Chapter Twenty-Eight: For the Food
Chapter 28: No matter how much Luna is puzzled by the food, Roger still doesn't explain it to her. Perhaps, in Roger's view, there is no need for any explanation before the effect, and the facts will explain it.
Roger troughts Ina and Isis to protect Luna, with Sacco in charge of his own bodyguards. Even now that Luye City is approaching, it is still necessary to maintain a certain amount of vigilance.
Roger's caution quickly paid off, as they had a slight problem with a day's walk from Deer Field.
Ever since Luna's prompt to turn on the minimap, Roger hasn't turned it off, and early in the morning he noticed that someone was probing his brain.
"Peek-a-boo with a druid in the forest? These guys are stupid. Roger muttered to himself, looking at the two red dots on the minimap with some helplessness. Almost as soon as a red dot appeared on Roger's minimap, Sacco, the leader of the Druid Force, reported that a suspicious target had been spotted, and Roger waved Sacco to catch the two stalkers.
Sacco nodded silently with a straight face, planted Roger's flag, and walked straight into the jungle, heading in the direction of the stalker.
Roger didn't have to wait long, and Sacco returned with two captives.
Roger was preparing lunch, and without looking at the two of them, he asked Sacco to tie them to a tree.
As a member of the Great Foodie Empire, Roger certainly doesn't mind improving his food when he can, and he has added a lot of new dishes to the Druids over the years. Luna watched Roger cook with great interest, although Luna knew many of Roger's dishes, but she couldn't make them as delicious as Roger's, so Luna enjoyed the delicious food that Roger had prepared for her.
After the initial meeting with Roger, Roger was in charge of Roger's food, and she was quite confident in the food prepared for Roger. It's a pity that although Roger also likes to eat lighter dishes, he can't stand eating similar dishes every day, and soon becomes a chef.
Many people think that elves don't eat meat, which is actually a misunderstanding, just like many people think that beasts like to eat raw meat, but in fact, they are some folk rumors. Elves also eat meat, but elves have always liked to eat lighter, so many greasy meat dishes elves don't eat. In the past, when the elves went out, they usually brought some homemade dried fruits and jams, etc., and ate bread with jam and vegetable salad when they could buy bread in the town, and dried fruits when they were in the wild. The elves' special dried fruits are some of the foods like dried mangoes, which look average and don't taste very good, but they provide enough calories and nutrients to supplement the elves' needs for a meal.
Some people who are closer to the elves see that the elves only eat fruits and vegetables for three meals a day, and there is a rumor that the elves are only vegetarians. Because of this kind of rumors, humans generally believe that the elves are like herbivores and have no danger, which makes the elves more and more harmless in the eyes of humans, so the elven royal family, who are ready to recuperate, simply acquiesces to this.
In fact, the elves like to eat fish, such as venison, and the elves will also eat it, but it is usually eaten in a boiled meat slice and other ways. Nowadays, many dishes of the Terrans, such as roast suckling pig and so on, are too greasy for the elves and will cause gastrointestinal discomfort when eaten, so the elves generally rarely eat Terran food.
In addition, in fact, the people of the mercenary kingdom of the Free Federation in the southeast are very clear about the taste of the elf race, after all, the mercenary kingdom is originally a mixed place, and there are mercenaries of various races, and the elves who go out like to go to the mercenary kingdom to experience, after all, there are many foreign races there, and the elves are not conspicuous there. There are many mercenaries of various clans, and naturally some people discover the taste of the elf race, and now the major inns and taverns in Sikerd, the merchant capital of the mercenary kingdom, have a special dish: fruit pie. This pie is too sweet for mercenaries of other races, but it is quite popular with elves.
Although it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare this fruit pie, as the fruit must be fresh, it is usually prepared in various hotels and taverns. After all, whether a hotel or tavern has an elve-infested grade is completely different, and the boss who can survive in the business capital is definitely not a fool!
In addition to the elves who like to eat fish, the druids and rangers are even more meatless, after all, it is not enough to supplement enough nutrition for druids like transformation and rangers who need to travel for a long time. With the exception of some vegetarian genres, most of the druids and rangers do a good job of grilling. Druids and rangers are very good at catching wild beasts, otherwise do you think that the druids wore deerskins, bear skins, and deer heads and bear heads on their heads were bought? Being able to hunt a high-level beast on its own is one of the druids' advanced assessments. Of course, the elves have quite strict rules about hunting, and many times the druids and rangers go home empty-handed: it's not that there is no lack of prey, and there is no shortage of beasts in the Whispering Forest and the Misty Forest, but many times the druids and the rangers encounter young beasts and female beasts that cannot be caught, and then they can only rely on jerky and fruit to fill their stomachs.
But in any case, the life of the elves has never been as luxurious as that of the Terran nobles, even for the elven royal family. The standard of living of the elven nobles is actually similar to that of ordinary elven commoners, but the elven nobles have more powerful strength, which allows them to live a little better, but the circulating goods of the entire elven clan are those, at best, they can only eat one more fish when they want to.
