Due to the addition of the Admiral and the Grand Sage, the route of the adventuring party has changed slightly.

As for what the two old men kept saying, Xia Yan was curious about the location of the "door" in the popular rumor, but his inner interest was more inclined to travel and discover ingredients.

Of course.

If the female treasure hunter Sarah Gerdo is a naturalist, then the 'great sage' Aldorus can be called a walking historical fossil compared to it, I am afraid that this continent of swords and magic, but wherever there is an area where humans live, there is nothing that Aldorus does not know.

So, Xia Yan took the initiative to talk to the old man from time to time on the road, and after coming and going, he became familiar with each other.

Around dusk, the crowd settled outside a piece of ancient city ruins.

Aldorus held a wooden staff and pointed to the magnificent ruins that spread far beyond the horizon, because of the years, the ruins were covered with verdant green vines, and from the gaps in the thick vines, looking at the artistic inscriptions on the bricks, even if you don't know much about ancient history, you can easily conclude that this ruins once belonged to some glorious civilization.

"Before the forest declined, this relic belonged to the High Elves who created a brilliant magical civilization." The old man of the Great Sage said so.

Xia Yan was curious to learn from the old man and trace some dusty history, although this has nothing to do with food, but if he wants to fully understand the customs of this land, he must understand a lot of basic knowledge.

"It is said that the elves were once the rulers and masters of this land? How long did their reign last? Xia Yan asked.

"About 4,000 to 1,000 years ago."

After a pause, the 'Great Sage' Aldorus sighed: "Elves are the first round of life born after the destruction of Chaos, their darlings of magic, with innate terrible magical talents, a hundred years old and still a teenager and a girl, their spell-casting ability far exceeds that of many human archmages." ”

"As for the elven civilization at its peak, how far did their magic go? They almost dominated the plane of this planet, but they were far from satisfied, so they developed some powerful and weird magic props, which can break through the plane barrier and visit the other world, but also because of the large-scale invasion and colonization of the other world, a thousand years ago, the elves who explored outward suddenly brought back a terrifying and insoluble plague......"

Referring to the terrifying plague that led to the collapse of the Elven Empire, the decline of civilization, and even the great shrinkage of land forests, the 'Great Sage' Aldorus couldn't help but be in awe in his tone.

I see......

In the past, Xia Yan's cognition of the "Canteen in Another World" only stayed in the 'cat house', and he was almost in a state of confusion about the world on the other side of the door.

"No wonder it is said that the 'door' of the 'cat house', that golden bell, is the crystallization and creation of the magical civilization of the Elven Empire."

When Xia Yan built the earthen stove with stones, and the pots and pans were washed with water from sheepskin bags, Sarah and Tatsugoro, who were in charge of going out to find ingredients, also returned.

Tatsugoro carried back a wild boar with long tusks, but unfortunately, in addition to the conspicuous fangs and size, this is an ordinary wild boar species, not a magic species.

But Sarah Geldo's harvest is intriguing.

She took out several woodland mushrooms from the sack one after another, pointed to these natural ingredients and said, "All of them are non-toxic, I can confirm it!" ”

In the wild, when there is enough meat, there is a little uncertainty about mushroom ingredients.

What's more, it's a different world full of countless possibilities.

Xia Yan frowned and swept away, none of them are recognized, the blue star terroir can give birth to strange shapes, such as 'lion's mane mushroom' and 'morel mushroom', not to mention the terroir of another world.

"Hey, this is ......"

The 'Great Sage' Aldorus suddenly used a wooden staff to pick out a relatively "ordinary" one from the mushroom pile, and said: "This is the 'Elven Mushroom', which was once the staple food cultivated and cultivated on a large scale by the Elven civilization. ”

Xia Yan secretly complained when he heard it, and sure enough, it was a group of vegetarians who didn't eat meat or milk.

"Isn't this massively cultivated, wild, and what's taboo for eating?" Xia Yan suddenly had some itchy hands, and wanted to actually cook it and taste it for himself.

The old man smiled dumbly: "There are no taboos, if you eat too much, 'toxins' will accumulate, and it will be a big deal to sleep deeply for a day or two, and these reactions are not important to the elves who live for a long time." ”

Oh, and the sleep-inducing effect, and even a faint hypnotic toxin?

Xia Yan threw this "elf mushroom" to the female treasure hunter, "Miss Sarah, I'm sorry for you, just follow this one, go pick some more, I plan to cook a pot of 'mountain flavor' and 'mountain treasure'!" ”

Mountain flavor!

Mountain treasures!

Alphonse, who was waiting for the 'admiral' who was bored on the side, immediately pricked up his ears, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.

And hear about eating.

The 'Great Sage' Aldorus suddenly stopped talking, his throat rolling up and down slightly.

Along the way, the two old guys who had not eaten the dripping grain of rice seemed to be waiting for this moment.

So the two of them stammered together, and cast a burning gaze at Xia Yan, who had moved out another special casserole.

Xia Yan could detect such a gaze.

He chuckled.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, no matter what status you have, foodies are the essential attributes buried deep in the human soul.

He has seen a lot of similar gazes.

It's not just longing.

Desire.

Desire for dissatisfaction.

Appetite and want to be satisfied!

As for why he made "mountain flavor" and "mountain delicacies", Xia Yan was not on a whim, just now when the old man explained the 'elf mushroom', the system popped up a food development task-

"'The Lost Delicacy' (1)."

"You got it from Aldorus, the 'Elven Mushroom' is a large-scale plant of the magical civilization of yesteryear."

"This ingredient is known to contain a slight 'sleeping toxin'."

"Due to the mystical advancement of your Perseverance Physique, no minor toxin can affect your health."

"Mission Requirement - Use the target ingredients to cook a delicious dish that is no less than [Premium]."

"Quest Reward - [Secret Treasure of Elven Civilization] (Ingredient Lucky Bag)."

At the bottom of the mission information, there is another line of small print:

Note that after completion, you can choose not to settle and continue to the next mission in Series 2, and the rewards will be accumulated!

Xia Yan read the information and groaned.

However, from the perspective of the 'Great Sage' and the 'Admiral', Xia Yan just took out the special casserole, sat on a relic stone, motionless, and did not respond at all to their eager eyes full of hunger.

Looked at.

Two old guys are in a hurry!

I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!
