Chapter 2116 “Please Be Merciful…

“This…”

Mag really didn’t know how to describe it.

There were many types of snails. Many of them might look alike, but they were, in fact, very different.

However, it was good that Amy was curious. As her father, he naturally had to satisfy her curiosity.

“System, I need some weird knowledge,” Mag said inwardly.

“There are many varieties of snails, most of them are poisonous and inedible. Meanwhile, we’re not sure if the edible species of snails on Earth such as the French escargots, the garden snails, and achatinella are available on the Norland Continent.

“The French escargots have a thick and round shell. Its shell is brownish and shiny, with many black and brown stripes…”

The system fed him a ton of knowledge.

“I gained more weird knowledge now.” Mag absorbed the information briefly before imparting it to Amy.

Amy listened carefully. After a while, she asked, “We can’t eat the poisonous snails, but we can eat the non-poisonous ones. Then, I can let Ugly Duckling eat the snails first, and if Ugly Duckling is fine, that means the snail is not poisonous, and we can eat it, right?”

The eyes of Ugly Duckling, which was crouching at the side, and looking at the soup dumpling in Amy’s plate, widened. It quickly stood up, and quietly backed off.

There’s something very wrong with you!

“It sounds reasonable, but it actually isn’t so.” Mag shook his head with a smile. “Being edible and being suitable to be made into a delicious dish are two very different things.

“For example, we won’t die if we eat the leaves on the tree at the front door, but the leaves cannot be used to make a delicious dish.” Amy listened seriously.

Mag continued, “It’s the same with the snails. Perhaps it’s not poisonous, but its texture can be very bad, or it can have a horrible taste. Such snails are not edible snails, either.” “I see…” Amy nodded thoughtfully, and took a bite of the bun. Feeling rather bothered, Amy said, “Then, where can I find edible snails?”

Mag looked at Amy with furrowed brows. Then, he quickly relaxed his frown. He got it. The little one had to have received a new system’s mission, and it had to be related to finding edible snails.

It is really a bothersome system, Mag complained inwardly before asking, “System, I want to order French escargots.”

“It’s not available.” The system’s answer was short and sweet.

“Other edible snails will do too,” Mag continued.

“Can the Host please not interfere in the missions issued by the other systems? This is not good for the system which is educating its host,” the system warned. “I’m helping Amy educate her system. There’s no such thing such as the system educating the host,” Mag said calmly.

“Please be merciful…”

“Just tell me if you’re selling it or not. I have a lot of money now. As long as it’s an edible snail, I’ll pay you 100 copper coins for every single one of them,” Mag said generously. “Host, you haven’t received the permission for that ingredient yet. Please work harder! Or, pay more!” the system gravely said.

“101. That’s all,” Mag said decisively.

“As long as it’s edible, 101 copper coins for every single one of them?” the system confirmed again.

“Yes.”

“Ding! 101 copper coins are successfully deducted! “Could the Host please proceed to the backyard now. There is a brown snail at the roots of the three osmanthus trees. It’s not poisonous, and is edible.” The system’s happy voice sounded.

F*ck!

Mag’s expression froze on his face. He’d just said that the snails in the backyard were absolutely inedible earlier, and now he had to bring Amy to go look for edible snails in the backyard?

This contradiction was way too much, and he couldn’t accept it at that moment.

He even suspected that the system put that snail in the backyard deliberately. “This is a serious reminder to the Host. That snail is alive, and is slowly moving. This System is not responsible if the snail disappears because the Host is late to catch it,” the system reminded Mag.

“Father, do you know it?” Amy looked at Mag with her big and cute eyes, seeking his help. Alright. I simply cannot reject her. Mag sighed inwardly. He put down the knife, stood up, and smilingly said, “Let’s go check out the backyard. Perhaps we can find one there.”

Amy slurped up all the soup on the plate, but she didn’t move. Instead, she looked at Mag perplexedly. “But… didn’t you just say that the snails in the backyard are definitely not edible?”

“Erm…” Mag has an awkward expression. One indeed shouldn’t speak too fast sometimes.

However, Mag quickly recovered his smile and nodded. “Hmm. I felt that I spoke too soon earlier. We should check it out before we confirm it. Perhaps there are new snails here today.” “I see. Father is really a conscientious person.” Amy nodded. She reached out to grab two of Mag’s fingers, and followed him to the backyard happily. The tavern’s backyard wasn’t big. It was just a little flowerbed. Irina modified it a few days ago. She added a magic shield that kept it warm, and planted some plants. The three original osmanthus trees were kept as they were.

Floral fragrance greeted them as soon as they opened the door. It made them feel refreshed.

A comfortable temperature coupled with flowers and plants; there naturally would be plenty of insects and little animals.

Mag saw the three little snails hanging in a damp corner of the wall as soon as he walked out of the door.

“There they are!” Amy noticed those three snails too. She quickly went over, crouched down, and observed them for a while before she turned around to look at Mag. “Father, they look like they’re edible.”

“They obviously look different from the traits that I’ve described earlier, alright?!” Mag went forward to take a look at those three ordinary snails. They looked horribly slimy. Mag quickly shook his head. “No. They’re not edible. Let’s look around. They usually hide around the roots of the trees.”

“Alright. I’ll let you guys off for the time being,” Amy told the three snails before running over to the three osmanthus trees, and started looking for the snails seriously.

“Oh, this?”

Mag had already noticed that giant brown snail at the third osmanthus tree’s roots. It was about the size of an adult’s palm, and was a clear brown. It was round and fat, and looked just like a conch.

“Wow! What a big snail!”

Amy noticed that snail too. She jogged over and squatted down.

That snail seemed to have sensed danger. It quickly turned around, and crawled up the tree trunk.

“Trying to escape?” Amy pressed it down with her palm.

That snail hid in its shell immediately.

Amy held that big snail, and asked Mag expectantly, “Father, can this snail be eaten?” This was the biggest snail that she had ever seen before. “Yes. This should be an edible snail.” Mag nodded. Be it the size or the appearance, this snail looked like the French escargots. It had to be the snail that the system mentioned.

Irina suddenly appeared at the door. Leaning against the door frame, she looked at the snail in Amy’s hand, and lazily said, “This is the cow snail. Its meat is acidic and corrosive, and it’s poisonous. It’s not edible.”
