With the continuous support of Feiqi's mana, the little angel continued to shroud the potato dough with a holy light, making the already yellowed dough show a golden luster. At this time, the people standing by the pit began to secrete saliva and the sound of cooing sounded.

"No, the mana is uneven, the operation of the ritual circle is unbalanced, it is always good and bad on the other side, it is not okay to go on like this. Fei Qi thought for a moment, tightened his grip on his staff, and used a little mana to cast the Qi Elemental Rope. He was then dragged to the top of the cave by three ropes, hovering over the dough. In the constant movement, the operation of the ritual was balanced, and the initiation was finally completed.

The next key is to see the little angel of the Light, but it is now full of shyness. "That'...... That one...... No, Big Potato Dough, I'm the Atonement Confession Angel of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, and the (stupid) guy who fell out is the Atonement Confession Priest. He...... I...... What did he mean by saying, "What sins have you committed, and what do you need to confess and atone?"

Except that it was dug out of the soil, forcibly washed and stripped naked, forcibly chopped, dried, ground and ground, forcibly poured with water and kneaded and thrown into the mine, the potato dough could not think of what crime it had committed. Coincidentally, during the squeezing and accumulation process, a part of the air was stored in the large dough, and under the dual effect of the freezing circle and the atonement ritual, it was just at this time that the surface layer was squeezed and came out. "Poof~~" An embarrassing voice sounded, and the little angel of the Holy Light was so frightened that he staggered in the air.

"Hurry up and do the ceremony, I'm embarrassed to be hanged. "Feige is glad to be wearing pants instead of a robe today, otherwise he would have easily been embarrassed by his disgrace.

"Although you cannot speak, I have received the emotion of your desire to atone for sins and purification. "The Angel of Light struggled to find the words to complete all the steps required for the ritual. "Hmm...... That one...... You have not committed an unpardonable sin, much less an evil that cannot be purified and forgiven. Here, I am willing to atone for your sins in a ritual way, so let's start now!"

The light of the ritual circle lit up, lasted for a few seconds, and then quickly decayed. It's just that in just a few seconds, Feiqi's mana has almost been drained, and only one of the three qi element ropes remains, barely supporting him from falling. The Holy Light cherubs observed the ritual and then announced in a loud voice: "The ritual of atonement and confession is complete, the potato dough has been purified, praise the Goddess." ”

"Praise the Goddess!" the crowd repeated.

The moment the ritual was completed, the Angel of Light returned to the Dharma Seal at lightning speed, and hid "vigorously". Feige breathed a few breaths of relief, summoned a second rope, and reluctantly swung himself back out of the dough pit. Shanny and Beni quickly grabbed him, and they could see that Feige's legs were shaking.

"Good work. Didrite said, "Being able to preside over such a large-scale ceremony shows that you are indeed very capable. What's next, is this dough already ready to eat?"

"Of course not," Feige said startled. "This is how to eat raw, it needs to be cooked. Of course, it has been purified and no longer has the curse of the devil. ”

"Good. So how do you eat this thing and use it to make bread?"

Feiqi shook his head: "The fermentation effect of potato flour is not good, I recommend cutting a part and steaming it, pouring the gravy on it and eating it as mashed potatoes, or pressing it to make strips." How to taste better must be groped......" Feiqi's body shook a little, and Xia Ni held him with her hand. "I'm sorry, I have to rest. Eddie, do me a favor and get the potato dough down there, roast it over the fire, I'm going to fill my belly. ”

Are you hungry?, Beni touched Xia Ni lightly with her elbow, signaling that she still had jerky in her backpack to eat. Xia Ni shook her head slightly, pretending that there was nothing, and slowly helped Feige to sit down against the wall. She opened her backpack and ignored what she was eating, only bringing out a light bag of ale for Feige to drink.

Eddie descended the slope to the pool, where it was already very cold and felt close to freezing. The potato dough was already hardened, and she pulled out her dagger and cut off a piece with great difficulty. "It's so cold, will it freeze here in the future?"

"Yes, I'll have to bring a saw, or a chisel or a pickaxe to the rocks. Feige sat down, took a thin slate from his back, wiped it with his sleeve—again the sleeve—and waited for Shani to light the firewood with a flint. Obviously, this is all prepared in advance, but everyone doesn't care, as long as you know if the potato dough can be eaten.

