's movements stopped, she raised her head to look at Lathel, doubt was in her eyes as she asked: "Really?"

"Of course." Lathel smiled and said: "You hired me here for 10 days, of course I will carry out the contract we signed."

"During these 10 days, I will make more delicious dishes for you."

"Really?" Charlotte asked again, the question was no different from the one from before.

"Um!" Lathel nodded firmly.

He placed the plate on the table for Charlotte to slowly enjoy, then turned around and planned to leave.

Suddenly, his sleeve was held by her. Lathel turned his head to look at her, she also looked at him with a somewhat indifferent face: "Can you... stay with me?"

Hearing that, Lathel smiled and replied: "Of course."

He sat down in the chair opposite Charlotte. At this time, she let go of his sleeve and slowly ate the candy.

In the plate there were about 20 candies, each candy had its own color, and each color represented a different flavor.

This made each candy full of mystery and it forced Charlotte to slowly enjoy it to realize how delicious the candy was.

Lathel didn't eat the candy, he just sat still in the chair as he watched Charlotte.

"Kid, you... don't tell me you like that old woman."

"Are you crazy?!" Lathel suddenly shouted.

Charlotte was startled and this made her look at him, he was also startled by this and he quickly replied: "No, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the Cauldron."

Charlotte nodded, then bowed her head as she continued to enjoy the candy.

Lathel grumbled softly: "Are you crazy? How can I like such an old person? Do you think I've lost my mind?"

"So... let me tell you the truth... when she was young, she was very beautiful. Super beautiful... She was beautiful like an angel."
