After everyone finished this meal, they lay on their chairs for a long time, savoring the experience.
Eventually, Danfoss forced herself to muster her spirit, left the house, and headed to the Elder Council to continue her work.
This meal, besides describing it as delicious, Kane couldn't find other words to express it; in his impoverished vocabulary, only "delicious" could represent his most sincere emotions.
After a while, everyone recovered, sat up, and squeezed their palms, loosened and tightened their fists, loosened and tightened.
Then they waved their fists in the air a few times.
He was feeling the enhancement in his attributes brought by the meal; perhaps because it was a gold-level delicious food, this time the experience of full attribute enhancement was very apparent, and he could clearly feel the improvement in his constitution.
It wasn't like other delicious foods, where there was only a subtle feeling.
He could also see what seemed like a thin film plated on his skin, which he couldn't perceive by touch or feel.
This should be the enhancement in all attribute resistance brought by sublimation, where the so-called "all attributes" even included resistance to spirit and soul.
"I've decided," Kreya suddenly said while staring at the ceiling, drawing everyone's attention.
Lilulu flashed and appeared atop Kreya's horse, lied on the horse's back, and softly asked, "What have you decided on, Kreya?"
"I've decided on the next dungeon to explore."
Upon hearing Kreya's words, Lilulu immediately perked up, flashed again in front of Kreya, and eagerly asked while flapping her wings.
"Really? Where is it? Quickly tell Lilulu."
Not only Lilulu, but also Kane and others looked towards Kreya, ears pricked up, ready to listen to what Kreya was about to say next.
"To the City of Gastronomy, to explore the legendary dungeon that achieves the path of delicious food."
A choice that indeed fell within expectations.
Upon hearing Kreya's words, Burton recalled something, pondered for a moment, and said, "We should definitely take a trip to the City of Gastronomy, just as your strength reaches the silver level; it would be such a pity not to visit."
Hearing Burton's words, Kane couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
"I've always heard about the dungeon of the City of Gastronomy, but I've never known the exact situation of that dungeon."
"The dungeon of the City of Gastronomy?" Burton took out a tobacco pipe from his pocket, shook it, then lit it and placed it in his mouth.
"The dungeon of the City of Gastronomy can be considered one of the longest existing dungeons today, although it's not the oldest; it definitely counts as one of the most renowned."
"Why say so?"
Burton took a hard puff and then slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist.
"Because the establishment of the City of Gastronomy is due to this dungeon, and the owner of the City of Gastronomy is this dungeon's owner, owing to the existence of the City of Gastronomy, the Food Association was founded. Do you know how long the Food Association has existed?"
This question perhaps Kane and the others don't know, but Kreya certainly does.
"The Food Association should've existed for nearly 700 years."
Upon hearing Kreya's words, Burton nodded and continued.
"Yes, the Food Association has existed for 714 years. Although it can't be considered a historically long-standing association, it has been around for quite some time, and the City of Gastronomy has been established for over 800 years. Correspondingly, that dungeon has been around for over 800 years."
"That dungeon is entirely constructed from various delicious foods and ingredients, beyond the understanding of normal people. Many plants and animals can even be consumed directly on the spot, leading the entire dungeon to be filled with various extremely precious and rare magic ingredients from an external perspective."
After listening to Burton's words, Kane nodded knowingly: "So it is precisely because the owner of the City of Gastronomy controls this dungeon that the City of Gastronomy and the Food Association can be established."
"Yes, that's exactly right."
A dungeon full of delicious foods and ingredients? What kind of scene could it be? He couldn't imagine it at all now.
Although he couldn't imagine it, this dungeon completely aroused his curiosity; now his soul had already flown to the City of Gastronomy.
"What's the name of this dungeon?" Meizike suddenly asked.
"World Table!"
World Table, huh? This name certainly is very fitting. As for exactly how fitting it is, only Kane and the others will know once they've truly visited.
"Does this dungeon have any mechanisms?" Kreya asked, as this was the more concerning issue; each dungeon's mechanisms have slight differences.
If the mechanism is too bizarre, it might be very unsuitable for their team.
"Wait a moment," Burton began rummaging through his space equipment.
He soon took out a book about the size of a regular book but thicker.
The title on the book was "World Table."
He handed the book to Kreya, who carefully perused it before passing it to Kane and the others.
As soon as Kane and the others got the book, they gathered together to examine it closely.
The first few pages of this book introduced the World Table.
The owner of the World Table is currently a Mist Traveler whose name wasn't revealed on this page but only explained his power.