Heat the slate to melt the grease on the surface, after which heat the potato dough and knead it into a thin layer. After one side is cooked, the other way around, and by this time the aroma has begun to spread, and it is obvious that the olfactory impression of normal food is given. Feige rolls up the dough into long wraps, then breaks a piece and puts it in his mouth.

"Huhuhu...... Hot!" Fei Qi inhaled again, and exhaled there again, and the exaggerated movements made everyone laugh shallowly. "It's quite fragrant, but the taste is too light. There is no salt and no side dishes, so it can only be eaten as a staple food. My lord, would you like something to eat?"

Although it was an inquiry, Feige directly broke a piece and reached out and handed it to Didlet. The Elven Paladin Lord saw the previous holy power, so she didn't have any worries at all, she picked it up and ate it.

"Feige, you're a picky eater, it's delicious, it's fragrant, it's easy to chew, there's no slag, and you don't feel thirsty—I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. ”

Feige gave more or less a portion to everyone present, then stuffed the rest of the big gulp into it and ate it, clapped his hands and stood up. "Eddie, take some more, and let Edmund from the Hammer Hotel think about it, doesn't he always say that he is good at cooking? I'll eat it in the next few days!"

"Can you trust Mrs. Xiong's words? The cooking skills of the Hammer Hotel are supported by his wife, and Edmund is in charge of bragging. Mayor Kelsen shook his head and said to Feige, "Can I get some potato dough back, I'd like to look into it too." ”

"Okay, I'll take some more or less today, and I won't be able to take it casually in the future, this is the property of the town. Kelson, now this pit is the equivalent of a granary, and it is temporarily guarded by Collingwood. Lord Lord, the curse of the devil potatoes can be removed in this way, so it's time to plant the potatoes next season. The size of the grain depot will continue to expand in the future, and it is best to have special people to manage and guard it. ”

Didley nodded. Food is very important, and every year the Church spends a lot of energy in this area, gradually concentrating food from all over the country to the Holy Three Castle. As a paladin of the Patriarch, Didrite has also participated in many such operations, but has never seen such a large dough scale. When the quantity reaches a certain level, even the dough can be shocking, making people feel inferior and small.

"It's a good thing, it's a great thing! Feiqi, you should report the large-scale processing of potatoes to the cardinal, it will definitely have the value of promotion!"

"My lord, this is indeed a good thing, but it is difficult for other realms to learn. Fei Qi scratched his head: "The runes of the Confession of Atonement Ritual Circle are not difficult to draw, but to combine them with the magic runes that are massively refrigerated, only I can do it at the moment." Even if you don't think about the refrigerated storage later, let's just say that this ritual is difficult to complete without the cooperation of the little angels of the Holy Light, and this is still something that only I can do. In other words, while potatoes are very profitable, they are also risky – who can guarantee that they will be purified?"

"Hmm...... This is indeed a problem. So what do you suggest? Don't report it?"

"I don't think it's better to report to the Patriarch to avoid miscalculations. Think about it, if other territories do the same, take out a lot of land to grow potatoes, and then can't purify it, then what will people eat?" Feige scratched his head: "Well, I'll continue to research and see if I can improve the whole process and make more places purify potatoes." I'll report back when I'm done. ”

"That's a safe approach. Didley nodded, and then said excitedly: "Very good, the harvest of the first half year has been put into storage, and such a large reserve is really reassuring." Eddie, you're doing a great job, do you want any reward?"

Eddie shook his head, "My lord, I'm Feiqi's butler, I just follow his instructions, and I don't have anything to reward." ”

"Yes, I didn't think it through. So, as a lord, I'll give you an elven weapon. Do you prefer a dagger or a rapier? I see you have a dagger with you, so it's still a dagger. A high-quality weapon from Elven Island, the best of the same weight, no other race can match. ”

"It's true, take it. Fei Qi nodded: "Lord Lord, if there is nothing else, I want to apply to take a rest, it is really tiring to preside over this ceremony." ”

"Go, go, I'll look at the big dough here for a while. ”

Casting spells is tiring, but it only affects the casting of spells, and it doesn't make Feige's muscles sore, his body tired, and even standing and walking problems. His previous performance had some elements of performance, but as long as the work of purifying the potatoes was successfully completed and everyone could accept the food with confidence, then this performance was not too much.

Leaving the pit and walking back to the town, Feige immediately stopped having a sore waist and legs, and it was not difficult to go uphill and downhill in one breath. "My lord, since you're fine, can you please carry the dough?"

