In the places that André Gesarez was profoundly influenced, many things happened that he did not know about. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and in a place unknown to those who are familiar with the Children of the Abyss, the half-elf who calls himself Mephistopheles Wei has encountered a problem that has left him at a loss.

What should be the exact definition of a village, and what should a baron's village look like? André didn't have a precise definition in mind, but if he had gathered all the dark, damp and dilapidated thatched houses in the village, and added the stone mansions of the lord's family, he didn't think that the village would be as large as half a street in Andrarui. When it comes to the impression they make, the difference between the streets of Andrarui and the village is more like a bright garden and a dark, stinking gutter.

Such a village, located on the edge of the city-state, with a permanent population of no more than 100, and the villagers had few other sources of material acquisition except farming, seemed to be somewhat stronger than the group of defeated under the command of the Children of the Abyss when they were first reborn in the Demon Realm, but in fact this was not the case.

At the beginning, the exiles under Andrei's command had only one requirement, finding a way to live, but the task given to Andrei by the goddess clearly stated that little Andrew's territory should be developed. At first glance, such an additional task seemed to be difficult, after all, the Son of the Abyss had already done the same thing again, and in terms of results, he had even done it very well. But the prerequisites for the rapid development of the old and new Andrari, Andrew's territory did not have.

Andrari's rapid growth is due to the support of carpenters, blacksmiths and "gardeners" who represent the most advanced craftsmanship in the world. If he only relied on the group of demons under his command who didn't understand what it was producing, Andrarui would definitely not be able to reach the current height. Although the Children of the Abyss possess knowledge far beyond their time, even the realization of one-twelfth of them requires the help of skilled craftsmen. The principle of the internal combustion engine is understood by junior high school students, but an automobile engine with superior operation stability and performance is an important embodiment of a country's industrial strength.

And here, in this backward territory on the border of the city-state, André saw only a group of dark-skinned, hungry-faced peasants.

As a former Lord of Action who was accustomed to efficient work, the Children of the Abyss had been investigating since arriving at their destination, but the more he saw and heard, the more his eyebrows could not be stretched.

Larry was glad to see that Mr. Mephistopheles was so eager to learn about the current state of the territory, but as a host, he could not afford to neglect the newcomers. He had heard from the Children of the Abyss, and even for the sake of his nephew and the future of the realm, he had to entertain the guests who could make a difference for the place.

"Lord Larry, there's not much food left in the cellar. This time you went out and took with you almost all the savings that the old man had accumulated during his lifetime......" As soon as he heard the instructions to prepare dinner for the guests, the lame butler who stayed in the mansion couldn't help but look bitter.

"What about Seth, the guest is very important today, so let's get something from him to entertain you. Larry's first thought was the only hunter in the village.

"My lord, Seth and his family have paid their taxes this year......"

The forest on the edge of the village occupies a large area of land in the south, and at the southern end of this forest, which stretches for nearly a hundred miles, is a half-elf city and territory. Due to the nature of the half-elves, this land guarded by the half-elf druids prohibits large-scale hunting by humans, and many very dangerous beasts are infested in it, unless there are a few people who do not want to die, and only a few good hunters dare to rely on this forest to hunt for a living.

"I still have some money here, just take the money and exchange it with him. Larry counted out some silver coins from his money bag and handed them to the middle-aged butler.

"Alright, sir, I'm going to sell it anyway, and Seth should be happy to sell it to us. The housekeeper, who was not much cleaner than the villagers, limped away.

......

The argument that gradually became fierce disturbed Andre's thinking, and the son of the abyss of the two people who quarreled knew only the middle-aged butler named Kelvin. It had nothing to do with the impression that he looked polite in a black dress, and the butler of the Barton family was just an honest man under the patronage of the former Baron Baron, an ordinary lame man, who had never been exposed to any decent aristocratic etiquette, and only looked a little paler than those peasants who had been working all the year round.

