187. The night of the quarrel
Back at the camp by the stream, he found Takama burrowing into the woods with a hunting bow on his back.
I looked at the sky, and the Black Forest was far more dangerous at night than during the day, and many monsters were nocturnal, so there were always some unexpected dangers in the jungle at night, and even the best hunters would not want to walk through the forest late at night.
Takama's golden eyes flashed with joy when he saw me slowly coming out of the woods, and I asked him, "Why do you have to burrow into the forest so late?"
She pursed her lips slightly and pointed at me with her finger, she had never been very talkative.
"Are you looking for me?" I looked at the sky, and it seemed like I was getting back a little late.
She nodded, and saw that I was not carrying the prey in my hands, and silently carried the hunting bow, and turned and walked back with me, she was very tall, more than half a head taller than me, and she was wearing tight leather armor wrapped in plump curves, I guess she may have been a jungle hunter before, she was very adapted to life in the forest.
......
It seemed that the time when it got dark was a little earlier than yesterday, and I looked up at the sky through the dense canopy of trees by the river.
A high-pitched dragon roar resounded throughout the Black Forest, and a wyvern with huge wings swooped down into the forest in the distance through the gray clouds, spewing out a strong dragon breath into the forest.
The thick gray clouds were pierced into a huge hole, and dazzling white light shone through the clouds, and those beams of light were so bright that they shone directly on a certain part of the forest, and the whole earth trembled with an angry roar.
A black spear flew out of the forest at a gallop and shot directly into the wings of the wyvern, and the wyvern let out a miserable dragon groan, and with the black spear, fled back into the sky in a hurry, flapping its wings wildly, swinging its long tail desperately, and running along the torn clouds and into the sky.
It was a fleeting battle, and it was the first time I had seen a living wyvern so vividly from a distance, and I didn't know what kind of powerful magical beast was entrenched in the mountains and forests over there, and it would make a wyvern return injured.
In the Roland Continent, even in the primeval jungle, it is difficult to see this kind of low-level dragon with a little dragon blood in their bodies, they only have primary wisdom, and they also have the instinct of beasts in their bodies, in the eyes of the dragon clan, these flying dragons are only a little higher than the status of the earth-walking dragons, and this is only for the sake of having a pair of wings on their bodies.
Regardless, they are always dragons, with powerful bodies and free flight in the skies.
Many knights of the Grimm Empire dream of being able to have such a powerful wyvern, sign a contract with it, and become a lifelong partner.
They are revered as dragon knights......
I figured out the general location of the wooded area, which was almost the depths of the spider jungle, or a spider jungle between us.
In any case, that dangerous area must not be explored, and there are powerful demonic beasts capable of dragon hunting hidden inside.
Jumping off the huge rock to the west, I still have palpitations.
At this time, I suddenly remembered who said that the Hiero plane is a low-level plane, with countless resources in it, and anyone who explores it can make a lot of money.
And those servants scattered in the jungle don't seem to be in a good situation, at least when Le Die had an accident, there were no magic students' servants nearby who happened to appear, it stands to reason that these servants should surround each team and appear in the most dangerous places in time.
But after hundreds of servants rushed into the Black Forest, it was like a pebble falling into the sea, and it didn't even make a wave.
......
Kige spread a blanket engraved with 'Wind Gathering Demon Pattern' on the flat grass on the riverbank, meditating quietly as the clear water of the stream flowed beside her.
Dressed in a linen shirt and tight-legged bloomers, I carefully chopped a handful of vanilla leaves, took out a lemon from a magic chest, squeezed out the juice inside, and mixed the juice, whether this juice could be as thick as condensed milk, the ratio of starch and water extracted from sweet potatoes was the most important.
Takama, the lizard-maid, squatted by the stream to help me scrub my demonic leather armor and battle skirt, which was stained with the red blood of a maned beast, and some other juice from hunting the giant spider, making it difficult to clean.
It made me think that it should be extremely comfortable to be able to take a maid with me in the wilderness, and then my mind came to the image of Katarina, her long red hair flying in the wind, her graceful and feminine charming figure, her beautiful face with a hint of sweetness and charming red eyes, and her shadow became clearer and clearer in my mind.
However, this kind of treatment can only be obtained by an academy teacher like Qige who is not good at magic combat.
The cauldron was bubbling with white water on the makeshift stove, and the maned leg meat mixed with spices such as star anise and peppercorns gave off a strong smell of meat in the pot, and Hiram and Josenna gathered around the stove boredly, talking about the huge wyvern that had just broken through the clouds, and adding firewood to the stove.
