Chapter 274: Treacherous Little Shiitake Mushroom
After the chicken was eaten, Buddy's eyebrows twisted suddenly, and then subconsciously accelerated the speed of nibbling. At the same time, he didn't forget to tear off a chicken leg and quietly stuff it into the hands of his wife, who was watching behind him.
Thor gave Kratan a look, and Kratan reacted immediately and stepped forward to pick up a roast chicken.
"Come, everyone, try your hand at Chef Hawak. Kratan handed the roast chicken to the ordinary team members who were watching with their necks stretched out, and finally did not forget to tear off a chicken leg and stuff it into his mouth.
"Captain, I think this chicken is the most likely to have been poisoned, because it was just placed in the corner of the basket, obviously suspicious, let me try again. Buddy raised his hand and wiped his greasy mouth and stretched out his paw to the last roast chicken.
"Smack~" The claws were ruthlessly slapped away.
"What are you trying? It's our turn to try. The two female captains stepped forward to secure the basket and arched Buddy with their butts.
So everyone, you grab the wings, I grab the legs, even the neck and buttocks can't let go, and in the blink of an eye, only a basket is left to spin on the ground.
Saul's cheeks twitched, this roast chicken tastes like that, it's just a fresh meal, but human nature is like this, others don't have me if they don't. The key is that he found that these people don't spit out bones, these three roast chickens are very pitiful, and the real bones are gone.
"It shouldn't be poisonous, Captain!" Buddy said as he quickly chewed the minced chicken in his hand and swallowed it.
"......" Fenis held her forehead a little speechless, are we discussing whether there is poison or not?
"Okay, the deal is done, and you're in charge of everyone's meals from tomorrow. Phines decided, gave Thor a deep look, and then turned back to her tent.
Seeing that the purpose had arrived, the two of them packed up the new bunks and tents in front of them and left the camp.
As soon as the two of them left, Buddy and his wife squeezed into Finis's tent.
"Captain, I just played a lot like that, right? But to be honest, although my sword is a little old, it is no longer ordinary after I have used it for so many years. Anyway, I'm going to pick the new weapon this time, and I've wanted to change it for a long time. ”
"But this kid is a little incomprehensible, it's a strange feeling. And his skills are really good, even better than the chefs in the family back then. Buddy, who had been the captain of the Cliston family's bodyguard, smiled like a rat that had stolen oil.
"Yes. Fenis waved her hand lightly and casually agreed to Buddy's small request.
On the way, Thor swung his newly acquired long sword in his hand, but it still felt lighter, so he would use it.
"Captain, I think we seem to have lost a lot, and these things you exchanged are actually not worth anything. Kratan, who was silently following, suddenly spoke up, and recently because he had defected to Thor, he had also begun to call Thor the captain as usual.
"No, I don't think there are many of them, and they don't have enough of them for this change. Thor was a little confused.
"It's not that it's not enough, but to speed things up, the team stays light most of the time in the maze. ”
"The salt you left behind, if you get it to other tribes, these tents, clothes, weapons and so on are enough to change casually, or even multiply it several times, do you believe it or not?" Clatan pouted, obviously thinking that the deal was not worth it.
"Are there other tribes in this labyrinth?" Thor was suddenly shocked.
"Yes, after the collapse of the Dark Continent at that time, except for some civilians who ran slowly, many powerful families on the continent fled to this labyrinth. There are fourteen tribes in all, and we are only one of them, and the least numerous. ”
"These tribes were some powerful generals and nobles on the continent in those days, and one of them is said to be a descendant of the former royal family. The labyrinth was large, each level was roughly square, and the fourteen tribes marched in unison, each standing upright. ”
"Don't you notice that our ranks have always marched in an upright direction, never shifting in direction, and there are other tribes on our left and right on our side at all times, usually not too far away, not too close, and all of us marching at about the same speed with each other. ”
"Some of these tribes can forge iron tools, some can weave, and some are similar to our tribes, and they have no characteristics. ”
"After escaping Themoor's pursuit every three months and reaching the next level of a new labyrinth, the tribes stay for a few days. Not only to give their respective teams a short rest, but also to produce some items that are usually traded with various clans. ”
"Then at the beginning, the tribal teams will walk a little slower, trade what they have with other tribes in exchange for their own needs, and then reduce the weight of the team through constant exchange and consumption along the way, and gradually return to the state of traveling lightly. ”
"Almost every thirteen other tribes have more than 100 people, but salt has always been the most expensive commodity of trade. There are also tribes that can produce salt, but if the salt mines are not on their own route, the whole tribe will fall into a state of salt shortage. ”
"But each team did not dare to stop and scatter their hands to find salt, because the tribes had already experimented in the early years, and they had been hurrying all the time, and they could only barely escape the pursuit of Themoor in three months, and it can be said that every bit of time is precious. ”
"As a result, salt has always been the most expensive commodity on the road. Fat Clatan gushed a bunch of things, obviously resentful of Thor exchanging the most precious thing for a pile of rags.
