"Werewolf!?" Murong Feng was slightly surprised, he didn't expect to see vampires two days ago, and today he heard rumors about werewolves again. This pair of happy enemies really appear in pairs no matter where they are!

"Your Excellency!" Bilbo Baggins said with a serious face: "If you are alone, I personally recommend that you never go to that forest!" ”

Murong Feng smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Baggins, you don't have to worry about this. You know, I came here by myself after crossing the Hengduan Mountains. There are just a few werewolves that I don't think of yet. In order to prove his strength, Murong Feng also lifted his cloak and flashed the oath and victory sword worn on his waist.

Bilbo Baggins was dumbfounded and said, "You actually crossed the Hengduan Mountains by yourself!?" Your Excellency, are you a powerful sword master? ”

"Pretty much." Murong Feng smiled and said, "Now can you tell me if there are any other paths leading to the Twilight Forest?" ”

Bilbo Baggins took a few puffs of his pipe and sighed, "Well, since you're a powerful sword master. Then I will definitely be able to go unharmed. ”

I saw him turn the map, take a closer look, and say slowly: "When I was young, I liked to run around on adventures like those little kids. No matter how dangerous it is, I have the guts to take a look. Now that I'm older, I still feel that staying at home, basking in the sun every day, and enjoying all kinds of food is the most comfortable. ”

Seeing the smile on the corner of Murong Feng's mouth, Bilbo Baggins obviously didn't believe his boasting, and couldn't help but feign anger and said, "Don't underestimate me." When I was younger, Lord Bilbo Baggins, I was praised by the Dwarven King Thorin. And give me the nickname 'Scud'! Not that I'm boasting. As long as I run on the ground, no one has ever been able to run for me! ”

"Uh-huh, I believe it, I believe it!" Murong Feng nodded again and again, following this man's words.

Bilbo Baggins snorted, pointed to the map with his hand, and said, "If Your Excellency insists on going to the Twilight Forest, then this is the only way to detour!" ”

Murong Feng looked down as his fingers slid across the map, first heading east into a forest called the Golden Oak Forest.

"This forest is called the Golden Oak Forest, and you must not deliberately destroy any trees once you enter this forest. Because these trees are alive. And deep in the forest, there is a golden oak tree king that has become a sperm. But don't worry, the king of the trees has a very gentle personality, so as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke it or deliberately destroy trees in the forest, it will not attack you. ”

Bilbo Baggins' fingers traverse the golden oak forest, turning south, over a mountain range, into a black plain.

"This is the Burning Plains, the territory of the Black Iron Dwarves." Bilbo Baggins frowned, "These Black Iron Dwarves are also known for their violent temper among all dwarven races, so if you can avoid them, try to avoid them. If you really can't avoid it, don't clash with them. Otherwise, they will hunt you down to the ends of the earth! ”

Bilbo Baggins' fingertips slid across the Burning Plains into a mountain range, and he said, "This is the Red Ridge Mountains. You'll need to carefully traverse the territory of the gnolls to reach a human town, Lakeside! It's part of the Stormblade Kingdom, but it's far from the battle lines, so it shouldn't have been touched by the war. You'll be able to enter the Twilight Forest by the river in Lakeside Town. ”

Bilbo Baggins handed the map back to Murong Feng. "The road has already told you, and it's up to you whether you can reach the Twilight Forest." If you encounter any danger on the road, don't be reckless. Safety first! ”

"Thanks, I remember, Mr. Baggins." Murong Feng got up and said goodbye: "It's time to disturb your afternoon tea, it's time for me to continue on the road." ”

"Let's not hurry up yet." Bilbo Baggins motioned to Murong Feng to wait for a while, and then ran into the hole at the bottom of his bag in three steps and two steps, and after a while, he saw him holding a big bag and giving it to Murong Feng, and said: "I don't have anything of value or self-defense here, these fruits, vegetables, cheese, bread, jerky, sausages, corn tortillas, flowers and tea, and some seasonings are all grown and made by myself." It's a gift for you to practice. ”

Murong Feng was suddenly a little flattered, and thanked, "Thank you so much for your generosity, Mr. Baggins. I'll be sure to savor these foods. ”

Bilbo Baggins laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, we hobbits love to give gifts to each other and hold all kinds of banquets. If you want to thank me, just remember to bring me some special ingredients when you come back. ”

"When it comes to special ingredients, I really have a lot of them here." Murong Feng thought about it and took out a large number of various ingredients from her bag, many of which she had collected casually along the way to fight monsters and level up, and even the ingredients of prehistoric demonic beasts and sea king beasts!