Mist Traveler, huh, a powerful five-colored level figure.
This is a realm Kane cannot comprehend; it's far beyond his reach, completely unimaginable what kind of power a strong individual at this level possesses.
And this dungeon has existed for 800 years. Under the owner's hands, it's been unknowingly transformed into something new.
It also introduces the original dungeon mechanisms and compares them with the current dungeon mechanisms.
The dungeon initially was a place with no possibility of exit, and it restricted solo entry.
Dungeons that limit the number of entrants are extremely rare, almost impossible to encounter, let alone such a restriction of solo entry.
It can indeed be described as a rarity.
Moreover, at that time, the dungeon's ecological environment and various beasts and monsters were vastly different from the areas ordinary explorers lived, and it only allowed solo exploration, resulting in a high mortality rate. Two explorers dispatched by the Mist Council died.
The Mist Council's dungeon exploration mechanism sends only two waves; if both fail, the council will label the dungeon with a highly dangerous black tag and cease exploration.
The first wave of explorers are those currently at this level with strong abilities and rich dungeon exploration experience.
If the first wave dies, the second wave will be dispatched.
The personnel of the second wave must be the most elite forces at the current level with extremely rich exploration experience.
If the second wave also fails, the Mist Council will promptly cut losses, tag the dungeon, and stop exploring.
Not to mention this dungeon, where even two people had no opportunity to use items to exit the dungeon.
Deaths during the second wave of council exploration in the dungeon are extremely rare, as there's generally a chance to use escape items taught by the council to exit the dungeon.
Later, it was explored and cleared, and by mastering it, people realized the significant difference between that dungeon's world and the outside world.
Moreover, the clearance task turned out to be hunting.
Now, this dungeon mechanism has changed dramatically; any explorer can enter and exit freely, and the number of explorers is unlimited, while the dungeon area has become extremely vast.
It's basically impossible to imagine completing the entire dungeon exploration.
The clearance mechanism has also changed to hunting one monster per level from level 1 to level 6. Once the hunt for each level is completed, the opportunity to hunt level 7 is obtained.
A level 7 monster is equivalent to the final boss in a normal Silver dungeon.
Of course, the level 7 monster hunt is randomly drawn.
There are quite a few level 7 monsters that are far superior to normal Silver dungeon bosses, which solely depend on luck. If the strength gap is too large, one can completely exit the dungeon and quit the clearance without being affected.
After reading these, Kane continued to flip through the back, as these introductions are only a few short pages.
Almost every page afterward introduces the varieties of plants and animals in the dungeon, even with levels marked.
Levels 1 to 3 have strength at the Copper level.
Levels 4 to 6 have strength at the Silver level.
Every dangerous plant and animal is marked with their habits and possible appearance areas.
There are even introductions, such as what regions these plants and animals live in, their taste, edible parts, usage value, and possible enhancements.
Except for the introduction on the few pages before, the rest is just the entire dungeon monster's illustrated guide.
What's marked above are only the more common and well-known monsters in the dungeon, while many strange and rare monsters, even after 800 years, remain misunderstood in terms of habits and areas.
These require them to purchase the next volume of this book.
After reading this, Kane stared at Burton.
Not only Kane, but Kreya and the others also stared at Burton, obviously asking him where the next volume of this booklet was.
Faced with everyone's gaze, Burton shrugged and said, "There is no next volume. When I bought this booklet, it was already two hundred years ago. At that time, this volume had just come out, and the next volume is indefinitely postponed. Later, when it did come out, I was too lazy to buy it again."
"When you go over there, it will definitely be sold locally. No need to rush right now."
Unexpectedly, this book already has a 200-year history.
Kane asked worriedly, "It has a 200-year history; hasn't the dungeon mechanism changed?"
Hearing Kane's question, Burton shook his head and patted his chest, promisingly.
"Rest assured, although I haven't revisited the City of Gastronomy, I've always followed the various magazines and news of the Food Association. The mechanism hasn't changed since then."
"Is that so? That's good."
"Then it's decided, the next dungeon will be the City of Gastronomy's [World Table]."
Kane said to his teammates.
Kreya and the others nodded to confirm.
Today marks their more than 20 days of rest, so in a few more days, they can head to the City of Gastronomy.
However, as it's the City of Gastronomy, there's no problem in experiencing its local customs a bit earlier.
"Since it's decided, we'll leave in a few days, researching routes to the City of Gastronomy to see how best to get there."
Upon Kane's words, everyone started preparing on their own.
Confirm routes, set transmission tickets and transportation times.
