"That's right!"

Aladdin took a deep breath of his pipe, opened his mouth and spat out a fist-shaped smoke ring, his expression was extremely rich, and he said in a deep voice: "At that time, there were twenty terrible ogres surrounding me, all of them had arms as thick as my waist, and they held such a large mace in their hands, and the fierce wind sound when they wielded it was terrifying, and if I accidentally hit my head, I would have to be smashed by them." ”

He held his pipe and reached out to the mace, and pretended to touch a cold sweat, and his voice suddenly lowered: "The situation at that time was really dangerous. I dodged desperately under their attacks, grazing the corners of my clothes several times. But thanks to Lady Luck, these sluggish big guys didn't hit me at all, and instead I slashed their thighs with my short sword. …… I found a barrel in front...... So I ran over to ......"

"This difficult battle lasted for a long time! …… Eventually, these bulky dà guys were knocked down by me one by one. …… Well. Then I left the ogre's lair in peace. ……”

I have to say that he has a very high level of storytelling.

Although he knew that he was bragging, Sauron couldn't help but find it interesting to listen to, and even Golia, who was on the side, leaned over and listened to him brag with great interest.

With the thickness of the fat on the ogre's body, it would be good that the two small short swords in his hand could cut through the fat layer.

The number of twenty ogres, minus the water, is at most four or five, probably because of their small stature, and the halfling likes to use exaggerated metaphors to describe it. Vivian on the side listened very carefully, the little girl likes to hear stories told by people, especially the halfling is about the same height as her, and it sounds very immersive. The story of the halfling is very popular among human children, as they can imagine themselves as halflings in battle.

Time passed quickly.

Probably because of the addition of a very lively halfling, he also seemed much more cheerful along the way, and from time to time he would tell Vivien stories about his past adventures. Although the content of the story is exaggerated, it can also be seen that he has indeed traveled a lot of places and met many difficult characters. Sauron couldn't tell the other party's class level, but it looked like Aladdin was a third-order wanderer or higher, and seemed to be good at trapping zuò and alchemy, as he also gave Vivien several delicate knick-knacks.

It's the kind of thing that uses alchemy and mechanism skills to make zuò.

The little girl received more and more gifts, the caravan guards gave her a lot, Golia bought her a lot, and even the bewitching woman who seemed mean to Sauron, that is, Golia's mother, gave her small gifts. Now the little girl has a special dimensional bag. It was full of gifts she had received.

In the evening.

Sauron untied the horses and let them graze while he began to prepare dinner.

Aladdin volunteered to give them a taste of the craft of a foodie who has traveled around the world. Sauron was a little nostalgic for the halfling food, and looked at Vivien's eager expression next to him, and nodded in agreement. There was a river next to the foothold, and the halfling quickly took out a few sticks from the bag, and in the blink of an eye he assembled a fishing rod, and he first set up a campfire and took out a small pot with water, and took out some mushrooms and spices.

"I picked it up in the woods today. I tasted it and it was delicious. ”

Aladdin poured a little bit of fine salt into the small packet, and then took the fishing rod and walked to the river, saying as he went, "Just wait for me a while, and when the soup is boiling, I will catch a fish." I'm a master fisherman in my hometown. ”

Vivien followed him curiously, and Goliath came to the side with great interest.

Aladdin looked at the little girl beside him and smiled, "Do you want to try?" I still have a fishing rod here! ”

"Hmm." Vivien nodded her head quickly.

So the halfling took out a few more sticks, reassembled a fishing rod, and handed it to the little girl. Vivien held the rod in her little white hands, followed Aladdin's example, hung the bait and threw it into the river.

The halfling looked back at the campfire, sat down by the river and continued to brag: "In my hometown of Shire. Fishing tournaments are held every autumn, and the first place winner can get a very good prize. Basically, as long as I'm in my hometown, I'm definitely the champion of the fishing tournament. So when the guys heard that I was going on a trip, they were immediately overjoyed and ready to win this year's fishing tournament. ”

Sauron doesn't know how many halflings he's heard brag about being the champion of a fishing tournament.

He probably won the championship of the fishing tournament, but it is difficult to say whether it is every year, and the fishing tournament is a part of the autumn festival of the halflings, and every halfling village will hold such a competition.

The halfling Aladdin was still talking about his most brilliant achievements, and most of the fish he had caught, and Vivien's fish drift had already moved, and the little girl immediately clenched the fishing rod excitedly, and whispered: "Sister Golia! Hurry up! The fish has taken the bait! ”

Goliath didn't seem to have caught much fish either, so she walked up behind her with great interest and whispered, "Don't worry, wait a while, you haven't taken the bait yet." ”

The noble Northland witch seldom prepares food herself, and if she needs to eat fish, someone will bring it as soon as possible.

"Don't rush."

Aladdin looked at this side and was immediately surprised: "Good luck little girl, slow down, it looks like a big fish." ”

Sauron is setting up a fire to prepare the grilled fish.

Vivien suddenly shouted by the river, her small body was dragged forward by the fishing rod and took two steps, and Goliath next to her immediately reached out and hugged her, and then both of them began to shout, and the halfling on the side was also shouting, saying something slow down and then pulling over a little bit or something. Sauron smiled and glanced over there, and then slowly walked over, Vivien's cute little face was flushed red, her breathing was a little messy, her hands were tightly holding a thirty-centimeter-long river fish, and she raised it in front of Sauron with a treasure expression, and said excitedly: "Brother, look! Vivien caught a big fish! ”

The fish probably weighed close to 12 pounds.

The strength of such a big river fish in the water is not small, it is not so easy to catch it, and the fishing line will break if it is not operated well, Sauron glanced at Golia next to him, and found the arc of the corner of her mouth, and immediately understood that she had used the hand of a mage, otherwise she would not be able to catch it without a little skill. (Generally, fish over 5 catties are not easy to catch.) ）

Sauron reached out and touched her little head, took the river fish and said, "Vivien is good! It's up to you today! ”

The little girl nodded happily, her little face full of joy.

She is always easily satisfied, and just a few fun little things can keep her entertained for a long time.

Sauron pulled out the dagger and broke open the belly of the fish, and Vivien was still fishing very seriously, muttering softly that the fish should be hooked quickly, I don't know if she was particularly lucky, and she actually came to the second fish immediately. On the contrary, Aladdin, who had been bragging about the record for a long time, did not take the bait, and when the little girl caught the third fish, his face was finally a little unbearable.

I saw him put down the fishing rod, jumped into the river with a pop, and saw no trace for a while, and then a head popped out, grabbed a big fish in his hand, and raised it high towards Vivian, laughing: "I caught it!" Caught! ”

The two people present were suddenly speechless.

In fact, they could not eat much, and the halfling put away the fishing rod, and when he saw that the little girl looked unsatisfied, he simply gave her another fishing rod.

Then he began to prepare dinner, taking bags of seasoning out of his pocket.

Part of it was used to boil fish soup, and the other part was used to grill fish, and Sauron even smelled a cumin-like aroma, and halflings were the best of the race, and many rare seasonings were only available in their hands. I have to say that his craftsmanship is really good, this meal should be the most delicious meal Sauron has eaten since he came to this world, Vivien ate with a bulging stomach, and Goliath also tasted a lot. It seems that his title of gourmand is not bragging, and his cooking skills are definitely masterful.

This is the third day of the trip.

Sauron meets a halfling gourmand who is heading to the mountain fortress to taste the Iron Dwarf's fiery wine.

They will walk together to Fallen Leaf City before they go their separate ways. (To be continued......)
