Chapter 196: The Cat and the Little Devil
Hiro carefully handled the fresh fish on the cutting board, carefully removing every small piece of transparent fish scales, and the eleven seasonings including spices and seasonings had been prepared, the most precious of which was the wild honey that the elves had a reputation for on the continent. Young Clemson's most confident sweet and sour fish is just trying to curry favor with a special guest who has been hanging out around the prison lately, a wild tiger lynx.
Burdened by Andrarui's prosperity, the abundance of food here attracts a large number of rodents from the forest to settle here, which is not a good experience for the former human adventurers who live in prisons. In order to be able to deter the gray critters that were running rampant, Hero, who had just finished serving his sentence and could not bear the suffering of his former companions, began to study the favorite recipe of the lynx, hoping that the proud little jungle hunter would be able to confine his territory to Andrari's prison.
However, Hiro failed shamefully, and the clever tiger lynx shrewdly designated his "territory" as Hiro Clemmonson himself...... For a lynx that used to hunt in the jungle, there is perhaps nothing better than a good "territory" for someone who will provide him with delicious food on a regular basis.
As a result, Andrari's increasingly crowded living environment may be largely responsible. With the development and rise of the town, this well-planned city has attracted more and more admiring citizens, and the prosperity of the city has also attracted countless curious wild creatures. This city where delicacy is an important cohesion has a very rich food resource, as long as the citizens of Andrari do not harm it, even brown bears weighing hundreds of kilograms can find a rich source of food here.
Hiro once witnessed a young druid enter into an immortal pact with a wild brown bear...... Then the happy and sad druid was thus burdened with the heavy pressure of life. Out of the tradition of the elves, Andrari would not drive away wild beasts that possessed a certain amount of intelligence and did not hurt people, and the citizens would not clash with brown bears for some goods, such as fruit and river fish. But once the ignorant young brown bear had his own druid partner, it was all different, and as his closest companion, could a young elf be cheeky enough to let his partner continue to eat overlord meals in the city without paying?
As a result of this coincidence, Hero and Orien Changfeng, who also studied fresh fish under Chef Hobbit, became good friends, and each of them had their own "family" to pay for. Cooking your own food was a relatively less expensive option, and Hero had been glad countless times that he was dealing with the gray critters that roamed the dark corners of the city. Barton, the young male brown bear, ate a meal that ex-human adventurers could empathize with with the enormous pressure to survive, even if Andrari's food was less than one-tenth the price of the human cities he knew.
Perhaps because Andrari's population density is greater than that of most elven villages in the forest, the wild creatures who have embraced this environment have also let go of some of their customs in the forest. For hunters, the boundaries of the Andrari's territory are blurred as a result, and lynxes of the same sex will generally fight over the division of their territory when they encounter each other. In Andrari, where food is relatively plentiful, this kind of fight is more like a casual play, and the "tabby" of the Hiro family often lies on the wall with several other familiar lynxes to bask in the sun.
"Bad guy!" Mana, the leprechaun riding the Black Spotted Lynx, would often call him that when she met Hiro, and the young human could only smile bitterly in the face of such a name, and in general he could only warn himself that he was at fault in the first place.
In view of the current situation of the Andrari rat infestation, citizens who take in and discipline "cats" and "owls" in the city receive a monthly urban cleaning subsidy of five silver guilders from the city hall. Hiro didn't know why the lords of Andrarui called lynx and owls cats and owls, just as he didn't understand why the citizens of Andrarui called domestic wolves "dogs". But he had to admit that most lynxes and owls did seem to have a delicate kinship.
In Andrarui, the relationship between cats and dogs has always seemed delicate to Hiro. Cats are relatively sensitive creatures, and they usually don't actively show closeness unless they are familiar individuals. Dogs, on the other hand, tend to be much more enthusiastic, and after a few face-to-face encounters with you, they will be able to follow you and stare at you with a stupid look. If you feed it some food, then congratulations, your cat is likely to start a protracted battle with someone else's dog for such an inexplicable reason.
In a sense, Hero, who had been a sinner, felt that he was relieved that he could care so much about himself. Although the prosperity of the city is unique on this continent, the loneliness in the heart of Hiro, who is alienated from this strange prosperity, is known only to him.
What keeps Hiro in the city is Andrari's novel mode of operation and fellow former adventurers who are still imprisoned, but most importantly, Valhalla's secret "Dragon Strike".
