Chapter 51: Making a Fire

When Vane and Barka entered the camp, they immediately saw the two tents that had been set up. At this time, Kalia and Walker, who had gone to look for dry firewood, had also returned. Kalia was sitting next to the unlit campfire, bracing her cheeks and watching Walker bent over as she sorted out the dry wood she had picked up. Walker seemed to be trying to light the campfire.

"Brother Vane, you're back." When he saw Vane and Barka, he immediately turned his head and stood up, shouting happily.

"Ah, yes." Vane nodded, and saw that Kalia had returned, and Vane couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, the encounter with the foraging velociraptor made Vane nervous for a while, for fear that Kalia and Walker would also encounter the velociraptors. Now that he saw Kaliya standing there intact, he was relieved.

They began into two groups, Vane and Barka went fishing, and Kalia and Walker set up their tents, and then went to the bottom of the hill to look for dry firewood, which was still relatively dry, and it was possible to find dry wood for the fire. The reason why they are distributed this way is also because Walker can't sit still, and it's too difficult for him to fish. Therefore, he and Kaliya went together to collect dry firewood and protect Kaliya by the way.

Because the four of them had no experience, they thought that this place was relatively close to Minethil Port, only less than a day's journey, and it should be relatively safe, but they didn't expect that there would be velociraptors coming here to feed, but fortunately there was no accident, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

"Huh? Didn't you say fishing? You went hunting? Kalia asked suspiciously, seeing Barka behind Vane carrying two velociraptor thighs.

"It was supposed to be fishing. I just didn't expect this velociraptor to go to the small lake to forage for food, and use me and Barka as food, and that's what you see. Vane walked inside the camp, put his fishing gear not far from the campfire, and explained to Kalia.

"Huh? It's so dangerous. So you two weren't hurt, were you? Walker was trying to light a campfire, and when he heard Vane and Kalia's words, he immediately straightened up and asked.

"It's nothing, Vane is amazing. Kill that damn beast with ease. Barka replied by placing his two swift thighs beside the campfire.

Then he walked up to Walker's side and said to Walker, "Do you want me to help you?" With arcane arts, you can easily set these dry firewood on fire. ”

"No, didn't you see that little girl from Kalia didn't come over to help?" Walker immediately rejected Barka's offer and bent down to continue his own efforts to light a campfire.

Balka pouted, and laboriously moved a stone from not far away to the campfire, watching Walker clumsily try to light it.

At this time, Vane came over to peel off the skin from the thigh of a velociraptor with a knife, and then removed the meat one by one. Prepare a campfire for a while and then barbecue. According to Vane's instructions, Kalia plucked the bark from the dead branches that had not yet dried up, and then summoned some water to wash them and use them as ingredients for the skewers.

Barka watched Walker busy for a while, and finally couldn't wait any longer, so he pointed at Walker and turned his head and asked Kalia, "Why does he have to insist on lighting the bonfire himself, wouldn't he have lit it long ago if we helped?" ”

"Walker said he had to learn how to make a fire early, or he wouldn't have been able to make a fire without us when he went out on adventures in the future. So he pushed me aside and made sure to make a fire himself. Kalia explained to Barka as she peeled the bark off the stick.

Vane heard Kalia's explanation and looked up at Walker's annoyed look, it seemed that he had long since lost faith in lighting the bonfire, but he was still insisting because he didn't want to save face. Seeing this, Vane smiled and said to Barka, "Barka, you help Walker light the bonfire." ”

"Huh? But Walker said he would light the ...... himself," Barka said to Vane for some reason, hearing Vane's command.

"It's getting late, it's time to cook. If Walker wants to practice, it's not too late to do it next time. Anyway, we're going to have to walk a long time to get to Ironforge. There are opportunities for him to practice on the way. Vane said to Barka at this point.

"Okay, I see." Barka listened to Vane's words, turned to Walker and said, "Hey, Walker, I'll help you, it's not too early now, it's time to cook." If you want to practice, you might as well wait until next time. Anyway, there are many opportunities, so don't worry too much about this time. ”

At this time, Walker had already lost confidence in the bonfire that could not be lit repeatedly, and with Barka's words, he took the opportunity to let go of the work at hand and handed over the task of lighting the campfire to Barka. Barka uses an arcane trick by placing a small flame on his hand and lighting it on top of the small flame and then using the lighted wood and down to light a bonfire.

"Oh shit, your magic is so handy. It's not fair. Walker muttered as he watched as the boy easily lit the bonfire that he had been unable to light for a long time.

"I think that's fair, Walker." Barka smiled at Walker.

Some time ago, Walker was watching him with a whip to learn and practice the use of muskets, and at that time Barka also felt very unfair, why is the dwarf so powerful, obviously his legs are about the same length as him, but he can run so fast, so that he has no way to escape. Now when he hears Walker complain about unfairness, Barka is very happy.

"Why, I haven't been able to light a bonfire all afternoon, you kid lit it all at once, obviously, it's not fair, isn't it." When Walker heard Barka's words, he immediately retorted in annoyance.

Kalia listened to the conversation between Walker and Barka and laughed with a 'poof'. She understood that Barka had been complaining about the dwarves for a while now, and that it was unfair that they were running fast. Hearing Walker's complaints now, it makes her feel that Walker looks a lot like Barka some time ago.

"Okay Walker, I'll teach you a way to light a campfire with just dry wood, and you won't even need flint." Seeing Walker muttering incessantly, Vane had no choice but to speak to Walker.

"Really? That's great. You High Elves know a lot. Walker rejoiced at Vane's assurance.

"Hey, Vane, you can't be biased." When Barka heard this, he immediately said to Vane in a hurry.

"Don't worry, you can learn too. It's just that I don't think you can use it if you learn it, after all, you don't need to do things that can be done with arcane arts, do you? Looking at Kalia on the side, she also turned her head to look at herself, and Vane said helplessly to Barka and Kaliya.
