Chapter 161: Dinner
"I used to work here with a partner to investigate the ruins and find artifacts. But I haven't been able to find him lately. Hope you find him...... By the way, he also has a fish-man friend who should know his whereabouts. And if you ask him, it should be easy to get a reply. ”
After Khirem finished speaking, Mochi also received a quest prompt -
System Prompt: Accept the quest [Fishman Ergello].
Mission Description: I had a companion in Azhara named Ethoregoth, and we spent the last few years exploring the ruins of Esshara and researching artifact lore. But I've recently lost his whereabouts, and I'm in dire need of his help for a study I'm working on. It is recommended that you go to the northeast coast to find the fish-man Ergerrow, who should know the whereabouts of Aseregus.
……
It's a long-lost quest prompt. Mo Qi sighed in his heart. After a long time, Moqi was finally able to continue to level up through quests. As you level up, Moki's basic stats will be boosted, and you will be able to gain new skills that will make it easier to deal with enemies along the way. In addition to this, leveling up unlocks some system features.
The archmage was looking for Aethoregus, a relative of Belligos, and it seemed that the blue dragon was related to the artifact. Mochi asked the archmage some questions, trying to trick him, but the archmage was not easily tricked. No information was disclosed.
Unable to ask for information about the artifact, Mo Qi could only ask the blue dragon at that time. As Moqi was about to leave, Anvina suddenly asked the archmage about the curse on her.
The archmage placed his hand on Avena's forehead, "Very complex spell weaving, as well as powerful spell remnants, and spell-casting habits are completely different from those of humans and elves...... I've seen something like this, is this Naga's magic......"
"That's right, it's Naga, can you help me lift the curse?" Anvena asked.
The archmage withdrew his hand and shook his head, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it. Although I have some research on Transfiguration...... But it is also limited to the realm of ordinary human and elven spells, and the magic of the Naga is very different. ”
Hearing this, Anvena could only leave in a huff.
"Mr. Mochi, you don't blame me, do you?" After the group left the tower, Anvena asked.
"What?" Mochi didn't react to what Anvina was talking about.
"It's the idea that I want to be what I am." Anvina said.
"That's it, of course not. How do you think that? Mochi asked, puzzled.
"Because if I go back to the way I was, wouldn't Mr. Murch seem selfish if he were still a fishman? Let Mr. Mochi still look like a fishman, but he has changed back. Anvena said seriously.
"Of course not! When you return to your original form, I will change back to my original form. Moch replied confidently.
Anvina regained joy when she heard Mochi's answer, and while smiling, she also subconsciously touched the string around her neck with her hand. The ring called [Avena Touch], Anvina in the form of a fishman couldn't wear it on her finger, so Avena strung it with a cowhide rope and hung it on her chest.
Seeing that Anvena had been wearing the gift she gave her, Moqi inexplicably felt faced.
However, the atmosphere of affection between the two was soon interrupted by the weather. After leaving the tower, the weather in Azhara turned bad. The sea breeze swept the edges of ice through the treetops, and in a short time everyone's faces were covered with frost and snow. Although the body temperature is not affected much, the joints of the body are still frozen and stiff, and the walking movement becomes noticeably sluggish.
Although the snowy beach has a different feeling, and the wind and snow are floating on the rough waves, there is an indescribable grandeur and poignancy, but the slow action is still overwhelming for everyone.
"I can't stand it! If I can't find that fish-man, I'm going to freeze to death! Linda protested loudly.
"You're a dead man." Akalin said.
Linda kicked Akalin.
Moqi and Avena were also a little drowsy.
Fish organisms reduce their activity during the cold season, which lowers their metabolism. Moqi guessed that the lethargy he felt was related to the cold, and that this grogginess was not a good thing. When they encounter an emergency, they are very late to deal with it. This has to change.
However, they didn't carry much warm clothing, and it seemed that eating was the only option. Heated foods, in particular, also provide heat to the body.
The summoning time of the [Random Cooking Pot] has cooled down.
Moqi once again summoned the magical card that had brought the "Spicy Pot".
With their previous experience, the others immediately realized what Mochi was doing, and they cheered for Mochi from the bottom of their hearts—
Anvina: Show us a miracle once again, Mr. Mooch! ”
Linda: "Come on, Mochi!" ”
Akalin: "Hot and spicy food again!" Thank the Light! ”
Perhaps the Holy Light really felt the prayers of the crowd, and the iron cauldron that Moqi summoned this time was particularly huge.
Anvina: "Mr. Mochi, this is ......"
Linda: "I can feel the heat coming out!" ”
Akarin: "Can't wait! Lift the lid! ”
The four of them worked together to lift the lid of the pot, and after the fantastic white steam dissipated, there was a living person standing in the pot.
The crowd shouted, "Human?!" (Mochi: Ahhhh )”
That's right, it's a human being. And geographically, he is still a compatriot from the same country as Moqi-
【Hot Hokkien people】
Description: Cantonese famous food.
Mochi: "What the hell! Can you not be so dark! And it's also a person from one black and two provinces! ”
After letting the Hokkien people go, the crowd felt even hungrier.
Anvina: "Mr. Mooch, you've disappointed me so much! How can you show us all of Azeroth? ”
Akalin and Linda: "Agreed! ”
Mochi: "......"
Once again, Mochi lost his place in the hearts of the crowd.
Just when everyone was hungry and cold, a figure walked in the waves.
"Cluck-la
The huge figure waved its giant crab-like pincers, churning the soft sand, as if foraging.
It was a lobster man.
Along with fishmen, gnolls, boarmen, and kobolds, the lobstermen are one of the semi-civilized races of Azeroth. They have a hard shell and lobster-like eyes. Speaking of which, the fish-man and the lobster people have a lot in common, they are also species that can live on land and water, and their language, although it sounds completely different to the terrestrial races, is actually one language - the aqua language.
It's just that the lobster people have always been limited in population size, and they don't spread throughout Azeroth like the fishmen.
The main reason for the restriction is that they are so delicious.
The moment he saw the Lobster Man, Mochi knew that dinner was over.
And the poor lobster man knew no idea, and was still leisurely foraging on the shore in search of food.
A moment later—
"Stuffy!"
"Piercing!"
"Crusader Strike!"
"Flame Shock! (Ahh )”
As depicted in all of Azeroth's adventures, the greedy adventurers once again slaughtered the natives.
The tall lobster man soon turned into a red prawn in an iron pot.
People who tried shrimp meat were also full of praise for lobster human meat: "It's so delicious!" ”
"That's right, it's delicious! It's better than clams! The fishman who spoke generously tore another piece of lobster meat from the lobster man.
At first, Linda and Akalin didn't care about the arm, as they were used to Mochi and Anvena around them, and then realized that the sound was coming from a green fish-man they didn't recognize.
Resembles Mochi, but does not wear a cape.
Everyone: "Who are you?" ”
The green fish-man chewed on the meat and said, "Hello, my name is Urgero. ”