"Mr. Kelvin, it's none of my business how many guests come to the Lord's Mansion, but I'll only sell one!" The man who had an argument with the butler was carrying two large birds with bright feathers, presumably male pheasants or something, these guys with long, beautiful feathers were not the same as the stocky house-keeping hen guests. It looks very large, but once you pluck it, you will find that the part you can eat is less than half of what you imagined.

The Children of the Abyss silently counted the number of people in their companions, and then came to the conclusion that if this was the main course of the day, even if there were two, they would have to add some large side dishes. It is no wonder that this poor marmot-like gentleman butler will haunt the other party, but his opponent, although dressed in the same down-and-out clothes as him, is actually not the same kind of person. The hunter who carried two pheasants and claimed that one of them was reserved for his son was more like a fox that had just emerged from the mire, and although it looked unbearable, it held its prey in its mouth vigilantly. If anyone dares to hit the idea of food in his mouth, I am afraid that even in front of the bear, he will bare his teeth and show no weakness.

So when the marmot and the fox were entangled with each other but could not understand the point, Andrei, who could not find the answer to the question for a while, had no choice but to walk over and end the pointless dispute before the situation escalated.

"Mr. Kelvin, I think I might as well invite this Mr. Hunter and his family to today's dinner?"

......

Hearing that the half-elf who invited him was going to go to the forest to find ingredients in person, Seth originally wanted to go with him, after all, he was the only one in the village who was most familiar with this forest. Although Seth didn't have much expectation for the dinner party afterward, a half-elf who only made a high impression in the past, and at the same time the teacher of the future lord, actually took the initiative to make friends with a character like himself who was not popular with the forest, Seth still hoped that the other party would not encounter any accidents in the forest. When the hunter asked, Kelvin told him that the young lord's teacher had gone into the woods with the three girls, so Seth could only secretly pray that all the half-elves were the heirs of the earth favored by the forest, and that they would not encounter any dangerous beasts because of bad luck.

As a hunter who knew the forest outside the village very well, Seth always felt a little uneasy that the lord's guests were not in front of him intact, and what he did not expect was that this indescribable anxiety would be as he waited for more than an hourglass.

When he saw the half-elf again, he was discussing with the orc girl beside him which mushrooms were edible and which were poisonous.

"Sir, Nainali must be right on the side, this long white mushroom is the one we usually pick the most in the grass!"

"The types of mushrooms that grow in different regions and environments are usually different, so the safest way is to ask experienced locals. André said as he handed the basket to Mr. Hunter, who was going to have dinner with them.

"These two are edible, this one can cause diarrhea, and it is difficult to distinguish between the same kind of highly poisonous mushroom that is enough to kill this white mushroom, and it is better to throw it away as poisonous. If the rest of the rest are uncertain, it is better not to touch them either. Seth noticed that the mushrooms in the basket were carefully separated into piles to make it easier to distinguish them, and he was even more sure that the half-elf had the most basic jungle survival ability.

"This might be poisonous, isn't it?" asked Andre as he casually threw a raw mushroom into his mouth.

At this time, Seth was completely speechless, and all he could answer the other party's questions was a look of astonishment as if he had seen an undead.

"It's okay, ordinary mushrooms don't poison me. To put it mildly, the Children of the Abyss shoved another mushroom into their mouths, which was said to cause diarrhea. (Pure fiction, please do not imitate!!)

Although Seth believed that the other party would not joke with his life, he could not respond calmly when he saw this very terrifying scene. And beside him, Kelvin was already in a cold sweat at this time, his feet were weak, and he looked a little shaky.

......

Some poisonous mushrooms with a rapid onset of toxins are usually non-lethal when consumed in small amounts, some can cause acute gastroenteritis, and some are hallucinogenic neurotoxins. Unlike poisonous snakes, which are life-threatening toxins that enter the circulatory system, if you have to use an analogy, the process of mushroom toxins causing harm in the human body is actually somewhat similar to a very familiar drink.

