Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 465 Anti-God Treasures

Upon hearing Xing's question, Eve and the Lonely King exchanged a smile.

"Yes and no, because we've only actually met once," Eve said with a smile.

“Yes, an old friend I’ve only met once.” The Lone King nodded.

"this......"

Xing is increasingly unable to understand Eve's mother's interpersonal relationships.

An old friend I've only met once?

How could anyone say such a thing?

With a "ding," Xing picked up her phone.

It was a message from the robin.

"Mom Eve, the robin has invited us to Dream Reef."

"I understand," Eve nodded.

At this moment, the King was somewhat surprised, "Eve...Mom?"

"When...did you become a mother?" The Lone King frowned slightly, his face full of doubt.

"It was just a small thing," Xing said from the side.

“This is my goddaughter,” Eve replied.

"You should be outside of Teyvat by now, right?"

The Lone King nodded slightly. "The Holy Grail has told me about a part of this world."

"Then it seems I don't need to explain in detail. In short, I'm looking for my way back."

"So, I took in a few goddaughters," Eve explained.

"I see, wait? How many?" The Lone King was bewildered once again.

"There should be... maybe seven or eight, I haven't counted carefully," Eve said casually.

"Let's go, we can't keep the robin waiting too long."

.....................

Liumeng Reef.

Stepping into this place, which was completely out of place during the Golden Age, both Saber and the Lone King showed expressions of surprise.

"Is this the world called Pinocene?"

“But this place is completely different from before.” The Lone King observed carefully; the environment here was almost identical to Old Mondstadt.

“There will always be differences, if you know its other name, the Land of Exile,” Eve said.

The king looked around at everything and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

Eve's words made him think of something.

At this moment, Saber spoke:

"Master, it wasn't until I set foot here, in this place called 'Dream Reef,' that I understood this was indeed a world chosen by the 'Holy Grail.'"

"Why?" Xing asked, puzzled.

"Just as every magnificent palace has dusty, unseen corners, in which countless unfulfilled desires reside, the Holy Grail descends upon these hidden places."

"It is precisely this land that proves that Pinocone is not a dreamland, but merely an exaggerated projection of reality."

Not long after Saber finished speaking, a clap of thunder was heard.

"Huh? What's that sound?" Xing looked up at the sky, her face full of confusion.

Saber blushed immediately. "Um, sorry, I was just hungry."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find somewhere to eat. I'm hungry because your stomach is rumbling."

Saber hesitated before nodding. "Uh... as a Servant, I don't carry the money of this world with me when I'm in the present world. Master's wallet... is that alright?"

“As long as you run fast, it’s free,” Xing said without hesitation.

“This…” Saber was at a loss for words.

"If I really have no other choice, I'll have to work as a waiter here to pay off my debt."

“Yes, I’m a little hungry too. Let’s go eat, old friend,” Eve said to the Lone King.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the King's eyes. "A good suggestion, but are we really not going to be detained in the shop?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who gets stuck in the shop because they don't have money?" Eve countered.

"Yes, it does." The Lone King nodded.

The King knows Eve's deeds in Teyvat like the back of his hand.

“Yes, it looks like it,” Hoshino chimed in.

Eve was immediately at a loss.

"Fine, I won't deny it."

"But isn't Robin treating us today?" Eve's lips curled up slightly, looking a little playful.

“That makes sense!” Xing’s eyes lit up immediately.

"Let's hurry, the 'Dream Fast Food Restaurant' is just ahead."

"it is good!"

"A restaurant in an unknown world... what delicious food will I get to eat...?" Saber became excited and rushed over with Hoshino.

Only the Lone King sighed, his tone revealing deep worry.

.....................

Dream Fast Food Restaurant.

“Oh, my dear guest, welcome. What would you like to eat?” asked Tris, the fast food server.

"Hey? Isn't this the Nameless Guest? You're here for that... Holy Grail War, right?"

"The person next to you, I suppose, is the 'Heroic Spirit' you summoned? May I ask, Miss Heroic Spirit, which famous figure in Pinocchio's history are you?"

Triss looked at Saber expectantly.

Saber shook her head. "I'm sorry, but in the Holy Grail War, 'True Names' are extremely important information, and I cannot tell you."

Triss immediately became serious. "Okay, I understand, I understand. Just like the recipe needs to be kept a secret."

At that moment, Eve led the Lone King in.

"You, you are Ms. Eve? Good heavens! Ms. Eve has actually come here?"

Triss recognized Eve the moment she saw her.

This single stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and the atmosphere in the fast food restaurant instantly exploded.

The people having their meal were all talking about it.

I never expected that the famous Ms. Eve would come to Liumeng Reef and even have a meal here.

"Are you famous here?" the Lone King asked in a low voice.

“It’s alright,” Eve said after thinking for a moment. “After all, the whole of Pinocchio is mine.”

The king fell silent once more.

He always felt that Eve now was different from Eve before.

It seems to have become... unconventional?

However, this is for the best; those who live in the past forever are destined to have no way forward.

Just like him...

"Could you please tell me what this restaurant's signature dish is?"

Saber had already ordered the food.

Without hesitation, Cui said, "If this is your first time visiting Liumeng Reef, I highly recommend you try our 'Sky Ring Wing Burger'—you won't find such a delicious burger anywhere else."

"The bread and all other food products in our shop are made from ingredients sourced from pristine, organic farms. The soil in which they grow is free of harmful substances..."

"Thank you, no need for further introductions, this 'Sky Ring Wing Castle' will do."

Saber interrupted her because she was so hungry.

“Okay, give me 100!” Xing said directly.

"Okay... Huh? 100? Are you sure?" Triss was a little confused.

