These two magic puppets Moray made for Otto looked quite similar to humans from their appearance.
Setting aside their appearance for now, Otto tried to follow Moray’s guidance, attaching his mental power to the magic crystal in the back of the puppet’s head.
Soon after, Otto felt a change in his vision and, shaking his head, discovered that part of his perspective had been transferred to this magic puppet.
He tried to control the movements of the magic puppet’s limbs, but immediately stumbled and fell.
Otto was not used to the mechanical feeling of the magic puppets.
Perhaps Moray had predicted this situation early on, so he made the materials for the magic puppets very strong.
Once Otto became completely familiar with this strange new body, he began to try controlling another magic puppet at the same time.
Two completely different perspectives suddenly made Otto feel dizzy, and the two magic puppets he controlled began to wrestle non-stop.
When Otto was able to control two magic puppets simultaneously for some simple actions, the day had already turned dark, and a day passed like this.
By the second day, Otto was able to simply control two magic puppets at the same time.
It was unknown if he had a certain talent in this area or if there were other reasons.
Having learned of some news through Saru, Sofia rushed from the magic laboratory to the council chamber, followed by Elise and a few other corrupt elves.
As a result, she found Otto controlling two magic puppets doing something; it seemed like he was cooking…
Indeed, Otto was cooking. One magic puppet was boiling water, while the other was cutting wild boar skin, removing excess fat from it.
After all, he wanted to practice this strange dual perspective, so Ott decided to cook something from his previous life.
What Otto wanted to make was actually very simple: pigskin jelly, a traditional dish from the flower family.
Giant Wild Boar and Raging Wild Boar could be considered one of the specialties of Nolan Forest, as they were everywhere.
The preparation of pigskin jelly was simple: after cleaning the pigskin, rinse it two or three times with water and let it cool, then cut it into strips, place it in an iron pot, add water, spices, and salt, and cook it over medium heat for an hour.
Although there were no green onions or ginger, Otto found some other things to replace them for deodorization, such as Fiber Trees, which had a similar flavor to green onions.
He discovered these strange things some time ago when he was devouring a large pile of food he had never eaten before.
Finally, Otto controlled the magic puppets to pour the cooked pigskin and soup into a prepared container, ready to let it cool and set. However, after he saw Sofia, he had a new idea.
Quick, make me an ice block!”
Though it was strange, Sofia still conjured an ice block as tall as herself using magic for Otto.
With great care, Otto controlled the magic puppet to place the metal container with pigskin jelly on the magic ice block. Although the movement was still somewhat clumsy, nothing went wrong in the end.
Seeing that it seemed like the big clumsy dragon had finished, Sofia asked curiously, “What are you doing? It looks like you’re making some food…”
While controlling the magic puppets to perform some difficult actions, Otto answered, “It’s a snack. When paired with prepared sauce, it tastes quite good.””But it seems to be made of wild boar skin…”
Sofia furrowed her pretty eyebrows. In her memory, wild boar skins were usually used to make leather armor and such.
Can such a thing really be eaten?
It seems Otto had also noticed Sofia’s doubts, but he didn’t explain much, just saying calmly, “You’ll find out soon!”
The half-elf girl rolled her eyes, while Elise promptly brought a chair over from behind.
With her hand supporting her small cheek, Sofia simply sat here to wait, curious to see if something edible could really be made from those pig skins.
During the waiting time for the pigskin to freeze and cool down, Otto took the opportunity to observe Elise.
From Sofia’s casual conversations, he learned that this girl was actually a princess from the royal high elf family in the Dawn Forest.
Green Dragon Cassiopeia, who corrupted her, had been dead for three years, and Elise and the other Corrupted Elves gradually began to break free from the dragon’s magical influence.
The green roots of her hair began to slowly return to their original golden color.
Meanwhile, without any external pressures, Elise only needed to take care of Sofia’s daily life to ensure her own safety.
And so, these once ferocious and monstrous corrupted elves started to appear aloof and kind again.
However, Otto had always had objections to the attire of these elves serving Sofia; they mostly wore tight-fitting leather armor or slim, formal-style long skirts.
These didn’t look like maids or servants at all.
Maybe it was necessary to purchase some black-and-white maid uniforms from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce – only by wearing professional clothes could they appear professional.
Thinking of this, Otto stealthily glanced at Sofia, and sighed in relief when he found that the half-elf girl hadn’t noticed anything.
Once the pigskin was completely cooled, Otto skillfully controlled the magic puppet, taking a small knife and awkwardly slicing the frozen meat into pieces before sprinkling some simple sauce on them.
He then handed a plate to Sofia and controlled the magic puppet to put a large piece of pigskin jelly into his own mouth.
Yum, although there was no soy sauce, it was already delicious and definitely a fresher taste compared to having roasted meat every day.
Although Otto ate a portion of the pigskin jelly first, Sofia still had a natural resistance to this pork product.
So she looked at Elise, who was standing behind her.
After an exchange of glances, a tearful Elise heroically took a fork and stuffed a twisted slice of the frozen meat into her mouth.
Next, a puzzled expression appeared on her face, and she took another piece soaked in sauce and tasted it again.
This piqued Sofia’s interest; she knew that Elise’s appetite was similar to her own, preferring various fruits and vegetables, and usually avoiding meat whenever possible.
Out of curiosity, Sofia also put a slice of jelly into her mouth, and the strange taste immediately opened new doors for her.
Elise wanted to eat another piece, but she was frightened by the food-protective Sofia and immediately shrank back, feeling wronged in her heart..