Of course, it's different now, in order to improve his own food level, making zuò food is Roger's original goal who is familiar with the druid's ability, after all, he is a person from the big foodie empire.
Discover spices suitable for spices (by-product perfumes, poisons, and all kinds of strange potions) from the various plants in the Whispering Forest and the Misty Forest, and try a variety of edible plants (some special potions such as various poisons as by-products, several kinds of wood suitable as materials, several magical plants suitable for druids), and some fruits rich in oil to extract high-quality edible vegetable oils (some special purpose sap such as fire oil and viscose), Even making new kitchen utensils (by-products, metal tools for various purposes) and even cultivating all kinds of new magical plants (by-products such as breadfruit, street lamps, flowers, bamboo water pipes, etc.), etc., just relying on the various common sense from another world in Roger's mind, the overall living standard and military strength of the elves have been greatly improved.
And because of the by-products of Roger's research, even the Great Elder didn't know that Roger was researching a new dish except for Luna......
Who would believe that Roger, who discovered and made the best-selling specialty perfume, was actually only making the condiment? Not to mention edible plants, vegetable oils, etc., no one believes that the dragon grass cultivated by Roger is actually used as a fire source for cooking, except for Luna, who was by Roger's side from the beginning.
Luna is well aware that Roger, the inventor in everyone's eyes, is really just an obe who has made so many strange things in order to research new dishes, and is a tech nerd at best. Even the word "otaku" was actually brought by Roger......
Looking at Roger, who was concentrating on cooking for her, Luna's heart was full of happiness.
Dedicated to cooking, Roger's face is expressionless, and with all his homemade kitchen utensils in the space bar, he can make countless delicious dishes in any wild place.
In Roger's opinion, the elven race that sits on the largest forest in the continent, the Whispering Forest, and the second largest forest, the Misty Forest, is really a failure! There is no treasure mountain without knowing it!
Maybe it's because of the demonic plague, maybe it's because of the gods, or maybe it's because of the pressure of the human race, the level of the elves is extremely high, but it's useless. With the exception of the magic plants that have been passed down and have already established their effects, neither the elves nor the druids are researching new magic plants for combat. The forging technology of the elves is extremely high, and the elven equipment is famous in the mainland, but the craftsmen of the elves only know how to make good magic equipment and enchanted equipment, and there is no simple war equipment for large-scale use required by the elves to study wartime. The elven war machine elven ballista has been around for thousands of years, and it is indeed powerful, but the number is quite rare. There are no elves to study imitation elven ballistas, so far the elven ace war machine is still an elven ballista, and the magic guide cannons developed by humans and dwarves are about to become popular. Only in the Elven King City there are a few magic cannons that are "inefficient in the use of magic power" in the eyes of the elders, which were ordered to be installed by Her Royal Highness the Queen.
There are the Whispering Forest and the Misty Forest, and the elves who uphold the teachings of the goddess of nature have not made any development of the forest. The incense woods, spices, and perfumes that are extremely popular on the market are all developed by Roger, and even the great magicians of the Nine Rings Mage Tower, a large organization in the distant Northland, have sent people to purchase Roger's special incense and other products that can calm the mind without side effects.
You must know that relying on the various specialties developed by Roger, in just the past few years, the national strength of the elf race has secretly increased several times! The elven clan elders who were shocked by Roger's achievements only then woke up. It's not like the elves haven't tried it for a long time, but let's take a look at the various products of the elves: flashy aristocratic ritual magic weapons, high-end elven artworks, exquisite elven crafts and musical instruments, and all kinds of beautiful elven poetry......
It's not for nothing that the Terrans think the elves are harmless.
But now it's different, the elven elders who have found the direction are devoting themselves to all kinds of research that inherits Roger's research results for the glory of the elves, and the strength of the elves is rising!
Instead of the flashy and powerful in the past, there is a thriving scene everywhere in the elf race. And the elven royal family also accepted the submission of the Great Elder, which was actually from Roger, and still maintained its previous weakness on the outside, and accumulated strength on the outside and tight on the inside.
Now the elders have seen the hope of rising, and even the phenomenon of elves who are tempted by fallen drow elves and willing to fall is almost extinct, and there are no fools who are willing to throw themselves into the arms of the queen of spiders with hope. This is also the reason why Roger was quickly accepted by some of the enlightened elven elders, the young elves who had been constantly degraded by various temptations in the past, and it had been a long time since Roger appeared that no elves had degenerated into drow black elves.
In Roger's opinion, Drow's methods were too boring, and there was no creativity at all, and a little trick was easy enough to solve the problems that had plagued the elders for years.
Of course, none of these Rogers cared. It's just that Roger simply hopes that he and Luna and the Great Elder will live a better life, no matter how strong the rise of the elves will have on the major forces.