Listening to Kratan's story, Thor was not too surprised, after all, the Dark Continent is so big, it is not surprising that a few more tribes have escaped into the labyrinth. Thor hadn't asked Kratan too much before, because it wasn't necessary.
At best, he was a passerby, and he came here for unknown reasons when he was promoted.
He didn't come to analyze the situation in the labyrinth and lead the crowd to destroy the other tribes. And as far as the current situation is concerned, all the tribes are fleeing in the labyrinth, and it is theoretically impossible to do any stupid thing of self-consumption within the race.
However, after listening to Kratan's words, Thor was still a little depressed,
In fact, the gain or loss of the transaction does not matter at all, the key is to think about the little shiitake mushroom exchange, and sighed sadly, she took advantage of it and sighed embarrassedly?
Obviously, he was calculated by his cheap sister, so he couldn't bear it.
This is all in this maze where birds don't, and they will be played, the dark side of human nature is really everywhere! Now that little mushroom doesn't know how to laugh at herself, Thor's face suddenly becomes as black as a fish bile.
"Then why didn't you remind me when you traded?" Thor turned his head sadly to look at Kratan, while scolding himself in his heart, he had never seen a more stupid thing in his life.
"I mean, but you stopped me then, and I looked very sure that you knew everything, so I couldn't say anything more. Kratan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't carry the black cauldron.
"What the hell am I ...... Why didn't you stop when I stopped you from eating?" Thor was speechless.
After experiencing the treachery of the little shiitake mushroom, Thor has to look back and miss the simplicity of human nature.
Unsurprisingly, the next day, when Thor arrived at the camp and fulfilled his promise to cook for the people, six new tents were erected in the camp. In addition, most of them have changed into new clothes, and some even carry bright new weapons.
Is it necessary to be so anxious? Thor was despised in his heart.
As soon as he turned his head, Thor saw that Phines little shiitake was looking at her, and she even smiled shyly at herself.
Soon, the meat that had been cut was roasted and distributed to everyone in the camp, and then there was only the sound of gnawing and chewing in the whole camp, and everyone's face appeared with a happy and contented expression.
Eat your barbecue!" Thor glanced around disdainfully, then shook his chin at Kratan. Kratan rubbed his palms excitedly, patronized Thor's iron pot on the fire, and then carefully poured the broth base into it, his expression reverent and sacred.
Only Kratan knew what Saul was going to do, and that delicacy he had only eaten once on the day Saul was in a good mood had become his only dream in life. Later, after repeated begging, Thor always said that the process was too troublesome to be done.
After placing the selected animal meat and the mushrooms, celery, and dill he had prepared one by one, and then adding the various spices in turn, Thor began to slowly pay attention to the heat, stirring the soup pot with a woodcut spoon.
Coming here alone, only a well-simmered stew of flavored dishes can soothe the dust. In today's ugly human nature, only a pot of flavorful stew can regain the beauty of the world, so Saul decided to be kind to himself today.
When the strange and rich fragrance wafted into the air with Thor's stirring, there was a sound of swallowing saliva around him, and Kratan was drooling directly, and his eyes almost fell into the pot.
Hmph~!Mortals who don't know anything, take a good look. It's okay for you to lie to me once, but that's the end of it.
Superiority is something to be found by himself, and at this moment, Saul felt that he had obviously found it.
"Captain Fenis said that there was a little problem with yesterday's transaction and wanted to ask the two of them to verify it. A female captain walked up to Thor and Kratan and extended an invitation.
Is this a confession? Is conscience finally bleeding? Thor was reserved for a moment, and led Kratan to the largest tent, and along the way Kratan reluctantly turned back, farther and farther away from his lover.
"Yesterday's transaction was fine, right? Phines looked at Thor and the others blankly.
Oh no! Thor rushed back in shock.
What's so ...... Even the pot was stolen, and Lao Tzu personally carved the spoon, who is in charge of the security? Thor looked at the bare fire, and the pot of flavored stew that had disappeared was gone, and the whole person was furious.
But today is destined to be nothing for Thor, because it is not him who is the most angry.
Kratan's hammer was in his hand, with an expression of wanting to kill everything, and his blood-red eyes swept around, and he used his gaze to drive away the living creatures within a radius of tens of meters.
The camp rummaged through three times but could not find the perpetrator or the lost property, and finally the two had to leave in disgust and grief.
When Sol and the others walked away, the smell of the camp was rising from the largest tent in the camp.
The two female captains and Phines were sweating profusely around a pot of stew, their mouths spewing hot air from time to time.
Phoenix's delicate calves dangled, how could this guy be so delicious?