Bilbo Baggins suddenly saw a large number of various ingredients suddenly appear in front of him, and his mouth immediately opened in surprise, and then he jumped up and said excitedly: "Your Excellency Artoria, you will be my best friend of Bilbo Baggins from now on!" Then he rushed out of the courtyard dancing, pointing to his own courtyard and shouting at the villagers, "Hold a banquet immediately!" Let's thank Her Excellency Artoria for bringing us the best ingredients! ”

"Whew!!" Then the whole hamlet boiled, and all the hobbits were immersed in a sea of joy.

Bilbo Baggins ran back again and tried his best to keep Murong Feng: "Your Excellency Artoria, please be sure to stay and finish this banquet before leaving." Believe me, when it comes to cooking on this continent, we hobbits dare to say second, and absolutely no one else dares to say first! ”

"Oh, really?" Murong Feng smiled proudly, took out a large pile of dazzling kitchen utensils and seasonings from his bag, and snorted: "Unfortunately, Mr. Bilbo Baggins, my swordsmanship may only be second-rate on this continent, but when it comes to cooking, I have never served anyone!" ”

Bilbo Baggins' eyes lit up, and then he laughed and said, "That's good! Let's compare our cooking skills! Judge by my villagers, how? ”

"Good! No problem! Murong Feng has a big spoon in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. Snorted proudly.

As a citizen of a great foodie empire that has been passed down for thousands of years. Murong Feng can only be regarded as a third-rate in cooking. But he has never been afraid of anyone in front of outsiders. But when she saw the same food being cooked quickly in the hands of Bilbo Baggins, she knew that this time she was a chess opponent!

"Your Excellency Artoria, it's too late for you to admit defeat!" Bilbo Baggins turned the grill and said with a proud face: "We hobbits eat six meals a day, plus dessert in the morning, afternoon tea in the afternoon, and supper in the evening. If it's a banquet, we can party from the first day the sun rises until the sun sets the next day! ”

Murong Feng sweated a little when he heard this, but he was still unconvinced: "Cut, I see that your cooking techniques go back and forth to roast, stew, and fry." Now I will let you see the supreme magic power of my great foodie empire: the twenty-eight methods of cooking: frying, exploding, burning, stir-frying, slipping, boiling, boiling, boiling, steaming, stewing, simmering, stewing, stewing, grilling, baking, stirring, frying, collapsing, marinating, sauce, mixing, boiling, pickling, jelly, dregs, drunk, roasting, smoking. What do you think? Scared, right? ”

"Wow~Oh!!" The villagers who were watching around all felt a sense of confusion. There was a burst of exclamation in unison!

"Humph! What's the big deal about how much you know, the key is to see if what you make is good or not! Bilbo Baggins said proudly.

As the same food was cooked, Murong Feng saw that his cooking skills soared gradually, directly reaching the peak state of a senior chef, and he was only half a step away from master-level cooking. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't get over it.

At this time, seeing that Bilbo Baggins had finished another pot of mushroom stewed broth, Murong Feng glanced at it and almost dislocated his jaw, it was actually an epic delicacy of purple quality!

"Mr. Baggins, are you a Grandmaster Chef?" Murong Feng exclaimed.

Bilbo Baggins smiled proudly, scooped out a small bowl of broth and handed it to Murong Feng to taste.

Murong Feng thanked him, took a sip of the fragrant broth, and was immediately intoxicated by the fragrant delicacy and couldn't extricate himself. Until a dinging sound rings in my ears!

Bite!

[System Prompt: You tasted Bilbo Baggins's special stewed mushroom broth and understood the true meaning of food. Make your culinary skills break through! 】

Congratulations: your culinary skills have reached the master level!

——————————————

Murong Feng put down the empty bowl with a satisfied face, bowed to Bilbo Baggins, and said, "Mr. Baggins, your cooking skills are indeed better than your skills!" ”

Bilbo Baggins laughed and said, "Cooking is for fun and for yourself and your friends, not for competition." ”

"Cooking is about bringing joy to yourself and your friends, not for competition!" Murong Feng repeated the words of Bilbo Baggins, bowed again and thanked him: "Thank you for your teaching, I will definitely remember it in the future." ”

Bilbo Baggins waved his hand and said, "Since we are friends, there is no need to thank you like this." Come on, the party begins! ”

"Oh!!" The villagers, who had been impatient, immediately cheered, some went to move tables and chairs, some carried wine barrels, and some prepared various musical instruments. In a few moments, the whole village was immersed in a sea of joy.

