Chapter 232: Chapter232-Fel Ram? Grill It and Eat!

Caelan was just about to dig in when he caught sight of Evelyn.

Unlike Caelan, who had set his eyes on the roasted Fel Ram, Evelyn was clearly far more fond of the desserts here.

At this very moment, a mountain of sweets had already piled up in front of her—and that was under the condition that Evelyn had been constantly refusing the maids’ attempts to serve her.

Otherwise, she might very well have been drowned in an ocean of desserts.

"Lord Caelan, you’re finally here!"

The moment she saw him, Evelyn’s eyes curved into crescents. She pointed at the desserts before her and said with a bright smile,

"You have to try these. They taste really good, and they have a very distinct abyssal flavor."

Caelan nodded, rose to his feet, walked over, and took a seat beside Evelyn.

Just then, Jester Tycoon approached from not far away. The moment he saw Caelan, a respectful expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Lord Caelan, I didn’t expect you to be awake so early! Please, try the roasted Fel Ram here and see whether it suits your taste."

"I gave special instructions to the chef and had him prepare one in a style suited to human tastes, and another with the distinctive flavors of the abyss. Please see which one you prefer."

Faced with Jester Tycoon’s deliberate show of goodwill, Caelan merely smiled faintly.

"In that case, thank you."

With that, Caelan picked up a skewer of roasted Fel Ram and began eating heartily.

He had to admit, the roasted Fel Ram of the abyss really did taste excellent. Especially the tender juices, blended with the unique fragrance of Mistgrass, which made it irresistibly appetizing.

Casually, Caelan used [Eye of Insight] to inspect the effects of the roasted Fel Ram.

[Roasted Fel Ram Skewer]

[Effect: After consuming it, you will gain a 1% bonus to stamina recovery. In addition, your maximum mind power will increase by 1%. (This effect only works the first time it is consumed.)]

Although the bonus was only 1%, it was permanent.

As far as Caelan knew, any item capable of permanently increasing attributes was an extremely precious treasure.

It seemed Jester Tycoon really had paid quite a price this time.

At that thought, Caelan calmly looked at Jester Tycoon and said in an even tone,

"Thank you very much for your generous hospitality. If there is anything you need help with, you may try asking."

The moment Jester Tycoon heard that, his face instantly filled with flattered delight.

"Honored Lord Caelan, thank you so much for your recognition. What I have done is truly nothing at all. You are the esteemed guest of the Lord of Abyss. Before you, I am as humble as an ant!"

At that point, Jester Tycoon paused, then adopted an even more deferential posture and spoke in a lowered voice,

"Of course, if the two of you would be willing to attend the Fallen Revelry in a few days’ time, I would be deeply honored."

When Evelyn heard that, a trace of curiosity flashed through her eyes.

"Fallen Revelry? What exactly is it?"

In truth, neither Evelyn nor Caelan knew much about the local customs of the abyss.

But judging by the name alone, it sounded rather interesting.

The only question was just how decadent and revelrous this party really was.

Faced with Evelyn’s question, Jester Tycoon only smiled mysteriously.

"Honored guests, please allow me to keep a little suspense. This celebration has existed for a very long time and is one of the oldest cultural traditions of our abyss."

"Believe me, the Fallen Revelry will definitely give the two of you an unforgettable surprise!"

Evelyn thought about it for a moment, then turned toward Caelan beside her, her gaze asking for his opinion.

Caelan, on the other hand, nodded openly and agreed at once.

If he had guessed correctly, this was likely where the other man’s true purpose lay.

Still, Caelan himself had also become interested in the Fallen Revelry. After all, a chance to experience the customs of another land through a party like this would be too much of a pity to miss.

Before that, however, there was something Caelan still wanted to clarify.

"Mr. Tycoon, may I ask when you plan to arrange our meeting with the Lord of Abyss?"

At this moment, Caelan was extremely curious about the [Invitation] in his possession.

And as for what exactly the [Umbra Club] was, he still had not heard a single concrete thing about it.

Jester Tycoon, meanwhile, froze for a moment, then replied in a somewhat strange tone,

"Lord Caelan, do you not know? This Fallen Revelry is hosted by the [Umbra Club]. In fact, the annual celebration is generally organized by the [Umbra Club]."

"As for His Majesty, the Lord of Abyss... to be honest, I am utterly unqualified to request an audience with him. I can only wait for His Majesty’s summons."

Caelan nodded, a thoughtful glint flashing through his eyes. Then he suddenly remembered something else and asked,

"Very well. There is one more thing. I would like to meet Yorick the Abyssal Gravedigger. Are you familiar with him?"

The reason Caelan asked about Yorick was because when he had found the successor of [Divine], he had practically been on the verge of obtaining the [Holy Trident]—only for the whole perfect situation to be ruined by Yorick.

So one of Caelan’s purposes in coming to the abyss was to find Yorick and demand an explanation.

If the man’s attitude was acceptable, Caelan might consider letting him off.

Otherwise, he would let Yorick witness the charm of art—or have him taste the torments of hell.

Jester Tycoon seemed to perceive the faint hostility in Caelan’s tone toward Yorick, so he shook his head without hesitation and said,

"My deepest apologies, Lord Caelan. I am merely a small-time merchant. Whether it is the great Lord of Abyss or those exalted rulers, none of them are figures a nobody like me could ever come into contact with."

"So even if you keep asking me such things, it is meaningless."

Caelan nodded. Just then, Evelyn suddenly spoke from the side.

"Oh, right—Lord Tycoon, do you know what level of power your Lord of Abyss has actually reached?"

Jester Tycoon paused in surprise, then an odd expression appeared on his face.

After a moment of silence, he finally said somewhat unwillingly,

"I do not know the specifics either. But I imagine he must be a supreme and unparalleled existence."

Evelyn frowned.

In fact, this question had been asked on behalf of Supreme Staff, yet Jester Tycoon had only given a vague and generalized answer, which left her very dissatisfied.

Meanwhile, Caelan suddenly frowned as well, and his voice turned slightly cold as he said,

"Tycoon, we treat you as a friend. I think friends ought to be more honest with each other, shouldn’t they?"

"Just like your strength—though you are only at a mere 9-star level, just a minor figure, I still showed you respect, didn’t I?"