Hiro, who was somewhat knowledgeable, once felt that the so-called "dragon strike technique" was nothing more than a relatively clever trick, a trick to improve the visibility of Andrarui's individual events. Until he witnessed the two competitors knock their opponents into the fence in the middle of the ring, knowing that it was a ten-meter square ring! As far as Hiro knew, in addition to the legendary heroes, this kind of blood-pumping scene was most often seen in the moment when the charging warhorse came into contact with the enemy. It's hard to fake the power it takes to shoot an opponent flying tens of kilograms, and Hiro doesn't think Andrarui would use some deep and secret magic for something like this. He still remembers the momentary clash of power and power in the ring, and the crowd around him erupted in a wave of sound that was enough to make people's blood boil, including Orien Changfeng, who was half-dragging and half-dragging him to watch the match.
Due to the advent of dragon strikes, the protection of both sides of the competition in the ring has almost reached an unprecedented level. Competitors' weapons, fists, elbows, ankles, and knees are all required to be cushioned with a thick, but relatively non-affecting stretch of cotton. Without these buffers, every dragon strike in the ring could threaten the life of your opponent. In addition to the offensive cushions, various protective buffers are also essential, although such a game is less fierce and bloody than the gladiatorial fights that humans admire. However, it is precisely because of these relatively perfect security measures, including the Druid Redeemer, that the two sides in the battle can show their strength and skills without any scruples, without thinking about the serious consequences of injury or even death.
Dwarf goblins can transform into awesome beings like trolls, and young humans have come to recognize from the bottom of their hearts the possibilities that exist in the city of Andrari. If there is anything that makes him feel incredible in the near future, it is related to the fact that he has just obtained a formal job, the profession of "kindergarten teacher".
Less than half a year ago, the young lord of Andrari, favored by the Lord of the Underworld, used a "demon bone mask" to bring about the true formation of the blood pool in the Dark Temple. Since then, the Dark Temple has given birth to a dozen or so special demons known as "Little Demons" every month. These newborn demons, who are different from cowardly demons, do not have the ability to survive alone compared to cowardly demons, but as the cornerstone of the demon clan in this city, they have a resource advantage that cannot be matched by cowardly demons in the birth demon world. And Hiro's professional "Kindergarten Teacher" is one of the many resources that Andrari has prepared for these little demons.
Although Andrarui's public kindergarten has one or two newborn little devils who can only repeat a few simple words every few days, after all, there are not only little devils in this welfare institution. If there was one of the most popular among the students, including Hiro, all of his colleagues would be unanimous in saying the name Eluni Leungxi.
Little Eluni is naturally not the only young elf in the kindergarten, but the kindergarten class leader who has the longest life experience in Andrarui can even act as Hiro's teacher in some ways! If you think about this class leader who is several times his actual age beyond himself, the young human does not feel that there is anything unacceptable to him.
As the only human teacher in the kindergarten, Hiro actually works here as a kind of anti-teaching material. In addition to taking care of the daily life of these bear children, another of Hiro's main tasks is to tell his innocent students about the cruel society outside the forest.
Stealing, cheating, betrayal, and even conspiracy, all of which are the main teachings of Hiro, and although the elves are somewhat disapproving of this method of teaching, the young humans do not see anything wrong with it, because as a member of the Clemsonian family, Hiro has gradually become independent under this kind of education.
Of course, the teaching work of human beings is only a part of the Andrarui Public Kindergarten, where there are also young and beautiful elven kindergarten teachers who teach children morality, etiquette, faith and perseverance. If there is anyone else who is engaged in a job of a similar nature to Hiro, it is the most special colleague in the kindergarten, the Cowardly Wow.
The coward, who had made a special contribution to Andraria, would tell his students about the mysterious and barren world of the Demon Realm, where the killings and strife were more brutal and direct than the relatively calm and rich Garandia. The competition for survival is a constant theme in that desolate world, and even Hiro loves to listen to Waja's stories about the Demon Realm, but as a coward, his colleague's knowledge of the Demon Realm is obviously very limited.
Every week, others come to the kindergarten to make guest appearances as lecturers, ranging from elven priests to demon warriors, Van Jia elders, and dwarf elders. These opportunities to increase their knowledge are also one of the reasons why young people can work as kindergarten teachers with peace of mind, and Hiro's long-term goal is to obtain Andraria's citizenship and save enough for his tuition to go to Valhalla to study the powerful power he yearns for.