These two young men from aristocratic families talked and laughed, and they didn't have any psychological pressure because of the appearance of a dragon in the sky just now, and they had to peek at Lucia around them from time to time, they were like Lucia's most loyal followers, where Lucia's people were, their eyes looked.
Lucia is practicing a very special physical technique, a bit like Indian yoga, a bit like dancing, every posture is very pleasing to the eye, a magic rune sword is quietly placed next to her, she carries this magic rune sword all the time, as Lucia said, she wants to turn this sword into a part of her body.
I wondered what Lucia's profession was, she was neither a magician nor a swordsman, and it would be a bit far-fetched to say that she was a magic swordsman. I asked her curiously, but she smiled and said, "You should treat me as a magic swordsman." ”
Uncovering the steaming cauldron, I was not afraid of the heat coming out of the boiling water in the steamer, and used two forks to fork out the leg meat that had been cut with countless flower knives inside, the huge leg meat was boiled very soft, the meat skin was glowing with a ruddy oily shiny, and it kept steaming in a square plate, and the rich aroma of meat made me become a little trance-like, as if it touched something in the depths of my memory.
I put the mixed sauce into the wok and boiled it, then sprinkled some vanilla leaf crumbs on the steamed leg meat, and then poured the condensed milk-like sauce on it, the whole leg meat became crystal clear, it looked very appetizing, the meat was cooked very badly, just use a meat knife to shave off the fascia at one end of the bone, and the steaming leg bone was directly removed by me.
Hiram and Josenna, who were squatting on the side of the fire, smelled the fragrance, quickly came over, looked at the fragrant leg meat on the plate with some surprise, and asked me curiously: "Jijia, this leg meat tastes so fragrant, it turns out that stew can be made so delicious, what is the name of this dish?"
“...... Name?" Hearing Hiram's question, he became a little distracted for a moment, and said in orc language in a daze: "Braised elbow!"
"Is this orc language? It's a strange pronunciation, but do orcs really have such exquisite cooking skills?" said Hiram in a daze, reaching out and dipping a little of the sauce on the side of the plate, and put it in his mouth to suck it, the expression on his face suddenly became very exciting.
Then he took his friend Josenner's arm and said to him with some exaggeration: "Oh my God, Josanna, come and try this stew called 'braised elbow', it's simply the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life!"
A piece of baked brown and crispy wheat cake clicks softly in the mouth, and the rich aroma of wheat grains in the scone gives people the illusion that the flour has to be sharpened so rough that the best scone can be baked.
A bowl of wild vegetable soup, crisp fresh and tender vegetable leaves floating in the wooden bowl, like an emerald green boat, the delicious soup is very clear, take a sip into the throat, those wild vegetables will rush down the soup into the throat.
Served with a side of braised elbow meat, so that it will not feel greasy when eaten, cut a piece of tender and soft mane leg meat, and melt in your mouth.
The hind legs of a whole maned beast were eaten clean by a few of us.
At the end of the meal, Kig teased and said to Lucia: "Hey, Lucia, I heard that the elves never like to eat all kinds of animal fat and fresh meat, and the only food they like to eat is fish and fruits, do you want to try the grilled fish over there?"
At this time, Lucia had a piece of elbow meat on the knife in her hand, and when she heard Kig say this, she did not hesitate to give Kig a sweet smile.
"Kige, I finally know why you ...... in the first place Captured by Giga!" Lucia said as she ate.
The last few words were vague, and Hiram and Jørsner pricked up their ears and didn't listen.
Kig raised her eyebrows, squinted like a cunning fox, and whispered to Lucia, "What did you say?"
Lucia's soul-curling blue eyes turned and the smile on her face became sweeter, but this time she tried to slow down as much as she could, so that we could all hear her words: "I mean, I finally know why you were ...... in the first place Insist on choosing Jijia to join our team!"
......
The aroma coming out of the plate drifted far away, and it seemed that even Le Die, who was squatting by the stream on the other side and thinking about things, couldn't help but wrinkle his nose slightly, and the dragon lay quietly on the pebble beach, and the huge dragon head was close to Le Die's calf, posing as if he was sleeping but not sleeping.
It seems that there is really some problem between Le Die and William, William, who is sitting with the other members of the Dragon Society, looks a little evasive when facing Le Die, and Le Die has a cold face, and the gaze in his eyes is extremely indifferent.
