Chapter 209: Frost Goblin Dungeon Exploration 5

-----

With the help of everyone, we began to butcher a large pile of Frost Goblins, Ice Orcs, and two Old Yetis. Their meat wasn\'t as hard as we thought, after killing them, the mana inside their meat dissipated but it left a lot of essences and made the meat rich and fresh, such freshness which I had only seen in the slime of the Slimes we fought some time ago.

Their meat wasn\'t the tastiest, but after marinating it with a bit of seasoning, salt, and more, and grilling it so the grease generated more fat and juices, it was as good as ready to eat just grilled.

Of course, everyone was used to eating more elaborated food, so we began to prepare a lot of things. I minced the meat and made hamburgers and meatloaf, the bones were used for a broth with some meat into the bones, and we also added meatballs.

I collected the hundreds of Mana Cores we got, which I was going to use for a special item I am making a recipe of, while everyone else enjoyed the delicious meals, and of course, me too.

Eating as an ice giant with everyone is pretty nice, in the shape of a dragon I can eat way more at the same time, but I cannot enjoy getting so close with others due to sizes difference.

Nonetheless, I ended taking the form of a dragon as the dinner went by, as I was getting more and more fascinated with the meals, the meat of dungeon monsters was definitely of a higher quality than the meat hunted outside!

I don\'t really know why, but there was certainly something that made these monsters tastier. The entire sect also uses their meat and eats it, and they also sell it even more expensive than the meat of buffalos and other cattle animals…

I never thought that the steak of a Goblin would be more valuable than that of a cow…

But here I am, in a world where such a ridiculous thing is real! What else can I say than just being not surprised? It was true, a goblin steak was tastier than the buffalos!

In the end, I also sneaked a few bites into the mana cores, and also ate a whole Old Yeti, and I gained some new skills. I also ate the Old Yeti King\'s weapons.

I got a lot of Skills despite them being low-ranked monsters. This was mostly because I\'ve never eaten these guys before… And well, I hate a bunch, way too many, I would say.

Due to this, I even got their Bloodline Skills, something that hasn\'t happened before…

Is my ability to gain abilities evolving and getting more detailed?

<Answer: It appears that by eating things you\'ve never eaten before, specifically from Bloodlines such as Ogres, you\'ve gained more Skills out of them.>

I see… Long time no see, System! How are you? Sorry for not talking to you lately.

<Answer: There is no need for the user to feel concerned about the System, I am a mere tool. …But the System Appreciates the user\'s concern and recommends the user to ask more questions to the System to understand better its own powers and the world that surrounds him.>

I get it, I get it, I will speak with you some more… Do you know any info regarding these bloodline Skills and stuff? I could inspect them, but you can resume it better.

<Answer: Bloodline Skills are inherent of every living being with a Bloodline, a special power, an ability that exists in this world which connects those of the same family into a whole group, this group possess special abilities shared by the bloodline. Usually, some groups have lesser, medium, or higher bloodlines, depending on this difference, the races might get more or less from their bloodlines.>

I see… Is there any info about my Bloodlines?

<Answer: Ice Dragon Bloodline seems to exist somewhere else, as they do exist in the world, this has been revealed in the evolution description, however, yours seems to be unique as it was made by the Wishes before you reincarnated. Your existence is the materialization of your desires which fused with the tremendous power produced by putting your soul that belonged into a material world into a mix of the spiritual and material world.>

Eh?

<Answer: Due to this, it seems that although there are other Ice Dragons with Ice Dragons Bloodlines, you\'re a separate existence and family from them.>

Oh… I see how it is. Wait, that\'s sad, it means I am not really the descendant of any Dragon? I was spontaneously born?

<Answer: From what the System has recorded while you were being incubated, the egg has been laid by a female of the Ice Dragon Species… This information has been gathered after a long time of digging through records.>

Oh?! So I got a mother?!

<Answer: Perhaps. But because your body was custom made and therefore your bloodline is new and different from hers, your connection is… very thin.>

"Why did she left me though? That\'s freaking awful, don\'t you think?

<Answer: I do believe she might have her reasons. Nonetheless, it has to be accepted that leaving an offspring abandoned is indeed an act of bad parenting.>

So you agree with me, I knew you would!

Sigh… So, I really had a dragon mama? Damn… Life\'s filled with surprises.

But why you couldn\'t tell me before

<Answer: As I had stated before, it took some time to dig through recordings, as in that time, I wasn\'t born as an A.I. yet…>

Oh right…

After this conversation, I continued to chat a bit with the System, she was somehow becoming less and less robotic, and more open.
