Chapter 0171: Warm Times
Antonucci paused for a moment, his experience of living in the jungle could be said to be zero, and when he heard Taylor's warning, he said bitterly: "Then we can only go hungry." Then his stomach rang again, and he didn't feel very hungry.
"I've eaten bird meat before, and when it's cooked, it's a heavenly delicacy and it's exciting. Taylor heard Antonucci's belly growl, and she continued to tease the other's taste buds.
Antonucci swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned back and warned: "Shut up, or I'll teach you a lesson, just because I can't kill doesn't mean I can't beat you, I don't have the slightest sympathy for beating a girl." β
Linda looked at Taylor's slightly swollen cheeks, which she had been punished for when she had been found out, and she didn't want to see that again. "Forget it, Taylor. β
Taylor didn't think so, even if Antonucci wanted to go hungry, she didn't, and as for escaping, it was more important to fill her stomach first. "Mr. Antonucci, you don't have to worry about me running away, think about it, my good sister Linda is still in your hands, I am not ungrateful, and your skills don't seem to have any difficulty in dealing with a girl, don't you even have this confidence?"
Antonucci lowered his head and thought for a while, the girl was right, even if the other party didn't care about the life and death of the other girl and insisted on escaping, it was not too difficult for him to deal with this girl, he was too cautious, and thought to himself, "Relax, Antonucci, you are a strong enough alchemist." β
He looked up at the huge bird's nest again. "Okay, I agree to your request, remember to act quickly, be honest, and don't play tricks. He untied Taylor's rope and took a few steps back, one hand pinching Linda's shoulder. "Let's get started. β
Going up the tree is not a difficult thing for Taylor, she has been a brave girl since she was a child, even some boys are not as good as her, which used to make her parents a little worried, girls are never a good thing, and now it seems that it is never a bad thing.
Taylor moved his wrist, there were some strangled marks on his wrist, and walked to the tree, Taylor took off his shoes and began to climb the tree, moving quite quickly, and soon climbed to half the height.
"It's amazing, if you're a boy, you're a capable fellow, and maybe you'll be my right-hand man. Antonucci admired the girl climbing the tree with interest. "The only regret is that you are not wearing a dress. β
"Shut your mouth when you want to eat, disgusting guy. Taylor, who had climbed halfway through the tree, warned Antonucci under the tree to keep climbing, and soon reached the top of the tree, where she sat on the treetop and looked at Antonucci and Linda below, if her heart hated enough, she could have abandoned Linda now, but she couldn't.
Approaching the nest, I found that there were several birds lying in it that were about to be able to fly, it was a nest of spotted chickens, this bird's flight ability is not very good, humans have bred domestic breeds, specially used to eat meat, wild ones will definitely be more delicious.
Taylor stroked the chirping birds. "Sorry, we need to fill our stomachs. "The girl is quite kind, but she is not so naΓ―ve as to forbid all killing, it is just the law of nature.
She reached out and grabbed four young birds, the old one was not in the nest, and there were a few eggs, which she put in her pocket, and then left the nest and climbed down the tree.
"Look what our brave girl has gained?" Antonucci quickly walked up, took the four birds that had already had their necks broken, and held out his hand. "And birds' eggs. β
Taylor handed it to the other party, frowned and asked, "Mr. Antonucci, how is your cooking skills, based on those previous performances, your cooking skills should be quite bad, I don't trust them very much." β
Antonucci's cooking skills were indeed quite bad, especially the barbecue, and he looked at it and gave the girl back the birds and eggs. "Okay, then you'll do the rest of the cooking, you have to be honest, I'll watch your every move. β
Back in the clearing, Antonucci and Linda stood aside, Taylor was defluting the birds, quite skillful, Antonucci smiled: "What a capable girl, if you are not the target of the leader, I can hire you as my chef." β
Taylor remembered four eggs. "The birds can roast meat, the eggs can be used to make soup, but I need some water, and you have to help me make a fire, so I have to do something to enjoy the results. β
Antonucci agreed with the girl, and he brought the jug from the horse's back, but the jug was empty. "Looks like we'll have to find some water, you wait here, I'll be back soon." He turned and dragged Linda up. "Let's go, be a companion. β
After only a few steps, Taylor was a little uneasy, put down his things and followed. "I can't trust you, I have to go with you. β
Antonucci nodded. "No problem, it's better to go together, to be honest, I'm still quite worried about you. β
The three of them left together, Antonucci took out some strange powder from his bosom and sprinkled it in the air, and some water droplets immediately condensed in the air, but the density of water droplets in each direction was not the same, looking at the direction where the water droplets were densest. "Here, it's wetter here. β
Taylor followed and asked curiously, "What kind of potion was that?" β
"That's nature, the hydrocoagulant potion is not a high-end alchemy, I have some very cutting-edge topics in alchemy, especially demonic elixirs, you have seen it. Antonucci's compliments to the girl were quite useful.