The lively banquet lasted until late at night, and Murong Feng was really eaten. In the end, they couldn't beat the overly enthusiastic villagers, so they had to pretend to be drunk to get out.

Early the next morning.

Murong Feng bent down from a small wooden house, only to see that the village was in a mess, full of drunk villagers with their backs and forks. A few are even sleeping and eating......

Murong Feng shook his head speechlessly, and walked around the villagers lying on the ground to Bilbo Baggins's bottom of the bag, only to see Bilbo Baggins talking and laughing with an old man in gray robes in the small courtyard.

As soon as he saw Murong Feng coming, Bilbo Baggins immediately got up and greeted with a smile: "Your Excellency Artoria, come here, let me introduce you to an old friend of mine, Gandalf from Dalaran. ”

Then Bilbo Baggins introduced the old man named Gandalf: "Gandalf, this is the one I just told you about His Excellency Artoria, don't look at her young age, but a superb swordsmanship is definitely not below you. She also has great cooking, the best cooking I've ever met. ”

Murong Feng had actually noticed this gray-robed old man a long time ago, because the other party's title was a bit too scary!

【Gandalf】

Gandalf took off his pipe, stood up and made a wizarding salute to Murong Feng, and said with a smile: "Your Highness Artoria, I didn't expect to meet you here. Looks like I had a lot of luck today. Well, I have to say that you are much more beautiful than rumored to be, hehehe. ”

Murong Feng twitched the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "Hello Mr. Gandalf, I think you have misunderstood, I am just an ordinary person, not some highness." ”

Murong Feng didn't expect to meet an eighth-order wizard in this place, the key was that she couldn't guess for a while whether the other party had specially tracked her or happened to meet her here.

But neither of these seems to be pleasant encounters!

Gandalf glanced at Murong Feng's left hand on the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile: "Please don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary old man, I just came here to meet old friends I haven't seen for a while, but I'm not here to fight." ”

Bilbo Baggins looked at his old friend Gandalf, then at Murong Feng, and wondered, "Did you two know each other before?" ”

"I don't know." Murong Feng said simply.

Gandalf shrugged unconcernedly.

Bilbo Baggins beckoned, "Your Excellency Artoria come in and sit, don't stand outside." ”

Murong Feng shook his head and said, "Mr. Baggins, I'm here to thank you for your hospitality, and by the way, I'm here to say goodbye to you." I'm going to go on my way. ”

Bilbo Baggins frowned and said helplessly, "Well, Your Excellency Artoria wishes you a smooth journey. ”

Murong Feng waved goodbye to Bilbo Baggins, glanced at the gray-robed wizard who was always smiling, and then turned to leave the village.

It wasn't until Murong Feng's figure disappeared from view that the gray-robed wizard Gandalf turned to Bilbo Baggins and asked, "Bilbo, did that Highness Artoria tell you that she was going there?" ”

Bilbo Baggins sighed, "I have already persuaded her that you want to go to the Twilight Forest, telling her that there are werewolves in that forest, but she still insists on going. Alas, I told her the other way, which was to go through the golden oak grove, and I hoped she would retreat. By the way, Gandalf, why do you call her Your Highness? Is she a princess? ”

"Twilight Forest? Why did she go there? Is there something unusual about that cursed forest? Gandalf took a puff of green smoke from his pipe and replied casually, "Bilbo, her origin is very mysterious, so don't ask about it." Also, don't spread the word about her stay here, or it will cause big trouble for your village! ”

Seeing that Gandalf was speaking very seriously, Bilbo Baggins hurriedly nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Gandalf, are you passing by me this time and preparing to go north back to Dalaran?" ”

Gandalf put on his wizard's hat, picked up the wooden staff resting aside, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It was originally intended to be this way, but now it seems that it is no longer needed. I'm gone, and I'll come back to visit you later when I have time. ”

"This is leaving, huh? Sit down for a while, and when the villagers wake up, I'll give you a lively banquet." Bilbo Baggins said.

Gandalf smiled and said goodbye, "I'll wait for the banquet or something next time." Take what I just said, and warn your villagers not to reveal his whereabouts. ”

"Okay." Bilbo Baggins replied casually.

Gandalf left the village and headed east, and after walking for a few miles, he suddenly frowned, because the spiritual imprint he had quietly left on that person suddenly lost his senses!

"Hehe, what a cautious little girl!" Gandalf shook his head and laughed, and strode towards the golden oak grove. (To be continued.) )
