In the evening, in response to the approaching rainstorm week, there are occasional people passing by on the street carrying sandbags or wooden stakes, and there are special construction teams, with shovels in hand, opening roadside manhole covers to unclog the sewers.

The older generation talks about the wonders that happened during Rainstorm Week in previous years, and the younger people always talk more about the big holiday during Rainstorm Week.

Locked door for small restaurants.

A casserole was placed on the iron shelf on the table, and the toad meat was mixed with potatoes, vegetable leaves, river shrimp, chicken feet, and other materials, and some specially prepared ingredients, and the rich fragrance leaked through the crack in the door, and many people stopped at the door to look at the two men sitting inside.

Toad pot, this is a dish that Donald has worked on with Anthony Hawkins in the past few days, but toad meat is not the focus, to be exact, all the ingredients in this pot are worth a taste.

"This is the last meat, after eating this meal, there is no meat left from the meat you sent, by the way, what about your cat, why didn't you come today?"

Anthony took a piece of potato to his mouth and cooled it, swallowed it slowly, drank the wine in his glass, and poured himself and Donald another glass, while Donald across from him was shaking his head over a piece of hot toad meat.

Today, Anthony seems to be particularly eager to drink, so he cooks it, glass after glass, and it is all the higher alcohol that makes Donald a little drunk.

The two gave full play to the relationship of wine and meat friends, and almost ate together this week except for breakfast, and the relationship was much closer than the first time they met.

At least from only eating vegetables to eating while chatting, and finally to eating while drinking, the topic of conversation is also Tiannan Haibei, what to think of and what to say.

Anthony is usually a very self-disciplined person, he doesn't have many hobbies, and it seems that he reads and studies food at present, so Donald told him the dishes in his mind, and the two of them provided ideas and hands-on, and copied a lot of good things.

"Finger is at home, I just came out to ask someone to ask some questions, he is a wizard, his strength should be stronger than mine, although I haven't seen him make a move, but I have this feeling....... I can't drink it, I'm really going to get drunk if I drink it again, but it's a pity, this kind of dish should be the best to eat in autumn and winter, isn't there a rainstorm week in a few days, it's raining heavily outside, eating this thing inside, watching the people on the street, very good dining environment. ”

Donald was sure that Gonnidz was a well-kept wizard, otherwise he would not have spent much money to consult the old man, and many of his insights were often to the point for the current Donald, and he could give a lot of useful advice.

"It's good to be drunk, and it's good to forget something when you're drunk...... It's a pity, this kind of alien beast meat can't be eaten at any time, recently I have relied on your meat to strengthen the strength of my legs, but this is far from enough, if you want to be strong, you must get more alien beast meat, you have to be strong......"

Perhaps because of some drinking, Anthony's expression looked a little sad, this is the state that many people will have after drinking, and a certain emotion in their hearts for certain things will be amplified, which is also the reason why some people with poor self-control will lose their temper after drinking, such as Anthony is already very restrained.

"Donald, I'm going to go to sea the day after tomorrow, are you interested, it's an island to be discovered, about a day and a half back and forth, the time spent on the island is uncertain, when to catch the steel-clawed mole, when to return, if it goes well, it shouldn't be more than a day and a half. ”

Anthony was still glass after glass, the more others drank, the more confused they became, but he seemed to be in better spirits the more he drank, his face was gloomy, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that Donald had not seen before.

"Why do you want to go to sea these two days, the rainstorm week is coming soon, and the situation at sea is not good?"

The waves brought by the torrential rain are no joke, and if you are accidentally swept into it, people may say that it is gone.

"Just because the rainstorm week is coming soon, so I have to go, next week is the beginning of the rainstorm week, just like some creatures will have abnormal phenomena before the earthquake, next week the environment on the Osway Sea will become extremely special, some special creatures that are usually not seen at all will only appear at this time, the island I want to go to is an inner island, the resources on it are relatively rich, but this is not the key, the key is that there is a strange beast called the steel-clawed mole living on that island. ”

Holding a wine glass in one hand, the short knife when cutting vegetables appeared on Anthony's fingertips at some point, like a butterfly through flowers, flying up and down, and he didn't look at it from beginning to end, this is not to show off, but Anthony to prove the truth of what he is going to say next,

"This alien beast lives underground all year round, only a period of time before the rainstorm week will be unbearable because of the extremely low air pressure, to the ground to breathe, its two front claws are naturally extremely strong and flexible, you also saw just now, my fighting style is extremely demanding on the hands, but because my talent can not strengthen the hands, resulting in my skills can not be fully exerted, so that the combat effectiveness can only be said to be average, I recently got a recipe for cooking hand claws, which can be used to strengthen the hands,"

"You mean, let me help you?"

