Chapter 58: The Girl of the Ancient Tower (1)
At first, the skinny magician took the initiative to open the door to observe her.
The sentence "Who are you the master here" frightened the other party, and immediately retracted into the tower, and there was no movement. The stone tower has a perfect and sturdy defense and attack system, and without the master's acquisition, even if she is a foundation monk, she is not 100% sure of attacking it.
Besides, even the yellow paper for drawing symbols needs to be self-sufficient, and no matter how much paper symbols are in stock, it is not such a waste.
After figuring it out, Liu Ci came to her senses again, a carp jumped up from the ground, changed her skirt that was stained by the swamp quagmire, and she still had the leisure to practice the basic skills of physical arts for half an hour.
Then Liu Ci circled back to the forest, and in a short time scooped up edible mushrooms, seasoned mint leaves, and a dozen or so birds' eggs.
With these fresh ingredients in hand, she was not afraid of death and returned to the stone tower again.
Choosing an open space, Liu Ci began to build a stove.
In the morning, she cooked corn and mushroom soup and fried omeletsey for breakfast.
The quiche was filled with only a little salt and chopped mint leaves, and the scent was still blown away by the morning breeze.
The light was brighter than last night during the day, and when Liu Ci was drinking mushroom soup and biting on the egg cake, he caught a clear glimpse of a figure shaking in front of the window of the stone tower.
The other party was sensitive and timid, and he cowered in the stone tower, which reminded Liu Ci of the cobblestone beast he had dealt with. She decided to figure out how to lure the snake out of the hole.
After breakfast, she meditated and cultivated, and at noon she went to the forest to drag back a goat.
The stupid goat died on the spot, and she was afraid to frighten the already timid thin mage, so she threw away the sheep's head and hooves and internal organs from a distance, and brought back only the mutton.
Separating the goat meat and bones, the small iron pot that Liu Ci carried with him obviously had no way to remediate the ingredients, so he dug two stone pots from local materials, one deep and one shallow.
As a glutton, Liu Ci decided to be a "sheep scorpion" to eat.
The sheep scorpion is the spine beam of the sheep, and it is named because its shape resembles a "scorpion". The author of "Qi Min Yao Shu New Edition" is probably also a foodie, and the food chapter still occupies more than the whole book, Liu Ci, who originally only knew how to enjoy food, has been painting gourds in the past few years and has become a chef.
Take ten catties of sheep backbones, and two catties of leg bones with meat and chop them into pieces, blanch to remove the smell and blood stains of sheep.
Place the blanched leg bones and backbone in the bottom of the pot, add water and simmer over high heat.
Taking advantage of the fact that the water was not boiling, Liu Ci took out the spices she carried with her, such as peppercorns, herbs, grass fruits, angelica, cumin, and cinnamon, these basic spices were collected one after another in the past few years, and she sewed them with a small cloth bag before throwing them down.
Ginger slices and green onions are also indispensable, and after boiling for half an hour, the soup in the stone pot is boiling, and Liu Cicai suppresses the fire.
Then she chose two pieces of lamb less than an inch thick and set aside wine, salt, pepper and rosemary that she had picked up.
Lemons are naturally grown and can be brought into the lotus pond space, but unfortunately I haven't found tomatoes for several years, so I can barely use cucumbers as a side dish.
The lamb scorpion soup that has been simmered for an hour is milky white, and with a gentle poke of chopsticks, the flesh and bone are separated.
The action of holding the sheep and scorpion in his hand is not so rude thanks to the old Liu family's years of training, Liu Ci used a knife and fork to cut the lamb chops on the plate, and ate extremely satisfied.
This time, the figure hiding behind the window and peeking at it stayed significantly longer than in the morning.
The lethality of the sheep and scorpion soup was several paragraphs higher than that of corn and mushroom soup, and because Liu Ci had not put out the fire, the fragrance hovered in front of the stone tower all afternoon.
In the evening, Liu Ci went to the stream to catch fish and ate grilled fish.
She didn't eat the fish as soon as it was cooked, but turned and went into the woods to collect firewood for the night.
When she left, the heavy wooden door creaked open. The thin figure hidden under the hooded mage's robe stood by the door for a long time, and finally hesitated to come to the steaming sheep and scorpion soup pot.
The arrogant Liu Ci opened a gang two meters from the door of someone else's house, and the thin mage only needed to stretch out his hand to reach the branch with the grilled fish on it.
