No trip to Ebotden is complete without tasting blue cod in the middle of summer.

This was not just the ridicule and boasting of the dead Aalto Bellini, but the fact that all the nobles who visited Ebolden, and even the royal family of de Salion, recognized it.

Caught ashore in the middle of summer, the deep-sea blue cod from the deep seabed of the Misty Sea is a delicacy that can only be found on the aristocratic tables of Ebolden.

A freshly caught blue cod is washed and scaled, and then marinated with sea salt, fresh lemon juice, black peppercorns, and rosemary for two quarters of an hour until it is thoroughly flavored.

Prepare a little sifted wheat flour and sprinkle a thin layer over the marinated fish, while the frying pan is already hot, and pour in olive oil from the local olive press outside Ebolden, preferably grapeseed oil from the southern Duchy of Byrne.

In the upper class of Ebolden, the truly "floral" Byrne grapeseed oil was actually more popular, so much so that it became a new "fashion".

Once the oil is warm, it is ready to serve – complete with a salad of fresh summer vegetables, onions, red peppers, corn and fairy fruits, with a few spices to suit your taste, and an original Eberden blue cod is complete, and it is even more complete with Ebolden's local rosé wine.

The cuisine of Ebolden is not only different from the simplicity and crudeness of Lothair, but also the complexity of Sackland's cuisine – they are just as blessed with the Duchy of Byrne in the south, with an endless treasure trove of delicious ingredients that can conquer everyone's taste buds with a little packing.

At least that's what Loren thought.

The tender meat of the fish is gently cut with a dinner knife, and the extreme tenderness seems to be able to bounce off the blade, and the thick sticky sauce flows freely on the surface of the meat and drips a few drops on the pure white porcelain plate.

The first thing I touched was the elegant rosemary, mixed with the fresh smell of olive oil and seasonal vegetables—as if you could close your eyes, you could see the young girl full of youthful vitality, her hands behind her back, her eyes hiding in the flowers, blushing and drooping.

The rich sauce touches the meat one step ahead of the meat, and the silky flavor is like a flower blooming, unstoppably opening up all the taste buds, spreading the incomparable taste from the tip of the tongue to the neck and chest.

A slight stagnation, a slight exertion, but a great deal of care, to bite the silky piece of flesh off the fork without injuring oneself - to let the piece of flesh bounce off the tongue or fork.

After that, it is the "peak" of tasting - every time you chew, bite, and taste, the process is full of freshness and excitement for the first time, exciting and exciting......

Because it is the elegance and thoughtfulness that can only be brought by the bottom of the sea from the deep sea of the misty sea, which makes people indulge in endless tenderness.

The tender meat that has not yet been swallowed slides into the warm throat with the wine—and at the end, in the most graceful way, ushers in a gentle end, because it is an incomparable, ascension to heavenly happiness.

"I know it's still too pale, but ...... Unbeatable indeed!"

The black-haired wizard with an evocative expression said without hesitation of praise, his eyes closed and he shook his head slightly, as if he was still feeling the last aftertaste, and even forgot to put down the fork in his hand.

"I once ate blue cod made by the chef of the Bellini family, and it couldn't be compared to it at all – only our Ain Rand could bring out the best in Eberden blue cod!"

"How can it be so exaggerated......"

The little wizard sitting across the table blushed and bowed his head slightly, holding the moon shadow cat "Merlene" (Ariel) in his arms, and his sapphire eyes shimmered shyly.

"Exaggerated, no, no, no, no......" Loren waved his hand repeatedly, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth:

"I praise this from the bottom of my heart!"

The little wizard blushed again, and Merlin in her arms rubbed Ain's face with her little pad.

"So...... You're going to go with His Highness Brandon de Salion to the Broken Mountains of the North?"

"It seems so, if His Royal Highness doesn't change his mind—as far as I know him, it's not impossible. ”

The black-haired wizard jokingly quipped, "So it is also possible for us to turn back halfway and go to the imperial capital of Golovin, and then go to meet the great Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Eckhart II - Ulla, long live the Emperor!"

"Poof-" Ain laughed, and then gave him a blank look, "You're lying to me again, aren't you?"

"Uh...... I think it's half and half, who knows what His Highness Brandon thinks in his heart?"

Despite his nonchalant expression, Loren is well aware that Brandon de Salion, despite his seemingly unreliable appearance, loves to joke and play silly, and is good at all kinds of abnormal "whims".

But the more such people are, the more they will not regret the decisions they made.

And neither will Loren.

"But you don't need to worry, I'm not the only one who went to Broken Boundary Mountain with His Royal Highness the Prince, there are still many other entourage. The black-haired wizard shrugged.

"For example......" The little wizard squinted, a look of suspicion.

"For example, Edward, you should remember this guy, right?For example, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Fitlonai, for example, ......" Loren suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth: "Our genius alchemist, Your Excellency Ain Rand?"

The little wizard's eyes widened suddenly!

"I made you a promise, I promised you that I would never leave you behind again, and that I would keep my promise. ”

Ain's surprise made Loren laugh proudly: "Whether you want to or not, you have to go with me this time!"

"I must warn you that this is definitely not going to be a fun trip - we will face perhaps the most dangerous place in the world, and the most dangerous enemies who have destroyed the most powerful kingdom in the known world of mankind to create the Sakran Empire today. ”

"They've been silent for hundreds of years, and now we're about to set foot in their territory......"

"It's just... Kill yourself!"

The atmosphere became serious.

"That's why you need a knowledgeable, gifted genius to lead you out of your predicament and into success!"

A certain uninvited genius wizard, Isaac Grantham, sat unceremoniously between the two of them, startling the little man:

"Isaac, you're going with you too?!"

"Don't look 'what's going on' surprise, I'm the one who should be surprised, okay?"

The genius wizard glared and unceremoniously snatched the blue cod on the table: "Cooking, archery, pets...... Holy Cross Grandma, I've been with you for so long, and I haven't known you yet, Loren, a junior—seriously, Ain Rand, don't you think you've changed a little bit?"

"Even if you tell me now that you're actually a witch, there won't be any surprises in this day!"

After speaking, Isaac seemed to vent, and took a bite of the blue cod, so he didn't see Loren and the little wizard look embarrassed, and looked at each other very tacitly.

Temporarily...... It's better not to tell him.

"To put it simply, although there is an element of Isaac's initiative to request, it is also the decision of His Highness Brandon to bring him. Smiling awkwardly, Loren explained to the little wizard, "And His Highness really needs him. ”

"Why?"

"Because he needed to know all the information and details about the history of the Dragon Kingdom, the army of monsters, the Descending Evil Gods, and the fortress of Broken Mountain, Balabala, including the map north of Broken Mountain, which was recorded in the forbidden book area of the Wizard's Tower. ”

"And then ......"

"And then... I memorized them all, word for word. With a proud cold snort, Isaac Grantham, who was holding his wine glass, glanced at the two of them and slowly raised his chin:

"There should be applause here!"
