The sun goes from east to west. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The dazzling sunlight, turning red, shone obliquely on the Hull Gorge, making the rebuilding Thunder Fortress seem to be on fire.

And the Thunder Fortress that existed in the shadows was like being swallowed up by darkness.

The natural contrast between the flames and the darkness amazes everyone.

Whether it's the Warren defenders or the steppe people.

Of course, the direction of the sighs of the two sides is definitely different.

The Warren defenders reminisced about the glory of Thunder Fortress in the past.

The steppe people are rejoicing in the destruction of the original Thunder Fortress.

"The walls need to be reinforced!"

James VIII, who stood alone under the improvised walls, muttered to himself.

Then, the brow is a frown.

As the king of Warren, even if he has been killed by Jenny. James was restrained, but James VIII was still quite capable.

He knew very well that in the current situation, he needed not only a strong fortification, but also a group of well-trained soldiers.

Instead of treating soldiers as craftsmen and farmers.

But without a strong fortification, no matter how elite the soldiers in front of them are, unless they are all elites cultivated by various schools.

Otherwise......

"There aren't enough people!"

Thinking of this, James VIII couldn't help but sigh.

However, he did not complain about the nobles who fled first, let alone the commoners who were fleeing.

Because, he knows that all this is not the fault of the other party, it is that he has not achieved a level of trust.

Thinking of the process he had committed, James VIII smiled bitterly at himself.

"Your Majesty."

An abrupt voice sounded from behind him.

James VIII subconsciously wanted to turn back.

"Please keep your current posture and forgive me for being rude!"

"I have no ill intentions, but I am here for the war in front of me - compared to the Prairie people, we are on your side, and your wizard advisor Roque has proven it!"

The voice said.

James VIII clenched his fists sharply.

He heard the threat in the other man's words.

"How's Roque?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, James VIII asked.

"Rest assured, your wizard advisor is good, we didn't hurt him...... In fact, we should be his savior! ”

The voice replied.

"A lifesaver?"

James VIII frowned.

……

The evening woods are about to enter another beginning.

The tired birds that arrive at the nest and the beasts that start to haunt are all part of this beginning.

And Serti, who had a bonfire in the middle of the woods, was independent.

After tearing open the two medicine bags in his hand, and sprinkling the medicine powder evenly around, feeling the peeping sensation of those beasts completely disappear, Selti sat down by the campfire again, waiting quietly.

There are two roast rabbits on the bonfire, and next to the campfire is a tin kettle, from which a hint of hot air and a cluster of wine smell escapes.

Celti picked up the hot wine jug, looked indifferent, as if he couldn't feel the temperature on it, twisted the lid and took a big sip.

Call!

Then, a sip of wine erupted.

A flush quickly appeared on his weather-covered face.

And in his ears, two clear footsteps sounded.

Just right!

Celti stood up, a habitual smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness Mary, Your Excellency 2567 for coming as promised!"

When I saw the two people clearly, this smile was even brighter.

Then, Selti warmly invited Mary and Qin Ran to sit by the bonfire, and handed over a roast rabbit.

"Please don't mind, I can't entertain you two with better food, it's something I found in the afternoon!"

Mary frowned as she looked at the blackened hare in front of her.

It's not that she hasn't eaten worse food, it's just that the food handed by a stranger makes the girl instinctively wary and resistant.

But to Mary's surprise, Qin Ran actually took the roast rabbit in one hand, and instead of tearing the rabbit meat, he 'broken' it, as if breaking an apple, but there was no crisp sound.

Fragrance!

A rich, spicy aroma hits the nose.

Mary watched in surprise as Qin Ran's hand was 'broken', revealing the meatballs in her stomach.

The girl didn't expect that there was anything else in the roast rabbit.

It wasn't until Qin Ran took the meatballs and handed them to her mouth that the girl blushed slightly and ate the meatballs, and suddenly, a thicker fragrance appeared on her taste buds.

Is that...... Soup!

Instinctively, the girl covered her mouth to prevent the soup from flowing out of the corners of her mouth.

But the deliciousness of the food made the girl squeak when she ate.

Some of the sparse cartilage is mixed in with the meatballs, which makes the meatballs more chewy and blends perfectly with the soup.

Be......

Sparrow meat!

The girl's eyes lit up.

On the trip to Lerdri, I ate what Qin Ran did once.

Because it's delicious, it's a memory.

Without hesitation, the girl picked up another meatball from the roast rabbit.

Qin Ran's actions had already made the girl have no worries.

But Celti on the side became suspicious.

"Your Excellency 2567, have you been to Trag Snow Mountain?"

Celti asked with a little hesitation.

"Nope."

Qin Ran said very simply.

"What about you?"

Serti gestured to the roast rabbit.

"It's a very simple cooking technique - your heat is two points off, the initial flame is too strong, and then you deliberately keep it simmering, hoping to make up for your previous mistakes, but your mistakes are more than doubled! The meatballs are taken from the sparrow meat, but the sparrow itself is not selected enough to be fat, it is just a sparrow, and some of your spices are stale ingredients, even if they are carefully preserved, some of the smells are still mixed in them, even if they are covered by wine...... The final taste is still a little worse. ”

Relying on the extraordinary level [cooking skills] that he had temporarily mastered, Qin Ran didn't taste it, just relying on smell, he deduced the entire process of Celti's cooking.

But that's not the end of it.

In Selti's surprised expression, Qin Ran continued to speak.

"There are fierce beasts and poisonous insects here, so you should have sprinkled some medicinal powders beforehand, these medicinal powders have an extremely pungent smell, even if a large part of them are against those fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but people can still smell them! Moreover, because of the direction of the wind, a little powder entered the campfire, so that the roast rabbit could not be eaten at all! Or rather...... In your opinion, is the roast rabbit a vessel in its own right? ”

"Shame on people who waste food!"

"But those who make food that must be discarded are guilty!"

As he spoke, Qin Ran looked at Serti.

Celti was completely stunned.

Qin Ran's remarks greatly surprised him.

Celti didn't expect Qin Ran to be proficient in cooking at all.

No, no!

Being able to say these words is no longer a level of mastery, but a master who has truly reached a certain level.

What's more......

Qin Ran broke his layout!

It broke his thinking for a long time before he made a layout for Mary and Qin Ran!

No way!

It must be redeemed!

Sailti thought in his heart, but at this time, Qin Ran spoke again.

"We're here as promised, please tell Mary more about her mother!"

There are no more greetings and politeness, just go straight to the point.

Falling into the ears of Selti, who was still thinking carefully, was like a long knife out of its sheath.

Boom!

Crisp and loud. (To be continued.) )