Like alcohol, most mushroom toxins are less efficient to break down in the human digestive system and are more easily absorbed directly. If a mushroom contains toxins that are unstable and tend to decompose when heated, then it is often considered non-toxic, simply because most people are not in the habit of eating mushrooms raw. There are many weak toxins in the boletus population, commonly known as "Jianshou Qing" (of course, there is no shortage of highly toxic species, and even the same mushroom has different toxicity due to different regions), and those mushroom toxins that can kill people with only a small amount are often water-soluble toxins that are difficult to decompose or even produced after thermal decomposition.

A small part of the alcohol that enters the human blood circulation is excreted in the form of urine and respiration, and most of the rest is broken down into non-toxic and harmless components in the liver and finally metabolized. The most lethal poisonous mushrooms are a bit different from what people think, and these toxins, which are difficult to break down by heat and stomach acid, will be difficult to metabolize by the liver and kidneys after entering the blood circulation system through the stomach and intestines, causing a huge burden on the two main detoxification organs of the human body. The poisoned person will be slowly eroded by the toxin for several days or even a week, and eventually die due to organ failure.

Like snake venom, most biotoxins struggle to achieve the legendary effect of "seeing blood and sealing the throat". Because in the process of biological evolution, the extreme toxicity of seeing blood and sealing the throat is actually unnecessary, for many poisonous animals, the deadly toxins in the body need the corresponding protective function to dissolve, and the blood sealing the throat has become an unnecessary burden at this time.

Of course, there are no toxins that really "seal the throat when you see blood", but most of them are artificially produced by chemical means and do not exist in nature. It is often mentioned that the slightest bit of poison can poison an elephant or how many people are poisoned, and there is often no "antidote" for these toxins. Or that death has already come before and during the antidote has taken effect.

And Andre is least afraid of these toxins that destroy body tissues and human body functions, even if he can't use life magic to quickly decompose these toxins, he can also use the healing power brought by magic to eliminate the damage caused by toxins.

So, when Seth and Kelvin were terrified that the Lord, a half-elf guest, would fall to the ground in the next instant. The Children of the Abyss, on the other hand, hummed a tune that no one knew, and handled with great pleasure the prey that the butler had bought from the hunter.

At Andrew's orders, Kelvin had already placed an hourglass after adding well water, salt, and chicken blood to the pot. Taking the blood clots that were still bright but had basically coagulated, cut them into small pieces and poured them into an iron pot with well water to heat them, the Children of the Abyss also explained like the orc girl who was eager to try it behind him: "Putting salt before coagulating into blood clots not only allows the salty taste to penetrate deep into the inside, but also speeds up the formation of blood clots, and the amount of water added is also a small science." If you don't add it or add too little, the taste of the blood tofu will become very old, and if you add too much, it will be difficult to form......"

Explaining this, the half-elf began to dispose of the internal organs that were normally discarded by Seth. Not to mention that these messy organs are difficult to clean and dispose of, and they also have a strong fishy smell. Experienced hunters know that these parts that most people don't want to look at more often are still the way to spread diseases and Gu worms. At this time, the half-elf's care in handling and cleaning the internal organs made the hunter involuntarily begin to doubt, eating the internal organs of small prey is obviously a custom that only orcs have always maintained, why would the half-elf in front of him use a slightly jerky but very careful attitude to deal with these things that make people feel unhappy at all?

As the Children of the Abyss pulled out the strange-smelling weeds, dried fruits without flesh, and pungent bark from the other baskets, the skeptical hunter began to doubt the true identity of the half-elves.

When Andre fished out the red blood clot from the boiling water, and then poured the chicken skin, chicken innards, and various unknown parts of unknown plants that Seth didn't recognize into a dry-boiled iron pot and stir-fried vigorously, a unique smell that made the middle-aged hunter feel a little confused but with a little bit of anticipation instantly took over the not as spacious kitchen.

Would he have poured some strange liquid at the end, and boiled these unpleasant things into a pot of dark green unidentified things?--The hunter's curiosity, which had not throbbed for a long time, came alive at this moment.

It's just that the faint expectations in his heart have not been fulfilled until the end......
