"Smack"

The bright light plunged into darkness with the crisp sound of beating, and the gifted people who had suddenly lost their light source were stunned and turned their heads one after another, but suddenly no light enveloped their field of vision, and they stood blindly in place.

Mebis, who was checking the temperature of the fire, was also puzzled.

"What's going on?" This is the common language of the hearts of all the gifted.

"Smack."

It didn't take long for another loud voice to reach their ears, and in the infinite darkness, a funnel-shaped pillar of light dazzlingly sprinkled on the high, round silver-white platform in front of Mebis and the others.

And a shadow suddenly flashed, and a strange tall and thin man stood on the round platform.

The cone-shaped spotted colored hats on both sides were hung with red and blue beads on the tops, and the wavy green hair was scattered to reveal the colorful spotted hats, and the white powder like heavy makeup was applied all over the face, leaving only a pair of shadow-covered eye circles.

The slender forest gray Western-style dress is tied with a pure white collar, which matches the other party's body, and there is a gentleman's style in the weirdness.

The strange man raised his delicate red lips and gave a seeping smile beneath him, while his long arms were outstretched. It's like hugging the gifted in the dark.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this once-in-a-five-year, rare to explode... Gastronomy assessment. ”

A funny smile appeared on his pale face, and his slender ankles kept twisting on the narrow silver table,

"And I.. Jack, oh. No, no, call me anyway.. Bill, uh-huh~. ”

The strange man who paused in his words said in a small voice, and then he stretched out his white muslin gloves, and his red cherry lips pursed together, and he made a blowing motion,

"Whew."

A blue rose that emitted a ghostly light lay quietly in his hand, and the strange man lowered his head and sniffed deeply, and then said,

"Come and preside over this fair game."

His dark eyes scanned around, but he was surprised to find darkness everywhere,

"Oh, yes, I forgot about it."

"Long whistle—"

He put two fingers into his mouth and blew violently, and the whistle suddenly spread throughout the silvery white field.

"Smack."

The dazzling light suddenly shot into Mebes's dark pupils, causing him to furrow his brows and narrow tightly. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see a sparse figure appear in the round-shaped auditorium around him.

"There could be a wizard apprentice coming to see this mortal cooking competition?" The boy noticed their strange costumes and couldn't help but wonder.

Then Bill tossed the rose in his hand high and said to them in a loud voice,

"I, who is both a scorer and a moderator, Joseph, will be with you."

"Please choose a cooking location below, there are different surprises in it"

Bill laughed on his pale face.

Just as the talents were choosing, a dissolute red-haired young man in a black robe appeared in the audience. The rest of the apprentices who were watching recognized the former and moved to his place.

"How did you get him?"

The young man thought to himself, pursed his lips and continued to watch,

On the long metal seat, the metal discs covered by the lids were neatly aligned, a total of 11, and the boy counted them, which corresponded to the number of talented people here.

"All kinds of ingredients under the lid of the silver meal?"

George leaned over to the round silver lid to find out what he could do with his ears so that he could learn more. But he was disappointed, and he didn't hear anything from the airtight lid, but heard his own low wheezing.

Not doing useless work, he quickly chose a round cover near the corner and strafed other talents, just in time to see a handsome young man with black hair and green eyes standing opposite him.

After a short pause, Bill looked at the black light curtain above him at the names of the contestants and the contestants, and his slender fingers twisted and snapped.

"Okay, it looks like our contestants are ready for this rookie contest."

"So,"

Bill spun around sharply, flicked the two horns of his hat that shrugged down his head to the back of his head, holding his funny, powdery face, and elongated voice,

"The game is officially on!"

"Let's cheer for them."

Joseph put his hands in the shape of OK in his ears, closed his bloodshot eyes tightly, shook his head, and said in an extremely excited voice,

But the surrounding apprentices did not respond at all, only symbolically touching their palms, and were not interested in Joseph's conscription.

"Oh, that's a disappointment,"

The strange man shook his body uncomfortably, and the muscles on his face kept shifting, and it took a while to stop.

Then put his feet together, gently jumped off the high round platform, and walked the sidewalk,

"As you can see, the ingredients in the round lid are all good stuff that is about to enter the stream."

Bill stared at the strange shapes on the plates of the gifted, running around like a child.

Mebis watched as her plate curled up together, wriggling like an octopus, glowing with a fishy scent.

"Time is tight, oh, there's still ... 58 min.. 50 seconds, oh no, it should be 49? 47 seconds. ”

The host looked at the pocket watch in his hand that had been a little stagnant because of age, and grinned.

There are only basic ingredients in the kitchen, such as salt, grease, vinegar, wine and other accessories, and as for spices, there is no such thing, which makes Mebes vaguely feel that the purpose of this assessment is in the ingredients, not the taste?

He observed the ingredients in the lid of Caroline's meal beside him, it was a white, fat guinea pig creature, and the female knight showed a caring expression, as if she had forgotten something important.

Looking around at the others, most of them are strange objects that are alive, all of them are rare and different-looking beings.

"If it's just about the ingredients, then he doesn't have to cook it all the time."

"With 4 short tentacles and no eyes? Is there ink oozing from the surface of the body? Where does the aroma come from? ”

A series of questions, even if Mebis has a knowledge base in another world, can't answer it, so can he only risk it?

In a fearless spirit, the boy frowned and tried one of its strange places.

"Octopuses are slimy, but they can't hurt themselves,"

He grabbed his two claws with one hand and kept moving, covered with black whiskers of dense suction cups, and the blade slashed through the tentacles of the octopus in an instant.

Since the octopus had not evolved a pain nerve, the cutting of the blade did not cause a violent struggle, and it was easy to kill him.

"Soft in size, similar to the body structure of an ordinary octopus"

"Huh? What is this little black meat bag? ”

Tearing open the whiskers of the still beating octopus, the boy took out various internal organs from its small head, and found a dark and shiny bag.