Liu Ci hid behind the tree for a long time, and found that the thin mage was obviously very interested in the sheep scorpion soup, but he never started to eat it.
Is it because of the fear of poison, or is the act of stealing food not in line with the other party's moral standards?
This guy can't be a nobleman, right?
As soon as Liu Ci moved behind the tree, the slimming mage had already discovered her, and immediately raised his left hand and clenched his fist at Liu Ci.
Red, yellow, blue, green, brown, slender fingers with five rings of different colors, glowing in the light of fire.
ββ¦β¦ Come out! β
Jerky words, indeed, are undoubtedly spurs.
The female voice that surprised Liu Ci was indifferent, and the other party was actually a sister paper? Judging by that size, it was about the same as when she was eleven or twelve years old.
The perverted stone tower made Liu Ci dare not underestimate the other party, the color of the five rings was like the five elements of natural magic, it was too stupid to test it or something. Liu Ci stood up from behind the tree, and the oppressive giant sword was thrown by her beside the fire, raising her hands high: "I really have no malice, I'm just here to find my friend's whereabouts." β
The girl's face was hidden under the hood, and her left hand moved in the direction of Liu Ci's footsteps, until Liu Ci stood still, she said indifferently: "The realm of the Mage Tower, you, how did you get in." β
I walked and walked and came in, do you believe me when I say that?
According to the other party, it is not only the demonic beasts that cannot step into the forest, but also the humans.
Liu Ci felt a headache, could it be that the stone tower judged her to be a non-human? There is also a possibility that she has neither magic nor fighting energy in her body, and the stone tower thinks that she is no threat, so she can easily pass through the invisible barrier?
Thinking of this, Liu Ci decided to tell the truth.
"As I walked, I noticed that the scenery in front of me changed, and then I saw the forest, maybe because I had no ill will?"
It's obviously the most real reason, and it sounds like she thinks it's fake.
But the hooded girl seems to accept this statement.
The left hand was still aimed at Liu Ci and held it, but the keen Liujue told her that the hostility of the other party had disappeared.
"Excuse me, have you seen four of my companions?"
The hooded girl hesitated for a long time before replying in a cold voice: "They are in the tower, do you want to see them?" β
Liu Ci nodded, she was just very curious about everything, listening to the other party's voice was just a little girl, and she didn't have the heart to teach this guy with a hidden head and tail a hard lesson before. Born from the heart, she is not weak-hearted, and she is naturally not afraid of the scrutiny of the hooded girl.
ββ¦β¦ The Mage Tower lets you into the realm, and I believe you. β
The hooded girl finally lowered her left arm and motioned for Liu Ci to follow her.
Liu Aci followed behind and resisted the urge to roll her eyes, this sister is really naΓ―ve and easy to deceive, not to mention the trust of the mage tower, even the wisdom and brain of the great universe era may make mistakes, fortunately she is not really a bad person.
Following behind the innocent hooded girl, through the potholed courtyard, Liu Ci once again stood in front of the heavy wooden door.
This time, she no longer dared to underestimate the dilapidated "Mage Tower", and stood in order.
The hooded girl raised her left hand and pointed at the wooden door, and the wooden door opened from the inside with a flash of colored light.
The hooded girl walked in, there was only a silver candlestick in the black hole, and the faint light of the candle could only shine a few meters away, Liu Ci followed without hesitation.
The girl lit several lamps on the wall in turn, and the light was much brighter.
Four large fireplaces were divided in all directions, and the long large dining table rested on silver plates, and half of the bread and some shriveled apples were eaten, and the hooded girl's dinner was obviously not rich.
Liu Ci suddenly felt that he was bullying children by tempting the other party with food, and Miss Ci, who had no three views, was embarrassed.
The stone tower is tall, but the interior is not very spacious, and behind the vaulted hall is a staircase leading to the upper floor.
After the hooded girl brought her in, she sat down in a chair and silently ate the bread and shriveled apples on her plate, and after packing the plate into the hall, she brought out two steaming drinks.
Liu Ci blushed, this girl spoke coldly, but she was actually quite polite.
The smell of sheep and scorpion soup outside the yard was still wafting into the house, and she changed the topic awkwardly: "My name is Liu Ci, why do you live alone in the forest?" β
She was thrown into the deep mountains and old forests by the great god of traversing, and there was no way, whose adult was not as responsible as the great god of traversing?
ββ¦β¦ Rachel. β
The hooded girl replied as she flipped back the hood that had hidden her face.
The girl's appearance made Liu Ci can't help but squint her eyes.
