Lacey was stunned to see Gross coming, she wiped her hands with an old white cloth, and then glanced at Stewart.

An inquiring look.

"Gross and I will divide the pieces of meat."

"Ahh How does this work? Gross is our guest! ”

She glanced at Stewart fiercely, her tone was full of complaints, and then turned her head to look at Gross, with a gentle smile on her face, "Gross, today's dinner is smoked venison, but we have to wait a little longer......"

……

Dinner was two hours later, and in the process of splitting the venison, Stewart's skill was breathtaking—

The whole deerskin had been stripped of its entirety, the bones had been removed cleanly, and the fat, fleshy parts of the back and hind legs were stacked aside in a regular shape, and when the whole adult deer had been cut, everything looked like a work of art.

In this process, Gross is not so much a helper, but a study and non-stop worship, and the sword hero wielding a kitchen knife feels very scary no matter how you look at it.

The movement in the kitchen was not too small, and while the two men were busy with their bloody hands, the others in the living room also walked in—

The thatched house of Stewart's family was not very spacious, and when these people arrived, the already narrow space became even more cramped, and Scott and several others also had the intention to participate, but the two swordsmen of Stewart and Gross had no room for interference at all, so they had to give up.

"It should be fast, they're really skilful."

Lesie, the hostess, said to the crowd. She looked at Miss Ladia and smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in her eyes.

"Radia!"

"Huh? What's the matter? Mr. Gross. ”

The appearance of Miss Mage distracted Gross, who had just cut the minced flesh and fascia from a leg bone into a large stack of thin slices, and when he looked up and saw the figure of the girl, he suddenly shouted—

The girl's expression was a little stunned when she watched his work, and she couldn't help but ask when she heard him call her name.

"Today's dinner is smoked venison, and now it's almost time to get started, and I'll leave the fire to you."

As an inaugural mage specializing in fire, it is indeed the most suitable for her to be in charge of lighting the fire—not only can she control the temperature of the fire just right, but she can also save a lot of firewood.

Anyway, when she stayed in the Edgeton Mines and Grey Rabbit Village, Miss Mage didn't do any less of these things.

"Hmm...... Good. ”

……

On January 14th, the weather was as clear as yesterday, and when the last rays of sunlight sank into the horizon, the sunset at the junction of heaven and earth was as bright as fire, and the light from the mountains and forests reflected a charming golden halo on the branches of the trees, and the spots were dazzling. During this season, the farmers begin to plough the ridges with their hoes in preparation for the early spring planting.

Carrying a bamboo basket, Lorna pulled out some thick and tender radishes from her field, and her figure reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and was walking towards everyone.

Lacey got up and took the basket - venison was too oily, so some other vegetables to help with digestion were also essential.

She walked to the kitchen, intending to make a large pot of delicious radish soup, and looked back at Miss Guanshi's attentive appearance, and her tone was filled with emotion:

"Miss Klein is a very good wife."

Someone's ears seemed to skip a beat, but no one answered.

The venison was being smoked in the courtyard at the back of the thatched house, a flat open space of about thirty square squares, with some wooden poles for drying clothes and bedding on one side of the yard, and a large open space in the middle for tables, chairs, and necessary kitchen utensils.

Miss Mage controlled the flames, Gross, Stewart, and the others flipped the ingredients from time to time, the venison sizzled under the flames, and the shiny fat dipped out of the surface, and gradually, as the temperature rose, the bright red flesh changed color, exuding a rich aroma.

The condiment was only some inconspicuous salt, but the pure original and unpolluted wild things in front of him had already made Gross can't help but swallow his saliva secretly.

And the rest of the people are not much better.

"Delicious food, it's a bit of a wait."

Oliver said. He saw that Miss Mage was making a fire, and his face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was the reflection of the fire, or the temperature, or?

Every time Gross flipped the slices of meat, his eyes seemed to be quietly observing the girl.

Levine and Scott on the side exchanged heads and whispered.

"The boss may be on the verge of success?"

"You mean Miss Crane?"

"That's right. Look at the intimate demeanor of the two of them, a pair of dog men and women. ”

"Hey, be quiet. The boss and Miss Crane seemed to hear it, and be careful to suffer. ”

However, Cameron, who was newly added to the wolf bandits, remained silent and did not join the discussion.

Dinner soon began, and everyone feasted in a lively and noisy atmosphere.

……

By the evening of the next day, the fire in the Silver Leaf Forest had been completely controlled, and the security team of Silver Leaf Town and the Lynx Mercenary Regiment had been busy for a whole day, and the raging flames had finally weakened and extinguished little by little within a limited range.

The sun shines through the bare canopy, and at this time there are only a few scattered branches and leaves left in the tall trees in the forest, and the light of the canopy pours into the dark woodland, and the members of the security team and the mercenaries of the Bobcat mercenary group are so tired that they collapse to the ground, and they can no longer lift any spirits.

After the fire, the air was still warm and not as cold as in other places.

The mercenary David was wearing only a thin shirt, and his whole body was sticky from sweat and the like. He felt that his eyes were in a kind of stinging pain that was in tears all the time, and he reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes, and he turned his head, squinted his eyes, and sighed to the other person who was sitting on the ground next to him:

"For the sake of our hard work, the Earl may have a lot of rewards."

"I hope—"

The man's answer dragged on and was weak. Even though dozens of inaugural masters participated in this operation, the high-intensity labor of disappearing all day and twenty-four and sleepless all night was exhausting-

David looked at his outfit and suddenly asked:

"You're from the Bobcat mercenary group?"

"Hmm."

"Why, I don't think I've seen you before."

"But I know you, Mr. David."

"So, who are you?"

"Look closely at my face!"

"Uh, sorry, sorry."

Both of them had soot and black faces, their faces and bodies were full of traces of smoke and fire, and their hair was also scorched by the heat of the flames.

Stanley and the town's sheriff Peake stood side by side, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the scene in front of them.

After a short rest, they set off and headed back to Silverleaf Town.