Feige said heck, reached out and took the noodle pocket from Eddie, and gave it to Beni. Seeing this, Eddie shook his head: "My lord, you really will find someone to do the work for you." ”

"I try to use everyone's strengths, Beni's strength is greater than mine, this bag of frozen dough is not a problem for her, is it?"

Beni nodded: "Don't worry, Eddie, it's just a small thing. This bag is cool, and it's quite comfortable to carry!My lord, shall we eat this thing for the next few days?"

"Yes, not only to eat, but also to eat with great fanfare so that everyone can see it. The territory has sufficient food reserves, which greatly boosts people's confidence. ”

Eddie nodded. At the moment when the purification ritual was completed, a large stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. With more than 200 tons of frozen dough as a base, there will be no problems with the economy of Minas Ishir. And this is still the first half of the year, and theoretically the potatoes can be harvested again, so it would be even better. Coupled with the confidence that the purification will be successful, she can further the planting work and believe that the harvest will improve again.

"Ah, by the way, sir, don't make a mistake about it. Eddie suddenly patted his head: "One percent of the large dough in the pit belongs to us, and the remaining ninety percent belongs to Lord Didrite—this is the proceeds of our mill." ”

"yes, I almost forgot about it. Did you tell Didlet?"

After all, the cost of buying and using the mill is all paid by us, and our mill can only grind devil potatoes from now on, which is already a big sacrifice, and it should be included in the cost. Anyway, the lord agreed that we should take possession of it. ”

"And how much can we earn?" Feige scratched his head.

"I should only be able to earn a little bit this time, after all, I have to count the cost of the mill, and I will have to calculate the specifics - but next time I will earn more!, my lord, this is your first real income since you were exiled!"

Is the first real income so miserable? Feige touched his chin and thought about it. The soul was sent to hell and changed several lives, although these are incomes, but none of them can be calculated on the surface; during the period when he was a monster hunter in the Ice Peak Fortress, he did not have any mission to hunt monsters, so he had no monetary income, only to be fed; the cardinal even slammed the door, and he called himself to carry out the task without giving any money.

"Wait, I won the championship of the martial arts competition, isn't there a bonus?"

"The prize money was used to pay for the cost of modifying Bennie's full-body armor, so there was nothing left. The main thing is that the prize money of the tournament is not high in the first place, and it does not even cover the cost. Xia Ni sighed: "In terms of bonuses, the cardinal is not as good as several surrounding countries. Throughout the competition, we made some money by betting on the championship. ”

"Thankfully, the potato mill is a good investment and will continue to generate income in the future. Eddie covered his mouth and secretly laughed twice, cleared his throat under Feige's gaze, and then explained, "Roughly speaking, one-tenth of the grain tax in Minas Ishir's territory has become yours!"

Feige was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses. Indeed, this year, in order to promote potatoes, it is required that all the grain turned in must be made of potatoes. Seventy or eighty percent of the fields of Minas Ihir were planted for this, and a tenth of the harvest became Fech's because of the mill fee.

Don't forget, they haven't planted a single piece of land in the past six months, and even the investment cost of the mill has been recovered in this time. By the way, the potatoes used as seeds were still provided by the cardinal, and the cost was not counted on Feiqi's head.

"Wait, Eddie, please tell me you've left the potatoes for the next season—didn't they all grind them to flour?"

"Of course not, how could I have forgotten about such a thing. Leaving seeds in the field is a priority, and this is what every dutiful steward should do. Hee-hee, the first time I saw an adult, your really panicked expression, it looked so funny. ”

"I'll ask Benny to give you the bag of noodles!" Feige glared to scare Eddie, who feigned fear. After this bumper harvest, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, and the confidence to live for a long time was built.

"There's actually another idea if you want to make money. Feige wanted to show off in front of Eddie and re-establish the image of a foolproof "brilliance". "Potato dough can't be eaten directly, and if you can find the most convenient way to process it and convert it into a convenient food that you can really carry and eat, then it's a good business. The yield of potatoes is high, and these are enough for the people of the territory at present, and they must be used up in the next harvest. ”

Eddie clapped his hands vigorously and said happily, "That's a great idea! Well, it seems that Mrs. Canter will have to help her, and she still has a keen instinct when it comes to cooking. ”

"I don't understand why everyone says that Boss Edmund only brags, and that his wife does all the work?