"It seems that I can ask you about this later, I am quite interested in supernatural powers, and you will not refuse me because of some association rules. Taylor saw a small puddle as he spoke, and Antonucci was right.
"The Guild does have such rules, and I'm curious about that, who would violate the rules of the Guild to teach a girl fire magic?" Antonucci had already walked in front of the puddle, and looking at the muddy water in the puddle, he took out some potions and sprinkled them into the puddle, and the puddle immediately became clear, and then he handed the kettle to Taylor. "I've got to keep an eye on you guys and prevent you from playing tricks, so come on. β
Taylor took the kettle, sat in front of the puddle and filled it with water, one kettle was enough for three people to use for two days, she washed her face in front of the puddle, then got up and looked at Linda, who was in a rather bad state, and proposed: "Let her go, let him wash too, don't look at me like that, I won't run away." β
Antonucci looked at Linda next to him, the girl was a little more delicate than Taylor, and it was really not a threat, he let go of the rope and took the kettle.
Linda immediately began to wash up in front of the puddle, and Taylor answered the previous question. "Richard Esdiarra, he's my teacher, he doesn't bow to any Holy See, he's a pretty good magician. β
Antonucci's expression changed strangely, and his eyes revealed shock. "Esdiarra Wizard Family?"
"That's right. Taylor confirmed.
Antonucci let out a strange cry of excitement. "Look, who did I catch? A descendant of the Magic Family, a female magician, but only the Esdiarra family doesn't care about the rules of the Bullshit Magic Society and the Holy See, Teaching magic to a girl, I should have thought of it. β
After the excitement, Antonucci had a strong interest in the topic. "How are they? Where are they? They quit the Wizards' Guild and chose to live in seclusion, and many people don't know the whereabouts of the Esdiarra family. β
"I'm sorry, it's a secret, the teacher won't let me reveal his whereabouts, that would make the papal guys watch. Taylor would never tell this kind of confidentiality.
Antonucci didn't feel angry. "That's as it should be, the Holy See is an annoying organization, they hate supernatural forces, they usually suppress all supernatural forces, and I don't like them either. He told the girl that he didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "As a member of the Alchemists' Guild, I think so too. β
"Would you like to give me a little guidance on alchemy, then?" Taylor tried to ask, she didn't have any expectations at all, because the guy in front of her was the opposite of her, she just wanted to make the relationship as harmonious as possible, so that Linda would suffer less, and the weak girl didn't want to be able to withstand the toss like her.
"Of course, you are the descendant of the Esdiarra family, it is my honor to be able to teach you, think about it, how exciting it is to think that the sorceress of the Esdiarra family is also my student. Antonucci danced with joy, but soon calmed down. "But only on some basic aspects, I can't tell you about alchemy that is too esoteric. β
"Deal, it doesn't look like you're exactly a bad person, at least in the Holy See's opinion. Taylor received an unexpected surprise.
Linda's washing is done quite slowly, as is often the case with girls, and the time they spend on makeup is usually an incredible fifth of their life limit.
Antonucci tied Linda back on. "Don't worry, I'll free you when you're back in place, and now you'll have to suffer something. "His attitude has improved a lot.
On the way, Antonucci explained some basic alchemy things to Taylor, and when he returned to the clearing, Taylor began to cook, and Antonucci also fulfilled his promise and let Linda go, but one of his feet was connected to Linda's one foot by a rope, which was much more comfortable for Linda.
Antonucci lit a fire and at the same time pulled a simple pot from the remaining stake, he can be said to be a genius in using a dagger, it is much easier to learn to remove human bones and dig a hole in a tree than a figure at the level of a gangster godfather, and then find a huge leaf and put it inside, and then sprinkle a little alchemical potion on it.
This scene happened to be seen by Taylor, and Antonucci explained: "Don't worry, this potion can increase the toughness of the leaves, avoid holes in the soup process, and of course, make the pot more resistant to burning." β
He divides the flame into two piles, one for roasting meat and the other for soup, though it is a bit difficult for him to open the eggs, but Taylor is taking care of the roast.
Boiling egg soup was not difficult for Linda, she walked over, took the four eggs, and then skillfully opened them, and a pot of soup was ready, delicious egg soup, and roast meat.
"It's unbelievable that there's such a delicious taste in the wild, I can't wait. Antonucci rubbed his hands together and waited to enjoy the deliciousness.
Soon the barbecue was ready, and Taylor handed one to Antonucci, who feasted on it, and as captives, Linda and Taylor had to be the last.