Donald took a sip of his drink and remained silent, waiting for Anthony to continue.

"That's right, it's not just me who knows the news, the distribution of steel-clawed moles is only a few specific islands, and there are many people who go to grab them every year, I need collaborators, you can kill this toad alone, I recognize your strength, as long as you help me catch the steel-clawed mole, if there is more than 1, I can share the recipe with you, it is definitely more effective than the cooking methods outside, it will enhance your sealing speed, I know this kind of reward may be a bit shabby, but I really can't get anything else right now." ”

At this time, Anthony lost the confidence he had when cooking, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"You're not going to give some money? Aren't you a well-known chef in high society? ”

"I'm sorry, I can't give you money, and I can't say why. ”

Anthony drank his glass again with some embarrassment, he was actually a bit of a trick when he said this, and asked people to help catch the steel-clawed mole, and the reward was actually to invite him to a meal after he was caught.

It's like finding someone we don't know much about to help us move, and then asking someone for a drink and then trying to send them away.

"That's too much, don't you want to pay for my ferry ticket until you help me pay for it?"

Donald picked up the bottle and filled it up for Anthony, smiling.

That's right, Donald agreed, not because of the steel-clawed mole, but of Anthony Hawkins.

Just from the fact that he felt embarrassed and embarrassed when he asked someone for help, Donald felt that this was a sincere person, plus he would use the meat of alien beasts to cook, the effect was very good, and he was also a very capable alien, otherwise he would not dare to go to the island to grab the steel-clawed mole from others.

Relationships between friends are often cemented by helping each other, and Donald wants to make Anthony a friend...... He needed help.

The above are external factors, in fact, there are some internal factors, that is, Donald also wants to go to sea at the moment, he already has an agile mind, and the collection of spells is almost complete, which is the time to verify the results of his recent practice.

The island Anthony said is another island that is relatively close, and it is just a good time to practice and familiarize yourself with the process and feeling of going to sea.

"I'll leave these to me, two positions, I'll prepare some things to be used on the island, one day is enough, the time to go to sea is the morning after tomorrow, and I will arrive on the island in the evening. ”

There are no words of thanks, some things are kept in mind,

"I'm going to sea for the first time, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Donald stopped his chopsticks, and he probably didn't spend more than half a day at sea in his two lives combined, let alone on the island.

"Are you seasick? If you're dizzy, you'll have to bring some oranges, and I'll just buy them." ”

Anthony's sense of humor always comes in some weird ways, and since Donald explained to him before that you just stand here and don't move, and I mean to buy a few oranges, he's always trying to use it a few times.

"Seasickness doesn't stop, I'm a wizard, and I always have that self-control. ”

"Hmm...... Can you kill people? Out of the sea, Demingham's law does not work, many times it is useless to reason, everyone likes to talk with their fists. ”

Anthony was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked,

If the dangers that may be encountered at sea are divided into 10 percent, on the undiscovered islands, the threat caused by natural factors accounts for 7 percent, and the factors account for 3 percent, because the threat from the outside world is extremely strong at this time, and most people must cooperate to ensure safety, and there is no time to intrigue.

However, when it comes to some of the discovered islands, it is a little different, what the resources are, where they are, everyone knows it, and the dangers of the outside world do not need to be too concerned, there are more monks and less porridge, at this time everyone is more concerned about if they get more benefits, and the fight is inevitable.

"The means are quite abundant. ”

Donald didn't know much about his current level of standing among the Xenopaths, so he only gave an ambiguous answer.

"That's fine. ”

When you go to sea, as long as you can guarantee your life, everything else is easy to say.

The two of them agreed on a time at the dinner table and set off the day after tomorrow, that is, this weekend, to return before the stormy week.

Donald had to reschedule his time, and he thought that Marina's class could be postponed for a week, after all, it was a holiday during Rainstorm Week, and Marina and Professor Cook lived not far from Royal Delorraine.

"I will start taking leave the day after tomorrow, and I want to go out for a while? Yes, anyway, the rainstorm week is coming, and the college will be completely closed...... None of this matters, come and listen to it, I've got a new recording of the voyage here. ”

Professor Cook was clearly more interested in the message of the recording than in the matter of Donald's leave.
