"Brother, you have to bring this. Ah, that one should be brought with you, you can't put it in the group of robbers who are cheap at home. Lavis jumped up and down in the room like a lively elf, since Acoste told Lavis about that matter, the little girl did not show any special expression, but she worked harder to clean up the things in the house, like all the pots and pans into the cloth bag, to use the words in that memory to describe her behavior at the moment, to fight for not a penny to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Okay, Lavis is enough, these things are not your back, and any more will affect the weight of the horse!" Yacoste saw that Lavis didn't stop at all, and didn't care that the little girl was taken out of the door and thrown on the saddle, although he was carrying a large bag of things on his back, although it was heavy, his 16-point physique was still strong enough, and it didn't prevent him from making movements, Yacoste stretched out his foot and kicked on the stirrup, turned over and came behind Lavis, kicked the horse's stomach and drove the horse to the gate of Tuk Town.

"What's wrong with my brother in the town today, why doesn't anyone come out to do business!" When Acoste drove Lavis through the streets, Lavis saw the desolate streets and raised his little head to ask Acoste, Acoste was also relatively speechless for a while, the impact of the war has spread, the townspeople of Tuke Town have long smelled the uneasiness, except for a few small temples in the town that are still open for business as usual, the other shops have closed their doors, and there are not even pedestrians on the streets, which is almost like a haunted.

This oppressive atmosphere made Acoste himself very uncomfortable, and he accelerated through the town, and the old mercenaries in Livingston were already waiting at the gate of the town, but Acoste noticed that their faces were very ugly, and it seemed that something bad had happened.

"We sent little Wharton to look at Baron Wells' castle again, it has been breached, and they, the people in the castle, want to be all dead." Livingston saw Lavis and hesitated to tell Acoste what had happened. "And little Wharton said that he saw not only Buckley's private soldiers in the castle, but also the gnolls and ogres!"

"......" Acoste was silent for a while, but it was not too unexpected for the nobleman's private soldiers to do such a thing. Since the jackals and ogres have an extra character in them, it already means that they are not complete beasts, most of them can speak a sentence or two, and understand most of the lingua franca, since they can speak, it means that they can communicate, and being able to communicate means that they can cooperate. Many nobles will try their best to recruit those races when they fight, just like Wells recruits mercenaries with warrior professions with a lot of money, except that one can be understood by ordinary people, and the other will be rejected by others.

"Let's go, get out of here." Acoste took one last look at Tuketown, turned to Livingston and said, and the group rode in the direction of the north.

The group had already agreed on a route before they set out, along the edge of the Screaming Forest, through the Karst Lake, to the town of Belgoust, and then across the plains to the central city of the Sylhatland region, the Baldur's Gate. As for what to do at Baldur's Gate, everyone hasn't discussed it yet, and it's possible that they will go their separate ways, or they may form some escorts or something, and this is being discussed over there.

The day passed quickly, and everyone encountered no difficulties along the way, although there were many wolves and jackals living in the Screaming Forest, but they generally only attacked lone adventurers or caravans, those guys were very clever, and saw that the group of five big and three thick, equipped elves but with no goods would not provoke them at all unless necessary, because if they did, they would not have suffered heavy losses and had no oil or water. That's the kind of thing that only stupid waves do.

Lavis's first time out of the house, everything outside is new to her, although her lively personality makes her look at what she finds interesting, but in front of outsiders she is always a quiet little girl, with a pair of big eyes dripping around, occasionally seeing some strange vegetation will whisper to ask Acoste, but also thanks to Acoste's memory, almost anything can be said, even occasionally some unknown things can be relied on by the knowledge of the past. The others also looked at Yacoste and Lavis with envy when they saw them talking and laughing like this, they were all a group of uncles in their 30s, but because of the turbulent profession of mercenaries and adventurers, they did not have time to form a warm family. Seeing such a cute girl at this time, a group of people had the idea of finding a girl to start a family and live a proper life.

In the evening, everyone came to the karst lake according to the predetermined plan, and the group began to work separately, feeding the horses, setting up tents, picking up branches to make fires, cooking, and there were really one or two more idlers, and they jumped into the karst lake with their sleeves up, ready to catch two fish, and add a few more dishes to dinner.

Yacoste was not too embarrassed to be idle, set up an iron pot and prepared to stew the soup, he first put a pot of water from the lake and boiled it on the bonfire, and then added a little onion and ginger to stew, and after a while saw that the heat was almost over, he dropped a piece of milky white jelly-like thing, this thing is called fat paste on the continent of Faerun, the effect is similar to the starch of the previous life, which can make the soup thicker and thicker, when the fat paste melts in the water, a rich aroma suddenly spreads, filling the entire camp. As an out-and-out gourmet, while the garrison was looting for loot, others were looking for gold and silver treasures, but he was looking for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which really allowed him to find a lot of good ingredients for cooking, after all, who would have thought that someone would steal food without stealing money.

When the soup was boiling, Acoste threw the mashed tomatoes into it along with the eggs and greens, and after sprinkling the salt and MSG, everyone could not hold it anymore, and they rushed up with their bowls to take a bite and try it. Acoste smiled and gave way to his sister's bowl first, and a group of warriors saw that the main owner was gone, and immediately fought together, and the scene was so lively.

After finishing the stall, Acoste did not rest, but went to the other side and raised a bonfire and began to roast the fish, he knew that the people of this world grilled fish just to remove the scales, wash the stomach and remove the gills, and then roast it directly, and when it was done, it was stuffed into the belly. This is definitely the greatest disrespect for food, and tonight Acoste decided to show his hands and let the group know what real food is.

When everyone was still grabbing the soup to drink, Acoste had already grilled the 6 fish to a tender and golden brown, sprinkled with spices and salt, and the tempting taste went straight into the pores of the whole body of the foodies, and suddenly a large group of bangs all moved from the soup pot to the place where the fish was grilled. They didn't care about the heat, they just reached out and took the grilled fish off the fire, for fear that they wouldn't be able to eat it if they were too late.

Lavis couldn't help but giggle when she saw this scene, as her own sister, she was so quiet, holding the grilled fish in one hand and the vegetable soup in the other, quite proud.

Yacoste also leisurely held a string of fish to eat, the front system suddenly reminded him that he had mastered the cooking skills, and the proficiency soared from 0 to 87, usually cooking at home Yacoste has never mastered this skill, it can be seen that many things must survive in the wild to be recognized by that system.
