Koto was a little flustered, and although he didn't know what was there to panic about, he was sure of one thing.

That's what she just said, right?

She must have heard it!

A professional warrior was inexplicably distracted while performing a guard job...... Wow, such a shameful thing has been noticed by the object of his own protection.

"You... You didn't hear anything just now! So the dwarf hurriedly looked into the little girl's eyes, and emphasized to her in a panicked and serious tone, "Do you hear that, little girl?" You didn't hear anything just now! It's an illusion, an auditory halluciation that's worse than your illusion! It's powerful, but hallucinations don't exist! ”

A tongue-twister-like justification, perhaps only his hearth mother knows what he wants to express?

Bellinglith looked at him strangely, her golden ponytail tilted with her small head, her light brown eyes blinked and replied with a smile on her face, "Don't do that, Uncle Koto, I'm just a little curious all of a sudden......"

"What are you curious about? What is there to be curious about a wandering dwarf who has left the clan? The dwarf muttered, squeezing the hammer in his hand uncomfortably, lifting it diagonally and pointing at his chin, "Oh, and—don't call me uncle!" Actually, I'm still young, and the beard is just a symbol of a dwarf, just like a human can't live without a head! ”

"Humans can be without heads." The little girl retorted cleverly, "Even if it's a woman." It's rare, but I've seen it in Casey Harbor. ”

"Uh-huh...... That, that's like an elf can't be without a head! The dwarf thought for a moment and put it another way, "The dwarf can't be without a beard, or else it's like an elf without a head." ”

"Well, that's a good analogy." Bellinglith's eyes rolled in her sockets and she nodded in approval, "But then again, Koto, there's actually a question I wanted to ask when I met you. ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"Behind you—"

"Behind my back?"

"The pot." Speaking of this, the little girl's eyes followed with a lively and curious light, and her eyes couldn't help but lean over to probe there, "Is that big saucepan like a bucket your trophy?" I've heard that some warriors like to carry their enemy's belongings with them as the glory of victory. That pot is so big, could it have been used by monsters like ogres before? ”

"Hey, Xiao Meng is not a tool that ogres use to stew soup." Listening to Bellinglith talk about his pot, Koto suddenly forgot the embarrassment just now, and immediately put his interest into a new topic, "Xiao Meng is my good companion, and he has been given wisdom by the goddess of fire. ”

As he spoke, he put the hammer in his right hand back to his waist for a moment, turned halfway around with his arms, patted the dwarf girl at the large saucepan that was tied behind him with a rope and a backpack, and told the little girl the story of the dwarf and the pot, as he had done when he first met Urs and his party in the Spotted Axe Forest.

Bellingis's curiosity made her less concerned about Koto's flaws in some way, and the intelligence of the dwarves seemed to her to be less important than the fun of the story, even though she didn't really believe that a pot with a soul was presented to her eyes.

But since it's a pot......

"Can Xiao Meng stew soup?" Suddenly, Bellingis rolled her eyes in thought, and her eyes interrupted Koto's rambling words expectantly.

The dwarf closed his mouth, looked at the dwarf girl, paused in his thoughts, and then smiled heartily: "Haha, of course you can, little girl, after all, that's Xiao Meng's job!" He's a master cook, and he not only makes soups, but also teaches me how to make other snacks during my travels. ”

"You mean dim sew?!" The little girl was so overjoyed that she completely ignored the crucial question of how a speechless pot could teach the art of baking to another intelligent being.

She loves dim sum very much, whether it's gingerbread or sugar bread, the sweetness of dim sum is a taste for her, and she tried to make her own desserts a few times when she was living in Casey Harbor to study magic experiments...... It's a pity that that kind of craft is really too difficult in her opinion, she tried a few times before and had no choice but to give up, and when she was hungry, she went to the street to buy it, and she was tired of the dim sum in Hong Kong Town in a few years.

So when the little girl heard that the dwarf could make snacks, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Although Koto didn't know much about Bellingis's love for desserts, he could hear that the little girl's tone was full of some admiration and expectation for him, and then scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and smiled honestly with her mouth surrounded by a big beard...... Hey, if you want to eat, I can try to collect ingredients and show you a hand when we stop. ”

"Really?"

"The warriors of the clan do not lie to their companions."

"Would you do that, then?" The little girl hurriedly proposed, "That... Well, one of the foods I've heard of is said to be made with an oriental fruit called a peach, which is put in a confined space and soaked in a sweet juice. ”

"You mean pickling?" The dwarf reacted immediately.

"Yes, yes, pickle!" Bellinglise couldn't help but clap her hands for Koto, thinking to herself that she had met a good chef, "So you're going to make that?" Will it? ”

"No, I haven't...... But you can try. Koto told him the truth, his eyes lifted up, he stroked his beard, and then said that he was also interested in it, "It's just that we need a barrel or jar for pickling, like a barrel for winemaking, and we have to buy a barrel or jar specifically for that kind of food." As for the sweet juice, I think honey may be the trick, and the remaining question is how to buy peaches. ”

"There's always a chance to buy it, there's always going to be!" The little girl cheered optimistically, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as we are willing to do it!" ”

"Haha, that's good, I love this sentence!" The dwarf laughed and agreed, "Then let's wait until we find an opportunity to buy peaches from some of the Eastern merchants...... Well, but not now. We've got to focus on the mission now, you do your scouting work, I'll do my escort job, you know? ”

"Understood, understood."

Bellinglis nodded repeatedly, her little head imagining the peach in the honey jar, and then hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, turned her head, and walked ahead of the group with the dwarf to continue on......

The dense fog on the island showed no signs of dissipating, and the group followed the route drawn up by Urs based on Thea's Northward Pointing Technique, and were lucky enough to encounter no monsters other than a few ferocious animals.

After a meal and rest on the way, the group from the town of Rohr finally arrived at the entrance of the mountain road of Limestone Peak before dinner......
