Chapter 1: A Comfortable Life
"The laid-back life is high!"
At home, Akai lay on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, not smashing it in his mouth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As always, I sat at my desk and studied magic, even after all this time, my mood has not diminished in the slightest, after all, human nature is curiosity and inquiry.
It's been a week since that monster siege battle, and we're back to normal, peaceful and serene life.
Doing nothing at home every day, after all, winter has not yet passed.
After that battle, we were cheered on by the whole city, and the aborigines' barriers to us had been completely removed, and we could receive reverent glances everywhere we went.
To be honest, this kind of vision is very useful, after all, everyone has such a thing as vanity, but it is not so good for me and Akai, maybe it is enjoyable at first, but over time it becomes more and more popular.
After all, we're still young, and it's stressful to be seen like this.
So, after receiving the king's reward, Akai and I fled out of the palace at a very fast pace.
After that, though, Akai and I couldn't leave, because in addition to the king's bounty, Akai and I had to go to the Mage Guild to get some things.
To be precise, I had to go to the Mage Guild to receive my reward.
Remembering this, I turned my attention and looked at the set of clothes on the desk in front of me.
【Archmage Set】
This is the name of the outfit, which was given to me by the president of the Aboriginal Mage Guild (again an old man).
I heard that this set of equipment was left behind by a certain archmage in the last century, and that archmage was a great power who recited [Forbidden Spell: Time Flies] together to get the world out of the eternal ice, and finally his own time disappeared with the forbidden spell.
Honorable stories, honorable ancestors.
I carefully examined the suit's properties.
The pure black mage suit, whether it is clothes or pants, even the hat and shoes are also monotonous black.
I can feel the power behind the deep colors.
【Archmage Set】
Providing defensive armor is the same as a diamond set (when wearing the set, it has 10 armor).
Repair Attrition: When the equipment is durable and damaged, it will automatically draw the mana of the person wearing it to repair it automatically.
Mana Shield: Releases the mana stored in the set to form a shield for protection, and when the stored mana is depleted, it will consume the durability of the equipment.
・・・
Powerful gear!
That's the only thing I thought after reading the message on my clothes.
The black suit is inlaid with dark blue lace, and there is no other way to bring me but mystery.
Of course, it is not excluded that this set of equipment is indeed very stylish!
I took off my robe, folded it and placed it on a chair beside me. Since it is indoors, it does not feel cold.
Putting on this [Archmage Suit] one by one, I immediately felt the rapid flow of magic in my body.
At the same time, the little magic power left in the [Archmage Suit] was suddenly like a dry river that had been injected into the water, and the magic power gradually became abundant.
"Phew, it seems that the last few days can only live this life without mana." With a sigh, I smiled helplessly.
Well, that's fine, just take a few days off and go back to the life of ordinary people.
I raised the cup on the table and took a sip.
The glass is filled with wine, but it is not the kind of liquor in the real world, but a specialty of this world.
No matter what the world, alcohol is always there, and it is the most popular drink. This world is no exception.
There are two kinds of sake in this world.
One is sweet wine, just like this cup in my hand, the so-called sweet wine is actually sugar cane wine, which has a refreshing and active effect on the body. But it's also alcohol, and it's a little stronger, so I always drink it after a little tax.
The other is beer.
The process of making beer is very cumbersome, and it is much more complicated than the simple and convenient cane wine, but unfortunately, the aborigines seem to like beer, but they are not very interested in sugar cane wine.
Barrels are necessary for sake brewing, and it is enough to pour wheat or sugar cane and water into the barrels in proportion and order, and then wait for fermentation.
Akai and I asked the owner of the castle for two barrels for a gold ingot.
As for the recipe for the wine, the owner was very kind to tell us, after all, it is not a secret.
Sugar cane wine can wait slowly by putting the cane in the barrel, so after a few days, all I drink is what I am drinking.
The beer is still fermenting.
Beer brewing is a bit tedious, first of all, the barrel is filled with water (32 barrels of water), the more water in the barrel, the more wine is brewed. Then take a set of wheat and throw it into the barrel (in fact, you can put as much as you want, but it is better to put one set of barrels at a time, and you can hold up to one set of wheat)
Then put a few hops into the barrel (3-4 are recommended), not too much, otherwise you will get poisoned wine. Hops are a bit of a tricky thing to get and are made by hybridization.
We didn't have hops, so we bought them too.
But then something suddenly occurred to me.
Isn't this a product of the industrial age?' 'suppressed the desire to complain in my heart, some of them are good to drink, and it is troublesome to pick and choose.
"Well, the taste is still too rushing, let's tax some more water, about five glasses of water for a glass of sugarcane wine."
With that, I went downstairs.
We will regularly replenish a large amount of water at home at one time, as long as it is boiled and put in the box.
Due to the rules, if you put an iron bucket containing boiling water in the box, the space will be frozen, and the heat will be saved until the next time you take it out.
So Akai and I would boil water at night when we had nothing to do.
This has to be said to be a good way to hit the soy sauce time!
The chickens in the coop had already started to breed, and we bought a lot more chickens after the war, so I expected that we would have more than 100 chickens in the early spring.
Killing chickens is also very particular, killing first and then breeding is the wrong order, breeding first and then slaughtering is the right choice, so that the number of chickens can be controlled in a stable number.
However, this does not prevent us from taking a bite to say first.
"Akai, the chicken soup is ready, hurry up and eat it."
"Oh!!" Akai's voice could be heard upstairs
―――――――― new dividing line appeared――――――――
"Chicken soup! Chicken soup! ”
As Akai and I drooled, the aroma of the chicken soup was appetizing.
A chicken doesn't have more than one meal, and it wouldn't be delicious to eat it directly, so I cooked the soup. It turns out that I made the right choice, although the chickens in this world are more unscientific than the chickens with various problems in reality, and even the chickens from birth to maturity are terrifying (?). But there was no problem at all!
There really is no problem at all!
I promise it with Akai's personality!
"Bastard! Use your own personality! ”
Ahem, the topic is far away.
"So, let's go!" Akai couldn't wait.
Outside, the snow is falling again.
Inside the house, it was steaming.
