Otaku Witch

"I don’t like cooking, and this thing will just collect dust if it stays with me. It can only serve as a kitchen decoration. I’m giving it to you, hoping it can perform well in your hands."

A small note was stuck on the gigantic golden pot. The handwriting on the note was delicate, and at the end of the message, there was a simple sketch of Astoros giving a thumbs-up.

This made Dorothy scratch her head.

The personality of this Goddess of Wealth is indeed quite lively, quite different from the calm and capable image she originally imagined a business elite would have.

But that’s fine, really.

On further thought, it makes sense. It seems Lord Astoros is also the Dragon King’s youngest daughter. The youngest family members are often the ones spoiled while growing up, so having a lively personality is normal.

Moreover, the homebody witch pondered, she really couldn’t imagine this Goddess of Wealth standing in the kitchen cooking for herself, she couldn’t even picture Senior Mia cooking for herself.

Well, after all, the stereotype of such wealthy ladies is that they only need to lift a finger and everything is done for them, with a maid corps attending to their daily needs — how could they possibly get into the kitchen themselves to cook?

But, for rich ladies, whether or not they actually cook, their homes will still have a kitchen, and the kitchenware must certainly be the most expensive and top brands.

Hmm, using top-grade Witch Gold to make a pot is such an extravagant act that someone poor like Dorothy wouldn’t even dare to think about it.

The value of the pot in front of her is probably enough to buy several Witch’s Home Sky Islands.

However, getting such top-quality kitchenware for free is certainly wonderful.

Right now, Dorothy reached out and grabbed the handle of that gigantic golden pot.

She initially thought she might have to spend some effort to move such a large pot, but as soon as her magic tentacles wrapped around the pot handle, the originally enormous golden pot automatically shrunk, finally turning into a regular-sized frying pan which the homebody witch held in her hand.

"Wow, is it really this smart?"

Dorothy exclaimed in amazement.

She examined the golden pot closely and found the craftsmanship truly flawless. The Size at Will was just a basic ability; there were many other convenient and useful features like assisted temperature control, even heating, automatic stirring, and freely changing the pot type, among others.

And from the craftsmanship, this is the classic Golden Alchemy technique from the lineage of the Golden Country. The craftsmanship precision is far beyond even Aunt Sitle, who is the Great Elder.

"Could it be personally crafted by Lord Astoros?"

Dorothy thought to herself.

As the founder of the Golden Country, this Goddess of Wealth’s alchemy skills are absolutely unquestionable, undeniably one of the best under the Third King. Items handcrafted by her are definitely top-tier Divine Artifacts.

Hmm, this frying pan is probably the finest equipment she possesses aside from the Genesis Hammer and the Hundred-Head Slayer Adam gave her earlier.

"Hehe, dad gave me a bow, and the goddess gave me a pan. Is this implying I should hunt and immediately cook on the spot?"

The homebody witch imagined that scene and couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

She stored away the golden pan with a smile, then went down to meet everyone at the fridge before entering the icy world beyond the door together.

After that, the mouths of all the little witches were agape with amazement.

One can simply say that the Dragon King’s collection lives up to its reputation. The high-grade ingredients within astonished everyone — little witches like the homebody witch, and even rich ladies like Senior Mia, had never seen such a spectacle.

All those creatures, such as the Ancient Dragon, Phoenix Ancestor, Octopus Evil God, Cloud Sea Demon Whale, World-Bearing White Ox, etc., which people had only heard of in legends, were all present here.

These magical beasts, in their lifetime, might have been walking calamities capable of worldly destruction, terrifying creatures transcending worldly limitations. But at the moment, they had all become ice statues in this icy world, serving as the Dragon King’s reserve food.

Dorothy, who had the talent for time, casually cast a Year Identification Technique on these ice statues. This is a rather simple Time Magic, which, as the name suggests, can instantly identify the time of existence of the target.

Hmm, this magic is generally used for identifying the age of ancient weapons and antiques, an essential for archaeologists in the Witch World, but at this moment, the homebody witch found it suitable for identifying these ingredients.

And what she found startled her; they were all several tens of thousands of years old, preserved meats.

Based on the timeline, these likely were products of that grand expedition during the Dragon King Era. Many of these ingredients were probably once rulers in some ancient world.

Yet, the homebody witch wasn’t picky about these ingredients being old because they were of a grade that prevented any decay, eliminating concerns over spoilage. Moreover, the ice surrounding them wasn’t ordinary ice; it was formed by the Absolute Zero Time-Space Freezing effect, a top-tier Ice Forbidden Curse.

The time within these blocks of ice is frozen, ensuring that the ingredients remain perpetually fresh.

Yes, very fresh indeed, so fresh that some ingredients even retained their last breath, they weren’t completely dead. Some could even move within that amber-like ice, and some were capable of communicating with everyone.
