Chapter 101: Let's eat a roast suckling pig after practicing

Artoria is a strict person, and she is not very good at being a teacher, she only lets Charles experience what martial arts are.

What Charles lacks at this time is the process of transforming the skills in his mind into his own strength, although the queen stuffed him with a bunch of various martial arts, but he is inexperienced and he doesn't know which ones are suitable for him.

Just like athletes, in the same sport, athletes with different physical conditions and different personalities have different technical and tactical characteristics.

At the same time, facing different goals in different environments also requires different means to deal with them.

In many fields, the right fit is best.

Charles has deeply felt that this world is a world of competition for gold fingers. Whoever has a good gold finger and who is skilled in his gold finger will be able to achieve the greatest advantage.

What Artoria possesses is powerful martial arts and rich combat experience. Although she has been sitting in the office for three hundred years, she is not unfamiliar with her martial arts.

When she picked up the long sword, Charles, who was facing the world's top level of combat power for the first time, felt her whole body tremble with excitement.

He was then slashed five meters away by Artoria's sword.

"You can't be in such a state of mind. Artoria said to Charles, "Being too excited in battle can affect judgment and reduce perception of the surrounding environment. โ€

And if you are too calm, you will hesitate because of excessive calculation, and if you hesitate, you will lose. โ€

"In a fight, the best state is to be a little bit more excited than usual. โ€

Charles, who was as good as a stream, stood up and began to relax his body and mind.

He took a few deep breaths, then injected 100% of his muscles into his body, held them for ten seconds, and then relaxed. After repeating this three times, his body and spirit, which had become tense from excitement, began to ease.

"Come on. Charles raised his wooden sword and attacked Artoria.

Artoria also reduced her strength to slightly stronger than Charles's, and then launched a counterattack against him.

When Sunset had just climbed into the sky, Artoria, armed with an ordinary steel sword, said to Charles, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, "That's all for today, don't let Lady Verry wait for us to go back and have dinner." โ€

Because they wanted to train Charles's skills in battle, the wooden swords in their hands broke because they couldn't support their strength, so they simply used ordinary long swords to practice. Anyway, Charles can't cut Artoria, and Artoria can control her strength without hurting Charles.

When the two of them passed by the place where Lancelot had practiced just now, they happened to see him finish practicing his last few thrusts, and then drag his tired body to drive the pig towards the village.

Pigs were still herded in the early days, with swine herders like Lancelot herding them into the woods every morning to fetch them for food, and then driving them back in the evening. At the time of the first snowfall, the pigs will be killed when they reach a certain weight. The offal is then eaten fresh, and the pork is used to make shelf-stable meat products such as bacon and sausages.

"He practiced a few spurts quite standardly. Charles said to Artoria.

Artoria let out an "um" and asked, "What, are you going to recruit him under your command?"

"No," Charles shook his head, "I just thought he practiced hard, so I decided to help him." โ€

Artoria smiled, "Is this a resonance?"

Charles shrugged, "Interest. โ€

Not long after the two of them left the village, a group of people walked in front of them.

The team of nearly twenty men and women, young and old, had in common unkempt, ragged, glazed eyes, and each wore a metal ring around his neck.

They walked lifelessly along the road with their tools in hand, and not a single one spoke, and no sound came from it except for footsteps.

When an overseer-looking man behind them saw Charles and Artoria, he hurriedly brandished his whip and drove them through the place so as not to get in the way.

These men silently endured the pain of the whip on their bodies, and quickened their pace to move forward.

As the men walked by, the overseer had a flattering look on his face and let Charles pass them through.

Charles led Artoria back to the palatial "Hanging Gardens".

Maybe it's because Donio, who has been away all the time, came home, and tonight's dinner was hearty.

A roast suckling pig with fruit in its mouth lies in the middle of the table, surrounded by a circle of also roasted fruit.

In the absence of spices, slicing different fruits and applying them to the meat like a mask as spices, and then roasting the meat with fire magic instead of charcoal to make it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and allowing the fruity aroma to seep into the meat, is a unique skill of Toneo in the caravan. Now it seems that this is a family recipe.

The roast pig has been cut into even pieces, but still assembled into a complete shape.

Mrs. Verry, as the hostess, is serving the dishes for everyone.

As King Barnet I had already left in the afternoon, Mrs. Verry gave the first dish to her son.

(โยดฯ‰`โ)ใฅ(ยฐโš‡ยฐ)

Knowing that a son is like a mother, Mrs. Verry gave him her son's favorite pig face with a clip.

In the dishes served to Charles and Artoria, Mrs. Verry showed her artistic accomplishments.

The round silver plate is surrounded by a circle of roasted fruit slices of lace, neatly cut roast pork arranged in three rings, and in the center is the frozen tofu that is placed inside the pig body when roasting the pig and soaked up pork fat.

The bones of the roast pig have long been removed, and the crispy skin of the pig is full of tender fat and lean pork.

From the taste, it can be seen that this pig is specially raised, unlike those pigs raised by Lancelot, which taste fishy.

The fruity aroma has penetrated into the pork, and the sweet and sour flavor is very appetizing, adding a rare flavor to the crispy and delicious pork rind and tender and juicy pork.

Roasted with suckling pig, the slices of fruit that absorb the pork fat appear crystal clear, and the holes of the frozen tofu are filled with fat, and their presence adds a lot of color to the dish.

Charles, the platter of roast meats, was eaten three times in a row before he stopped, so much so that Mrs. Verry smiled and gave up her intention of chatting with him.

Artoria, on the other hand, behaved with restraint, she had never eaten much when she was out as a guest, and she had eaten only the daily portions of an ordinary knight for dinner today.
