80. Sword of the Devil's Judgment.
Diablo.
He was an ordinary boy. I once dreamed of being the most powerful knight in the empire, and I was just a kid who liked to play with his friends against wooden swords.
When I came back home after playing around in the dirt, there was only Mother Helen who welcomed me.
And Helen asked with a smile.
'Hello? You must be hungry. Let's eat.'
Then Diablo sits across from her, grinning and grinning.
I was so excited that I ate all the dishes she had made.
Then Mother Helen wiped the sauce from his mouth with a tissue and smiled brightly.
Yes. Before it became a vessel for the three great demons, Diablo was just a child.
And when he was abducted here, he lost everything.
He recalled the past and told the chef in the transparent barrier.
I liked it once. I was okay with the last one.
I wanted to feel that flavor again.
Tell him.
”P-please... P-please...”
* * *
”Please… b… b…”
At that moment, Min-hyuk remembered a quest window.
[Explosive Quest: Diablo's Desire.]
Grade: s
Restrictions: Cook.
Reward: The road to 41st floor.
Penalty for Failure: Unable to Link Diablo's Wishful Quests.
Description: Before the Minneapolis, there was a food that ordinary humans wanted to eat. Listen to the story.
'I'm on my way to 41st floor...'
The path to 41st floor is interpreted in a simple sense.
If Diablo is satisfied, it means they will not attack.
And in fact, for Min-hyuk and his group, there was no need to fight him if Diablo let them go.
Once in Athens, the 'Revival' skill was a very rare and rare ability, but not one that the users didn't possess at all.
And these resurrection skills follow the same formula.
If you hunt monsters, drop EXP, artifact, or gold, and resurrect the dead, there are no more EXP, artifact, or gold drops.
This was a system created by Athenian operators to prevent users from hunting rare boss monsters in this way.
”Min-hyuk.”
Then, my father came. And Kaistra, or the Black Wizard Alido, looked at Minhyuk.
”The quest is here. The reward is Diablo opening the way to 41st floor.”
Kaistra nods his head when he hears it.
”But there seems to be a risk. If it fails...”
Min-hyuk tried to hunt Diablos by using Hapsida to feed buffs to the people here.
However, if you cook for Diablo at that time, it will take a lot of time.
That was a choice.
You either cook for Diablos, or you reject him and you cook for those in the barrier.
My father said, looking at Min-hyuk hesitating for a moment at the Diablo.
”Do it.”
”…… Can I do that?”
It was very dangerous to feed Diablos. In fact, no one here knows what Diablos are.
But there is one thing for sure.
Hunger, longing, and memories are in his eyes.
In life, everyone had one kind of ”food” to remember.
just like Min Hyuk used to miss the fried chicken bath that his mother gave him.
It's strange. It was just a regular fried chicken sauce, and Min Hyuk's mother didn't cook well in her life.
But her stir-fried chicken was a rare min-hyuk.
And Min-hyuk, who had eyes on Diablo.
He shakes his head.
”Okay, what kind of food?”
”Phh... with Dewey... Phh.”
Diablo obviously speaks a human language, but seems to be quite resourceful.
Min Hyuk, who held his head in his head, first tried using the recipe creation skill.
[Create the recipe your opponent wants.]
[You will find a ham egg sandwich and beef soup.]
[Consume buffs based on recipe creation.]
Min-hyuk shrugged his head and looked at the window of recipe creation.
Hamegg sandwiches and beef soup were legendary.
But now, what mattered was not the grade, but the taste.
How satisfying is Diablo?
Of course, maybe.
'Maybe Diablo is smarter than we thought and he's stalling.'
Quests were the concept of promises with NPCs, and most users keep their promises if they proceed with them.
However, very rarely, namesake NPCs may ignore such things.
I didn't know Diablos existed like that. If they were, they would perish here.
And soon Diablo said,
”Come back and play…… my mother used to do it very occasionally…… Hamegg Sandwich… soup… and she was… hungry……… I didn't know.”
Diablo's voice subsides with grief.
”I didn't know because I was young...... that she fed me and was hungry.”
When Min-hyuk heard that, he shook his head.
If Diablo was a child in a poor house, the ingredients for making Hamegg Sandwiches would be expensive.
While the world view of Athens was with the modern world, many of the NPC's poor live less than the common people.
You give the diablo ahead of you an expensive ham egg sandwich once in a while and she starves.
What you can do because you're a mother.
Min-hyuk started cooking because his heart reached out to Min-hyuk.
He got rid of all the distractions.
Believe it or not, the hall disappeared.
”I'll do my best.”
Hamegg sandwiches are easy to make, so a lot of people use them as a piece of cake, and people who study or work in cafes often eat with a cup of coffee.
And then I moved on to cooking.
Place the pot over the burner first, pour the water, then start boiling the eggs.
While the eggs were boiling, the lettuce and tomatoes were cleaned and cut to a good size to eat.
Immerse the egg in cold water when it's all cooked, then gently peel off the egg shell.
Crush the eggs after peeling them.
Then place one lettuce on top of the soft sandwich bread and one sliced cheese on top.
Then, after placing a piece of freshly baked sliced ham, place a tomato on top.
Eggs in a ham egg sandwich tend to cook very differently depending on the preference.
Some poached eggs are mayonnaise and bourguignon, and some pickles are chopped into them and some other sauce is added.
However, Min-hyuk is preparing a normal ham egg sandwich.
The tomato is immediately topped with eggs with no crushed sauce.
And cover one last loaf of bread.