"Sky Ring Wing Fortress, can you get enough to eat if it's not Sky Ring?" Xing said seriously.

Saber exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you look so serious and reliable, how come you tell corny jokes!"

Triss was clearly surprised by this answer and immediately said, "With so many days in the Fortress of Wings, our shop needs some time to prepare. Please be patient, both of you."

"Ms. Eve, and your boyfriend... oh no, male friend, would you like something to eat?" Triss asked.

Eve ignored her words and turned to the Lone King, "What would you like to eat?"

The king pondered for a long time, "Do you have sweet flower-stuffed chicken?"

"They probably don't have that here, but honey-glazed roast chicken should be about the same," Eve thought for a moment.

When Eve talks about Sweet Flower Chicken, she thinks of Teyvat cuisine, where she used to fight Paimon for food.

"Two honey-glazed roast chickens, please? Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Triss immediately went into the kitchen to start preparing.

At this point, everyone started chatting.

"Speaking of which, what wish does Saber want to make to the Holy Grail?" Xing asked.

Saber thought for a moment, "If I am fortunate enough to win, I hope for... peace."

“Nuclear peace? Hmm, that’s what I’d like too.” Xing highly praised Saber’s wish.

"And what about you, old friend?" Eve looked at the Lone King.

"If I could, I would like to return to Teyvat, to Mondstadt..." The Lone King's wish was simple.

Eve shook her head. "I'm sorry, I've already tried."

"The Holy Grail's authority to grant wishes seems to reside in this dimension."

At this moment, Saber suddenly tensed up. "Please wait a moment before we talk. I sense other Servants approaching."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But a moment later, a robin came in.

"Two Sky Ring Wing Burgers and two bottles of Susa Water. Miss Note, is that alright?"

"Of course... but I'm afraid this isn't a place for a peaceful meal. There's a conspicuous servant in front of us."

After ordering, the robin finally noticed Star and Eve.

“Hello, Ms. Eve, and Star,” the robin said very politely.

“Miss Yin Fu, this is the ‘trustworthy friend’ I mentioned to you earlier.”

Upon hearing this, Saber immediately relaxed her guard. "So... you're a friend of the Master?"

“Yes, we are friends,” the robin said with a smile.

"By the way, madam, could you please put these guests' meals on my tab as well? Also, could you please ensure a quiet dining environment for us and prevent other customers from disturbing us? I will leave an extra tip, thank you."

Triss poked her head out from the kitchen. "Okay, don't worry, no one will bother you except when the food is being served."

“That Servant, please tone down your murderous aura. If your hand is always on your sword... I will have to do something to protect Miss Robin.” Miss Note knew clearly that Saber had not completely let her guard down.

But the other male servant beside her was someone she couldn't understand at all.

Saber was very serious. "This is the Holy Grail War. Please forgive me, but I will be on the defensive at all times until I am sure that you have no ill intentions towards my Master."

“Relax, we really are friends.” Xing stopped Saber.

"Besides, with Eve's mother around, if they make the first move, they'll be the ones who suffer."

“Well… okay.” Saber lowered her guard.

After all, that follower named the Lonely King of the Tower possessed terrifying strength.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, if you're going to fight, at least eat first! Your Heavenly Wing Fortress is here!"

Just then, Triss came over, dragging a cart piled high with hamburgers.

"Then... let's eat first?" Xing suggested.

Miss Note nodded. "Agreed."

The robin was taken aback when it saw the mountain of hamburgers. "Star...you guys ordered so many?"

"It was just a small thing." Xing smiled.

After the meal, everyone calmed down. Indeed, the dining table is the most suitable place for diplomacy.

"Thank you so much for treating us to the Heavenly Wing Burger." Xing wiped her mouth.

"Thank you very much." Saber's expression was serious, and her face was very earnest.

The robin was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing. I love seeing the happy smiles on other people's faces after they've eaten their fill. But your servant certainly has a voracious appetite!"

“Miss Saber, I don’t recall anyone like you in Pinocchio’s history,” Miss Note asked, puzzled.

"Moreover, neither you nor I have any recollection of this Mr. Berserker next to us."

Saber explained, “Because I am not from the history of Pinocene… I am not even from the history of your world.”

"Mr. Berserker is one of them."

The robin frowned. "I...don't quite understand what you mean."

“I am the Knight King who once ruled the otherworldly kingdom of Britain. I do not exist in the history of Pinocchio, and therefore should not be summoned to this Holy Grail War.”

"But the reality is that in this Holy Grail War, besides Berserker and me, there is at least one other Heroic Spirit from another world," Saber said solemnly.

"Please forgive me for asking such a naive question: What exactly are you 'heroic spirits'? Are you really the souls of historical figures after they died?" the robin asked, puzzled.

Saber nodded. "Let's understand it this way for now—a Heroic Spirit is someone remembered by history. Summoned by the Holy Grail, their spirit manifests in the world with a body made of 'magic power' and uses special abilities formed from their famous anecdotes from their lifetime...'Noble Phantasms.'"

The robin was even more confused. "Uh, 'magic,' 'treasure'...do such things really exist?"

“How can I explain this? This seems to be a world where mysterious forces are extremely scarce, and the ‘magic’ I know probably can’t work as usual. Therefore, many things in this ‘Holy Grail War’ exist in a different way than in the past,” Saber continued.

"However, some of the Noble Phantasms are still usable, though some are somewhat unstable."

"Moreover, Noble Phantasms are also divided into levels. For example, my sword is a [City-Extinguishing Noble Phantasm]."

"But Mr. Berserker is different. His Noble Phantasm appeared from the very beginning and has materialized."

Saber looked at the ancient oath of freedom adorning the Lone King's waist.

That was a [Anti-God Treasure].
