Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner Chapter 1077
The cook was missing.
Simon and the rest of the group searched the area around the village at dawn, but they couldn't find any trace of him.
After hearing the story, the villagers also joined the search, combing through the entire village, but there were no results even as the sun began to rise.
“Did anyone here see the cook wake up at dawn?”
At Simon's question, a humanist with a skinny build from the group raised his hand.
“Ah, yes. I saw him.”
“Could you explain?”
“Of course. I'm a light sleeper, so I woke up to a rustling sound. The cook who was sleeping next to me was walking toward the entrance. I figured he was just going to relieve himself, so I thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.”
“Do you remember what time it was?”
“Ahem, I fell asleep right away, so I don't know for sure. The window was still dark and it was quiet all around, so I think it must have been early dawn.”
Simon stroked his chin, lost in thought.
-The taste is different from what you get in the market! It's completely different! To feed us this stuff while sending a different tomato sauce to be distributed to the nobles! Are you doing this on purpose!
Thinking back now, the most likely motive for the cook to leave the village hall at dawn seemed to be to find the secret of Mahihala village's tomatoes.