"My lord, I guess you don't know where he got his nickname, right?" Eddie said with a smile, "Edmund used to be a hunter, and his skills were not very good, but he just boasted that he was very good. Once he entered the Sunset Mountains alone, and only came back half a month later, blind in one eye, but actually carrying a bear. Everyone was amazed and asked him how he hunted the bear. ”

Edmund said he had gone into the mountains to catch three long-horned deer, but was spotted by a she-bear. He realized that he would not be able to leave with the three deer on his back, so he devised a plan and gave the deer to the bear as a gesture of friendship. Then the bear shared the deer with him, got into a fight, and slept in a hole at night. That night, he ...... He got on the bear and made it so dark that he was dizzy until the next day. As a result, after leaving the hole, he stumbled and fell off a cliff, crashing into a stone and died. So he carried the bear back. ”

Feige was deeply shocked, there was such an unbelievable story!"And then, no matter how bragging it was, after all, he managed to come back with the bear, even if it was luck!"

"Yes, Edmund boasted that he was the big man who captured the bear, so he nicknamed himself the bear big. It's just ......" Eddie suddenly couldn't help laughing, covering his hands with all his might, still snorting and leaking. Feige waited patiently for her for a few moments before finally hearing what was going on.

"The bear's carcass had to be disposed of, and in order to protect the quality of the bear's skin, we found the best leatherman in town. Outcome...... And they found out that the bear was male......! So his nickname changed from Xiong Da to Xiong Tai!"

Aside from admiration, Feige couldn't think of any way to describe Edmund. If his story is true, then the bear may die of shame, and Feige can only admire it in five ways, and if the story is false, he has not even checked it along the way, and bragging is admirable enough. "And after that, he kept wearing that nickname?"

"There's no way, it's all spread, and I can't forget it if I want to. But fortunately, he used the money from the sale of the bear to build a house, build a tavern, and marry a wife. Because of his happy life, he is also used to teasing, and Mrs. Xiong's nickname continues to this day. ”

"Well, this story is legendary enough anyway, everyone deserves a wonderful life!" Feige really couldn't think of any words to sum up, so he could only say this.

The potatoes were purified and stored in the cold storage for a long time, which was a big concern for Feiqi. He can finally spare his energy to focus on other things, like a passage to hell. The matter between the fork in the road and "Master Hall" must be resolved, and Feige feels that he must be more careful and cautious, and deal with it with a more defensive attitude. Especially the hell contract they mentioned, what kind of power does this thing have, and how to operate it, you can't just listen to the "one-sided words" of those two people.

The Cardinal will definitely not have a record of this, and it is very strange how "Young Master Hall" knows. Due to memory loss, how "Master Hall" hooked up with the devil and how he fell step by step, these key information cannot be found. That's why "Feige" would love to be pardoned so he could go back to his "home" and maybe find more clues.

In this way, if you want to get information about the Hell Contract, there is only one way to get information about the Hell Contract, such as asking other demons. This does not conflict with the current plan, but it is necessary to be more careful. Since caution has become a core element, Feige has been particularly strict in implementing this spirit when designing spatial teleportation channels.

The Elven Lord is back in charge, Eddie is in charge of everything related to potatoes, and he has Shani in his daily life, so he can concentrate on magic design. Except for going to the lobby of the Real Hammer Hotel three times a day to taste "Edmund's Potato Dough Recipe", he never leaves his room and devotes himself to his work. Sometimes he writes the blackboard with chalk, sometimes he leans against the wall, his head leans on the cat stick, and he calculates in the interface of the computer.

Every three days, Feige would come out to find a place where no one was around to test the magic runes and test his ideas. This time, the design is easy to use, simple, energy-saving and other indicators are all abandoned, and only safety and stability are put first. This will certainly make the design of the circle much more difficult and large, but Feige believes that it will be worth it.

The progress of the circle is increasing little by little, and although it is not yet complete, there are already some achievements that have been born first. Through this design, Feige has made a lot of new gains in protective spells and illusion spells, and has a new understanding of the use of some runes and spells. These experiences, in turn, have improved his magic matrix, and he is constantly updating and upgrading his database of runes. Theory and practice, two things that complement each other, create a mutually reinforcing spiraling pattern, shaped like his cat-teasing staff.

He was busy with the passage circle, and the others were busy with other things. After some time, Cale arrives from the Icepeak Fortress and delivers a letter to Feige from the Holy Three Castle Priesthood.

"This raven was sent directly to the fortress. As serious, as always, Kele: "Please take a look, Lord Presiding Reverend." ”