In fact, just now, I saw William leaning around Le Die, seemingly trying to explain something, but was choked by Le Die's questioning words, and his face turned red, so he had to sit sullenly by the campfire and join the vice president and the newcomers to the club chatting.
The atmosphere in the dragon club team gradually became warmer, but it set off Le Die, who was sitting by the stream, looking extremely lonely, and I was afraid that I hadn't even eaten dinner at this time.
Lucia saw Le Die's abnormal emotions and wanted to jump over the stream to inquire, but was stopped by Le Die's eyes.
She was still such a proud princess of the empire, her long golden hair fluttering in the evening breeze in the woods.
At this time, her complexion has recovered a lot, after all, she is already a knight who has successfully completed the first transfer, and her physique must not be too bad, and she has a certain recovery ability.
Knights have always been known for their balanced physical attributes.
A golden Crusader sword and a knight's shield loomed behind Le Die's back.
I didn't expect Le Die's 'potential' to be a holy sword and a shield, many excellent knights hope that they can have a holy sword or a blessed shield to become their own 'potential', and Le Die carries these two patterns behind him, which is what many knights dream of, which reminds me of the royal blood of Angel Boyd, maybe it is the royal blood of Angel Bold flowing in her body that she will be so good.
......
The vice president sat in front of the campfire with the newcomers of the Dragon Society, William, and a piece of roasted meat on the bonfire, and the browned pieces of meat kept dripping grease downward, and the grease fell on the charcoal fire, bursting with 'crackling' sparks.
The vice president of the Dragon Society looked very proud, he kept fiddling with the trophies in front of him, and carefully told William about the hunting process with a smile on his eyebrows, and the newcomer to the club on the side also interjected from time to time, proving that what the vice president said was true.
He was holding a string of magic gems of various colors in his hand, although they were all junior gems that were not very valuable, but at least they were all magic gems, and it was not difficult to exchange them for some magic crystals in the imperial capital.
I have to say that the ability of every member of the Dragon Society to find magic materials is far superior to that of anyone in our team.
It's something that doesn't come to life, and sometimes I put it down to luck, but if I have that kind of good fortune for a few days on end, I think it's an ability.
......
Adele walked slowly back from the Black Forest with tired steps, walked directly to the campfire, and stood there, exuding a cold killing intent, even across a stream, I could feel Adele's anger very clearly.
The dragon sleeping next to Le Die also woke up from his sleep vigilantly, raised the huge three-horned head, and looked at Adele suspiciously.
The campfire danced incessantly among several members of the Dragon Society's squad, and night replaced day.
Adele's voice was a little stern: "Who is it? Who went to the tribe of the aborigines?"
The freshman sitting by the campfire hurriedly stood up, looking bewildered.
Looking at his panicked expression, he looked confused, and it was clear that he didn't understand why the president Adele was angry.
At this time, the vice president of the Dragon Society stood up with Shi Shiran, and then coughed lightly, and then said nonchalantly: "It's me and Harry, what's wrong, is something wrong?"
Adele's eyebrows raised, "You went to that tribe and killed a lot of people, and you robbed them?"
The vice president said calmly: "This is the spoils of war we have obtained, and those natives do not want to give their wealth to me, shouldn't they be killed?"
Adele snatched the string of magic gems and slammed them to the ground before saying, "I just hope that every member of the Dragon Society can become a true warrior, plundering and slaughtering will make us lose our nature, and it will bring us endless hatred." Wouldn't it be good for us to hunt down those powerful magical beasts in the jungle and obtain precious magical materials?"
“...... Why can't those natives be our prey, at least they are richer than those monsters. The vice president still didn't think he was doing anything wrong.
Plundering the indigenous villages, slaughtering the inhabitants, snatching strong men and beautiful women, and sending them to the slave market to register as slaves, aren't these what the armies that invade this plane often do?
They can do whatever they want, so why can't we? That's why the vice president called it......
That night, there were some quarrels on the other side, and I could hear the reason for the quarrel clearly.
In fact, the cause of the conflict was that Adele discovered that her members had gone behind her back to slaughter an aboriginal village in the forest, and plundered the supplies in the village.
The murmuring stream reflected the light of the campfire in the distance, reflecting the blurred face of Le Die, and she sat quietly on the big stone by the stream, thinking about her thoughts alone.
During the day, after a hard battle, I got into the sleeping bag early, ready to take a good rest, and recover my strength as soon as possible, but my heart suddenly became very restless, and I couldn't sleep peacefully, and a crisis quietly came to my heart.
